Chapter 768 Su Wuming 67
Su Wuming was still immersed in the shock of the Tang Dynasty's "death" and nodded subconsciously. He vaguely felt that what Chu Hua was going to say next might be even more shocking than the Tang Dynasty's "death".
"Well... let's make a deal, don't get scared!" Chu Huan cleared her throat in a mysterious manner.
"Speaking of the Tang Dynasty, although it seems to be prosperous and peaceful now, in a few decades, a shocking event will occur, called the 'Anshi Rebellion'..."
Su Wuming's heart tightened when he heard the word "chaos". Although he was not familiar with politics, he knew what "chaos" meant - war and people's misery.
He nervously grabbed Chu Huan's hand and asked anxiously, "Huan'er, what exactly is this 'Anshi Rebellion'? Is it an invasion by foreign enemies?"
Chu Huan shook her head and explained, "It's not an external enemy, it's an internal conflict. To put it simply, An Lushan and Shi Siming, the governors of the Tang Dynasty, started a rebellion..."
Su Wuming was stunned. In his opinion, the governors of the vassal states were all appointed officials by the imperial court. How could they rebel? This was simply unimaginable!
"Then what? Then what?" Su Wuming's curiosity was completely aroused, and he completely forgot about the previous shock that Datang was going to "die", and asked.
Chu Huan lowered her voice mysteriously, "And then, guess what? The current emperor's son, Li Longji, will..." She deliberately dragged out the tone, making Su Wuming's heart rise to his throat: "After he ascends the throne, he will give his aunt, Princess Taiping, to..."
She made a motion of wiping her neck.
Su Wuming took a deep breath and almost jumped up from the stone bench. This is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!
He subconsciously covered Chu Hua's mouth and looked around nervously, afraid that someone would hear him.
"Shh! Huan'er, be careful with your words! Don't say such things casually!" Su Wuming lowered his voice with a hint of fear in his tone.
Chu Hua was covered by his mouth, and could only make a "wuwu" sound. She pried Su Wuming's hand apart and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Su Su, why are you covering my mouth! What I said is true!"
Su Wuming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one around, but he still looked at Chu Huan with a serious face and said, "Huan'er, I know you are not an ordinary woman, but this matter is of great importance. You must not speak nonsense. If it gets to the ears of others, you will be in danger of death!"
"That's not the point!" Chu Hua poked Su Wuming's forehead with a look of disappointment.
"Princess Taiping, that's just a small matter! The point is, this old guy Li Longji, in his later years..."
Chu Hua paused here deliberately, and whispered mysteriously into Su Wuming's ear: "He was obsessed with beauty and favored treacherous ministers, which made the Tang Dynasty a mess, and that's why the An-Shi Rebellion happened! So, he should bear a large part of the responsibility for the demise of the Tang Dynasty!"
Su Wuming was dizzy from the bombardment of this series of information. In his entire life, this was the first time he heard someone dare to comment on the current emperor, or the future emperor, in this way!
"My dear aunt, keep your voice down! If this gets out, we'll both be dead!" Su Wuming lowered his voice, with a hint of fear in his tone. Although he felt that Chu Hua had some truth in what she said, he didn't dare to agree with such outrageous words.
Chu Hua pulled Su Wuming's hand away and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Su Su, why are you so timid! I'm not wrong! That's what it says in the history books!"
Su Wuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl was really not going to stop until she said something shocking. He shook his head helplessly and whispered, "Huan'er, even if there is a record in history books, such a secret must never be made public! What if there are ears on the other side of the wall..."
"Okay, okay, I'm doing this for your own good. After all, it affects your future stance. After all, I'm a fan of the princess, and I don't want her to have such a tragic ending."
Chu Hua's expression of "I did this all for you" made Su Wuming laugh and cry. He reached out and rubbed Chu Hua's hair, his tone helpless and doting.
"My dear, I know you are doing this for my own good, but you must never say such things again in the future, understand?"
Chu Huan nodded obediently, her bright eyes rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Chu Huan's petite body slammed into Su Wuming's arms. The force was not strong, but it carried a hint of cuteness.
She nuzzled into his arms like a kitten, her voice as soft as honey: "Susu, I know I'm wrong. I won't say that again, okay?"
"Huan'er, you..."
Chu Hua raised her head and blinked at him with her big watery eyes. She stretched out her slender fingers, gently tugged at Su Wuming's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Su Su, don't be angry. I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again."
Su Wuming's heart seemed to be hit by something gently, and it softened completely. He sighed, reached out and gently patted Chu Hua's back, his tone helpless and doting: "Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it, but you need to be more careful in what you say in the future, and don't mention such sensitive things again."
When Chu Hua saw that Su Wuming was no longer angry, she immediately burst into laughter, raised her head from his arms, and stuck out her tongue playfully: "I knew Su Su was the best!"
Su Wuming's hand still stayed on the top of Chu Hua's head, feeling the silky touch under his hand, and his heart was soft. Chu Hua's coquetry made him a little overwhelmed, this feeling was very novel and sweet. He couldn't help thinking, it would be great if it could go on like this forever.
But Chu Huan's heart was in turmoil at this moment. Besides the sweetness, she felt more of an inexplicable panic.
She suddenly remembered that the system only asked her to capture Su Wuming, and now she was already with Su Wuming, was it...
She thought of her fate of being forcibly sent back to the modern world at any time, like a time bomb that could explode at any time. She secretly glanced at Su Wuming, and he had a gentle smile in his eyes and eyebrows, looking at her intently, as if she was the only one in the world.
"Su Wuming..." Chu Hua's voice was a little low.
"What's wrong?" Su Wuming noticed her mood change and asked with concern.
"If, I mean if..." Chu Hua bit her lip, hesitating whether to say it out loud.
"what if?"
Chu Hua took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision: "If one day, I suddenly disappeared, what would you do?"
Su Wuming was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Hua to ask such a question. Disappear? Where was she going? He suddenly felt uneasy, as if something important was about to be lost.
"Huan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Why did you disappear?" Su Wuming's tone was a little nervous.
Chu Hua's voice was very light, as light as a feather falling on the water, creating an almost imperceptible ripple. "I don't know when I will... disappear. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next moment, I don't know where I will go..."
Su Wuming's hands froze in mid-air, and his gentle expression was replaced by disbelief. He grabbed Chu Hua's shoulders with a bit of force, and there was a barely perceptible tremor in his tone: "Huan'er, what are you talking about? What do you mean by disappearing? Where are you going? Tell me!"
"You forgot, I told you that I came from a thousand years ago, and I don't know when I will go back..."
Su Wuming was stunned, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head. Go back?
He stared at Chu Hua closely, trying to find any trace of joking on her face, but all he saw was seriousness and a hint of barely perceptible fear.
"Huan'er, you...you must not lie to me..." Su Wuming's voice was dry, with a slight tremor that he himself did not even notice.
Chu Hua shook her head, her eyes slightly red: "I didn't lie to you, I really came from a thousand years ago. I don't know why I came here, and I don't know when I will go back..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Chu Hua sniffed, trying hard not to let them fall.
It is true that she loves Su Wuming, but she cannot give up her parents and relatives in modern times.
She knew that these words were like a bolt from the blue to Su Wuming. The world a thousand years later was too far away and too unimaginable for him.
Su Wuming was stunned for a long time before he found his voice.
"So... you will leave me sooner or later?" he asked, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.
Chu Hua's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She wanted to tell him that she would not leave, she wanted to stay by his side, watch the snow in Chang'an with him, appreciate the flowers in Luoyang with him, and experience the ups and downs of life together.
But she couldn't. She didn't know when she would be forced to leave, nor did she know if she would be able to come back after she went back.
"Su Su..." Chu Huan choked, unable to control the tears any longer. She threw herself into Su Wuming's arms, hugging him tightly, as if she wanted to rub him into her body.
"I can't bear to leave you, I really can't bear to leave you..."
Su Wuming's stiff body gradually relaxed, and he hugged Chu Hua back, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling her body temperature, her breath, and her trembling. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to engrave this moment forever in his heart.
"Huan'er, don't cry." His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible sob.
"Wherever you go, I'll find you."
Chu Huan cried even harder in his arms. She knew that this was just consolation, a beautiful wish, but an unrealized promise. After thousands of years, how could she find him?
She came from a world that he could never understand, and even if he could find her, what would it matter?
Su Wuming gently patted Chu Huan's back and said softly as if coaxing a child: "Huan'er, don't think too much. We still have time, don't we? Even if...even if there really comes such a day, I will try my best to find you in the world where you are."
