Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 234 This time-travel mission is actually...

"Okay, okay, let's go buy some skewers."

Su Jiahe hadn't been to the night market for a long time. When she smelled the fragrance coming from the snack stalls, her stomach, which had just been full, started to growl.

Some time ago, in order to lose weight, she made a plan to run every night, but because of the night market, she gained three kilograms in a week, but her wallet became much thinner.

The three of them each took a handful of skewers and ate as they walked. After eating, they bought three large cups of freshly squeezed juice to fill their stomachs.

"It's too late, let's go back early." After Jiang Taigong had eaten, he felt sleepy and yawned.

After returning home, Jiang Taigong walked into the guest room and fell asleep. He did not go out until dawn the next day, then he put on his pajamas, opened the door and went to the living room.

"Excuse me, I ate too much yesterday and felt very sleepy, so I got up a little late today."

"It's okay, you should rest for a while. I just got up anyway."

Su Jiahe had gotten up early to wait for Jiang Taigong to go out, but when she saw that Jiang Taigong was still not getting up, she simply took another nap on the sofa. Now she was half asleep with messy hair.

"I am usually busy with government affairs, and I haven't been so leisurely for a long time." Jiang Taigong stretched, walked to the balcony, and basked in the warm morning sunshine.

"Hey, Jiang Taigong, you are over seventy years old and haven't retired yet. It's not easy." Wang Mang shook his head.

In the next few days, Jiang Taigong followed Su Jiahe and Wang Mang around to eat and shop, and also went to major wholesale markets to purchase many modern supplies.

"Oh, time flies by so fast. Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. It's like a dream."

On the morning of the seventh day, Jiang Taigong woke up and looked at the villa where he had lived for seven days, feeling reluctant to leave.

Several boys were already standing in a row with their bags on their backs, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Sister Su, you've traveled through time so many times, can you take us with you this time?"

"I heard that in ancient times there were many outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I really want to go and see it."

"We've asked for leave from school, so we'll just go for a few days, okay?"

"Okay, okay, you can bring up to ten people with you this time. We can go together." Wang Mang said, holding the Time Document in his hand.

"You, do you really want to go back with me?" Jiang Taigong was a little surprised. "Life over there is not as comfortable as here, and there are wars everywhere. You should think carefully."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, this is not the first time we have traveled through time. Besides, I promised you that I would send the things to you." Su Jiahe put all the supplies into the storage ring and took a final inventory.

"I've been here for so long, I also want to go back and visit my hometown." Daji also dragged her luggage and prepared to travel with everyone.

"Thank you very much, but everyone please be careful after you pass by."

In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and it was time for Jiang Taigong to leave. Wang Mang issued a time ultimatum, and in the blink of an eye, everyone linked hands and landed steadily in a small courtyard together.

The courtyard was decorated in a simple, quaint style, surrounded by a bamboo fence, with bundles of firewood piled in the corner and a low thatched house in the center. In front of the door lay a small river, its shallow water flowing slowly.

"So this is what it feels like to travel through time. It's as if nothing happened and it just came here in a flash." Liu Ziluan looked around curiously.

"Everyone, this is where I live. Come in and sit down."

The door panel was pushed open by Jiang Taigong, making a creaking sound.

"No way! With your status, you live in such a house? King Wu of Zhou is too stingy." Wang Mang said in disbelief.

"Alas, please do not speak rashly of the king. The world is not yet settled. As the prime minister, I must be frugal."

The group entered the house and found it sparsely furnished, containing only a mat with a small table and a few stools on it. "Jiang Taigong, what year is it now?" Su Jiahe asked.

"You forgot, Jiang Taigong said that King Wu was about to attack King Zhou, and it should be the last year of the Shang Dynasty." Wang Mang reminded hurriedly.

"Oh? According to what Brother Wang said, Xiqi will be able to capture Chaoge and take control of the Central Plains this year?" Jiang Taigong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, that's how history would have unfolded," Wang Mang said. "I've been so busy showing you around these past seven days that I forgot to talk to you about history."

"By the way, what task will the system give us this time when we travel through time? Will it be to help Xiqi overthrow the Shang Dynasty?" Su Jiahe whispered to Wang Mang.

"I don't know, but King Wu's conquest of King Zhou was a success. Perhaps we have another mission."

As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, Su Jiahe heard the system prompt sound.

[Current time travel: 1046 BC, Shang Dynasty]

[This time travel mission is to rescue King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, before the Shang Dynasty falls.]

"What did you say?" Su Jiahe thought she had misheard.

[This time travel mission is to rescue King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, before the Shang Dynasty falls] The system mechanically repeated it again.

After receiving this system task, Su Jiahe was stunned.

Whether in history or in novels, King Zhou is a villain. Why does the system ask you to save him?

Did the system "betray" or are there some unknown secrets hidden in real history?

As the sun was setting, two of Jiang Taigong's attendants prepared dinner and brought it to the small table. There were only a few crude earthenware bowls filled with lumps of something half yellow, half white.

"Everyone, my place is not as good as the later generations. I hope you can forgive me for my poor hospitality." Jiang Taigong politely invited everyone to dinner.

"What is this?" Su Jiahe used chopsticks to stir the food in the bowl.

"This is the corn of this era," said Daji.

Corn is today's millet, but the millet of the Shang Dynasty was different from today's millet. Not only was its color much darker, but its texture was also very rough. Su Jiahe was too embarrassed to refuse, so she swallowed the rice ball whole, thinking of it as a way to remember the bitter past and think of the sweet future.

"Everyone, please eat your vegetables." Jiang Taigong picked up some green wild vegetables from the clay pot and put them into everyone's bowls. Su Jiahe took a bite and almost spit it out.

Although the wild vegetables tasted okay, the coarse salt in them was salty and bitter. Everyone looked troubled and had a hard time swallowing them, only Daji was enjoying it.

"I haven't tasted this flavor for a long time. I miss it."

For a moment, Su Jiahe even understood why King Zhou pursued pleasure. If he were to eat such food every day, he would probably go crazy in a few days.

"Jiahe, please take out the things we brought." Wang Mang couldn't help it anymore.

Su Jiahe took out some food from the ring, and the two servants were immediately attracted by the aroma.

"What is this thing that tastes so strange?"

Everyone finally had a full meal, especially the two servants, one gnawing on a chicken leg while the other stuffed his mouth with braised food, enjoying the meal very much.

After dinner, the sun was almost setting. In those days, there was no nightlife, and candles were very rare, so the night was dark and quiet.

"Everyone, please go to bed early. I have to go to court tomorrow morning. Would you like to come with me?"
