Chapter 972: In vain
More than just the tone.
But looking at his facial features, it was obvious that he had never met him before.
It’s an illusion…
Or did the other party hide his original appearance?
He was about to take a closer look when the burly man stood aside and invited the hunchbacked octogenarian to the front of the stage.
The man's burly figure was quite recognizable, so when Sun Shaozong saw him, he felt like he was an old friend.
“You, you are…”
As soon as the old man showed up, Sun Shaozong no longer cared about the burly man . He stared at him with his tiger eyes as if he were a copper bell and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
But before he could reveal the identity of the visitor, he hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach!
Having lived two lives, it may be an exaggeration to say that he remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse. However, to this day, there are definitely only a handful of people who could make Sun Shaozong so terrified upon seeing them.
The old man in front of him is undoubtedly the best among .
He is the failed bidder for the throne who had been in a love-hate relationship with the current emperor for more than 20 years.
He was the mastermind behind leaving behind countless loyal dogs, which indirectly led to the castration of the prince.
He is also a master of smelting, a political reformer, a leader of brothel fashion, a heavy player of WOW, a part-time great prophet, and a time traveler.
Prince Yoshitada!
He is still alive?!
But how did he escape the encirclement?
How could Emperor Guangde, who regarded his guards as a thorn in their flesh, allow him to wander outside without any reaction? !
And even if he really escaped, how could he dare to show up in Rongguo Mansion in broad daylight? !
He was horrified, but Prince Yi Zhong, who was standing opposite him, also cast his eyes on Sun Shao Zong. After a quick look, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you again. I didn't know your background at the beginning, otherwise I would definitely like to talk about our hometown friendship."
Background?
Hometown friendship?
Sun Shaozong's fear reached its peak in an instant!
Facing this old senior who has been leading the trend for decades, his biggest psychological advantage is that the other party is not aware of his identity as a time traveler.
In this way, one can naturally achieve the goal of being unintentional.
However, it seems that...
Prince Yoshitada clearly understood this!
Where did the flaw lie?
Ever since I discovered that there were time travelers in this world, I had been extremely cautious and didn't dare to overstep the line. Not to mention plagiarism, which was the favorite thing for time travelers to do, I didn't even dare to invent or create anything.
And in his daily behavior and conversation, he never did anything too out of the ordinary...
Sun Shaozong was puzzled for a moment, but this did not stop him from suddenly becoming murderous!
No matter what, he must not let anyone know that he has any connection with Prince Yizhong, and he must not let the other party reveal his identity as a time traveler - when he was ordered to visit Prince Yizhong, he almost did not hide it. Since he did not even hesitate to reveal his own identity, how could he expect him to keep secrets for others?
Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, once someone reports it to Emperor Guangde, Sun Shaozong and even the entire Sun family will suffer a devastating disaster!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong raised his sand bowl-sized fist without hesitation, and walked in front of Prince Yi Zhong in two steps. He aimed at the wrinkled neck and pinched it, sneering: "What a bold lunatic, you actually..."
"Alas~"
Before he could finish his words, Prince Yi Zhong sighed and shook his head, saying, "It seems that I am just wishful thinking. Anyway, you go wait outside. Wait for me to settle the cause and effect for others, and then we can make plans."
Given Sun Shaozong's decisiveness, since he had already decided to take action, how could he be allowed to speak calmly?
Even before Prince Yizhong finished sighing, a large hand like a steel clamp was already against his throat. With just a slight squeeze, he would not be able to utter a single word, and it would be easy to take his life.
However……
No matter how hard Sun Shaozong tried, his muscles bulged and his eyes were bloodshot, but that last bit of gap was as hard to erase as an insurmountable chasm!
What the hell is this?
You have to know that he has superhuman strength, enough to compete with a giant elephant. Not to mention that Prince Yi Zhong has nothing on his neck, even if he wears a thick iron sleeve for protection, he can still crush him into a ball or flatten him!
But now...
Could it be that the legend of Prince Yizhong ascending to heaven in broad daylight was not just a false rumor? !
Could it be that in this peaceful world where he had ruled for so many years, there really were immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters? !
His mind was in a mess and his worldview was overturned. The hand that was on Prince Yizhong's throat retracted uncontrollably, and then his two legs seemed to belong to someone else, and he walked towards the door without hesitation.
this……
This old demon can actually still control his own actions? !
Sun Shaozong was even more frightened. He tried desperately to struggle and even to roar. However, he could only use his face to lift the cotton curtain like a puppet and stand outside the door like a clay or wooden sculpture.
After trying for a long while, he couldn't even turn his eyes away.
It was reckless, really reckless!
But who could have imagined that a god would suddenly appear in this world where, apart from his own strange powers, there was no trace of supernatural power?
It just so happens that this immortal is just like me, a predecessor whose soul traveled through time and space to this world!
etc……
Does this mean that I also have the opportunity to gain similar power? !
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, for a man like him who had everything including power, wealth, women, and children, the only way for him to get what he dreamed of but could never get was through such extraordinary means.
I don’t know…
Can you achieve immortality?
However, this excitement came and went quickly. After all, he was still in the biggest crisis of his life. Now he couldn't even move his eyes. If Prince Yizhong intended to pursue the "offense" just now, he would not have the slightest room to resist.
Tsk~
My back is facing the door. If he stabs me to death with one blow, wouldn't that be just like the old saying goes?
…
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the crisis, he heard footsteps behind him. It turned out to be Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others coming out one after another.
Judging from the way they were whispering to each other, they didn't seem to be under the control of Prince Yizhong - based on this, it can be inferred that this old man is most likely a "god" in the lawful camp.
If I had known...
"One is a fairy flower in the paradise, the other is a flawless jade."
Suddenly, an old and desolate song was heard from the room.
Thinking back to when he was ordered to visit, Prince Yizhong seemed to have sung a song. The lyrics sounded strange at the time, but now thinking about it, it turned out to be a sign that he was about to become an immortal.
So what is he singing now?
Sun Shaozong listened carefully and heard Prince Yi Zhong singing:
"If there is no fate, I will meet him again in this life;
If there is a magical fate, how come the wish ends up in vain? "
He had not noticed it just now, but now when he listened carefully, it sounded very familiar. It seemed to be a poem related to Dream of the Red Chamber, which was widely circulated. Even he, who had never read The Story of the Stone, had heard it more than once.
This song seems to be about a love story.
Could it be that this old intellectual came here to pay tribute to his past life's "karma"?
wrong!
He seemed to have said just now that he wanted to help someone to resolve the cause and effect.
Are you entrusted by someone or are you sent by someone?
The former is fine, but the latter means that there are other, more powerful gods in this world.
But no matter what, he was obviously not coming . If I hadn't acted rashly, maybe I could have really reunited with him.
If I had known...
But when the lives of the entire family are in danger, who can still care so much?
"One is sighing in vain, the other is worrying in vain.
One is the moon in the water, the other is the flower in the mirror."
As my mind was shaken, the vicissitudes of life song seemed to be far away and ethereal, lingering quietly in the declining Rongguo Mansion, and was completely covered by the white snow.
