Chapter 562: Memorial to the Old Friends

Your Majesty, where have you been?
Facing Xue Changqing's question, Saatanti thought of the figure of the king and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She stood up on the roof, patted her hanging clothes, and then jumped directly from it.

Although he was not good at martial arts, but with his martial arts at the peak of the second level, it was not a difficult task for him to jump down relying on his light body skills. However, Xue Changqing, who had opened his arms and wanted to hug his wife, withdrew his hands awkwardly and pretended to be busy.

Saatanti asked, "Are those people looking for him?"

Xue Changqing said, "Sister, it's okay. It's Mr. Fangzi Qiao and Mr. Nan Hanwen who are looking for Your Majesty. Now that the situation has been pacified, all the heroes, generals and kings who dominated the world in the last era have passed away one by one."

"If the name is not right, the words will not flow, and if the words are not flowing, the things will not be accomplished."

"Mr. Nan Hanwen proposed that we establish a new country and establish a capital city, so as to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and inform the people, calling it the grand ceremony of founding a country."

"Before this incident, everything else was not so important."

Saatanti nodded and agreed with this statement.

For thousands of years, this generation of kings has swept through the troubled times, opened up an era, and gained justice for the country, which is unprecedented. Everyone is waiting for the king to settle the matter once and for all, and from a more solemn position, announce the end of the troubled times and the arrival of a peaceful world.

Of course, the "general amnesty" procedure that all previous emperors had had was cancelled.

How to deal with it.

His Majesty the Emperor Qin has an extremely powerful spirit that can accommodate the world for thousands of years, but his mind is narrow and he cannot tolerate many things. Since crimes have been committed, how can he easily pardon them? There is absolutely no such reason.

Saatanti thought for a moment and said, "I think His Majesty the Emperor Qin must have gone to see an old friend."

"Old friend..."

Xue Changqing opened his mouth, then fell silent. He touched the scar on his cheek and thought of his comrades. His expression was dazed, and there was already some sadness on his young face.

Saatanti looked gentle, holding her husband's hand. She stood beside Xue Changqing, looked up and remained silent for a long time. Along the way, the Qin Emperor walked and walked. For the ideal of world peace, he lost too much, and too many people left.

If you have this white jade, you need to chop it with a knife or an axe.

Many things in the world are not that simple and straightforward. They have swept the world head-on and accomplished incredible feats along the way, but on the other hand, they have also lost too much. The four words "alone and helpless" are so cruel to an individual.

The strong liquor scattered on the ground, and there was a strong smell of it in the wind. Li Guanyi, wearing a blue shirt and with his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, sat alone in front of a series of stone tablets, with the strong liquor scattered on the ground, as if he was meeting an old friend in person.

His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he seemed to see many old friends in front of him.

Parents, great-grandfather, grandfather, Master Wang Tong, Wolf King Chen Fubi, the twenty-four generals of the Taiping Army, his fellow soldiers who died in the battle, Yu Wenhua who died under his army, and Yu Wentianxian, the teacher who taught the wandering army the original military formation...

Jiang Gao, a good friend who was killed by Li Guanyi himself.

Ji Zichang, the confidant of the King of Qin, committed suicide by burning himself to make him emperor.

The thirteen-year-old Pharmacist Li, who only had silver and roast goose in his eyes.

Just like that, he moved forward step by step, lost step by step, and lost his youthful appearance in the troubled times and became the Qin Emperor who ruled the troubled times. Now the wine is still there, but the old friends are gone. After all, he is no longer a young man.

Old Sima Ming looked at the Qin Emperor's back and smelled the aroma of wine in the air.

Suddenly I thought of Guanyi City more than ten years ago, and that young boy with immature features. At that time, old Siming was climbing the wall and was blocked at the door by this boy. Now old Siming is standing here, looking at the lonely but arrogant Qin Emperor.

Time is like water flowing eastward, it will never come back.

One can never be young again.

Even if you have accomplished such great achievements and become the best in the world, what good will it do?

Old Siming suddenly felt a little desolate.

All the great men of the ages have been blown away by the rain and wind, and are gone.

All gone.

Li Guanyi, a martial arts legend, could clearly sense the old man coming from behind. He poured the wine on the ground, turned his back to Old Siming, and said to himself: "When I was young, I thought about half a roast goose. At that time, I certainly didn't expect that I would come to this point in the next ten years."

"Old senior, Li Guanyi has bloody hands."

"Now that we have come to this point, the world is at peace, and these old friends cannot bear to see it. At least we should greet these old friends with this year's newly brewed wine. Senior, would you like to drink a cup with us?"

The old Siming's face changed drastically, and he spat repeatedly, saying, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, young people are not trustworthy. This is the wine you drink with your old friend, not the wine you drink with me."

"I'm not dead yet, old man!"

"Don't curse me!"

Li Guanyi couldn't help but be amused by the old man. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Old man, haven't you seen through life and death? Do you still care about this?"

Old Siming said: "How can I not care?"

Li Guanyi smiled, was quiet for a while, threw the wine pot in his hand in front of him, and said: "Sometimes I still dream, and I still see old friends in my dreams."

"I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see them. People say that if you suddenly dream of someone, it means that person has begun to forget you. So what is going on now? All my old friends have dispersed. If I forget them, then a hundred years later, no one will know what they were like."

Old Siming looked at the figure in front of him and said softly, "No."

"They have their own place in the history of the ages."

Li Guanyi replied: "History has been passed down from generation to generation, but are you and I in it the real you and me? At least in history, for the sake of respecting the emperor, it would not record that the Qin Emperor was greedy and poor, right?"

The old Siming was speechless and just said:

"After that, will we announce to all the people of the world and establish the message of peace?"

Li Guan nodded, hummed, and said, "There are still many things to do. The era of peace has arrived. The rules and order that are completely different from the previous three hundred years will take several years, or even ten years, to be rolled out and announced to the people."

The old Siming said: "Then your wedding will also have to be announced to the people."

Li Guanyi said, "Yes."

The Emperor Qin stood up, turned around, and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "We have paid such a high price and made such sacrifices. We cannot stop or slow down on this matter. Nothing is more important than this matter."

"I want to go to the end."

"Only then can I say that I have lived up to the past ten years and my old friends."

Old Siming looked at his back and suddenly laughed and said, "Although this may corrupt your character, boy, I will not drink your wine for your wedding."

Li Guan was stunned.

His white hair swayed slightly in the wind, but he just whispered to himself: "As for me, all those old brothers are gone. Now Jian Kuang has also died, leaving behind the legend of riding a dragon to ascend to heaven. The old boy Xue Qingcang is in deep sleep."

"I don't plan to stay in Jiangnan, but I won't go far."

"I will travel in the country and world that you have opened up, see your world and your future, and then one day, find a place with beautiful scenery, find a small house, and stop there."

"In that small house, I lived very comfortably. There was a stone table and a wooden chair. One day, I got drunk and didn't get up."

The emotions in the Emperor Qin's eyes were intense yet deep, and he made no more attempts to persuade her to stay.

Just nod.

Old Siming laughed loudly, patted Li Guanyi on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, kid. Maybe when you are old, I will still be alive. At that time, I will come to drink with you!"

"According to martial arts legends, his life span is considered long."

"I just don't know who will survive in the end. Boy, let's go!"

Old Siming turned around and strode away, but suddenly he stopped.

Li Guanyi said: "Senior, wait a moment."

Old Sima Ming turned his head.

Li Guanyi suddenly raised his hand and threw a crystal stone, which fell into the hands of the old Siming. The old Siming was in a panic. He held the crystal stone and looked at it carefully. He was slightly stunned: "This is...!"

Li Guanyi withdrew his hand and said:
"This is General Xue's divine crystal stone. It needs a great formation to be restored." "The person who is best at the flow of vital energy in the world is none other than the senior."

"I will entrust General Xue to you, Senior. Please find a magical place. Perhaps General Xue can wake up in advance."

"At that time, I could have a drink and chat with my seniors."

Li Guan smiled and said:

"Old man, don't be irritated by Master Xue's mouth."

The old Siming looked at the crystal in his hand. He knew that Li Guanyi was almost forcing him to have a reason and goal to continue living in the human world. The old man chuckled, laughed loudly, and laughed out loud. He held the crystal and said happily:
"Good good!"

The old Siming turned around and walked away with big strides. He paused and suddenly turned his back to Li Guanyi and said:

"Emperor Qin!"

Li Guanyi looked at him.

The old Siming said loudly: "Goodbye!"

Li Guanyi said softly, "Goodbye."

The old man turned his back to him and waved his hand: "If I have free time someday, I will come and drink with you again!" Then, under the gaze of Li Guanyi, the old Siming strode away, humming an ancient ballad.

After leaving here, the old man casually boarded a boat and left.

But for some unknown reason, the boat suddenly started leaking when it was halfway through. Old Siming was horrified and cursed: "This is so unlucky, why is it leaking?!"

"Bitter!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have acted like Old Xue!"

"Damn it, not everyone is like that old guy, pretending so much..."

Old Sima Ming reached out his hand and grabbed his own black tortoise image, then threw it forward with all his strength. The black tortoise image spun in the air and landed on the water. The black tortoise image felt a jolt in its heart and knew that something was wrong.

This old guy brought himself out, it must be something bad.

Haven't reacted yet.

Old Sima Ming had already sat down on it.

He stuffed General Xue's secret realm formation stone into his arms and sat on the back of the black tortoise. The black tortoise paddled the water with its four claws. Old Siming also picked up a bamboo pole and paddled forward in the water. Even though Old Siming did not have any martial arts at the moment, it was natural for him to use the black tortoise's Dharma form to avoid water and move forward.

Having experienced the mundane world and the wars of the world, he looked up and saw the sky and the water merged into one. It was a truly refreshing scene. The wind blew over him, and his mind became open. The old man shook his hands, threw away the bamboo pole in his hand, clapped his hands, and laughed:

"In a prosperous and peaceful time, there is no limit to the joy of playing games."

"Green mountains and clear waters are my companions, and I look at the wind and clouds calmly."

"Don't go now, don't hurt my soul!"

"The world is connected!"

"Don't go now, don't hurt my soul!"

“Hahahaha, what a magnanimous and glorious moment.” Old Siming laughed, but with a hint of sadness in his face. He patted the old black tortoise and said, “Alas, the storms of the world started from the vast sea. On the day when the world is pacified, only you, my old brother, will accompany me.”

"He is truly my old friend who has shared life and death with me."

The old black turtle rolled his eyes wildly.

Is there anyone who sits on the back of his life-and-death brother? !

How can this be true?

Just as he was about to say something, the old black turtle opened his mouth, but was suddenly startled and felt that he had bitten something. The next moment, the old black turtle's eyes blurred and old Siming was also dragged forward on the water.

"grass!!!"

"You took the bait? I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

"You old turtle, let go!"

"We're old friends, let's live and die together! I won't let go!"

Old Siming and Old Black Turtle were horrified. Old Siming stepped on Old Black Turtle, pretending to be saying "You'd better die if you don't hold me back". The Old Black Turtle used its four short legs to hold on to Old Siming tightly, pretending that both of them would be hooked at the same time.

The water surface was rough, and the currents passing through gathered like a whirlpool.

After holding his breath for a while, he was pulled up by this force, broke through the water, flew into the air, and landed on the boat. The old black tortoise fell there, clawing at the sky with his four claws, while the old Siming lay on the ground, coughing violently, and then cursed:
"Ahem, you, you!"

"Which fisherman has no eyes?! Who is fishing for people?!"

The light voice said concisely: "My home."

The old Siming was stunned. He looked at the whale fisherman on the boat, who was wearing a green robe, had white hair and was holding a fishing rod. The corner of the old Siming's mouth twitched and he said, "You, shouldn't you be accompanying your daughter?"

The whale fisherman said calmly, "The world is peaceful now, she is safe with Li Guanyi. Besides, Xue's crystal is in your hands, and you are the only one who can rely on him. I'm afraid that if you get poor one day, you will use this guy's crystal to buy wine."

"Besides, is there any formation in the world that is better than mine?"

"With me here, that guy might be able to wake up sooner."

The old Siming was stunned, looking at the white-haired man, thinking about something, and suddenly laughed:
"Hahaha, are you worried about me?"

The whale fisherman's eye twitched.

"fart!"

The whale fisherman used his fishing rod to throw the old man back into the water and feed him with water.

Until the sunset appeared in the sky, the old Siming spread his arms, lay on the deck of the ship, his belly bulging, and smiled casually: "Ah, the old man thought you would stay here and help that little girl become a queen."

The whale fisherman's eyes were calm: "Queen?"

"Why bother to use this identity to detain Yaoguang? Some identities that are good in the eyes of outsiders may not be suitable for that girl. For her, this is not a good thing."

"My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I can't control so much."

"Let them be."

The old Siming glanced at him and said, "Is it because he can't control it, or did he try to control it by force, but ended up getting rejected, so he ran away from home out of anger?"

"Yo yo yo."

"Hey, you're already a grown-up, and you're still with a little..."

The silver-haired whale fisherman stood up with a stern face.

He strode to the side of Old Siming, lifted up his shirt, and kicked the guy whose mouth was second only to Xue Qingcang in terms of poison. This martial arts legend, who was born a beggar and whose mouth was third in the world in terms of poison, cursed:
"Want to cook fish?!"

Old Siming just laughed out loud:
Laughing and saying——

"Ahahahaha gulp gulp gulp!"

"Fuck, Baimao, you're really fishing..."

After the Qin Emperor conquered the world, he ordered all the gold and iron in the world to be gathered to cast the remaining Nine Cauldrons. At this point, the Jiuzhou Cauldron in his body finally underwent a complete transformation, and the very core of the Nine Cauldrons, which had never reached the highest point from the beginning to the end, was revealed before him.

The inner essence of Li Guanyi's spirit returned to the Jiuzhou Cauldron, and the luck ahead surged.

The nine tripods gathered together, and the white jade steps were spread out forward.

Walk forward slowly.
