The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 407: Everyone in the World Shared a Dream
In the future, many unofficial historians believed that Chen Shen was good in everything: he had great luck, great talent, great wisdom, great courage and decisiveness, and great prestige and righteousness. However, there was just one thing: he could not control his own belt. Although he felt good for a while, he lost a large star fleet because of it.

It is even worse than the loss of Wancheng by Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.

When Cao had achieved success, he indulged in pleasure and lost a son, a nephew and a bodyguard. He also caused the loss of Wancheng, which he had just conquered, thus making himself a laughing stock.

Chen Shen was a proud man who made careless promises in the arms of a beautiful woman, which led to the loss of the pillar of the country and the sword of the human race, which is even more heartbreaking.

The fourth lady of the Shenhou clan is even more regarded by people as a disaster that could bring disaster to the country, just like Mei Xi and Daji, and a typical representative of the Beauty Trap among the Thirty-Six Strategies of Strategies.

As the saying goes, the fourth lady was deliberate and Chen Shen lost his mind and fell into the trap.

Many people also don't understand. Chen Shen is known for his strategy. He has used countless conspiracies and plots on the battlefield, and has also engaged in all kinds of intrigues and broken promises. Why did he keep his word with a scheming woman from a foreign race? Was it just because she was beautiful?
Some people even questioned Chen Shen personally about this.

He just smiled in response and often said "A man without faith cannot stand", but he never really explained the reason.

As a result, Madam Li later wrote a poem to scold Chen Shen: Zou Qin lost Ah Man due to his bad luck, but he is better off climbing a monkey and an old animal! !
Chen Shen, who was preparing to return to the Song Dynasty, had no idea what kind of criticism he would face in the future.

After spending some time with the Fourth Lady, he set out on his journey home.

Chen Shen wanted to return to the Song Dynasty quickly, but it was naturally difficult to do so by directly taking a warship.

The only thing we can rely on is the ubiquitous web.

As one end of the super-large network, the strategic position of the Alpha Centauri system is naturally extremely important.

The Alpha Centauri system is a unique triple star system in which the two larger stars orbit each other at a relatively fast speed, with no planetary bodies in orbit around them.

The third star at the far end orbits around the two, and each revolution takes about 547,000 times the orbital period of the blue star in the solar system.

This third star originally had a companion planet similar to the solar system, but in the ancient interstellar wars, most of the planets were destroyed and turned into countless cosmic dust. Only two planets were fortunately preserved.

One of the Earth-like planets is located within the habitable zone of the third star, making it a planet with great potential for colonization. This Earth-like planet is called Horseshoe Centauri (Proxima b).

The so-called habitable zone refers to a planet that revolves around a star. Because of its moderate distance from the star, it has an environment suitable for life under the influence of the star. Such a planet cannot be too close to the star or too far away. This moderate orbital range is called the habitable zone.

For example, the Blue Star is located within the habitable zone of the Sun and is on an almost perfect orbit.

Each star has a different habitable zone range due to its different mass and activity level.

For example, the third star in the Alpha Centauri system is a red dwarf with a mass only one-eighth of the mass of the sun, so the habitable zone of this star is closer to the star.

Of course, this also leads to the planetary environment of Horseshoe Star within its habitable zone being relatively harsh.

Because the planet is too close to the third star, the tidal effect of the third star causes the Horseshoe to be tidally locked, making the Horseshoe always face the third star with the same side (the same is true for the Moon to the Earth and Mercury to the Sun).

This synchronous rotation causes the temperature on the dark side of the Horseshoe to be extremely low, while the temperature on the day side is extremely high.

Moreover, the amount of ultraviolet radiation and X-ray radiation on the surface of Horseshoe Planet is almost hundreds of times that of the surface of the Blue Planet.

But this does not deny that Horseshoe Star has certain colonization potential.

After all, the ancient saints of ancient times built many webway entrances on this type of planet.

Chen Shen wanted to return to the planet where the Song Dynasty was located through the webway on the Horseshoe Star.

The Fourth Lady paid great attention and support to the matter of sending Chen Shen away. She certainly wanted to get rid of Chen Shen as soon as possible.

The fourth lady's intention was not only to covet the second mate she had just obtained - although this position was not permanent in normal times and was only temporarily appointed by the captain in wartime, it could only be regarded as a temporary job, but after the fourth lady took the position of second mate, as long as Chen Shen left, her authority and status on the [Azure Pearl] would be second only to the first mate Moas.

The physique of the Adar people has undergone evolutionary adjustments over tens of millions of years. The metabolic rate of individuals of this race is almost ten times that of humans, and their sensory acuity is also several times that of humans. This allows them to receive greater emotional stimulation when faced with certain physical stimulations.

This is also the reason why the Fourth Lady was always defeated miserably when she had sex with Chen Shen.

The fourth lady Kong had a stronger physique than Chen Shen, but her senses were too sharp and she had to surrender after a few moves, so she could only be a noob, crying monster.

Originally, for the Aidari people, this was a good thing as more intense sensory stimulation brought better quality of enjoyment.

However, it was precisely because the Eldari indulged in decadent enjoyment that the rise of the fourth evil god of the warp occurred, causing the great destruction of the Eldari civilization.

Since the fourth evil god cursed the entire Eldari race when he rose to power, any Eldari and their descendants who indulge in pleasure will be bewitched by the evil god and become corrupted.

All the living descendants of the Eldari, including the Celestials, are extremely afraid of indulging in pleasure, because no one wants their soul to fall into the control of the evil god and suffer eternal despair and torture.

Although the time that Si Niangzi and Chen Shen spent together was not long, she was really fascinated by the sensual enjoyment, which inevitably attracted the evil god's tempting whispers.

That's right! Recently, the fourth lady has heard inexplicable whispers from the bottom of her heart. The whispers seem inaudible, but they are frightening and full of temptation.

All descendants of the Aeldari who have never abandoned the heritage of the Aeldari civilization know what these terrible whispers mean.

Only those descendants of the Eldari who deliberately dulled their senses and exiled themselves to remote wildernesses have managed to escape this doom.

The fourth lady was afraid of the whispers, but because of her nature, she could not resist the sensory enjoyment brought by having sex with Chen Shen. So with Chen Shen on the "Blue Pearl", the fourth lady struggled between pleasure and desperate fear every day. This unique psychological fluctuation even brought more extreme and distorted sensory stimulation.

The Fourth Lady knew very well that it would be difficult to escape from this horrific predicament relying solely on her own willpower, otherwise the once-great overlord of the starry sky would not have been destroyed so terribly overnight.

The only way to solve this problem is to let Chen Shen leave.

As the saying goes, it's a matter for two people, and it takes two hands to clap.

As long as Chen Shen leaves the [Azure Pearl], the Fourth Lady will have her own way to get herself out of this predicament.

After all, the descendants of the Adari have gained more than 100,000 years of experience in struggling for survival.

Chen Shen once again experienced the wonderful process of orbital airborne.

To be honest, this experience is not pleasant, because every experience can be described as a desperate journey to death.

During the orbital landing, if Chen Shen made a wrong move, he would be smashed into a real pulp.

Fortunately, Chen Shen no longer needed to manually operate the airdrop capsule, as the high-level elites had perfect access to most of the battleship's control areas, including the battleship's own combat readiness production area.

Although they were still unable to produce Phoenix series flying wing craft that could be used for atmospheric combat or transportation due to a shortage of resources, they had no problem building a few simple airdrop capsules without a power system.

No matter how “simple” the newly built simple airdrop capsule is, in terms of various functions, it is more than ten times more powerful than the one Chen Shen had made by hand.

For this airdrop, Chen Shen traveled with Si Niangzi.

The reason is simple. Chen Shen does not have the key to open the small web channel entrance in this area.

The Soul Temple's divine plan was flawless. He only authorized Chen Shen the most important strategic network. As for those seemingly minor branches, only the orthodox descendants of the Aidari had the natural authorization.

In other words, if Chen Shen wanted to return home quickly, he couldn't do without the help of the Fourth Lady, otherwise he would have to spend twenty years flying back little by little.

In the world of scheming, this is called an open conspiracy.

All the calculations are laid out in the open. It's either a win-win situation or a lose-lose situation. It all depends on how Chen Shen chooses.

Chen Shen is not stupid, so he naturally knows how to make the choice that is most beneficial to himself.

That's why he was able to take down the fourth lady with his strong force and "sleep" her directly.

Otherwise, given the Fourth Lady's previously unbalanced mentality, let alone win-win cooperation, I'm afraid that internal friction would be the only result.

Needless to say, Chen Shen and the fourth lady successfully arrived at the surface of Horseshoe Star in the airdrop capsule. Horseshoe Star itself is an Earth-like rocky planet with a surface full of mountains, rocks and deserts, dense rock formations, and crisscrossing gullies.

Their landing point was at the junction of the daytime and dark night areas of the Horseshoe Star, which is near the so-called twilight zone.

The harsh environment of the twilight zone is mainly manifested in two aspects: the atmosphere cannot provide oxygen for the survival of living things, and the directional strong winds caused by the temperature difference between the day and night zones.

Fortunately, Chen Shen and the fourth lady had made sufficient preparations for this.

They wore heavy immobilization armor that protected them from being blown away by super hurricanes of level 14 or 15.

They traveled with difficulty in the hurricane. Even with the three-dimensional map of the planet left by their predecessors, they still spent a lot of effort looking for the remains of civilization left by the ancient saints and the Eldari.

After all, after tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes, the surface features of Horseshoe Star have long been unrecognizable.

Their only advantage is that the navigator on the Azure Pearl can provide them with real-time coordinate guidance, allowing them to get closer to their theoretical target point little by little.

Finally, the two found their target point in a super canyon.

The entrance to the webway was originally buried deep under solid rock, but tens of thousands of years of hurricane damage almost blew away the rock protection on top of the entrance.

It is conceivable that if tens of thousands of years pass, the entrance to this webway will be destroyed by the harsh environment of Horseshoe Star.

This is also the main reason why the webway projects left by the ancient saints are gradually shrinking.

If the terrain at the entrance to the Webway deteriorates like this, the super civilization of the Old Saints can choose another location to rebuild a new Webway entrance; but the subsequent Eldari civilization can only stack armor for protection at the original site of the Webway entrance.

Now that the Eldari civilization has almost disappeared, the maintenance of the web system is even more lacking.

(I personally think that the Emperor next door started the Webway War just to inherit the legacy of the previous civilization, but the inheritance ceremony was destroyed by the filial son Ma. If it weren't for Xiao Ma's psychic phone call, the defense of Terra might have been a comedy scene of "one arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet".

Among the nine filial sons, the other eight had their own reasons for betraying him, but Xiao Ma had to find another employer to protect his life because he had caused such a big mess).

Under the auspices of the Fourth Lady, the entrance to the webway was successfully opened.

Chen Shen watched as the Fourth Lady was taken back to the [Azure Pearl] by the teleportation beam, then he put away the teleportation beacon and walked into the webway.

Under normal circumstances, the speed of this kind of webway transmission over a range of several light years (based on the perception of the person being teleported) is very fast, and there is almost no difference from the passage of time outside the webway.

But Chen Shen seemed to have been walking in the network for half a year.

When he walked out of the web portal deep in Meiling Mountain, most people in the entire Song Dynasty had already fallen into an inexplicable memory disorder.

At that time, Emperor Zhao was in office and Prime Minister Cai was in charge of the government. In the first year of Chongyou, he listed Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Su Che and 120 others, calling them "traitors". He also engraved the name on stone at Duanli Gate and government offices in various places with his own calligraphy.

In the third year of Chongyou, Deputy Prime Minister Li Gefei was demoted to Huangzhou and served as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi.

Cai Jing and his gang redefined the treacherous party and included a group of Su Shi's disciples headed by Su Shi and Li Gefei, a total of 309 people. They engraved the name of the party on the east wall of Wende Hall with the imperial calligraphy, and Cai Jing wrote "Yuanyou Party Membership" by hand and engraved it on the stone for the world to see.

All those whose names were on the party list would be imprisoned, and their descendants would not be able to hold official positions in the capital or nearby provinces.

Li Gefei was lying on the bed in his official residence in Huangzhou, holding a half-rolled book in his hand and sighing towards the bright moon in front of the window.

Ever since he was banished from the capital, he had been having a strange dream.

In the dream, he served as the Minister of the Left of the Song Dynasty as a descendant of the Su family, and tried his best to protect the Su family from persecution by Cai Jing and his party. In particular, his cheap future son-in-law, whom he had not seen for many years, came to Beijing with the invisible trend of recruiting the Zhennan Righteous Army to help him, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Gefei in the court.

At the end of the dream, Chen Zhunxu followed the rebel army to the west on an expedition and his whereabouts became unknown.

Even so, Li Gefei still hoped that what happened in his dream was true. After all, no matter what, the disciples of Su in the dream would not be caught in one fell swoop by the traitor Cai Jing as in reality.

But Li Gefei knew that this was impossible.

The rebellion of the Zhennan Righteous Army was just put down half a year ago. All the leaders of the rebels were recruited and pardoned by Prime Minister Zeng, and have now been transferred to the northwest to suppress the rebellion of the foreign general Zhao Huaide. How could it be the turn of his future son-in-law to intervene and make a contribution?

Li Gefei had been having strange dreams for more than half a year, almost every night. But last night he fell into a deep sleep and no longer had these dreams.

It was not just Li Gefei. Over the past six months, many people and officials in the Song Dynasty had had this experience. The dreams they had were all similar, and when they spoke to others the next day, they all felt the same.

Li Gefei didn't know whether this dream was good or bad, but the sage said: The Master does not speak of strange and supernatural things.

He looked at the bright moon outside the window and sighed deeply.

But suddenly, he saw a figure in front of the window, and then a familiar but unfamiliar voice sounded, saying, "Mr. Li, you have just woken up from your dream. Do you recognize your old friend?"
