Chapter 283 A Bloody Misunderstanding
Chapter 283 A Bloody Misunderstanding
A year later, Chu Wen's internal troubles had been resolved, and the only remaining problem was the external threat of being surrounded.
The cold weather arrived as expected, and the heavy snow froze many livestock to death.
Fortunately, Wen Jiu had ordered the excavation of an underground palace in advance. Grain was collected from every county town, and meals were served daily. During the winter, most of Chu Wen's people lived underground, and even the cattle and sheep were driven underground.
By the next year, Chu Wen had planted grain on a large scale.
Although there will still be wind, snow and hail after the spring, the crops in the fields are no longer afraid. The straw huts have been prepared in the spring, and many mountains have been cut down.
But when summer came, the huts had been removed and stored in warehouses.
The food from the divine realm grew well and strong, and the yield remained unchanged.
Grass seeds were scattered among the deforested mountains and forests, and within four or five months they grew lushly. This provided ample food for the skinny cattle, sheep, and horses, and within two months they became plump and strong.
Wen Jiu mounted his warhorse and glanced at his old father and the people in mourning behind him. He said, "Yu Dan has gone too far. I will go and avenge the Queen!"
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It was really hard not to laugh at such a ridiculous declaration of war.
"Your Highness, you are the crown prince. You must take good care of yourself." Wen Jiu said, then looked at his subordinates behind him. "The Mingjian Bureau was established for the people of the world. After I leave, you must uphold the reputation of the Mingjian Bureau! Monitor all officials!"
"I will wait for your safe return." Emperor Gao Wen looked at Wen Jiu and said with deep emotion, "Yu Dan forced the Queen to death. I want you to avenge my shame!"
The queen was just a poor innocent person. She sacrificed her life to save her family and became a victim of this conspiracy.
The Crown Prince often sighed recently that Wen Jiu and his father were really cut from the same cloth, and their cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness were so similar.
Now, after a long period of leisure, the fourteen-year-old prince suddenly felt that it was actually quite good not to have to bear so many responsibilities. It was also good for him to be a prince in name only. He no longer had to get up before dawn, and no longer had to memorize so many obscure and difficult documents but pretend that he understood them well to deal with his father, the emperor. It was quite good.
However, the internal troubles have been resolved, and now the war has come to the first step for Chu Wen to attack.
"Your Majesty, I will live up to your expectations!" After saying this, Wen Jiu turned around and left, taking the 50,000 people gathered outside the city with him.
Wen Jiu was not worried about what Emperor Gao Wen would do. After all, he could feel that Emperor Gao Wen wanted to fight more urgently than he did.
Wen Jiu had a sneer on his lips. He had dealt with most of the officials in the capital. If the remaining people were smart, they would not make any small moves and would follow him in the right direction.
Half of the current officials were promoted by him personally. He has the support of officials and dignitaries, and now he should take control of the army.
So let’s start with the unprecedented experience of fighting a war, hoping that the strategies learned in military books can be practical.
There are sufficient weapons, food, and men.
Yudan, which is rich in mineral resources, is the first country he wants to attack.

For more than ten days, Qiao Shinian has been avoiding the time point of crossing, and he almost developed a new biological clock.
She has been living in a daze these days. Before a new biological clock is formed, she needs to erase her old habits.
"Xiaobai, I'm sure there should be another person between us."
That day, Qiao Shinian looked at Mo Feibai seriously.
Mo Feibai said seriously, "According to what you just said, there is indeed another person between us. When this hotel first opened, I had almost no time to take care of you, so the person who has always been by your side in your memory is definitely not me."
On the side, Ruan Chengyu sat quietly on the sofa and listened to the two people's discussion.
Two hours later, Qiao Shinian leaned back and looked at the time: "It's time, five minutes past six, I should go to bed, and you must wake me up before eleven fifty.
Tonight, bring your schoolmates and let's go to the bar and have some fun!"
Mo Feibai blushed and hesitated for a while before saying, "My schoolmate and I haven't confirmed our relationship yet. Yoyo, you have to help me."
"Don't worry!" Qiao Shinian patted Mo Feibai's shoulder. "I've been free lately. I've combined ancient and modern confession techniques and will teach them all to you tomorrow."
Mo Feibai coughed lightly. "Hey, it's not that I don't believe you. The main thing is, um... have you noticed that you're actually... a little behind?"
Mo Feibai simply couldn't bear to look at Qiao Shinian's way of thinking in recent days. It was almost the same as that of an old antique.
He really wanted to say to Qiao Shinian when he said something or expressed some opinion, "The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years. Where did you, an old antique, come from?"
"Nonsense!" Qiao Shinian rolled his eyes. "I, Qiao Shinian, have lived in ancient times for ten years. How can I not be an antique?"
"Yoyo, I think we should just be patient and not travel through time. Wait until you've adjusted to your modern identity and then go back occasionally." Mo Feibai said seriously, "Yoyo, I'm really worried about you. In the first few days, you were in very bad condition, and I was a little scared of you.
When I see your eyes, I feel like you've been possessed or possessed by someone else."
Qiao Shinian shrugged nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm just adjusting now, right? Okay, see you in the lobby on the first floor at 12 o'clock tonight!"
After saying that, she stood up, pulled Mo Feibai, and pushed him out of the room. Then she turned to look at Ruan Chengyu, who was sitting motionless on the sofa. "Actually, you don't have to follow me. I'm fine. Your mission ended long ago after you told me, didn't you?"
Ruan Chengyu looked at Qiao Shinian, a look of worry on his face that looked exactly like Mu Qingchen's. "Can you really adjust?"
"Yes, actually, I don't plan to go back." Qiao Shinian said calmly, "I did what I wanted to do. The rest is their own business. I did what an enlightener should do. I feel that I haven't done enough, that I'm too utilitarian, but I also think there's a saying that's true: 'Judging by deeds, not by heart, no one is perfect.'"
"You..." Ruan Chengyu hesitated to speak.
"Sometimes, I wonder, is there an absolute future in this world? Is what you see truly my future, or Wen Jiu's future? So, why not do an experiment? If I don't travel through time again, then is what you see real or just a dream?"
Qiao Shinian said this with a smile and made a 'please' gesture.
After seeing off the guests, Qiao Shinian lay on the bed, staring at the dim light with deep eyes.
She knew that she couldn't adjust in a short time, so when talking to Xiaobai, she tried hard to imitate her former self.
Occasionally when she spoke, she would be dazed. It turned out that she was like this in the past.
·
The original three-person gathering at the bar became just two people. Mo Feibai's expression suddenly changed after he received a phone call. He left in a hurry after saying, "Yo Yo, help me send Qingyu home."
Facing the dejected Yu Qingyu, Qiao Shinian wanted to say something to lighten the mood: "Yu Xuemei, how far have you and Xiaobai progressed?"
Yu Qingyu came back to her senses. Facing Qiao Shinian's question, she just twitched the corners of her mouth and said seriously, "Senior, Senior Mo and I are just ordinary friends. We don't have any other feelings."
"Ok?"
In fact, Qiao Shinian began to regret after asking the question. He asked the wrong question and shouldn't have said that.
But when she heard Yu Qingyu's words, she was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that Bai hasn't been trying hard to pursue his beloved junior high school girl these days?
"Um... Xiaobai likes you, did you know?" Qiao Shinian asked tentatively.
"Yeah, I know. But senior and I are not suitable." Yu Qingyu looked up at Qiao Shinian and said, "He may like me, but he cares about you more. He would choose you between me and you. Maybe he himself has never realized that he cares about you more. So, senior sister, I will not like him."
Qiao Shinian was bewildered, but he keenly sensed that the girl in front of him was speaking insincerely: "Perhaps you don't know that Xiaobai and I are half-siblings... Junior sister, you misunderstood."
So bloody!
The plots of novels he had read in the past emerged in Qiao Shinian's mind, and the thought of this made the story even more outrageous.
The lights in the booth were dim, and Yu Qingyu's face showed a trace of sadness and resentment. She clenched her wine glass and said, "Senior, do you know why I went abroad as an exchange student half a year ago?"
Qiao Shinian twitched his lips. "Originally, I thought our junior sister was so good that she won the exchange student qualification. But judging by what you've said now, I don't think you were attracted to Xiaobai back then, and then misunderstood our relationship, so you left in sadness, right?"
Yu Qingyu nodded, picked up her wine glass and took a sip. "Senior, I also liked Senior at the beginning. I thought about competing with you, but when I saw that you just sprained your ankle and he treated you like that, I knew I lost.
Senior sister, he just didn’t know that the person he loves in his heart is actually you…” Yu Qingyu couldn’t continue.
Qiao Shinian took out a tissue and handed it to the junior high school girl in front of him, his expression speechless: "Do you think I like Xiaobai too, but I stay by his side in the name of brotherhood?"
Yu Qingyu didn't say anything, but just took the tissue and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself... In the past six months, I have let go of my senior. I wish you happiness."
"Stop!" Qiao Shinian stretched out his hand. "Let me explain. I don't like Xiaobai, and Xiaobai doesn't like me. We're simply family. Besides, Xiaobai is very shy and silent in front of you, and he's very proud, so we only laugh at him secretly behind Xiaobai's back.
Finally, I'm not a brother bitch! I don't know if Xiaobai has told you about his family, but I want to tell you that Xiaobai and I have lived together almost since we were young. He doesn't often go home, so my home is his other home. So he and I are not blood siblings.
Yu Qingyu watched Qiao Shinian explain to her seriously. She lowered her head and whispered, "But...but he's always there for you. Even after I came back, he still texted and called you frequently when he was with me."
"Well... this is because I, your senior, have recently encountered some life-threatening situations. Besides my parents, Xiaobai is the only one who can help me.
He installed my heart rate monitoring ring on his phone. If his phone rings, it means he needs to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital immediately, and then he will go to the hospital to sign my critical care surgery form.
"Ah?" Yu Qingyu looked up. She didn't actually intend to believe what Qiao Shinian said, but this explanation surprised her.
The reason why her feelings for Mo Feibai gradually faded from love at first sight was that she had seen Mo Feibai's pampering and care for Qiao Shinian. She saw Mo Feibai carrying Qiao Shinian, who had sprained his ankle, to and from classes, and watched Mo Feibai carrying Qiao Shinian out of the school gate.
She heard a hint of helplessness in Mo Feibai's reproachful tone, and she was deeply shocked at the time.
"It's true." Qiao Shinian nodded, then looked at Yu Qingyu apologetically: "I'm sorry, junior sister, I didn't know that this was the reason why you two separated. If you hadn't left... I'm sorry, I didn't know how to behave at the time and didn't take your feelings into consideration.
From today on, I promise that I will never behave in such a tactless manner again. Xiaobai really likes you, but he and I grew up together, so we are very familiar with each other, so familiar that I have no gender in his eyes.
If you observe carefully, you will find that whenever you have any physical contact with him, he will become nervous and tremble, his ears will turn red, and his answers will become stuttering or irrelevant.
He wants to show a perfect image in front of you, so he may be a little reluctant to get close to you.
You were abroad for more than half a year, and he secretly visited you four times."
Qiao Shinian pleaded, "Don't give up on Xiaobai yet. If you don't like the relationship between him and me, wait until this special time is over. I promise that I will never have too much contact with Xiaobai again, and I will never push him around again."
"Senior..." Yu Qingyu looked up at her, "Are you sure...Mo Feibai likes me?"
"Of course! I'm very sure." Qiao Shinian nodded. She actually didn't expect that the two broke up because of this reason. At that time, she only knew that Mo Feibai and the junior girl were in an ambiguous period, and then the junior girl suddenly went abroad as an exchange student.
Xiaobai was sad for a long time at that time. She comforted Xiaobai and said that the junior was so outstanding and they should be happy for her. The junior didn't tell them because she was afraid that she would be reluctant to go abroad after telling them.
Therefore, they can't be a stumbling block to the schoolgirl, but let the schoolgirl be their big tree, and can't give up their studies and careers for love. Although the schoolgirl went abroad, it's not to an alien planet, Xiaobai can also go abroad to see the schoolgirl.
Of course, daily greetings and care are essential. At the beginning, this newbie must send messages every day, and ask the junior schoolmate abroad if she is used to it. Then, after a while, send messages every three or four days. After all, the junior schoolmate is studying abroad, and you cannot disturb her too much.
"Xiaobai messaged you every day for the first month after you left the country. Didn't you see it? If he didn't like you, why would he message you every day?" Qiao Shinian continued, holding his forehead with his hand. "I'm so sorry. I've become a stumbling block in your relationship."
Yu Qingyu also lowered her head and whispered, "I'm so sad. I changed my contact information before going abroad, and my previous phone card and contact information have never been logged in."
"What about Xiaobai coming to see you?" Qiao Shinian found it unbelievable.
Yu Qingyu looked up blankly: "I haven't seen him."
"Fuck!" Qiao Shinian looked up and covered his face with his hands.
How ridiculous!
"My dear junior, that phone card and the previous social software account are still in your hands, right?" Qiao Shinian almost shot up to Yu Qingyu and squeezed her arm tightly.
"Yes." Yu Qingyu was frightened and nodded timidly.
"Then I'll take you home now! You must log into your old social account immediately tonight to see the message Xiaobai sent you!" Qiao Shinian picked up the bag and was about to pull Yu Qingyu out.
Yu Qingyu struggled for a few seconds and said, "I can take a taxi back by myself."
"Xiaobai asked me to send you back, so I will send you back! Let's go, just think of it as the care of the senior sister for the junior sister." Qiao Shinian smiled and patted Yu Qingyu's shoulder.
At this time, the lights began to flicker, the music began to change, and after a series of blasts, pieces of paper flew all over the sky.
"This is..." Qiao Shinian looked at the time. Oh, it was time to go clubbing again.
Men and women stood up from their booths and walked towards the middle dance floor.
