Chapter 2575: The Blessings and Disasters of the King of Huainan
"What? More than half of the people who tried Li Qi died?"

The King of Huainan believed that luck could be good or bad, and gains and losses would almost balance each other out.

He obtained the magic gold, but inexplicably encountered a sorcerer from the vicious country who was eavesdropping on him on the roof of the hall.

He obtained Li Qi, but most of the desperadoes who had been trying the food for a long time died.

In the early morning, he rode his horse eastward to search for the long star but found nothing. When he returned to Shouchun City at night, he encountered a death. The King of Huainan felt that bad things were beginning to happen one after another.

"The bodies are white and the blood is solid. These people are indeed dead!"

After personally checking with his hands, King Huainan felt that these people were completely dead.

"They took too much Li Qi, and their bodies are in a state of high decay, decaying faster than normal people!"

"I should have known better than to let them try Li Qi. Their blood and flesh are poisonous and no longer meet the standards for medicine!"

"How come they died almost at the same time? This is weird!"

"I think it's very likely that the medicine we gave them conflicted with Li Qi!"

"What a pity for these people. They managed to grow old but they didn't make it!"

"There's no other way if there aren't enough death row prisoners. We can't use ordinary people to test it!"

"It's difficult to cooperate with the food tasting. It's impossible for ordinary people to eat Li Qi continuously. Only people with these drugs and death row prisoners keep stuffing it into their mouths for the sake of freedom and life!"

"You can already see the plaster accumulation in their stomachs!"

"This one who eats rotten Li Qi... Ugh~"

……

At present, the one who makes Li Qi is a craftsman, but the one who refines Li Qi is an alchemist.

The three alchemists discussed the matter back and forth, then looked at the gloomy-faced King Huainan.

"Although Li Qi is good, you can't eat too much!"

Some people had their wrists cut, some had their stomachs slashed, and the smell of decay and stench continued to spread.

The tasters who ate the rotten Li Qi found it stink so bad that even the highly professional alchemist couldn't help feeling nauseous and vomiting.

In addition to these stench, some people have excrement on their bodies which is also smelly.

No one under the King of Huainan could stand the stench, so he waved his hand to signal everyone to quickly dispose of the body wrapped in sackcloth.

The bodies were carried out one by one, and King Huainan also frowned as he left the prison cart area in the palace area.

"Eat less fried Li Qi!"

If these people's tests brought any conclusions, King Huainan felt that fried Li Qi should be eaten less, and taking a large amount of this fried Li Qi would cause death faster.

Of course, these test subjects continued to eat Li Qi for more than ten days, and normal people's diet would not be so outrageous.

If it is eaten with other ingredients, the possibility of death will be greatly reduced.

As military rations for emergency use, the King of Huainan believed that Li Qi was very qualified. However, if it was used as military rations for long-term consumption, it would have defects. People might die after eating it for two or three years, not to mention using soldiers to fight.

"Blessings and misfortunes, misfortunes and blessings, this matter of the balance of fate is truly mysterious!"

The King of Huainan was obviously in a very good mood.

Both Li Qi and Shu Jin have flaws, which also corresponds to the balance of luck and technique, which means that the backlash of luck and technique after bearing high luck is constantly decreasing.

"Your Majesty!"

The stimulation from Li Qi and Shu Jin gradually faded, and after the excitement, King Huainan only felt a little more tired and painful in his body.

He did not go to the palace again, but returned to his bedroom.

The lights in the bedroom were still on. Queen Liaotu was writing a secret letter to a crow. She quickly stood up when she saw Prince Huainan enter the bedroom.

"Has Ling'er reported back?" asked the King of Huainan. "Minyue attacked Nanyue, and Nanyue asked the Han court for help." Liao Tu said, "The court has selected generals such as Zhuang Zhu to lead 100,000 troops to the south. Ling'er said that Zhuang Zhu received a secret order in the palace, and it is very likely that it will point to us in Huainan when suppressing the rebellion!"

"what?"

The King of Huainan was shocked, feeling that all kinds of bad things were about to happen.

He originally thought that Li Qi and Shu Jin had balanced the blessings and disasters, but he didn't expect that there might still be some residual effects.

Although the King of Huainan felt that the new emperor was not worthy of the position and it would be better if he ascended the throne, the King of Huainan did not intend to rebel right away.

All preparations of Huainan were not yet complete, so how could he fall out with the imperial court?

Even if Huainan won the battle, all he would get would be a mess, which was not what the King of Huainan needed.

"Did Ling'er get more accurate information from Zhuang Zhu? What secret decree is involved?" asked King Huainan.

"I don't know." Liao Tu shook his head and said, "Should the king make preparations early?"

"We can't let the imperial army take root in the southern region," said the King of Huainan with a frown. "Once Zhuang Zhu and his men lead their troops to the area near Huainan, we will go to great lengths to entertain them. But if the flag on the city wall changes, we will be caught off guard!"

"I think so too," Liao Tu nodded and said, "What I fear most is that Qian'er will use Li Qi and others' impulsiveness to cause trouble, thus leading to our premature confrontation with the court."

"Let's not talk about the accidental conflict between us," said the King of Huainan, "If Assistant Zhuang follows orders to search Changxing and finds something, that will also make us uncomfortable!"

"This is such a coincidence!"

"The imperial court has a Grand Historian in charge of astronomy and calendar calculations. It is normal for them to observe long stars in Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty..."

"I'm going to Minyue!"

King Huainan waved his hand, indicating that Liaotu need not worry.

"As long as King Zou Ying of Minyue dies, those who clamor for an attack on Nanyue will surely stop, and the court will have no reason to send troops further south," said King Huainan.

"The King of Nanyue..."

"That old immortal Zhao Tuo has been dead for two years. He couldn't possibly plot against me. The kings of these small countries can only maintain balance if one of them dies!"

It is obvious that the King of Huainan, who was stationed in the southern region of the Han Dynasty, did not take the small barbaric countries seriously, and he was also well aware of the weaknesses of these small countries.

Whenever there is no leader, these people will stop doing what they want.

The King of Huainan happened to have some means to target the King of Minyue, Zou Ying.

"Zhao Tuo was a general guarding the border of the Qin Dynasty. He proclaimed himself emperor and tried to replicate the Qin Emperor but failed. However, he still has some relics of the Qin Emperor. It's a pity that the imperial court intervened to prevent Minyue and Nanyue from fighting to the death, otherwise we would have taken advantage of them!"

"In the court, either the Empress Dowager or His Majesty has mastered the art of fortune-telling. And they need to be proficient in it in order to cause our plan to fail!"

"This technique is so mysterious. This kind of confrontation happens almost unconsciously. It is completely confusing!"

"The art of movement is the most powerful tool in the world to assist cultivation. Unfortunately, I have been cultivating for many years but have not found the key points. It is difficult for me to follow the path of the art of movement. Otherwise, I would not have lost so much!"

"Your Majesty, please find this trail..."

"Who?"

Just as Liao Tu was about to agree with King Huainan, he heard King Huainan shout loudly and ran out of the bedroom without caring about his untied clothes.

"Damn the evil country curser!"

The faint feeling of going away in the sky made King Huainan curse softly.

The green and red swords in his sleeves never flew out and could not reach the opponent.

Tian You and others never returned after chasing the sorcerer, but King Huainan did not expect that the sorcerer would come to the palace again, which made him look extremely unhappy.

The Han court was unable to do anything about these sorcerers, and the Prince of Huainan was obviously unable to do anything about them either.

If you don't set a trap to lure the enemy, it will be almost impossible to snipe and kill the enemy.
