The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

In the dense bamboo forest, each stalk of green bamboo stands tall and straight.

Lu Gong and Lu Yaoyi Xiaochuan sat down at a table to drink.

"I am very grateful to the two gentlemen for saving me today. I would like to offer you both a toast."

Lu Gong raised his wine cup and addressed the two men.

"Mr. Lü, you are too kind. You are our elder, and we should be the ones showing you respect."

Lu Yao also raised his wine glass and said politely.

"That's right, Master Lü, you're too kind."

Yi Xiaochuan quickly replied.

Just as the three were drinking and chatting happily at the table, the two sisters, Lü Zhi and Lü Su, came hand in hand.

"This humble woman greets Father and the two gentlemen."

Empress Lü and Empress Lü Su bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"Haha, Zhi'er and Su'er, please take a seat."

After the two women responded, they sat down together on the same bench.

Lü Zhi happened to be next to Yi Xiaochuan, while Lü Su was next to Lu Yao.

"Young master, let me pour you some wine."

Lu Su picked up the wine pot and filled Lu Yao's wine cup.

Lu Yao felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at Lü Su pouring him wine.

Lu Su changed into a green and white long dress, as if a spring breeze was blowing. Her nose was delicate and straight, her cherry lips were slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm.

"Thank you, Miss Susu."

Lu Yao smiled and thanked him softly.

Upon hearing Lu Yao's voice, Lü Su's face flushed slightly.

"Young master, you may call me Susu."

Lu Su lowered her head and said softly in a sweet voice.

Lu Yao was taken aback. Did this mean she had feelings for him and was calling him by his nickname?

On the other side, Yi Xiaochuan was in a similar situation to Lu Yao, and Lü Zhi was very curious about Yi Xiaochuan.

Lu Gong, however, drank alone with a smile on his face, without disturbing them.

Empress Lü then performed a dance for everyone to enhance the drinking experience.

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh. Lü Zhi had indeed taken a liking to Yi Xiaochuan, but unfortunately, Yi Xiaochuan had no interest in her whatsoever.

However, Lü Su's storyline has started to deviate from the original plot.

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and sure enough, the world line was slightly shifted, giving back a small amount of the world's origin.

Unfortunately, this essence of the world is extremely rare, less than one percent of the total.

After a short rest, the group set off on their journey.

……

Soon the group arrived in Pei County. Lu Gong prepared guest rooms for the two of them, and Lu Yao and Yi Xiaochuan both planned to stay there for a while before leaving.

Because they had just moved to Pei County, the Lü family was very busy, so Lu Yao and Yi Xiaochuan went out for a trip together.

"Brother Lu, I've heard that Peixian dog meat is very famous. We should go and try it."

Yi Xiaochuan chuckled and said to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao glanced at him and said, "You only remember the dog meat, right? The key point is that you don't remember anything else."

Oh right, Yi Xiaochuan never passed history class since he was a child, so it's okay.

"Peixian dog meat is indeed famous. There's a stall up ahead, let's go and try it."

Lu Yao said, pointing to the dog meat stall in front of him, "I want to see how delicious this dog meat is."

"Boss, give us two bowls of the best dog meat and a pot of wine."

Yi Xiaochuan plopped down and greeted the boss.

"Coming right up, please wait a moment, sir."

The boss, a middle-aged man, quickly responded.

"You are Fan Kuai?"

Yi Xiaochuan asked curiously.

Lu Yao also looked over. This minister of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was still unremarkable in history.

"I am Fan Kuai. Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen."

Fan Kuai placed two bowls of dog meat on the table and said with a smile.

Lu Yao picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste it; the taste was indeed quite good.

Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from beside them.

A ragged, disheveled man suddenly sat down in front of the two of them.

"My two brothers, it's great to see you again. I've missed you both so much."

Liu Bang, beaming with joy, grasped Yi Xiaochuan's hand and said...

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Liu Bang in front of him with a blank expression.

Suddenly remembering that he was still wanted for storming the execution ground, I immediately became nervous.

"Ahem, buddy, have you mistaken me for someone else? I look a lot like many people."

Yi Xiaochuan stammered, his attempt to conceal his embarrassment amusing Lu Yao.

As Liu Bang spoke, he silently reached for the dog meat in the bowl.

Lu Yao had been watching the show from the sidelines, and when he saw Liu Bang's actions, he frowned.

"Smack! Ouch!"

Lu Yao struck Liu Bang's furtive hand with his chopsticks, causing Liu Bang to wince in pain and withdraw his restless hand.

"Please show some respect, sir. If you wish to dine with us, just say so. Please refrain from using such tactics."

Lu Yao placed his chopsticks on the table and looked calmly at Liu Bang.

Liu Bang smiled sheepishly upon seeing this.

But he's always been thick-skinned and doesn't care.

"Eat, eat, don't be shy."

Yi Xiaochuan seemed rather guilty and told Liu Bang to do as he pleased.

"Hehehe, then I won't be polite."

Liu Bang chuckled, quickly licked both bowls of dog meat clean, and then picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

Lu Yao and Yi Xiaochuan exchanged a glance, both speechless.

You guys eat too!

Liu Bang put the dog meat back into the bowl and gestured to the two men.

"Um, you eat, you eat."

Yi Xiaochuan looked at the dog meat that had been licked and had no appetite.

Lu Yao also frowned deeply.

You don't realize it when you see him on TV, but when you're actually in front of him, he's really disgusting.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I have some things to attend to, so I won't disturb you two brothers any longer."

Having achieved his goal, Liu Bang planned to make his escape.

"Fan Kuai, help me wrap up the meat. I'll return the wine jug to you tomorrow."

Fan Kuai glanced at Lu Yao and the other man, then reluctantly complied.

Liu Bang picked up the wrapped meat and wine jug, humming a Qin folk song as he gracefully departed.

Children on the street, seeing that he had successfully swindled again, followed behind him singing doggerel that mocked Liu Bang.

"I never imagined that someone like him could become the future Emperor Gaozu of Han."

Lu Yao shook his head, but he was planning to reveal his identity as a transmigrator, as this would be more conducive to bringing the two of them closer.

Yi Xiaochuan realized he had been tricked and was secretly annoyed when he heard Lu Yao's words and was stunned.

"This... Brother Lu, could it be that you are also..."

Yi Xiaochuan stared wide-eyed at Lu Yao in disbelief.

"Just as you thought, Ogawa, I don't know how I ended up in the Qin Dynasty."

Lu Yao shrugged and said helplessly.

Yi Xiaochuan was thrilled to hear that others had also traveled through time with him, feeling as if he had found his tribe.

The two then began to talk excitedly. Lu Yao pretended to be a policeman and said that he had traveled through time while on a mission.

Yi Xiaochuan also told Lu Yao about his thrilling experience.

Upon hearing that Lu Yao was a policeman, Yi Xiaochuan's trust in him immediately increased to the maximum.

"Brother Yao, did you bring a gun?"

Yi Xiaochuan asked curiously.

After some conversation, the way he addressed Lu changed from "Brother Lu" to "Brother Yao".

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's curious gaze, Lu Yao pretended to take out a pistol from his robe.

Yi Xiaochuan was immediately shocked. With this weapon in hand, he would be unstoppable in the Qin Dynasty.

He picked up the pistol with slightly trembling hands and touched it carefully.

Lu Yao had already unloaded the bullets, so let him be.

Yi Xiaochuan looked at it for a while and then returned the pistol to Lu Yao.

"Brother Yao, have you found a way back now?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Lu Yao expectantly, hoping that he might have some clues to go home.

"Not yet, what about you?"

Lu Yao shook his head, pretending that he didn't know.

Yi Xiaochuan chuckled and moved a little closer to Lu Yao.

"I've found a clue: Tangwu Mountain in the Yan region!"

Yi Xiaochuan took out his phone, intending to show Lu Yao the pictures he had taken of the treasure box.
