Huo Qubing stood there with a frown on his face, looking at Cai Yuan who was pale, not knowing what to say.
"What do you think about this matter?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke slowly.
Huo Qubing was silent for a moment, and then said, "I... don't understand the prophecies of celestial phenomena, and I dare not speak nonsense."
After all, astrology is just a mysticism, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. But if you say such words as "great chaos is bound to happen" and "everything will be ruined within a day" in front of today's world, you may be beheaded!
It can be seen that Cai Yuan was really panicked when two prison guards died suddenly. At this moment, his fear of the red star and the prophecy had completely suppressed his awe of the royal family.
"Recently, I have indeed received many memorials about evil spirits causing trouble, and I have also sent a lot of manpower to relieve disasters and exorcise evil spirits... However, now, my country and family have not been destroyed by foreign enemies, nor have I suffered from famine or drought. I am just a man.
How can a red star in the sky devastate all life in the world in one day?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's voice was extremely deep.
"Chen...chen..." Cai Yuan stood aside and hesitated for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at him for a long time, until cold sweat broke out on Cai Yuan's forehead, and then he slowly spoke:
"That's all...just go down."
"yes!"
Cai Yuan was granted amnesty, and turned around to leave. As soon as he took a step, his legs became weak. Huo Qubing, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, held him up. After thanking him repeatedly, Cai Yuan hurriedly escaped from the palace.
Huo Qubing looked away from Cai Yuan's back, turned around and asked:
"Your Majesty... Mr. Cai is just too scared."
"Of course I understand, I am not that unreasonable and foolish king." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and sat down helplessly, "However, we still have to guard against the danger of the Red Star... Those 30,000 troops are still there.
Outside the city?"
"Still."
"I will issue a decree now. The 30,000-strong army and the Yulin Army in Chang'an City will be commanded by you. They must be stationed everywhere in Chang'an. As for the other vassal states, I have written a book to ask them to take strict precautions."
"yes!"
Huo Qubing turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and spoke again:
"My lord, I have one more thing to ask of you..."
…
Chang'an, inn.
Chloe hung the bamboo hat on the wall and turned to look at Lin Qiye. Several missionaries were standing behind Lin Qiye, their eyes widened, as if they were ready to throw the young man out of the house at any time.
"It should be safe enough here, right?" Chloe said slowly, "Who are you?"
"My name is Lin Qiye, and I come from the future more than two thousand years later." Lin Qiye went straight to the point, "The reason why I am here should be related to you... No, to be precise, it is related to you in the future."
Lin Qiye's first sentence struck a critical blow at the many missionaries behind him. Their eyes widened in shock, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"Two thousand years in the future?" Chloe also frowned.
She lowered her head and wandered in the room for a long time, as if thinking about something.
"You...let me take another look."
"What?"
"It's yours... yours... oh, it's the place you just showed me!" A blush flashed across Chloe's cheeks, and she spoke with some embarrassment.
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and naturally pulled down his collar, revealing the two [Covenants].
To be honest, the locations of these two marks are not that private... But looking at Chloe's reaction, it was a bit beyond Lin Qiye's expectations. He had always thought that the legendary agent of Yelande would be the kind of person who would not eat anything.
The character of a firework in the world, looking down on all living beings indifferently.
Now it seems that she has more "human nature" in her body. If you think about it carefully, since she is a messenger appointed by Yalande to preach in the world, she must be able to integrate into the world and experience the suffering and joy of the world...
Perhaps, when she has experienced enough suffering and lasted long enough, she will be able to complete her mission with another perspective that gradually transcends "humanity".
Chloe blushed and stared carefully at the two [Covenants] on Lin Qiye's chest for a long time, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, it was indeed left by me..."
Several missionaries looked at each other with shock in their eyes... After all, they were just ordinary people. Although they had seen the saint's abilities, extending directly to the future two thousand years later was completely beyond their understanding.
"Can you see the different functions of these three [covenants]?" Lin Qiye asked the question he was most looking forward to.
"No." Chloe shook her head, "These marks are proof of the [Covenant], and they do not contain the power to fulfill the covenant... What really triggers the covenant should be with me in the future."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's like...well...I borrowed you ten taels of silver today and agreed to return it to you at noon tomorrow. I wrote an IOU and left it to you, but before noon tomorrow, you actually don't have ten taels of silver on you.
Two pieces of silver, only one IOU, and the real money is still with me.
My money will only come to you at the agreed time, and similarly, the IOU will be torn up... So, do you understand?" Chloe tried her best to explain in plain language.
"That's it." Lin Qiye nodded.
He always thought that the power that could travel through two thousand years was stored in the disappeared mark... Now it seems that it is just a medium, and it is the future Chloe who can really do this.
"Then how did you send me to two thousand years ago? This is something that even the God of Time can hardly do."
"[The covenant] must be agreed upon and will be fulfilled. No matter how difficult the process is, there will be various factors to help realize it... Again, I borrowed you ten taels of silver and promised to pay it back at noon tomorrow.
You, even if I don't have any means to make money, it will go into my bag by itself.
The specific process may be that a thief suddenly stumbled next to me and the ten taels of silver he just stole fell in front of me; it may also be that a flying bird held a hairpin worth ten taels of silver and suddenly dropped it.
It came into my hands, and at this moment someone happened to come to buy this hairpin..."
Lin Qiye's mouth gradually opened wide.
"Once an agreement is made, it will definitely come true...so that's what it means?"
Lin Qiye always thought that the description of Chloe's ability was just some kind of special modification. He didn't expect it to be so hard-core. No matter how unexpected it was, it could be achieved. Isn't it similar to luck adding to the body? He thought to himself
Done?
"So, as long as you sign the [Covenant], you can do anything... Then why don't you in the future directly sign the [Covenant] and let the Cthulhu gods be destroyed directly?"
