Chapter 272: Zhenwu Emperor's Search for Lover
The 49-year-old Ying Zheng was dying, his life was like a candle in the wind. He smiled and said to the eunuch beside him: "I can finally go find her. She is waiting for me in heaven."
Before his death, Ying Zheng issued a secret decree filled with endless majesty and determination: "Of the millions of brave lions that frightened the six kingdoms, 80 are guarding southern China, and the rest are resisting the northern Xiongnu. If the Qin dynasty is in trouble, the millions of soldiers will not be able to return to the court, and it will not matter who is the emperor. At all costs, we must preserve the integrity of China's territory, ensure that the people of the world live a worry-free life, and ensure that China will be peaceful forever."
After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the whole country was in chaos and turmoil. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, with only 20,000 elite troops, broke through the city of Xianyang. At that time, the guards of Xianyang were actually the criminals who were forced to work for the construction of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. When the Qin Dynasty fell, its precious heritage, including its national system, written language and rules, were inherited and preserved by the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Wen of Han learned that Zhao Tuo was in control of the main force of the Qin army of 500,000, he knew the disparity in power and chose to avoid direct conflict. Out of careful consideration and strategic considerations, Emperor Wen of Han wisely appointed Zhao Tuo as the King of Nanyue, thus maintaining peace and stability between the two sides.
However, Zhao Tuo firmly replied: "Decades ago, I was entrusted by an old man to guard the southern gate of China. If I am now crowned the King of Nanyue, I will break my oath."
Therefore, Zhao Tuo chose to submit directly to the Han Dynasty. He knew very well that his mission was to defend the unity of China, rather than to establish his own regime for his own selfish reasons.
Luo Ying opened her third eye and saw these subsequent images of Ying Zheng. She couldn't help but burst into tears and was deeply moved. Her heart was filled with emotion. She choked and whispered, "You really kept your promise and became a wise ruler through the ages. It's just that history is written by the victors. I have slandered you too much and I owe you too much."
Hua Yuchen approached quietly, gently hugged Luo Ying, and asked her gently in a voice as soft as the spring breeze: "Why are you secretly looking at him again?"
Luo Ying was so shocked by the sudden question that she was at a loss for words. She looked up at Hua Yuchen in panic, tears still lingering in her eyes. She stammered with red eyes, "I...I...just want to see how he ends up."
Hua Yuchen hugged her tightly in his arms and comforted her, saying, "Don't be nervous. He has waited for you for a lifetime in the mortal world and is so affectionate to you. You see, it is only natural for him to do so. I finally understand why Lord Cangmo is willing to wait for you for ten million years.
Your existence has gone beyond the scope of love between men and women, and you are an irreplaceable soul mate. Beautiful bodies are everywhere, but interesting souls are rare, and soul mates are even rarer treasures. No wonder every man who has been with you will love you wholeheartedly.
A good soul mate can not only add points to the whole life and make it more wonderful, but also make each other successful. Which man does not want to have such a woman, and which man would not love her? "
Hua Yuchen lifted Luo Ying's chin, his eyes full of love and cherishment. He looked at her affectionately and said softly, "Fortunately, I met you before them and took you, a rare treasure, for myself. Otherwise, with so many high-quality competitors, it would be really difficult to compete with them if we started from the same point."
After hearing this, Luo Ying's face was filled with a happy smile, and she snuggled gently in Hua Yuchen's arms.
In the solemn and dignified Xuanwu Palace, the Great Emperor Zhenwu walked slowly into the magnificent hall with a deep expression on his face. His steps were steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
He walked straight to the throne in the center of the hall, which was inlaid with glittering gems, demonstrating its extraordinary status and glory. Zhenwu Emperor slowly sat down, his figure tall and majestic, like a towering mountain, standing in this solemn hall.
His eyes were deep and solemn, as if they could see through all vanity and glitz. There was a hint of melancholy between his brows, and his face was solemn, as he fell into deep thought.
Every line on the face of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is as clear as a knife, three-dimensional and deep. His facial features form an extremely handsome and impeccable face, full of majesty and charm. He is wearing a black battle robe as deep as the night, and the edge of the robe is outlined with brilliant gold lines to form a gorgeous pattern of tortoises and snakes. On the robe, the three-dimensional snake head and tortoise shell pure gold decorations are shining, full of solemnity and majesty.
His black hair was like a waterfall, tied up high, showing an inviolable majesty. On the golden hair crown, there was a pure gold snake head with a black gem in its mouth, which not only added to his mysterious temperament, but also showed his masculine beauty.
He was tall and strong, with muscles like steel that had been tempered a thousand times, tough and powerful. This suit of armor seemed to be tailor-made for him, perfectly displaying his unique masculinity, making people feel intimidated, yet also respectful.
She Huaichuan and Gui Moyun noticed the solemnity on his face, stepped forward quickly, put their hands together, bowed slightly, and said respectfully in unison: "Welcome Master back to the palace."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not respond.
She Huaichuan noticed that his master was worried and curious, so he asked carefully, "Master, how come you came back so soon after this tribulation? Didn't you have to go through the tribulation for three lifetimes?"
Emperor Zhenwu finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and spoke slowly: "In this life, I helped the mortal world unify the world, unify the weights and measures, the writing system, and various systems. I have made a huge contribution to the mortal world and have made great achievements, so I came back early!"
She Huaichuan was a little confused and asked puzzledly: "Then why is Master still unhappy?"
Emperor Zhenwu sighed deeply, looking into the distance as if searching for those unreachable memories. He said in a suppressed tone, "In this life, I was able to achieve such great achievements because a fairy from heaven came to the mortal world to help me. But... I don't know where to find her."
She Huaichuan looked at the slightly lost look on the Zhenwu Emperor's face and couldn't help but tease him, "Master, could it be that you have fallen in love with this fairy?"
Zhenwu Emperor's heart tightened. She Huaichuan's words touched the pain deep in his heart. He did not respond directly, but just murmured to himself in a low voice: "The heaven is so big, where should I go to find her?"
She Huaichuan's curiosity was completely aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master, you don't even know her name, do you?"
Emperor Zhenwu frowned and said to himself, "Yes! Why didn't I ask her full name?"
She Huaichuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said jokingly: "I have helped you so much, why don't you even ask my name?"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu's eyes glared at She Huaichuan, who lowered his head and dared not say anything more. After a short silence, She Huaichuan seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, a fairy from heaven came to see you a few days ago."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu raised his head suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What does the fairy from heaven want to see me for?"
She Huaichuan answered respectfully: "She said she is a disciple of Wenqu constellation, the Fairy of Yaochi Wenyao Fish. The Emperor of Heaven sent her to retrieve the artifact left by Pangu, the God of War."
The face of the Zhenwu Emperor changed drastically in an instant, and a hint of disdain was revealed in his stern expression. He snorted coldly: "The Emperor of Heaven always punishes me to go down to the mortal world to experience tribulations for a small matter. Now that he needs me, he remembers to look for me. She wants the artifact left by the God of War Pangu, hum! No way. Next time she comes, just chase her away and don't let her in. It's annoying to see people coming from heaven."
She Huaichuan observed the anger on Emperor Zhenwu's face and felt uneasy, but he couldn't help but want to say a few good words for Luo Ying.
She Huaichuan said cautiously: "Master, actually...after that festival tens of millions of years ago...it's normal for you to hate those people in the heaven so much. It's also reasonable to shut them out...I mean..."
The eyes of the Great Emperor Zhenwu were like ice, staring at She Huaichuan coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone. The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you want to say, kid? Why are you hesitating?"
She Huaichuan took a deep breath and said calmly, "What I mean is, aren't you looking for the fairy in the mortal world? Wouldn't it be helpful for you to have someone familiar in the fairy world to help you find out? Besides, this fairy Luo Ying is the fairy of Yaochi, maybe she is familiar with the fairy you are looking for?"
When the Great Emperor Zhenwu heard the words "Fairy Luo Ying", he was shocked. He stood up suddenly and walked quickly to She Huaichuan. He held his arms tightly with both hands, and asked excitedly with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, "What did you say her name was?"
She Huaichuan was frightened by the sudden and violent reaction of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and said tremblingly: "Luo...Luo Ying."
The heart of the Great Emperor Zhenwu suddenly shrank, and his voice was filled with incredible excitement. He murmured to himself, "Luo Ying... Sister Ying, could it be... that it is really her!"
His emotions surged like a raging tide, and the hand holding She Huaichuan shook violently unconsciously. He tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked eagerly: "What does she... look like?"
She Huaichuan described Luo Ying's appearance in detail to Zhenwu Emperor. At that moment, Zhenwu Emperor's eyes seemed to have traveled through a thousand years. His emotions suddenly got out of control, and his words blurted out almost inadvertently: "It's really you..." As he spoke, his figure flashed and he had already walked out of the hall, his anxiety was beyond words.
She Huaichuan hurriedly followed him and quickly caught up with him and asked, "Master, where are you going?"
Without even turning his head, the Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "I am going to heaven to find her."
Emperor Zhenwu hurriedly stepped into the Hexun Palace of Wenquxing, and the scene in front of him was elegant and quiet. In the bamboo forest, the sound of the zither echoed in every corner of the palace. Emperor Zhenwu found Wenquxing Han Hexun playing the zither in the bamboo forest, with an undisguised anxiety on his face: "Wenquxing, does your disciple have a Wenyaoyu fairy?" The voice of Emperor Zhenwu revealed a bit of urgency.
When Han Hexun heard this, the strings in his hand trembled slightly. He raised his head and asked with surprise in his eyes: "How did you know?"
Emperor Zhenwu was delighted and excited, as if he had found a long-lost clue. He blurted out excitedly: "Sure enough, she is with you. Can you ask her to come out?"
Han Hexun asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want to see her for?"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu was extremely anxious, and with a pleading tone, he said anxiously: "I have something important to ask her, and I hope Wenquxing will help me."
Seeing how anxious the Emperor Zhenwu was, Han Hexun did not dare to neglect it and immediately summoned the Fairy Wen Yao. However, the moment the Emperor Zhenwu saw the Fairy Wen Yao, the expectation on his face instantly disappeared, as if a balloon had been punctured. He asked disappointedly, "It's not her. Is there only one Fairy Wen Yao?"
Han Hexun answered with certainty: "Yes! She is the only Fairy Wen Yaoyu under my seat!"
Emperor Zhenwu was still unwilling to give up, and asked again: "Wenquxing, think about it again, maybe you remembered it wrongly? There should be a Wenyao Fish Fairy named Luo Ying!"
Han Hexun thought carefully and answered firmly, "Luo Ying? None of my disciples has this name!"
Emperor Zhenwu was in a state of confusion and loss at the moment. He looked desperate and lost. He muttered to himself in despair, "How could it be gone? I finally found your clue, how come it's gone again? Where are you?"
Seeing him so distraught, Han Hexun couldn't help but tease him and asked, "Zhenwu Immortal Lord, is this fairy so important to you?"
Emperor Zhenwu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice still revealed an undisguised loss. Emperor Zhenwu replied in despair: "Yes, she... is more important than my life."
Han Hexun was shocked by his answer, his eyes full of disbelief. Emperor Zhenwu seemed to be in a trance, and staggered out of Hexun Palace.
Han Hexun looked at the back of the Zhenwu Emperor as he walked away, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart. He whispered to himself: "Luo Ying? What kind of woman is this that makes the Zhenwu Emperor so obsessed with her?"
