"Old man, why are you so shy? In our place, it's normal for men and women to wear short-sleeved shirts, shorts and tank tops. You just lost your trousers!"
"Yes, you are open, and we are backward."
The old man thought about it, tied his belt, and sat quietly on the stool in front of the table.
"How do you know? Old man, you are not in the general's mansion, why are you here? Is this the Purple Flame Country?"
"I can be wherever I want, why do you have to control me? Anyway, I will show up when I am needed. Eh! I don't understand why you came in the middle of the night and why did you come to my room?"
"I don't know! Isn't it daytime in South Vietnam? Why is it the middle of the night here? After I chanted the spell, it sent us here directly. How would I know what's going on?"
"When it's daytime in Nanyue, it's nighttime in Ziyan Country. You don't know anything, yet you dare to do whatever you want. Didn't you add a specific place when you chanted the spell?"
"I don't know! Others didn't tell me that I had to add the specific place, and I don't know the specific place of this Purple Flame Country! Can you blame me for this? Humph! Blame your predecessor for being unreliable! You let me come here, but you set a trap for me. I'm done with it. I'm going back to Nanyue. Old man, when I go back to Nanyue to chant the spell, do I have to add the Protector of the Nation General's Mansion, the Rose Courtyard, and the Boudoir... like this?"
"That's the theory. The more detailed it is, the less likely it is to go wrong. What! You want to go back? No, no! No one will clean up the mess Ning Zhenzhen left behind. You can't leave."
"Old Zhuge! Who am I? What am I doing here? And who are you? What are you doing here? Find out before you talk to me!"
"You are just a little girl, what's the point of calling me a mother? Hehe, you are here to be the monarch, that is, the empress. In the Purple Flame Country, you are called the Holy Monarch or the Holy Emperor. As for me, I am the Protector of the Country."
"What does the Protector of the Nation do?"
Shangguan Yue glared at Zhuge Bucai and said.
"That's right. I am responsible for the health of the Holy Lord. I must ensure that the Holy Lord is safe and healthy, and that he successfully gives birth to a prince and princess. I also have to ensure the health of the Emperor's husband, the princes and princesses, and the emperor's grandchildren. Occasionally, I have to go to other countries to serve as a national teacher."
"Oh! So busy! Then the part-time doctor in my general's mansion is really a waste of talent."
"That's different. That's your home, Saint Lord. I have to be close to you to take care of your health!"
"With your acting skills, there's no need for you to stay in the General's Mansion all day. The Lingxiao Grass in the General's Mansion is the reason why you don't want to leave!"
"Saint Lord, you are really amazing. You can see this. But the Lingxiao grass is really a very precious and priceless treasure! How did you grow it so well?"
"As for the method, I'll tell you later. Just be obedient."
"What do you mean I just need to be obedient? I am the protector of the Purple Flame Nation. If you want to listen, you should listen to me."
"Then I am the Holy Lord, the Emperor of the Purple Flame Nation. Do you think it is appropriate for you to let the ruler of a country listen to you, a doctor?"
“This…” doesn’t seem right, but…but he really can’t find any reason to refute it, but it has always been like this!
"Hey! I want to ask you something. Why am I suddenly so strong? My mom is also so strong, but my dad hasn't changed."
"Oh? You've awakened?" Zhuge Bucai circled around Shangguan Yue in surprise.
"What do you mean by awakened? This happened to me after my mother and I drank the water boiled with the Lingxiao flower, but it wouldn't happen to other people after they drank it!"
"Well! You are really lucky to have awakened so quickly. You are the king of Purple Flame, and you need to make certain contributions to Purple Flame before you can awaken your divine power. Your mother is connected to you by blood, so she will also have a certain amount of divine power, but it will be much weaker than yours, and she will have fewer other skills."
"Other skills? Isn't my father my biological father? My mother has them, why doesn't he have any?"
"He just provided a seed. Your mother spent ten months nourishing you with her blood and flesh. She fought against all kinds of accidents and human factors to give birth to you. She risked her life to give birth to you. Who do you think deserves the greater credit? This is not something I can control. It is determined by heaven. As for other skills, it depends on your own abilities."
"Am I not the chosen one? To be the emperor, I have to work like a slave, otherwise I will die. Before I die, I have to bring someone back with me to take my place. You are really the skinning king. You don't even consider whether others want to be the emperor or not, and whether they agree to it?"
Forget it, it would be contradictory to say too much. She came here voluntarily to be the emperor today, and no one forced her. But who knows if someone will use some means to force her in the future?
"Others want to be the emperor but can't! You still despise them? Those who are incapable will be eliminated! What's the point of dying or not? They were already dead in the other world. If they didn't die, they would be vegetables. So what if they die again? They have earned a chance to be the emperor. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"…The only request I came here for is to save Zeng Qian'er. Tell me what you want me to do to save her."
"Saving her is easy. Just look at the problems this country is facing. As long as one of them is solved, saving Miss Zeng will be a piece of cake."
Zhuge Bucai stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air, and some scenes of the Zi Yan Kingdom appeared in the circle.
The streets at night are not as dark as those in South Vietnam. People go to bed early because candles are expensive and shops need to burn a lot of candles to light up the shops, so most shops close early. Only shops like brothels that are open at night are open at night.
And what was lit in the Purple Flame Country was not candlelight lanterns, but... light bulbs! It was indeed light bulbs. The whole street was much brighter than candlelight lanterns, but it was far inferior to modern fluorescent tubes, LED lights, and neon lights. This was at most a scene from the 1960s and 1970s.
Compared with other countries, this is already very advanced. The other scene is actually an opera house, an evening concert? Accordion? Piano? They are all very old-fashioned instruments, much cruder in workmanship, not as exquisite as modern ones, which shows that this king doesn't know much about musical instruments.
The last scene was that almost all the people on the street gathered in an open space with a stage set up on it. On the stage were rows of ordinary light bulbs, and under the light bulbs were colorful paper and cloth strips of many colors, which refracted colorful light and made the stage effect colorful.
But compared with modern rotating spotlights, it is not good enough. But here it is already advanced on demand. The effect of the stage play can be seen from the excited shouts of the people. If the level is upgraded, these people will probably go crazy.
"Quasi-Saint Lord, look at the prosperity of our Purple Flame Nation. South Vietnam can't even catch up. The glass products and iron weapons given to South Vietnam are all controlled by our Purple Flame Nation. Their ironware cannot be purified or refined, and it is easy to break. Therefore, no matter what conditions our Purple Flame Nation puts forward, South Vietnam will obey obediently. Otherwise, how can they compete with other countries that are eyeing them covetously?"
Zhuge Bucai said proudly.
"That's it?"
