Under Li Huowang's gaze, a carriage came from the intersection in the distance.
The carriage bells came along with the misty sound of the wind, and the luxurious and magnificent carriage came riding on the wind.
The eight sleek, jujube horses took elegant little square steps and pulled the carriage steadily. Just by looking at the horses, you knew that this person was no ordinary person.
When he saw Xuan Mi lift the curtain of the carriage, Li Huowang suddenly felt happy. He immediately put down the hand that was holding the sword hilt and jumped directly onto the carriage in a few steps.
But when he saw the people in the carriage, Li Huowang's face instantly turned cold. In the carriage were not only Daliang Si Tianjian Xuan Ming, but also Daliang Emperor Gao Zhijian.
"Sit down." Xuan Mi pulled Li Huowang and asked him to sit down.
Seeing the two people facing each other face to face, Xuan Mi lay back and disappeared into the carport without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Li, the price of food in Beijing has been increased because of you."
"Really? Isn't it possible that His Majesty the Emperor's one hundred and eight dishes are not responsible for this?"
Gao Zhijian didn't explain anything, they just stayed silent.
When he heard the noise outside the carport, Gao Zhijian reached out and opened the car window. At this moment, they were back in Shangjing.
"In order to encircle and suppress the Dharma religion, the Daliang faction had a hard time working hard on people and money. In addition, now that we have lost a few hours, the lunar calendar is no longer useful, and it is difficult to grow food. In addition, you keep buying food and sending it to Daqi.
Even if the household department opens a warehouse to release grain, it will not help."
On the left is a grain store, with some people coming in and out sighing and complaining.
"At least they are still alive, at least they don't have to eat people, right?" Compared with the current Daqi, Daliang at this moment is simply a fairyland on earth.
"It's true that no one has starved to death, but Senior Brother Li, don't forget, Daliang can't kill anyone now." Gao Zhijian closed the car window and the horse pulled up again.
After a while, the car stopped again, and when the car window opened, the corners of the street were filled with skinny beggars.
Their limbs were as thin as chopsticks and their bellies were bulging, making them look like starving ghosts in the opera.
These people were lying on the ground, motionless, and some of their bodies had begun to rot.
An old man pulling a cart came by and put the badly rotten ones on the cart, preparing to drag them away and burn them.
"Senior Brother Li, do you know that people are not born to be beggars? There were not so many beggars in Daliang in the past. They used to be ordinary people."
"Food prices are the foundation of the people. When food prices go up, all things will rise accordingly. The more things go up, the more beggars there will be."
Looking at everything outside the car window, Li Huowang said: "Okay, I got it, I'll look for food elsewhere."
"Senior Brother Li, do you still think I'm talking to you about food? Which one is more important to you, Daqi or Daliang?" Gao Zhijian leaned forward with an unusually solemn expression.
"Why do we have to distinguish which one is lighter and which is heavier? Why can't there be no deaths on both sides? Everyone is equally heavy?"
"No! Senior Brother Li, haven't you ever thought about why Supervisor Tiansi set such a heavy punishment in order to move those who lied about history to the three clans?"
"And Zhuge Yuan, why should Supervisor Tiansi be so wary of the storyteller? Just because the land division between Daqi and Daliang is not so clear!"
"A thousand years ago, when Da Qi was destroyed, it was Daliang. When Da Qi was not destroyed, it was Da Qi. If Da Qi was real, then Daliang was fake! This is the fate of heaven and earth!"
The carport became quiet, except for the breathing sounds of Li Huowang and Gao Zhijian.
Gao Zhijian sighed deeply. "Senior Brother Li, don't go help Daqi. Let everything take its course. Now that the storyteller is gone, just treat them as if they don't exist."
This information made Li Huowang's head buzz, "Wait a minute, I want to take a good look at it." Li Huowang turned around and left the carriage directly.
Gao Zhijian sat in the carport and waited for a while, then said: "You should tell him these things, why don't you let me tell him?"
Xuan Mi's tall body slowly rose up from under the carport. "Since you have become a villain, you will be a villain to the end. I don't want my father to hate me."
"Your father is just a confused person who puts the cart before the horse!"
After venting his dissatisfaction, Gao Zhijian sighed deeply, "Do you think Senior Brother Li will listen?"
"No, but now is the time to tell him. If he really has to make a choice, he will weigh it."
"Hey, why can't Senior Brother Li think from my perspective? I really don't want to be this evil person."
"As I said before, since you are the Emperor of Liang, you are destined to be different from him. Just do your own thing well."
"I regret it now. I shouldn't be this emperor." Gao Zhijian took out the bag of soul meat from his arms, closed his eyes and took a deep breath on it.
When he opened his eyes again, the confusion on his face instantly became much smaller, and he turned back into the unfathomable Emperor of Liang.
"Between Qingqiu and Houshu, do you think there is a good chance of making Nanping and Siqi become Daliang enclaves?"
"Xuan Ming is the Si Tianjian. According to the ancestral instructions of the Si Nei, she is not allowed to participate in any affairs of the court."
"Well..." Gao Zhijian pondered for a while, then waved his robe gently, "Go back to the palace and summon the six ministers."
Li Huowang walked on the road a little absent-mindedly, thinking about what Gao Zhijian just said.
If Daqi is real, then Daliang is fake. If Daliang is real, then Daqi is fake. So which side is really real?
The two sides are not parallel worlds, but two different possibilities separated by the node a thousand years ago.
But the different possibilities in one place exist in strange synchrony. This is really weird.
"What the hell is going on in this world!" Li Huowang had a headache.
"Because it's crazy." Li Huowang raised his head and saw the seasonal disaster in the water in front of him.
Looking at his future self in the water, Li Huowang asked: "What else?"
"No, I can't say anything else because I haven't said it yet."
"Do I need you to tell me that the world is crazy? Don't I have eyes? Go, go, go!"
"There is indeed one missing piece." After Ji Liang finished speaking, the body changed back into its reflection.
Just as Li Huowang was squatting by the water, he picked up water with his hands and splashed it on his face to wake him up.
When he shook his head and shook off the water from his hair, he realized that he had appeared next to Niuxin Village for some unknown reason.
He obviously borrowed his cultivation ability to spend two days and two nights from Niuxin Village to Shangjing, but just after spending a while, he inexplicably returned to Niuxin Village from Shangjing.
When Li Huowang walked into the village, he saw Gou Wa greeting him eagerly: "Senior Brother Li, why did you come back so early this year?"
