The butterfly effect is really powerful. I have never been to the land of Wu and Yue, but it can actually change the fate of two famous historical figures. Zheng Dan, who had already perished on the battlefield, was unexpectedly rescued by Chu Zhisheng.
It was indeed outrageous that the famous Chang Sangzi would get together with Zheng Dan, but what surprised Li Xiao even more was that it turned out that Fan Li did not rescue Xi Shi at all, but ran away by himself.
In fact, what made Li Xiao even more aggrieved was that Xi Shi, who had made outstanding contributions to Yue, was actually pushed out and sacrificed by the Yue King in order to appease the people of Wu who had just annexed Wu.
Amid the curses of thousands of people, she was put into a pig cage, put on stones, and sank to the bottom of the river. If Maidina hadn't happened to see this scene, Xi Shi would have died of regret and despair.
But if we consider the overall situation, it seems that sacrificing one person can bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people. This seems to be the right choice...
"The king is indeed not something ordinary people can do. I definitely can't do this kind of thing." After listening to Maidina's narration, Li Xiao said with emotion.
"If Master is willing to be king, it will be a blessing to the people of the world." Chu Zhisheng flattered him, and of course he said it sincerely.
In his mind, Li Xiao's image was that of an extremely tall one. He was gifted with fine seeds from the upper world, passed down essential skills to the people, spread meridian medicine, eliminated monsters in the Lingnan Mountains, and conquered monsters all the way westward...
"Yes, yes, Master, why don't you build a country and become king here?"
"With just a few people, what kind of country can we build? It's a country of daughters."
"The Daughter's Kingdom, that's great. Many nearby city-states are often attacked by bandits or wild beasts, and many women have lost their support. If Master builds a Daughter's Kingdom, many women will definitely come to join us."
"I don't have that skill. I can already feel the pull from the void right now. I may have to go back within a few months."
"What's so good about heaven? It's better to stay in the mortal world and build a country and become a king."
"It's not something I can decide on my own."
"...Master is actually unable to control himself?"
"To the world, I am nothing, I am just an ant." Li Xiao also said a bit self-deprecatingly, but the scene fell into silence.
"By the way, you must support me after I leave, and try your best not to interfere in the war between mortals."
"Yes!" They both responded at the same time.
"Actually, when I rescued Xi Shi, if I hadn't remembered the words of my master, I would have definitely taught the King of Yue a lesson instead of disguising herself and escaping secretly." Maidina added.
"With your little ability, can you teach the King of Yue a lesson?"
"Master, don't underestimate your disciple's ability. For a mortal, I am already very powerful now."
"So you have come all the way to the west and you don't know how to restrain yourself. You still use ambergris. Are you afraid that others will not know that you have a noble status?"
"No, I never used ambergris... I remembered that Miss Yiguang had a piece of fragrant jade that repels mosquitoes and insects. It was given to her by the King of Wu. I tried to persuade her several times, but she didn't want to part with it.
Throw it away, it must have been along this journey, and I have also caught some of the fragrance."
"...It seems that she still has feelings for King Wu."
"That's natural. Even when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the King of Wu never blamed Xi Shi. He only blamed his own incompetence. Such a man is a real man."
"Well, the dinner outside is ready, let's go dine together." He stood up and left the tent, and the two apprentices quickly followed.
Sure enough, as soon as they left the tent, Alando, dressed in a costume, came up to him, apparently looking for someone to go and have a meal with him.
Although this little girl is young, she has the air of a hostess. Gu Li and the others seem to have acquiesced in Alan Duo's identity. As for the several guests, the same is certainly true. At that time, Immortal Li brought her down from the sky. This is already very clear.
Problem.
The banquet also included fruits and vegetables, secret bean cakes, fragrant wine, and of course the fragrant roasted whole lamb...
Until then, Li Xiao had finally seen the true faces of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. After taking off their disguises, these two were indeed first-class beauties. Although they were nearly thirty years old, they were still as calm as young girls.
No wonder Chu Zhisheng fell.
However, although these two are very beautiful, they are not more beautiful than the girl Alan Duo. It can only be said that they are different...
…
After everyone saluted, they took their seats one after another. There were not only people at the banquet, but also a huge giant panda. Of course Lord Bi Mawen Qiuqiu also had a seat.
I even enjoyed a roasted whole lamb by myself, plus a few secretly made steamed buns, and of course a whole jar of roasted knife wine.
The banquet was very lively and everyone was very happy, but there was a little hiccup. After Alando took the initiative to dance and sing, Maidina also ended up dancing.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Li and others also performed songs and dances one after another. Perhaps due to stimulation, Xiaowu and Xiaodie also wanted to perform. In the end, even Li Xiao, who was a little drunk, was encouraged by several girls.
, and sang loudly again.
Everyone at the banquet was in a good mood, except Xi Shi who was a little depressed.
The man who loved her deeply was ruined and his family was ruined, and then he was abandoned by the man she loved deeply. Finally, he ended up being cursed by thousands of people and dragged to the sinking river. This blow is very big for anyone.
Well, only time can gradually smooth away all the pain.
"Miss Xi Shi, you have done nothing wrong. There is no need to blame yourself. Let the past pass. As the saying goes: Life is like a mist or a dream, and you can be at ease with the existence and destruction of fate."
"Thank you, Immortal!" Xi Shi bowed respectfully and thanked her.
"You're welcome, everyone, keep eating and drinking. I still have some experiments to do, so I'm going to work first." After saying that, he got up and left the tent, and everyone quickly got up to see him off.
Although everyone wanted to help Master, as soon as they heard about the test, no one was sure about it and did not dare to come forward, so they could only send Master off respectfully.
However, Qiuqiu ended the banquet early and followed Li Xiao to the laboratory. It was not that he wanted to go into the laboratory to help, but to stay outside the laboratory and stand guard to prevent any blind monsters from disturbing the owner.
——
Back in the laboratory, the pika did not take the opportunity to escape. It can only be said that blood orchid extract seems to have a strong attraction to any animal, and this pika is no exception.
After tasting a little bit of the regeneration potion mainly made of blood orchid extract during the healing process, I immediately accepted my master with all my heart.
Of course, the reason he recognized his master so quickly was because Li Xiao had rescued it from the goshawk earlier and felt that it was much safer to hang out with a strong man than to survive alone.
Moreover, the spirit beast who calls himself Qiuqiu seems to be doing quite well with his master. I think that as long as he cooperates with his master well, his master will not treat him badly.
In fact, Li Xiao has brought a miniature array sensing device made of mithril to the input. Even if the little rabbit really escapes, there is still a way to track it, and he can also directly find the little rabbit's lair.
However, this little rabbit seems to be following me wholeheartedly, which is indeed a bit surprising.
Originally, if you wanted to detect the condition of the pika and rabbit, you would need to collect some blood and cell tissue for testing and analysis. But now that the pika has fully recognized its master, it saves a lot of trouble.
Because of this little guy's full cooperation, he can choose to go into silence and use his increasingly powerful spiritual perception to directly detect the situation inside the rat and rabbit's body.
"Little rabbit, my true energy will enter your body later to explore the situation. Don't resist." He touched the head of the rabbit and explained. The rabbit also nodded in understanding.
Seeing that Rat and Rabbit agreed, he took out the spiritual jade stone drum and sat down. In an instant, he entered a high level of silence. Rat and Rabbit also lay quietly on the palm of his hand, allowing a trace of Li Xiao's true feelings to enter its body.
Running around everywhere.
Although the body has some instincts to resist the invasion of external forces, in order to obtain the mysterious magic medicine reward, it still successfully controls the natural reaction.
And because of the full cooperation of Pika and Rabbit, Li Xiao's spiritual consciousness also adhered to the ray of true energy, and quickly searched for traces of the fine gold compound in Pika and Rabbit's body.
With the help of the conduction of the true energy, it was like looking inside my own body, blood, heart, muscles, bones and even brain nerve fibers, etc., and carefully checked them, but found nothing.
But just when he was about to give up and quit, traces of fine gold compounds were found in his lungs.
Although the content was so small that I almost ignored it, I finally sensed a trace of the energy field fluctuation unique to the fine gold compound.
It is not clear why the fine gold compound is enriched in the lungs, but since this substance has been detected, it can be determined that the fine gold substance may exist in the environment where this pika lives.
Either the minerals licked, the food eaten, or the air breathed, maybe some clues can be found in this little guy's cave...
After finishing the quiet period, the pika was given a few milliliters of regeneration potion under the extremely expectant eyes. However, after Qiuqiu, who had been waiting outside the tent for more than half an hour, smelled the smell of the regeneration potion, he entered the laboratory as soon as possible.
He didn't directly beg for it, he just looked at Li Xiao eagerly, as if not giving him one was showing partiality, showing that he was sorry for the new and disliked the old, so he could only take out a regeneration potion and handed it to him.
"Qiuqiu, this thing has little effect on you anymore. Don't always think about the regeneration potion in the future."
