Chapter 185 Bizarre Country Names
He got arrested again.
after a little while.
Oh no, it escaped again.
Soon after.
He's been arrested again.
The old emperor was unsure whether to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
I hope that the son of the Ministry of War official doesn't run away.
The Ministry of War official said: His son absolutely must run away!
[Hey, something seems off about this last one. The person who got arrested doesn't look like the son of the Ministry of War official.]
Shen Zhiyi carefully analyzed the final chase and escape sequence and made her judgment.
[Ah, system, you're so thoughtful! You even marked that person's identity—an imperial censor.]
Everyone was puzzled; how could an imperial censor have gotten involved?
What about the son of the Ministry of War official?
[There must be something I missed. Go back, go back... Why is it that the person arrested has been changed?]
After rewinding the surveillance footage, Shen Zhiyi finally understood why the person was different.
During his final escape attempt, the son of the Ministry of War official was pulled into a room by a man who turned out to be the Censor.
The censor grabbed the wrist of the son of the Ministry of War official and said, "Do you want to be remembered for eternity? Do you want to be etched in history? Now is a golden opportunity. If we succeed, we will both leave a significant mark on history."
【Young man, don't worry, I've already sent word to the capital. His Majesty will surely send troops to rescue us.】
Shen Zhiyi recited the words in the tone of the censor, and finally understood why the old emperor had kept these people behind; they must be planning something big.
The old emperor and the six ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Actually, it doesn't take that long for a message to come from Lingnan.
Ahem, Shen Zhiyi is really easy to fool when she's just watching the drama unfold.
[Haha, the son of the Ministry of War official immediately refused the censor, saying: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I'm rescued, how can I be remembered for eternity? You want to die, but I don't want to."]
The system watched Shen Zhiyi playing two roles.
I seriously suspect that his system has been driven crazy by all this gossip, and it's started talking to itself.
Is it possible to cure this condition?
I hope he won't wake up mentally ill.
[You have the nerve to say I talk to myself all the time? It's because you were silent at first, leaving me to entertain myself alone. So, system? You've fixed the bug?]
The system has given up on dealing with the bug.
The repairs aren't finished, but for now we can barely maintain the status quo. We'll see what happens later.
That's great! Come with me and see what happens to this censor in the end.
Shen Zhiyi watched it like she was following a TV series.
[This censor clearly wants to emulate the Han envoy. The old emperor suffered a setback with those small southern countries before. Although he retaliated later, retaliating now is different from retaliating when he was king. Therefore, this censor's fate is to court death.]
Shen Zhiyi nodded in agreement.
[System, why are those small southern countries capturing people from Da Ye?]
Well, see for yourself, it's a bit hard to explain.
The system said it was a long story, which piqued Shen Zhiyi's curiosity. She looked with great interest at the reasons why those small countries in the south kept capturing people from Daye.
[The main group making arrests is from the South. Wow, the naming of countries in this world is really interesting.]
At this point, the system became excited.
[I've looked this up. The name "Southern Insane" was bestowed by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, meaning it's a place where crazy people gather, and it should be destroyed.]
The old emperor felt very uncomfortable upon hearing these strangely spoken words.
Now that he's beaten that place down, he's going to change their country's name to something even worse.
After discussing the name, Shen Zhiyi continued to investigate why Nan Dian had been frantically scamming people in southern Da Ye recently.
Wow, this is so bizarre!
[A princess from Nandian, who only loved men from Daye and considered the men of her own country unworthy to lick her feet, frequently sent people to Daye to lure handsome men to her.]
Everyone was speechless.
I never expected it to be such a bizarre reason.
The system noticed that Shen Zhiyi had only read half of it and gave her a reminder.
[This isn't over yet; this is only one aspect.]
Shen Zhiyi continued digging, following the system's prompts.
[Holy crap, those people who were captured were ultimately sacrificed to their gods like animals? Seriously? This is insane! These are just giant cockroaches, who treats cockroaches as gods?]
Shen Zhiyi was full of questions, feeling that this person was not understanding or respectful and was sick.
I think the name given by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty was incredibly apt; it truly reflects a nation insane.
"Your Majesty."
The Dragon Scale Guards, lurking in the shadows, appeared like ghosts wearing black masks, carrying a folded document in their hands.
The old emperor had a guess in his mind, so he quickly took it out to take a look.
It was indeed sent over by the censor who had been arrested.
The Southern Kingdom has been doing this secretly for a year now.
After scanning all the words on the memorial, the old emperor closed it and said decisively, "Immediately send the troops stationed in the south to the border of the Southern Kingdom."
The Minister of Rites hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, we have no evidence for these matters. If we rashly send troops, we will be acting without a legitimate reason."
"How can he be nameless? The censor of our Great Ye has been arrested. What? Are you really waiting for him to die? Beat him! Beat him until his ass is bruised and battered. He even kidnapped people to my territory."
The old emperor was clearly furious; he used the pronoun "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor") only once in a long sentence.
[The old emperor was majestic and domineering!]
Shen Zhiyi silently gave the old emperor a thumbs up in her heart.
The Minister of Revenue did not obstruct it this time.
The national treasury was short of money, and he disliked war because it cost a lot of silver.
But today's situation is different. Outsiders are taking advantage of our Ye territory. How can we vent our anger if we don't beat them up and make them scream?
"Your Majesty, don't worry about the money, there's no problem!"
The Minister of Works also stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Works has recently developed something new. We can take it with us to try it out."
The attack on Nandian went exceptionally smoothly, without any obstacles, much to the old emperor's delight.
These past few days, Shen Zhiyi has also been closely monitoring that censor.
Because she made a bet with the system about whether the other party would die.
The system bets that the opponent will die.
Shen Zhiyi bet that the other party wouldn't die.
The system felt it had a very high chance of winning.
[Host, look, this censor is completely unyielding, and the princess of Nan Dian is already furious. This guy is definitely going to die today.]
Shen Zhiyi shook her head.
[Impossible, impossible. You're an artificial intelligence that doesn't even understand humans, let alone a woman.]
She pointed to Princess Nan Dian in the surveillance footage and said with certainty.
[This princess must have taken a fancy to this censor. Seriously, this censor is way more handsome than the son of the Ministry of War official. No wonder the kidnapper gave up on the Ministry of War official's son; I would have done the same. Clearly, the more handsome one is worth more.]
