339、The splendor of the sunset

"What did I lie to you?" Qingchen lay quietly on the recliner, without any violent mood swings.

Qingchen didn't admit anything, so who knew if the other party was deceiving him.

"I know you are a time traveler," Li Changqing said.

Qingchen started to pretend to be dead and said nothing.

"I also know that you saved me at Jin Mao Tower," Li Changqing said.

Qingchen started to pretend to be dead and said nothing.

"Okay, stop pretending," Li Changqing's smile became even stronger. She sat on the stone table next to him and looked down at the young man's profile with interest: "The sniper who saved me must be you, two days ago

I suddenly got busy and didn't bother to come back and ask you. You have to explain it clearly to me tonight."

"It's not me, it's the boss of our organization," Qingchen explained seriously.

This time, it is tantamount to admitting his identity as a time traveler in disguise, but this cannot be concealed.

However, he still wants to struggle with the identity of Bai Rong's boss and Bai Rong's employee...

But I heard Li Changqing say slowly: "If the sniper on top of the Jin Mao Tower just shot and killed the opponent's sniper, then I'm not sure it was you. After all, you can just ask someone else to do this.

"

At this time, Li Changqing changed the topic and looked at Qingchen with piercing eyes: "But that sniper did not move away even after killing other snipers. He was even willing to risk his life and continue to fire blank rifles to shock the battlefield for me. From that moment on

I'm sure it's you."

Qingchen sighed: "It's really not me."

"Stop struggling, even if it's really not you, I'll assume it's you," Li Changqing said: "In addition, I heard from Time Walker that the sniper from the outside world is very mysterious and is your boss. But I looked carefully

Think about it, who is qualified to be your boss? You are not the kind of person who would like to be subordinate to others. Don’t worry, I won’t tell others."

Qingchen sighed: "How many secrets are leaked after this kind of promise."

However, Li Changqing became serious: "I am serious. Regardless of our friendship, you are already my savior. I, Li Changqing, will not joke about this kind of thing."

Today, the woman no longer wore the punk-style leather jacket, but instead wore a formal suit, with her hair neatly tied back.

Qingchen suddenly felt that when this woman put on formal clothes, she had a strange aura that was very powerful.

Qingchen was curious: "Logically speaking, if you want to know that I am a time traveler, you should have known it a long time ago. Why do you know it now?"

Li Changqing thought for a while and said: "In the past, 99% of the time walkers were in the hands of Li Yunyi. Now he has handed over all the power to me, so I know a lot of things, including what happened to you in the outer world this time.

.”

I see.

The division of labor within the consortium is clear, everyone has their own affairs, and information may not be exchanged.

But things are different now. Li Yunyi has resigned, and the intelligence power of the Li family is entirely in the hands of Li Changqing. Moreover, Bai Bai has played a role in the battle again this time. If the time walker knows about it, he will definitely report the sniper incident to Li Changqing.

This is how Li Changqing knew Qingchen's identity as a time traveler.

Qingchen suddenly asked: "Are the people who caused trouble in the island country and Korea on behalf of the world your people?"

Although he guessed it, he still had to confirm it.

"Yes," Li Changqing nodded: "This is one of the most important plans of the Li family in the near future. It was proposed by the old man, led by Li Yunshou, and executed by Li Yunyi. The Qing family also produced some time walkers, but the main force is still the Li family. This interview

In the federal civil war, the Li family and the Qing family will be allies."

"Only part of the Qing family came out?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"Yes, they have been maintaining their strength, and they don't know what their plans are," Li Changqing said: "But this is not important. Solving the hidden dangers in Jindai and Kashima is important."

"Is Li's time traveler going to complete the replacement plan?" Qingchen asked curiously: "Did it succeed?"

"Of course it was successful, but I can't tell you the specific details," Li Changqing said with a smile: "I want to thank you very much this time. According to my subordinates, in the reverse travel plan that Jiuzhou blocked this time, there were also people from all over the world who were the substitutes.

Me, so you saved me twice, how should I repay you?"

Qingchen glanced at the other party: "1 or 2 times, I just helped a little this time, mainly thanks to Kyushu."

"1.2 times..." Li Changqing pouted: "You are quite rigorous."

At this time, Qingchen felt something was wrong: "Since the old man wants to seize Li Yunyi's power, why would he leave such an important matter to him? So, this is also staged?"

"This is the secret of the Li family. Although you are qualified to attend the conference table, the affairs of the members of the Li family are kept secret. They are only reported to the head of the family and the Privy Council, and cannot communicate with each other," Li Changqing said.

This answer itself is a yes.

Li Changqing also suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Don't try to change the subject. I have one more thing to ask you. Are you really a genetic warrior? Or did you switch the genetic medicine last time and actually use normal saline?"

Qingchen was shocked.

The reason why he pretended to be dead before was because he was worried that the other party would bring up this topic.

If this is exposed, then it’s not pretending to be dead, it’s social death!

You know, he pretended to endure the pain for five hours, and the other party saw it all.

Qingchen said calmly: "Since you have a time walker under your command, you should know that the time walker can only hide things in his body and carry them away."

"Oh, that's true," Li Changqing nodded: "But what if you are a time walker, and you can't tell the difference between time travel and return. Other time walkers can't do that. So many incredible things happen in

It’s already on you, it doesn’t matter if you have one more.”

Qingchen pondered how to explain it.

Social death should be avoided if it can be avoided.

It's like he is asking Yi to send messages to him in the Baidu group in the outside world.

Qingchen lied and said that it actually didn't matter whether everyone knew that he was the boss, but in fact, if everyone really knew, they would recall his actions in which he played two roles...

Therefore, Qingchen still paid Yi a price of one hundred yuan.

Just when Qingchen was trying his best to clear away the suspicion, Lao Jiu's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Boss, the old man is critically ill. The Privy Council asked you to go to Baopu Building as soon as possible, and Qingchen also has to go.

.”

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment and hurriedly walked out.

At this moment, nothing is as important as this.

The three of them got into the vehicle at the door. Xiaoying drove. Old Nineteen sat in the passenger seat and turned around and said, "It seems a little different this time. Even many members of the third generation of the Li family have received notices from the Privy Council. In the past, there was no such thing."

Those who cause trouble should inform the second generation at most."

Li Changqing seemed to be in a low mood: "This time it seems to be true. What he wanted to do has been done. This civil war between Jindai and Kashima is doomed to fail. He can rest easy."

Qingchen sat calmly in the car and looked out the window, recalling the lonely figure sitting on the broken bridge fishing, and recalling the smile when the other party handed the arowana to him for the first time.

It was obvious that we only got along briefly, and we had known each other for less than a month, but it seemed as if we had known each other for a long time.

Qingchen's grandfather in the outside world is still alive. He also has two uncles and two aunts. His grandfather was very good to him when he was a child, but later he suffered a stroke and became a vegetative state. Qing Guozhong borrowed money from all his brothers and sisters.

So there was no contact between them.

Nowadays, the old man is actually like Qingchen's grandfather, he has given him a lot, and he also tries to use the afterglow of his life to teach Qingchen some principles.

It's just that the other party doesn't have time.

Qingchen suddenly felt that this chilling winter seemed to be a bit colder.

When we arrived at Baopu Building, the middle-aged man who had handed Qingchen the quasi-prescription method before was standing at the door with an expressionless face. There was a middle-aged woman beside him.

One of the two searched for men, and the other searched for women. Everyone who entered Baopu Building had to go through a body search, and those with mechanical limbs had to be dismantled before they could enter Baopu Building.

Baopu Building is very big, but when Qingchen and Li Changqing arrived, it was already full of people.

"Who are the middle-aged men and women at the door just now?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"The woman is the one who takes care of the old man's daily life, and the man is the master who has protected the old man for many years. His name is Li Yunjing," Li Changqing said, "I don't know what his real name is. Li Yunjing was the name given to him by the old man and included in the family trust."

The list of beneficiaries belongs to the Li family."

"What level?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"I don't know either," Li Changqing shook his head: "I can't tell the difference."

Baopu Building is a square building in the shape of "Hui", which is a typical patio-style building.

There is a hollow in the middle of the building, and you can still see the sky when you look up.

The ground is made of bluestone. If it rains, the rainwater will fall along the eaves and form a curtain of water in Baopu Building.

Everyone stood in the open space in the middle of Baopu Building. Some looked solemn, some covered their faces and cried, and some leaned against the pillars wondering what they were thinking.

Li Tongyun and Li Yinuo are also there.

At this time, Li Yunshou walked out of a room on the second floor and looked downstairs: "Changqing, the old man is calling you."

Li Changqing glanced at Qingchen: "I'll go up first, see you later."

Qingchen, an outsider, stood alone in the courtyard, surrounded by members of the Li family. Someone looked at him curiously, thinking that this was the new teacher from the martial arts hall, right?

Could it be that the old man wanted to talk to him before he died?

Qingchen didn't care about others. He found a chair to sit down and waited quietly.

After a while, Li Changqing also walked out of the room on the second floor. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Li Yunshou said: "Li Tongyun, your grandfather called you to come up."

Everyone around was stunned for a moment. At this time, even the second generation of the Li family, there were many people who were not qualified to enter Baopu Building, but they did not expect that Li Tongyun went in first.

The little girl walked upstairs obediently, and when she entered the room, she saw the old man lying weakly on the bed.

Her eyes turned red, and big tears fell down.

This cry was sincere. Apart from Li Yinuo, the old man was the best to her since time travel.

The old man backed away from the others and smiled weakly: "Xiao Tongyun, come to Grandpa's side."

"Well," Li Tongyun walked over obediently and put his little hand into the old man's cold hand.

The old man said: "During this period, you have been helping the woman named Jiang Xue, right?"

Xiao Tongyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Why do you want to help her?" the old man said.

"Because she is my mother," Xiao Tongyun said honestly.

"When did you know she was your mother's," the old man asked.

"Not long ago."

The old man looked at the ceiling and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Tongyun, your mother was just a servant of the Li family at first, but your father fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her, but the rules of the Li family cannot be broken, otherwise other Servants can also have their own ideas, so I had no choice but to drive her out."

Mother and daughter in the outer world, the genetic relationship in the inner world is naturally mother and daughter.

Li Tongyun seemed to be telling the truth just now, but in fact she thought of this. Although she was not sure what the truth was, Jiang Xue must be her mother in the other world, and there was nothing wrong with this.

Now she knows that it turned out to be a story about a servant and his master falling in love, but in the end the two failed to break through class.

This is a world with solidified classes. Although Qingchen feels kind to the old man, he actually cannot escape the shackles of this era.

What only a saint can do, an old man cannot do.

Perhaps this is why Li Shutong was so eager to change the world.

The old man sighed: "At first I thought I had done nothing wrong, but it wasn't until your father died of depression that I realized I was wrong. This is one of the things I regret most in my life."

Logically speaking, Jiang Xue herself should know about this matter.

But the old man probably didn't expect Jiang Xue to become a time walker, so neither mother nor daughter knew about it, they were just two fools.

Fortunately, Xiao Tongyun was smart and didn't miss anything.

The old man explained some of the parents' quarrels, and then asked Xiao Tongyun to call everyone in.

Members of the second generation of the Li family entered the room one after another and stood silently beside the bed.

The old man thought for a while and said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope that you brothers and sisters can be as harmonious as now in the future. I have not done much for the Li family in my life. The only thing worthy of praise is , I didn’t turn your brothers and sisters into enemies.”

In fact, the old man was humble.

Everyone will be tempted when faced with power. He was able to make everyone recognize Li Yunshou's status before leaving, and there was no sign of rebellion.

This in itself is a very remarkable thing and requires great wisdom.

Outsiders thought that Li's transfer of power would cause chaos, but in fact the transfer of power was extremely smooth, and he was already ready for war with the outside world.

At this time, the old man's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally his voice disappeared, as if he had fallen asleep.

The next moment, when many people thought he had died, the old man opened his eyes again and smiled weakly: "I'm just kidding you, I just want to see who is not crying."

Everyone was stunned. Li Yunshou was silent for a moment and then said: "Dad, your electrocardiogram is still fluctuating. You are pretending not to be."

"Really?" The old man was also stunned, and finally he smiled and said, "I'm getting old, and my acting skills are no longer good."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

The electrocardiogram completely calmed down and there were no more disturbances.

Everyone in the room started crying, even Li Yunshou, who was always as calm as a lake, was no exception.

The people downstairs heard the crying upstairs and started crying too.

Qingchen stood in the hustle and bustle, feeling that everything was illusory.

From late at night to dawn, the people in Baopu Building finally dispersed.

But Qingchen didn't leave, he kept waiting.

When Li Yunjing and Li Yunshou sent away the last member of the Li family and determined the date of funeral and burial, Baopu Tower completely returned to peace.

Li Yunshou glanced at Qingchen: "I'm leaving too. In one hour, the Li family and the Qing family will go to war with Jindai and Kashima. There are still many things to deal with. The rest of the things here will be left to you."

Qingchen nodded silently.

Li Yunshou, who was middle-aged, was silent for a moment and said: "Although I don't know why dad trusts you so much, I hope you won't let him down."

"No," Qingchen said.

"Okay," Li Yunshou nodded: "When we meet again someday, I, Li Yunshou, owe you a favor. Mrs. Li will be your forever friend."

"It sounds like I won't come back," Qingchen said with a smile.

After speaking, Li Yunshou nodded to Li Yunshou, then turned and walked into the dawn.

The sky is getting brighter.

At this time, the old man slowly walked out of the house: "Is everyone gone?"

Qingchen looked at the old man and smiled and said, "You're a little too big this time, aren't you?"

The old man smiled and said: "I have never been willful in my life. I have to take care of this and who else every day. Even if I go out to play, I can only stay out for one night. The top girl I like is not willing to wait for someone like me who is easy to let go.

What about the old man...ah, I let it slip."

Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let me teach you the accurate method? It only takes a week to extend your life by 21 years."

The old man waved his hand: "I have lived enough... Do you know why the sunset is so gorgeous?"

Qingchen thought for a while and replied: "Because of the refraction of the atmosphere..."

"Stop it, it's boring," the old man sighed: "The afterglow of the sunset and the gorgeous clouds are because they are short-lived. If you can see that kind of scenery every minute, you won't feel beautiful anymore. The reason why people have so many things in this life

The weight is because it is limited. People have the most regrets only if they fulfill their wishes in the last period of time."

Qingchen nodded, and then led the disguised old man through the silent Mid-Levels Manor and back to the Qiuye Villa.

Li Yunjing escorted the two of them here, then knelt down and bowed deeply to the old man.

The old man touched his head: "Yun Jing, when you grow up, go outside and find your own freedom."

Li Yunjing burst into tears.

The old man was no longer nostalgic. He took a deep look at the mountainside manor behind him and walked into the Qiuye Villa.

At this time, Li Ke was already waiting inside.

The 14-year-old boy looked at the old man and the teacher in shock: "Grandpa...are you not dead?"

After saying that, Li Ke turned to look at Qingchen: "Sir, what are we doing?"

Qingchen smiled and said: "Go to Forbidden Place No. 002. Your grandpa wants to go there to see the big trees and the rising sun."

This is the agreement the old man made with Qingchen a few days ago.
