My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Experience new stories on empire

If it weren't for the bloodline of the Great Chu imperial family, it likely wouldn't be called the remnants.

At most, they would be deemed the remains of Great Chu.

Could it be that the Emperor of Great Chu, behind the Empress's back, found another woman and had an illegitimate child?

Cheng Guang stroked his chin, pondering such thoughts.

Although this line of thinking was a bit disrespectful towards the Emperor and Empress of Great Chu,

one had to admit, it was indeed a possibility.

As Cheng Guang pondered, his gaze shifted over the system's mission.

He noticed that, according to the system's mission, the Great Chu remnant was said to have already died, and moreover, died in Skyfire City, the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

It was said that he had already died.

But no body was ever found.

The system also assigned him this task, to search for the Great Chu remnant.

One could foresee that the Great Chu remnant had not really died.

Cheng Guang clicked his tongue, realizing that whoever could plot against Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, and even succeed, was clearly no ordinary Great Chu remnant.

Those who survived amidst the encircling suppression of the World Royal Family were even less ordinary.

This Great Chu remnant was not just anybody.

His own mission to complete this task would not be so easy.

At this moment, Cheng Guang also realized that if the one behind Qin Beifeng truly was the Great Chu remnant, then could he possibly contact that "Great Chu remnant" through Qin Beifeng?

Cheng Guang felt that it might indeed be possible.

To let Qin Beifeng lead him to the Great Chu remnant, Qin Beifeng could not be allowed to die so easily for the time being.

Cheng Guang gently rubbed his forehead. Originally, he had no intention of involving himself in this matter; he could not expose his identity for the time being.

Saving Qin Beifeng would bring little benefit and may instead bury a hidden danger for himself.

Who knows, after being saved by him, whether Qin Beifeng would continue to idle about with nothing better to do than attempt to assassinate him.

Having a Ninth-order Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse like Qin Beifeng by his side made him feel somewhat intimidated.

But at the moment, he still had to hope to make contact with that Great Chu remnant through Qin Beifeng, so Qin Beifeng could not die yet.

Cheng Guang contemplated as his gaze fell to the window.

Outside the window, the great night enveloped everything, with stars twinkling in the sky.

Cheng Guang's sight settled on Qin Yanqiu lying on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, who had fallen asleep.

Cheng Guang noticed that there were still some tears at the corners of Qin Yanqiu's eyes.

He sighed.

He walked quietly to the side of the bed, gently wiped the tears from the corners of Qin Yanqiu's eyes, picked up her delicate body, embraced her, covered her tightly with the blanket, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day.

When the sky was slightly bright.

Cheng Guang had already gotten up.

Qin Yanqiu was still asleep.

Last night, Cheng Guang had not done anything to Qin Yanqiu.

Her Silvermoon Battle Armor chafed him.

After hugging her for a while, Cheng Guang found it unbearable.

For the latter half of the night, they basically slept separately.

After getting up, Cheng Guang washed up briefly, then headed towards the military prison in North City.

The military prison within North City was not far from Duke Zhen's Mansion.

Primarily, soldiers who had committed reversals of conduct were imprisoned there.

Most of them had made minor mistakes.

If the offense were serious, they would be executed on the spot by their superior officers.

And among them, the only person who had made a serious mistake and was still alive was Qin Beifeng.

Deep inside the military prison.

Qin Beifeng was bound by iron chains on his hands and feet, looking haggard.

Having not seen him for a day, Qin Beifeng's figure had become much thinner than the day before, his complexion pale, and the corners of his mouth were stained with traces of fresh blood.

One could not see any trace of the former valiant general.

Cheng Guang entered the prison and couldn't help feeling a pang of sorrow seeing Qin Beifeng's condition.

"Princely Heir, General Qin is here. For safety, it's better if the Princely Heir does not enter the cell,"

The soldiers escorting Cheng Guang into the military prison spoke respectfully.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly without much regard.

Qin Beifeng had already become such that he practically had no means to make a move against him.

Even if there were any.

Cheng Guang himself still had the Devil Transformation Armor.

Even in his prime, Qin Beifeng was hardly a match for him.

Let alone now, Qin Beifeng was practically as good as crippled.

Cheng Guang was not the least bit flustered and slowly walked towards Qin Beifeng.

When Cheng Guang approached, Qin Beifeng seemed to sense something and slightly lifted his head to look at Cheng Guang.

Upon seeing Cheng Guang, Qin Beifeng was first stunned, then the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile.

"Princely Heir."

Qin Beifeng didn't spew any vicious words, merely addressing Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang watched Qin Beifeng calmly, waiting for him to continue speaking.

He knew Qin Beifeng had more to say.

Indeed, as Cheng Guang expected.

After pausing for a moment, Qin Beifeng spoke again.

"Princely Heir, I hope you'll be kind to Yanqiu in the future."

"She is married to you, and she knows nothing of my identity, nor was she involved in these affairs."

"It is I who owe her."

With those words from Qin Beifeng, a face that once exuded martial dignity was now filled with pleading.

No matter what, Qin Yanqiu was already wed to Cheng Guang.

She was the official Wife of Crown Prince.

Because of Qin Beifeng's incident, it was highly probable that Qin Yanqiu might be sent back, and in this era, being sent back by someone of Cheng Guang's noble stature was almost as good as having killed her.

Even if Qin Yanqiu herself did not care for such matters, in the eyes of outsiders, her image was ruined.

Even under favorable circumstances where Cheng Guang did not abandon Qin Yanqiu, it was highly likely her status as Wife of Crown Prince would be unstable.

To even be considered a Concubine would already be fortunate.

Qin Beifeng could foresee the difficulties Yanqiu would face in the future because of him.

But at the moment, he had no other ability but to beg Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang responded to Qin Beifeng's plea with a slight nod, then smiled and said, "I thought, Mr. Qin, you would ask me to save you."

At these words, the bitterness on Qin Beifeng's face deepened. He lowered his head and fell silent.

He had no face to ask Cheng Guang to save him.

After all, he had genuinely wanted to kill Cheng Guang with his own hands.

If it weren't for Cheng Guang's sudden transformation into the Iron Shell Turtle, Cheng Guang would have been killed by him by now.

Qin Beifeng shook his head, then seemed to recall something, looked up slightly at Cheng Guang, and said,

"Princely Heir, what brings you to see a dying man like me today?"

"Surely, you're not here to mock a dying man like me?"

Upon Qin Beifeng's questioning, Cheng Guang went straight to the point,

"Mr. Qin, that person from the Great Yan Dynasty, the one behind you, is he from the World Royal Family of Great Chu?"

No sooner had Cheng Guang spoken.

Qin Beifeng's lifeless expression changed instantly, his eyes widened, bloodshot.

He looked at Cheng Guang with disbelief.

He could not comprehend.

How Cheng Guang knew about that person from the Great Yan Dynasty!

And even more unfathomable.

How Cheng Guang knew…

That the person behind him was related to Great Chu!

Even if he himself was from Great Chu, the person behind him had never been exposed!!!

Qin Beifeng was confounded!

In his wide eyes, his pupils trembled slightly, filled with incredulity!
