Chapter 214 Opening a Random Treasure Box (11)

The dinner was held in the Moon-Watching Pavilion, which had a square shallow pool inside. Above the water was a round opening that let the moonlight pour down. When the moon rose to a certain position, its reflection could be seen in the pool water.

During the meal, Gu Chang and Linghu Weixin didn't say much.

After the meal, when Linghu Weixin said goodbye, Gu Chang returned the golden jade fan to him.

Linghu Weixin pursed his lips, complex emotions surging in his eyes. Then he saluted Gu Chang and turned to leave.

Gu Chang asked the others to leave first, but Cheng De wanted to stay. "Your Majesty, who will serve you if you are alone here?"

"Chengde." Gu Chang only called his name briefly. Chengde stopped talking and left here silently.

Murong Heng continued to question Gu Chang, "You know how to play Go, so why did you pretend not to know how to play Go with me?"

"Because I want to hide my incompetence," Gu Chang replied seriously. He stood up, walked to the edge of the pool, half-knelt on the ground, and dipped his right hand into the cold water. The ripples that appeared disturbed the moonlight in the pool.

Murong Heng pursed his lips and sat cross-legged on the ground, "I'm talking about internal strength."

"Well, Murong Heng, why do you want to be the emperor?" Gu Chang withdrew his hand, shook it casually twice, then stood up and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

Murong Heng didn't stand up. His gaze fell on the rippling water. After a long pause, he sneered, "I was born to sit in this position. The previous emperor was only interested in pleasure, ignorant of the suffering of the world. He allowed the imperial power to be divided among the aristocratic families, allowing them to tyrannize over him."

"I also chose a conciliatory attitude towards the Kingdom of Zhou. I even took the initiative to curry favor with them, sending the Princess of the Kingdom of Tianyao to Tu Yanqing to quell the war. Why sacrifice a princess in a war between two countries? If it were me, I would have fought until the Kingdom of Zhou voluntarily surrendered and asked for peace."

"It's a pity that he is too cowardly and only cares about his own enjoyment. Such an emperor is a cancer to the Tianyao Kingdom." When Murong Heng said this, his tone was critical.

"So when the peace treaty was signed, the princess of the previous dynasty, Murong Yunming, was asked to marry the foreign princess?" Gu Chang thought of the original plot introduction, which only said that the two countries signed a peace treaty, and did not mention the princess's marriage.

"Yes, sacrificing her alone could buy several years of peace between the two countries. How ironic." Murong Heng sneered, "But after her death, she couldn't return to her homeland. Nie Qingxue even used it as an excuse."

"Even the son she gave birth to is like a loser in the Kingdom of Zhuo." Murong Heng's eyes became sinister.

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?"

"I also have Night Shadow Guards in the Day Country, and they send back intelligence every two weeks." Murong Heng explained for the first time.

"Are you ready for war?" Gu Chang couldn't help but make a bold guess.

Murong Heng turned her head to look at him and lowered her voice, "If it weren't for your accident, I would have sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Zhou in mid-July. By then, he would have died in the Kingdom of Zhou."

Gu Chang calculated the time and found that there was still about a month left.

"Is this reason okay?" Gu Chang asked.

"In July, floods will occur throughout the country. I don't believe Tu Yanqing can mobilize so many troops." Murong Heng seemed to subconsciously ignore Gu Chang's question. He continued, "Whatever he dares not do, I will do, and I will do it better than him."

"Regardless of whether this reason is feasible or not, war between the two countries is inevitable. You have been involved in state affairs these days, so you should know that the border has been bullied by the Zhou Kingdom for a long time. I have suppressed this matter in order to wait for an opportunity. If this opportunity does not come, I will create one myself."

Murong Heng said as he stood up, stretched out his right hand, and watched the moonlight shine through his palm onto the water. "Gu Chang, do you know what you are going to do?"

Gu Chang lowered his eyelashes. He just had a clue about the three tasks.

It’s just that due to his current status as the emperor, it’s difficult to progress the mission.

"System, is there really no way to find another body?" Gu Chang did not answer Murong Heng's question first.

The system scratched its head and said, "Master Host, there is no such option."

"But you haven't opened the random treasure chest yet, right? Maybe you can give it a try." The system suggested.

Gu Chang almost forgot that there was still a random treasure chest that had not been opened.

"Murong Heng, I have a lot to do and I can't explain it to you clearly. But since you have made up your mind, I won't interfere with you." Gu Chang's words showed his attitude. Murong Heng did not lie to him. Sending an envoy over was a decision made long ago.

This is like a plot point. Whether Gu Chang refuses or not, it will happen according to the original trajectory.

It’s just that the original plot provided by the system is different from what Gu often sees, and the plot points are also glossed over.

However, the ending that Nie Qingxue knew was different from the ending that Gu Chang knew, which was a breakthrough.

Perhaps figuring out Nie Qingxue's true identity is also one of the tasks.

"That's good." Murong Heng chuckled softly after hearing the answer, then walked closer to Gu Chang and stared into his eyes. "I really want to see what you really look like. People like you are really interesting."

"It's not good to be too curious." After Gu Chang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Wangyue Pavilion.

Cheng De, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ordered others to clean up the pavilion. After confirming that Gu Chang was sitting firmly in the imperial sedan chair, he asked the people carrying the sedan chair to stand up carefully.

Gu Chang was on his way back to the bedroom, preparing to open a random treasure chest.

Before turning it on, Gu Chang said to himself: I am willing to exchange half of the system's life's luck for what I want.

System, "Host, I can hear you."

Gu Chang, "Then let me put it another way."

"Since this system is so cute and interesting, I'll let the random treasure chest give me what I want."

After a prayer, Gu Chang clicked the open icon on the random treasure chest.

After a burst of golden light, three items appeared in front of Gu Chang.

"Exquisite puppet—a perfect item to bring with you when you go out. If you encounter a ghost you're attracted to, you can place it inside the puppet and transform it into a human. Valid for two years. — 100,000 points."

"Immortal Pill—created by the master, it's his most proud creation. After taking it, you'll feel your entire body clear and bright, as if ascending to heaven. (A pill used for self-comfort, it actually has no effect.)—10,000 points."

"Mineral Vein Map—This map shows the locations of mineral veins in various places. It's a great way to get rich overnight!—One million points."

After reading it, Gu Chang just wanted to give a thumbs up to this mineral vein map that can be exchanged for one million points.

But his attention returned to the first exquisite puppet.

If this thing can appear in a random treasure chest, it means that the setting of this world is not an ancient fantasy, it even involves a little fantasy part.

Gu Chang took another look at the Immortal Pill that required 10,000 points. He felt that it was impossible for him to buy the Immortal Pill and the mineral map.

However, the random treasure chest heard his thoughts and gave him a good item.

It’s only valid for two years.

In other words, Gu Chang has to complete this world within two years.

The system continued, "Host, I really want to know who made this immortality pill. Will anyone really buy it?"

"If you want..." Gu Chang teased the system.

The system quickly shook its head and refused, "No, no, no, you should keep this pill. It has a beautiful golden color."

Gu Chang first bought this exquisite puppet and then used it according to the situation.

After returning to the bedroom, Gu Chang went to take a bath.

While bathing, Murong Heng also stared at Gu Chang.

"Haven't you seen enough of your body?" Gu Chang couldn't help but ask.

"I've never seen it from this angle." Murong Heng answered honestly. He couldn't see himself so comprehensively.

Murong Heng even felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but not like him.

He thought that this might be because the person in this body was Gu Chang.

Murong Heng could only think that Gu Chang was always imitating him, but imitation would never come true.

However, Linghu Weixin and the others didn't notice anything wrong, which shows that Gu Chang's imitation was pretty good.

After taking a bath, Gu Chang put on his clothes and went out in his clogs.

There was no wind tonight, so he sat under the porch, quietly looking at the night sky outside.

The young eunuch behind him bent down slightly, took a clean towel and wiped Gu Chang's long hair gently and carefully.

After wiping it almost done, Gu Chang asked the eunuch to leave first.

"System, did you touch my memory?" Gu Chang suddenly asked the system.

The system blinked. "What's wrong, host? The system is just storing some memories for you. You've experienced so many worlds, and your memory capacity is limited, so the system is storing your daily memories. If you have too many memories, you won't be able to bear it, and you might even go insane."

Gu Chang would ask this question because when he tried to recall his previous memories with his lover, that part was vague, so he asked the system this question.

"It's okay, you did a good job." Gu Chang thought for a moment and felt that the system was right to do so.

No wonder he didn’t feel a headache having so many memories. It turned out that the system was silently helping him.

"If you get stuck, I'll help you pass it." Gu Chang said softly.

System, "Great! Host, you are so kind!"

Murong Heng stood beside the bed, watching Gu Chang sleeping soundly, and always felt that this person had not slept yet.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands on the bed, and recalled the scenes of that day.

That night, Murong Heng drank in the pavilion on the lake and admired the beauty dancing.

But the beauty was always restless and tried to tease Murong Heng. After discovering this, Murong Heng lost all interest in Pingping.

He felt that this dancer only had a pair of bright eyes but lacked a rich inner world.

It's like, playing another person.

It was like Gu Chang was playing him, but Gu Chang was playing him well. But she gave people a lame feeling.

After that, Murong Heng left the pavilion in the lake. He had a good alcohol tolerance and would not get drunk.

But he happened to be drunk that night.

Murong Heng frowned slightly. Why couldn't he remember what kind of wine he drank that day?
