everyone was silent
Prime Minister Wang thought for a moment, then stood up and cupped his hands apologetically to everyone.
"Everyone, this old man can't hold his liquor properly, so I'll go rest for a while. Enjoy your meal first."
After saying that, he waved at Gu Bai."Changshou, help me to the guest room!"
Gu Bai hurriedly walked over to support her. He understood that some things could not be said in person.
went to the study room
Gu Bai helped the Prime Minister sit down first, then poured a cup of tea for each of them. No one spoke.
"Changshou, do you know how I've been through all these years?”
Perhaps it was because he was drunk, Prime Minister Wang seemed to have fallen into his memories and began to tell the past.
Gu Bai didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
"When I was born, Great Qin was still a medium-sized country in the East Continent. Because it was backed by Poisonous Dove Ridge and Cold Mountain Ridge, countless Great Qin soldiers died at the mouths of the demons every year."
" When I was 15, a venomous snake demon led 100,000 demon beasts in Hanshan Ridge and wiped out the county town I lived in. At that time, I was studying in the prefecture academy and luckily escaped."
"All my family and friends are dead. What's the point of living alone? I want to commit suicide in my heart."
"It was fate. Lord Tai Bai, who was passing by, stopped me and helped me kill that poisonous snake demon. After that, I followed him. He taught me many things along the way."
"My days with Lord Taibai were the happiest. Under his leadership, Great Qin's human race became unprecedentedly united, and they made Great Qin the most powerful Kingdom in the East Continent. At one point, the Demon Race of Poisonous Dove Ridge and Cold Mountain Ridge didn't even dare to come out."
"I thought that we would continue to be strong until two years ago, when the previous Emperor suddenly died in battle and Lord Tai Bai disappeared. At that moment, the sky of Great Qin turned dark.”
"We've long since gotten used to the previous Emperor and Lord Taibai. With them around, all problems were easily solved, and after they disappeared, Great Qin, which seemed to be united, fell into chaos."
" In order to not let Lord Taibai's efforts go to waste, I supported Her Majesty to ascend the throne. Among the previous emperor's children, only she had the ability to protect the Great Qin Empire. In the past two years, Her Majesty did not disappoint and settled the civil strife in just two years."
Gu Bai looked at Prime Minister Wang as he spoke, and tears began to flow down his face.
I want to comfort you
inappropriate
It was better to let him say it. It would be more comfortable to say it.
"Chief Guardian, before coming, we had always wanted you to become an official in the Imperial Court. We hoped that you would be like Lord Taibai and lead Great Qin to the peak of the East Continent."
"However, your words made me change my mind. I shouldn't limit your talent to Great Qin; your talent should shine throughout the entire Cloud Mountain World. If Lord Taibai had gone further, his achievements would have been even greater."
paused for a moment
Seeing that the Prime Minister's tea had gone cold, Gu Bai hurriedly changed a cup of hot tea for him.
He put down the teapot and shook his head slightly to comfort her."
"No one can say for sure what everyone will achieve, and the future will only be known after they walk it. Perhaps Lord Taibai won't be able to live as well as Great Qin after walking out?”
Prime Minister Wang nodded slightly without saying a word.
"Prime Minister, don't think too highly of me. I just want to walk every step of my path, and I won't regret it. Even if my achievements aren't satisfactory, at least I've worked hard."
Gu Bai said. He didn't think too much about it.
However, after he finished speaking, the Prime Minister suddenly stared at Gu Bai with his eyes wide open.
He frowned slightly, pondering over the meaning of Gu Bai's words.
This made Gu Bai feel a little awkward.
Why aren't you talking?
Gu Bai looked around the room and saw that there was no one else. He pinched his chest slightly and tightened his shirt. This old man's gaze was too strange..
After a while, Prime Minister Wang finally came back to his senses.
"Changshou, what you said just now contained some inexplicable logic. I have some insights, so I delayed a little.”
Prime Minister Wang said.
What he said was the truth. Gu Bai's casual words just now had indeed made him feel that something was different. It was as if many of his thoughts had been cleared up.
As for what it was, he couldn't figure it out for a while, but he felt that it was very interesting.
Old people are like this. If they think it through, they will live a few more happy years. If they don't, they will live a few more bitter years.
"Changshou, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let me tell you about the situation in the East Province."
It could be considered as an elder imparting knowledge and experience to the younger generation.
Right, why do you always say those sensational words?
Couldn't he have said something practical earlier?
With Prime Minister Wang's vivid explanation, Gu Bai gradually understood the situation in the East Province.
Apart from Great Qin, the East Continent had 81 other Kingdoms, and the size of their territories varied. The largest Kingdom was as big as a Great Qin Prefecture, while the smallest Kingdom was as big as a county. Even the strongest Kingdom only had a third grade Confucian or martial artist.
In any of Great Qin's Prefectures, one or two Rank-3 experts could be found, and any of the Prefectures was comparable to their most powerful country. Great Qin had 72 Prefectures, and there was also a Rank-5 Great Scholar guarding the Capital's Palace of Literature. Even if the 100 countries of the East Continent joined forces, they might not be able to resist Great Qin.
In addition to humans, the East Continent was also occupied by the demon clans of Poisonous Dove Ridge and Cold Mountain Ridge. Each ridge had many demon sages comparable to sixth-grade Confucians.
The human race and demon race were divided into the East Continent. The human race and demon race were at loggerheads. They fought all year round and no one would let the other off.
This made Gu Bai wonder. The strongest person in Great Qin was only a Fifth Stage Confucian, while the Demon Race had many Sixth Stage Demon Saints. Shouldn't the Human Race have been destroyed long ago?
Prime Minister Wang noticed Gu Bai's confusion and explained,
"It's the Human Emperor!"
"The Human Emperor has issued a decree to the Heavenly Axiom, forbidding powerhouses above Rank-5 from interfering with the human and demon races."
Heavens, the Human Emperor was that strong?
Gu Bai took a deep breath, his heart pounding.
Still, anyone who heard that their elders were powerful would have a great sense of honor
Even when Prime Minister Wang mentioned the Human Emperor, his bitter face revealed a smile."
" The Human Emperor is our sky. Wherever the Human Emperor is, our roots will be there."
"Mayor, I will support you if you choose to cultivate in seclusion. I will also convince His Majesty to support you."
Gu Bai hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands in salute,"Thank you for your help, Prime Minister."
"Yes, after the imperial examinations, prepare well for the examination in the ancestral land a year later. However, I believe that you will be fine.”
Prime Minister Wang said.
"I will do my best," Gu Bai said sincerely.
This wasn't just for show, because his ambition was to provide powerful firepower support to those with great merit in the entire universe. If he didn't do his best, how could he have the strength to complete it!
As Gu Bai chatted with the Prime Minister, he realized that it was getting late. Thinking that the Imperial Examinations would be held in a few days, Prime Minister Wang felt that it was better not to disturb them.
"Changshou, the road of life is long. Don't care about temporary gains and losses. Move forward and look forward. The future is yours."
"Alright, stop talking. It's already late. We'll talk again after your examination."
Prime Minister Wang walked out of the inn under Gu Bai's confident gaze.
