After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"You must ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to come over!"

Several imperial guards immediately agreed and went down the mountain at a rapid speed.

The Black Dragon Guards also knew that this matter was extremely serious. If they failed to find His Majesty, not only would the Imperial Guards be held accountable, but they would not be able to escape either.

"Hurry, ride faster, the imperial farm is only thirty kilometers away from here, we must ask the chief to come back and take charge of the situation!" Deputy Chief Zhang Ping grabbed one of the Black Dragon Guards tightly and roared.

So, the two groups of people parted ways, and those who stayed here continued to explore the way to the bottom of the cliff.

Qi Yu was fine, because he wanted to celebrate Zhong Ning's birthday, so he wanted to enter the city before dark so that he could have a good time with his beautiful lady at night.

But he never expected that as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he met the imperial guards riding into the city. When the imperial guards saw Qi Yu, they didn't care about anything else and just told His Majesty everything that had happened today.

Several people still had to go into the city to invite Princess Zhaohua, so they could only ask Qi Yu to go to Futu Mountain first.

Without thinking, Qi Yu turned his horse around and headed towards Mount Futu.

On the other hand, Zhong Ning had just taken the hangover soup and felt much more sober. He wanted to change his clothes and attend the birthday party for four fellow villagers in the evening.

As a result, after the clothes were changed, the imperial guards suddenly asked for an urgent meeting.

Zhong Ning had no choice but to ask what the important matter was through the curtain!

Upon hearing that something had happened to Emperor Yong, Zhong Ning didn't care about anything else. He quickly changed into clothes that were convenient for traveling, selected fifty imperial guards, rode fast horses, and headed towards Mount Futu.

It was already night.

The moonlight of Lingxing was hidden among the clouds, and the streets were much quieter because of the curfew.

Therefore, Zhong Ning's taking people out of the city did not alarm too many people.

Only the three old friends who were staying in the guest room tonight were sitting in the newly decorated palace, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Since the host is not at home, who are they going to celebrate the birthday with?

Fang Ping looked at the birthday cake he had made himself with a gloomy look in his eyes, but then he thought that Zhong Ning had suddenly led his troops out of the mansion, and that something big must have happened.

This major event could alarm the princess of the time, so it could only be related to the emperor.

He had heard that the emperor took people to Zhenguo Temple to pray today. If something happened on his side, there was only one possibility.

The emperor was assassinated and his life or death is unknown.

Thinking of this, Fang Ping felt much better. The three of them were already together. Although Zhong Ning was not there, there were still some things he needed to explain on Zhong Ning's behalf.

Fang Ping told Zhang Wanting everything that Zhong Ning had said before about the appearance of the third golden finger. Zhang Wanting was of course already aware of it. The most important thing was that Lu Xingzhou had been leading troops in the hinterland of Floating Cloud Mountain, and Wuxia knew about it.

So, when Fang Ping told him the situation, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but fall silent.

To be honest, he didn't want to go back at that moment.

It's not because he doesn't miss home, nor because he likes it here, but simply because as a special forces soldier, he rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield and make achievements.

Moreover, the firearms battalion he personally created had just taken shape, and it was time to bring it to the battlefield for actual combat. If he left now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?

After a long time of hard work, he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but in the end he could only fulfill other people's dreams. It was a pity for him at the moment.

Although Zhong Ning had mentioned going back before, he thought it would take at least three or ten years.

He didn't expect that this time would come so soon.

Zhang Wanting also had a complicated expression. To be honest, she had become accustomed to being served. Although she was not so free here and many places were not very convenient, she was a noble lady after all, not an ordinary person from the bottom of society.

After all, she hadn't really enjoyed it enough, but if she could go back, she would certainly be happy to.

Fang Ping was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you two overthinking this? There's actually one question we haven't figured out yet!"

"What's the problem?" Zhang Wanting asked.

"This question has suddenly occurred to me recently. Is it possible that the method Zhong Ning mentioned for returning home is only for her?"

Fang Ping, shaking a glass of red wine in his hand, said casually, "If it wasn't aimed at her alone, why didn't we have such an adventure?"

"You mean, among the four of us, only Zhong Ning might be able to go back, while the other three might have to stay here for the rest of our lives?"

"This is just a guess!" Fang Ping took a sip of red wine and continued, "Maybe she can take one or two with her, maybe she can take all of us with her, or maybe that so-called time tunnel only allows her to pass through!"

"There's another question. The four of us are in different places after all. If Zhong Ning fights the third person with the golden finger and directly deprives him of his golden finger, is it possible that she will be sent back on the spot?"

"By that time, the three of us probably still won't know what happened, but she's most likely already returned to the modern era."

"You have a point!" Lu Xingzhou continued. His military instinct made him stand straight and look righteous even when he was sitting there.

"Actually, if we analyze it in detail, there are many possibilities. After all, this thing has never appeared before..." Lu Xingzhou frowned slightly and continued:

"Even if the card in Zhong Ning's hand that can deprive him of his golden finger can eventually be integrated into a time-travel card, who knows where it will travel to?"

"The fact that we're here proves that the three thousand worlds mentioned in Buddhist scriptures and quantum entanglement mentioned in science are real."

"So, we may not be able to travel back in time?" Zhang Wanting concluded with a bitter face.

Fang Ping's eyes dimmed, as if he had lost all his energy. He muttered to himself, "If I can't go back, what's the point of me staying here?"

I can’t sing openly, and I can’t act openly.

Because those are not mainstream things here.

Even the girl he likes is now in a sweet relationship with another man here.

No matter how hard he tried, he didn't stand a chance.

Because it was impossible for him to become a concubine, and it was impossible for her to give up those two most outstanding young men in the world.

Unless he goes back, only by going back, he will have a chance to get Zhong Ning back.

Lu Xingzhou took a look at Fang Ping's dejected drinking expression and couldn't help but hold Zhang Wanting's hand tightly.

Fortunately, fortunately he did not fall in love with Princess Zhaohua.

Fortunately, the woman he liked also fell in love with him at first sight.

Fortunately, she was not a princess and had no intention of keeping a lover.

Otherwise, he really couldn't accept it.

As a soldier of the Republic, he strongly supports monogamy. Even if he gets married here in the future, he will never...

Forget it, let’s talk about the future later!
