Chapter 219 Confession
Yun Qingshi: "Awu should know Zishu Heming."
Xiao Jiwu nodded: "Yeah."
Yun Qingshi continued, "The story begins with Zishu Heming."
"Zi Shu Heming is the seventh prince of Beining, yet he is now held hostage in my Qi Kingdom. This is because he is not valued in Beining, and the Beining royal family is extremely corrupt and decadent, leaving the entire country in tatters and ruin. Such a situation is ripe for destruction."
"But, there is one person who will change all this, Xie Fenchuan."
Xiao Jiwu also knew this name, and he couldn't help but say, "The son of the former Beining Cavalry General."
Yun Qingshi nodded: "Yes, he vowed to change the chaos in Beining, and he is also Zishu Heming's childhood partner, just like you and me."
"The person I'm waiting for at the city gate today is Xie Fenchuan."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jiwu's eyes, but he did not interrupt Yun Qingshi again, just waiting for the young man to continue speaking.
Yun Qingshi: "I'm waiting for him not for anything else, but just to change the situation in the future. Probably in the few days before the New Year, he will find a way to bring his men through Lai'an Gate to sneak into the Imperial City and meet Zishu Heming."
"But the result this time will be that he will be shot by your arrow and flee in panic, leaving none of his men alive. Zishu Heming will also be implicated, and his future will be even more difficult."
"I'll briefly explain the rest. You will ascend the throne, and Zishu Heming's life will become even more difficult. Xie Fenchuan will then try to rescue Zishu Heming, but you will launch an attack on Beining, forcing Beining to hand over Zishu Heming. Zishu Heming will return to Qi State for the sake of his country, and Xie Fenchuan will declare war on you. This battle will last for three years, and in the end, Xie Fenchuan will win."
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu's eyes were already filled with shock. He frowned slightly and opened his mouth to ask something, but he didn't know how to start, because he had too many doubts in his mind at this moment.
Yun Qingshi was naturally aware of this. He stretched out his fingertips and gently pressed Xiao Jiwu's lips: "Listen to me, then you can ask."
Yun Qingshi continued, "The reason I know all this isn't because I have the ability to predict the future, but because I wasn't originally from this world. I entered a storybook after death, and the world we live in now is the world in that storybook. Therefore, I'm not your former secret guard Ying Shiyi, and I don't know where Ying Shiyi went. When I woke up, you punished me by making me kneel in the yard."
"I know it's hard to believe, but it's true."
"Oh right, there's also the matter of the No Return Cliff. It was also because I read the story that I knew in advance that someone would come to assassinate me, so I laid a net in the middle of the cliff and tried to escape, but I didn't expect you..."
"You should have noticed it a long time ago, but you just didn't dare to think about it. I didn't lose my memory. I lied because I didn't know how to explain why I didn't take the antidote."
Yun Qingshi finally said, "That's what happened. If there's anything else you don't understand, just ask and I'll tell you."
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu took a while to speak, and he said, "The ginger tea is getting cold."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi didn't say much, he just picked up the bowl and drank it all.
"alright."
Xiao Jiwu pursed his lips and said, "Otherwise, don't read the storybook anymore. If you really want to read it, I'll send someone to read it to you."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was speechless.
It seems like I listened to what you said, but why can't I find the main point?!
Is this the point!?
He thought Xiao Jiwu wanted to ask him about his ending in the storybook, or something else important.
Yun Qingshi: "Can we talk about the important things first?"
Xiao Jiwu answered seriously, "For me, this is the most important thing right now."
He was really worried that the boy had read so many storybooks. If he went into one of them one day, how would he be able to find the person?
Yun Qingshi was speechless and tired, and pinched his eyebrows.
But when he saw Xiao Jiwu's serious expression, he knew that this man was not joking.
After thinking about it for a while, he understood why Xiao Jiwu suddenly said this.
Xiao Jiwu was afraid that he would be transported into another book.
But it’s not that simple, how can you put it on just like that?
Yun Qingshi said helplessly: "First of all, you have to understand one thing. I was dead before I came into this storybook. Will you let me die again?"
Xiao Jiwu replied: "No."
Yun Qingshi added, "Yes, and my martial arts skills are not vegetarian, so it's impossible."
"Can we get down to business now?"
Xiao Jiwu nodded slightly and opened his mouth again: "Then, why did Qingqing... die in her previous life?"
Yun Qingshi fell silent again for a moment, but after experiencing Xiao Jiwu's previous question, he was no longer too surprised.
He knew that Xiao Jiwu would not give up if he didn't answer, so he quickly said, "While trying to save someone, he was stabbed in the abdomen by a gangster. He probably died from excessive blood loss."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu frowned and clenched his hands.
Yun Qingshi immediately noticed Xiao Jiwu's mood, and then grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand in his palm with a smile: "Okay, that's all from the past life, why are you still so angry? I don't care anymore, so don't think about it."
Xiao Jiwu's mood did not improve: "Qingqing..."
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Jiwu's face and said, "Don't think about that anymore. Let's get back to the current issue. Do you still have any questions?"
Xiao Jiwu closed his eyes upon hearing this, nodded slightly, and spoke again: "What is the ending of you and me in the book?"
When Yun Qingshi heard Xiao Jiwu's question, his face was filled with relief.
Finally, I finally remembered to ask this.
He quickly withdrew his hands and sat back in his seat, then replied, "Awu, you've read the storybooks, so you should know that there are usually protagonists in storybooks. In that storybook, the protagonists are Zishu Heming and Xie Fenchuan. As for you and me, you have a relatively important role, being the biggest villain. I, no, it should be Ying Shiyi, who only has a very small role."
"The Ying Shiyi in the book will die at the Cliff of No Return. "Dead" means dead. In the story, he died by taking the knife for you. He was very loyal. And the Prince Xiao in the story... will be killed by Xie Fenchuan. Because in the storybook, you are set as a villain, and you have done many evil things and killed many innocent people. After you are killed, the Qi Kingdom will be gone..."
