Lord of the Earth

The reason why Sun Ce was so happy was that the "holy golden pill" given to him by Xia Tian before was indeed very effective for Sun Jian!

After swallowing a golden pill, Sun Jian, who was already in critical condition due to poisoning and severe injuries, actually stabilized.

Although he has not fully awakened, he is no longer at risk of "dying" for the time being!

If we could really send someone to find the miracle doctor Dong Feng, there would be hope of recovery.

Therefore, they are naturally very grateful to Xia Tian and his group.

In fact, the effect of "Saint's Golden Pill" was also within Xia Tian's expectations.

This is because this "Golden Pill of Revenge" can not only enhance a person's cultivation and replenish the consumption of one's foundation, but also enable a person 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 was not very high.

Although he is a mighty "Jiangdong Tiger", he is only able to cross levels and fight against the saints with the blessing of the "Dynasty of Fortune".

Originally, he was not a true "saint", so he was naturally helpless in facing the remaining poisonous power after the attack of the black dragon!
However, the Centipede Saint is one of the "Five Poisons" after all, and his own "Golden Elixir" is naturally endowed with the ability to detoxify, although even the Centipede Saint himself cannot completely dissolve the poison of the Black Dragon.

But at least Sun Jian's life could be saved!
It was this point that made the two brothers of the Sun family happy, which led to the drinking scene at this banquet!
"I am very happy that Dongwu has the help of all the guests, and also has the reinforcement of General Xia and General Lu Bu of the Qianxia Dynasty. I will toast you with this glass of wine..."

Compared to Sun Ce who was "drinking" with Li Bai, Sun Quan, with his emerald green eyes, focused more on Lu Bu, and was full of praise!

There is no doubt that the strength displayed by Lu Bu in this battle is enough to make any "monarch" excited.

Although Sun Quan is not yet the master of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, he is still very eager for a "top general" like Lu Bu. Especially today's Lu Bu, who still retains strong combat effectiveness but no longer has the character of the "mountain wolf" he once was. He is simply a perfect "bodyguard candidate"!
"It's a pity that such a powerful person is difficult for me to use..."

Sun Quan sighed inwardly.

He then set his sights on several "guest officials" of the saints. After all, Lu Bu was just an outsider, and what he should really strive for now were these guest officials of the saint realm!

Especially the guest who has not yet arrived here, but is in charge of the "secret passage".

"Are you the elder brother of the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty? I heard from the eldest son that this General Lu fought against three alone, defeated two people, and killed a saint... Such a feat really boosts the morale of our human race!"

"This glass of wine is my toast to the Qianxia Dynasty. Please honor me!"

Among the several saint guests, one who was dressed in brocade and jade clothes, with sharp eyes and a look of a fierce and hawk-like look, suddenly stood up and spoke.

Although he was being polite.

But it was obvious that this saint was not very friendly towards the people of the Qianxia Dynasty!
Just because, in such a crucial battle, Zhou Yu actually chose to trust a group of people from other countries.

He was unwilling to reveal the true intention of the battle to them and even kept them in the palace. This was undoubtedly a contempt for them, and several people were actually somewhat dissatisfied.

However, this dissatisfaction could not be directed at important officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty such as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Taishi Ci, so it could only be directed at outsiders.

Now, this may seem like a "toast", but in fact, it is more like a "provocation" towards the Qianxia Dynasty!
"Sorry, I don't usually drink much, this is already too much..."

After hearing this, Xia Tian just said something indifferent and did not pick up the cup on the table.

Because he usually seldom drinks alcohol, drinking the first glass was already a courtesy to Sun Quan. As for these "saint guests", what kind of people were qualified to let him drink?

"This... you..."

The expression on the face of the Eagle-eyed Saint, who was dressed in brocade clothes, suddenly turned ashen.

After all, it was the saint himself who toasted, but Xia Tian actually refused to respond. This was undoubtedly a face-to-face rejection!

"General Xia, do you think that I, a saint, am not qualified to drink with you?"

The eagle-eyed man in brocade clothes spoke, his face gloomy.

"Lv Shengqing, you are worrying too much! General Xia came from the Qianxia Dynasty to support us. He must be very tired on the way. I think he can't handle the alcohol... Why don't we have a drink together..."

Seeing that something was not right, the good old man Lu Su hurriedly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

"Yes, the Qianxia Dynasty has great ambitions, and may be a little informal in etiquette..."

Sun Quan, who was sitting in the main seat, also spoke.

It was just because before, this eagle-eyed man in gorgeous clothes among the several guests had "reached" a cooperation with him and was a real one of his. Now that he was rejected by Xia Tian, ​​he couldn't just remain silent!

But when Xia Tian heard such remarks, he frowned.

Because Sun Quan's words "not being too particular about etiquette" made him feel as if they were meant to be meaningful..."

"Ahem... It seems that I came at the wrong time... I am sorry to disturb the guests from drinking."

However, at this moment a voice suddenly sounded.

Then, a woman came over supported by a young girl.

The woman was about forty years old, but her hair looked like a galaxy of white hair. Although it was gray, it still sparkled with a faint luster. There were a few faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, making her look a little old.

However, these fine lines and silver hair not only do not detract from her charm, but instead add a bit of wisdom and tranquility accumulated over the years.

"Mom, why are you here!"

Upon seeing this person, both Sun Quan and Sun Ce stood up and respectfully welcomed him to the main seat!

"Well, mother, could this person be Wu Guotai?"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

Wu Guotai is the concubine of Sun Jian in the novel and holds a very important position in the Eastern Wu.

However, it doesn’t seem like that in summer.

Because, for a mere concubine, at least people like Sun Quan and Sun Ce, who were equivalent to "princes", would not need to be so respectful. Therefore, this person was more likely to be Sun Jian's main wife, Empress Wu Lie, Madam Wu Tai!
As for the young girl beside him, she had a slim figure and a slender waist. She was dressed in a red dress, and her hair was like the most dazzling obsidian, gently tied up with a delicate silver hair chain, dancing in the wind. She had a shining forehead ornament inlaid with miniature dragon and phoenix totems, faintly revealing the majesty and auspiciousness of the ancient mythical beasts!
And Xia Tian noticed that his eyes were the same deep emerald green as Sun Quan's, and very lively, like trickles of water gathering into a pool!

"Well, is this...?"

Xia Tian had some guesses in his mind.

"Is this Princess Yao Chi of the Qianxia Dynasty? Little sister, come over and play with me, okay..."

Xia Tian hadn't said anything yet.

The latter's eyes, however, first looked towards Xiao Yao Chi with a smile on his face.
"This is my sister, Sun Shangxiang... Ah Xiang, this is the envoy of the Qianxia Dynasty, the king's brother, General Xia. Why don't you greet him first..."

Sun Quan, who helped Queen Wu sit down, said with a stern face,

Yes, it was Sun Shangxiang, also known as “Mrs. Sun” in history!
In history, after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan's sister was arranged to marry Liu Bei. Compared with the ladies of noble families like Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, Mrs. Sun did not like red dresses but loved weapons. She was quick-witted, strong and brave, and had the demeanor of her two brothers.

There were more than a hundred maids around her, each of them holding a knife to guard her. Even a figure like Liu Bei felt worried and fearful every time he entered the inner room.

In particular, Madam Sun at that time relied on the fact that she was Sun Quan's sister and was domineering and arrogant, so most of the officers and soldiers she brought from the State of Wu did not abide by the law!
To the extent that Fa Zheng even advised Liu Bei to keep his distance from him.

Later, Liu Bei simply ordered the construction of a city called "Chanling City" or "Lady Sun City" for Lady Sun to live with her maids and guards.

There is also a saying that this city was built by Lady Sun because she was suspicious of Liu Bei, so she built the city for herself and did not live with Liu Bei.

The two lived apart like this until Liu Bei entered Shu. Sun Quan then sent a large ship to bring his sister back to Wu, but she never returned and there was no news of her since then.

Later, after Liu Bei conquered Yizhou, he officially married Wu Yi's sister as his principal wife, and there was no record of Lady Sun anymore.

From this point of view, there really was not much emotion between Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei. It was a thorough political marriage from beginning to end!

Therefore, the "Sun Shangxiang" in front of him finally chose to abandon her own memory like Zhao Yun, completely severed the connection with Liu Bei, and came as a "virtual" identity. Instead, she was more favored by the three Sun family father and son than the original "Mrs. Sun"!

Come to think of it, he felt that he really owed her in the past, and now he was trying his best to make up for it.

Therefore, in this situation where women should not appear, Sun Shangxiang was able to support Madam Wu and participate!

"I came here to thank General Xia for the elixir that Bo Fu brought..."

Queen Wu spoke.

Although his hair was gray, he had a fierce aura, even more so than Sun Quan and Sun Ce!
It is because in history, after Sun Jian died, when Sun Ce and Sun Quan had not yet become completely independent, it was this "Queen Wu" who took charge of the affairs of Jiangdong!

When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, influenced by Empress Wulie's courtesy towards the wise and virtuous, he treated scholars with favor, thus starting the process of Sun Wu's "Jiangdongization".

After Sun Ce was assassinated, Empress Wu Lie recruited representatives of exiled people to assist Sun Quan. Cao Cao ordered Sun Quan to "hostage Ren Zi", and Empress Wu Lie clearly stated that "they would not send hostages", which prevented the Sun regime from becoming a vassal of Cao Cao and laid the foundation for the three-way tripod in later generations!

He was not only a man of courage and decision-making, but he was also the "decisive" person on many military and political issues in Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong and Sun Quan's early reign. He played an important role in Sun Wu's establishment of the Jiangdong state.

Therefore, after her death on Earth, she was even called "Queen Wu Lie"!
Because Sun Jian was on the verge of death, the originally beautiful "Queen Wu Lie" also turned white overnight. Now, thanks to the reinforcements from the Qianxia Dynasty, Sun Jian has stabilized the situation, so he brought Sun Shangxiang to express his gratitude!
"Ahem...Xiang'er has always said that she wants to see the hero who killed the alien race and saved her father..."

"I also heard that General Lu Bu defeated three saints and killed one saint with his first three moves. This is truly an unprecedented achievement and it greatly boosted the morale of the human race..."

After Queen Wu, or Madam Sun, sat down, she looked towards Xia Tian with a smile!

Although he was praising Lu Bu, his eyes were on Xia Tian, ​​as if he was admiring some beautiful jade. The more he looked, the happier he became.

"Queen, I think this matter may be a little exaggerated..."

However, at this time, a discordant voice sounded.

"I think those people must have fought with General Taishi and General Zhou, and they have consumed a lot of their energy... They are no longer in a complete state... Of course, this is still very powerful!"

Surprisingly, it was the "Young Saint with Eagle Eyes".

Although they knew about Lu Bu's "terrifying record", some of them seemed to be indifferent.

After all, a saint is not an ordinary person. Even someone like Zhou Yu who has a magical weapon in his hand cannot fight one against three and kill one of them easily!
And you have to know that before the Qianxia Dynasty came, they, as guests, were evenly matched with those foreign saints. If those foreign saints were easily defeated by Lu Bu, doesn't it mean that if they join forces, they will also be easily defeated?

Therefore, several people intuitively felt that this record was exaggerated.

Even if it is not an exaggeration, it is very likely that Zhou Yu, who participated in the battle personally, relied on his companion magic weapon, or Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai, the top generals of the Eastern Wu, relied on the power of the military formation to fight with the enemy and achieved the result when both sides suffered losses.

However, this still made several people feel jealous.

This was because, although the Eastern Wu Dynasty recruited them, it only wanted to make use of their saintly power and had not yet arranged suitable positions for them. Now the appearance of Xia Tian and others was obviously intended to "steal" their jobs, and therefore the hostility in these people's attitudes became even more obvious!
The words from the "Eagle-Eyed Young Saint" seemed to be praise or even humble, but in fact they were derogatory.

Moreover, he was quite cunning. While belittling the Qianxia Dynasty, he also praised Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai and other powerful figures of the Eastern Wu Dynasty!

"No... This battle depends entirely on General Lu Bu... If he hadn't taken action, we would have had to pay several times the price to win."

However, Zhou Tai, who was sitting at the banquet drinking and eating meat, did not appreciate it. Instead, he stood up suddenly and shook his head to refute it.

"I see. I was overthinking..."

He was a little annoyed that Zhou Tai interrupted him, but he could only smile awkwardly.

"I heard that Lord Sun was seriously injured... It just so happens that I refined a pot of 'Linglong Immortal Pill' a few days ago... It should be helpful for Lord Sun's injury..."

At this time, the Taoist who looked like an immortal spoke with a very peaceful look, but he just happened to interrupt the topic.

"Thank you for your kindness. This time, besides thanking you, I also want to discuss something with you..."

After hearing this, Madam Sun nodded and thanked him, then 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)
