Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 123 7 Stars to Extend Life
Suo Chao suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"Generals, please allow me to give it a try! I am confident that I can cure Prime Minister Zhuge's illness." His words caused surprise and doubt among the generals.
The leaders in the army shook their heads in disbelief. They knew nothing about Suo Chao's background, so how could they trust a stranger? Wei Yan and Yang Yi, sworn enemies, were now on the same side in a rare show of solidarity. They unanimously opposed Suo Chao's request.
Wei Yan's eyes widened and he said sternly:
"The Prime Minister is worth millions of gold. How can he be manipulated by an unknown young man like you? What ability do you have to dare to make such a boast?"
Yang Yi also echoed:
"Exactly! The Prime Minister's health is of paramount importance. We must not take any risks. If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?"
Facing everyone's doubts and opposition, Suo Chao did not back down. He stood up straight and said confidently:
"Generals, although I am young, I have studied medicine since childhood and have considerable experience. I came here because I heard that Prime Minister Zhuge was seriously ill. With compassion in my heart, I hope to do my best to help. Please give me a chance!"
However, his words did not convince the generals. They still insisted on their own opinion, believing that the prime minister's condition should be diagnosed and treated by a more authoritative doctor. The situation was deadlocked for a while, and both sides were deadlocked.
Suo Chao, unwilling to be rejected, left the Shu camp with his sister and began their journey to Wuzhangyuan (present-day Qishan County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province). Thanks to the instructions of Generals Liao Hua and Wang Ping, the Shu army did not interfere with Suo Chao's decision to stay or go. Their personal freedom was guaranteed.
Zhuge Liang awoke from his coma, his face pale and his eyes slightly blurry. He struggled to sit up. Wang Ping and General Liao Hua stood respectfully nearby, Wang Ping's face grave, Liao Hua's brow slightly furrowed. They informed the Prime Minister of the strange occurrence in the army.
After hearing this, Zhuge's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was also quite surprised. He had been practicing Taoism since childhood, so he naturally had a certain degree of understanding of strange people and events. He knew that there were always people better than him, so he did not dare to be arrogant in the slightest.
"Oh! Where is the strange man you met now? Invite him quickly!" Zhuge's eyes showed an anxious light. He raised a slightly trembling hand and said hurriedly.
"Prime Minister, they have already left the military camp." Wang Ping took a deep breath and said with his head down.
"Forget it! It's God's will." Zhuge Liang sighed deeply, his eyes instantly becoming dim. He raised his head slightly and looked at the top of the tent, his heart full of helplessness and regret.
Then, Zhuge Liang said with a serious expression:
"Next time you meet this young man, please don't neglect him." The Shu Han official in the tent nodded in agreement, indicating that he would not be rude again.
Kong Ming was already terminally ill. He activated the Seven Star Life Extension Formation, hoping to borrow ten more years from heaven. Jiang Wei was distraught when he learned of his teacher's serious illness.
Jiang Wei was also shocked when he heard about Suo Chao's miracle. He made two preparations. On the one hand, he prepared the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation, and on the other hand, he ordered General Wang Ping to search for Suo Chao and his sister.
Suo Chao and Zhang Mei Niang slowly made their way to Yumi County, where the air seemed thick with the scent of ink. Suo Chao, his face serious, strode ahead, while Zhang Mei Niang followed, skipping and mumbling behind.
"Brother, why is there so much ink here? It's so boring." The little girl pouted her cherry lips, frowned slightly, her face full of resentment, and her steps became slow.
Suo Chao stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Mei Niang, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and love. He touched Zhang Mei Niang's head and said softly:
"Little sister, Shu and Wei are currently engaged in a fierce war. How can Fufeng County be as lively and fun as it used to be? I brought you here because I hope you can truly experience the lives of the people and gain some insights."
After saying this, he looked around at the somewhat desolate street and the various items displayed on the stalls, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart. At this moment, a breeze blew by, raising some dust, adding a bit of desolation.
Suo Chao activated his Wushuang power and retrieved tables, chairs, and benches from System A. World—tools he'd crafted to set up his stall in his spare time. Now that his Wushuang power had reached a state of unfettered control, activating "Sword Domain-Dimensional Space" on a small scale to access items no longer caused a stir.
Zhang Mei Niang opened her big, watery eyes, full of curiosity and surprise. She held her pink cheeks with both hands and looked at Suo Chao seriously, with a gleam in her eyes, and murmured:
"Brother, your ability to create things out of thin air is really amazing! I also want to learn it." Her face was full of desire.
Suo Chao shook his head helplessly. He had no way to teach her, and they couldn't share the system space. For now, he could only teach Zhang Mei Niang the Yue Nu Sword Technique to get rid of this little girl.
"First, practice the Yuenu Sword Technique to the state of great perfection, and then cultivate the sword intent to the state of great perfection. Maybe it's almost there..." Suo Chao was also at a loss for words. Lying is a skill. To deceive a naive little girl is truly a sin.
"Great! Thank you, brother." Zhang Meiniang cheered immediately upon hearing this, jumping around like a happy little bird.
Suo Chao then expertly set up his stall, displaying cloth banners for divination and healing. On either side of the stall hung a pair of calligraphy. The left-hand side, in eloquent calligraphy, read: "Helping the world with a pot of water, bringing back the dead with miraculous hands." The right-hand side, in vigorous and powerful script, read: "Forecasting the future, avoiding disaster and seeking good fortune."
Passersby were captivated by the brazen banners displayed by the Suo Chao siblings and involuntarily stopped in their tracks. Their eyes, filled with curiosity and inquiry, stared intently at the two, as if drawn to a magnet. Some tilted their heads slightly, others leaned sideways, whispering to one another, their expressions thick with curiosity and confusion.
"Alas, the world is so difficult nowadays! Look at this brother and sister. In order to survive, they actually resort to deceptive business." An old man stroked his beard, frowned slightly, with a sigh and helplessness in his eyes, and secretly pondered the situation of the brother and sister.
"Yes, yes! Look at that little kid, he hasn't even grown a beard yet, what real skills can he have. He must be unreliable and it's not easy to cheat people." Another middle-aged man shook his head with a slightly contemptuous expression on his face, thinking that the brother and sister were probably just messing around.
At this time, Old Man Ge had also set up a fortune-telling stall nearby. He was a well-known fortune-teller in the area. He looked up at Suo Chao with a hint of contempt. This was no easy feat. A young boy posed no threat. Fortune-telling required experience.
"Haha! Now we have something interesting to watch! Colleagues are enemies." An old man, who was enjoying the show, started to make trouble.
Suo Chao did not take the other party's words to heart. Now he has long been indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is not afraid even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.
