Chapter 557 Wu Guotai? Sun Shangxiang!
The reason why Sun Ce is so happy is because the "Sacred Golden Pill" given to him before Xia Tian is indeed very effective for Sun Jian!
After swallowing a golden elixir, my fate was at my mercy. Sun Jian's condition, which was already in critical condition due to the aggravation of poisoning, actually stabilized.
Although he has not fully awakened, there is no risk of "death" for the time being!
If someone could really find the miracle doctor Dong Feng, there would be hope for a cure.
Therefore, I am naturally very grateful to Xia Tian and his group.
In fact, the effect of "Saint Golden Pill" was also expected by Xia Tian.
Because this "golden elixir of revenge" can not only enhance a person's cultivation and replenish the consumption of one's personal background, but also allow people to inherit the power of the "centipede saint" to a certain extent!
You know, the reason why Sun Jian was unable to recover after being poisoned was largely because his own cultivation level was not very high.
Although he is a majestic "Jiangdong Tiger", he can only rely on the blessing of the "Qi Luck Dynasty" to transcend the ranks and fight against the saint.
Originally not a true "saint", he was naturally helpless in the face of the poisonous power left after the attack of the Li dragon!
However, Saint Centipede is also one of the "Five Poisons" after all, and its own "Golden Pill" is naturally capable of detoxifying, although even Saint Centipede itself cannot completely resolve the poison of the Lilong.
But at least Sun Jian's life can be saved!
It was precisely this that made the two Sun brothers happy, and that led to the scene of drinking at the banquet!
"I, Soochow, have the help of all the guests, as well as the reinforcements of General Xia and General Lu Bu of the Qianxia Dynasty, which makes people really happy. This glass of wine comes from me to honor all of you..."
Compared to Sun Ce who was "drinking" with Li Bai, Sun Quan's green eyes were more focused on Lu Bu, and there was no shortage of compliments in his mouth!
There is no doubt that Lu Bu's strength displayed in this battle is enough to make any "monarch" excited.
Although Sun Quan is not the master of the Soochow Dynasty now, he is still very eager for a "top military commander" like Lu Bu. Especially now, Lu Bu still retains strong combat effectiveness, but he does not have the same "wolf in the mountain" as before. His character makes him the perfect "guard candidate"!
"It's a pity that such a powerful person cannot be used by me..."
Sun Quan sighed in his heart.
He then set his sights on several saintly "guests". After all, Lu Bu was just an outsider. What he should really fight for now were these guests from the holy realm!
Especially the guest who has not come here yet, but is sitting in the "secret passage".
"Your Excellency is the brother of the king of the Qianxia Dynasty? I heard from the eldest son that this General Lu fought one against three, repelled two people, and beheaded a saint... Such a feat really makes me more ambitious as a human race!"
"This glass of wine is my tribute to the Xia Dynasty, so please be sure to show your respect!"
Among the several saints and guests, one was wearing brocade and jade robes, with sharp eyes, and some saints who were glaring at him suddenly stood up and said.
Although he said it politely.
But it was obvious that this saint was not too friendly towards the people of the Qianxia Dynasty!
Just because, in this crucial battle, Zhou Yu would rather choose to trust a group of people from other countries.
He was unwilling to reveal his true fighting intentions to them, and even left them in the palace. This was undoubtedly a slight to them, and some of them were actually somewhat dissatisfied.
However, this dissatisfaction cannot be directed against important ministers of the Soochow Dynasty such as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Tai Shici, but can only be directed at outsiders.
Now, this seems to be a "toast". In fact, it is better to say that it is a "provocation" to the Qianxia Dynasty!
"Sorry, I don't drink much on weekdays, this is already too much..."
After Xia Tian heard the words, he said lightly and did not pick up the cup on the table.
Because he usually doesn't drink much, drinking the first drink is already a favor to Sun Quan. As for these "sage guests", what kind of people are qualified to let him drink?
"This... you..."
The expression on the face of the eagle-eyed saint in brocade suddenly turned pale.
After all, it was the Saint who was toasting in person, but Xia Tian actually refused to pay attention. This was undoubtedly a bit of a face-to-face refutation!
"General Xia thinks that I, a great saint, am not qualified to drink with you..."
The eagle-eyed man in brocade clothes spoke, his expression darkening.
"Lu Shengqing is worrying too much! General Xia came from the Qianxia Dynasty to support us. He was very tired all the way. I think he is too drunk... Why don't we have a drink..."
Seeing that something was wrong, the good old man Lu Su hurriedly spoke to calm the atmosphere.
"Yes, the Qianxia Dynasty has a great spirit, but may be a little informal in etiquette..."
Sun Quan, who was sitting on the main seat, also spoke up.
Just because before, among the several guests, this eagle-eyed man in fine clothes had "reached" cooperation with him, and he was also a true member of his family. Now that he had been refuted by Xia Tian, he couldn't say a word!
But when Xia Tian heard such a speech, he frowned.
Because what Sun Quan said about "being informal in etiquette" seemed to him to mean something..."
"Ahem... It seems that I came at the wrong time... but I disturbed the guests to drink."
However, at this time a voice suddenly sounded.
Then, a woman was seen walking over with the support of a girl.
The woman was about forty years old, but her hair looked like a galaxy. Although it was gray, it shone with a faint luster. There were a few faint fine lines left at the corners of her eyes, making her appearance look a little older.
However, these fine lines and silver hair not only did not detract from her charm, but instead added a bit of wisdom and tranquility accumulated over the years.
"Mom, why are you here!"
Seeing this person, both Sun Quan and Sun Ce couldn't help but stood up and greeted him respectfully to the throne!
"Well, mother, is this person Wu Guotai?"
Xia Tian's heart moved.
Wu Guotai was Sun Jian's concubine in the novel and held a very important position in Soochow.
However, Xia Tian doesn't feel like it.
Because, for mere concubines, at least people like Sun Quan and Sun Ce who are equivalent to "princes", there is a high probability that they do not need to be so respectful. Therefore, this person is more likely to be Mrs. Wu Tai, Sun Jian’s main palace, Empress Wu Lie!
As for the girl next to him, she has a slim figure and a slim waist. She is wearing a red dress and her hair is like the most dazzling obsidian. It is gently tied up by a delicate silver hair chain, blowing gently in the wind. Dance, a shining forehead ornament, inlaid with miniature dragon and phoenix totems, vaguely reveals the majesty and auspiciousness of ancient mythical beasts!
And Xia Tian even noticed that his eyes were the same deep green color as Sun Quan, and they were very agile, like trickling water gathering into a pool!
"Well, is this...?"
Xia Tian has some guesses in his heart.
"Is this Princess Yaochi of the Qianxia Dynasty? Little sister, would you like to come over and play with me..."
And Xia Tian hasn't said anything yet.
The latter's eyes were the first to look at Xiaoyaochi with a full smile.
"This is my sister-in-law, Sun Shangxiang...Axiang, this is the envoy of the Qianxia Dynasty, General Xia, the elder brother of the king. I haven't seen you beforehand..."
Sun Quan, who helped Queen Wu sit down, had a straight face and introduced her.
Yes, it was Sun Shangxiang, the "Mrs. Sun" in history!
In history, after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan's sister was arranged to marry Liu Bei. Compared with ladies like Xiao Qiao, Mrs. Sun did not like red clothes and preferred armed weapons. She was quick-witted, strong and brave, and was quite like her two elder brothers. style.
There were more than a hundred maids around her, all of whom were guarding her with swords. Even people like Liu Bei felt worried and afraid every time they entered the inner room.
In particular, Mrs. Sun at that time relied on her being Sun Quan's sister to be unruly and domineering. Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers she brought from Wu State did not abide by the law!
So much so that Fazheng persuaded Liu Bei to keep a distance from him.
Later, Liu Bei simply had a city built, called "Xiling City" or "Mrs. Sun City", so that Mrs. Sun could live with her maids and guards.
There is also a theory that this city was built because Mrs. Sun was jealous of Liu Bei, so she built the city herself instead of living with Liu Bei.
The two lived separately until Liu Bei entered Shu, and Sun Quan sent a large ship to welcome his sister back to Wu. From then on, she never returned and was never heard from again.
Later, after Liu Bei settled in Yizhou, he officially married Wu Yi's sister as his wife, and there was no record of Mrs. Sun.
From this point of view, there is indeed not much emotion between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei. It is a complete political marriage from beginning to end!
Therefore, the "Sun Shangxiang" in front of her finally chose to abandon her own memory like Zhao Yun, completely cutting off the connection with Liu Bei, and came as an "illusion". On the contrary, she was worse than the original "Mrs. Sun" Even more favored by the Sun family and his son!
Thinking about it, I feel that I really owed her something, and now I am trying my best to make up for it.
Therefore, in this situation where a woman should not have appeared, Sun Shangxiang was able to help Mrs. Wu to participate!
"The old woman came here to thank General Xia for bringing Bo Fu the elixir..."
Queen Wu spoke.
Although his hair is patchy, he has a fierce aura, even higher than Sun Quan and Sun Ce!
Just because in history, after Sun Jian died, before Sun Ce and Sun Quan were completely independent, it was this "Queen Wu" who was in charge of Jiangdong's affairs!
When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he was influenced by Empress Wu Lie's courtesy and corporal, and met the scholars favorably, which started Sun Wu's "Jiangdongization" process.
After Sun Ce was assassinated, Empress Wu Lie recruited representatives of the exiled people to assist Sun Quan. Cao Cao ordered Sun Quan to "take the pledge as his son", and Empress Wu Lie made it clear that she would "not give the pledge", which prevented the Sun Quan regime from becoming a vassal of Cao Cao and laid the foundation for the tripartite establishment of future generations!
He was not only courageous and decisive, but also the one who "made the final decision" on many military and political issues in Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong and Sun Quan's early days in power. He played an important role in Sun Wu's founding of Jiangdong.
Therefore, after passing away on earth, she was even called the "Queen of Wu Lie"!
Because Sun Jian was dying, the originally beautiful "Queen Wu Lie" also had gray hair overnight. Now thanks to the reinforcements from the Qianxia Dynasty, Sun Jian stabilized the situation, so he brought Sun Shangxiang to express his thanks!
"Ahem... Xiang'er always said that she wanted to come and see the hero who killed the alien and saved the father..."
"I also heard that General Lu Bu defeated three saints and killed one saint in first place. This is really an unparalleled achievement and greatly boosted the morale of the human race..."
Queen Wu, or Mrs. Sun, sat down and looked towards Xia Tian with a smile!
Although he was praising Lu Bu, his eyes were on Xia Tian, as if he was appreciating some beautiful jade, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
"Queen, I think this may be a little exaggerated..."
However, at this time, a discordant voice sounded.
"Thinking that those people must have fought with General Taishi and General Zhou, they themselves consumed a lot of vitality... They are no longer in a complete state... Of course, this is still very powerful!"
Shockingly, it was the "Eagle Eye Young Saint".
Although they knew Lu Bu's "scary record", they also showed some disapproval.
After all, saints are not cats and dogs. Even someone like Zhou Yu who has a magic weapon in his hand cannot fight three alone and easily kill one person!
And you have to know that before the Qianxia Dynasty came, they were guest officials, but they were evenly matched with those foreign saints. If those foreign saints were easily defeated by Lu Bu, wouldn't it mean that they would also be easily defeated if they joined forces?
Therefore, several people intuitively felt that this record was exaggerated.
Even if it was not exaggerated, it was probably achieved by Zhou Yu, who entered the game with his own body, relying on his companion magic weapon, or Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai, the top generals of the Eastern Wu, relying on the power of the military formation to fight with the opponent and suffer some losses.
However, this still made several people jealous.
Because, although the Eastern Wu Dynasty recruited them, they just wanted to use their saint power and had not arranged a suitable position for a long time. Now the appearance of Xia Tian and others is more obviously to "snatch" their jobs, and therefore the hostility in the attitude of these people is even more obvious!
The words of the "Eagle Eye Young Saint" seem to be praising or even modest, but in fact they are belittling.
Moreover, it is quite cunning. While belittling the Qianxia Dynasty, he also praised Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai and other powerful people in the Eastern Wu Dynasty!
"No... This battle depends entirely on General Lu Bu... If he hadn't taken action! If we want to win, I'm afraid we would have to pay several times the price."
Zhou Tai, who was sitting at the banquet drinking and eating meat, didn't appreciate it, but stood up suddenly and shook his head to refute.
"So that's it, I thought too much..."
Zhou Tai interrupted himself, feeling a little annoyed, but he could only laugh awkwardly.
"I heard that Lord Sun was seriously injured... It just so happened that I refined a pot of 'Linglong Xiandan' a few days ago... It should help Lord Sun's injury..."
At this time, the Taoist priest who looked like an immortal spoke, his eyes were very peaceful, but he just interrupted the topic.
"Thank you for your kindness. This time, the old lady came here, in addition to thanking you, there is also something I want to discuss with you..."
Hearing this, Madam Sun nodded and thanked, and spoke.
"Xiang'er is getting old now! As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. So I want to take this opportunity to 'recruit a husband' for her and choose a suitable husband for her..." (End of this chapter)
