Chapter 69: The Space’s Time Flow
With the Left Prime Minister’s residence as an example, the citizens began to steal and rob the residences of other noble families and ministers. The situation got worse when they knew General Yao Zhen would lead one hundred thousand soldiers to the north border. Seeing the Emperor standing on the imperial capital city’s north wall to send off the troops, the hearts of the common people were filled with anger and hatred, but no one dared lift their heads to look at the Emperor.
After the army left, the common people knelt down and sent off the emperor, as Emperor Ming returned to the imperial palace in his dragon carriage. When the common people saw the wheels of the dragon carriage passing by them, hatred quickly grew in their hearts. Today is the day when the common people’s anger against Emperor Ming is lit up, and it will become the cause of the disaster in the distant future.
Unlike the turmoil in the Shang Empire, Xu Xiang is now resting in her own space after busy arranging her space. She sat on a folding chair under the gazebo, watching the plants in the fields. She rested her chin on her hand, thinking seriously.
’If I remember correctly, it was only a few days since I planted the seeds. Why are almost all the crops in the field about to be harvested?’
She stood up, walked to the edge of the cornfield, and looked carefully at one of the ears of corn. She peeled off a little of the husk, then poked one kernel with her fingernail. She was taken aback when she saw the creamy liquid come out from the kernel.
’Wait a moment. Isn’t this corn ready for harvest already?’
Unable to believe what she saw, she went to another corn stalk and did the same. When the creamy liquid came out from the kernel that she pinch, she was finally convinced that the corn was indeed ready to be harvested. Xu Xiang looked at the cornfield and counted the days.
’Usually, with these premium quality seeds, the corn can be harvested at least seventy days to ninety days later. But I only planted the seeds for three days. Perhaps, the time flow in this space is different from the outside world? There is also no sun and moon as a basis for knowing the time here.’
As soon as she thought of this, this idea took root in her mind. Still unable to believe her theory, Xu Xiang went to the orchard. She went to see the apple orchard while thinking. When she saw that the apple orchard, which should have been barren, was already full of small buds, her eyes lit up.
