Chapter 5

Wei Xiaobao and the young Kangxi began a fierce argument in the room.

Lin Yi hid behind the screen, first controlling the tracking device to take a few close-ups of the argument outside, then pointing the camera at himself and said —

"Everyone has seen, right? The young man in the short outfit is the legendary Emperor Kangxi!"

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with Kangxi, right?"

"His real name is Aisin Gioro Xuanye, born around 1654 and died in 1722. He was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty established its capital in Beijing. His era name is 'Kangxi,' and he is known as Emperor Kangxi in later generations."

"The Mongols called him Enhe Amgulang Khan or Amgulang Khan, which means 'peace and tranquility' in Mongolian, a translation of the Chinese 'Kangxi.'"

"Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8 and took personal control of the government at 14. He reigned for 61 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history."

"Kangxi, as a young man, defeated the powerful minister Ao Bai. As an adult, he achieved victories in wars against the Three Feudatories, the Ming loyalists, and the Dzungar. He expelled Russian invaders and secured the Qing Dynasty's control over the Heilongjiang River basin through treaties. He held the 'Dulun Alliance' to replace war and win the favor of the Mongol tribes."

"Kangxi was a defender of the unified multi-ethnic state of China, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and ushering in the Kangxi-Qianlong Prosperity. He is revered by later scholars as 'the Emperor of a Thousand Ages,' with the temple name Shengzu and the posthumous name 'Emperor of Great Virtue and Accomplishment.' He is buried in the Jingling Mausoleum."

Lin Yi showed off his knowledge, speaking at length, thinking to himself that he must be one of the more cultured live streamers.

He continued to the camera — "Although Kangxi was a Manchu emperor, and many people have a lot of grievances and even curses against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we can't deny that this kid was quite talented."

As he spoke, he controlled the tracking device to take another close-up of the young Kangxi. At this point, Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao were already wrestling on the ground, continuing their argument.

The live stream viewers were already laughing their heads off, with the chat rolling —

"23333 Is this the young Emperor Kangxi, the 'Emperor of a Thousand Ages'? I'm not well-read, so don't trick me, streamer!"

"The streamer is also flying high! Not only did he find someone to play Wei Xiaobao, but also someone to play young Kangxi? Is he planning to shoot a time-travel drama?"

"Streamer, are you still recruiting actors? I'm tall and strong, I can play Ao Bai or something!"

"2333 The guy upstairs is really cool, but I can't play Ao Bai. I can play a minister or something!"

"Speaking of the actors playing Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi, they are so real! Look at that argument, it's flying high!"

"2333 Not only are they flying high, but the streamer is also flying high. You're already in character, streamer!"

...

Lin Yi looked at the chat, finding it amusing. These viewers clearly didn't believe it. If he were in their shoes, he wouldn't believe it either, with the real Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao outside.

After all, time travel is too bizarre. It's something only heard of, never seen.

He didn't bother to explain much. At this point, saying more would just be pointless. Who would believe him?

Lin Yi quietly continued the live stream, pointing the tracking device at the outside, continuing the close-ups.

Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi were about the same age and strength.

The young Kangxi was clearly trained and knew some martial arts, but Wei Xiaobao had fought countless battles in the streets of Yangzhou, with big bullies and small rascals, making them evenly matched.

After wrestling for a while, they finally got tired, holding each other and panting. Suddenly, they both burst into laughter, finding the wrestling very entertaining, and slowly let go of each other.

Wei Xiaobao laughed and asked, "Are you here to steal food too?"

The young Kangxi was taken aback, then laughed, "Oh, so you often come here to steal food."

Wei Xiaobao laughed, "Not often."

The young Kangxi laughed and asked, "What's your name?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "Xiaogui, what about you?"

The young Kangxi hesitated and said, "I'm... Xiaoxuanzi. Whose servant are you?"

Wei Xiaobao laughed, "I'm with Old Hai."

The young Kangxi nodded and laughed, "Let's not fight today. We'll do it again tomorrow. But you're no match for me, so it's useless."

Wei Xiaobao,不服气, took out a piece of silver, about three taels, and said, "Let's fight again tomorrow, but we'll bet money. You bring out three taels of silver too."

The young Kangxi was taken aback, then laughed, "Alright, let's make a bet. I'll bring the silver tomorrow, and we'll fight at noon here."

Wei Xiaobao said, "It's a date, no backing out. A man's word is his bond... once given, even horses can't catch it."

The young Kangxi laughed, "Right, a man's word is his bond, even horses can't catch it!"

With that, he left the room.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the young Kangxi's back, feeling a surge of heroism. He thought of Mao Shiba making a martial arts appointment, even breaking out of prison to keep the promise, despite being seriously injured, waiting for the two experts at the foot of Desheng Mountain. Such spirit was truly admirable.

He had heard many heroic stories from storytellers and often fantasized about being a great hero and a great hero. If he made a martial arts appointment, how could he not show up?

Thinking about it, Wei Xiaobao realized he needed to return to Old Hai's place tonight.

With this in mind, Wei Xiaobao looked behind the screen and said with a smile, "Big Brother, come out!"

"Okay." Lin Yi smiled and came out.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "It's late today. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Why don't you stay at my place for the night, so we can catch up."

He couldn't find the imperial kitchen, so he planned to take this "fallen from the sky" big brother back to stay for the night.

After fulfilling the appointment with Xiaoxuanzi tomorrow, he would escape from here. Even if his identity was exposed, it wouldn't matter.

"Is this... not good? What if Li Gonggong finds out and scolds me?" Lin Yi looked hesitant, but inside he was smiling. Even if Wei Xiaobao didn't say it, he planned to stick with this kid.

Otherwise, he was a stranger in a strange land with no place to sleep!

Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "It's fine. I'll go with you to talk to Li Gonggong tomorrow. My little brother is doing well in the palace with Old Hai, so I can get this favor."

Lin Yi hesitated and nodded, "This... okay?"

Wei Xiaobao laughed and led Lin Yi out of the room, retracing their steps. He vaguely remembered the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and finally returned to Old Hai's residence. For mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
