Chapter 215 List of Time Travelers
Qilin said: "Master, I have seen Su Ruiyang. After analyzing his facial features, he is more than 70% similar to General Su."
"And Su Ruiyang and the Qi family disappeared on the same day."
"I asked General Su how his son ended up at the Beilin border. General Su revealed that he was an envoy of the imperial court and went to Beilin to discuss some issues between the two countries."
"His son has been ill since he was young, so he is very attached to him. He is always with him wherever he goes."
"When General Su and his son passed by the scene, his son had a high fever and could not continue on his journey. He had no choice but to stay at the home of a local villager and ask the villager to take care of him."
"General Su left his son's playmates and two guards to take care of his son, and then he went to the capital of Beilin."
"But General Su reported yesterday that his son and his playmates disappeared together. The two guards escaped because they went into the city to get medicine for his son."
"The most convincing proof that Su Ruiyang is General Su's son is that his original name was Su Ruiyang."
Jiayu lowered his head and said solemnly:
"It seems that both Su Ruiyang and Si Tingyi lost their childhood memories due to a high fever."
"It's just that one had a high fever before the crossing, and the other had it after the crossing."
Having said that, Jiayu started writing it down on paper.
"There are ninety time travelers in total, seventy-eight from the Qi family, plus Si Tingyi, Tang Xiujue, and Su Ruiyang. Eighty-one have been found, leaving nine."
She looked up and asked Qilin:
"Qilin, you said before that you have clues about the remaining people. Tell me now."
Qilin said: "I went to ask the general who escorted the Northern Lin prince Tang Xiujue to Dajin."
"Back then, not a single soldier from the army that escorted Tang Xiujue was swept into the desert by the tornado."
"On the contrary, Tang Xiu Jue, who was sitting in the carriage that year, and the two guards that Tang Xiu Jue brought from Beilin, have disappeared."
"The two guards were a man and a woman. I went back to Beilin last night to inquire, but with the death of the former Beilin Emperor, I couldn't find out which two guards accompanied Tang Xiujue to Dajin that year."
"What is clear is that the two guards who escorted Tang Xiujue back then were under the orders of the former Beilin Emperor. Only the former Beilin Emperor knew who those two guards were."
Jiayu said calmly:
"It happened 20 years ago. Things have changed a lot. Who can remember much about it?"
"But fortunately, we know that two of Tang Xiujue's guards are missing. If things go as expected, they should have disappeared with Tang Xiujue that year."
"I'll ask Tian Lin to ask Tang Xiu Jue later. If he has no impression of the two guards, then we can only conduct a global search."
"Those two guards should have been adults back then. If they still have their memories, they will contact Tian Lin when they see the information about the global search for someone."
After writing down the names of the two unknown guards on paper, Jiayu asked again:
"There are eighty-three of them now. The information of the remaining seven is still unknown. Qilin, how are you finding clues about the others?"
Qilin said: "That year, a local villager also disappeared, only one, a girl of seven or eight years old."
"And this girl is the daughter of the villager's family where Su Ruiyang stayed when he was sick."
"The girl's parents reported that after Su Ruiyang's high fever subsided, their daughter often took Su Ruiyang and his close playmates to play near the village."
"After the tornado appeared that year, three children of similar age disappeared collectively."
Jiayu asked: "What's that girl's name?"
Qilin: "My surname is Xi, and my given name is Xiao."
Jiayu murmured:
"Xi Xiao?"
Suddenly remembering something, she counted the number of people on the paper and found that she had missed one.
"Oh, yes. Su Ruiyang's childhood playmate is also missing. I almost forgot to note him down."
"By the way, what was the name of Su Ruiyang's childhood playmate?"
Qilin replied:
"General Su said that his son's playmate was his deputy general's son, and they had played together since childhood."
"He's a boy, about the same age as Su Ruiyang, his last name is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Yueqi."
Jiayu analyzed:
"They are all children of similar age. If they had not had a high fever, Xi Xiao and Zhang Yueqi should remember their childhood. In this case, it would not be so difficult to find them."
After that, Jiayu wrote down the names of Su Ruiyang's playmate Zhang Yueqi and Xi Xiao on the paper.
After that, we started to count the number of people again:
"Seventy-eight people from the Qi family, Si Tingyi, Tang Xiujue, Tang Xiujue's two guards, Su Ruiyang, Zhang Yueqi, Xi Xiao... a total of eighty people, and we still need five."
Qilin said: "Among the remaining five people, one is the wife of General Teng Jingyun."
General of the Cavalry?
Jiayu asked, "Is it the General Annan who used to guard Qizhou, and was later named the General of the Cavalry and transferred to guard Gaosi City?"
She had heard about this matter when Qi Tianlin announced the unification of Central Plains in the court and when she heard Gao Weifu announce the imperial edict.
That day, the jade pendant happened to light up, allowing her to hear Gao Wei-fu reading out several imperial edicts, one of which was about the title of queen.
Qilin replied: "Yes, he is the cavalry general who was transferred to guard Gaos three months ago."
Jiayu: "What's his wife's name?"
Qilin: "Teng Ying."
"Where did you get this clue?"
Jiayu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that General Teng was also one of the envoys and went to Beilin with General Su?
Qilin replied:
"I asked the post station in the city on the northern border this morning and got the clue."
"There was a road near the place where the incident happened. It was an official road and the only way to Dajin. Caravans traveling between Dajin and Beilin had to take this road."
"The post station has detailed records of who passed by that road on the day the time machine broke down."
"Because it is a border city, everyone passing through must register their personal information."
"I saw a caravan from the list that passed by the place where the incident happened."
"This caravan came from Daqi and went to Dajin for business. The hostess of the caravan is called Teng Ying."
"I followed the clues and found out Teng Ying's origins. Then I learned that Teng Ying was the wife of General Teng Jingyun."
"Teng Ying's family is in business. Teng Jingyun is an orphan who was adopted by the Teng family since he was a child. He is Teng Ying's sworn brother who is not related by blood."
"They were childhood sweethearts, they had a deep connection with each other, and they got married."
"General Teng was ambitious at the time, so he was encouraged by his wife's family to join the army. Due to his outstanding performance, he soon became a major general."
"And Teng Ying continued to expand his family's business."
"It just so happened that her caravan passed by the scene of the incident on the day when the time machine broke down."
"I went to ask General Teng, and he confirmed that his wife disappeared at the northern border that year. He suspected that she was swept away by a tornado and lost her life."
"But the rest of the caravan is fine."
"There is one thing that General Teng still cannot let go of. The people from the caravan came back and told him that his wife was already several months pregnant."
Jiayu: “…”
Nothing could make her feel more devastated than this news.
Surprisingly, among all the time travelers, there was one who brought an unborn life to the modern era.
"If Teng Ying traveled through time and gave birth to a child in modern times, does that mean that we need to find ninety-one people to complete the mission?"
Qilin said: "Master, logically speaking, unborn lives do not need to be included in the list."
Jiayu nodded in agreement:
"That makes sense. Including General Teng's wife Teng Ying, we have verified the information of eighty-six people, leaving four more."
Qilin then revealed the clue:
"Among the remaining four people, one was a martial arts master back then."
"I found a sword in the desert where the incident happened. After much inquiry, I confirmed that it was the sword of a chivalrous martial arts master back then."
Jiayu couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled playfully:
"There is actually a martial arts master here. This is interesting."
"Nowadays, searching for time travelers is like searching for treasure."
Qilin: "That sword is unique. It belongs to Mu Zili, the best master in Beilin."
"For a master, a sword is very important. He will never leave his sword. The sword is always with him. If the sword is with him but he is not, it means something has happened to him."
"So I suspect that Mu Zili passed by the scene and unfortunately encountered a tornado, and was also swept into the present."
"This martial arts master, known as Mu Zili, is the best in Beilin. He is highly respected by his peers. He is a rare martial arts master who loves to fight for justice. Whether it is martial arts or character, he is an outstanding person."
"It's just that no one knows the true identity and appearance of this Mu Zili."
"At present, apart from knowing that his name is Mu Zili and he is the best fighter in Beilin, there is no other information about him."
Jiayu said: "It doesn't matter, these clues are enough to find someone."
Then, Muzi Li was written down on the list.
After taking note, she said:
"There are only three left."
"The remaining three..."
Qilin was about to continue speaking when the jade pendant lit up in front of Jiayu.
The sound of Qi Tianlin talking on the phone with someone else came over:
"Secretary Chen, I'm so sorry, my wife has been very busy lately, and it's hard for me to even talk to her."
"How about this, if the R&D base encounters any difficulties, you can tell me and I will tell my wife later."
When Jiayu heard this, he thought that the military's equipment upgrade must have encountered a bottleneck.
However, her R&D team could not handle this bottleneck, so she had to do it herself.
Jiayu looked at Qilin and ordered:
"We'll talk about the remaining three later. Go and explain to Ming Yan and the others. They saw you these past two days and they must want to know the news about the emperor going out to look for the late emperor."
After all, after Qi Tianlin traveled to the modern era, she lied to others and said that Qi Tianlin had gone out to look for the late emperor.
And let Qilin accompany him.
Now that Qilin is by her side, but his master is nowhere to be seen, Mingyan and Anmo must have some ideas.
Qilin nodded: "Yes, Master."
After replying, Qilin disappeared in the study room in a flash.
Leaving a window creaking.
Jiayu smiled helplessly and looked away.
At this time, on the other side of the jade pendant, Qi Tianlin had just hung up the phone with Chen Zhengxin and heard Jiayu's voice.
He picked up his phone and sent the video.
Jiayu answered immediately.
As soon as the video was connected, Jiayu smiled and greeted the handsome man on the screen:
"Hi, Mr. Qi!"
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Qi Tianlin asked lovingly:
"What are you busy with? Have you eaten?"
Jiayu: "I haven't eaten yet. I was just handing over my work to the new mayor of Dajin."
"Tian Lin, now let me tell you how I handle this situation, okay?"
"I'm afraid I may have done something wrong, so I have to report it to you."
Afterwards, Jiayu and Qi Tianlin proposed the idea of having Daqi as the central government and the other three places managed as special areas.
The inspiration comes from the management model of their country Z.
After listening to this, Qi Tianlin not only had no objection, but also felt very relieved.
"Yu'er, I feel relieved to leave the country to you. You did nothing wrong."
"Just feel free to take charge according to your ideas. I believe in our Yu'er's ability."
That's fine.
Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and said:
"Just like my brother entrusted Hou Hui to you, I feel relieved too."
"By the way, Tianlin, did Secretary Chen call you just now?"
Qi Tianlin replied:
"Yes, he said that the R&D base is facing many problems now. If they can't find you to solve them, they won't be able to continue working."
"Over the past month, your best friend and other members of your team have called me, all looking for you."
"Just now I was thinking that my mother is also in your line of work. If I really can't contact you, I'll ask her to go to the base to help."
Jiayu said: "If they have any problems, let them list them, and then you tell me, and I will give you a solution, and they will understand when they see it."
"Mother...I guess she's busy researching the time machine and doesn't have time."
Qi Tianlin was surprised:
"You know that the Queen Mother is busy researching the time machine?"
Jiayu smiled and replied:
"I guessed. Since my mother and I are in the same business, I must know her."
"As long as we don't develop the time machine, my mother will definitely not be able to focus on other things."
"Just like when I first made the robot, I didn't want to rest until I succeeded."
Qi Tianlin felt deeply ashamed, "As your relative, I can't help you with the difficulties you encounter."
Jiayu's answer reminded Qi Tianlin of what his father had said before:
"Oh, everyone has their own expertise. It's normal that you can't help me if you don't understand. Don't blame yourself."
"Besides, aren't you the one who handles a lot of things I don't understand for me?"
Seeing the man looking at her and smiling, Jiayu was stunned:
"I said that... right?"
Qi Tianlin said lovingly:
"That's right, it's exactly the same as what my father said to me before."
Jiayu smiled happily, "That's good."
Thinking of her brother, she asked:
"Where's Jingyu? What has he been busy with recently? He has a lot of friends, so he probably goes out a lot and is rarely at home, right?"
Speaking of his brother-in-law, Qi Tianlin had to report his brother-in-law's situation to his wife:
"Yu'er, Jingyu must be sick."
Jiayu immediately thought:
"What's wrong with him? If he's sick, go to the hospital to see a doctor. There's no time to delay."
Qi Tianlin said solemnly:
"Jingyu has been experiencing severe hair loss recently. I discovered it and he said he inherited his grandfather's baldness gene."
"But I think it's wrong. Even if I inherited the baldness gene, it will take time to go bald. It's impossible to lose so much hair in such a short period of time."
The first word that came to Jiayu's mind was "illness" and he almost couldn't breathe.
"Tian Lin, don't listen to his nonsense. On the day his grandfather passed away, his hair was thick and he wasn't bald at all."
"He must be hiding his illness. Hurry, take him to the hospital, even if you have to tie him up."
"The hair loss is so severe... I hope it's not what I think."
Finding that his wife seemed to know what illness his brother-in-law had, Qi Tianlin asked:
"Yu'er, you know what disease Jingyu has, right?"
Jiayu was nervous at the moment, looking at the man on the screen with red eyes:
"I don't know if it's what I think it is. I have to go to the hospital for a check-up to be sure."
Feeling his wife's fear of losing, Qi Tianlin comforted her:
"Yu'er, don't be nervous. I'll take Jingyu to the hospital to see a doctor right away. He will be fine."
After saying that, Qi Tianlin took the jade pendant and put his cell phone together, quickly left the room, and went to the next room to find his brother-in-law.
He walked to the door and knocked:
"Jingyu? Jingyu, are you back after afternoon tea?"
Hearing no movement, he opened the door directly.
He was shocked to find that Jia Jingyu was lying on the ground motionless, with his eyes closed and a pale face.
