“…”
Zhu Wuhuan was stunned.
She blinked foolishly, looking at the old general in front of her with white hair on his temples, unable to react.
What the hell? Odd changes, even doesn't?
Wait, did she hear it wrong, or... did she meet a fellow villager?
Not likely, right?
An old man in his fifties also traveled through time?
No, who would be so unlucky as to travel through time and space into the body of an old man who is about to die? It would be so tragic to be buried before fulfilling one's ambitions!
She stared at General Zhu for several times, but still couldn't believe that he was a time traveler like her!
She must have heard it wrong!
Maybe the five words he said were homophonic, and definitely not the five words she imagined!
Zhu Huaining saw that his daughter was just looking at him stupidly and didn't respond with surprise, so he frowned slightly.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
He continued the next sentence slowly, "Odd changes, even does not change, the sign depends on the quadrant—"
Then he looked at her and deliberately tested her, "You haven't learned this? How old were you when you traveled through time?"
He felt that this kind of temptation was the simplest and crudest.
If the person in front of her wasn't a time traveler, then she had no idea what time travel meant. He didn't have to worry about being exposed and could just find an excuse to get away with it.
If this is a time traveler, then he has explained it so clearly, she shouldn't play dumb anymore, right?
"!" Zhu Wuhuan really could no longer doubt it!
Odd numbers change but even numbers remain the same, so I might suspect that I heard it wrong. It's a homophone, but then the symbols following it might also be homophones depending on the quadrant, right?
Besides, he had directly asked her about her time travel, so what was there to doubt?
This is my fellow villager!
She raised her hand to signal Suqiu and the other palace servants to leave.
After everyone had left, there was no need to pretend to be father and daughter anymore. Her face fell, she coldly shook off the old general's arm, and then took two steps back to distance herself from him.
"You're not General Zhu, why didn't you tell me earlier? You're wasting my feelings!"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him unhappily and spoke rapidly.
"I thought I'd actually met the idol I'd admired since childhood. I was so excited last night that I almost fell asleep! When you first came in, I had already planned how to act like a spoiled child with you, how to honor you, protect you, and be the best father and daughter you could ever be! I had even planned to make my idol, the old general, the happiest father in the world, but it turned out all my enthusiasm was in vain!"
At this point, she was extremely sad and angry, and she couldn't help but look at him with gritted teeth, "How hateful! You are not my idol, the old general, you are actually a time traveler!"
Zhu Huaining stared blankly at the "daughter" in front of him.
After confirming that this was a time traveler, he was sad.
But before the sadness had time to completely envelop his heart, he heard this barrage of words, which left him stunned and unable to react.
She has always admired him since she was a child?
She still wanted to shyly act like a spoiled child in front of him, to sincerely respect him, protect him, and have the best father-daughter relationship in the world?
As the queen, she didn't think about how to use this powerful old general to consolidate the status of her and her son, but rather, how to make him the happiest father in the world?
Why is this time traveler different from what he imagined?
Such a pure and lovely character...
The look he gave his "daughter" slowly became complicated...
"How long have you been here? Where is your hometown?"
Zhu Wuhuan had already regarded the person in front of him as a fellow villager. After venting his grief and anger, he calmly gestured for him to sit down and talk.
Zhu Huaining sat down silently.
His eyes flashed, and he planned to borrow the identity and experience of the time traveler Si Sangsang.
Just like the time-travel code I just heard from Si Sangsang, odd changes mean even remains the same.
He said calmly, "Twenty-four years. My hometown is Haishi."
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him in surprise. "You're from Hai City too? What a coincidence! Me too! Where do you live?"
Zhu Huaining's eyes dimmed slightly. Is this also from Haishi?
How could it be such a coincidence that two time travelers came from the same city?
However, he didn't want to talk to this time traveler about what would happen a thousand years later for the time being, otherwise he would be exposed.
After all, he was not a time traveler. He had only occasionally heard Si Sangsang talk about the world a thousand years later. As long as the time traveler in front of him asked a few more questions, he would be exposed.
He had to find out more before he was exposed.
So he said, "I've traveled here for twenty-four years. You weren't even born then. Even if I told you my home address, you might not know it."
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, "Indeed, Hai City is developing too fast. It is indeed different from the era I lived in twenty years ago."
So she stopped asking him about what happened before he traveled through time. She was now more curious about what he had done in all these years since he traveled through time.
She asked, "Since you traveled through time, why didn't you protect the Zhu family? If I hadn't come, the Zhu family would have been executed like in history!"
Zhu Huaining's eyes darkened again.
In history, the Zhu family was indeed wiped out!
He suppressed the sharp pain in his heart and said calmly, "You told your mother and your brothers that you had a dream in which Feng Changye slaughtered the entire Zhu family. Even I vomited blood and died when I returned to the Daning border, right? It was because I heard your mother talk about this that I guessed that you might be a time traveler who knows history, and it was you who saved the Zhu family."
Then he changed the subject, "But you know what? When I traveled through time and space twenty-four years ago, history was not like this. In the history I know, Feng Changye was not the Emperor of Daning. There were not even the brothers Feng Changye and Feng Changjin in history. They only appeared after I traveled through time and space and changed history."
He borrowed the experience of the time traveler Si Sangsang and told it in a very convincing way.
Zhu Wuhuan was frightened immediately!
She was shocked. "How is that possible? Isn't the history you know the same as the history I know?"
Zhu Huaining nodded and stared into her eyes. "I suspect that the history you are familiar with is another history after I changed the Great Ning Dynasty."
Zhu Wuhuan was stunned. How could this be possible?
She asked in disbelief, "So what history do you know?"
Zhu Huaining did not hide anything and told Zhu Wuhuan everything about the historical trajectory that Si Sangsang had told him.
The eldest prince was poisoned by the second prince, who was then imprisoned by the late emperor. The late emperor died from the shock, and the third prince ascended the throne...
The Third Prince was a useless emperor who only cared about beautiful women and not the country. He allowed his uncle to destroy the Daning Dynasty, which collapsed after twenty-four years...
After saying this, he sighed, "That's right. From what I know about history, the Third Prince Feng Changrong was the emperor. There were no brothers Feng Changye and Feng Changjin in the royal family."
Zhu Wuhuan was dumbfounded when he heard this completely different history!
