Chapter 1032 Emperor Zhou Zhirang of the Zhou Family
Chapter 1032 Emperor Zhou Zhirang of the Zhou Family
Chen Qingxuan did not immediately tell him to get up, but instead pointed to Chu Chen and introduced him.
"This is Chu Chen, whom I often mention to you, the one who saved your Zhou Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhirang thought to himself, "This is incredible! The person in the portrait has actually appeared right in front of me!"
He immediately kowtowed and said, "Zhou Zhirang pays respects to Ancestor Chu Chen!"
"Alright, get up, everyone. Forget these formalities. Also, don't call me 'Ancestor,' just call me 'Young Master.'"
"I'm not as perverted as that drunkard."
Chen Qingxuan gave Chu Chen a smug look and then plopped down in the chair in front of him.
"What are you all standing there for? Get up!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingxuan's words, Zhou Zhirang and his eunuchs immediately stood up and served tea, water, and snacks to the two of them.
They served her with utmost care.
Even Chu Chen found it somewhat amusing; what a pathetic emperor he was.
"Alright, stop bothering him, just let him do it. Sit down and let's talk."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Zhirang sat down opposite Chu Chen with a humble and respectful expression.
"Please give your instructions, Ancestor!"
"Your name is Zhou Zhirang? You're Zhou Heng's grandson?"
"Reporting to the Ancestor, I am the great-grandson of the Ancestor Emperor."
Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that a hundred years had passed, and four generations was plausible; perhaps he was the grandson of Zhou Heng's youngest son.
It should be noted that for an emperor, having a child late in life is not unusual.
"Alright, I don't care about any of that. Tell me about the Great Xia Dynasty now."
After listening, Zhou Zhirang immediately reported to Chu Chen respectfully.
After listening to Zhou Zhirang's report, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
A century of development has brought the population of the entire Xia Dynasty close to its previous peak.
Moreover, under his influence, this Great Xia Dynasty is no longer the Great Xia Dynasty it once was.
Many more talents have emerged in the fields of science and technology, literature, and military affairs.
Therefore, the development of society as a whole is much healthier than before, but it still retains the traditions of the feudal era.
Chu Chen didn't pay too much attention to these things.
“Indeed, your Zhou family has managed this Great Xia Dynasty very well. I am very pleased.”
"Thank you for the praise, Ancestor. I know I am unworthy of it, all thanks to your excellent guidance."
Chu Chen didn't continue the conversation with him. Instead, he took out a purple crystal from his pocket and handed it over, saying...
"I've come here to give you a task: to collect all the amethyst within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty as quickly as possible. I have a great use for it."
Zhou Zhirang respectfully accepted the amethyst with both hands and immediately recognized it.
This stuff was usually sent to Chen Qingxuan every year.
Later, Chen Qingxuan stopped needing it and stopped collecting it. Now, he probably has a lot of reserves again.
“Ancestor, don’t worry. When Ancestor Chen came back then, he also had my Zhou family collect them. We have experience with this. You can stay in this palace and give me a year. I guarantee that I will collect all the amethyst in the entire Great Xia for you.”
Chu Chen nodded after listening, but still looked at Chen Qingxuan with a puzzled expression.
"What are you looking at me for? Without your spring, I can only use this thing to improve my strength."
"So back then, I asked his grandfather to collect some. But I discovered a problem: this thing seems to keep growing, and there should be a lot of it now."
Chu Chen smiled but remained silent.
Now that the entire Chu Tian Realm has been infused with the power of heaven and earth, the amount of amethyst is definitely increasing.
All those jade stones that were previously ordinary, after obtaining the power of heaven and earth by chance, were able to slowly transform into amethyst.
After collecting it this time, he went back and used the power of heaven and earth again.
So, a hundred years from now, before the alien invasion, they can probably plunder again.
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll go with the drunkard to his place. Once we're done, just come find me in Qingyun City!"
After saying that, Chu Chen led Chen Qingxuan and the other person out of the palace and headed straight for the East Market.
"Let's go, get a car ready, and we'll slowly head back to Qingyun?"
As soon as Chen Qingxuan came out, he spoke to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then found a secluded spot and produced an off-road vehicle.
"You want to drive?"
Chu Chen got into the passenger seat and gave instructions to Chen Qingxuan.
He understood what Chen Qingxuan meant; he wanted him to take another good look at the rebuilt Great Xia Dynasty.
Indeed, this land holds too many memories for him.
The car slowly departed from the imperial city, passed through the tall city gate, and headed straight for Qingyun City.
Chu Chen looked out the window at everything that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Suddenly, I felt an urge to bring the people of Mashan Village and Chu Yi and the others back.
After all, this is their home.
However, this idea only flashed through his mind briefly before he dismissed it.
At present, Tianyu really can't do without them.
Immediately afterwards, the two drove to Andu City, the hometown of Chunxiang and Qiuju.
"Would you like to go down and take a look?"
"No, after all these years, Shi Qingshan is long gone."
"Hehe, there are still some descendants, and I'm taking care of them all."
"Then there's even less reason to go!"
Chen Qingxuan nodded after hearing this: "That's fine then. Just give me a thousand catties of wine when you get back!"
Chu Chen rolled his eyes at him, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and ignored him.
Pedestrians hurried along the road, and those who saw the fast-moving metal shell couldn't help but stop and stare.
Yes, several generations have passed, and the memories of Chu Chen and those high-tech products have faded from the public's mind.
Those who know about him are only descendants of people who were on good terms with Chu Chen, and they can still find traces of Chu Chen in their family's ancient books.
"You drunkard, when I brought you here back then, why didn't I think of getting you a car?"
"You have the nerve to say that!"
Chen Qingxuan took a deep drag on his cigarette and then flicked the butt away.
"However, it's good that some things keep appearing, because they make people keep thinking about the past."
After he finished speaking, Chu Chen saw a hint of nostalgia in Chen Qingxuan's eyes!
Yes, a hundred years has passed. Although the body has not died, the mindset has changed drastically.
You know, they inevitably get lonely when they live a long time.
Just like Chen Qingxuan, he lives alone in this world.
It's unrealistic to say that he doesn't miss the old days.
After all, the years of fighting alongside Chu Chen were deeply ingrained in their hearts.
"Alright, stop acting like a woman, or you'll end up digging in the ditch again!"
Seeing that his expression was off, Chu Chen immediately laughed and scolded him.
Chen Qingxuan smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "Hehe, I'm very carefree, even more comfortable and at ease than an emperor."
"However, tomorrow, I'll take you to see my master. He's quite lonely too."
