Chapter 598 Fairy Lake (6)
Chapter 598 Fairy Lake (6)
After playing at Fairy Lake, Wangyou packed up her fishing rod and bucket, then carried the fish home.
While Xiao Qi was busy being the Seventh Master, Wang You was also busy improving the Han Dynasty's cavalry over the years, arranging saddles and horseshoes, and also finding several iron mines to improve the iron smelting technology.
The weapons of the Han Dynasty also underwent a major change.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would come to Xinyu whenever they had free time, especially Huo Qubing, who basically settled down in Xinyu when there was no war.
When Huo Qubing was seventeen, he defeated a much larger enemy force and pursued the Xiongnu for three thousand miles. Emperor Wu of Han bestowed upon him the title of Marquis of Champion and granted him the emperor's deep favor.
"Huo Qubing, is there something wrong with your uncle? It's been so long, and he still hasn't gotten married to Princess Pingyang. Isn't he being too slow?"
“Who says otherwise? My uncle always felt that he was not good enough for the princess, and the two of them were always being delayed.”
"Well, neither of them has a mouth, but the third brother seems to really like your uncle."
"It seems so, but my uncle only has Princess Pingyang in his heart, and the Third Fairy is also infatuated with the wrong person."
"What I'm more curious about is whether the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are sick. They have perfectly good daughters, but they don't even have names. They just call them 'eldest,' 'second,' and 'third.' It's really something else." Wangyou was really curious about this.
When the Queen Mother had an accident, the Jade Emperor rushed over to stabilize the order of the Heavenly Court. However, he was probably too busy to pay attention to what his daughters were doing.
Now that you mention it, it is indeed strange. Will I be able to eat an extra fish today?
"Sure, you can ask Fairy Lake if they'll give you an extra fish."
"Alright then." Huo Qubing could only shout towards Fairy Lake, and with that shout, Fairy Lake appeared.
"Miss Wangyou, I want to start cultivating again. Do you have any ideas?" After many days of silence, Fairy Lake decided to give it a shot.
"I do have the method, but what do you plan to do after you've mastered it?"
"Go ask the Jade Emperor, then beat him up, at least to vent the resentment I've accumulated over tens of thousands of years," Fairy Lake said confidently.
"That's good, I'll help you beat her up later!" Wangyou waved his hand, released the restrictions on Fairy Lake, and gave her a set of cultivation techniques.
When the restrictions on Fairy Lake were lifted, Wangyou discovered that the restrictions were not due to her own deep obsession, but rather because someone had trapped her there. As for who did it, Wangyou didn't even need to think about it; there could only be the Queen Mother.
"Thank you, Miss Forget-Me-Not. If I return, I will thank you again for your great kindness." Fairy Lake disappeared after saying this.
Wangyou has always been enthusiastic about watching the excitement, so she set up an array on Fairy Lake to speed up the cultivation speed there. Although it might not be as fast as hers, it wouldn't be much slower.
Thinking about all this, Wangyou threw a few more innate spiritual treasures into the lake, so that when Fairy Lake reshapes its body, the resulting body will be the most powerful.
What did you throw into the lake?
"Of course it's something that helps Fairy Lake return to the human world. Let's go back and eat fish."
"Can I have half an extra one?"
"Okay, you do it?"
"How could I possibly cook!" Huo Qubing exclaimed helplessly.
"It's good enough to have something to eat," Wangyou retorted with a grin, then had Huo Qubing carry the bucket, and the two went straight home.
When Chen Fugui saw his daughter and the Champion Marquis carrying a bucket of fish, he resigned himself to his fate and began to process them. Huo Qubing quickly went to help. He wasn't good at cooking, but he could still kill fish.
Thanks to the fact that the Chen couple had been eating fish from Fairy Lake that were said to possess spiritual energy for many years, and with Wangyou occasionally feeding them spiritual spring water, their health was excellent, but they just couldn't have any more children.
However, the couple felt that having two daughters was already a blessing, and they didn't insist on having more.
The people in the county are very familiar with and friendly to Wangyou and Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi is responsible for punishing evil and promoting good in the county, while Wangyou does great things that benefit the country and the people. However, compared to Wangyou, the people of Xinyu are closer to Xiaoqi.
After all, forgetting worries is a bit distant for them, while Xiao Qi is much more down-to-earth.
"Grandma, give me two pieces of tofu."
"Alright, Wangyou is back from fishing again."
"Hmm, buy two pieces of tofu and make a crucian carp and tofu soup."
"Would you like some bean sprouts?"
"Yes." Wangyou nodded with a smile.
Granny Liu quickly packed up what Wangyou wanted, and Wangyou went to the next stall.
"The two daughters of Chen Fugui are growing more and more outstanding. I wonder which young man will be good enough for them!"
"That's right, as the seventh master of Xinyu, Xiao Qi is undoubtedly powerful. Wang You directly liaises with His Majesty. That's incredible. The Chen family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"
"Let's ask around. If it works, we'll go and pray to them."
“Those are the ancestors of the Chen family, and you don’t have the surname Chen.”
"Then I can change my surname, that's not out of the question."
Everyone laughed as they spoke.
Passing by the vegetable stall, Wangyou smiled and picked out some vegetables after seeing Jiang Si, who had been turned into a turtle by Xiao Qi. Jiang Si had always been shortchanged in business. Xiao Qi told him to pay off his debts, and that he could become a human again once he paid them off. It had been more than ten years, and he was still the same.
Sure enough, greed will be punished. After buying the vegetables, Wangyou went to the fruit stand and bought some fruit.
When I got home, Xiaoqi also came back, excitedly telling me about what happened that day.
It's clear that she genuinely enjoys standing up for the people; she's happy for half a day every time she does a good deed.
On the contrary, she hasn't learned any magic. Over the years, she has relied on the two fairies behind her to do things. The two fairies, under Xiao Qi's supervision, have become quite proficient in magic.
After dinner, Huo Qubing was summoned away.
Emperor Wu of Han was not idle in these years. He sent out an envoy to dig along the world map and actually brought back crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. In addition, he actively prepared his army with the goal of unifying the world.
It must be said that this goal is great, and Wangyou fully supports it.
"Your Majesty Emperor Wu of Han, I have something to tell you."
"Why did you come all of a sudden? What good things have you brought for me this time?"
"There's nothing good this time. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Do you see this small island?"
"I see, it's a tiny place!"
"Don't underestimate this place; it was Xu Fu's final resting place."
"Xu Fu, the sorcerer during the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang."
"That's right. Xu Fu fed the First Emperor the so-called elixir of immortality, which actually killed the First Emperor. Before the truth was exposed, he took three thousand boys and girls, claiming to be looking for the way to become an immortal, but in reality, he ran away and went to this small island to become king and tyrant."
How do you know so much?
