Before dawn, Wei Changtian and others packed their luggage and left Zhuwu by car.
Although Qin He said yesterday that he would come to see him off, they left quietly without saying a word.
From the time he first moved into Zhuwu as a horse dealer to the day he left today, Wei Changtian had only lived there for less than a month.
It didn't take long, but it was enough to get familiar with everything here.
So when he left this morning, Wei Changtian couldn't help but look back a few more times.
There are still residual dew left between the eaves and tiles from last night, and the green bamboo forest is the same as before. The bamboo leaves are like waves, gently swaying in the wind.
"Gululu..."
The wheels rolled as the carriage passed through the empty streets of Yongding City and exited the West Gate in the thin morning mist.
The 200,000 surrendered troops stationed outside the city have already buried themselves in camp and can return to their homeland at any time.
It was obvious that Wei Changtian was planning to personally "send these 200,000 people back" to Daqian.
But before the army could start, along with the sound of horse hooves, Gongsun Yan, who had just received the news, finally rushed here at the last moment.
"Wei, Mr. Wei!"
Gongsun Yan hurriedly turned over and dismounted. Out of breath, Gongsun Yan ran to Wei Changtian's carriage, obviously not expecting the latter to leave so suddenly.
He originally thought that Wei Changtian would wait until he actually sat on the dragon throne before leaving, but he didn't expect that Wei Changtian was not willing to stay for a whole day.
Of course, Gongsun Yan was not that reluctant to let go of Wei Changtian.
He was just afraid that once Wei Changtian left, all the forces in the country would be ready to move again and cause some trouble.
That's why he rushed here in a hurry, trying to persuade Wei Changtian to stay a few more days.
But before he could speak, Wei Changtian already guessed what he was thinking and said calmly:
"My lord, you don't have to worry."
"Whether I leave or not, as long as I am alive, no one will dare to do anything to you."
"Just be your emperor in a down-to-earth manner."
"..."
The expression on his face stiffened for a moment, and Gongsun Yan's prepared words were blocked before he could even speak.
Wei Changtian had already said this, so naturally he couldn't say anything else, so he could only respond with a smile:
"Yes, I understand."
"The villain will never forget the promise he made before, and he will follow the master's lead from now on."
"By the way, sir, there is also the title of the new dynasty..."
After expressing his loyalty again, Gongsun Yan suddenly remembered something and asked Wei Changtian softly: "I wonder what you think?"
Country name?
There is no doubt that since Gongsun Yan wants to establish a new dynasty on his own, Dahui will naturally no longer be called Dahui, but will have to take a new country name.
This is undoubtedly a major event, and logically speaking, it is decided by the emperor of the new dynasty.
However, Gongsun Yan left the decision-making power on this matter to Wei Changtian, and his attitude could not be described as disrespectful.
It's just that Wei Changtian doesn't seem to be interested in this.
"It doesn't matter, you decide for yourself."
"this......"
After hesitating for a moment, Gongsun Yan tentatively asked in a low voice: "What about Wei?"
"..."
"The leader" says that you can make your own decision, but that doesn't mean that you don't need to seek the leader's opinion after you decide on the matter.
It can be seen that Gongsun Yan is well versed in the ways of officialdom, and he would have been able to shine in his official career in his previous life.
Only this Da Wei...
"It's a bit too showy."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Why don't we call him Da Chu."
"Chu..."
When Gongsun Yan heard this word, he immediately thought of Chu Xianping, and his expression was slightly startled.
But Wei Changtian was determined, and he couldn't say anything more, so he quickly nodded in agreement:
"Young Master is a great talent! This is a very good word!"
"I understand, villain!"
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian, who had been sitting in the car, glanced at Gongsun Yan: "Your Majesty, is there anything else you can do?"
"Ah! No more! No more!"
Gongsun Yan knew that Wei Changtian was preparing to leave, so he quickly took a step back, bowed and shouted:
"Master, walk slowly!"
"Okay, Your Majesty, please stay. I'll see you later."
After replying politely, Wei Changtian no longer looked at Gongsun Yan, but turned to Zhang San in front of the car and ordered:
"Let's go."
"..."
"Snapped!"
The whip was raised high, and the horse pulling the cart neighed loudly and immediately took off and ran forward.
And as the carriage drove up the official road in the faint morning light, the dark army not far away began to move slowly in the same direction.
"Ms. sir, why is it Da Chu?"
In the swaying sedan, Yang Liushi looked at Wei Changtian with a smile and asked, "Is it because of Chu Xianping?"
"Would you believe it if I said it wasn't true?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Actually, there's really no reason, it's just a casual comment."
"Keke, what happens after Da Gan is destroyed?"
Yang Liushi smiled even more: "What name will your husband give to the new dynasty?"
"we'll talk about it then."
Wei Changtian leaned against the wall of the car and muttered with a relaxed expression: "Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han, just pick any one."
"Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han?"
Hearing this "jingle" that sounded smooth but had no origin, Yang Liushi was slightly startled: "Ms. sir, what is this?"
"This is......"
Wei Changtian suddenly straightened up and his expression became inexplicably excited: "We are still far from Daqian. Do you want to hear a story?"
"story?"
Yang Liushi was even more confused: "What story? Is it like Journey to the West?"
"no."
Wei Changtian smiled: "It's a story about the seven kingdoms competing for hegemony."
"Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony..."
Yang Liushi didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly wanted to tell a story, or it was such a story that she had never heard of.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, Wei Changtian had "published" the very popular "Journey to the West" before. If it hadn't been for several consecutive turmoils, his husband might have become a well-known literary figure. Everyone said that
Not allowed.
Furthermore, the Seven Kingdoms Battle for Hegemony sounds very interesting...
Thinking of this, Yang Liushi stopped talking, but adjusted her sitting position with great interest, and even got a cup of tea, assuming a "you talk and I listen" posture.
Even Li Zimu turned around curiously.
The two women just looked at Wei Changtian, waiting for his story.
The latter also had no ink marks. After clearing his throat, he said in a deep voice:
"In a time of great strife, a hundred schools of thought contend."
"It is said that thousands of years ago the world was divided into seven kingdoms..."
"..."
In this way, Wei Changtian began his second "creation" after "Journey to the West", which tells the story of the seven heroes competing for hegemony during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life.
His voice was drowned in the "rumbling" sound of marching, and a sunrise appeared in the east.
Under the twilight, Yongding City gradually woke up at this time.
A great chaos covered the vicissitudes of this thousand-year-old city and obscured its former prosperity.
But when the flying dust on the ancient road and the gunpowder smoke on Longshou Mountain settle, everything will eventually pass.
As for the turmoil in Daqian, this has just begun.
You know, although in most cases, times make heroes.
