Chapter 135 The Rest of Yi Xiaochuan's Life
"Hey, have you heard? It is said that the palace on the moon has been built. On an auspicious day next month, His Majesty will lead all the ministers to the moon palace!"
"I heard that my son's aunt's aunt's son's wife's cousin is in the Ministry of Industry. I heard that everyone will ride Kunpeng to the sky this time!"
"That huge Kunpeng is sleeping in the flattened Mount Li. Let me tell you, the last time I followed the construction team to blast the mountain, the thunder god bounced down, it was incredible! Thunder in dry land is no more than that!"
"I told you long ago that our Majesty is a god descended from heaven! Otherwise, how could so many magical instruments follow him to the human world?"
"And Zhao Fuling, he is a real god of food!"
"That's right, that's right. Recently, Zhao Fuling has launched a new tomato egg drop soup. Have you tried it? It's so delicious~"
……
Passersby walked away chatting and laughing.
White snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. Yi Xiaochuan, whose hands and feet were covered with frostbite, could not help but huddle in the corner of the street.
Until today, when things have come to this point, he still hasn't figured out why things have turned out this way.
Why did he and Gao Yao have to go to this point?
Obviously... he insisted on not changing history in order to ensure that the historical trajectory was correct, so that they could be born and grow up normally in the future...
Then, perhaps, they could once again be "normal" and travel back to a normal Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty must have been barbaric and backward, and there would be no flying vehicles and robots like those seen in science fiction works.
That Ying Zheng would definitely die on the way to the east tour, not like now, where he is already over a hundred years old but still as young as a young man in his twenties!
Liu Bang had died long ago, and there would no longer be another Emperor Wu of Han in this world. The young Wei Qing had already been recruited by Ying Zheng a long time ago, and even became the first person to land on the moon.
...Just listen to whether this is outrageous or not! ?
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
It was not until the day when Gao Yao killed him that Yi Xiaochuan realized the hatred in Gao Yao's heart that was almost uncontrollable.
But he had no idea where this hatred came from before.
After all, Yi Xiaochuan believed that he had been good enough to Gao Yao, his brother who was dragged down by him and forced to travel to the Qin Dynasty together.
This question was not answered until Yi Xiaochuan was no longer Yi Xiaochuan, but became a disabled beggar who was looked down upon all the time and even had a hard time staying alive.
He finally remembered that Gao had told him about it.
Gao Yao once cried in front of him with red eyes, telling him how he was bullied and teased like a dog, how he had nothing to eat, nothing to drink... and he almost died.
But what did Yi Xiaochuan say when facing Gao Yao who was almost driven crazy?
He said, "That's all in the past. Zhao Gao was a treacherous minister. You can't become Zhao Gao!"
He thought that his tone must have been very harsh at the time, otherwise, why would Gao Yao suddenly become so devastated after he said this.
If it were the Yi Xiaochuan of the past, he would never be able to understand why Gao Yao became like that.
But now, after going through so much, he finally understands.
It turns out...it turns out...from the beginning to the end, Yi Xiaochuan never took seriously all the suffering that Gao Yao had endured.
He only knew how to self-righteously accuse Gao Yao of showing malice towards others, fearing that he would really become the real Zhao Gao because of this.
But in the end, how did Zhao Gao appear?
Ultimately, the one who was wrong was not Gao Yao, but Yi Xiaochuan who always ignored Gao Yao's pain and forced him to become Zhao Gao step by step...
When he first became a beggar, Yi Xiaochuan was very unwilling to accept it.
He felt that with his intelligence and outstanding abilities, even if he did not join the now eccentric Qin, he could still stand out and prosper again.
But the facts have proved that without identity and status, without connections and handsome looks, even if he is full of talent, he can only end up like a pearl in the dust and be unpopular everywhere.
It was not until then that he realized how much convenience his initial acquaintance with Xiang Yu and others had brought him.
Gao Yao, who was in exile from the very beginning, must have suffered a lot to be able to survive in this cannibalistic feudal society.
The so-called unfairness of fate that troubled him and that he hated had, from the very beginning, been the pinnacle that many people could never reach.
In this way, Yi Xiaochuan went around in circles, but because of his bad temper at the beginning and his self-esteem and face that he could never let go of, he got worse and worse.
Originally he was just a simple beggar. Although he had no money or food, he still had a shabby place to live.
However, as Yi Xiaochuan continued to commit suicide, he lost his house, his body became weaker and weaker from being beaten again and again, and finally he became completely disabled in the fierce conflict.
There's nothing he can do about it. It's his own fault. He always fails to recognize his current situation consciously and always thinks that he is still the high-spirited and martial arts-skilled Yi Xiaochuan.
For this reason, he had provoked many people whom he could not beat or afford to offend more than once. Getting beaten became almost commonplace, and finally he ended up wandering the streets in this miserable state.
While Yi Xiaochuan was still feeling sorry for himself, a luxuriously decorated solar-powered automatic car sped past on the street.
As they were about to turn the corner, the lady in the carriage suddenly looked back with a sense of realization.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Lu Le (also known as Princess Lu Yuan, whose name may be Liu Le) looked up and glanced curiously at Lu Zhi who was looking out.
"…Nothing. I seemed to see an old friend. But that person should be dead. Maybe I saw it wrong."
The well-maintained Lu Zhi shook her head, then frowned and asked about Lu Le's work.
"How are the railgun architecture models going? His Majesty estimates that a 'Great Wall' composed entirely of railguns will be built over Kyushu within five years. We cannot let His Majesty down!"
Hearing this, Lu Le pushed up his glasses, nodded seriously, and said:
"Don't worry, mother. Zhang Cang*, the Marquis of Beiping, and I have been working overtime to build the model these days, and it's almost finished."
"That's good... By the way, let's go out for dinner someday. Working every day can't delay your blind date. How old are you...balbala..."
"Well, mother... the universe is not at peace yet, I really don't have the heart to indulge in romantic relationships!"

Zhang Cang: A top mathematician and first-class military strategist in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. He was also one of the compilers of the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, the other being Geng Shouchang.
The wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty almost destroyed the unified weights and measures that Qin Shihuang had used. As a result, in the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the weights and measures in various places were in chaos and had no standards.
Later, Zhang Cang re-measured the measurement standards for various types of utensils, and from then on "made standards for the world", which put production in all walks of life back on track.
