My subjects are too rebellious!

Facing the setting sun, Qin Chuan, Zhang Rang, Long San and Long Si returned to Kaifeng Prefecture.

After returning to their residence, the four of them had dinner together, and then Qin Chuan went to the study.

As he entered the study, the room was filled with a faint scent of ink. He slowly walked to the desk and sat down. An oil lamp and a set of exquisite study supplies were already prepared on the table.

He held the brush and wrote with his wrist suspended. Every stroke seemed so steady and powerful, revealing his profound calligraphy skills.

Zhang Rang stood aside, holding an ink cup, carefully grinding ink for Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's calligraphy is vigorous and majestic.

.........

On the roof of Qinchuan's study, the night was as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft and cool silver light.

Long San and Long Si sat opposite each other, their figures elongated in the moonlight, looking particularly mysterious.

Long San gazed deeply at the bright moon, his mind seemed to be filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Suddenly, he gently pulled Long Si's hand.

In fact, Long Si was fully capable of quickly dodging Long San's hand, but she chose to sit there quietly and let Long San's hand hold her hand.

There was no trace of resistance in her eyes, but instead a hint of tenderness and understanding.

The two of them just sat there quietly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.

The world around me seemed to have stopped.

"Long Si, look at the moon. It is silent, but it illuminates the darkest corner of my heart. You are the same to me. You are affectionate without words, but you are the indispensable light in my life."

Long San's voice was like the softest breeze in the night sky, gently blowing across Long Si's heart.

Hearing this, Long Si raised a gentle smile and looked into Long San's eyes.

"To me, you are more than just light. In this troubled world, only you can make me feel at ease and make me willing to let go of all my defenses, just to watch the moon rise and set, and the flowers bloom and fade with you."

As the only woman in the Jinyiwei Dragon Group, Long Si and Long San have long had feelings for each other.

However, due to their special identities, there are some things they cannot do just because they want to.

The two smiled at each other, no further words needed.

"I hope that in this life, we can be like this bright moon. Although it experiences waxing and waning, we will always stay together, look at each other, and never leave each other." Long Si's voice was full of expectations for the future.

Long San held Long Si's hand tightly and said gently: "Long Si, I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life, and spend every dawn and dusk with you until the end of the world."

At this moment, time seems to have stopped, leaving only two hearts tightly dependent on each other.

While Long San and Long Si were being affectionate on the roof, Qin Chuan in the study room captured the delicate emotional fluctuations on the roof with an extraordinary keen perception.

He gently put down the brush in his hand, and an interested smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently, as if he was quite surprised by this unexpected "audience experience".

Then, Qin Chuan's figure seemed to be swallowed up by the night, or blended into the moonlight. He disappeared from the study at an incredible speed in an instant. When he reappeared, he was standing steadily in front of Long San and Long Si.

His appearance did not disturb the two people who were immersed in each other's world. Instead, he seemed to be a part of this quiet night, quietly observing the scene.

Long San and Long Si were immersed in each other's world, enjoying the rare tranquility, when they were suddenly startled by Qin Chuan who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Your Majesty!" Long San and Long Si spoke almost at the same time, with an imperceptible tremor in their voices.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan still had a gentle smile on his face. He slowly took a few steps forward, his eyes gently sweeping over the two of them, as if he could see through their inner fluctuations.

"Don't panic, it's okay."

Upon hearing this, Long San and Long Si felt a little relieved.

"Your Majesty, we..." Long Si tried to explain, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to start.

"You two have a deep affection for each other, and I see it all."

"No need to say more. I understand that it is not easy to find a sincere relationship in this troubled world. Please cherish each other and face the future storms together."

Qin Chuan continued, "As for the matter of serving, you can rest assured. If one day you want to serve outside like them, I will not stop you. The world is so big that you can go anywhere."

If one day, you want to go out, you will disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Only Long San and Long Si were left standing there, looking in the direction Qin Chuan left, their hearts filled with gratitude.

.............

The African continent is known for its vast expanse of land, diverse climates and ecosystems.

The scorching sun is like fire, burning the boundless earth and dyeing the sky into a brilliant golden color. This is a country embraced by high temperatures all year round, and every inch of land exudes a hot breath.

Bai Qi and his army went from being unfamiliar and uncomfortable at first to being integrated later.

In this vast land, except for the central and southern parts which are suitable for growing terraced fields, there is no other land suitable for farming.

The rest of the land appears mostly barren and desolate.

In the distance, baobab trees stand tall. With their thick trunks and peculiar shapes, they are like giants guarding this land.

What’s even more amazing is that these trees are able to store water during dry seasons.

Become a life-saving straw in the desert.

Of course, the most amazing thing is,

None are more so than those "Kunlun slaves".

Their skin color was like black charcoal in the middle of the night, forming a sharp contrast with the skin color of the people of the Wu Dynasty. This difference made Bai feel quite novel and even a little puzzled at first.

However, as time went on, Bai Qi began to observe these "Kunlun slaves" more closely.

He noticed that these people did not seem to be as intelligent as the people of the Wu Dynasty.

He stood on a towering rock, overlooking the group known as the "Kunlun slaves", with only one thought echoing in his mind: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

In his view, these strong people were nothing more than exploitable labor.

He was confident that the food and shelter he provided them were enough in exchange for their endless labor, and that it was a fair exchange.

.......

Bai Qi bowed his head and kowtowed again, and wrote to Your Majesty:

I have traveled to a foreign land, to the African continent, and what I have seen and heard is quite strange. This place is hot all year round, and the land is mostly barren. Only the central and southern parts have terraced fields, which can be used for farming. However, the people are simple, strong and hardworking, with dark skin. They are called Kunlun slaves. Although I think of them as foreigners, I also feel their hardship when I see them working hard.

Although the land is not rich in products, it has many natural wonders, such as the baobab tree, which can store water when dry, which is rare. I also heard that the people have diverse beliefs and enjoy singing and dancing. Although their lives are hard, their spirits are not depressed.

I think your majesty is wise and should know that the world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Although I am in a foreign land, my heart is with the Wu Dynasty. I hope your majesty will open up his mind, accept the wise men from all over the world, and work together for national affairs. I will also work hard to repay your majesty for your kindness.

I sincerely wish Your Majesty good health and a prosperous Dynasty.

Your servant Bai Qi respectfully submits this.
