Chapter 87 Extra Chapter: The Ten Unsolved Mysteries of Ancient Qin (Part 2)
[This is a bit far-fetched. According to historical records at the time, it's reasonable to suspect that they encountered their own motherland, so it's hard to say who died.]
[Oh, is it Gu Qi? Of the five-nation coalition, only Qi was just watching and didn't come; they were the only ones with a decent relationship with her.]
[So Gu Qi came in person back then, and even fought alongside his mother against five opponents, sacrificing himself in the arms of his motherland. It's truly heartbreaking.]
[Hilarious! The main point is that in the end, King Qi was even exiled to work the land with farmers, without receiving any benefits.]
[Hahahaha][Hahaha, dying of laughter][The person in front knows how to insult people]
[Oh right, so why does the death of Motherland's friend symbolize the crushing defeat of the five nations? If it were one of the five nations that died, why would Motherland be holding her?][I don't understand.jpg]
"I'm sure everyone is wondering, according to historical records, there were only a few national spirits who could be called gods at that time. What exactly was the relationship between the two countries that were embracing each other? Then please see 'Me and My Six Harems' (link below)."
[? ? ?] [? ? ?] [This is outrageous! People shouldn't, at least shouldn't!] [This shouldn't be shipped...?] [Am I the only one who thinks it's okay to ship a love-hate relationship? I'll ship it a little!] [Shut up, everyone!]
[Eating everything will only make me nutritionally balanced, *burp*]
Lu Qian: ……
Although Lu Qian was curious this time, she didn't dare to click on the link to read the article's summary. Her motherland and her own country were right next to her!
Who wrote this? It's so outrageous!
She wanted to scroll up the video, but Zhu Qing'ai was faster; she reached out and clicked on the link.
Me and My Six Harems
Author: I, Qin Shi Huang, please send money.
Lu Qian raised her hand to cover her eyes; she couldn't bear to look. She suspected that the author was about to be invited to the police station for questioning.
She secretly parted her fingers a little, and through the gap, she could see...
[Introduction:]
In the year 1200 of the Qin calendar, I had just graduated from university. However, I never expected that my first job would not be as a human resources manager in a company, but rather...
I traveled back to ancient Qin and became part of the Qin state!
I have six neighbors: Zhao, who is dashing and has a blood feud with me but secretly loves me; and Yan, who is graceful and has a melodious voice and calls me "sister" sweetly.
There's also 'Chu' next door, who's a crazy, beautiful girl who can't live without me; 'Wei', who's shy and timid, and whose only act of courage is to confess to me; and 'Han', who's petite, cute, and proud but refuses to admit that she likes me.
Finally, there's Qi, who's gentle and dignified, and won't get jealous even if I'm intimate with my other wives.
Surrounded by them every day, which one should I choose?
"Surrounded by them every day, which one should I choose?" Zhu Qing'ai read the last sentence and smiled softly.
“Mother…” They’re really not like that, QAQ.
"Why such an expression? I find it quite amusing, but... if they saw it themselves, they might be disgusted."
They were all her alternate accounts. She put herself in those accounts for a moment, and felt that she might be so angry she'd come back to life.
Seeing that Lu Qian didn't do anything for a long time, Zhu Qing'ai took over herself and went back to the video. Fortunately, the streamer didn't analyze the situation in depth in order to promote the novel. As long as there was no conclusion that it was Qin, it couldn't be attributed to her under her pseudonym.
"Unsolved mystery five: We still do not know why the unpublished 'National Classic' was not published."
[I know that, because it's a cookbook. Even if you got your hands on one after it was published, you wouldn't be able to find a foreign national spirit to cook it right now.]
【Huh? I've seen the contents of that book at the Cloud Network Museum. Wasn't it about the customs and cultures of different countries?】
[You're not reading the original, are you? The original isn't about scenery; the content was inappropriate and it was banned at one point. Back then, owning a copy was a status symbol; ordinary people couldn't afford one.]
"I can't reveal this secret publicly, but you'll understand once you read the book below! 'A Bite of Six Countries'"
[I've read this one, it's alright. It's about someone who travels back to the Warring States period and becomes a cook. In the end, his cooking is so delicious that the First Emperor makes him a king of a different surname. Putting aside how incredible the process of making him a king is, the food descriptions in the book really do look delicious.]
[I understand. So the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a cookbook, similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the difference being that one eats beasts and the other eats countries... So the Classic of Mountains and Seas is also real?]
[If it's not recorded in history books, it's fake! National history should be written by our motherland. Can the affairs of 'Qin' be considered food? This was friendly assistance to the development of a foreign people.]
【666】【I am a person from the ancient Yan region, and I can attest to this. It's true; it's even recorded in the Yan Capital Museum.】
"Unsolved mystery six: We still do not know what the First Emperor and the Right Chancellor talked about that day."
"This would normally have been recorded by the historians, but the version that has been passed down is inexplicably missing the afternoon that the emperor and the prime minister spent together talking..."
"That must be a top secret!"
[Stop with the nonsense, let's get straight to the book recommendation!] [Good grief, are you not even going to follow the proper procedures? Wait a minute, I still want to know what the First Emperor and the Prime Minister discussed!]
[A history buff will tell you, that year the prime minister was nearly thirty and still unmarried. The First Emperor had already arranged for suitable wives for him from various families, but after that afternoon, the topic of marriage was never mentioned again. And so the prime minister remained single for the rest of his life. What do you think this tells you?]
[Did the Prime Minister confess his love to the First Emperor?] [Defying Heaven] [Defying Heaven] [Defying Heaven] xn
[Put the previous paragraph aside. No matter who comes today, I must say that the First Emperor truly loved the country. If I had to pinpoint a person, it would undoubtedly be the studious, ambitious, and hardworking Lady Chu, Chu Rong.]
Lu Qian was itching to know what this secret was. If it was simply about dedicating herself to the country and having no intention of starting a family, then there was no need to delete this part...
She secretly glanced at her motherland's expression, but Zhu Qing'ai had such a high level of expression control that if she didn't want anyone to notice, no amount of attention could change her mind.
Lu Qian also couldn't glean any clues from her mother's expression, and could only wait for the video to continue playing.
"This secret has been discussed by countless people, but since Motherland appeared yesterday, the most reasonable possibility has emerged!"
"The secrets are all in 'Traveling Back to Ancient Qin, Telling the First Emperor About the Alien Invasion Thousands of Years Later, Motherland Immediately Declares That They Must Be Annihilated' by Xin Qin Publishing House Retro Printing Press."
[The book I opened yesterday afternoon already has 100,000 words! What level is that?!][No wonder only this author had their pen name specifically mentioned by the main editor, amazing!]
[We're not using old-fashioned keyboards to type anymore; we're using brainwaves to connect to the cloud. Typing 100,000 words a day isn't difficult, is it?]
[You make it sound nice, but try focusing your thoughts for a second.]
Anchor: "Such a secret will certainly not be recorded in history books, Taihe Li La!"
Lu Qian thought this was impossible, but Zhu Qing'ai, in order to protect her host's reputation, nodded and said, "This explanation is indeed very reasonable. I'll bookmark it and see how well I write it later."
Lu Qian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mother, so did this really happen that day? Was your intervention prepared in advance?"
"No, that's not it... It's just that Taishu's words of refusal were too blunt. If they were recorded, they would be used against him."
Zhu Qing'ai spoke ambiguously, thus preserving her host's reputation once again.
"Unsolved Mystery Seven: How did the Quanrong leader come up with the idea of claiming he was a skilled singer and dancer?"
"I won't waste any more time this time, I'll just recommend a book: 'The Beginning Features the Quanrong Leader Performing a Dance for the National Spirit, and the Whole Country Is in an Uproar'"
[Fine, fine, you're not even going to pretend anymore, huh?] [Although, I still want to say, their totem is a white wolf, not a dog.]
[A descendant of the Quanrong has appeared!] [I already said it's a wolf!] [The husky is quite cute, bro, don't be too sad!] [It's not cute when it's destroying the house (whispering).]
"No more formalities, just book recommendations! 'Starting by Receiving the American Mission, Then Unifying the World,' 'Transmigrating into the Last Emperor, I Directly Abdicated and Revolted,' and 'Transmigrating into the Zhou Emperor, I No Longer Make Empty Promises, and the King of Qin Wept in Tears' (full title: 'Transmigrating into the Zhou Emperor, I No Longer Make Empty Promises, and the King of Qin Was Moved into Silence, and the Qin Kingdom Wept Silently'), links below."
In response, Zhu Qing'ai commented, "Hmm...that's quite an idea..."
Motherland, those old Qin people really aren't that crazy. She said she's tired, sob sob sob.
Lu Qian: Cosmic Cat's Ascension (jpg)
She dared not disturb her motherland's reading. Although she hesitated to speak, she remained silent and started watching her regular class videos to catch up on her lessons. On the surface, the atmosphere seemed incredibly warm and cozy.
****
The next day at school, Lu Qian greeted Liu Xiao and suddenly remembered the video she had watched the day before, and complained to Liu Xiao about it.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Xiao said, "This is nothing, just a typical wild idea. There are even more outrageous ones on Yunwang and Jinjiang."
Lu Qian: I'm the one who's so ignorant and ill-informed.
She murmured, "So there are so many? No wonder Mother seemed unsurprised..."
Liu Xiao excitedly grabbed Lu Qian: "What? You saw your mother?"
"Keep your voice down!" Lu Qian looked around and found that people just gave them strange looks and didn't say anything else. It was worth getting up early to put on makeup. "Are you trying to get me into trouble? I saw on the post that some people were so envious that they wanted to meet me in person!"
Liu Xiao coughed twice: "Oh dear, I was just too excited. I'll be more careful next time, I'll definitely be more careful next time."
"But what you just said means that Mother also watched this video?" Liu Xiao rubbed her hands excitedly. "What did Mother say?"
"It's nothing unusual... Actually, I think my mother is quite engrossed in that novel about the harem of warring states during the Warring States period..."
"Doesn't she think that the mental state of young people these days is worrying?" Lu Qian, this ignorant time traveler, asked a profound question.
Liu Xiao stroked his chin, deep in thought: "Qianqian, do you think there are a billion possibilities...?"
“My mother herself had close ties with the Qin people, and her mental state might also be connected to them, so…”
"Stop! Xiaoxiao, don't scare me!"
