Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1155: Chapter 824: The All-Encompassing Web!

Just as Zhou Mu said, Gu Changsheng indeed felt something deeply!

People always maintain an attitude of reverence towards the unknown; it’s human nature. Gu Changsheng is human, and naturally, she is no exception!

The people of the world spread tales of the North of the desert, Divine Demise Land as if they are gods, with countless mysteries. Many even believe the North of the desert is already the farthest northern expanse of this world, with no lands beyond Liaodong. Countless people in the world think like this!

However, this is not the case!

Beyond the North of the desert lies the Far North Land, where the Divine Demise Land mentioned by Little Monk Bu Jie exists!

Gu Changsheng is not someone who is inherently suspicious, but she believes that all rumors must have a traceable origin. As long as rumors circulate, they are never created out of nothing; there must have been some people who truly journeyed to the Divine Demise Land and spread these tales, convincing so many people it is real!

The reason she diligently trained her Inner Strength today was not without the thought of preparing for unforeseen events!

”Therefore, we originally knew that part of the journey was unknown, and I, the king, never doubted it.” Zhou Mu said as he gently wiped the body of a little one playing with water in the bath tub with a brocade handkerchief, ”What makes me suspicious is encountering such a large number of Sky Wolves in Liaodong! If one Sky Wolf is transformed from a person, Changsheng, have you ever calculated how many Sky Wolves we actually defeated yesterday? With our cultivation, without exerting our full strength, could we not instantly kill those Sky Wolves? Have you ever considered how formidable these Sky Wolves are?”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng’s expression immediately became solemn.

That’s right, yesterday when the little one was in danger, her emotions surged, and with every move, she used all her strength. Even so, she battled intensely for quite some time. What if it had been someone else? Someone not as capable as her and Zhou Mu?

Looking around the world, there are many people like Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu; what then?

Wouldn’t they just be torn apart by the pack of wolves?

”Changsheng, although Dowager Empress Xiao is aged, she is indeed a remarkable woman, able to unify the country with her martial prowess and stabilize the nation with her wisdom. Liaodong, under her decades of governance, is as secure as ironclad walls, with few able to intervene. Still, with such capable people hidden within her territory, mobilized under her watch in such a large scale, Changsheng, have you ever thought about the Great Zhou, far less stable than Liaodong? Or your Southern Country? And Liaodong itself?” Zhou Mu continued, ”Since they can secretly infiltrate so many elites into Liaodong, it’s impossible that they would give up on the Great Zhou, the Southern Country, and Northern Mongolian! Can you ensure that none among the realms have their infiltrators?”

On hearing this, Gu Changsheng shook her head slowly and heavily; the answer was obvious.

No!

She cannot!

Even in her Southern Border and Bashu, she cannot guarantee whether there truly is no such existence that can transform from human to wolf!

”I have long wondered why, nearing our wedding, when we hold territories covering seven to eight tenths of the world, with us commanding millions of troops, with little opposition if we wage war, Northern Mongolian suddenly experiences internal turmoil. Even if they rely on our friendship with Junior Sister, assuming we won’t intervene in Northern Mongolian’s affairs, what about afterward?” Zhou Mu’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, ”If Junior Sister cannot save her Father King and quell the Northern Mongolian unrest, would we just sit by and watch Northern Mongolian’s power fall into others’ hands? We’ve reclaimed such vast territories; the only one left is Northern Mongolian, solely for the sake of our ties with Junior Sister. If Northern Mongolian is no longer Junior Sister’s Northern Mongolian, then what purpose does it serve? Wouldn’t it be absorbed into our fold sooner or later?”

Gu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

”So, such a simple fact is known to us, and those seizing power in Northern Mongolian know it as well. If their revolt fails, that’s fine, but if they succeed, they gain nothing in the end, just grabbing water with a bamboo basket. Why would they bother with seizing power and making a futile effort?” Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow at Gu Changsheng.

”No one rises early without three-tenths benefit; surely someone has promised them immense benefits, giving them the courage to face us!” Gu Changsheng said, pacing back and forth, ”It’s like, some time ago in my Southern Chen County, when someone took advantage of the nation’s beginning, when all was in chaos, was it not also incited by others? Yu Shu’s words are indeed true; this truly is a vast web, nearly impenetrable!”
