Chapter 150 We are not strangers
Chapter 150 We Are Not the Same Kind of People
Half a month later.
On the thousands-mile ice field, Chu Zhao and Yue Yao were running forward.
Although it is midsummer, this thousand-mile ice field is still bone-chilling and bitingly cold, countless times colder than the snow-capped mountains outside the sky. It seems that anything can be frozen into a popsicle in just a moment. The entire ice field is filled with a dead silence, giving people a great feeling of terror.
"This ice field is interesting." Chu Zhao murmured to himself, unable to hide the smile on his face.
Although this place is extremely cold and bitter, it is filled with rich energy of heaven and earth. If he is given half a month to concentrate on practicing, he feels that it will not be a problem for him to break into the half-step spiritual realm.
Moreover, Chu Zhao had a hunch that this ice field would be the key for him to enter the realm of divine wandering.
"What's interesting about it? This ice field is very terrifying. Even a brave horse will be deterred and dare not move forward again. No one has ever walked out of this ice field. It seems like there is no end. Langyue Blessed Land is the limit of how far we can go." Yueyao was already struggling to walk in the freezing wind and spoke with rapid panting.
Chu Zhao grabbed her hand and injected his inner strength into Yue Yao's body. He said speechlessly, "You are the eldest daughter of Tianwai Tian after all. You can learn advanced martial arts at will, use natural treasures at will, and have the guidance of masters. But your strength..."
The words were not continued, but the meaning was already clear.
Fortunately, Yueyao has gradually become accustomed to Chu Zhao's sharp tongue and can occasionally fight back.
So after feeling Chu Zhao's inner strength entering her body, like a warm current flowing through her body, and finally being able to speak comfortably, Yue Yao said in a sarcastic tone: "You are born with a martial vein, and your martial arts talent is one in a million. How can a loser like me compare with you, His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Does Yueyao have poor talent in martial arts?
Compared to the natural martial veins, there is definitely no comparison.
But looking at the whole world, he is also a first-class existence in the world, almost like the Eighth Young Master of Beili.
However, with such a talent in martial arts, at the age of twenty, he is still among the top masters. What does this mean?
It just means that she didn't work hard enough.
Chu Zhao is not bragging. If he were Yue Yao, he would have no problem reaching the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, at least the Free and Easy Earth Realm.
“Haha, even if I am not born with a martial vein, I will definitely be stronger than you in the same situation as you. Tianwaitian has given you a stable environment, but you don’t know how to cherish it.”
Chu Zhao shook his head and said with emotion: "Women always complain about this and that, and never look for the reasons in themselves. The reason why you are not strong is not because you are not talented, but because you are lazy."
What is the most infuriating thing? The truth is the most infuriating thing.
Yueyao was angry. She shook off Chu Zhao's hand and quickened her pace forward.
Chu Zhao ignored her and followed slowly behind her, practicing Kung Fu as he walked, melting the vital energy of heaven and earth in this place.
His mind was completely immersed in cultivation, and he unknowingly overtook Yueyao. He didn't notice that Yueyao was walking with great difficulty, and gradually stopped.
When he came to his senses, he realized that Yueyao was nowhere to be seen, so he had to hurry back to look for her.
When Yueyao was found, she was frozen stiff, with frost all over her brows and hair.
He quickly took off his cloak and put it on him, and at the same time injected his inner energy into his body to warm it.
After a busy period, Yueyao finally recovered.
"Chu Zhao, you bastard!"
Yueyao cried bitterly and punched and kicked Chu Zhao to vent her grievances.
After all, it was his own mistake, and Chu Zhao didn't feel like fighting back, but he wouldn't let Yue Yao punch and kick him either, so he simply dodged and waited until Yue Yao stopped before he apologized rather awkwardly.
"Sorry, I was just practicing and forgot about you. How about I let you hit me a few times to vent your anger? But don't go too far!"
"you……"
Yue Yao was so angry that she grabbed Chu Zhao's hand that was giving her internal energy and bit it.
Yueyao stopped talking when she felt the faint smell of blood in her mouth. She said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Why didn't you resist?"
"It's okay. After all, I was the one who left you on the ice field."
Looking at Chu Zhao's indifferent smile, Yue Yao felt a little angry for no reason, because she could feel that there was a sense of alienation in that indifferent smile.
Yueyao stopped talking and let Chu Zhao lead her forward, her mind constantly recalling the recent scenes of their time together.
After a long time, she suddenly asked: "Do you hate me?"
When Chu Zhao first met Yue Yao, he really looked down on her and felt deep contempt for her in his heart.
It's just that people are emotional animals. In the past half month, not only have people arranged his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but they have also shown concern and cared about him from time to time. His mentality has also changed a little.
His attitude towards Yueyao now is that other people's Beique affairs have nothing to do with me, the Prince of Xichu. He treats Yueyao as an ordinary passerby, is polite to her, and does not make friends with her.
Chu Zhao didn't expect Yue Yao to ask this out of the blue. He was stunned for a moment, "Uh... I can't say I hate you."
Yueyao smiled bitterly: "I thought we were friends."
"We are not from the same place."
"why?"
Chu Zhao asked back: "Why do you think we are friends?"
"We are both royal families of fallen nations. We have the same experience. Most importantly, you understand me very well. I know that you, like me, do not want to see our former subjects suffer again."
In Yueyao's opinion, there are no two people in the world more suitable to be friends than them.
Chu Zhao shook his head: "I want to restore my country, but you have actually given up the idea of restoring your country. You and I are destined not to be on the same path, and it is impossible for us to become friends."
Yueyao expressed her incomprehension: "Now the people are living and working in peace and contentment, why do we have to restore the country and let the people who have finally settled down experience war again?"
Because there are system tasks.
Of course, it is impossible to say this to Yueyao.
In addition to the system tasks, he also has other reasons to restore his country.
"You can give up, but I can't, because I told you that you Beique and we Xichu are different."
"What's the difference? We have all experienced the pain of separation and death. Why do you want to let this pain befall your subjects again?"
Yue Yao became more and more excited, but this time she did not shake off Chu Zhao's hand: "War requires countless lives to fill the gap. Countless families have been destroyed and their homeland has been lost. You know that rebuilding a new home is the right thing to do, so you built a new home for your subjects of Western Chu, allowing them to live a stable life in Yuelu City, right?"
"You guys in Tianwaitian are quite well-informed."
Yueyao was a little embarrassed. She had sent someone to investigate only after she heard Chu Zhao invite Gu Chen to Yuelu City.
Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.
It turns out that Yuelu City is already stronger than Western Chu was back then, standing apart from the other two countries, and has become a paradise for the survivors of Western Chu.
That's why she agreed with Chu Zhao and told him her true thoughts.
Because Yueyao believed that she and he were the same kind of people, they were both the kind of people who could give up hatred for the sake of their subjects.
Seeing Yueyao's expression, Chu Zhao suddenly realized and said, "I forgot that you were also present when I invited the Confucian Immortal to Yuelu City. It seems that you sent someone to Yuelu City to investigate."
Yueyao nodded: "So why do you want to restore the country?"
Chu Zhao was silent, organized his words, and said: "Back then, it was the three countries of Xichu, Beique, and Nanjue who first attacked Beili. Although each had different reasons, the fact is that we lost, and the loser should accept the reality. As the eldest princess of Beique, I have no objection to you just giving up the idea of restoring the country, but I can't. My people are still living in dire straits. You only saw the Xichu people in Yuelu City, but have you seen what the Xichu people in Beili are like?"
Yes, it was Western Chu that took the initiative to attack Beili, but at that time Western Chu had been forced into a desperate situation by Beili. You know, Western Chu was originally a dynasty, but under the gradual encroachment of Beili, it became a small border country. If it continued to endure, the end result would also be the destruction of the country.
Since we are all going to lose our country anyway, we might as well give it a try while we still have some strength.
Therefore, his father joined forces with Nanjue and Beique to start a war.
In Beili's opinion, Western Chu was the initiator of this war and the people of Western Chu should be punished most severely.
In addition, in the ninth year of Tai'an, which was the ninth year of Taihe, the prophecy from the Beili Imperial Observatory made the already miserable lives of the people of Western Chu even worse.
“Beili treats our people of Xichu differently from its attitude towards you, the people of Beique. If... I mean if, Beili can treat our people of Xichu the same way it treats you, the remnants of Beique, I will not restore my country. But the fact is, our people of Xichu are worse than dogs in Beili. So Xichu must be restored. Whoever stands in my way will be killed.” Chu Zhao’s tone was calm, but in this calmness there was a resolute determination.
Yueyao was silent, but Chu Zhao was not silent.
"Miss Yueyao, I've told you that Xichu and Beique are different. To be frank, except for some of the Beique survivors in your Tianwaitian, you Beique people were broken by Beili in the war fifteen years ago, but we in Xichu are not like that. Even though our people in Xichu are worse than dogs in Beili, we are standing, while you Beique people... have already knelt down."
As the eldest princess of Beique, Yueyao was angry when she heard Chu Zhao belittle her subjects in this way.
"Why do you say that?"
Chu Zhao said calmly: "Although every time you leave Tianwai Tian, you will go to see the homeland of Beique, but have you really understood the Beique survivors living in those lands?"
Yueyao remained silent, because she really hadn't looked into it in detail.
"Have you seen the miserable conditions of our people in Beili? Do you know what they think after experiencing those miserable conditions?"
She didn't even have a deep understanding of the survivors of Beique, so how could she possibly care about the survivors of Xichu? She could only remain silent.
"Let me tell you, the taxes imposed by the Beili court on you Beique people are twice as much as those imposed on the Beili people, but you Beique people not only think that there is no problem, but you also take the initiative to pay more money and grain, as well as corvée labor and so on of the Beili court. They are all eager to do it. You can see for yourself that we Xichu people are worse than dogs, but you Beique survivors are eager to serve the Beili people as dogs."
Chu Zhao slowed down and continued, "Of course, I don't deny that there are still some people with backbone among you Beique survivors, but these people are too few. Although there are also people in our Xichu who work as dogs for Beili, they are very few. Even after the past fifteen years, the Xichu people living in Beili are still proud of their identity as Xichu people. This is the difference between our Xichu and Beique. If you don't believe me, you can take some time to go and see it."
During the fifteen years, many people of Western Chu died, but the backbone of Western Chu was not broken. Chu Zhao always believed that even if there were only three households left in Chu, the one who would be destroyed would be Chu.
"Humph, of course I'll go and see. Who knows if you're lying to me?"
Yueyao was just being stubborn, but she already believed Chu Zhao's words in her heart...
"Miss Yueyao, I know you don't want war, but war is unavoidable. Beili wants to annex Nanjue, and Nanjue also wants to go north. There are also the barbarians to the north of Beili, the Hu people to the west of Yuelu City, and the Thirty-Six Buddhist Kingdoms in the Western Regions. Therefore, this world cannot be stable unless our Western Chu or your Beique recovers its country."
Yue Yao agreed with Chu Zhao's point of view and sighed, "Is there no way to keep this world stable for a long time?"
"Yes, I have."
"What method?" Yueyao asked hurriedly.
"Unify the Central Plains, build a powerful empire that foreign races dare not invade, and then let this empire transition to a democratic country."
Yueyao understood the first half of the sentence, but not the second half, so she asked, "What does a democratic country mean?"
"I told you, but you still don't understand. As a woman, you shouldn't get involved in national affairs."
"You look down on women?"
No, no, no.
I don't look down on women.
I look down on you.
With such little ability, you still care about the peace of the world.
Wouldn't it be nice to follow your little lover Baili Dongjun and live out your romantic days?
Chu Zhao was secretly complaining, but he said, "A great martyr once said that women hold up half the sky. I certainly don't mean to look down on women, but I just think your personality is not suitable for participating in this kind of thing. You should just go and live a simple life with your little brother Baili."
After saying that, Chu Zhao secretly said, "Oh no!" Then he heard Yue Yao grit her teeth and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean you and your little brother Baili are going to live a good life?"
Chu Zhao's mind raced, and he instantly thought of a suitable excuse.
"I looked at your and Baili Dongjun's faces before and found that there is a marriage between you, but the ending may not be very good. It can be considered a bad fate..."
Before the word "fate" came out of his mouth, Yueyao raised her little fist and started hitting him, cursing as she did so.
"I let you talk nonsense, I let you talk nonsense..."
After being hit twice, seeing that Yueyao had no intention of stopping, Chu Zhao let go of her hand, dodged and kept some distance, and said with a stern face: "Don't go too far, or I will leave you on this ice field to fend for yourself."
"Chu Zhao, you bastard!"
"How am I an asshole? When Baili Dongjun called you Fairy Sister, weren't you very happy? You even made a promise with him that I would come to find you when you became famous. Tsk tsk, my teeth are sore."
Although his appearance changed some trajectories, some things remained unchanged.
For example: the agreement between Yueyao and Baili Dongjun.
Yueyao was furious: "I...I...didn't, don't talk nonsense, I just..."
Chu Zhao took over the conversation: "You just thought that he was also born with martial veins, and wanted to use him to help your father practice the virtual mind skill."
"You clearly know this, yet you still say that to me. I have absolutely no romantic feelings for Baili Dongjun."
Not now, but in the future...for Baili Dongjun, I can let go of all the national hatred and family feuds.
Love-brained, so awesome!
Chu Zhao laughed: "Why are you explaining to me? What happened between you and Baili Dongjun has nothing to do with me. But when I take back Lausanne City in the future, I hope you won't stand in my way, otherwise don't blame me for not appreciating our friendship today."
Yue Yao was so annoyed that she said angrily, "Why did you want to link me and Baili Dongjun together? The Baili family not only has a grudge against you, Xi Chu, but also has a grudge against my Beique Yue family. How could I possibly like Baili Dongjun?"
"Who knows? Let's go."
Yueyao didn't move and stretched out a hand.
"what?"
"Hold me and give me your internal energy, otherwise how can I leave?" Yue Yao said as a matter of course.
"I really owed you something in my previous life."
Chu Zhao said this unhappily and stepped forward to grab Yue Yao's hand.
Just when the two hands were clasped together, Yueyao smiled suddenly, as if a cloud suddenly flew over and stayed on her face, her pretty face was like the morning glow.
"why are you laughing?"
Yueyao didn't know what she was laughing at, but she just wanted to laugh happily, and said, "I'm happy to let you be humiliated, and let you keep bullying me."
"Big sister, how did I bully you? Please stop talking nonsense, okay?"
"You bullied me in Qiandong City, and you still bully me after returning to Tianwaitian. You made delicious food for Yueqing and made kites for her, but never called me. You also said I was stupid behind my back and wanted to dig Xin'er and Baifa to Yuelu City. Don't think I don't know. And before, you left me on the ice field, and just now you ruined my reputation by saying that I like Baili Dongjun?!"
"Wait a minute, what do you mean I made delicious food for Yue Qing? I made it for myself, and you ate it, too. And Zhi Yuan, I made it for Er Ya from Aunt Fu's family... No, why should I explain so much to you? Let's go."
