Chapter 356 The truth from An Bing’s mouth! Solution density increases!
"The marriage was created to relax King Xin''s vigilance..."
Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in An Bing''s words.
From a rational perspective, this is completely understandable.
As the aborigines of the Far North, the [Ice and Snow People] were not as powerful as the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] at the time, but they were definitely a force that should not be underestimated.
Coupled with their natural rejection and hostility towards [Great Yan Kingdom].
It is conceivable that the existence of this family itself is a big hidden danger.
If Yan Yan is a cruel and cruel tyrant, then the best way to solve the problem is undoubtedly only one word -
kill!
Just like a certain country in Xia En''s previous life, as long as all the local indigenous people are killed, there will no longer be such hidden dangers.
However, although Yan Yan before amnesia was far more decisive and resolute than he was after amnesia, he was by no means a cruel person.
You can''t do things like killing whole families and destroying nine tribes at every turn.
Therefore, marriage is undoubtedly the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.
It can not only ease the relationship between the two parties and avoid unnecessary internal friction, but also use the power of the [Ice and Snow People] in the construction of the [Great Yan Kingdom].
And the [Ice and Snow People] don’t have to worry about being exterminated by King Xin, and they can still have a territory of their own.
From every angle, this is a win-win.
The only "victim" in this incident is probably the woman who married King Xin, the current Princess Dayan - An Bing!
This marriage can be said to be a pure exchange of interests, with no feelings at all.
However, in the face of the rise and fall of a family, personal emotions may be the most insignificant factor, right?
Thinking of this, Xia En looked at An Bing with a little more sympathy.
It is probably for this reason that King Xin''s attitude towards An Bing seems so weird.
If King Xin doesn''t pay attention to An Bing, he won''t send his capable men to wake her up.
But if you really value An Bing, why doesn''t King Xin personally come to wake her up from the [Eternal Coffin]?
-This gave Xia En the feeling that... King Xin didn''t want to face An Bing in person.
Or is he hiding from An Bing?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En had new doubts.
What does this marriage have to do with the origin of [The Moment of Time]?
Noticing the gazes of Xia En and Joey, An Bing smiled: "Please don''t look at me with that look."
"In fact, after becoming Princess Dayan, my life is not sad, and I don''t need to be pitied."
"Xin...is a king and a responsible man. He has always been very good to me."
"He would take me for a walk in the ice and snow, take me to see the city under construction, and see those busy and energetic people."
"I saw many sights that I had never seen before, and ate all kinds of novel foods brought by those people... This was the first experience in my life for me."
When talking about these past events, An Bing''s tone was unconsciously brisk.
Obviously, this is also a beautiful memory worth remembering for her.
"Such a peaceful and beautiful life lasted for several years, and [Great Yan Country] became more and more prosperous in the process."
"Honestly, I had a real crush on him."
"I also thought about how great it would be if time could stay in those years..."
Then, An Bing changed the topic and said.
"It''s just... suddenly one day, when Xin came back from the outside world, his face was solemn as never before."
"I asked him what happened, but he just shook his head and said nothing."
"And from that day on, the salary changed."
"He started to become a little irritable, a little lost his temper, and became busier and busier, as if something was chasing him behind him."
"At the same time, Xin began to prepare various plans, such as shelters, such as the hoarding and collection of certain supplies..."
Upon hearing this, Shane and Joey''s expressions suddenly changed.
Obviously, during this period, King Xin learned about the arrival of the "World-Destroying Flood" and made various preparations.
Doesn''t this oppressive feeling of disaster feel like someone is chasing him behind him?
An Bing nodded: "Yes, I only found out later."
"He is using all possible means to fight against the disaster that is sweeping the world."
"At that time, because he was getting busier and busier, I had less and less time to meet with him, and we gradually became a little unfamiliar."
"Although I have some resentment in my heart, I can probably guess that he is doing something extremely important, and I don''t have too much resentment about it."
"It''s just occasionally...it still feels a little lonely."
Xia En looked a little strange.
Judging from An Bing''s words, although her relationship with King Xin had some twists and turns, it didn''t seem to have reached the point of a real breakup or turning against each other.
It''s just a small friction in the couple''s life.
Even An Bing can be considered a reasonable type among women.
So, what happened that caused their relationship to change, so that An Bing showed such a resentful look when he heard Wang Xin''s name after waking up?
No need for Xia En to ask, An Bing quickly told the whole story.
"The cause of the incident was this pocket watch called [Momentary Time]."
"Captain Shane, you should already know that this pocket watch has the ability to temporarily stop time and space, right?"
Shane nodded: "That''s right."
Since An Bing can call out the name of [Momentary Time] and it is a relic of her mother, she must know its function.
There was no need for Shane to hide this.
However, from these words, Xia En also heard another message -
An Bing doesn''t seem to know that [Instant Time] can achieve such a thing as traveling through time and space?
"Although there are considerable side effects, and the stagnation time is extremely short."
"But the ability of [Snap Time] can also be called miraculous, and it can play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the battle at critical moments."
An Bing said with a hint of pride: "This relic is exactly the creation of our family."
"The power of [freezing] is engraved layer by layer on the pocket watch in a special way."
"This has achieved the effect of freezing time and space."
"Similarly, this is also the certificate of each patriarch of our family. It is equivalent to the ''crown'' and ''scepter'', symbolizing legitimacy and authority."
"After each clan leader obtains [Momentary Time], he needs to input his own understanding of the [Freezing] Law into it, so that its effect will continue to increase."
"...You may not believe it when I tell you, but that''s how I introduced [Snap Time] to Xin at that time."
An Bing paused and said slightly sadly.
"I wish I hadn''t mentioned it to him then."
Joey asked softly: "What happened at that time?"
An Bing slowly told: "As time goes by, Xin''s impatience not only does not disappear, but becomes stronger."
"In front of other subordinates and people, Xin can often hide his emotions very well and behave calmly."
"It is precisely because of this performance that although the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] were very confused about what he wanted to do, they still obeyed his orders and followed him as usual." "Originally Some of the opposition voices that arose were drowned out by public opinion.”
An Bing showed a smile that was half self-deprecating and half sad.
"However...as Xin''s pillow partner, I can still occasionally see Xin''s true side, so I can see his increasingly irritable mood."
Xia En listened to these words in silence.
He seemed to be able to empathize with the pressure King Xin was under.
Knowing ahead of time such a disaster that could destroy the world would probably make anyone feel a heavy sense of oppression.
Moreover, the situation of salary kings is different from that of ordinary people.
Those who are incompetent, when they know the end of the world is coming, may simply give up resistance and choose to take advantage of the last moments to indulge and enjoy themselves.
But King Xin chose the most difficult path—
Confront such a disaster head-on!
Do your best to save this world!
Not only did he want to save more people from the disaster and leave the spark of civilization for future generations, he even wanted to prevent the flood from happening at the source.
And this is essentially a confrontation with the weird and mysterious [Huisi Ming].
Face the gods face to face with a human body!
The last person to do this was Augustine, known as the "King of Pirates"!
Of course, Xia En will not forget Augustine''s dejected look during the promotion ceremony.
After failing to challenge [Evil Command], Augustine suffered an extremely heavy blow and almost collapsed.
The pressure that King Xin is under may be greater than Augustine.
After all, Augustine only faced the loss of his fleet and the disintegration of the [Pirate Principality].
But King Xin is responsible for the survival of the entire world!
In order to prevent his subordinates and citizens from panicking, King Xin could not tell others such a secret, so he could only bury it in his heart and bear it alone.
Over time, even with King Xin''s willpower, he might not be able to bear it.
An Bing''s words proved Xia En''s guess.
"One day, the pressure he accumulated seemed to reach its extreme, and he muttered to himself-"
"[There is not enough time. If we continue like this, we will not be able to catch up. It would be great if there is a spell that can freeze time and space...]"
"It was because of what I heard that I told him about the existence of [Flash of Time]."
"After learning about this, Xin immediately asked me to take him to the family to see the effect of [Flash of Time]."
"He was so eager that he even set out that night."
"My mother was extremely surprised when she saw us in the middle of the night. She thought something big had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was [a moment of time]."
An Bing''s eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said softly: "I still remember that scene clearly, because..."
"That was the last time I saw my mother."
"What?"
Joey let out a low exclamation: "What happened?"
An Bing did not answer this question directly, but continued.
"Although the time [Snap Time] can be still is very limited, Xin still cares about it very much, and even made a request to ask his mother for it."
"It''s just that [Moment of Time], as the certificate of the patriarch of our clan, is also of extremely important significance."
"So, mother rejected Xin''s request."
"And on the third day after that incident, my mother was found dead at home, and all the [moment of time] on her body was gone."
Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help narrowing his eyes and said seriously.
"You mean, you suspect...Wang Xin killed your mother?"
"This is absolutely impossible, he is definitely not such a person."
However, An Bing''s words surprised Xia En: "In fact, I thought so at the beginning."
"I also feel that the salary I know would never do such a thing."
"It''s just...what happened later made my mind gradually change."
An Bing''s pretty face showed bitterness: "Not long after my mother''s funeral ended, I saw with my own eyes..."
"A [Black Flame Walker] handed [Instant Time] to Xin."
"I mentioned this directly to Xian and asked for the pocket watch back, but he refused."
"He said that [Flash of Time] is extremely critical to his plan and cannot be returned to our clan for the time being."
"Until then, I still trust him and have agreed to return [the moment of time] to me after the matter is over."
An Bing gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out words from between his teeth.
"But I was wrong, and very wrong."
"After that day, Xian''s behavior became increasingly mysterious and aggressive."
"Sometimes he disappears for several days. Not only me, but even [Black Flame Walker] doesn''t know where he is."
"At the same time, there were several disappearances in my family."
"Some tribesmen who went out lost contact inexplicably and disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately realized something acutely, and his expression suddenly changed again: "Wait, you mean..."
An Bing nodded: "Yes, it''s just like you thought."
"Originally, this incident was supposed to be investigated by the criminal investigation department of [Great Yan Kingdom], but because it is related to the existence of [People of Ice and Snow], I was entrusted with the investigation."
"While investigating the missing clan members, I found some traces of the [Black Flame Walker]."
"At first, I just thought it was [Black Flame Walker]''s intervention in this matter."
"But soon, I discovered..."
"Those [Black Flame Walkers] are the real culprits that caused the disappearance of our clan members!"
"I witnessed with my own eyes that a group of [Black Flame Walkers] captured my people and took them to an underground research center."
"And the tribesmen who entered it never appeared again!"
Upon hearing these words, Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] suddenly reacted.
