Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 259 Hidden Phoenix Tower

The bright moon, like a silver disk, casts its cool light through the window, casting a shadow on the quaint, dimly lit ground. The dim oil lamp flickers with a faint glow, as if telling the story of the years.

Suo Chao quietly moved to Cangfeng Tower. The two girls in the tower were overjoyed to see him. Their joy was as bright and warm as flowers blooming in spring.

Only Empress Xiaozhuang looked a little restrained. She lowered her head slightly, her hands lightly clasped together, as if thousands of thoughts were lingering in her mind.

He Ling was wearing a gauze dress, which was as light as clouds. Under the interweaving of moonlight and light, her graceful figure was faintly outlined.

She wore her hair in a sparrow-like style, each strand of hair seemed to have been carefully crafted, exuding a charming and elegant temperament. She moved lightly, like a fairy descending to earth. The beautiful scenery that was looming in the distance made people sigh at the beauty of life. She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was gentle and charming:

"General, you are here."

Suo Chao's gaze lingered on He Ling for a moment, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. He thought of the kings in history who had gone crazy for beauties.

King Zhou neglected his duties when he saw Daji; King You of Zhou lit beacons to trick the princes to win a beautiful woman's smile; Emperor Taizong of Tang was unable to walk when he saw his beautiful sister-in-law; Emperor Xuanzong of Tang forgot his moral principles when he saw his daughter-in-law. At this moment, he seemed to understand the depth of love of those kings, who were so eager to see the peerless beauty before them that they could enjoy the infinite beauty.

"Empress Dowager, please take a seat. I have nothing to do, so I came to the deep palace to sit down." Suo Chao's voice was steady and powerful. He sat down slowly, glanced at the three women, and began to talk about what he had seen and heard over the years.

The three women listened attentively, their eyes gradually changing from awe to admiration, and then from admiration to worship, and finally they were completely captivated by his story.

A hint of tenderness flashed in He Ling's eyes, and her soft and charming voice sounded again:

"General, it's been many years since we last met. How do you want to compensate me?" Suo Chao's heart tightened. He swallowed and tried hard to suppress the heat in his heart.

He straightened up slightly and said seriously:

"Empress Dowager, I will treat Your Majesty well. I will not violate the rules of etiquette." His eyes were firm, but with a hint of helplessness. He felt a little uncomfortable in this ambiguous environment.

He Ling still worried about her son Liu Bian's throne. Since her fake son's throne was precarious, she thought to herself, she might as well leave the general's own flesh and blood behind. Their last departure had been hasty, and the two women's plot had failed. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had made some resolution.

Queen Himiko standing beside her is also a stunning beauty. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing both the majesty of a queen and the allure of a woman. Her beauty is that of a queen who is both regal and uninhibited, like an upgraded version of Xia Ji.

She raised her chin slightly, and her majestic and cold voice sounded:

"General, it's been years since we last met. Your presence is everywhere in the universe." Suo Chao was wary, looking at Himiko with a flicker of caution. He knew that this power-hungry Queen of the Japanese islands would be difficult to deal with. If he went too far, he would have to cultivate a Wu Zetian himself.

Empress Xiaozhuang stood quietly by, her eyes like a pool of autumn water, clear and bright. As she gazed at Suo Chao, she seemed to convey endless tenderness. Her charming lips, like delicate petals, reminded one of Dorgon's story of falling deeply in love with her, choosing beauty over power.

She bowed slightly, and opened her mouth with her ripe cherry lips, her voice gentle and graceful:

"General, thank you for being so kind to my children and relatives." Her willow-shaped eyebrows trembled slightly, leaving a faint afterimage on her cheeks, like an untouchable dream.

Suo Chao was overwhelmed with emotion. He looked at Xiaozhuang, a surge of admiration welling up in his heart. A mother, for her own child, could do so humbly. He recalled later donation organizations, which, in order to obtain funds to treat seriously ill children, also risked everything to offer themselves to animals.

He thought to himself that he was not an animal and did not want to kidnap a good wife and mother. He had drunk a little too much today and was very drunk. He only felt a fragrant breeze blowing past him.

The bright moon moves westward, insects chirp outside the window, and inside the house it feels like a gentle breeze blowing across the willow banks, creating ripples.

Suo Chao's heart was like these ripples, ups and downs, but he didn't want to get caught up in emotional entanglements.

Three days later, Suo Chao left Cangfeng Tower. His steps were firm, yet a lingering lingering feeling lingered. He began to inspect the progress of each department, his mind reeling from the scenes in Cangfeng Tower. Knowing his beloved's kindness was too great to be forgotten, he agreed to teach He Ling and Himiko martial arts and medicine.

During his trip to the early Qing Dynasty, Suo Chao obtained a large number of scientific and technological drawings and military products. He handed over the red cannons and new-era ship designs he had purchased to his fourth wife, Liu Jian, who was in charge of the Science and Technology Department.

Nine wives each controlled one of the nine departments. They were responsible for recruiting and cultivating talents from across the universe and entrusted them with important tasks. During the previous trip to the North Sea, hundreds of disciples were trained and incubated in the nine departments.

After a long period of evolution, among the 500 million people in World D, there are already 100 million talented people from various fields. Some of them are so talented that they have even developed the steam engine.

Suo Chao looked at the excited Ma Jun and praised:

"Mr. Ma, do a good job! I'll give you the blueprints for the improved steam engine." Ma Jun was excited. He was a famous inventor and mechanical engineer from the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. He was a talented person that Suo Chao had specially sought out when he crossed Wuzhangyuan.

The second lady Mi Hua was in charge of the Agriculture Department, the third lady Chen Huan was in charge of the Water Conservancy Department, the sixth lady Cai Yan was in charge of the Culture and Entertainment Department, the seventh lady Zhen Jiang was in charge of the Manufacturing Department, the eighth lady Zhen Tuo was in charge of the Finance Department, and the ninth lady Xia Ji took over the Food Department. The three previous important departments were now managed by the remaining three ladies.

In North America, a vigorous reform was underway, with the five million indigenous people gradually accepting the rule of the king and breaking free from their primitive state.

Bloodshed was inevitable; every social system had its own guardians. Suo Chao couldn't bear to kill those who resisted, so he sent them all to World D to do hard labor.

Back then, the coolies on the Japanese islands were consumables, so much so that they eagerly awaited the opportunity to join the army. They hadn't been supplied for years.

Zhao Jiumei sent Han Shizhong to destroy the Japanese Kingdom, and the newly-formed Emperor Zhu Cilang sent Zheng Chenggong to destroy the Japanese Islands. I wonder if his female emperor disciple can accomplish such a feat?

Suo Chao stood on the land of North America, gazing into the distance, his heart filled with longing and anticipation for the future. He knew that this revolution would change the fate of countless people, and that he, too, would leave a significant mark in the long river of history.
