I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

"why?"

Xu Shu picked up a new teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Because the time in the main world is irreversible, only the author and the authorized party can modify the plot. Even if Qiao Jianhong dies, it will only create a new possibility. We are used to calling it the fan world."

"Every choice he makes that goes against the main storyline will create an independent fan world. In the fan world, the plot can be played freely. No one cares whether Qiao Jianhong is dead or alive, or whether he is with Bai Danchen."

"But it's impossible for him in this world to die early, contrary to the setting, and it's impossible for him to go against the setting and be with Bai Danchen."

"How is it impossible?" Xu Shu pointed at the still Qiao Jianhong, "He is about to die. If it is impossible, why would you stop time?"

"It is because of my ability to stop time that he can't violate the settings. Otherwise, what do you think I'm here for?" Mu Tonghai was so upset by Xu Shu's question that he even disregarded his image and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket in anger.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find the lighter after searching for a long time. Mu Tonghai subconsciously looked at Xu Shu, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Xu Shu took out a lighter from his space ring and threw it to him.

Mu Tonghai didn't find it strange. He took the lighter, lit the cigarette, and asked Xu Shu, "Would you like one?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "I don't smoke, you continue."

Mu Tonghai took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled heavily, and then said, "My friend, please understand the hardship of middle-aged people in making a living."

"I also know a little about what happened to you during the apocalypse. You have no relatives or friends there, and you definitely don't want this world to be wiped out and your Mu Jinghua to disappear from sight."

"Qiao Jianhong is annoying, a nuisance, and a bad person, but he doesn't deserve death anyway."

"It's not that the main plot line cannot be changed, but what about my time travel?" Xu Shu didn't fall for his emotional blackmail and only asked about the areas that confused him.

"Your time travel is a system bug." Mu Tonghai took another puff of his cigarette, "Qiao Wan is the same."

"But our programmers are not good enough to fix this bug for now, so we can only try our best to get cooperation."

He extended his hand to Xu Shu and said, "My dear friend, I have shown my sincerity. If you do not agree to cooperate with us, the higher-ups may take extreme actions. Not only will my job be in jeopardy, but this world and your Mu Jinghua may also be in danger."

Xu Shu did not shake hands with him, but asked: "What are the conditions for Qiao Wan to cooperate with you?"

"She just said not to send her back to the end of the world."

Xu Shu suddenly fell silent. He had been in this world for so long that he had even begun to forget the painful experiences he had during the last days.

"Xu Shu, I know that with your abilities, you can live well no matter where you are, but think about Mu Jinghua."

"No need to mention Xiao Mujin all the time." Xu Shu interrupted him, but couldn't help but glance at Mu Jinghua who was also frozen in place not far away.

After a moment, he reached out to Mu Tonghai: "Adaptation rights."

Mu Tonghai was instantly overjoyed. He quickly put out his half-smoked cigarette and shook hands with Xu Shu: "Happy cooperation."

-

Qiao Jianhong duels with Xu Shu, but is wounded by Xu Shu's "accidentally skilled" arrow.

The examiners all gasped when they saw the arrow pierce Qiao Jianhong's chest.

They were in a panic, feeling that a disaster was imminent. Just as they were about to order Xu Shu to be arrested, the emperor arrived.

The eunuch's sharp voice chilled everyone's heart.

Even Mu Jinghua couldn't help but frown.

The emperor came just to maintain order, and Mu Tonghai was still the main person in charge of the work.

Mu Tonghai was busy running around, asking this and that, arranging people to take care of Qiao Jianhong, and ordering the evacuation of the people. He was so busy that even Xu Shu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and came to help.

Of course, the only help he could provide now was to take his little Hibiscus home.

Although he was the one who caused the incident, Mu Tonghai insisted that he accidentally injured Qiao Jianhong because of his "poor skills".

The prime minister of the current dynasty has spoken, who dares to say it is wrong?

However, Qiao Jianhong came with an injury to disrupt the order of the martial arts examination and was punished by the emperor to be confined to his house for a month.

Before Xu Shu left, Mu Tonghai patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "This martial arts exam will be postponed for three days. You must practice riding and archery well when you go back."

Xu Shu smiled and looked around at everyone, then answered very seriously: "When a scholar has been away for three days, he will surely be looked at with new eyes by the Prime Minister."

Mu Tonghai showed a satisfied look, while the others looked as if they had eaten dirt.

It has been three days since we last met.

You bastard, you are obviously so skilled that you can hit whatever you point at, so why do you have to pretend to be like a fool and make fun of us!

Of course, although most people are dissatisfied, few dare to express it openly.

But there are still a few.

After Xu Shu said goodbye to Mu Tonghai, he went to find Mu Jinghua first: "Little Mujin, did you get scared?"

Mu Jinghua was naturally happy to see Qiao Jianhong suffer a setback, but Mu Tonghai's obvious attitude of protecting Xu Shu made him a little unsure: "Xu Shu, what conditions did you agree to with Mu Tonghai? Why is he so partial to you?"

Xu Shu was immediately stumped by Mu Jinghua's question. He felt helpless and amused: "It turns out that you are the one who understands me, little Mu Jin."

Hearing him say this, Mu Jinghua's heart suddenly tightened: "What did you promise?"

"When he asks me to marry you, be sure to invite him." Xu Shu lied with his eyes open.

"That's it?" Mu Jinghua certainly didn't believe it. "What is he doing here? Is he trying to get close to my grandfather? But my grandfather hasn't been involved in government affairs for a long time. He wants to do something with my grandfather..."

"Xiao Mujin, you've been thinking about more and more messy things recently." Xu Shu pulled him into the carriage helplessly. Facing Bai Danchen's equally worried expression, he said helplessly, "Maybe he just wants to repair his relationship with you?"

Seeing Mu Jinghua's disbelief, Xu Shu could only change his words: "Maybe he wants to promote me."

This is somewhat possible.

Mu Jinghua thought that Xu Shuhui would be the future champion in martial arts, and in no time he would become a great general like Qiao Jianhong.

Moreover, Xu Shu was smarter and richer than Qiao Jianhong, so he must be a hundred times better than General Qiao Jianhong, which made it seem more and more possible.

Bai Danchen was also reluctantly fooled, but said: "I don't recommend you get too close to him. This old man has been in the court in recent years. Although he has not done anything wrong, he has monopolized power and the court is almost completely ruled by him."

"If he hadn't been afraid of Jianhong's military power, he would have already..."

Bai Danchen pointed to the sky, indicating that Mu Tonghai would plot to usurp the throne.

Xu Shu laughed when he heard it.

This Mu Tonghai is really not pleasing to everyone.

The one who really wanted to seize power and usurp the throne was the one from the Xiao family, and he even brought Qiao Jianhong along with him.
