"Who are you?"
Nie Changchuan looked at Zhao Lihe with a frown on his face.
Zhao Lihe smiled slightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "I ride the sword on the wind to slay the demons between heaven and earth. With wine, I am happy and carefree. Without wine, I am also crazy. I drink up the rivers and lakes, and then drink up the sun and the moon. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Only my wine sword——"
"fart!"
Nie Zhangchuan was so upset that he couldn't help but complain, "This is Qian... There's no Shushan here, so where did the Drunken Swordsman come from?"
Very good, this fellow lost his patience and revealed his true colors after just a few probing words.
Zhao Lihe smiled slightly and said without any context, "Master Nie, would you like to chat?"
Nie Changchuan frowned, glanced at Zhao Lihe and the other four, and asked tentatively: "Are you also..."
Zhao Lihe didn't let him finish, but smiled and bowed, saying: "I am Zhao Lihe, a high priest of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain."
The three brothers Lu Jianxing beside them also bowed and told their names.
Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, Ding Xian.
When these three names came out, Nie Changchuan's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he remained silent for a long while.
After a long while, Nie Changchuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Lihe, the only person he had never heard of.
"Are you serious?"
Zhao Lihe smiled slightly and asked again: "Let's chat?"
Nie Changchuan glanced at his sister and cousin beside him and fell into deep thought.
Zhao Lihe waved his hand, and the three Lu Jianxing brothers immediately took Ning Caichen away.
Ning Caichen's eyes widened, looking confused: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Ding Xian smiled and said, "Brother Ning, don't panic. My master wants to talk to Master Nie alone."
Hearing this, Ning Caichen stopped resisting and reluctantly followed Lu Jianxing and the other two brothers away.
Seeing this, Nie Changchuan immediately changed his words and said, "So it's a fellow from Mount Longhu... Sister, Yuechi, you two go back to the carriage first. I have something to discuss with this fellow from Mount Longhu."
Going back to the carriage?
Nie Xiaoqian's face was filled with black lines.
However, after catching a glimpse of the smiling Zhao Lihe, Nie Xiaoqian did not use her sister's blood suppression. She just nodded slightly and took the hand of Fu Yuechi, who was still reluctant to leave, and walked back the way they came.
Nie Changchuan escorted them all the way until he saw the two women get into the carriage with his own eyes, then he turned and walked towards Zhao Lihe beside the official road.
At this time, neither Nie Xiaoqian's sister nor Lu Jianxing and his three companions could hear the conversation between the two.
But Nie Changchuan was still a little worried, so he immediately took out the talisman and set up a soundproof barrier.
Zhao Lihe nodded slightly: "You are very cautious."
Nie Changchuan said calmly: "This is a world of gods and ghosts. If I am not careful, I will not be alive today."
Zhao Lihe asked with great interest: "Then why did you dare to leave them behind and meet me alone? Are you confident in your abilities?"
"No." Nie Changchuan shook his head and said calmly, "Because I know I can't escape."
"You may not know that I am born with the ability to seek good fortune and avoid danger. When I was only ten years old, I ran away from home and traveled all over China alone. I eventually became a disciple of Maoshan. I relied on this talent to seek good fortune and avoid danger."
Zhao Lihe laughed and shook his head, "Alright, don't use your master's inheritance to pressure me. I have no ill will towards you. Besides, Maoshan is nothing to me. Even if you invite your ancestor here, you have to be polite to me..."
Why are you so arrogant?
Nie Changchuan was a little surprised to see that Zhao Lihe's expression did not seem fake.
After a little thought, Nie Changchuan asked seriously, "Are you a time traveler?"
Zhao Lihe nodded and said, "That's right."
"When did you come?"
"A few days ago."
"A few days ago?"
Nie Zhangchuan looked strange, looking Zhao Lihe up and down, and couldn't help asking, "Growing so fast?"
Zhao Lihe's mouth twitched, his face full of black lines.
Nie Changchuan laughed awkwardly, stopped making jokes, and asked, "What are you wearing?"
"What else?"
"Interesting. Then I guess you must have traveled through time on your own initiative?"
"That's right."
"Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Ding Xian are all characters in Embroidered Spring Blade. You traveled through time from the world of Embroidered Spring Blade. They call you Master, which means you are their immediate superior. No, the Jinyiwei do not have such a strong dragon and tiger aura. You traveled through time and space to become the emperor, which is not right. Your last name is Zhao, not Zhu..."
Nie Changchuan clapped his hands and said suddenly, "I understand. You rebelled and overthrew the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhao Lihe twitched his lips and said, "Does this level of reasoning need to be read out loud?"
Nie Changchuan paid no attention to what Zhao Lihe said. He exclaimed in amazement, "How amazing! He was able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and travel through the myriad worlds with the protagonists of the movie world. Brother Zhao, you don't have a system, do you?"
"Not really." Zhao Lihe shook his head, and then changed the subject, "But I have a stronger support than most systems!"
“…”
Nie Changchuan blinked and said hesitantly, "A fearless heart?"
Zhao Lihe burst out laughing, thinking that if this guy joined the alliance, he would probably have a lot of common topics with Zuo Yu, Bai Lang and others.
However, if Nie Xiaoqian were here, she would understand that Nie Changchuan is not as relaxed as he seems.
He is only so unserious when he is nervous. On ordinary days, his words and actions are actually very decent.
Zhao Lihe didn't know what Nie Changchuan said and did on a daily basis, he just thought that this person was very interesting and had a high probability of passing the alliance's review.
But it has to be said that the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "I know, you must be very curious about why Ning Caichen is by my side. This is because--"
Nie Changchuan said without hesitation: "No, don't mention him, I have no interest in Ning Caichen's affairs!"
Seeing Nie Changchuan's resistance, Zhao Lihe had a thoughtful look on his face.
Zhao Lihe suddenly asked, "Are you a sister complex?"
Nie Changchuan was so annoyed: "You are the one with sister control!"
Zhao Lihe thought about how Ding Baiying would look like when she grew up, and nodded, "You're right, have you heard of my wife Ding Baiying?"
“…Ah?” Nie Changchuan’s eyes widened. “You…you…”
Looking at Nie Changchuan's envious and jealous expression, Zhao Lihe couldn't help but smile slightly.
He does not hide his XP at all, this is the calmness of a married man!
Looking at Nie Changchuan, Zhao Lihe guessed that this guy might be a virgin in two lifetimes, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so strongly to his words.
Nie Changchuan suddenly said, "I don't know why, but I always feel like there's a critical hit term popping up above my head..."
"It's just an illusion!" Zhao Lihe said calmly, "Since you don't want to hear my story, why don't you tell me your own story first."
Nie Changchuan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, my story starts when I was ten years old..."
Looking at Nie Changchuan who looked serious, Zhao Lihe said with a frown: "Why don't you just start from your previous life!"
Nie Changchuan curled his lips, immediately reduced the amount of words, and told his story concisely.
The reason why he was so calm was mainly because his experience had become a curiosity in the capital and could be known by just asking around.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, Lanruo Temple and Pudu Cihang, the other party is a time traveler and already knows the truth. With a little inquiry, they can deduce the whole picture and there is no need to hide anything.
On the contrary, Zhao Lihe has a mysterious background and is quite cunning.
Nie Changchuan couldn't figure out his background, so he could only treat him with caution.
Zhao Lihe said thoughtfully: "So you plan to find Yan Chixia to deal with Pudu Cihang?"
Nie Changchuan nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Zhao, do you know where Hero Yan is now?"
Zhao Lihe said without hesitation: "The underworld."
"……What?"
Nie Changchuan blinked his eyes, as if he suspected he was hallucinating.
Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "The tree demon has been injured by us. She will not be able to come out to harm people for hundreds of years. The Black Mountain Demon was also chased to the underworld by Yan Chixia and I and completely eliminated. The owner of the Wrongful Death City has changed. Yan Chixia is now the new city lord. Maybe he will be promoted to Yama in the future."
“…”
Nie Changchuan opened his mouth wide and stared at Zhao Lihe in a daze. After a long while, he managed to utter two words -
"Fuck!"
It's really weird!
He just went up the mountain to practice Taoism for a few years, so how come he missed so many plots?
Nie Changchuan was speechless for a long time, then sighed and said, "So, Hero Yan can no longer come to the mortal world to perform heroic deeds?"
Zhao Lihe chuckled and said, "Why do you have to look for Yan Chixia? Isn't there a more powerful fighter in front of you?"
Nonsense, he had seen the movie and knew Yan Chixia well, but Zhao Lihe appeared out of nowhere. Although he was also a time traveler, it was really difficult for Nie Changchuan to completely trust him.
After hesitating for a moment, Nie Changchuan frowned and said, "You want to help me kill Pudu Cihang?"
Zhao Lihe said calmly: "I will not only kill Pudu Cihang, but also overthrow this corrupt court. If you want, I can even push you onto the throne of the emperor. If you want to emulate the great man and enlighten the people, that's not impossible."
"stop!"
Nie Changchuan hurriedly stopped Zhao Lihe and asked in astonishment: "You want to help me rebel?"
Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "That depends on whether you have the intention."
Nie Changchuan frowned and asked, "Why?"
Zhao Lihe said calmly: "Because I can't stand the way things are in this world... Is that reason enough?"
Nie Changchuan frowned in thought, then shook his head and said, "It's enough to convince Nie Changchuan, but it's not enough to convince the time traveler!"
"You can travel through the world, and even bring people through it. Why don't you include this world in the territory of your own dynasty?"
Seeing the confusion on Nie Changchuan's face, Zhao Lihe smiled and asked, "Guess who accepted Yan Chixia's position as the Lord of the City of Wrongful Death?"
Nie Changchuan pondered, "The City of Wrongful Death is a city in the underworld created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to imprison those who died unjustly—wait, it's Bodhisattva?"
Nie Changchuan looked surprised, and then instantly understood what Zhao Lihe meant.
After all, this world is inhabited by gods and Buddhas. It is fine for Zhao Lihe to interfere with the plot, but if he wants to annex this world, he will inevitably conflict with the gods and Buddhas.
After understanding this, Nie Changchuan no longer had any doubts, and sighed: "Unfortunately, I only want to cultivate immortality and ascend to heaven, and I have no interest in becoming an emperor. But my old man might be interested in that position..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lihe was stunned.
"You want to help your father become emperor?!"
I have seen people who take the initiative to help their children, but I have never seen anyone who takes the initiative to help their father.
Moreover, when he was able to ascend the throne, he took the initiative to give it to his father.
Is this the legendary truth that as long as I can make my dad a first-generation rich man, I can become a second-generation rich man?
Zhao Lihe thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Actually... it's not impossible!"
