The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 364: After 360 - s, light up the starry sky for her
Chapter 364: After 360 Chapters, light up the starry sky for her
Ruo Xuan asked Xuanyuan Que, "When do we set off?"
Xuanyuan Que, "You should first figure out how to get your parents to agree."
Ruo Xuan, "Is there a need to think about it? I’ll just tell them I’m going out to play with you, and that’s it!"
Ever since she was little, her parents had always been especially reassured when she went to see Brother Xuanyuan.
Then Ruo Xuan remembered that this time they were going to war, and she guessed her parents really wouldn’t agree.
So she added, "I’ll just say I’m going back to Shaxi County for a visit. If there’s a war, my uncle has to go to battle too, right? I’ll say I’m following behind the army. With my uncle there, my parents will be at ease. Once I’ve set off, Brother Xuanyuan, you can have someone send a letter back to inform my parents of the truth. By then, there’s nothing they can do about it."
Her father had to attend his official duties every day, and her mother had to look after him, so they couldn’t leave the Capital City to chase after her!
Xuanyuan Que, "You’re quite clever, having learned not just to lie but also to proceed without permission."
Ruo Xuan didn’t hear anything amiss and thought the Divine Lord Xuanyuan was praising her. She laughed and said, "Clever, right? And it’s not called lying; it’s called ’All’s fair in war.’ Aren’t we going to pass through Shaxi County on our way to Nanzhou? If I set foot in the territory of Shaxi at that time, haven’t I made a trip to Shaxi County? I’m not lying, am I?"
Is ’All’s fair in war’ used like this? She completely swapped the concept. Xuanyuan Que suddenly felt she would often apply this principle in the future.
Xuanyuan Que, "The war isn’t coming so soon. It’s just the beginning of unusual movements. Your uncle doesn’t need to go to battle yet."
He had wanted to take her out for a walk simply because she had been pained by embroidery needles every day while learning embroidery.
"Oh. That’s fine, too." Ruo Xuan leaned on the windowsill, looking at the starry sky.
She wasn’t as powerful as Xuanyuan Que; she could only spot anomalies in the north, unable to decipher anything else.
"Brother Xuanyuan, where did you see other nations moving as well? I can’t make it out," she said.
The way they interpreted the stars was different from what ordinary people saw.
Mr. Han had taught her, but she found it somewhat simplistic and not quite right.
Ruo Xuan’s understanding of astrology relied on her experience gained from looking up at the stars near the Ruoshui Riverbank for nearly a hundred years.
But how could this compare to Divine Lord Xuanyuan, this ancient being?
Xuanyuan Que was also standing by the window when suddenly his figure disappeared from the spot and then reappeared beside Ruo Xuan.
Ruo Xuan had long gotten used to his sudden appearances and didn’t move an inch, her eyes still fixated on the starry sky.
Xuanyuan Que raised his hand and gently swept it across the night sky.
In an instant, all the stars lit up.
Those visible, and those invisible, all shone brightly.
The Milky Way sparkled brilliantly, a breathtaking sight!
The girl who had been lazily leaning against the window instinctively straightened her back.
Her eyes wide open, she stared unblinkingly at the dazzling galaxy.
The starlight gathered in her eyes, stunningly beautiful.
Xuanyuan Que glanced at her, "Do you see it now?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Ruo Xuan saw that the northern sky had seven stars surrounding a shining Mars, and the light from the seven stars formed an arrow pointing directly at five nations, with three stars aiming at Xuanyuan!
Ruo Xuan exclaimed, "Seven stars encircled? Who could be that powerful?"
Having seven stars encircled around Mars meant that this person could command armies across the land.
That is to say, the other party has the ability and the destiny to unify the world.
It meant that great chaos would soon engulf the world, but a ruler capable of stabilizing the turmoil and unifying the land would emerge.
And since the Mars was in the north, it naturally did not represent Divine Lord Xuanyuan.
Of course, the star of Divine Lord Xuanyuan was not in the mortal realm’s piece of the sky.
Xuanyuan Que, "The Crown Prince of Beiyang Country."
Ruo Xuan did not recognize him, but this Crown Prince really is unlucky! Destined for greatness, yet he encountered the "Lone Star of Heavenly Slaughter."
Ruo Xuan looked toward the star that represented Xuanyuan Que.
Divine Lord Xuanyuan is the brightest star in the sky.
But he is a solitary star, with no others within a hundred miles of him.
Because he reigns over all the stars.
Ruo Xuan pouted unhappily, "There is no star of mine."
She is a flower, not yet ascended to immortality, so there is no star in the sky to represent her.
True companions are two stars that shine together, reflecting light off each other.
The absence of her own star meant that she was not yet worthy to stand by Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s side.
Xuanyuan Que glanced at her, then at his solitary star, and remained silent.
He would make her star shine brightly.
However, considering all the stars are far from Divine Lord Xuanyuan, it wasn’t just her that wasn’t worthy. Ruo Xuan, always optimistic, quickly stopped worrying about it and said, "Three stars point directly at Xuanyuan Country! Beiyang is targeting us."
"Hmm." Xuanyuan Que responded softly.
Three stars pointing directly at Xuanyuan signifies the start of chaos and war from Xuanyuan Country, or because of Xuanyuan Country.
Xuanyuan Country has developed too quickly in the past decade or so, faintly surpassing even the strongest, Beixian Country, causing envy and jealousy among the neighboring nations.
Most importantly, Xuanyuan Country has rice and wheat that yield a thousand catties per mu, for which the neighbor nations spend a vast amount of silver each year to purchase seeds.
Then there are textiles. In the past decade, Xuanyuan Country has introduced one or two new fabrics every year. Apart from the expensive silks and satins coveted by the rich in all countries, there are also affordable cottons and linens, breathable and sweat-absorbing, and waterproof fabrics, etc., that are popular among the common people. Now, most of the cloths sold in other countries’ Cloth Stores are procured from Xuanyuan Country.
Also, Xuanyuan Country’s paper, books, and ink sticks have become the covet of scholars everywhere! Because Xuanyuan’s paper is cheap, fine, and white, and of good quality, they are eagerly sought after by students from all countries.
Besides, there are rouges and powders from Xuanyuan Country, which are simply things that drive women crazy.
If they can’t buy them domestically, they will spend a lot of silver to have someone purchase them from Xuanyuan Country.
Apart from these, herbs, spices, various mushrooms, and mountain delicacies, and soy products are also very famous in Xuanyuan Country.
Because of these products, countless silvers flowed unceasingly into Xuanyuan Country, undoubtedly damaging their interests severely.
In the past, when Xuanyuan Country was newly founded, the national treasury was always empty, and there was never enough silver. Now, the national treasury of Xuanyuan Country even has a surplus.
The Emperor no longer has to worry about a shortage of silver to spend!
Moreover, because the granaries are full, the land tax has been reduced again and again.
It is said that the common people have so much grain they can’t finish eating it all and can use it to feed chickens.
For common people, life is simply about clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
Xuanyuan Country has ensured that their citizens are well-provided for in terms of clothing and food, secure and clear-cut.
How could the people of other countries not be envious? The allegiance of the people is the most frightening thing.
And what’s terrifying is Xuanyuan’s cheap books and paper, which has made it possible for students from humble backgrounds to never worry about being unable to afford paper, enabling many ordinary families to educate themselves!
There are also wisdom-enhancing inks that enlighten and open up intelligence! In recent years, many great poems, verses, and essays have come from the scholars of Xuanyuan Country.
Knowledge breeds talent.
A country with an abundance of talented individuals is bound to prosper and grow strong.
The swift rise of Xuanyuan Country, a young nation established not long ago, has deeply threatened the neighboring nations, greatly affecting their interests.
How can a person sleep soundly by the side of a couch that threatens to collapse? The rise of Xuanyuan Country has forced others to think of ways to suppress it.
The conflicts in Nanzhou also originated from a minor clash.
