913 Step by step, rainbow

The table was filled with exquisite food cooked by the Imperial Kitchen. There were all kinds of delicacies. The rice on the table was short and round. Each rice grain was round and shiny in the bowl, like pearls. When it entered one’s mouth, the rice was soft and smooth, thick but not sticky, and had a strong rice fragrance. One could never get tired of eating it.

“Where did you get this rice?” Xia Pingan didn’t eat any food. Instead, after eating two mouthfuls of rice, she asked the maid beside her.

official, this is Magu rice, also known as Silver Pearl rice. It is a tribute from the southern city of Jiangxi! The maidservant standing at the side replied.

“Oh!” Xia Pingan nodded. He had never eaten rice from Huaxia before. It was so delicious. Xia Pingan took another two mouthfuls of rice. The way of health maintenance taught by the Imperial doctors was also a rule in the palace. Even the Emperor had to eat the staple food first, which was rice. Rice was mainly eaten in the intestines and stomach, and could be easily converted into the essence needed by the human body. With this Foundation, it would be easier to digest vegetables. This was the way of the Emperor and his subjects serving the Emperor. It was the same as medicine. The so-called feeling weak after a full meal meant that when a person was eating, his stomach would consume too much energy to digest the food, and the order of digestion would be messed up.

Today’s meal was for Song Renzong alone. In this room, other than Xia Pingan, there were only the palace maids serving him and the historian who was taking notes on ” daily life ” at any time.

Xia ping ‘an was eating the rice calmly. Suddenly, as she was chewing, she found a hard object in her mouth. Xia ping’ an spat it out and found that it was a white gravel.

Seeing that there was sand in the emperor’s meal, the palace maid’s expression changed. This was not a small matter. The emperor’s meal was made by the Imperial Kitchen, and hundreds of people had inspected it. If the sand in the rice was not discovered, it meant that if something else was added to the food, it would not be discovered either. If this investigation was carried out, someone might be beheaded, and at the very least, they would be flogged.

“Don’t spread this matter!” Seeing the palace maid’s expression change and was about to call for help, Xia Pingan quickly stopped her and said gently, ” the color of this gravel is white, just like this Magu rice. It’s understandable that the Imperial Kitchen and the people who check the meals can’t find it immediately. This is a small matter, so don’t alarm the palace!

The palace maid at the side quickly agreed.

Xia Pingan nodded. He still wanted to eat two more mouthfuls of Magu rice, but the world of the realm Pearl was shattered.

……

In the secret room, the cocoon of light shattered. Xia Pingan opened his eyes and said softly, ” the time of this divine power realm Pearl is too short. There is no chance of a breakthrough fusion at all. This time, I have gained 18 points of divine power!

Looking at his watch, he saw that it had been less than three minutes since he had fused with this realm Pearl. After that, Xia Pingan picked up the next realm Pearl,’gratefulness Bestiary’, and prepared to fuse it.

After meeting Wu Wuxin, Xia Pingan returned to his villa on Hubin Road. As it was still early that night, he started to merge the realm beads that he had just obtained today.

During the day, after leaving the God’s temple, Xia Pingan had secretly explored kland using the clues and locations Hyder, the missionary of The Song of Life in the prison, had given her.

Hyder’s public identity had been exposed long ago, and the investigation Bureau had already been fully involved. Hyder’s public residence and those who were close to him were now under the investigation and surveillance of the investigation Bureau. Only the apartment where he hid his identity had not been completely exposed. However, Xia Pingan did not intervene easily either because he was not sure if the investigation Bureau had found all these clues. He had deliberately used his hiding place to fish, trying to lure out the hidden member of The Song of Life. It would be hard to explain why he had entered the apartment so rashly. He could only observe first. It would be even better if the investigation Bureau put a bounty on him to collect clues about The Song of Life.

……

Before fusing with Song Renzong’s realm Pearl, Xia Pingan had already fused with the realm Pearl that was ‘filled with evil’.

guilty of all crimes ” was the mobilization order and denunciation that King Wu of Zhou said to the Army when he was attacking King Zhou of Shang. Shang has committed all kinds of crimes, and he is punished by the heavens ” meant to criticize King Zhou of Shang for his various crimes and perverse actions. Fusing this realm Pearl meant giving a speech in front of the Army for a few minutes.

Song Renzong’s realm Pearl was also very easy to fuse with. This realm Pearl referred to Song Renzong’s Ren. If an ordinary person ate the gravel in the rice in a restaurant, he would probably make a big fuss. However, Song Renzong hid the fact that he ate the gravel in the rice in order to not let the servants in the palace be punished. Although it was a small matter, it showed that Song Renzong’s “Ren” was not an exaggeration. There were many similar things in the Song Dynasty. Xia Pingan admired Song Renzong the most for being able to live a human life.

It was a pity that the duration of these two realm pearls was too short, and it ended before Xia Pingan could ” show off ” his skills. The two realm pearls only increased the upper limit of his divine power by 45 points, which was far from enough to increase another level of the ” divine bone ladder “.

I hope this realm Pearl can have a chance to have a breakthrough fusion, ” Xia ping ‘an said to himself as he looked at the last remaining ” gratefulness portrait ” realm Pearl in his hand. Wu Zixu was a fierce husband who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, but his ending in life was too sad.

……

After dripping the blood, Xia ping ‘an was surrounded by a blue cocoon of light in an instant.

……

When he opened his eyes, Xia ping ‘an found himself standing at the entrance of a city gate. In front of him, there were many ordinary people standing around a notice in front of the city gate, discussing it.

Xia Pingan looked at her hands, which were rough and dark. She then looked at her feet. She was wearing straw sandals and her clothes were made of sackcloth.

I’ll go!

Xia ping ‘an had thought that he would be Wu Zixu in this realm Pearl. He did not expect that he would become a’ fisherman’. Although the failure of the fusion of this realm Pearl was not fatal, it would be strange if he could fuse with this realm Pearl without a spiritual will crystal.

One of the main characters of the gratefulness painting was a young fisherman, but his name was not recorded in the historical records.

“Ah, what does this notice say?” The bustling ordinary people in front of them tiptoed and looked in the direction of the notice while whispering to each other and asking what was written on the notice.

In this era, there were only a few people who could read, but this did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm for reading the official notice. Xia ping ‘an had always felt that the Chinese people had the genes of bystanders, and they might have started from watching the official announcements in this era.

Oh, it’s not good. Wu Zixu, the great general of Wu State, is leading an Army to attack our state of Zheng. Our King knows that he can’t resist it, so he has issued a notice to the whole country. He said that if anyone in the state of Zheng can make Wu Zixu withdraw his Army and not attack the state of Zheng, he will be rewarded with gold, silver, treasure, fertile land, beautiful women, and an official promotion! A well-dressed old man stood under the notice and explained to the crowd.

“Ah, the Wu country is coming?” Some of them were panicking.

our King and those generals and ministers have no way to make Wu Zixu withdraw his Army. We are all commoners, how can we make the Wu Army withdraw! Some people shook their heads.

Those people who were talking about it didn’t know that there was really a person who could make the Wu State army retreat. It was one of the onlookers who was watching the notice at the moment, an ordinary fisherman standing behind the crowd.

Xia ping ‘an was literate. He looked at the notice, which said that anyone with this ability could directly take off the notice and meet the Emperor.

After taking a few more glances, Xia Pingan squeezed to the front of the crowd. Under the surprised eyes of the surrounding onlookers, he walked directly to the bottom of the roll and revealed it.

“Ah, he can make the Wu State withdraw their troops?”

“Li Lang, you’re crazy. You dare to reveal the rankings?”

“It’s Li Lang, the Li Lang from the East River, hehe.”

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. From the comments, Xia ping ‘an found out that his real name was Li Lang. This name was really scribbled. It meant the son of the Li family. It seemed that Li Lang’s father had not given this son, who had left behind a story in history, a proper name.

As soon as Xia Pingan revealed the rankings, a thick-bearded military officer at the city gate immediately walked over and looked at Xia Pingan suspiciously. you were the one who revealed the rankings? ”

“Was I the one who revealed the board?”

The officer laughed. How dare you! If you dare to reveal the board to fool the Emperor, be careful of your head!

“If I dare to reveal the board, I naturally have a way to make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops?”

“What method?”

“I can’t tell you this, only Wu Zixu and I know about this method?”

The military officer had just exchanged a few words with Xia Pingan, but he didn’t expect that more and more people would come to watch the show. As soon as someone announced the Roll of Honor, a large group of people came to watch the show. When the military officer saw this, he couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. He directly took Xia Pingan out of the roll and brought him to see his superior.

After a series of tortures, Xia Pingan met with the superior of the officer’s superior. Although the officials of the state of Zheng felt a little annoyed that a fisherman dared to reveal the Roll of Honor, none of them believed that this fisherman could make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops. Some people even wanted to find out in a roundabout way what method Xia Pingan had to make the Wu Kingdom withdraw their troops. However, this matter was after all a notice issued by the monarch, and everyone in the state of Zheng knew about it. This fisherman was also tight-lipped, so they couldn’t find out anything. They also didn’t dare to keep the person who revealed the Roll of Honor and make things difficult for him. He could only get someone to escort Xia ping ‘an to Xinzheng to meet the Emperor.

The state of Zheng’s land area was not large, about 20000 square kilometers, so in just one day, Xia ping ‘an was sent to the palace of Xin Zheng and met with Duke Zheng dinggong.

At this moment, Zheng dinggong was also at his wits ‘end in the palace. Even if he still had a way, it was impossible for him to put up a notice all over the country to seek people with special abilities to think of a way to make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops. However, if Wu Zixu did not withdraw his troops, how could the state of Zheng resist?

Zheng dinggong had originally thought that the person who had revealed the roll would be a swordsman with strong martial arts or some extremely intelligent counselor. He did not expect that it would be a dark-faced and honest fisherman from kangze. He could not help but be disappointed. He was already very patient not to order the guards to push Xia Pingan out as a liar and have his head chopped off.

When he saw Xia Pingan, Zheng dinggong’s face was even darker than Xia Pingan’s.

“You said you can make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops?”

“Yes, I am!” Xia Pingan nodded.

“What virtue and ability do you have to make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops?”

Xia Pingan smiled and said, ” those who are virtuous and capable are the civil and military officials by Your Majesty’s side. Since they can’t make Wu Zixu withdraw his troops, why don’t you let me, an immoral and incompetent person, try? ”

When Zheng dinggong heard this, he sized Xia Pingan up again. He seemed to feel that this fisherman’s calmness and wit were different from ordinary fishermen. Thus, he nodded and said, ” sure, how do you want the state of Zheng to cooperate with you? I’m afraid leading troops and commanding generals is not your strength!

Zheng dinggong’s meaning was also very clear.’I can let you try and provide some convenience, but don’t expect me to order the Army to cooperate with you. You’re not qualified enough.’

I don’t need to bring an Army or a general. I just need the king to let me go home to get some things, then take me to the outside of Wu Zixu’s camp and give me a small boat!

“It’s that simple?” Zheng dinggong was stunned and asked in disbelief.

“Yes, it’s that simple!”

Zheng dinggong didn’t waste any more time and immediately had one of his capable men follow Xia Pingan back to Danze.

When Xia Pingan returned home, he didn’t take anything else with him. He just took the old oar from the boat at home and was sent to the Wu Kingdom’s army camp by Zheng dinggong’s men without stopping. They even prepared a small boat for Xia Pingan.

Xia ping ‘an rowed the boat directly towards the Wu Army’s camp. It was early in the morning, and the endless camp was silent. All the Wu soldiers were still sleeping. When the boat approached the Wu Army’s camp, he began to sing on the boat, ” Crossing the river, whose grace? [ the seven Star characters on the sword … I’ll return it to you. Take it with you. ] You’re so proud today, do you remember father-in-law Yu?”

This song was desolate and powerful. It resounded on the water’s surface, and the people in the Wu Army’s camp naturally heard it.

After Xia Pingan sang it twice, a small boat sailed over from the Wu Army’s camp not long after. A few soldiers on the boat looked at Xia Pingan and realized that he was a fisherman. There were no weapons on the boat, so they asked, ” were you the one who sang the song just now? ”

“It was me who sang it!”

“Our general would like to invite you to meet him in the camp!”

Xia ping ‘an didn’t waste any time and followed the Wu soldiers directly. They rowed the boat and approached the Wu Army’s camp. After they went ashore, they still held the oars in their hands. Then, they were brought to the big tent of the camp by the Wu soldiers and saw Wu Zixu.

There was a man in the tent. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of the vicissitudes of life. However, his eyes were as bright and sharp as swords, and his temperament was like that of a mighty master. He was staring at Xia ping ‘an.

Seeing Wu Zixu, Xia Pingan sighed in his heart. This man could dig up King Chu Ping’s grave and whip his corpse, but to the fisherman who had saved his life, he knew how to repay kindness and gratitude. He was clear about gratitude and resentment, dared to love and dared to hate. He was truly a fierce husband. If such a person did not exist in the spring and autumn, this era would probably be much more lonely.

“Greetings, general!” Xia Pingan bowed to Wu Zixu.

“Were you the one who sang that song just now?” Wu Zixu asked.

“I sang it!” Xia Pingan nodded. Without further ado, he handed over the oars in his hands and asked, ” general, do you still remember these oars? ”

In the big tent, the guard beside Wu Zixu took the oars and brought them to Wu Zixu. When Wu Zixu saw the oars, he was slightly stunned, and then his face revealed a trace of excitement. He gently touched the oars with both hands, as if he was immersed in his memories. I didn’t know, Qianqian, who gave you this oars after so many years? ”

“This oars were given to me by my father. My father said that he had used these oars to save General’s life in the past. Today, I have brought these oars to see general!”

that’s right. When I was being hunted down, I was indeed saved by a fisherman. What do you want? ”

now that the Wu State is attacking our state of Zheng, our King said that whoever can make the Wu State and Wu Zixu withdraw their troops will be heavily rewarded with gold, silver, jewelry, fertile land, beautiful women, high ranking officials and high ranks. This reward is what I want. If general still remembers the kindness of my father saving you, please stop attacking the state of Zheng and let me get that reward!

The tent fell silent. The guards around Wu Zixu stared at Xia ping ‘an with their eyes wide open, as if they had not expected that a little fisherman from the state of Zheng would dare to make such a rude request to the general.

Wu Zixu’s eyes were closed. After half a minute, he opened his eyes and looked at Xia ping ‘an with a bright light in his eyes.

However, half a minute felt like half a century for those in the tent.

“Good! Back then, your father saved my life, and today, I’ll repay this favor. You can return to your King and tell him to give you a hundred li of land. Then, I’ll bring my troops back to Wu and stop attacking your state of Zheng!”

Wu Zixu was indeed Wu Zixu!

Xia Pingan let out a long sigh. general Xie, I actually have something else to say to you!

yesterday, I had a dream of my deceased father. My father told me something. He said that if I see general this time, and if general is able to repay my kindness and make our family prosper, then he would allow me to save general once more to repay you.

Wu Zixu’s brows twitched and he was in disbelief. Oh, how are you going to save me again? ”

“My father told me a poem. He told me to tell the general that you will understand in the future!”

“Oh, what poem?” Wu Zixu asked curiously.

when King Wu Qi Yue attacked Qi, Bo Feifei’s words killed him. A fine bird in the nine Heavens should choose a tree, but a withered tree can not rest on its rotten branches!

As soon as Wu Zixu heard Xia Pingan’s words, his expression changed instantly, revealing an extremely serious expression. He asked word by word, ” did your father tell you this in your dream? ”

Of course, this was not something that Xia Pingan came up with in his dreams. It was something that Xia Pingan had made up on the spot. He really could not bear to see Wu Zixu die in such a way in the future, and he wanted to try to see if this realm Pearl could have a breakthrough in fusion. Therefore, he used the excuse of the deceased coming up in his dreams to add a little drama to himself.

Xia Pingan nodded with a simple and honest look on his face. yes, this is what my father said to me in my dream. I don’t know what it means either!

alright, I understand, Zhenzhen. Wu Zixu looked at the fisherman in front of him and thought for a moment. He then took off an exquisite Jade hook from his body and handed it to Xia Pingan. this Jade hook is for you. If we meet again in the future, you can take this Jade hook and come to me!

“Many thanks, general!” Xia ping ‘an took the Jade hook that Wu Zixu handed over, and the world of the realm Pearl shattered at once.

……

In the secret room, in the cocoon of light, Xia Pingan’s entire body was cleansed by the surging divine power. A new piece of divine bone quietly condensed into a dense mist again.

It was indeed a breakthrough fusion, and the upper limit of divine power was increased by 60 points.

……

A few minutes later, the cocoon of light on Xia Pingan’s body was completely shattered. Xia Pingan opened his eyes and smiled in satisfaction. He let out a long breath and said, ” I’m already a seven-star, and with a few more realm beads, I can advance to the sixth-level, bi an.

After that, Xia Pingan got up and stretched his body. Then, he walked out of the secret room and brought the Black Dragon to the study.

Dragon five was guarding the study. When he saw Xia Pingan coming out of the secret chamber, he bowed slightly to Xia Pingan and left the study.

It was still early, and he took less than half an hour to merge the three realm pearls.

Xia Pingan started to read in the study room.

……

Twenty minutes later, a horse-drawn carriage stopped outside the villa. Helena’s personal maid alighted from the carriage, walked to the door, and rang the doorbell. Dragon five went to open the door, and the maid handed him an envelope as usual.”This is for Mr. Xia!” She said. Then, he left.

Dragon five took the envelope to the study.

Xia Pingan opened the envelope with a paper cutter. Inside the envelope was a letter from Helena. Xia Pingan had another job the next morning. He had just finished merging the realm beads in his hands, and the new ones had come again. He really didn’t have to worry about it at all.

This luck was simply like realm beads rolling in when one was sitting at home!

Coincidentally, the one who wanted to perform the detoxification technique the next morning was the wife of the police chief.
