Chapter 409 A Solid Backing

The death of contestant Wu Lei was reduced to a sigh in the fields before vanishing with the wind.

Tian Ye quickly put that aside and started talking to Lin Xiaohe about horse racing with great interest.

"They have fine horses from Jiuyuan, strong and muscular. Alas, if it weren't for the battles of Changping and Handan, we could change a different horse every day without repeating one."

The ancestors of the Zhao royal family were skilled in horse breeding, horse management, and horse judging since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

It was precisely because of such abundant warhorse resources that King Wuling of Zhao was able to successfully implement the adoption of nomadic-style clothing and cavalry archery. After the reforms, a powerful cavalry force, the Zhao Border Cavalry, was established.

Despite suffering two consecutive defeats, the State of Zhao was still able to repel the Xiongnu, Loufan, and Linhu for thousands of miles.

Lin Xiaohe listened expressionlessly, but her thoughts drifted to the Civilization Trial Grounds.

She keenly sensed that this trial must have a deeper purpose.

In just 10 seconds, she figured out what the Civilization Trial Field was trying to do and how she could break the deadlock.

However, she doesn't know much about the history, culture, and social development of the Warring States period, so she needs outside help.

Her deep eyes gazed at the mountains at the edge of the fields, as if piercing through a testing ground of civilization, meeting the gaze of the Eastern Kingdom.

……

Bai Kaixiu is a renowned scholar who studies the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

These past few days, he's been as happy as a fool, not eating or sleeping, while simultaneously having students record the content of the Civilization Trial Grounds on their phones and frantically comparing the details.

"So it's true that Lian Po gave away all his wealth! Wow, Handan is really big. No wonder it was once the largest city among the seven kingdoms."

"Hey? Let me see, what are they growing?"

"Oh my! So this is what furniture looks like in the homes of royalty and nobility."

It's so awesome! It's incredibly awesome!

Haha, we have to analyze it frame by frame.

Just as he was immersed in his research, there was a knock on his door, and in the blink of an eye, he and his research team were packed up and put on a plane.

The massive transport plane occupied the middle of the six lanes, its outstretched wings sweeping over the green belt and low guardrail, almost monopolizing the entire 12 lanes in both directions.

Bai Kaixiu's lips were deathly pale, his mind filled with only one thought: He was innocent! He had neither defrauded the country of research funds nor accepted foreign research funding.

He was just a diligent and ordinary historian!
"Professor Bai, time is of the essence, please."

The soldier who spoke was quite nice; he handed Bai Kaixiu a blanket.

The blanket was new, fluffy, and felt great, which slightly calmed Bai Kaixiu's tense mood.

The team quickly ran up the ramp, almost without any delay. The ramp rose rapidly, accompanied by a huge roar. Bai Kaixiu had just fastened his seatbelt when he felt a noticeable acceleration.

The transport plane has taken off!

Bai Kaixiu's students stared at their teacher expectantly, like a flock of chicks. What's going on? Aren't we history researchers? How did we get arrested?
Bai Kaixiu looked around. On both sides were long rows of seats, filled with fully armed soldiers.

Several armored vehicles of different models were parked at the front of the five- or six-meter-long passageway.

This is terrifying!

Bai Kaixiu's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were trembling. His lips trembled as he stammered, "Comrade, what exactly did I do wrong? Can you tell us? I'll change, I swear to God, I will definitely change!"

Although I don't know what I did wrong, the police came to my door, so I must have done something wrong.

No one answered Bai Kaixiu's question; everyone's expressions were tense and their eyes were solemn, which made Bai Kaixiu dare not speak again.

Half an hour later, the plane landed in the capital.

The fully armed soldiers in the cabin stood up, the cabin door opened, and Bai Kaixiu and his team were stuffed into armored vehicles, surrounded by dozens of soldiers on all sides.

After a brief jolt, several armored vehicles started up simultaneously and slowly drove out of the cabin along the street.

After several transfers, Bai Kaixiu entered a conference room that was several hundred square meters in size. The conference room was filled with the buzzing sound of conversation.

Bai Kaixiu was led by a soldier to a seat near the center, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Old Bai?"

"Lao Meng!"

Bai Kaixiu's eyes welled up with tears. It was wonderful to meet a familiar person in an unfamiliar place!
"What's going on?" Bai Kaixiu was bursting with rage. If he hadn't been thirsty, he probably would have wet himself.

Old Meng arrived earlier than Bai Kaixiu, looking slightly relaxed: "It shouldn't be a bad thing. Look, there are so many familiar faces."

Bai Kaixiu looked around.

The venue has three floors, and they were sitting on the first floor, so they couldn't see what was happening on the second and third floors.

Judging from the appearance, the entire venue can accommodate at least 3000 people.

The first floor was bustling with activity, filled with Chinese people of yellow skin. Bai Kaixiu recognized many of them, including historians, agronomists, and literary figures…

There are all kinds of people.

"Everyone..." There was no sound check, no formalities, no speech from the leaders.

Professor Liu picked up the microphone and said directly, "Time is of the essence. The main purpose of inviting everyone here is to discuss how to help the contestants from the Eastern Kingdom successfully pass the Civilization Trial."

The venue, which had just quieted down a little, immediately erupted in noise again.

A young scholar with dyed blonde hair raised his hand: "Is the Dongguo government the organizer of this conference?"

"Yes. The final conclusions of the meeting will be submitted to the emergency command team. This concerns our entire Eastern Kingdom and the entire Blue Star. I hope everyone will speak freely without any reservations."

The young scholar's eyes lit up, and he pressed on, "Is our Dongguo planning to use the second opportunity to seek external assistance?"

"Correct."

"But we all know that the contestants from Dongguo have had their memories erased. Who can we contact? How can we contact them? Will they trust us?"

Professor Liu pressed the earpiece, seemingly listening to the person on the other end. After a few seconds, he said firmly, "We will contact Lin Xiaohe."

Many people stood up excitedly, and even Bai Kaixiu raised his hand high.

Professor Liu: "According to our investigation, there is a 40% probability that Lin Xiaohe has retained her memories. Even if she hasn't, we believe that given Lin Xiaohe's intelligence and alertness, she will definitely listen carefully to our advice after communicating with us."

The name Lin Xiaohe means miracle, it means the possibility within the impossible.

Bai Kaixiu finally grabbed the microphone: "What do you need us to do?"

Professor Liu pressed a button on the remote control, and the conference hall requested a huge curved display screen.

The screen displays a dense array of statistical data.

Professor Liu said in a hoarse voice, "A total of 30 contestants from the Eastern Kingdom entered the trial arena, scattered across seven countries, with different identities. As of today, a total of 13 contestants have died due to illness, starvation, accidents, and other reasons."

“Taking contestant Wu Lei as an example, not counting his teachers and classmates, his extended family has a total of 302 members. Including his teachers, classmates, and neighbors, the number of people who could be indirectly connected with Wu Lei and whose lives would be affected by his death is between 5 and 1.”

A large secondary school can have several thousand faculty and staff members.

Wu Lei's primary school, middle school, university, and workplace involve an even larger number of people.

1 people, that's a very conservative estimate.

Some people in the venue had already thought of this. The death of each contestant would greatly affect those around them.

During the Warring States period, there were countless causes of death: war, forced labor, poverty, and the oppression of the privileged class…

If one's relatives and friends were to die as a result, would one's views on this period of history and on the First Emperor change?
At that time, will the people of the Eastern Kingdom still be able to summon the Ancestral Dragon with the same unwavering unity and strong conviction they displayed in the trial grounds?
This is awful. A girl who only watched 3 minutes of it gave me a one-star rating, and my rating dropped to 8.9... I'm so upset.

Please give me a five-star review so I can get it back to 9.0.
