Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"No, the most I can do is ask him to go on a visit to Leitania to buy you some time to get your affairs in order. He plans to leave on his own."

The Taifu sighed.

"why?"

"Why... I don't know why, but I know that if he leaves, it means he has either lost miserably or has won everything he wanted."

The old man sighed and looked at his old friend.

"Do you think it's the former or the latter?"

"...Why are you telling bad jokes now?"

The general used his knees to think and knew it must be the latter.

"But...what is his purpose? To overthrow Cai Yan and issue Longmen coins, is that all?"

"It's just that... Did you stop it?"

"Why should I stop it? Although I am not politically sensitive, I also know that these two things are good for Da Yan—"

Having said this, the general's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Look, you know it clearly yourself. You are enjoying the benefits brought by the other party while opposing Qiao Yelan - do you think other people are stupid?"

The Master asked quietly.

"Do you think those people would be willing to fight Qiao Yelan to the death with you, or wait for Qiao Yelan to come to Dayan with the next cake, and then sit there together, waiting for the food to be fed into their mouths?"

For a moment, there was only silence.

This is the most amazing thing about Qiao Yelan—he always has a piece of cake to share with others.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. It doesn't mean that if Qiao Yelan brings benefits, they will give something in return - but they will be jealous and think greedily about whether Qiao Yelan will bring new benefits next time.

So how could they bear to oppose Qiao Yelan?

There are few saints in this world.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

If you do not accept the benefits brought by Qiao Yelan and firmly oppose him - then you can only watch those who accept Qiao Yelan grow stronger and then actively start to oppose you.

If you accept the benefits brought by Qiao Yelan and still oppose him, even neutral people will think you are worse than Qiao Yelan.

The general opened his mouth. As a soldier, he still had his own principles and bottom line.

So he understood Qiao Yelan's methods more deeply.

"You don't understand the relationship between Qiao Yelan and Da Yan - Qiao Yelan needs Da Yan to exist, not Da Yan relying on Qiao Yelan to exist."

The tutor shook his head.

The general remained silent.

"I won't say that what you did was wrong, but I won't support you either. After all, Qiao Yelan is alive. Since he is alive, he will inevitably age and die. No matter how long it takes, this process will not change."

"With Qiao Yelan, Dayan will be able to move forward easily. However, if someone plans to move forward without Qiao Yelan and finds it more difficult, I will not have any reason to object."

The old man turned around and walked down the mountain.

"I will protect everything in Da Yan and do my best in my own way. The late emperor didn't tell me this plan back then, perhaps because he wanted to leave a little room for easing the situation..."

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"Second brother."

Ji called softly.

"Yeah, what is it?"

Wang responded, but his eyes did not leave the chessboard.

This is the street of a small town in Dayan. Two old men are fighting each other. A circle of people gathered around to watch the fun. They are all enjoying using their lousy chess skills to command the other party, and then getting beaten up by the old men.

Wang has defeated countless Dayan national players and seen countless chess records. He should not be obsessed with games of this level.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm watching chess - go buy me two buns, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"......walk slowly."

Ji bought the buns and handed them to Wang, who continued to eat while watching.

Until the end of the game, when the winner laughed heartily and the loser looked at the chessboard angrily, Wang withdrew his gaze.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I told you, I'm watching chess."

Wang was eating buns while walking and speaking incoherently.

"Could those two be the hidden masters of chess?"

"No, they are just amateur players."

"Then what's the point of watching their chess, second brother?"

Ji's face was full of confusion.

"You know the rules of Go, right?"

"Until, count the points."

"Yes, counting points - I have been studying chess all the time, striving to achieve perfection in every move. If I can gain half a point in every move, then I will naturally be invincible."

"Is this...is this possible?"

“I didn’t do that.”

I hope you speak very frankly.

“But I’m still invincible.”

"...I still believe in my second brother's chess skills."

"The important thing is not here. What's important is the truth I learned from watching the game of chess just now."

He waved his hand, not paying attention to his brother's compliment.

"If I can't guarantee that every move is perfect, then isn't it okay for the other party to play worse than me?"

I was stunned by what I heard.

What do you mean?

"The two old men just now were pretty good in the beginning, but after the 60th move, they started to make stupid moves one after another. But they still fought until the 200th move - that's because both sides made stupid moves."

Wang explained patiently.

"As long as either side plays normally, without seeking for clever moves, as long as they move forward steadily, they can end the game early."

"This... doesn't seem like a very profound theory, right?"

"You're right - but it's Qiao Yelan who's playing chess here, not us."

"so?"

"So we don't need to play by ourselves, nor do we need to give advice to Mr. Qiao - we just need to make the opponent play even more outrageous."

Ji was stunned.

"It's just an idea now... I already have some ideas on how to deal with the Sui Beast."

After eating the buns, Wang crumpled up the oil paper in his hand and was about to throw it into the trash can, but he seemed to have discovered something and unfolded it again.

"【Dong's Baozi Shop, thin skin and big fillings, address......】"

As he was reading, he suddenly laughed.

Then he crumpled up the oil paper and threw it into the trash can.

"Did you see that, Ji?"

"what did you see?"

“The words on this oil paper.”

"Of course I saw it."

"This is the progress of mankind... In the past, paper with words on it was so precious that even a piece of paper with a typo had to be burned with great care. Now, it can be left on this oil paper and thrown into the trash can at will."

Ji was silent for a while and did not respond.

Because the person who did this was also his sister.

"This is her credit... Although no one remembers it, it still remains so vivid in this world."

Wang said softly.

"I can't find her in my body... Did she really go back? Back to the body of the Year Beast?"

"...I can't think of any other possibilities."

"But if she had returned with everything, then why could this text be passed down between heaven and earth and be passed down by humans?"

"Nonsense syllables are spliced ​​into understandable language, meaningless strokes are intertwined into understandable words - this is what she left behind, she really left behind."

Ji was suddenly stunned.

There is no doubt that this was a part of the power that once belonged to Sui, and this power was passed on to humans by Jie in his own way. "

"She is right... If the power of [Years] is passed on to humans, humans will inherit this power and continue to explore, but [Years] will lose this part of power..."

The voice of hope is getting louder and louder.

"She didn't die, nor did she disappear - she completely gave her power to humans, so she lost the basis for her continued existence, and so no one else can remember her!"

"She is still here! The power of hers that I used was given to everyone by her, including me. Everyone - she just lost the power, but she must still be here!"

The man clenched his fists and roared with excitement. Ji even had to use his power to make others not notice them.

"Where would the third sister be?"

Ji's voice also carried a hint of disbelief.

"In the body of the Sui Beast - in the foundation of the Great Yan Capital!"

Wang showed an ecstatic smile.

"Compared to the Sui Beast, we are like the difference between a cup of water and rivers, lakes and seas. The only difference is that rivers, lakes and seas are dead and cannot move. So if we want to fish out this cup of water that has fallen into the river, the most important thing is not to stir the water again!"

"Only one more person can go in, only one more person can go in! Only I can bring her out intact - it can only be me, only me! Because I have practiced weapon spirit arts, my soul is the most resilient except for the old man's. I can withstand the devouring and assimilation of the old beast!"

Ji was stunned by his second brother's words.

"You...you want to be devoured?"

"Why not? That's what I'm going to do when I wake up anyway."

Although Wang's voice was joyful, it was unexpectedly calm. It was obvious that he was still thinking.

"For the sake of weapon spirit art, I cut my soul into pieces and made them relatively independent. If you give me a soul fragment and give it all your power, won't it be possible for the Year Beast to swallow me and think it has swallowed everyone?"

"So after swallowing it, he will definitely be a little lazy for a while, and will focus more on the battle with Da Yan in the outside world. I can take this opportunity to bring Jie out!"

"But...how are you going to get out?"

Ji was stunned by the plan, but he immediately realized the key problem.

"It's up to you."

"On...on me?"

"Yes, it depends on you. You have been using what you have woven. But the weaving process is the most important - it is the compilation of scattered things together, and this is your power!"

Wang grabbed Ji's arm with a burning look in his eyes.

"I want you to weave me and this flame together!"

PS: Since the Earth Tour purchased by the author has just arrived, I discovered the problem with the timeline. The biggest problem I have found so far is the birth time of Tallulah and Chen. Because of the author's previous sloppy plot arrangement, the birth dates of the two were postponed by 9 years...
