The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixuan nodded: "As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. It seems that you have encountered a villain."

Ban Yu gave a bitter laugh and said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise in this world."

Zixuan was a little annoyed, so he coughed twice: "Ahem!"

Ban Yu then realized that he had spoken out of turn, because the queen was also a woman.

He quickly covered his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, did not say anything about you."

Zixuan chuckled, "I know, you don't have to blame yourself."

"I will be going to Yiyang City tomorrow. You must be careful at home and don't let the foreign diplomats plot against you."

Ban Yu nodded in agreement. The next day, Zixuan left some daily necessities, knives and coins for Ban Yu and his companions.

Then he led the guards towards Yiyang City.

When she arrived at a deserted place, she put the robot soldiers and the carriage into the space.

He asked the machine boss to set the coordinates and immediately teleported to the outside of Yiyang City.

He looked out from the space and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately released the guards and the carriage.

The queen held her hand and repeatedly warned her, "Xuan'er, be polite when you meet the King of Wu."

"If you feel something is wrong, return to the space immediately. Do you understand?"

"I understand, mother. You know how capable Xuan'er is. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After saying this, he lifted his legs and left the space. When he arrived at the foot of Yiyang City, he saw that the gate was closed. He ordered the guards to shout towards the city:

"Listen carefully, soldiers on the city walls! Zixuan, the lord of Fugui City in Qi, requests an audience with King Fuchai of Wu!"

Upon hearing this, the general guarding the city did not dare to delay and quickly sent his men to report to the king.

When King Fuchai of Wu heard that City Lord Zixuan had arrived, he hurriedly asked Generals Wu Zixu and Sun Wu:

"My two beloved ministers, Zixuan is here to visit you. Do you think I will see him or not?"

Wu Zixu replied, "Your Majesty, I believe Zixuan was sent by Duke Min of Chen as a lobbyist. Meeting him or not doesn't make much sense!"

Fuchai turned to Sun Wu again and asked, "What do you think, my dear minister?"

Sun Wu said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Zixuan possesses great magical powers, and possesses benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness."

"Three years ago, our country suffered from drought and floods. If City Lord Zixuan hadn't come to our rescue!"

"I'm afraid our country's national strength won't recover so quickly!"

"I wouldn't have achieved what I have now. Besides, the eldest princess is Zixuan's daughter-in-law. I should meet her both for public and private reasons!"

Fuchai nodded and said, "My dear minister, your words make sense. I will personally go out of the city to welcome you!"

So, Fuchai took two people and opened the city gate to welcome Zixuan in.

Zixuan and Fuchai exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down. Zixuan bowed to Fuchai and said:

"My Lord, Zixuan has come here because of the war between the two countries."

"Your Excellency has now captured three cities, which can be considered as revenge for the Dun Kingdom."

"It also teaches the Zhen Kingdom a lesson. Why not just stop fighting now?"

After hearing this, Fuchai thought to himself that Wu Zixu was right. Zixuan was indeed here to act as a lobbyist.

He smiled and replied, "Look, City Lord Zixuan, our army's morale is high right now."

"Destroying the State of Chen is as easy as taking something out of a bag. It's just a matter of time."

"Even if I want to withdraw, I'm afraid the soldiers won't agree."

The two generals also agreed: "Yes, we two will not agree to it!"

Zixuan chuckled and looked at Wu Zixu: "General Wu, do you still remember the story of the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Wu Zixu's eyes wandered: "That, this..."

How could he not remember it? And it was so vivid. Zixuan waved his hand and millions of soldiers descended from the sky...

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zixuan smiled slightly: "Two generals!"

"I bet you'll voluntarily withdraw within three days! Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

After saying that, he left the county magistrate's office with a wild laugh. The three of them looked at each other in confusion and felt a little panic in their hearts.

After leaving Yiyang City, Zixuan found a remote place. Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped into the space.

The queen was very happy to see her daughter back: "Xuan'er, you're back. How are things going?"

Zixuan sneered: "It didn't work. They didn't agree to withdraw the troops!"

"Oh? What should I do then?"

"Don't worry, mother. Xuan'er already has a plan to repel the enemy!"

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Do you want those wooden men to help you fight?"

Zixuan shook his head and said mysteriously: "Mother, you will know when the time comes!"

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zixuan called the boss over and gave him a few instructions.

Then he put on a black nightgown, set the coordinates, and teleported to the sky above the Wu army's granary in an instant.

He looked outside and saw that there was no one around, so he lifted his legs and left the space.

Looking at the piles of food and fodder, he whispered in his heart, "Food, food! I'm coming!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and immediately dozens of grains and grass were easily collected into the space.

At this time, the queen was sleeping soundly, and suddenly she felt the ground shaking.

He suddenly sat up and yelled, "Xuan'er! The earthquake is happening again! Run! Run!"

After saying that, he rushed out without even putting on his clothes.

She had just run outside and came back when she was nearly hit on the head by a bag of grain.

He leaned over the window and looked out, and immediately screamed: "Oh my God! Why is it raining food from the sky?"

"Xuan'er! Xuan'er! Come out and see what's going on in your space? Ahhhh... there's a ghost!"

Seeing this scene, Dabai Ya also flew around in the space and shouted: "Ga Ga Ga! The earth is shaking! Ga Ga Ga! It's raining!"

At this time, Zixuan had already collected the food and returned to the space.

The queen hurried over and shouted, "Xuan'er! Where have you been? Come and see what's going on."

Bai Ya also flew over and shouted, "Hahaha! Yes, yes!"

Zixuan smiled and said, "Mother, Xuan'er has collected all the food and fodder for the Wu army. I hope I didn't scare you."

"How could you not be scared? Mother thought there was another earthquake."

Bai Ya also echoed: "Hahaha! Yes, yes!"

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely tell you in advance when I pack things next time."

The queen nodded and said, "That's right, you know my mother is timid!"

Zixuan chuckled: "Okay, everything is fine now, let's go to bed."

After saying that, he went back to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning, King Fuchai of Wu was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.

He asked angrily, "What's going on so early in the morning?"

Wu Zixu shouted from outside: "Your Majesty, please get up quickly! There is an urgent military situation!"

Fuchai was shocked and quickly got up from the bed and put on his clothes. The eunuchs also ran over to help him tidy up.

After getting dressed, the eunuch opened the door. As soon as Wu Zixu entered the room, he said in a panic:

"Your Majesty! Millions of dan of grain disappeared overnight!"

"What? What are you going to say?"

"Your Majesty! I'm saying that millions of dan of grain disappeared last night. They're all gone!"

"Nonsense! That's millions of shi, not just a few! How could it just disappear out of thin air? Could it have been stolen by a ghost?"
