My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Once a conflict arose, Cheng Guang would struggle to explain himself and to prove his identity.

At the moment, apart from Cheng Guang’s face bearing a striking resemblance to the former empress of Great Chu, there was nothing left on him that had any relation to the Great Chu royal family.

The blood of the Great Chu royal family had been completely drained from him and replaced with the ancient royal bloodline of Great Xia.

He essentially had no way to prove his own identity anymore.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Guang decided to stand up and leave, planning to formulate a strategy later.

At the same time, Cheng Guang was certain that if his observations and conjectures were not wrong, this seemingly dignified, beautiful-faced Commandery Princess of Prince Ning was indeed that remnant of "Great Chu."

Once he confirmed the identity of the Great Chu remnant within the Great Yan Dynasty, Cheng Guang felt a sense of relief, yet at the same time, he felt somewhat troubled when he looked at the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

Although he had already confirmed that the Commandery Princess before him was the "Great Chu remnant," he did not yet know the identity of the Commandery Princess.

What relationship did the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning have with him? How had she managed to evade the ferocious pursuit of the Northern Expedition Army’s Iron Cavalry, survive, and hide herself within the Great Yan Dynasty to become the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning?

All of this enveloped Cheng Guang in layers of immense enigma.

Cheng Guang was deeply perplexed but had no way to directly inquire with the Commandery Princess at the moment.

For now, his only option was to leave and plan his next moves later.

Cheng Guang stood up, bidding farewell to the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning.

As he was about to leave, Cheng Guang reminded her with a meaningful note.

"Your Highness, during this period, I believe that the Great Chu remnant might reveal their true colors, and the Great Yan Dynasty will be in chaos. It would be wise for Your Highness to be extra cautious."

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning was unclear about the purpose behind Cheng Guang’s words. Although puzzled, she verbally agreed nonetheless.

Seeing that the Commandery Princess did not take his words to heart, Cheng Guang did not mind and simply added, "I heard that tonight Your Highness will once again participate in the Four Great Trials. I wish you the best of luck in defeating Li Zhongxin and inheriting the Great Yan throne in advance."

The Commandery Princess of Prince Ning responded with a smile and proceeded to see Cheng Guang off.

Standing in front of the mansion, as she watched Cheng Guang leave, the Commandery Princess’s smile slowly faded from her splendid face.

She watched Cheng Guang, feeling the need to rub her brows.

She couldn’t help but murmur to herself with great speculation.

"This Town-Nation Duke’s Heir is very odd."

"He speaks in riddles, and when he looks at me, it’s as if he sees through my identity."

"Additionally, why do I feel an inexplicable sense of kinship with this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir? It’s just too strange."

Lost in her thoughts, the Commandery Princess found her mind growing increasingly cluttered.

The Town-Nation Duke’s Heir mentioned that the Great Chu remnant would likely reveal themselves, causing chaos in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Doesn’t that mean I’ll be exposed?

With my careful approach, how could I be so easily discovered?

What is the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir’s intention in telling me these things?

Unable to comprehend or see through Cheng Guang, the esteemed Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, the Commandery Princess shook her head.

She pushed aside the tangled thoughts in her mind and turned her attention to Qin Beifeng.

Watching Qin Beifeng following Cheng Guang, moving further away.

Her beautiful eyes revealed a touch of helplessness.

She was aware that Qin Beifeng had tried to contact her multiple times.

Qin Beifeng claimed that if she could meet with the noble Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, Cheng Guang, he could regain his freedom and return to her side as her protector.

But now, at the risk of exposing her identity just to meet with the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir to free Qin Beifeng so he could stay by her side, it simply wasn’t worth it for the Commandery Princess. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the moment, her identity was not in danger of being exposed, nor did she greatly need Qin Beifeng’s assistance. Stay tuned for updates on empire

For now, it was best to let Qin Beifeng stay with Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

Considering everything Qin Beifeng had done in North City, he should have been executed by now, but he was still alive, which suggested that Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, or his supporter, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, still saw some value in Qin Beifeng and would not deal with him in the short term.

At least Qin Beifeng was safe for the time being.

After the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning let out a light sigh,

She turned around to go back to her mansion.

At this moment, the most important thing for her was to overcome Li Zhongxin in the Four Great Trials and inherit the Great Yan throne. If she could succeed to the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty, she would have even more tactics at her disposal.

Perhaps it would be easier to save Qin Beifeng in the future.

......

Cheng Guang took Qin Beifeng back to the tea house.

Afterward, he did nothing further, waiting for the Four Great Trials to be held in the Great Temple of the Great Yan Imperial Palace that night to decide the next Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Such an event should have captivated the attention of the whole world.

Since not everyone was permitted to enter and witness the ritual in the Great Temple of the Imperial Palace,

The re-initiation of the Four Great Trials did not make much of a stir or create much commotion.

Perhaps only after the Four Great Trials concluded and the Great Yan royal family announced the selection of the next Emperor would it cause a significant ripple.

Cheng Guang stood at the top of the tea house, his robes fluttering as he gazed towards the location of the Great Yan Imperial Palace.

The Great Temple was deep inside the Imperial Palace.

As dusk fell, suddenly, sounds of bell ringing emanated from deep within the Imperial Palace.

Dong—

Dong—

Dong—

The bell tolls were like thunderous drums, and also like the dazzling sun, illuminating all directions.
