Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, respecting the elderly is a virtue. You're older, so you have the final say. As long as you help me complete this task, I'll owe you a favor. In the future, whatever you want me to do, as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll agree. Is that all right?"
Zhuang Mohan nodded. "That's more or less the case. But don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything difficult. I just hope that when you lead Southern Qing to unify the world one day, you will treat the people of Northern Qi with kindness."
Why did the topic suddenly turn to this?
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment. "Sir, you must be mistaken. I'm just a sponsor of the Inspection Institute."
Zhuang Mohan continued, "Hmph, stop acting in front of me. You're recruiting talented people from around the world, and you're coming up with these difficult problems that will benefit the people for generations to come. If you say you don't have ambitions for the world, I won't believe you even if you kill me."
"Also, I saw your behavior in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. If I were Emperor Qing, I would never let a scourge like you stay. It's only a matter of time before he attacks you. With your wisdom, you can definitely see this. I didn't understand it before, but now I do. I feel that Emperor Qing is no match for you. Sooner or later, the world of Southern Qing will fall into your hands, and when the time comes, you will become the emperor."
"With an opponent like you, I truly don't see any hope for Northern Qi to win. That's why I want a promise from you. If one day you unify the world, I hope you will treat every citizen kindly and kill as little as possible."
Zhuang Mohan's words were truly heartfelt.
Deep in his eyes was worry.
If you want to unify the world, war is absolutely necessary.
Once a war breaks out, only ordinary people will suffer.
It's normal for Zhuang Mohan to have such concerns.
A scholar who cares about his country and his people is a true scholar.
If not, he would not have become a great master of contemporary literature.
At this time, Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Since you've explained it all, sir, I guess I have to be honest. Yes, I do have ambitions to rule the world, but you've miscalculated one thing. Conquering the world is not a difficult task for me. Your worries are truly unnecessary."
"Oh? It's redundant?" Zhuang Mohan was puzzled.
Lu Xiao said, "Sir, this world is vast, far beyond your imagination. Sometimes, absolute power can suppress everything. Unifying the world doesn't necessarily require war. From now on, you should focus on studying here. I believe that day will come soon."
Lu Xiao didn't say it too clearly.
And even if you tell it openly, no one will believe it.
After all, suppressing the entire world with one's own strength has never happened in the history of Joy of Life.
Only when that day comes, will people in the world truly believe.
After saying this, Lu Xiao left Zhuang Mohan alone in Dengtian Pavilion and left Yunlu Academy alone.
Of course, he specially arranged several people to take care of Zhuang Mohan's daily life in the future.
It is estimated that before the annotation of the eleventh level book is completed, Zhuang Mohan will directly take over the place.
Chapter 252 About to Leave
Honglu Temple.
After Zhuang Mohan was snatched away by Lu Xiao, the Northern Qi delegation was in a dilemma.
It's definitely not an option to leave at this time.
No matter what, they had to find a way to get Zhuang Mohan back.
Otherwise, upon returning to Northern Qi, they would surely be punished by the Northern Qi emperor.
Maybe even lose your head.
So they gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Unfortunately, we have been discussing this for almost a day and still haven't come to a conclusion.
At this time, Zhuang Mohan's letter arrived at the Northern Qi delegation.
After reading the contents of the letter, the Northern Qi envoy Qi II was shocked.
"We have never given up, why did you surrender to the enemy?"
The officials of the mission wailed one after another.
They didn't doubt the letter's authenticity. After all, Zhuang Mohan's handwriting wasn't something anyone could imitate. Furthermore, the person who delivered the letter was Zhuang Mohan's old servant, who was very loyal to him.
Everyone in Northern Qi knew this.
Fortunately, Zhuang Mohan not only wrote a letter to them, but also specially wrote one to the young emperor of Northern Qi.
With this letter, they can finally go back and report.
Thus, the Northern Qi delegation set off reluctantly, without any joy from the successful negotiations.
The next day, Lu Xiao followed his previous instructions and announced it to the world directly in the name of the Inspection Office.
Zhuang Mohan, the great master of the world's literary world, decided to stay at Nanqing Yunlu Academy as the dean.
Yunlu Academy also announced that it would begin recruiting its first batch of students in two months.
Welcome students from all over the world.
When this news came out, everyone from Emperor Qing to ordinary people were shocked.
At the same time, Lu Xiao also gave a brief introduction to the checkpoints he had set up on the first ten floors of the Ascension Pavilion.
The clearance conditions were also changed to: once one of the levels was passed, the player could ask Lu Xiao to do something for him.
This is the Grand Master's promise.
It is worth many times more than so-called wealth, honor, high position and generous salary.
It was also from this day that Yunlu Academy, the sacred place in the eyes of future scholars, finally made its way onto the stage of Joy of Life.
Half a month later, at the Kyoto Inspection Bureau headquarters.
Lu Xiao arrived at the Inspection Office early this morning, intending to discuss some matters with Chen Pingping.
The peace talks concluded, and the Northern Qi delegation left. Naturally, the Southern Qing side would also send a return delegation.
At the same time, Xiao En and Si Lili were sent back to Northern Qi.
Lu Xiao had already decided to go with Si Lili.
So today he came to say goodbye to Chen Pingping and ask Chen Pingping to help him look after a place.
If nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Qing will definitely take action once he leaves.
He would not feel at ease without Chen Pingping's guidance.
But as soon as he entered the gate, he saw a familiar person.
"Oh, isn't this our little poet? Why did you come to the procuratorate in person today?"
Lu Xiao laughed and teased.
That person is Fan Xian.
At this moment, after hearing Lu Xiao's words, Fan Xian immediately said with a red face.
"Brother Lu, please stop insulting me. I've already told you that those poems were memorized from the immortal realm. They weren't written by me. My door has been nearly knocked down these days. It's really annoying. I swear, I'll never write poetry again."
Lu Xiao said, "Okay, I believe what you say, but others don't. The idea of the immortal world is too vague after all. Can't you find another excuse?"
Fan Xian was stunned. "What? You believe it?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, is there a problem?"
Zhuang Mohan was currently in Dengtian Pavilion, annotating many ancient books of Chinese civilization.
After explaining these things, Lu Xiao would definitely not keep them secret, but would definitely promote them to the entire world.
By then, the existence of the previous civilization will no longer be a secret.
Therefore, Lu Xiao felt that there was no need to continue pretending to be a decent person in front of Fan Xian.
Therefore, when talking, I became more casual.
Even if Fan Xian finds out, it's no big deal.
He'll find out sooner or later anyway.
In addition, Fan Xian had already broken into the palace at night.
However, this time without Li Yunrui and Yan Xiaoyi, he was able to get through very smoothly.
No bad consequences were caused.
At this moment, he already knew the truth about the world of Joy of Life.
I also realized that I have always been on Earth.
It's just that the Earth is much later.
Therefore, even if he knew that Lu Xiao was also a time traveler, it would not have any impact on Lu Xiao.
Being a stranger in a foreign land.
Being able to meet someone from the same era countless years in the future is something worth celebrating for both Fan Xian and Lu Xiao.
Otherwise, Lu Xiao wouldn't have deliberately helped Fan Xian so many times before.
After all, they are fellow villagers.
Even if the two people lived in different times before they traveled through time, they were still from the same hometown.
"No, how can you believe it? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Fan Xian was completely bewildered.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Because I've also been to the Immortal Realm."
What the hell?
Fan Xian was completely dumbfounded this time.
He subconsciously thought: "Could there really be a fairyland?"
Alas, I still got it wrong after all.
This time, Lu Xiao did not continue to explain, but asked.
"What are you doing here today? Are you also looking for Dean Chen?"
After Fan Xian came to his senses, he nodded immediately.
"Yes, I just came out of the palace. His Majesty gave me an errand to escort Sean and sister-in-law to Northern Qi, so I wanted to talk to the dean."
He called Lu Xiao "Big Brother," so naturally he had to call Si Lili "Sister-in-law."
Lu Xiao wasn't too surprised.
Because this was planned by Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping from the beginning.
Emperor Qing wanted to get the exact location of the Temple from Sean.
That's why he teamed up with Chen Pingping and spent twenty years to lay out a flawless plan.
This is the final stage of the game.
Lu Xiao was not interested in this matter and had no intention of intervening.
Before he came, he even asked Zhuang Mohan if he wanted him to save Xiao En's life.
But Zhuang Mohan refused.
He said that he came to Nanqing to rescue Sean simply out of brotherly love and didn't want Sean to die in a foreign land. After all, Sean was not young anymore.
Even if I die, my soul must return to its homeland.
Therefore, as long as Sean can return to Northern Qi, his life and death will be determined by him.
The old man is quite open-minded.
Therefore, Lu Xiao only needed to ensure that Xiao En returned to Northern Qi alive, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
So he said directly: "Then let's go together."
After saying that, the two of them walked inside at the same time.
Soon, the two entered the inspection hall.
Honestly, the lighting in the Inspection Office is too dim, and it has a rather eerie feel.
If I get a chance in the future, I will definitely make some changes.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but think of this.
Not long after they started walking, Chen Pingping appeared in front of them in a wheelchair.
