Chapter 264 Alien Star
Chapter 264 Alien Star
Mobei Kingdom
"Master, what happened?" A middle-aged man wearing a crown respectfully asked a man in a white robe.
In the dim hall, the man in white robes closed his eyes and calculated quickly with his left hand. After a while, he opened his eyes with an unpleasant look and asked, "Are you sure that the alien planet in Daning is still under surveillance?"
A few years ago, he calculated that an alien star had descended from Daning, and that Daning had the potential to unify the world. He spent another ten years to find the alien star. The alien star was different from Daning, and it would bring a devastating disaster to them in Mobei, and it would also be very disadvantageous to him.
They had originally planned to eliminate the trouble directly, but the people they sent were too useless, causing the plan to fail. Fortunately, the alien was seriously injured, but it also aroused the vigilance of Emperor Daning, and they could not attack again. Although they did not attack again, the alien was still under their surveillance.
Yixing also has great luck, and ordinary people cannot deal with him. It is not convenient for him to take action now, so he can only wait for the opportunity and prevent Daning's rise at the same time.
Originally, the situation was still under control, but as the alien star became more and more powerful, the situation he calculated seemed to be becoming increasingly unfavorable to him. In this case, he had to take action and must not let the alien star become stronger.
"We have been watching over him. Although the alien has returned to Kyoto, he is weak and can't even get out of bed. He should not be able to do anything. Although our people can't get close to him, we are keeping an eye on him."
The King of Mobei naturally dared not be careless about the orders of the National Master, and he would ask about them every once in a while. Outsiders only thought that the King of Mobei and the National Master were checking and balancing each other, but they did not know that the National Master was worshipped by the Mobei royal family, and the National Master could not only tell good and bad luck, but also predict the destiny of the country and lead Mobei to a higher level.
The National Master usually stays away from worldly things and will only give reminders when there are major events. The kings of Mobei in all generations have always been respectful to the National Master. With the help of the National Master, Mobei will become stronger.
The state teacher retorted with an unpleasant expression: "Impossible. I have calculated that not only is Daning now prosperous, but the alien star is also shining. It is impossible that they are unable to get out of bed."
"This......." The King of Mobei was somewhat doubtful. The matter of the alien star was the responsibility of the King of Wei in Daning. Could it be that the King of Wei had changed his mind? But no other news came from others!
After all, the King of Wei is from Daning, and he knows that he can be used but not trusted.
"Don't worry, Imperial Master. I will go and find out what's going on right away." King Mobei asked hurriedly. Is there some hidden story?
"Well, Daning is already on the rise. Your Majesty must understand the principle of the rise and fall of one thing. If Daning prospers, it will not be good for us. We must find out about the alien star. Either we can use the alien star for our own benefit, or there will be no need for the alien star to exist." No matter how lucky the alien star is, as long as it is a hindrance to him, there is no need for it to exist and it can always be eliminated.
"I understand!" The King of Mobei said carefully. He didn't want to see Daning become strong even more than the national teacher. Unifying the world was a temptation that every monarch could not refuse. He was the same. Why couldn't the aliens be born in Mobei? Fortunately, they had the national teacher. Although Daning had aliens, if they couldn't protect them, wouldn't it be useless? It all depended on their national teacher.
Seeing that the Imperial Master had no other instructions, King Mobei left, ready to find out what was going on on the alien planet.
Today, the three kingdoms of Da Ning, Dong Jin and Mobei are in a three-way confrontation, and other small countries are dependent on them respectively. Although the three kingdoms appear to be harmonious on the surface, there are turbulent waves in secret, and all have ambitions to devour each other. In recent years, the borders have also been restless. It all depends on who loses patience first.
Among the Three Kingdoms, Daning is located in a plain and is relatively rich. It more highly respects the Four Books and Five Classics, but it also combines civil and military affairs, and its military generals are the most difficult to deal with; although Mobei is led by the King of Mobei, the people also believe in the national teacher, who also has a lot of say in Mobei, but the national teacher does not often appear in public and is rather mysterious. On the surface, the King of Mobei is still the main figure; the Eastern Jin Dynasty has the smallest territory and is the most remote, but everyone is brave and good at fighting, especially good at fighting in the woods. It is said that their monarchs in history have the ability to command all beasts, so the Eastern Jin Dynasty is good at hunting, but also likes to tame beasts. The entire Eastern Jin Dynasty emphasized military over culture, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
On the surface, the Three Kingdoms were calm, but there were constant frictions on the borders, and they were all waiting for the right opportunity.

"Mom, these sweet potato leaves taste good, but they look like vegetables. We grow so many of them, but we can't just rely on them to fill our stomachs!" The young girl looked at the green and tender sweet potato leaves in the bowl, feeling a little worried and disappointed.
I thought it was some kind of food, but it turned out to be just wild vegetables. It can't be eaten! After so much effort, growing so many wild vegetables, there is no use for eating them. It would be better for her to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, which would be enough for the family to eat.
"Silly girl, do you think we are eating sweet potato leaves? The ones below are the treasure. I heard from the adults that these sweet potato leaves are just by-products. Let's change the taste. The sweet potatoes are still growing underground."
The man couldn't hide his smile. When he first said that sweet potato leaves were edible, he was shocked. There were a lot of lush leaves, but the leaves alone were not enough to satisfy hunger! His family had cleared three acres of wasteland, and they had put in a lot of effort. If all they had were leaves, it would be in vain. What good would it be?
It was not until the village chief went to the county to inquire that he learned that the sweet potatoes were growing underneath. They would harvest the sweet potatoes, not the sweet potato leaves. Everyone was relieved. This was the first time they didn't know, but they couldn't make a mistake! If they harvested only the leaves, all their work would be in vain. In order to open up these few acres of land, he didn't go to the county to find work. Otherwise, the loss this year would be huge.
When he came back, he went to the field to dig up some and made sure that there were several sweet potatoes as thick as fingers underneath. Only then did he feel relieved. He heard that when the sweet potatoes grew up, they would be able to fill their stomachs.
"Don't pick every sweet potato seedling. The county officials said that you can pick a moderate amount of sweet potato leaves, but not too many. Picking less is good for the sweet potatoes, but picking too much will affect their growth."
As long as we don’t eat sweet potato leaves, it’s fine. The girl happily replied, “As long as we don’t just eat sweet potato leaves, it doesn’t matter if they are good or not. I won’t pick the sweet potato leaves for now. I can go dig wild vegetables. I just don’t know what sweet potatoes taste like? Are they delicious?”
"I don't know about this either, but as long as it fills my stomach, even if the taste is a little worse, it's okay! It's much better than going hungry."
"Hehe, that's true, but I still hope it tastes better. It would be even better if it's sweet." The young girl fantasized with anticipation.
"You dare to wish for anything good? Sugar is so rare! There are so many hungry people. It is a great thing to be able to fill their stomachs. How can this food be sweet?" The woman next to her laughed at her daughter's wild imagination.
"Mom, I'm just thinking about it. Besides, this is the seedling given to us by the current Emperor. Maybe it really could be sweet?" The young girl argued coquettishly. Even if it was impossible, she could still think about it! She felt much better!
The woman had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, if it's really sweet, I'll let you eat it to your heart's content."
"Mom, this is what you said, I will remember it!"
The small yard was suddenly filled with cheerful laughter and expectations for the future.
