#861 - From Yongding

The next morning, as dawn was breaking, Wei Changtian and the others packed their luggage and left Zhuwu by carriage.

Although Qin He had said yesterday that she would come to see them off, they didn't inform her and left quietly.

From the time they moved into Zhuwu as horse traders to their departure today, Wei Changtian had only lived there for less than a month.

It wasn't a long time, but it was enough to become familiar with everything here.

Therefore, when leaving this morning, Wei Changtian couldn't help but look back a few more times.

The eaves and tiles still had the dew left over from last night, the green bamboo forest was the same as always, and the bamboo leaves swayed gently in the wind like waves.

"Grumble, grumble"

The wheels rolled, the carriage passed through the empty streets of Yongding City, and left the West City Gate in the thin morning mist.

The 200,000 surrendered Daqian soldiers stationed outside the city had already dismantled their cooking stoves and were ready to set off and return to their homeland at any time.

Obviously, Wei Changtian was preparing to personally "escort" these 200,000 people back to Daqian.

However, before the army could move, accompanied by a burst of rapid hoofbeats, Gongsun Yan, who had just received the news, finally rushed to the scene at the last moment.

"Wei...Young Master Wei!"

Flusteredly dismounting his horse, Gongsun Yan ran to Wei Changtian's carriage, out of breath, obviously not expecting the latter to leave so suddenly.

He had thought that Wei Changtian would wait until he really sat on the dragon throne before leaving, but he didn't expect Wei Changtian to be unwilling to stay for even a day.

Of course, it wasn't that Gongsun Yan was so reluctant to part with Wei Changtian.

He was just afraid that once Wei Changtian left, the various forces within Dahui would become restless again, causing trouble.

That's why he rushed over in a hurry, wanting to persuade Wei Changtian to stay for a few more days.

However, before he could speak, Wei Changtian had already guessed what he was thinking and said calmly:

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry."

"Whether I leave or not, as long as I am still alive, no one will dare to do anything to you."

"Just be your emperor in peace."

"."

A look of stiffness flashed across his face for a moment, and the words Gongsun Yan had prepared were all blocked back.

Since Wei Changtian had said so, he naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only respond with an awkward smile:

"Yes, I understand."

"I will never forget my previous promise, and I will definitely follow your lead in the future."

"By the way, Young Master, there is also the national title of the new dynasty..."

After expressing his loyalty again, Gongsun Yan suddenly remembered something and asked Wei Changtian in a low voice: "I wonder what you are thinking?"

National title?

Without a doubt, since Gongsun Yan was going to establish a new dynasty, Dahui could no longer be called Dahui, but had to take a new national title.

This was undoubtedly a major event, and logically it should be decided by the emperor of the new dynasty.

However, Gongsun Yan handed over the right to decide this matter to Wei Changtian, and his attitude could not be said to be disrespectful.

It's just that Wei Changtian didn't seem to be interested in this.

"It doesn't matter, you can decide it yourself."

"This..."

After hesitating for a moment, Gongsun Yan tentatively asked in a low voice: "How about Dawei?"

"."

When the "leader" says to let you decide for yourself, it doesn't mean that you don't need to seek the leader's opinion after you have decided on something.

It can be seen that Gongsun Yan is well-versed in the ways of officialdom, and if he were placed in his previous life, he would probably be able to shine brightly in his career as well.

It's just that this Dawei...

"It's a bit too high-profile."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Why not call it Dachu?"

"Chu..."

When Gongsun Yan heard this word, he immediately couldn't help but think of Chu Xianping, and his expression froze slightly.

But since Wei Changtian had decided, he couldn't say anything more, so he quickly nodded and echoed:

"Young Master is very talented! This word is very good!"

Knowing that Wei Changtian was about to leave, Gongsun Yan quickly took a step back and shouted respectfully:

"Young Master, take care!"

"Okay, Your Highness, please stay here, we will meet again in the future."

After replying politely, Wei Changtian stopped looking at Gongsun Yan and turned his head to order Zhang San, who was in front of the carriage:

"Let's go."

"."

"Snap!"

The horsewhip was raised high, the horse pulling the carriage neighed, and then strode forward.

As the carriage drove onto the official road in the faint morning light, the dark army not far away also began to move slowly in the same direction.

"Husband, why Dachu?"

In the swaying carriage, Yang Liushi looked at Wei Changtian with a smile and asked: "Is it because of Chu Xianping?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Actually, there's really no reason, it's just a casual remark."

"Giggle, giggle, then what about after we destroy Daqian?"

Yang Liushi smiled even more: "What name will her husband give the new dynasty?"

"We'll talk about it then."

Wei Changtian leaned back against the wall of the carriage, muttering with a relaxed expression: "Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, just pick one."

"Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han?"

Hearing this "tongue twister" that sounded smooth but had no origin, Yang Liushi was slightly stunned: "Husband, what is this?"

"This is..."

Wei Changtian suddenly straightened up, his expression also becoming inexplicably excited: "It's still far from Daqian, would you like to hear a story?"

"Story?"

Yang Liushi was even more confused: "What story? Is it like Journey to the West?"

"No."

Wei Changtian smiled: "It's a story about the Seven Kingdoms vying for hegemony."

"The Seven Kingdoms vying for hegemony..."

Yang Liushi didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly wanted to tell a story, and it was a story she had never heard of before.

But it seemed normal, after all, Wei Changtian had previously "published" the popular "Journey to the West", and if it hadn't been for the continuous chaos afterwards, her husband might have become a well-known literary master.

Besides, the Seven Kingdoms vying for hegemony sounded very interesting...

Thinking of this, Yang Liushi stopped talking and adjusted her sitting posture with great interest, even pouring a cup of tea, posing as if to say "You tell the story, and I'll listen."

Even Li Zimu turned around curiously.

The two women just looked at Wei Changtian, waiting for his story.

The latter didn't hesitate, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"In the age of great contention, a hundred schools of thought contended."

"It is said that thousands of years ago, the world was divided into seven kingdoms..."

"."

In this way, Wei Changtian began his second "creation" after "Journey to the West", telling the story of the Seven Heroes vying for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of his previous life.

His voice was drowned out by the "rumbling" sound of the army marching, and the rising sun appeared in the east.

Under the glow of the morning light, Yongding City was gradually awakening at this time.

A great chaos covered the vicissitudes of this ancient city for thousands of years, obscuring its former prosperity.

But when the dust flying on the ancient road and the smoke of gunpowder on Dragon Head Mountain settled, everything would eventually pass.

And the turmoil about Daqian had just begun.

You must know that although most of the time it is the trend of the times that creates heroes.

But sometimes, heroes can also create the trend of the times.
