Lord of the Earth

"Gongjin, you are not hurt, right?"

At this time, a somewhat anxious voice came from the Stone City.

A heroic figure exuding the aura of a saint, holding a spear flashing with thunder in his hand, riding on a purple dragon horse with a dragon head, walking on the water at an extremely fast speed!

"Yes, eldest son!"

It was the Little Overlord Sun Ce, who, upon learning that Zhou Yu and others were attacked by a foreign saint, abandoned his waiting position at Sun Jian's side and rushed to provide reinforcements.

"These foreign races are so bold that they dare to attack our important officials here. Aren't they afraid of the wrath of our human race?!"

On the dragon horse, Sun Ce looked very angry.

After all, there are four important officials of the Eastern Wu on the war ship, each representing the pinnacle of "civil officials and military generals"!

Although the Eastern Wu Dynasty is not as powerful as the proud Li Long, it is still capable of being the second in command in this area. Not everyone can mess with it!

"Thank you for your concern, sir. With the help of 'Suzakuyi', I am fine..."

Seeing Sun Ce coming, Zhou Yu's face was slightly touched. The Vermilion Bird above his head flew back to his body and turned into his "robe" again!
"I'm glad you're okay! Gongjin, Zijing? Since you guys are going out, why don't you bring two guests from the Saint Realm with you..."

After meeting Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, the situation was indeed not a big problem.

Sun Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief after he realized that the injuries on his body were not that serious.

However, there was also a hint of complaint in his tone!
Among the outstanding people of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, although he is the only one who has broken through to the Saint Realm, because he has a "pass" in his hand, he has actually invited several Saint Realm powerhouses to join as "guest officials" in the "City of Saints" before.

This is also the reason why even though the Li Dragon is so powerful and has the assistance of his saintly subordinates, it is unable to capture the Stone City!
Generally speaking, in order to prevent surprise attacks, there would be a saint on board the flagship, but this time Zhou Yu did not request the saint to travel on board!
"The alien race is cunning, far better than the races we have seen before... If there were a few saints they are familiar with on the war ship, I believe the alien saints would not have launched this surprise attack... Bo Fu, don't worry, this is within my calculations... In contrast, letting a few guest saints stay in the palace is also to prevent the other party from changing the target of attack after they see through it..."

Zhou Yu spoke eloquently and expressed his close relationship with his "brother-in-law".

You know, under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate for Sun Ce to leave the palace.

Now, knowing that he was under attack, he chose to ride his horse to rescue him alone at the fastest speed. This alone is enough to show that Sun Ce is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

Completely different from some rulers who can only share hardships but not wealth, and who "put away their bows when the birds are all gone", he is also a most suitable "ally"!
Therefore, for the sake of his brother-in-law and his best friend, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to "put himself in the game" and lure the alien saint to attack...

Originally, according to the plan, Sun Ce should have brought his army to the rescue, fought off the enemy together with the people of the Qianxia Dynasty, and demonstrated the power of the "Little Overlord" on the battlefield.

Thereby he won the trust of the people of the Qianxia Dynasty and replaced Sun Quan as the most suitable partner!

But Zhou Yu misjudged one thing.

That is, the strength of the reinforcements was somewhat beyond imagination, especially Lu Bu, who was like a ghost and god. Thousands of soldiers were afraid of him and he was invincible.

He defeated three alien saints with ease, and even forced another dragon saint who had not yet taken action to flee without a fight!

By the time Sun Ce arrived, only a little finishing work was left.

"As expected, there is always a loophole. This is Gongjin's miscalculation! Fortunately, the people of the Qianxia Dynasty are indeed extraordinary... Otherwise, I might really die here today..."

Besides Xia Tian who had guessed it himself, only Lu Su saw through Zhou Yu's plan.

This important official of the Three Kingdoms also felt somewhat fortunate at this moment.

Inviting foreign aid was a suggestion he made privately, and then it was proposed by the Second Young Master in front of many ministers.

Therefore, now that they have received assistance from the Qianxia Dynasty, the Second Young Master can definitely have a share of the credit in any case!

On the contrary, Sun Ce played a relatively small role in this process. Once the foreign genius was really killed by the people of the Qianxia Dynasty, the second young master would naturally be able to completely establish his advantage.

But Zhou Yu personally intervened and implemented this strategy of luring the enemy. If it succeeds, the Second Young Master will probably lose the initiative!

But now, because "Lu Bu" is too strong, Sun Ce has no chance to perform, and his plan has failed halfway.

However, Sun Ce's representative abandoned the "royal palace" and came to reinforce. Such a scene would have left a different impression on the people of the Qianxia Dynasty, and it still gave them some advantages!
Overall, the two sides can be considered a draw.

Of course, Xia Tian didn't know that there was such a "intrigue" involved.

Otherwise, you will definitely sigh and wonder why the human race, although its wisdom crushes that of other races, still has a hard time making progress, just because everyone uses their clever minds in these aspects!
"Is this Wen Hou Lu Bu? What a great painted halberd!"

Sun Ce's gaze fell on Lu Bu. After sensing the majestic aura emanating from him like a mountain, and seeing the head of the Centipede Saint on the deck, which was several feet in size and looked so chilling, his eyes couldn't help but flash with awe and wonder.

You know, Sun Ce's nickname is "Little Overlord".

The Overlord Xiang Yu is known as "Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages"!

Lu Bu is known as the number one general in the Three Kingdoms.

Who is strong and who is weak has always been a topic discussed by many people!

As Xiang Yu's successor, after knowing that the upcoming reinforcement was "Lü Bu", Sun Ce naturally had the idea of ​​competing with him!

However, these thoughts have been somewhat restrained now.

You know, the enemy is not a bunch of useless people.

Most of those who can reach the Saint realm have a "gold" rating and are the best among their race.

Even though these three saints may not be top-level existences like the dragon clan due to their race, they are still outstanding!
He knew very well that although he had already become a saint, there was still a big gap between him and Lu Bu.

"But is this the realm that our human race can reach?"

However, Lu Bu's strength did not affect Sun Ce's state of mind, but only made the little overlord's desire to become stronger even stronger!

"My Lord, this is General Xia, the elder brother of Lord Xia..."

At this time, Zhou Yu's words made Sun Ce turn his attention to Xia Tian.

Although Lu Bu is powerful, he has now become a "ghost" after all, and has the advantage of the weapon of revenge. In comparison, Xia Tian, ​​a saint of the Qianxia Dynasty, can better represent the strength of the Qianxia Dynasty!
"I have met you, young master! I have only heard of your majestic demeanor, and now that I see you, you are even more impressive than the rumors!"

Xia Tian held in his hand the cup of tea that had just been poured before Lu Bu made his move, and the wine in it was still warm, and spoke with some appreciation on his face.

Although the ancients said "If you want to have a son, you should have one like Sun Zhongmou", Xia Tian felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Sun Quan's act of "giving away 100,000 heads in Hefei"!
In contrast, after his father's death, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong heroes at a young age and opened up a foundation. This is undoubtedly more in line with the temperament of a lord like himself who started from scratch and founded a dynasty. "I came here in a hurry, but I forgot one thing! This 'Sacred Golden Pill' is given to the eldest son as a gift, hoping for friendship between the two countries..."

Xia Tian stretched out his hand, and the blood flowing on Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji beside him quickly condensed and turned into a holy product "Golden Pill" that was flashing with spiritual power fluctuations and had the charm of Taoism!
As a weapon of revenge, after killing the enemy, Lu Bu can use his enemy's body and soul to refine "Revenge Blood Pill" and "Revenge Gold Pill".

The effect of the blood pill is very direct, which is to enhance the strength. It is even more effective for those who have just been promoted to "Saint". It can be said to be worth a lot of money!
The latter can allow people to inherit a large part of the "power" of the alien creatures that were killed, while also nourishing the source of life!

"This thing may also be helpful to Lord Sun!"

"Thank you, Lord Xia, and General Xia!"

Sun Ce's expression lit up. After taking the holy golden elixir and feeling the tremendous spiritual power contained in it, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke with a somewhat excited expression.

It is obvious that Sun Ce valued Sun Jian's safety more than his own "succession to the throne".

Filial piety has been the most important thing in China since ancient times. As the saying goes, a filial person can’t be that bad!

Xia Tian nodded secretly, thinking that this person was worth making friends with.

"The banquet has been prepared in the palace, General Xia and Mr. Qinglian are invited to join us!
Sun Ce, who obtained the "Holy Revenge Pill", couldn't wait to invite everyone from the Qianxia Dynasty to climb the Stone City and enter the palace.

"Second Young Master! The eldest young master has gone to reinforce. Should we..."

At the same time, in the center of the Stone City, in the center of the "palace" that was noble and elegant yet had the texture of a military camp, a waiter in a yellow robe was surrounding Sun Quan and wanted to say something!
However, when he looked up and met Sun Quan's pair of green and sparkling eyes!
"I was wrong...

He knelt down quickly again and swallowed the words in his mouth.

"Second Master, the eldest master has returned with the servants of the Qianxia Dynasty..."

Until a new yellow-robed waiter came to report.

"Go and inform a few guest saints... and invite them to the banquet!"

Sun Quan shifted his gaze and then spoke in a deep voice.

……

"General Xia, these bowls and plates are made of the shell of a jade turtle! The jade turtle is a kind of alien creature that is crystal clear. Its shell is as warm as jade. Wearing it can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. It can make you feel relaxed and happy, and forget the troubles of the world..."

"And this is the golden durian, it has an unusually mellow flavor and melts in your mouth. Eating it can make you feel refreshed and help you cultivate..."

"This is... the juice squeezed from the dragon's saliva fruit. It is full of fruit fragrance and contains the power of dragon's breath. Taking one pill can strengthen the body and make people energetic and powerful..."

Stone City, Royal Palace.

Xiao Yao Chi was "offensive" on the table in front of him with a wide variety of rare fruits and vegetables.

It is not difficult for her to break through to the "Holy Product". She only needs to "taste" different spiritual materials, especially the medicinal essence and the power of rules in the spiritual plants, and finally "melt them in one furnace" to further "refine" and sublimate herself!
Therefore, this seemingly delicate little princess was like a reincarnated glutton, stuffing all kinds of flowers and fruits into her mouth without any restraint.

This scene made Sun Quan, who was sitting on the right side of the main seat in front, frown slightly.

As a former emperor, it was inevitable that he attached great importance to these etiquettes. He thought to himself that this "princess" of the Qianxia Dynasty seemed too casual and lacked proper etiquette.

After all, it is a new dynasty and its foundation is too poor.

"In the past, I have heard Brother Zijing mention the Qianxia Dynasty many times, saying that there are many talented people there, all of whom are of dragon and phoenix appearances... Today, after meeting General Xia and Princess Yaochi, I know that what he said is true!"

However, as the founding monarch of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan would not easily reveal his emotions.

He and his brother Sun Ce sat in the center of the banquet, each holding a luminous cup in their hands, and the wine in the cup was crystal clear.

"This wine was carefully brewed by an extraordinary wine master in my mansion after spending half a year. It has a mellow taste and can be called a holy wine. It has the effect of matching the gods, mellowing the heaven and earth, and nourishing all things! I dare not enjoy such a fine wine alone, and I would like to share it with you."

After saying this, he signaled the maid to pour wine for each guest present.

The color of the wine is as alluring as a ruby, and it contrasts beautifully with the emerald green luminous cup, making it even more noble and extraordinary!

"Haha, the Second Young Master is so generous, we should appreciate it."

The person who spoke was a burly man who was over ten feet tall, shirtless, with thick chains wrapped around his arms. He exuded a cold, hard metallic aura from head to toe, as if he was a walking steel fortress!

Next to him, there was an elderly Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a long sword. He had an extraordinary temperament, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth. Although he had his eyes closed and was concentrating, there seemed to be endless sword energy rising and falling and changing around him!

Next to him was a young man wearing a brocade robe, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and a hint of nobility.

The fourth saint was a mysterious woman in a black robe, her face hidden in the shadow of a hood. She never spoke, but just sat quietly in the corner, like an invisible shadow that people unconsciously ignored.

"This wine is indeed extraordinary..."

Xia Tian looked at these saints and took a sip of the "wine".

I could smell the rich aroma of the wine and evaluated myself in my heart.

Although it is not as good as the quasi-holy amber wine currently produced by the Qianxia Dynasty, this wine is also top-notch and is a truly "extraordinary" level wine!

"Good wine, good wine!"

"Fine grape wine in a luminous cup... burp... the pipa urges me to drink. I lie drunk on the battlefield... don't laugh at me, since ancient times, few men have ever returned from a battle!"

The rich aroma of wine woke Li Bai who was lying on the table. He acted unrestrainedly and disregarded etiquette. He snatched the wine jug from the maid, drank it down with his head tilted back, and recited poems.

Although he was a great poet with a lofty ambition, Li Bai also had poets and poems that he admired.

For example, the line "There is a scene before my eyes that I cannot describe, as Cui Hao has written a poem above it" from "Yellow Crane Tower", and Wang Han's "Marching to the Army"!
"This... is so disrespectful, so rude..."

Seeing this, Sun Quan's green eyes frowned even more tightly, and he felt even more unhappy.

“Great poem, great mood!”

"Mr. Qinglian, you are truly a man of character. You can drink a lot! I will accompany you!"

On the contrary, Sun Ce's face was filled with admiration, and he immediately picked up a pot of wine and drank with Li Bai, full of heroism! (End of this chapter)
