Chapter 251 Wanted time traveler? Forced to go to the peach banquet!
Qin, Xianyang.
The city wall made of divine iron shimmers in the bright sun, and the sunlight is stacked in the cracks of the bricks in an orderly manner.
The city guards posted a new wanted notice on the city wall, and many passing citizens gathered around and looked at it carefully.
"This is..." Some city residents said in surprise: "Isn't this Mr. Yan? Why is he also wanted? Is this Mr. Yan also an anomaly??"
For a time, the people at the gate of the city were in an uproar, and there was a trend of anger. This Lord Yan is a good man. He has promulgated many policies to benefit the people just after he became the Xianyang Order!
When the city gate guard saw many people shouting and yelling, he immediately explained in a low voice:
"This is the order issued by the Arctic Heavenly Court to hunt down these people. Of course we are just doing it for a show, just going through the motions!"
The angry people finally calmed down, and an aunt carrying a vegetable basket said:
"Tianting Qi! My family's ancestral teachings say that immortals and gods are not good things. In ancient times, Saint Lu once asked the immortals about their sins!"
Someone nodded in agreement, pointing to the four or five portraits posted on the city wall and said:
"Are these the people that Lao Shizi wants to arrest? They must all be good people! After all, Master Yan is among them!"
The people all echoed loudly.
Yan Huang was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, his face shrouded in shadow. He stared at the four or five portraits on the city wall for a long time, sighed softly, and walked into the city silently.
After a series of twists and turns, he walked into a flat courtyard. Wang Zhiyao waved his hand:
"Senior Yan!"
Four or five people in the courtyard also stood up and saluted Yan Huang.
If you look closely, you can see that most of these four or five people are people posted on the city wall and ordered to be arrested by the Arctic Heavenly Court.
Yan Huang took off his bamboo hat and said in a deep voice:
"Now it is basically certain that the Arctic Heavenly Court should have captured a person who also came from this world, and he identified us all."
After a pause, he added:
"Because the people he identified were all quite famous in this world. For example, Chen Shu has not been arrested yet."
Several people looked at each other and suddenly realized that this was really the case.
Needless to say, Yan Huang and Li Yutong are the current chairman of Longque Technology and the other is the Speaker of the Federation.
Among the remaining four, Wang Zhiyao, Zhang Jifeng, and Lu Chongtong are also famous geniuses.
Only Chen Shu, who has no reputation in this world and no one knows him except acquaintances, has also not been arrested by the Arctic Heavenly Court!
At this time, a dying old man slowly walked out of the back room, and six people, including Yan Huang and Li Yutong, bowed to him:
"Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Liang pressed his hands and said calmly:
"As I said, there is no need to be so polite. You should be more careful recently. The First Emperor was invited to heaven to attend the Peach Festival. I suspect that the Arctic Heaven may take the opportunity to send heavenly soldiers down to the lower world."
"No way?"
Yan Huang's expression condensed:
"Heavenly soldiers and generals are not allowed to enter Xianyang."
"What if?" Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "And even if the heavenly soldiers and generals are really unable to enter Xianyang, once the First Emperor leaves, someone in the temple may take action."
"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" Li Yutong's expression changed slightly.
Zhang Liang coughed lightly and stroked his long beard:
"Actually, I don't agree with what Yan Huang just said. I'm afraid it's not that someone was arrested, but that someone 'snitched' to the Arctic Heaven."
Several people's expressions changed.
Zhang Liang continued:
"As soon as Yan Huang became the commander of Xianyang, he was immediately ordered to be arrested by the Arctic Heavenly Court. He had served as the commander of Xianyang for more than 20 years, but nothing happened. I am afraid that this appointment has touched someone in the temple. The interests of these people, and they happen to know that you are from the 'future'."
Yan Huang's expression darkened and he thought:
"But if it is according to what you said, wouldn't it be that someone in the court has taken refuge in the Arctic Heavenly Court??"
"Of course." Zhang Liang nodded: "Emperor Xuanhuang has been missing for more than thirty years, and the immortals and Buddhas in the sky have become more and more restless. I'm afraid it is not a good thing for the First Emperor to be invited to attend the peach banquet."
He sat down in the chair:
"And I just got the news that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu also escaped from prison on the same day that the First Emperor went to heaven."
Everyone's expression changed again.
Zhang Liang’s eyes were profound:
"According to what you said, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu overthrew the Qin Dynasty, and they were indeed entangled in calamity. There must be immortals behind their escape, and a high-ranking official in the temple was the culprit."
After a pause, he exhaled softly:
"Speaking of which, are you sure that in the original history, I would really assist Liu Bang? And I would also have a good death??"
"That's right!" Everyone came back to their senses and nodded in unison.
A look of confusion appeared on Zhang Liang's face:
"Then Liu Bang didn't show any great courage in his actions. Before he was caught, what were the similarities and differences between Liu Bang and a local ruffian? Will I assist him?"
There was another sentence that he kept in his heart but did not say. In his previous life, he was trapped for a hundred thousand years and then started over again. In his previous life, he was beheaded by Duke Huan of Qi and died, but he did not survive.
This life is also a life of calamity, how can it possibly end well?
Yan Huang was pacing back and forth at this time, saying as he walked:
"If it is true, as you said, that there are people in the temple who have taken refuge in the Arctic Heavenly Court, then we only need to wait until His Majesty the First Emperor returns and ask him personally who told him about the future history, and we may be able to find out!"
"Maybe." Zhang Liang stood up and said calmly: "I still suggest escaping from Xianyang first, or going to the place where the immortal you mentioned is."
"You mean"
Everyone's expressions changed. They learned a few days ago that the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain had also come to this era.
Li Yutong pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke:
"It's not impossible. The Heavenly Master and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals lost their trace after a fight, but I guess he must have gone."
He and Yan Huang looked at each other and said in unison:
"Longhu Mountain!"
"Longhu Mountain?" Zhang Liang asked curiously: "Where is this place? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Of course you haven't heard of it. It was a name for the mountain that came later. But the name came later. The mountain should always exist."
Yan Huang smiled and said:
"Although the landscape of this era is completely different from that of later generations, and is countless times wider, some of the ancient sacred mountains are still there. Based on the calculations based on the orientation of Mount Tai, we can probably know where Longhu Mountain is today."
"It won't be too late." Zhang Liang said, "Then let's go find Longhu Mountain first."
Everyone nodded and immediately put on their hats. Zhang Liang and Yan Huang took the lead, followed by Wang Zhiyao, Zhang Jifeng, Lu Chongtong and Chen Shu. Li Yu fled out of Xianyang together with Li Yu.
Many big names in Xianyang actually noticed it, but they turned a blind eye and pretended that they had never seen it.
Only in a certain mansion, a high-ranking official opened his eyes, sneered for a moment, remembered the direction of the escape of several people, and immediately wrote down and sent it out, letting the sacred bird carry it and fly to the North Pole.
The great master looked sideways at the person coming from the future beside him, and said calmly:
"So far, Heaven has not caught even one of the 'travelers' you call them. If you continue to think about them and identify them, you will not be able to identify any new ones."
The middle-aged man looked bitter:
"Sir, more than thirty years have passed. I really don't remember very clearly. I only remember these famous people in this world."
The wealthy man lowered his eyelids:
"It's okay. If you can't answer, I will hand you over to the Arctic Heavenly Court."
The middle-aged man's expression changed again. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a phoenix cry that echoed through Xianyang.
The wealthy and middle-aged man in a mysterious robe subconsciously looked sideways.
But I saw a real phoenix galloping from the horizon, pulling the emperor's chariot, accompanied by Qingyun, auspicious and other visions, and there were all kinds of dark colors, the sky was shining, and the treasures were like rain.
There are five hundred heavenly soldiers on each side holding guard of honor, turning the silk umbrellas, hanging down the charm, just like curtains, accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels like thunder waves, shaking in all directions!
Yan Huang and others who had just left Xianyang were shocked when they saw this scene. Zhang Liang whispered:
"What I expected is true. The real phoenix pulls the chariot, the heavenly soldiers serve as a ritual, and a great immortal god descends to catch you. Let's go, go quickly!"
They fled frantically.
At the same time, in Xianyang City.
"That's..." Dapin, who was wearing a mysterious robe, was surprised: "It's so grand. Which emperor from heaven is coming to the mortal world in person??"
While he was talking to himself, in the huge city of Xianyang, one by one, great people were flying up into the clouds, their precious light shining everywhere.
More than a dozen great masters formed a line, and then thirteen true dragons took to the air, all of them being great masters, and they all protected Xianyang City behind them!
"May I ask the Immortal, what is the purpose of coming here?"
Qin Mugong, who stayed in Xianyang City to take charge of the overall situation, shouted loudly, his expression extremely solemn. The other great figures such as Wu Anjun, Lu Buwei, Li Si, etc. were also preparing for war and were ready.
As the imperial chariot approached, laughter came from:
"What, you don't recognize me?"
Amidst the laughter, the great masters saw the person sitting on the imperial chariot through the visions of Qingyun, Xiangrui and so on. It was a young man with a simple bronze mask on his face.
"Xuan Xuan Huang Wu God??"
The expressions of all the ministers changed and they all saluted. The real dragons also shivered and made a prostrate posture.
These courtiers now all know the details of the Taishan Incident more than thirty years ago. They all know that it was the emperor who had been missing for thirty years who raised his hand and touched an ancient Buddha to death!
Moreover, it is said that this person also received the title of Heavenly Court Immortal and was personally named an Emperor by the legendary Heavenly Court!
The emperor's chariot slowed down and Lu Xuan stepped out of it. Dressed in black ancient clothes, his voice rustled in the high-altitude wind. He said calmly:
"Where's Zheng'er?"
The great ministers looked at each other. Duke Mu of Qin looked at the emperor who had been missing for thirty years for a long time, and then he cupped his hands and said:
"Returning to the emperor's words, Zheng'er was invited by the heaven to go to the peach feast yesterday."
"Peach feast?"
Lu Xuan was surprised, while Nezha on the side explained sadly:
"A grand event held once every ten thousand years in the Heavenly Palace is hosted by the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi. Famous and promising immortals and gods from all over the world are invited to participate in the event, where they can eat peaches, drink immortal wine, and watch the goddesses dance together."
He looked shabby, but that was normal. He was stopped by Emperor Fengdu and forced to wait in the underworld for thirty-two years. Anyone like this would also look shabby.
Lu Xuan frowned:
"The peach festival invites immortals and gods, why do you invite Zheng'er?"
The courtiers looked at the emperor carefully. All the dignitaries were wearing mysterious robes. Zhao Gao took a step forward and said respectfully:
"Returning to the emperor, how do we know what this immortal is doing?"
Lu Xuan frowned and nodded, feeling that something was wrong, and then asked about the past thirty years, but did not get any answer.
For more than thirty years, the First Emperor worked conscientiously, and there was no obvious conflict between the world and heaven, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Duke Mu of Qin seemed to have remembered something, and continued to look at Zheng'er Zhongfu who appeared out of nowhere with suspicion for a moment.
Over the years, he had often asked Zheng'er about the origin of his so-called father-in-law, but Zheng'er always just smiled and said nothing.
After thinking for a while, Duke Mu of Qin added:
"Just a few days ago, the Arctic Heavenly Court issued several decrees one after another, asking heavenly soldiers and generals to enter Xianyang and arrest some people. Zheng'er refused, and Hou Zheng'er personally issued an arrest order."
"Going into Xianyang to capture someone?" Lu Xuan was curious and asked, "Who are you capturing?"
"I don't know exactly." Qin Mugong shook his head, with a look of disbelief on his face: "But there are rumors that they are all people who know the future, and Yan Huang, the commander of Xianyang, is among them."
Lu Xuan's expression suddenly darkened, and Nezha, who was looking unhappy at the side, widened his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan calmly said:
"It's interesting. Where are those people now?"
"I don't know." Qin Mugong replied simply.
Lu Xuan glanced at him and didn't say much. Instead, he smiled and asked sideways:
"Nezha, am I qualified to go to that peach feast?"
"You are in a first-class immortal position and are an emperor. Naturally, you have it. It's just that you haven't received the invitation."
Nezha hesitated for a moment and said:
"It was because you had been missing for thirty years."
"Can't you go without an invitation?"
Lu Xuan turned back to the imperial chariot and said indifferently:
"I will go to the heaven. Speaking of which, I seem to have an imperial palace in the central heaven."
After saying that, he did not talk much with these courtiers, and drove the imperial chariot and galloped away in the direction of the heaven.
All the big names were left looking at each other in shock.
