Even though he knew that this was Fang Chang's provocation, Cheng Kai was still angry.
He really wanted Fang Chang to go to Chang'an City to pick something up.
He knew that with Fang Chang's ability, it would not be easy to provoke someone.
When Fang Chang couldn't solve it, he would make a grand appearance to clean up Fang Chang's mess, and let him see what it means to be simple in the emperor's heart!
But in the end Cheng Kai endured it.
His friendship with Her Majesty the Queen cannot be considered serious or trivial. After all, ten years of companionship can only be regarded as a short part of the long years of a practitioner.
It can be said that one point is used and one point is lost.
Especially when he had some guesses about Her Majesty the Queen's true identity, he didn't want to waste this affection on fighting with Fang Chang.
Now he is the ancestor of the Cheng family and Dongdong's grandfather.
When Fang Chang is unlucky in the future, he will have to use this affection to gain him a favor.
As for why he fell from a position of real power to a noble and unorganized official with no rank, it was naturally because he voluntarily abdicated the throne to make way for others.
In the past, Jindan could occupy the backbone of Chang'an, and the Nascent Soul realm was the hidden boss, controlling the situation in the capital.
But since the birth of Her Majesty the Queen, another world has provided her with talent resources.
Originally, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to use political means to suppress His Majesty. After all, the Tang Dynasty was vast and could not be managed by one person. This was not something that could only be accomplished by a high level of cultivation.
The reason why people who are high up above can stay high up above without stepping on the dust is just because of the countless living beings below who are driven by them.
Therefore, those at the top occasionally need to consider the will of the bottom.
However, this idea was only realized for a short time.
In the early stage, he, the crown prince, killed all the remnants of his party in Tiance Mansion and used violent and bloody methods to clear away all discordant voices for His Majesty.
After the changes in the sky, His Majesty opened up a world and had the support of talents with resources from one world.
They are all human beings who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. When it comes to government affairs and military force, they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The Dukes of Gungun who are able to stand in the court today started with a Nascent Soul cultivation level. If their cultivation level is low, they may not be able to withstand even a look from others.
How could such an official have the qualifications to stand in the court and have a verbal spat with others?
He is also included.
Tiance Mansion was once a violent institution left over from the founder of the country, but Her Majesty the Queen obviously has her own organizational structure, and the two have many overlapping powers.
Therefore, in order not to make things difficult for His Majesty, he asked to merge with Tiance Mansion and resigned from the post of Chief Historian.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not forget him, and specially sent him to the Splendid Realm, and piled up all kinds of resources as if they were free of charge.
But after all, his potential is limited. Thousands of years have passed before he can break through to the state of becoming a god.
He didn't want to waste time in the Splendid World, so he asked for orders to return.
After returning to the court, the Queen promoted him to the rank of Guanglu Doctor.
Everyone in the court knew that he and His Majesty had a relationship when they were young, and now they went to the palace from time to time to play chess and drink tea with His Majesty, and most of them were willing to give him face.
However, Cheng Kai did not confide all these words to Fang Chang.
After all, his relationship with Fang Chang hasn't reached this point yet.
If it weren't for the fact that Fang Chang was the only husband of his remaining granddaughter, he would have suppressed him in a minute.
So he picked out some unimportant things and said them.
"...All in all, I still have some respect in this huge city of Chang'an, but you kid, please don't cause any trouble for me.
For Wanqing's sake, I'll help you with the little things, but you can handle the big things yourself.
If you die, I will ask Your Majesty to send me to retrieve Wanqing.
With my current status, I won’t marry Wanqing to a prince, but it’s not difficult to find a suitable husband.”
Now it was Fang Chang's turn to be speechless.
The emotional old man is looking forward to his death.
When I went to Beijing alone, I spoke so righteously and trusted him, as if an old man was trusting me.
Now that I have gained my identity, I start to dislike him again.
Sure enough, men are fickle.
The old man is no exception.
So Fang Chang quickly ignored the topic and gave up this lose-lose approach.
"Ahem, um...grandpa, grandson-in-law still has a question."
Fang Chang's attitude became respectful.
Seeing Fang Chang's change of expression, Cheng Kai was very satisfied.
"Just ask."
"Grandpa, you just said that you have lived in the Splendid World for a thousand years. It stands to reason that a thousand years is enough for you to integrate into that world ten or eight times. Why are you willing to come back?"
This is also what Fang Chang is worried about.
Time is the most elusive thing.
He and Li Hu are both under half a hundred years old, and they are regarded as newbies among practitioners. If they stayed in another world for a hundred years or even longer.
Then it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will still remember the current people and things.
This remembering does not refer to memory, but a sense of identity.
It's just like the close classmates in elementary school who were so close that they had to cut off the chicken heads and burn the yellow paper to become sworn friends.
We hadn’t seen each other for ten years. We met again after returning from college. After exchanging names, there was only an awkward nod.
Cheng Kai has been here for a thousand years, but in his eyes, his granddaughter, whom he has been with for more than ten years, seems to be more important.
One thousand years is enough time for one hundred and eight generations.
Hearing this, Cheng Kai showed a look of satisfaction.
"It seems that you are not useless and can still consider this issue."
Fang Chang: "..."
Forget it, don't argue with the old man.
Cheng Kai's eyes flashed with memories, and he muttered for a moment before saying:
"Have you ever seen illusions? The kind of illusions that are fake and real."
Fang Chang made a listening position.
Cheng Kai continued: "When you enter the Splendid World, it's like going to an illusionary world. You are you, but you are not you. Everything there is real but also fake.
There you will gain another identity. After experiencing thousands of years in the Splendid World, sometimes I even forget my own identity.
Until I successfully broke through to the state of becoming a god, those dusty memories came flooding back. On the contrary, thousands of years of practice seemed particularly weak in front of those real and heavy memories.
As the saying goes, whoever wakes up first from a big dream will know who I am today.
After I understood my identity, everything in the Splendid World became like floating clouds to me.
Now that I think about it, I can hardly remember what happened to me in the Splendid World. It was just like other people's lives.
But the realm of cultivation is real and true.
besides……"
Cheng Kai seemed to have thought of something and said:
"The time spent there will be clearly reflected in your longevity. Those thousand years are blurry to me, but I am indeed over a thousand years old now."
Fang Chang seemed to think of something and swallowed secretly.
Projection to the heavens or the arrival of players?
They all come to a new world, they all have different time flow rates, and their game experience cannot interfere with reality.
It's like he is a swordsman in the game, but in reality he is still an otaku.
The highlight moments in the game will not have much impact on his real-life character.
So when he first traveled through time, he did not inherit the decisiveness of the Sword Immortal profession, but instead had the wretchedness and caution of an otaku.
This is not the same thing.
So I left it here with him as a matryoshka doll.
Am I playing games in a game world?
Although the plane of immortals and demons is almost certainly a real world now.
It’s not that he looks down on people, it’s just that in reality, game plot planning cannot create such a perfect world background without bugs.
So which game company originally published the game "Immortals"?
Was it really developed by a group of programmers in the real world?
Or is it that some great power in the immortal and demonic plane is projected over and deliberately attracts the players?
Fang Chang felt as if he had accidentally discovered the secret of the "Fairy and Demon" game.
So here comes the question, who is so bored as to hook up with a group of sandbox players, and what does he want to do?
Um……
It can't be him, right?
There is a saying that he is indeed someone who can do such a thing.
But in the future "Fairy and Demon" game world, there won't be a powerful person named Fang Chang, and the few prestigious names he thought of have not been spread.
Fang Chang's thoughts swirled, and a layer of blush caused by the rapid operation of his brain appeared on his face.
It's too mind-numbing, so just let nature take its course.
Maybe he just thinks too much.
Fang Chang put the problem behind him, appearing calm on the surface.
"This puts me at ease. After all, for a person as emotional as me, I might be reluctant to leave after staying for a long time.
A mere few hundred years of life is nothing to a young man like me."
And in other words, in another world, can you just put on pants and not recognize people?
After all, if you don’t remember it, it doesn’t count as betrayal. Well, it’s probably similar to how if you don’t pay, it doesn’t count as prostitution.
"Really."
Cheng Kai looked at Fang Chang suspiciously.
Judging from Fang Chang's expression just now, this guy seemed to be hiding something from him.
However, he didn't want to go into details and warned him again.
Although he and Fang Chang didn't get along, with Dongdong as a smoothing agent, apart from the unpleasantness when they first met, everything was good between them.
Talk all the way.
The carriage moved slowly like the wind, and the eight hundred miles journey was reached in a short time.
…
Cheng Mansion.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the porter came forward to greet him.
Fang Chang and Li Hu were in front, followed by Cheng Kai. The juniors showed great gestures.
"master."
The concierge is a strong, middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slightly honest smile on his face, and he looks like an honest man.
"You must be my uncle. I have already told this little person. If you need anything, just tell me."
The concierge should have to explain to Cheng Kai, and now he could recognize who his uncle was at a glance.
As for Li Hu, he was gorgeously ignored.
Fortunately, Li Hu didn't care and just followed Fang Chang like a guard.
"Um."
Fang Chang lowered his head gently, his attitude neither cold nor hot.
He could tell at a glance that the concierge was a cultivator who specialized in physical cultivation, probably in the middle or late stages of foundation building.
The world has changed so much.
The cultivation level of the leader of a sect before was now reduced to that of a concierge.
However, if a third-rank official in front of the prime minister can serve as concierge for Cheng Kai, maybe Jin Dan will be attracted by him.
"His name is Liu Qing. In addition to being the concierge of my mansion, he also works part-time as the housekeeper. If you have anything to do in Beijing these days, just ask him.
If there's nothing important, don't bother me."
After Cheng Kai and Fang Chang reminisced about old times, they began to look at each other with disgust, and now they were obviously disgusted.
"It's just right. I didn't want to disturb you."
Fang Chang didn't like him either.
Now that he had extracted all the information from his father-in-law, he didn't care whether he was offended or not.
Anyway, as long as his wife is still there, Cheng Kai, the old grandfather, can't run away.
Those who are loved are always confident.
Although he was loved all over the place, it still meant the same thing.
Cheng Kai snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and entered the house.
When the concierge Liu Qing saw this, he whispered to the other party:
"Sister-in-law, I knew you were coming, so I ordered you to prepare it early. I know that your uncle likes spicy food, so I even hired a cook."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin.
"This old man... is quite cute. For Dongdong's sake, let's reduce our hatred by another three points."
Liu Qing looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, but heard nothing.
"Um, your name is Liu Qing?"
"Yes, uncle."
"Do you have a sister named Liu Hong?"
"Ah, how did my uncle know that the villain has a sister? Her name is Liu Hong. Does it mean that my uncle knows the villain's sister?"
"Forehead……"
Fang Chang almost wanted to ask if there were any golden swallows.
Fortunately, he held it back and changed the topic.
"Why are you still the butler?"
"The master is a poor official, and he has a clean mind. Apart from the villain, there is only one cook and one groom in the house."
Liu Qing was very sorry. If her sister really knew her uncle, it would be a step to the sky.
"So, he's quite lonely?" Fang Chang muttered.
Liu Qing did not dare to answer, and it was taboo to talk about the master's family.
Of course, words of praise do not fall into this category.
When your boss hears this, he will secretly give you a promotion and a salary increase.
Fang Chang continued: "I didn't know I would come to Chang'an this time. Next time I come, I have to bring a letter from his granddaughter to help him relieve the pain of lovesickness.
In addition, Dongdong has to persuade him to enjoy more while he still has thousands of years to live.
The twenty-year-old self cannot come back, but the twenty-year-old girl has it every year.
As long as no one is killed to divide my wife's inheritance, everything will be fine.
I’m actually quite open-minded.”
Cheng Kai, who had been in the mansion for a long time but whose consciousness was all over the void, crushed the armrest of the seat.
"This bastard!"
Having said that, he withdrew his consciousness, his ears turned deaf and his heart became pure.
…
Chang'an City maintains its specifications before the Heavenly Change, covering an area of hundreds of miles and being ten feet high. It was originally a first-class majestic city.
But now it is not as good as the several big cities under the command of the governor.
If you had not looked at the majestic acropolis surrounding Chang'an, you would never have imagined that such a small city could be the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
When the natural disaster came, everything was destroyed, but the city of Chang'an remained motionless, not a brick or a stone was damaged. People said that the capital of the Tang Dynasty was suppressed by dragon energy.
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
Chang'an City is such an ancient and vicissitudes of city that it is probably the only one in the Tang Dynasty.
"Chang'an, Chang'an..."
In a fragrant pavilion with a faint fragrance, Fang Chang and Li Hu sat down. Several beautiful girls with dexterous hands and eyes sat aside, pouring wine and dishes for them.
Well, this is an elegant club that cultivates sentiments, called Luo Qin Xuan.
Now that we have come to Chang'an City, how can we not understand the local customs and customs of this place?
The day after Fang Chang arrived at Cheng Mansion, he took his eldest brother to drink wine.
Of course, the drink is very vegetarian.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
Li Hu smiled bitterly.
It's more difficult for two girls to stand on one side than to fight with others.
Fang Chang held his drink and said with a smile: "Brother, if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak. We are still collecting intelligence.
And this place is no more comfortable than a restaurant or restaurant. Relax, with your cultivation level, brother, how could anyone dare to harm you?"
This Luoqinxuan is indeed a high-end place in Liu Qing's words. All the girls in it have good cultivation. Although they are not high, they have spiritual energy to temper their bodies. Their bodies are clear and very clean.
Therefore, he was very popular among the dignitaries in the city.
Moreover, in front of girls, it is difficult for men to change their nature, and bragging will not be taxed.
Fang Chang only sat upstairs for a while and heard a lot of interesting news, which gave him a rough understanding of the current situation.
Qingxiao City is located in a quiet corner. Although there are mountains and rivers that communicate with each other, the masters of the twelve mountains and rivers are wary of each other. Yaoguang is a dead house girl and has no concern for the outside world.
So compared to the entire Tang Dynasty, his eyes and ears were very closed.
Now, in just a few moments, he felt like his eyes had been opened.
