Chapter 419 Recalling the Future
When Fang Weihan came to his senses, his back was covered in cold sweat.

This matter is full of weirdness and calculation, like a Rashomon of time and space. Unknowingly, he seems to have touched the truth of the past.

"Yun Shu, how long can Jingtian predict the future?" Fang Weihan asked in a low voice.

"More or less, depending on the caster's cultivation and skills." Yun Shu replied, "It can be as short as a month or as long as several thousand years. In short, the people in Linyuan Pavilion are far more terrifying than you think."

“Destiny and time and space are two separate entities, just as each of us has two faces.”

Yun Shu looked up at the blazing sunlight above her head, then suddenly turned around and smiled:

"Your second uncle has a lot of hidden identities. Maybe... I also have a hidden identity?"

"You don't care." Fang Weihan said.

"Ah?" Yun Shu was unhappy. "What's your attitude? How come I don't care?"

"Because you are one of us."

Fang Weihan's simple words made all the resentment that Yun Shu had just felt disappear. She turned her head to look at Fang Weihan, then quickly turned away, muttering something in a low voice, her face seeming to be slightly red.

"What?" Fang Weihan didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay. I told you you're stupid." Yun Shu snorted.

Fang Weihan: "..."

A message came from the Mingyue Talisman, which was Xie Lingwan's private chat request. Fang Weihan immersed his mind in it.

Xie Lingwan: "My husband knows the true identity of Qingming Yi Yin?"

Fang Weihan was stunned for a moment.

He just asked casually in the group, but Wanwan was able to guess the answer?

Fang Weihan thought about it and realized that since his second uncle Fang Xun didn't tell him to block the news, he obviously didn't care how widely the news spread.

Besides, telling Xie Lingwan was basically the same as not telling anyone. The eldest daughter of the Chen County Xie family had the ironclad rules in her hands, and she probably knew more secrets than herself.

Fang Weihan: "He's my second uncle."

Xie Lingwan: "His Royal Highness the King of Hedong... Well, if that's the case, then many things make sense."

She didn't seem surprised by the news.

Fang Weihan: "Wanwan had guessed this before? You don't seem surprised at all."

Xie Lingwan: "I have had similar speculations, but I have never doubted your uncle. His disguise is too strong, and he may be wearing a magical tool that can conceal his aura. All my attempts have yielded no results."

Xie Lingwan: "Qingming's position is too biased towards the royal family, and Huo Guang is a person who hates the court. If you say that Yi Yin has no relationship with the royal family, I'm afraid it's hard to explain."

Fang Weihan: "Huo Guang?"

Xie Lingwan: "Qingming's power is spread all over the world, with tens of thousands of members. They handle a wide range of business, including buying and selling information, revenge killings, and cargo escort. They are the largest underworld organization in the Great Zhou. All Qingming cultivators respect the four guards of swords, spears, swords, and halberds. Most of these people are active around Changming and Luojing, and they all have their own public identities to cover up, so they are not usually exposed."

Xie Lingwan: "Above the four guards is Yi and Huo. The former is stationed in Changming, and the latter stays in Luojing. The two have equal say in Qingming."

Xie Lingwan: "My husband, do you still remember the incident half a year ago when the Qingming Festival saw the attack on the Xuanzhong Guards?"

Fang Weihan: “I remember.”

How could he not remember being stabbed by some idiot without any reason?

Xie Lingwan: "That incident was ordered by Yi Yin. More than 50 people died during Qingming Festival, including seven fifth-turn cultivators. It can be said that they suffered a great loss of vitality."

Xie Lingwan: "My husband, don't you find it strange? Why can Xuan Zhongwei shake hands and make peace with Qingming after all this?"

Fang Weihan: "Is this when you started to suspect Yi Yin?"

Xie Lingwan: “That’s right.”

Xie Lingwan: "Actually, Yun Jiang also knows about this matter. It would be more appropriate for her to tell her husband... Eh? I've already told her, my husband won't blame me, right?"

Fang Weihan: "If you agree to solve it at the table next time, I won't blame you."

There was a two-second pause.

Xie Lingwan: "No, it's a bit uncomfortable on the table."

Fang Weihan: "What do you mean by a little uncomfortable? What I mean is, please don't leave without saying goodbye. If you have anything to say, put it on the table and talk about it. We can face it together."

This time the stagnation lasted longer.

Xie Lingwan: "Yeah, I'm touched."

Fang Weihan: "So why is there something wrong with the table?"

Xie Lingwan: "When I noticed the problem with this matter, I investigated it privately. I found an interesting conclusion."

Xie Lingwan: "All those who died that night belonged to Huo Guang's faction."

Fang Weihan: "Killing someone with a borrowed knife?"

Xie Lingwan: "To be more precise, it was an operation by Yi Yin and Xuan Zhongwei to strike dissidents. After that night, all of Huo Guang's spies were eliminated during the Changming and Qingming, and Yi Yin's troops suffered almost no casualties."

Xie Lingwan: "In fact, the Yi Yins of all generations have been more or less inclined towards the court. For example, the previous Yi Yin, Gu Qing'an, who is Yun Jiang's mother, once mobilized the Qingming forces to support Changyuan, and she has a very good reputation among the Changyuan Iron Guards."

Fang Weihan: "So why is there something wrong with the table?"

Xie Lingwan: "As for why Yi Yin's position fell into the hands of Hedong King Fang Xun after Gu Qing'an's death, it is still unknown."

Xie Lingwan: "And Huo Guang...it seems to be secretly connected with the Shangyuan Wang family. Xiao Jin and I are planning to help Yun Jiang completely control the Qingming Organization, which will also eliminate a major worry for us."

Fang Weihan: "So why is there..."

Xie Lingwan: "Husband."

Fang Weihan: "Madam, you say."

Xie Lingwan: "The table is uncomfortable because it is hard. I am probably a little too delicate and cannot stand writing on something like this on a daily basis."

Thousands of miles away, Fang Weihan could still read some coldness between the lines of these plain words.

It’s bad, Wanwan was anxious.

Fang Weihan: "What do you mean by squeamish? Wanwan, you are not squeamish at all! Damn it, a broken table can bully my wife? I will chop it up next time!"

Fang Weihan: "Well, where are you now?"

Xie Lingwan: "I just arrived in Kuaiji not long ago, and now I am on the stone bridge that I talked about with my husband."

Fang Weihan: "Where are Yun Jiang and Xiao Jin?"

Xie Lingwan: "Why don't you just ask them directly?"

Fang Weihan: "What a joke! Do you think I call them my wife?" Xie Lingwan: "Then my husband, don't let them in from now on. I am enough for you."

Fang Weihan's hands froze in mid-air, not knowing how to respond.

Fortunately, Xie Lingwan sent another long message without waiting for his reply.

Xie Lingwan: "Yun Jiang should be in Guyuan. I received a report that a group of foreign cavalrymen plundered Liangzhou not long ago. Yun Jiang led her men to rush over a hundred miles and caught them by surprise. It is said that Fang Zun was particularly happy and ordered her military rank to be promoted by one grade."

Xie Lingwan: "As for Xiao Jin...she should be in Yingchuan. The Yingchuan Lv family was reported to have liaisons with foreigners and Moutu was accused of treason. Because of this incident, the Sili Xiaowei and Xuanzhongwei surrounded the entire Yingchuan County. Xiao Jin should be there too."

Looking at the message sent by Xie Lingwan, Fang Weihan's eyes were briefly silent.

"Yun Shu." Fang Weihan suddenly said, "I can't remember the future of Xiao Jin and Yun Jiang recorded in the TV series. Can you find it out through your subconscious mind?"

"Yes." Yun Shu said.

The girl landed lightly in front of him, stretched out her hand and pressed it on his forehead, with silver light flashing in her eyes.

Fang Weihan felt that some of his turbid memories were being sorted out again, gradually emerging from the bottom to the shallow level, and could be remembered again.

His memory stopped at the fifth year of Taikang, four years after the war broke out.

This memory was too detailed, so detailed that it didn't seem like something from a TV show. He should have noticed something unusual a long time ago, but he just hadn't thought about it in that direction before.

In the first year of Taikang, Changyuan was captured and foreign tribes invaded on a large scale.

In the early stages of the war, the Zhou court retreated again and again, and 200,000 imperial troops were defeated under the city of Changming. There was no decent resistance force north of the Yangtze River.

Xie Lingwan called on all the imperial families to cross the Yangtze River to the south and re-establish the court in Jinling Prefecture, calling it Southern Zhou. She herself was supported by the ministers as the prime minister of Southern Zhou and took charge of the power of Jiangnan.

In the winter of the first year of Taikang, under the command of Xie Lingwan, the Southern Zhou Dynasty mobilized the entire country to fight against the foreign army in the middle of Caishi River, which is known in history as the Battle of Caishi.

The Battle of Cai Shi was a battle that determined the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the foreign race controlled the entire Central Plains, and brought a total of more than 200,000 soldiers who surrendered from the Great Zhou Dynasty across the river to the south. Once the natural barrier of the Yangtze River was broken, the south of the Yangtze River would no longer have the power to stop the foreign army.

Xie Lingwan once said before the battle: "If I win, I will be the prime minister of Zhou; if I lose, I will be the prime minister of Zhou."

Fortunately, the winner of the Caishi Battle was the Southern Zhou. The foreign army was not good at water battles, and was ambushed by the Great Zhou navy when they were halfway across the river. It happened to be the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, and the river water was surging. There were countless leaks in the hastily built warships, and almost all of them fought in the waist-deep river water. In addition, the Southern Zhou was united, and the national hatred and family feuds were superimposed, so the army's combat effectiveness reached the peak in the thousand years since the founding of the country.

As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, the Southern Zhou court successfully drove the foreign army back to the north of the Yangtze River, killing more than tens of thousands of enemies.

Xie Lingwan did not pursue the victory. She deeply realized that the alien race was defeated only because they were not good at naval warfare, not because of insufficient morale and combat power.

She strictly guarded the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and withstood the fierce attacks of the foreign army for three years. At the same time, she rested and recuperated, trained her military, and used physical means to suppress the voices of opposition in the country. At one time, the Jiangnan army was at its peak, with a force of 300,000.

With the right time, right place and right people, Xie Lingwan led her army across the Yangtze River and launched a large-scale counterattack. In the fourth year of Taikang, the front line had been pushed to the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River, and the recovery of the Central Plains was just around the corner.

When the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty mentioned her at that time, they would not call her by her real name or official position, but would refer to her by the respectful title "Xie Xiang", which shows how high her prestige was.

Facts have proved that as long as the Han people in the Central Plains share a common hatred of the enemy and resolve internal conflicts, the northern ethnic minorities who have not yet established a firm foothold are no match for them.

Fang Weihan had never failed to believe in the ability of his childhood sweetheart... except for the first time. Whether he was there or not, she would always be the brightest star of this era.

Fang Weihan continued to search for memories about Tao Yunjiang and Xiao Jin.

He had very few memories of Tao Yunjiang remaining in his mind, which basically stopped at the Qinghuo Academy period. But he had a lot of memories of Tao Yan.

During the collapse of Changyuan in the first year of Taikang, seven of the nine important border towns fell and changed hands. The only two border towns still controlled by the Great Zhou were Guyuan and Tianfang, which were guarded by Tao Yan, the Duke of Shanyang.

When Xie Lingwan was trying to revive the Southern Zhou court, she tried various ways to contact the iron guards in the northwest, but in the end, there was no news. In addition, the foreign tribes claimed that they had killed Tao Yan, the military god of the Great Zhou. In the end, the Southern Zhou Dynasty agreed that the Grand Commandant Tao Yan might have died at the hands of the foreign tribes, and all the nine frontiers fell.

It was not until the fourth year of Taikang that a messenger from the northwest broke through the siege and delivered the handwritten letter from the Duke of Shanyang to Xie Lingwan.

The rulers and ministers of Southern Zhou received news that made them extremely excited:
Tianfang Town did fall in the second year of Taikang, but Guyuan Town has always been controlled by the Great Zhou! Tao Yan held Guyuan for three years with a lone army without being conquered, which is simply a miracle!
At the end of Fang Weihan's memory, Xie Lingwan was planning to lead troops out of Jiameng Pass and rescue Guyuan at all costs.

Without her participation, Tao Yunjiang would probably not have been pushed to the forefront of the times. Since Tao Yan was in Guyuan, she was probably there too.

Fang Weihan planned to pay attention to this matter in the future.

Now that he knew everything about Xie Lingwan and Tao Yunjiang, Fang Weihan began to look for Xiao Jin's impression.

To be honest, Xiao Jin's situation is much worse than that of Xie Lingwan and Tao Yunjiang.

Perhaps fate loves to play cold and cruel jokes. The happier and more fulfilling one's childhood is, the more one will have to pay back a thousand times.

When the Taikang Rebellion broke out, Fang Zun set the Changming North Palace on fire, and his whereabouts were unknown. The aristocratic family's internal collusion opened the Changming city gate, and the 100,000 imperial guards scattered like birds and beasts. The Sili School Lieutenant Xiao Yangwang and Xuanzhong Deputy Envoy Xiao Ji led the soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to break out to the south, but ultimately failed, and both died in the battle.

Xiao Fuwei, the commander of the Xuanzhong Guard, was in Luojing. He was extremely sad when he heard the bad news. He wiped the sword with his hand and cursed the shamelessness of the Secretary-General Wang Tun. After Luojing fell, he led the remnants of the Xuanzhong Guard to Lanling in Xuzhou to cover the migration of the Xiao family in Lanling back to Jinling.

At the ferry crossing in Guangling County, after watching the last group of tribesmen cross the river, Xiao Fuwei handed the Zhuye Sword and Xuanzhong Order to Xiao Jin, announcing her as the next commander of the Xuanzhong Guard. He went to Beimo Longcheng alone to assassinate Tuoba Shanyu, the lord of the royal court, and his life and death were unknown from then on.

And the time when he was killed by Xie Tao was also around that time.

In just a few months, Xiao Jin lost her father and elder brother who loved her the most, her second uncle who treated her like his own son... and her sweetheart.

The once innocent girl's temperament changed drastically. She became the withdrawn and cold person she was in childhood again, even worse than before.

She undid the seal on the Zhuye Sword, used human blood to refine her magic skills, and her cultivation level advanced directly to the eighth level. She became one of the strongest people in the world and truly possessed the power to change the world.

When Xie Lingwan was purging her political enemies, Xiao Jin was the sharpest sword in her hand. The Xuanzhong Guard under Xiao Jin's command was far more cruel and brutal than the one under Xiao Fuwei. Wherever Xuan Jia went, he killed them all. Everyone became the dead souls under Zhu Ye's sword, and became the nourishment for her to practice magic.

In the fourth year of Taikang, after Xie Lingwan completely controlled the Southern Zhou court, Xiao Jin led the Xuanzhong Guard to break with her. She took the last Xuanzhong Guard to Luling, vowing to avenge the one she loved.

This is where my memories of Xiao Jin end.

Fang Weihan's eyes felt a little sore and he felt mixed emotions.

Even though she knew that it was Xie Lingwan's father who killed her, Xiao Jin still chose to help Xie Lingwan. Even if it meant breaking off ties of friendship, she chose to do so after Xie Lingwan took control of the court.

In Xiao Jin's heart at that time, Xie Lingwan... might be the only person she still cared about.

Fang Weihan took out Mingyue Luhua and found Xiao Jin’s private chat.

Fang Weihan: "Where are you?"

The girl replied to the message almost instantly, and it was hard not to suspect that she was staring at the reed wreath.

Xiao Jin: "Huh, Brother Fang, are you still alive? I thought you were dead."

Xiao Jin: "You told Sister Wen about my situation and made me look bad. Are you very proud of it?"

The moment he saw her message, the anxiety and uneasiness lingering in Fang Weihan's heart slowly disappeared.

At least now... things haven't turned out like that, there's still a chance to save everything.

Fang Weihan: "Xiao Jin doesn't want me to die, I will live well."

Xiao Jin: “…Ah?”
