[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Half a year later, Zhaoyang went to see Yingli.

Yingli stood in front of the hut in plain clothes, smiling and nodding at her.

"Lulin is inside?" Zhaoyang said in a low voice.

"Go in and meet her, she has something to tell you." Yingli said.

"Okay," Zhaoyang replied, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lulin half lying on the bed with his left sleeve hanging down empty.

Lulin followed Zhaoyang's line of sight and smiled reluctantly: "Long time no see, Zhaoyang."

"Long time no see." Zhaoyang sat on the stool beside the bed.

Both of them fell into silence for a while, and after a long time, Lulin spoke again: "I forced Yingli to stay by my side for half a year, but I still couldn't keep his heart, Zhaoyang, you won. I will never be better than you in his heart s position."

"I have never competed with you, so how can I win."

"That's right, I've been competing with you all the time." Lulin Nannan said, in a voice that was almost inaudible, "Yingli knows everything. It's me who made you unable to come back, and it's me who caused you and him." I didn’t meet you. When you asked people to come to my house to look for me, I was clearly in the room, but I hid on purpose and didn’t go out. Let my father lie to him that I was not there. You missed each other. I was the one who stopped Yingli from destroying the The criminal record left in the government also caused him to go to jail."

"But I just love him so much, you left so hard that I had a chance! Zhaoyang, can you forgive me?" Lulin straightened up and grabbed Zhaoyang's hand nervously, "I'm sorry, Zhaoyang I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

It was the first time Zhaoyang knew that Yingli was imprisoned because of this incident. She looked down at Lulin's slightly trembling hands and said, taking a deep breath and said: "Lulin, there is no forgiveness between you and me. Unforgivable things. You didn’t do anything wrong. If it’s true, I’m much worse than you. I’ve never believed you since I became King Liu. Looking at you. The moment I learned of Yingli's death, the first thing I did was busy figuring out the next step, thinking about how to use you to help me find Yingli, and thinking about how to use Yingli's death to force Qing shirt out."

"My heart is much more ruthless than yours." Zhaoyang patted Lulin, "I'm such a bad woman, I don't deserve your apology to me."

"In the days to come, you can live a more chic life."

This was the last sentence Zhaoyang said to Lulin. In the following 1000 years, Zhaoyang never saw Lulin again.

Liutai once asked Zhaoyang what kind of country he wanted to build.

Zhaoyang has never thought about what kind of country is good. This question has never been answered in her mind. Some people think that there are no disasters, and it is good to be ordinary, while others think that it is good to be rich and wealthy.Zhaoyang thought hard and couldn't figure out why, but suddenly one day she figured it out, no matter what it is, as long as the country continues to improve, it will be good.No matter which direction it goes, there is no one direction where you can see the end at a glance. Maybe she is dead before she forgets the end.

"Let's build the richest country, not an ordinary one. I want to make Liu Guo the richest among the twelve countries, so that everyone can live a happy life even if they don't work." Zhao Yang said.

At first, some people felt that Zhaoyang's goal was too unrealistic, and Liu did not have gemstones to mine and sell like Zuoguo, so how could he get rich just by relying on wood.

But later, Liu Guo slapped those people hard and resoundingly.

Liu Guo, which implemented the New Deal, has only seen a state of prosperity for the first time in only 50 years.

In the past 50 years, the Zhaoyang Daxing Chamber of Commerce has set up official positions specifically for the Chamber of Commerce.Since ancient times, no king has dared to do this.Although this approach was opposed by many people, the six officials were all Zhaoyang's confidantes, and even if there were objections, they could only let it go.

For businessmen, being able to live forever is such a great temptation. Compared with this, money is insignificant, something that you can’t take with you in life, so many people want to join the chamber of commerce .Besides Wang's promise, as long as [-]% of the profits are handed over.You can live forever and make money, so why not do it.

However, the competition in the chamber of commerce is also extremely fierce. Su Su is the chief secretary, and Zhaoyang can be regarded as a person who can give full play to her talents, allowing her to maximize the essence of a profiteer. However, in just a few years, the treasury has been plentiful, and everyone has seen it. Here, there are all sorts of strange ways to make money.

Hundreds of years later, the country of Liu is so rich that outsiders can only say, "People are stupid and have a lot of money."

Zhaoyang not only emphasizes business, but also emphasizes medicine. With money, what kind of research cannot be done.She still remembers the boy who could only wait to die slowly because his leg was scratched by the sharp claws of the demon.

Regardless of whether it is Haike or Shanke, as long as the medical skills are good enough, Zhaoyang will try his best to find them and let them concentrate on research.

As long as she works hard, she believes that one day a complete medical system can be established.

Liu Guo was getting better day by day, and the smiles on the faces of the people gradually increased.

With capable subordinates, Zhaoyang gradually became more relaxed.One day, she took Liu Qi down to Weifu for a private visit as usual.

But on the street, I ran into an unexpected person.

Time has left traces on his face, and Zhaoyang didn't recognize it at first glance, until the moment he passed by, he said: "Zhaoyang."

The excitement in the old voice could not be concealed, Zhaoyang remembered the name of the old man standing in front of her after a while: "Yixin."

"It seems that you are doing well." Yi Xin hunched over, talking, and walked side by side with Zhaoyang to the side of the road.

"I'm doing well." Zhaoyang replied, "How about you?"

"I'm fine too. Look, this is my son. He has also become the Zhu family now." Speaking of his son, Yixin's tone was full of pride, and he introduced Zhaoyang to Zhaoyang who was following him. people.

Zhaoyang glanced at the person behind him, who looked almost like Yixin when he was young, and praised: "That's right, it has the demeanor of yours back then. Oh, by the way, this is Liu Qi."

Who else could directly call Yiguo Qilin Liu Qi besides King Liu? Yixin was only momentarily surprised. He had long thought that Zhaoyang's appearance had not changed until now, so it must be due to his different identity.Liu Guo has become so good now, it seems that she is doing very well.Yixin smiled gratifiedly: "As expected, I was not mistaken, you are an amazing person."

After chatting for a few words, Zhaoyang said goodbye to Yixin. On the way back, Zhaoyang looked at the sparkling sea of ​​clouds and fell into deep thought.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Liu Qi asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Zhaoyang came back to his senses, "I was wondering if time would pass so fast, and 50 years would pass before I knew it." Shang Long once said that 50 years is a mountain. Unconsciously, he stepped over.Perhaps she herself has lived longer than 50 years.

"By the way, Liu Qi, do you want to change your name?" Zhaoyang suddenly mentioned this matter for some reason.

This was Wang's recognition of him, and Liu Qi was so excited that he kept saying yes, he had long since let go of his predecessor Liu Wang Lufeng.

"It's better to call him Shan Yu." Zhaoyang smiled at Shan Yu.

In the long time to come, you are the only one who can accompany me all the time.

Liu Pingping has walked steadily for 600 years, and when the people of Liu State were immersed in the joy of the celebration, the Phoenix of Wutong Palace sent a message: "The sound of playing the country, the king of Zong died."

This state of play, which lasted for more than 1200 years, has since withdrawn from the stage of history.

"I heard that the son of King Zong killed his father himself. Now that the puppet dynasty has been established, we are waiting for the new king to take the throne."

"Yan country over there." Changyi said worriedly.

Now Yan Kingdom has reached its peak, and Zhaoyang still understands the truth that prosperity must decline, but Zhaoyang is not worried: "Don't worry, I understand Shang Long's temperament, he will never compare with Zuo Guo Will give up."

Just as Zhaoyang said, the Yan Kingdom lasted until 1300 before it began to decline.

When I saw Liu Tai again, he had already suffered from the disease of loss of morality, his body was covered with gray spots, and he found it difficult to even speak while lying on the bed: "It seems that I have to go one step ahead of that idiot, Zhaoyang, I will ask you in the future gone."

"You." Zhaoyang said helplessly, Qilin is such a benevolent creature, he still thinks about his people until he dies.But she couldn't agree to the Sixth Wife's entrustment, "Hold on for a while, Sixth Wife."

After speaking, Zhaoyang left.

In the past few hundred years, she and Shang Long have been together less and more apart, and she can't keep Shang Long just because of the relationship between them.Only by letting him experience what he has never experienced before can he cheer up again.

The only thing Zhaoyang can think of is a child, and often the most ordinary things can retain the hearts of the people the most.

When Zhaoyang walked into the bed with the child in his arms, Shang Long was sitting on the bed wiping the sword in his hand over and over again, seeing the child in her arms, he said, "Why are you holding a child?"

Zhaoyang threw the sword in Shang Long's hand aside, forced the child into Shang Long's arms, and sat down next to him: "Anyway, you are going to die, we tied a red ribbon on the wood, I always wanted to I want to give it to the child, but because we both have things to do, we haven't mentioned it, since you don't care about it, why not spend the rest of the time like this."

Shang Long was not very willing at first, but he couldn't resist Zhaoyang's soft-heartedness, so he agreed to come.

Day by day, Liu Tai's body is getting worse day by day.

Zhaoyang was also anxious, and just when she was about to accept her fate, the child finally called out in Zhaoyang's long-awaited: "Father."

Shang Long held the child's hand in a daze for a long time, and it took an unknown amount of time before he reluctantly picked up the child Zhaoyang had never picked up.

When the sound of father reached his ears, a feeling that he had never had before and that was difficult to express surged in his heart. This feeling was very strange. Obviously this child had nothing to do with him, but he suddenly I had the urge to watch her grow up, to see her get married.

He hugged the child, went outside, looked at the already decadent palace, and sighed: "Zhaoyang, you are really broken to the bone."

"Isn't that right. Who told you to fall in love with a bad woman." Zhao Yang tilted his head and smiled at Shang Long, with wicked eyebrows and a treacherous smile.

Just when everyone thought Yan Country was about to come to an end, and Qingdu, a neighboring country, was ready to accept a large number of refugees, Yan Country unexpectedly came back to life. It has never seen a defeat like this before.

This shocked everyone so much that their jaws almost dropped. Should it be said that he is King Yan?

It happened that Liu, who led the country, was so rich that he had nowhere to spend his money. In just a few years, he helped Yan Guo rebuild the country.

Just when everyone was wondering, nursery rhymes spread in the streets and alleys of Yanguo.Liu Wang and Yan Wang had already had an affair.For a while, this nursery rhyme spread to twelve countries.

"My Heavenly Emperor, who spread the word about this?" Zhaoyang strode into Liu Tai's bedroom with windy feet. Lying in bed.

"Everyone is saying that the idiot Shang Long married a good wife, why are you so angry?"

"But this is fornication, fornication!"

"What's the matter? It's fine if others don't think so. Haven't they all changed into good knots?" Mrs. Six said while nibbling on an apple, and then said after a pause: "Zhaoyang, why do you force Shang Long to stay? I think enough is enough, Shanglong has done a good job."

Zhaoyang's tone suddenly became serious: "Liu Tai, I didn't do this for the sake of geese. Don't forget that I am Liu Wang. No matter what time, Liu Guo is always in front. I am not a king, but Liu The reason why I can go so far is because the wild goose walks in front of the willows, illuminating my path like a bright light. This is what I have been relying on to go so smoothly and without hindrance. Once the wild goose falls I can’t hold on for long, do you understand what I said, so I selfishly let Shang Long stay. It’s for the willows, not the geese. You should remember this clearly.”

After saying these words, Zhaoyang got up and left, walking very gracefully, she felt that the way she turned around must be very handsome.

The sixth wife looked at Zhaoyang's leaving back and muttered in a low voice. "What, I think you are more suitable to be a king than that guy Shang Long."

The annual ring of life turns round and round. How long did Liu Guo and Yan Guo support each other? It can only be said that in the history books of the Twelve Kingdoms, there is no king who reigned longer than this. The king of Weiyan is even longer.
