My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

But Qin Beifeng was in the same situation, his identity and status were too high.

Therefore, he was not immediately executed.

They gave Qin Beifeng a bit of face, selecting an auspicious time to carry out his execution.

This was already one of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's last few acts of kindness.

On the other hand, Qin Yanqiu also knew that even if Cheng Guang pleaded with Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, to spare her father, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, no matter how much he doted on Cheng Guang, would not compromise on this matter.

A sense of helplessness rose in Qin Yanqiu's heart.

Lying on the bed, her beautiful eyes looked at Cheng Guang, the normally strong Qin Yanqiu, at this moment, her beautiful eyes faintly shimmered with tears.

Cheng Guang chose to ignore Qin Yanqiu's expression at this time.

He couldn't save Qin Beifeng either.

Cheng Guang sat at the table beside him, if it weren't for the matter concerning Qin Beifeng, and with Qin Yanqiu coming to his bedroom, he would not have been courteous and would have devoured Qin Yanqiu.

But with the issue of Qin Beifeng at hand, Cheng Guang also lost much interest in matters of men and women.

The sky grew darker, and midnight was approaching.

Cheng Guang knew that the system's new mission would very likely be issued soon, so he simply sat there, propping his chin with one hand, idly waiting.

Qin Yanqiu was not sleepy; she had come today mainly to complete the act of marriage with Cheng Guang.

To try to conceive Cheng Guang's offspring.

Hoping Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, would consider her face and not make things difficult for Qin Beifeng.

However, since arriving in the bedroom, Qin Yanqiu realized that Cheng Guang hardly let his gaze fall upon her.

She was already lying on the bed, and Cheng Guang still showed no reaction.

This caused Qin Yanqiu to doubt her own charm somewhat.

At the same time, she was a bit deflated.

Cheng Guang didn't know Qin Yanqiu's thoughts at this time; if he did, he'd probably want to laugh.

Dressed in the Silvermoon Battle Armor, with a cold demeanor, she didn't look like she was there to share a bed at all.

To the uninformed, it might seem that Qin Yanqiu was gearing up to head into battle to slay a few Demon Beasts.

Cheng Guang had not been very interested in Qin Yanqiu to start with, so seeing her fully armed like this, he lost all interest completely.

Sitting at the desk, Cheng Guang waited for the task prompt from the system to echo in his mind.

When midnight arrived.

An icy, emotionless voice sounded in his mind.

[On the 34th year of the Zhensheng era, the 70th day as a Sky-Man in the Heavenly Human Realm, you uncovered the hidden puppet master among the Northern Expedition Army. You never expected that the mastermind would turn out to be a senior general within the army, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's most trusted Qin Beifeng.]

[Upon learning this information, your heart was shaken, finding it hard to believe. At the same time, you also realized that Qin Beifeng's ability to seize the exact moment to withdraw from the Border Area battlefield and instigate a military coup during the internal strife of the Great Yan Dynasty was not a coincidence.]

[It was a scenario well-planned in advance.]

[It suddenly dawned on you that if this was also a premeditated event, it meant that Qin Beifeng was merely a pawn and that there was still a pusher behind him.]

[The more you thought about it, the more shocking it became. Just who was capable of orchestrating the turmoil within the Great Yan Dynasty back then and could even manipulate the military power of the dynasty, withdrawing from the Border Area battlefield and creating such an opportunity for Qin Beifeng?]

[The thought occurred to you that, soon after the Northern Expedition Army suffered damage, there were whispers within the Great Yan of remnants from Great Chu. You wondered if all this could be the work of the remnants from Great Chu.]

[The more you thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, although, the Chu remnants had barely surfaced before they were hunted down and executed by the World Royal Family, without causing much of a disturbance.]

[Thinking of this, you felt somewhat disappointed that you couldn't personally punish the Chu remnant who caused the death of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan.]
Your next read awaits at empire

[The portrait of the Chu remnant was widely circulated; they were exceedingly beautiful, and their body was never found. You speculated that perhaps the Chu remnant was not dead.]

[You planned to take some time to travel to the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, Skyfire City, to search for traces of the Chu remnant.]

[Four-star mission: Find the Chu remnant.]

[Mission reward: Princess Tomb.]

After listening to the system's task prompt, Cheng Guang's expression turned odd.

He had been curious as to how Qin Beifeng managed to predict so accurately the Dynasty's chaos and withdrawal from the Border Area battlefield.

All the arrangements made by Qin Beifeng were for this moment.

It was as if Qin Beifeng knew in advance that such an event was going to happen.

Aside from the possibility of Qin Beifeng being a reborn individual, there was only one other possibility, that the chaos originated within the Great Yan Dynasty was neither accidental nor sudden.

It was also a premeditated event.

Behind Qin Beifeng, there were other people from Great Chu.

Cheng Guang wasn't clear on who the Chu remnant mentioned in the system task prompt was at this moment.

Logically, the Emperor of Chu only married the Empress of Chu, and they had only one child.

That is to say, his former self.

The only person with the royal blood of Chu was him.

So, the Chu remnant couldn't possibly be an offspring of the Emperor of Chu; then who else could it be?
