Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 500
Four eyes facing each other.

Sensing Xia Gui's gaze, Qingqiu was also suddenly startled to realize that he had appeared in his body without noticing it for a while.

Sticking out his tongue in embarrassment, Qingqiu cast another spell to hide his tracks.

At the same time, Xia Gui only felt that the figure behind the statue disappeared in a flash.

He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the statue, wondering if he had hallucinations just now.

After all, how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?
However, with some hope, he hurried to the statue of Xuanyuan.

However, looking behind the empty statue, Xia Gui could only think in a daze—maybe it was really a hallucination just now.

A somewhat frustrated Xia Gui left Xuanyuan Temple with a group of inexplicable courtiers.

After Qingqiu saw that the palace guards surrounding the Xuanyuan Temple had left with Xia Gui, he also returned to the Xuanyuan Tomb in peace, and complained about the nine-headed pheasant spirit very dissatisfied.

Whether it was Xia Gui or Qingqiu, they didn't know that this matter was watched by one person from the beginning to the end.

In the palace of heaven.

After confirming from Haotian that there were indeed three little monsters living in Xuanyuan's tomb, Shen Gui found Qingqiu easily with the Tianjian Jian.

At the same time, he also witnessed the scene where Xia Gui came to Xuanyuan Temple to offer sacrifices.

Seeing Xia Gui, who was still a bit out of his wits until he left in Guantian Jianzhong, Shen Gui couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic—what an unlucky boy.

Although there are many beautiful women around Shen Gui, the two women who have already established a relationship with him, whether it is Wang Shu or Yaoyue, are enough to be called all-powerful.

However, the moment he saw Qingqiu, Shen Gui was still amazed.

He had to admit that if it was only about appearance, the nine-tailed celestial fox had indeed reached an extreme.

Under such circumstances, even a fairy might not be able to resist the temptation of Qingqiu's beauty, let alone Xia Gui's mortal body.

He could fully predict that Xia Gui's voice might not be able to escape from that glance.

Of course, now Shen Gui doesn't know that Xia Gui is Xia Jie.

After all, although he is a time traveler, Xia Jie's original name was Gui, and Jie was only a posthumous title, which he had never heard of before time travel.

If he knew that this Xia Gui was the notorious Xia Jie in later generations, then he could only feel unhappy about the cycle of karma.

Cheng Tang overthrew the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty because Xia Jie was fatuous and cruel, but now it seems that the reason why Xia Gui changed from being a leading actor with both civil and military skills to the fatuous and cruel Xia Jie is probably the same as today's shocking A glance is inseparable.

Then Shang Tang died under King Zhou, and in the original history, he was also inseparable from Qingqiu.

Therefore, it is true that Shang prospered in Qingqiu and died in Qingqiu.

Shen Gui didn't let anyone bring Qingqiu back to the Heavenly Court.

Because he knows that his biggest advantage in Conferring the Gods is his familiarity with the plot.

Although the plot has been changed beyond recognition by him now, it is always good to keep some points.

Therefore, it is better for Qingqiu to stay in Xuanyuan Tomb.

On the other hand, after Xia Gui returned to the capital, the ministers were shocked to find that their young monarch with both civil and military skills suddenly disappeared.

After returning from offering sacrifices in Xuanyuan Temple, Xia Gui seldom interfered with political affairs, and spent all day in the palace studying painting with the painter.

No one knows what Xia Gui wants to paint, only that he paints one painting and tears another. Even the best court painters feel that Xia Gui's painting skills have surpassed his own, but Xia Gui is still dissatisfied with the things he painted. satisfy.

At this time, a courtier named Zhao Liang got a painting that Xia Gui forgot to tear up after he finished painting through the waiter next to Xia Gui.

So, for the first time, someone knew what Xia Gui was painting.

The painting is of a young woman.

The woman had a sweet smile, even though she was in the painting, Zhao Liang was stunned.

He is keenly aware that his chance to become a success may be coming.

Zhao Liang secretly dispatched all the people he could use to find such a person according to the appearance of the woman in the painting.

He had a hunch that if he could find the woman in the painting, then he would become the most powerful person in the world except Xia Gui.

Perhaps Zhao Liang's luck was really good, or some kind of power in the dark was at work.

After Zhao Liang searched like this, he really found some clues.

At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the emperors of Xia successively enfeoffed various states in order to consolidate their status, and one of them was the State of Shi.

Lord Shi of the State of Shi had a daughter named Meixi.

Zhao Liang learned that Meixi was not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also had some similarities with the woman in the painting.

So, Zhao Liang found Meixi's portrait and dedicated it to Xia Gui.

That year, Xia Gui asked for a daughter from the king of the state of Shi, but the king of the state of Shi refused to accept it.

In the same year, Xia Gui led troops to attack the state of Youshi.

The Shi family was defeated and asked for peace, and Mei Xi was given to Xia Gui as a spoil of war.

Xia Gui got Meixi, and Zhao Liang became Xia Gui's confidant as he wished.

However, although she got Meixi, Xia Gui actually didn't have much joy in her heart.

Although the girl in front of him was also stunningly beautiful, and her brows and eyes were indeed similar to the alluring face in his mind, but he knew very well that this was not the woman he had been thinking about day and night.

That's probably just an illusion.

However, although she knew all this in her heart, Xia Gui still regarded Meixi as the woman in her mind.

Maybe this is just deceiving myself, but if I can really deceive myself, that's good.

Xia Gui thought so.

As Xia Gui's spoils of war, Meixi naturally has no right to choose.

For Xia Gui, she can only do whatever she wants.

However, although Meixi is very obedient, the only thing Xia Gui regrets is that Meixi doesn't like to laugh.

Even if he forced himself to laugh, that kind of forced smile would only make him feel bad, not make him happy.

And the deepest impression he had on the face in his mind was the sweet smile on her face.

With a bit of regret, but more of the joy of being entrusted with the emotions in my heart, the days passed day by day.

Because she wants to be with Meixi, Xia Gui ignores government affairs every day and indulges in her sensuality.

He became more and more fond of drinking, because only when he was drunk could he convince himself that Meixi in front of him was the person in his mind.

Minister Guan Longfeng and Zong Gu tried to persuade him several times, but nothing worked, and Zhao Liang controlled all the power in the court.

Until one day, Xia Gui and Meixi were having fun in the palace, and Meixi's skirt was accidentally hung on a branch and torn.

The sound of silk cloth being torn rang in her ears, and Meixi was taken aback for a moment, and then, for some reason, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

　Thank you book friend, I don’t know if I’m dead, will I be able to time travel, the book friend looked at Mi Mi in the fog for the reward.
