Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 811, Side Story 3: Bu Lianshi (Part 7)

As Bu Lianshi watched Sun Ren leave, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

In the years since she transmigrated, she never dreamed of such a situation!
She never dared to hope that he would appear here as well.

But fate played a cruel joke on her—

But he's here!
It has always been thousands of miles away from me, yet it is so close at hand.

Several times, she had doubted his identity.

But in the end, his own "logic" denied his existence.

Bu Lianshi covered his face with his hands.

She could no longer distinguish what kind of feelings she was experiencing.

So many years!
If I had ever had even one moment of doubt over all these years, I might already be pregnant with his child.

How could I be so stupid?

While Bu Lianshi was constantly blaming herself, Sun Ren rode his fine horse and, accompanied by several maids, headed straight for the council hall of Ye City.

There, Zhang Sui, surrounded by Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao, was watching several young girls dance.

These girls all had their faces painted an alarmingly white, which immediately reminded Zhang Sui of the putty powder from before he transmigrated.

Zhang Sui sighed inwardly.

Before the time travel, Aoi Sora, Maria Ozawa, Miyuki Nakajima, and Ayumi Hamasaki were all quite beautiful.

How could Japanese women at the end of the Han Dynasty look like this?!

Seeing Zhang Sui's lack of interest, Zhang Liao stopped the girls from dancing and called for the princess among them to join them.

The two whispered to each other for a while, then the princess bowed to Zhang Sui from a distance before calling the other girls to leave together.

Zhang Liao took out a scroll from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Sui, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I've asked the princesses to remove their makeup. Before that, I have something for you. These are three treasures that Queen Himiko of Japan entrusted me to present to Your Majesty."

Zhang Sui took the scroll with suspicion and opened it.

There was something hidden inside the scroll.

Not long after opening the scroll, Zhang Sui's eyes lit up.

It is a map.

To be precise, it's a map of all the islands near Japan.

These maps also mark the names of the various tribes.

Japan is still in a primitive stage.

On each small island, there are several, or even a dozen, tribes.

Himiko, as the queen of Wa, had no real control over these tribes; she was merely a symbol.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao quickly leaned over.

Looking at the map covered with densely packed tribal names, Ma Chao said with a headache, "Why does this place feel even more barbaric than the Western Regions? How can such a tiny place be considered a country? It's more like a village!"

Zhang Liao laughed and said, "It's not just the wilderness; the people here are... well, it's hard to describe."

“I discussed this with Qian Zhaoshang when I was in Liaodong.”

“This kind of wild and untamed land cannot be ignored, but it cannot be treated the same way we, the Han people, are treated.”

"Otherwise, the Xiongnu and Qiang people are their precedents."

"These barbarians fear power but not virtue."

"Our Han Dynasty has always been appeasement-oriented because we had no other choice; we were powerless to completely annex them."

"As for Japan, if we start from the source, educate children from a young age, impart a small amount of knowledge to them, control a very small number of their upper-class figures, and then let a very small number of upper-class figures control the vast majority of the lower-class figures."

"Let's not talk about a thousand generations."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Zhang Liao said, "At the very least, it is highly possible to make them cease resisting the king's rule for hundreds of years."

"That's why I brought their princess with me this time."

"Your Majesty, you personally bestowed a surname upon Queen Himiko, making her the most honored person in the land of Wa, and her servant."

"Furthermore, when the princess returns this time, she will bring back the basic laws that Your Majesty established for Japan."

"For example, the king may change, but every king of Japan in every dynasty must send his princess to our capital to receive the blessings of you and your descendants."

"The families blessed by the king are the most noble, the families blessed by heaven, and they have the potential to control the entire country of Japan."

"Under the King of Japan, the royal family is granted a noble surname by your successor. The nobles are responsible for assisting the King and his princess, and for managing the common people."

At this point, Zhang Liao took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Sui, saying, "This is the preliminary detailed regulation on the administration of Japan that Qian Zhao and I drafted when I came here."

"Your Majesty, you may take a look."

"Of course, Qian Zhao and I are both military officers, so we may not be very good at this aspect."

"The king can have the General Staff discuss and create a genuine Japanese law, and then have the princess take it back."

Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Liao with a rather strange expression. No wonder Zhang Liao was able to enter the Temple of Martial Arts in history.

Not only are they brave, but they are also very strategic.

Zhang Sui smiled and took the paper, saying, "Yes, yes, Wen Yuan, you and Qian Zhao are both good."

"Qian Zhao should be arriving in Ye City soon, right?"

"At that time, I will give one of you a chance."

“One man will continue to guard Liaodong and the three commanderies of Wuhuan, while the other will go north to expand the territory and become a king of a different surname.”

A smile immediately appeared on Zhang Liao's face, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, your subject Zhang Liao will absolutely not let you down! As for Qian Zhao, he recently slept with the princess of Goguryeo, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to leave."

Zhang Sui: "."

Zhang Sui did not pay too much attention to the matter of Qian Zhao.

He continued to unroll the scroll.

The second item tucked inside the scroll was a painting.

In the painting, under the bright moonlight, on an altar, a woman with a pale face, naked, is kneeling devoutly towards the outside of the picture.

Ma Chao's smile was quite lewd.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Sui, somewhat speechless.

Look, now the whole world knows about his lecherous tastes!
Zhang Liao laughed and said, "This is Himiko, the Queen of Wa (Japan)."

"This is what she originally looked like."

"She's over forty, an old woman, and a virgin all her life. It's said she has to serve the gods."

"According to the princess, the king does want to come and receive your baptism."

"However, considering that she was too old and might defile Your Majesty, she sent the sixteen-year-old princess to receive Your Majesty's cleansing."

Ma Chao stroked his chin and nodded emphatically, saying, "I'm getting old!"

“She looks nice in the painting, but she’s in her forties, old enough to be my mother.”

"Although our king is lustful, he does not desire every old woman."

"Isn't my sister better than this?"

Zhang Sui closed the portrait of Himiko.

It is indeed too old.

The man, who was in his forties, was covered in white powder, which looked quite frightening.

Zhang Sui continued to open the scroll.

Finally, it was also a scroll.

Zhang then opened it.

His expression changed slightly.

He saw the scroll signed "Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Great Qin Dynasty".

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun also hurriedly leaned their heads in.

Even the usually composed Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh, "Really? Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Qin Dynasty? It's said that he went to Penglai Island to seek the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, and then disappeared without a trace."

At this moment, a woman with a somewhat awkward voice said, "Xu Fu is my ancestor."

“When I was very young, I read the inscription left by him.”

"Back then, he was ordered by the First Emperor to go to Penglai Island to seek elixirs, but he encountered a huge wave at sea and suffered heavy casualties."

"He was forced to take a small group of people to the Laoshan area, where he married and had children."

"As his descendant, I have always wanted to return to my homeland."

“Our people came here during the reign of Emperor Wu.”

"However, Emperor Wu did not intend for us to return at that time."

“Our tribe has been attacked by other tribes and has almost been wiped out several times.”

"It wasn't until thirty years ago, when our new queen Himiko was born, that the whole of Japan was united."

"I was also chosen at this time to try to contact the Han Dynasty again."

"After that, we sent several more groups of envoys to the Han Dynasty, but due to the rough seas and the war, we were unable to make contact."

"Fortunately, the King of Ji has now ended the war and taken the initiative to contact us."

"This is also our long-cherished wish for hundreds of years."

"Now, although other tribes cannot come, I, as their princess, am able to represent them here, meet King Ji, and continue to be King Ji's subject in the future. If my ancestors knew this in the afterlife, they could rest in peace."
