The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 280 Farewell to the Divine Stone Core
After Liu Yu woke up, Gan Ning went to supervise Yizhima to build a bridgehead for Hanting in Waguo.

Gan Ning really didn't dare to stay in the same place with Liu Yu now. He was afraid that something he said accidentally would hurt Liu Yu again.

The ship's doctor told Gan Ning very clearly that Liu Yu should have a good rest for the next few days. If he was stimulated again, the doctor did not know what the consequences would be.

"Xingba, when you go to Zhuya County, take me with you. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of place Zhuya County is!"

After Liu Yu learned from the ship's doctor that he had basically recovered, he immediately found Gan Ning and asked him to take him to Yizhou and Zhuya County.

Looking at Liu Yu's determined expression, Gan Ning felt a little headache. Why was Liu Yu so stubborn?

"Don't worry, I'm emotionally stable now. I won't faint from emotional excitement again." Liu Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

How could Liu Yu not know what consequences would it bring to Liu Bei if something really happened to his Qingzhou fleet?

Liu Yu looked at Gan Ning's embarrassed expression and knew that Gan Ning was hesitating about this matter, so Liu Yu added fuel to the fire.

"If you choose to send me back to Qingzhou first and then turn around to Zhuya County, you two will not be able to make it to Chen Zichuan's wedding."

When Gan Ning heard Liu Yu reveal this fact, the hesitation on his face became even more obvious.

Just as Liu Yu said just now, if Gan Ning chose to send Liu Yu back to Qingzhou first, and then go to Zhuya County to find gifts, then he would really miss Chen Xi's wedding.

Although Gan Ning could find some more popular gifts as a gift to Chen Xi.

But Chen Xi was, after all, the recommender and guarantor of Gan Ning to become the chief of the navy under Liu Bei.

Gan Ning didn't want to just find a random gift to get by with this, so he decided to go for something tacky.

Anyway, there are a lot of tacky things like this in Zhuya County. Just send a truckload of them and see who dares to say they are tacky.

"Zi Yi?" Seeing Gan Ning hesitating, Liu Yu turned his gaze to Taishi Ci.

"This..." Taishi Ci looked at Gan Ning. Gan Ning had to make the decision on this matter.

Liu Yu's fainting did indeed scare Taishi Ci, although he didn't understand why Gan Ning was so anxious at first.

But Taishi Ci was not stupid. He quickly figured out what kind of public opinion storm would be caused to Liu Bei if something really happened to Liu Yu in their hands.

Gan Ning couldn't help but look at the ship's doctor and asked him, "Are you sure Lord Bo'an is okay?"

The ship's doctor impatiently put down the herbs he had just picked and said to Gan Ning, "I've told you many times that everything is fine.

As long as Lord Bo'an's emotions don't fluctuate as violently as before, you can go anywhere you want."

After the ship's doctor finished speaking, he picked up the basket full of weeds, which were actually herbs, and left.

Gan Ning looked at the ship's doctor who left directly and just shrugged his shoulders, not intending to blame the doctor at all.

After all, if you want to go on an ocean voyage these days, you won’t be able to go far on the sea without a reliable ship doctor accompanying you.

“Well, since the ship’s doctor says it’s ok, it won’t be a problem to take you to Yizhou and Zhuya County.

But do you plan to take your family with you? It's not an easy journey." Gan Ning was not ready to give up trying to persuade Liu Yu.

Liu Yu shook his head. "You should send a ship back to Qingzhou to inform Xuande about the situation in Yingzhou, and then have them go to Fenggao."

Gan Ning choked. He really didn't expect that Liu Yu had this idea.

However, Liu Yu's guess was correct. After the bridgehead here was completed, Gan Ning would indeed send a ship to report the situation here to Chen Xi and Liu Bei.

Gan Ning sighed. What a mess. "Forget it. Since Lord Bo'an wants to go, let's go together."

Gan Ning compromised. There was no other way he could have done it. After all, even if Gan Ning had tied Liu Yu to Fenggao, Liu Yu would have found a way to go to Zhuya County to have a look.

When Liu Yu heard that Gan Ning agreed to this matter, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that Gan Ning would directly send him to Fenggao.

Although after arriving in Fenggao, Liu Yu would also find a way to go to Zhuya County himself.

Of course, if Yan Rou, Xian Yu Fu and others had not been placed under house arrest by Gongsun Zan and did not board the ship with Liu Yu.

Liu Yu must have gone to Fenggao to meet Liu Bei first, and then went to Zhuya County.

But now, Liu Yu thinks it would be better to follow Gan Ning to Yizhou and Zhuya County.

It is not an easy thing to run from the north to Jiaozhou these days.

……

Just as Gan Ning and others set off for Yizhou and Zhuya County, Fenggao was also preparing for Chen Xi's wedding.

"Zichuan, given our strength, is it really necessary to do this kind of fancy stuff?" Yang Ji said, pointing at the peach blossoms in the greenhouse built by Chen Xi and managed by Cookie.

"Yes, Zichuan, Zi Yu is right. With our current strength, we really don't need to do these weird tricks." Cookie next to him agreed with Yang Ji's statement.

Looking at the peach blossoms blooming luxuriantly even in winter, Cookie felt that his farming skills were unmatched.

However, Cookie always felt that the reason why these peach trees, apricot trees, etc. only bloom but do not bear fruit is because Cookie went against the natural order and made the peach trees bloom in winter.

Yang Ji had no idea about Cookie's idea and just let Cookie indulge in the ocean of imagination.

Chen Xi gave an explanation for why peach trees bloom in winter.

Cookie could not deny Chen Xi's explanation, and pollinated the peach flowers according to Chen Xi's instructions, and then the peach tree bloomed and bore fruit in winter.

Yang Ji picked two greenhouse peaches, gave one to Cookie, wiped the other on his clothes, and took a bite directly from it.

Well, I can only say that Cookie is worthy of being the contemporary Shennong. The peaches grown in the greenhouse in winter are quite delicious.

"Hey, these peaches are going to be used in my wedding. Why are you two eating them now?" Chen Xi's forehead twitched.

The most important thing is that Yang Ji didn’t even help him pick one.

"Stop being pretentious. Just tell me whether you want to eat peaches or not." Yang Ji picked the third peach and threw it to Chen Xi.

"Tsk—" Chen Xi took the peach and said nothing more. Now was the time to enjoy out-of-season fruits.

"Honestly, if you have time to create a peach blossom rain in winter, you might as well handle a few more government affairs in the Government Affairs Office."

Yang Ji casually threw the peach pit onto the open space nearby with just enough force to allow the peach pit to sink into the moist soil, waiting to sprout next year.

"Zi Yu is right. If you want a rain of peach blossoms, you might as well wait until spring to hold the wedding." Cookie squatted down, poked the peach pit in his hand into the soil, and then took some loose soil to cover it.

"Can the date of a duke's wedding be changed at will? Moreover, this month is the leap November that only comes once every hundred years. What a great day." Chen Xi said while eating a peach.

"November is indeed a good day.

But I still want to ask you, what is the purpose of creating these artificial auspicious signs?
Don't tell me that the king's power is granted by God. Do you think that with our current strength, we need to rely on the power of ghosts and gods?"

Yang Ji was very suspicious that Chen Xi's purpose of creating such an artificial auspicious sign was not to win back the hearts of the people or to intimidate the noble families.

Chen Xi shook his head and said softly: "The main audience of this peach blossom rain is not us, nor the other princes and noble families, but the one sitting in Beichen in Weiyang."

Yang Ji and Cookie looked at each other and saw great confusion in each other's eyes.

What does it mean that the main audience of the auspicious sign is not them, not the princes and noble families participating in the fight for hegemony over the world, but Liu Xie sitting on the North Star in Weiyang?
"Do you think that with Liu Xie's character, he can tolerate the existence of Lord Xuande?" Chen Xi looked in the direction of Chang'an.

Yang Ji was silent, and Cookie was also silent, especially Cookie. He had been to Shanglin Garden and witnessed Liu Xie's cold-hearted nature with his own eyes.

When Wang Yun was threatened by Li Jue and Guo Si and jumped off the city wall, Liu Xie did not say a word to defend him.

When Wang Yun's family was ordered to be executed by Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie did not say a word.

Cookie glanced at Chen Xi. It seemed that this guy Chen Xi had no respect at all for the emperor.

"You guys chat, this topic is not suitable for me." Cookie slowly left the greenhouse.

Standing at the door of the greenhouse, Cookie looked at the sky outside and sighed.

What does the title of emperor itself mean to Chen Xi and Yang Ji?
Cookie knew why Chen Xi did this. Theoretically, every member of the royal family of the Han Empire was a candidate for emperor.

After Liu Bei was certified by the Zongzhengfu, he, a once impoverished member of the royal family, was also qualified to inherit the throne.

……

Time soon came to the day of Chen Xi's wedding, and Yang Ji saw Gan Ning, Taishi Ci and Liu Yu who had just returned at the banquet.

"I thought you two wouldn't be able to catch up." Yang Ji raised his glass and clinked it with Gan Ning and Taishi Ci.

"How could the two of us miss the military advisor's wedding? I have calculated the time specifically." Gan Ning shook his head and smiled.

"Here, this is something I brought back from Zhuya County specifically for you." Gan Ning took out a pearl the size of an egg.

[This is...] Yang Ji looked at the pearl that Gan Ning took out with some doubt.

Taishi Ci saw Yang Ji staring at the egg pearl that Gan Ning had taken out, and thought that Yang Ji was shocked by the size of the pearl, so he said to Yang Ji:

"General, please keep it. Although this thing is considered the best in Zhuya County, it is not the only one."

"Xingba, are you sure you want to give this pearl to me? This pearl is not simple." Yang Ji said seriously.

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he stuffed the pearl into Yang Ji's hand and asked, "General, do you know the details of this pearl?"

Gan Ning even put Chen Xi's wedding aside for the moment. He certainly knew that the pearl in Yang Ji's hand was not simple.

After all, it was a treasure he personally fished out of the sea. However, because the divine object was self-concealed, Gan Ning could only vaguely sense that this pearl was unusual, but could not see its true appearance.

As for why he gave such a treasure to Yang Ji, wasn't it to thank Yang Ji for covering for him at the Jie Bridge?

If Yang Ji had not provided him with strong support, Gan Ning might not have been able to break out of Yuan Shao's camp after burning Yuan Shao's flag.

What's more, when they were at the Jie Bridge, Yang Ji also introduced Gan Ning to the five necessary secret techniques of the navy.

Group defensive secret techniques, wave secret techniques, channel chain solidification secret techniques, self-circulation of essence and energy, and cloud energy reserves.

Although Yang Ji did not know these five secret techniques, he did help Gan Ning realize what was missing from the Qingzhou Navy he founded, at least he knew part of it.

"Even if the core of this pearl is the core of the magic stone, will you still give it to me?" Yang Ji looked at Gan Ning seriously.

Although Yang Ji really wanted the core of the magic stone, it was Gan Ning who gave it to him after all.

Moreover, the preciousness of the magic stone can be seen from Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

Even without the assistance of the divine stone core, these two people can still reach the current level in martial arts.

But... forget it, that is a height that ordinary people will never reach in their lifetime.

If we were to say who under Liu Bei's rule needs the magic stone core the most, it would definitely be Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei, who practices the three paths at the same time, must ensure that his energy, spirit and vitality are at the same level.

If Zhang Fei swallowed the core of the magic stone, it might break the balance between his essence, energy and spirit.

But Guan Yu is different. Although Guan Yu's divine will is extremely strong, his internal energy and physique are not very strong.

If Guan Yu's willpower is at the level of breaking through boundaries, then Guan Yu's internal energy is at most at the level of perfect internal energy leaving the body.

Physical strength refers to the level at which internal Qi leaves the body for the first time, and this is the result of breaking through the internal Qi leaving the body, breaking the constraints of the human body, and drawing in the essence of heaven and earth to cleanse the body.

In recent times, Guan Yu's physical strength has improved. After all, Yang Ji's gravity field was not built in vain.

However, Guan Yu's internal energy was still in a half-dead state, although it had improved under the strengthening of the extraordinary secret technique.

However, compared with the strength of his divine will, the refinement of Guan Yu's internal energy looked very insignificant, and his internal energy still looked perfect and out of his body.

Yang Ji had already made up his mind. If Gan Ning was really determined to give the core of the magic stone away, Yang Ji would turn around and give it to Guan Yu.

"The core of the sacred stone!?" Gan Ning screamed, and Taishi Ci looked at the pearl in Yang Ji's hand with shock.

Gan Ning and Taishi Ci's shocked expressions still attracted the attention of others present.

Fortunately, Yang Ji had been prepared and had set up a secret soundproofing technique nearby, so the others could only see Gan Ning and Taishi Ci's shock but could not hear what they were saying.

It is better to keep such an extremely precious treasure as the core of the divine stone hidden away.

However, Yang Ji's secret soundproofing technique can only protect against other princely families except those under Liu Bei's rule.

Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and others who were sitting next to Yang Ji and Gan Ning still knew what Yang Ji and Gan Ning were talking about.
