Li Yi didn't know which Zhao Yi Fang was referring to, which Zhao Yi was.
If it was the Zhao Yi he knew, the Qi Kingdom would have ended its western expedition just over a month ago. Unless Zhao Yi had wings, it would be impossible for him to appear here.
If it wasn't the Zhao Yi, he wouldn't have known any other Zhao Yi.
Li Yi suppressed his doubts and said, "Let him in."
Soon, Li Yi knew which Zhao Yi the Zhao Yi was.
He looked at Li Xuan, then looked at Yangliuqing, who was walking over, and then looked at Zhao Yi, who was walking in from outside the door.
The world must have gone mad.
Either that, or he hadn't woken up from his afternoon nap and was still dreaming.
He pinched Li Xuan's arm and asked, "Does it hurt?"
It could be seen from the pained expression on Li Xuan's face that he was in great pain.
Zhao Yi walked in from outside the door and walked to Li Yi's side. He cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "Brother Li, we meet again."
Then, he turned to look at Li Xuan with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
"Emperor Jing is here too."
His eyes finally fell on Yangliuqing. He looked at him for a long time before asking, "Is this the Empress of the Wu Kingdom?"
Li Yi felt that it was a pity that there was no camera at this time.
The tenth day of the seventh month in the fifth year of Jingping was an extraordinary day.
The emperors of Qi, Jing, and Wu Kingdoms, the three most powerful people in the world, had gathered together without any warning. Together with him, they could form a table of mahjong.
This was a day that would go down in the annals of history. This was also a table of mahjong that would shock the ancients and dazzle the contemporaries.
Zhao Yi looked at Li Yi again and said with a smile, "I've come from afar, but Brother Li can't even bear to give me a cup of tea?"
Li Yi looked at the three of them, then turned to Fang and said, "Serve the tea!"
…
After drinking a cup of tea and calming himself down, Li Yi still felt that the world had gone crazy.
Zhao Yi's wish to become the ruler of the world had been fulfilled by one-third.
In terms of territory, the area conquered by the Qi Kingdom was larger than that of the Jing Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom combined. That was to say, he had already achieved more than 50% of his dream.
If he wanted to be the only emperor, sooner or later, he would have to go against the Jing Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom.
But now, he was sitting here drinking tea with the Emperor of the Jing Kingdom and the Empress of the Wu Kingdom.
All Li Yi had to do was add some seasoning to his tea or wave his hand, and he, the future emperor, would be done for.
Zhao Yi looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Emperor Jing isn't in the capital. Why is he here?"
"Why do you care?" Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "If you can be here, why can't I be here?"
Li Yi could tell that Li Xuan was very hostile towards Zhao Yi.
This was normal. The relationship between the Qi Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom had always been tense. It was unthinkable that the two emperors could sit here and drink tea. If there was no hostility, could they still call each other brothers?
"I haven't seen Emperor Jing for a few years, but he has become more and more irritable." Zhao Yi looked at him and didn't care. He just smiled and said, "A few years ago, when we first met in the Jades Courtyard in the capital, where did the elegant Crown Prince Li Xuan go?"
"Are you insulting me?" Li Xuan suddenly stood up and looked at him angrily. "Are you looking for a fight?"
Li Yi pressed Li Xuan's shoulder down. It wasn't that he thought he was ruining the atmosphere, but that he didn't want him to humiliate himself.
Zhao Yi was a true master of both the pen and the sword. He could govern a country and fight a war. His martial arts were also top-notch. Li Xuan's mediocre martial arts couldn't compare to him.
He looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "You didn't come all the way here just to ask for a cup of tea from me, did you?"
"Of course not." Zhao Yi smiled and said, "It's been a difficult journey. If I don't get to taste Brother Li's cooking, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"
He didn't expect him to not only come for tea, but also for food. Li Yi looked at him and said, "The price of my cooking is very high. I wonder if you can afford it?"
Zhao Yi only smiled and said, "To be able to taste Brother Li's cooking, I'm giving the world to you. What's wrong with that? After all, you were the one who gave me this world back then. "
"Wait." Li Xuan looked suspicious and said, "What world? What gift? Why didn't I know about this?"
Li Xuan didn't know because Li Yi didn't tell him in detail.
He gave the Qi Kingdom to Zhao Yi, and then Zhao Yi led the Qi Kingdom to destroy the Zhao Kingdom and the western countries, and then pointed the spearhead at the Jing Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom — — wasn't this slapping his own face?
"That's not important." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's cook. I still owe you a meal, and I'll pay it back."
Zhao Yi had owed this meal for several years, and he had never formally paid it back. It didn't seem right to delay it any longer.
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "Brother Li, Zhao Yi has waited eight years for this meal …"
Li Xuan frowned and said, "Don't try to change the topic. What do you mean by giving the world? What is it?"
Zhao Yi looked at Li Xuan, then looked at Yangliuqing, and said, "Can the two of you leave for a moment? I have something to say to Brother Li alone."
Yangliuqing looked at Li Yi, and Li Yi nodded slightly. She then stood up and left.
Li Xuan frowned and said, "What can't be said directly? You two still haven't told me what the world is all about. "
Li Yi looked at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan looked back at him. After a while, they left with an ugly expression.
Zhao Yi looked at Li Yi again and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day I become the ruler of the world …"
Li Xuan poked his head back and said disdainfully, "Tsk, you're talking like you're the ruler of the world. Why don't you try fighting? I'll give you ten Tian Fa pills …"
…
After Li Xuan had left, Zhao Yi sighed and said, "I'm not as good as Li Xuan."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You're better than him in every other way except not being as stupid as him."
Zhao Yi didn't agree with him and said, "Sometimes, it's better to be a bit stupid …"
What he said made a lot of sense.
As the saying went, "Fortune favors fools, but fools don't."
Fortunately, Li Xuan belonged to the former.
Zhao Yi looked at him and suddenly asked, "If Brother Li had been born in the Qi Kingdom, and if I had known you before Li Xuan, would the result have been different?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "There are no 'ifs'."
Zhao Yi covered his mouth and began to cough. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his mouth and nose.
Li Yi was just wondering how he had become so effeminate after not seeing him for just over a year. Just as this thought arose in his mind, he saw bright red seeping out of the handkerchief.
His face showed shock, "You …"
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "I just said, I can't wait until the day I become the ruler of the world."
It was only now that Li Yi understood what he meant.
Li Yi suddenly couldn't help but feel sad. He opened his mouth and only spoke after a long time, "What illness?"
There were many reasons for coughing up blood, including bronchial diseases, lung diseases, esophageal diseases, endometriosis, and so on. Not every illness was fatal.
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "This is not important."
Li Yi was silent for a long time and then asked, "How much longer?"
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "After conquering the Zhao Kingdom, I went back to recuperate for a few days. The imperial doctor said that I have at most half a year."
Li Yi was silent again.
Zhao Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at him, asking, "Do you know why I want to become the ruler of the world?"
"I always thought it was your ambition."
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Because I had a promise with someone."
"She didn't like war. She often told me that if the Qi Kingdom, the Jing Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom all became one country, how good it would be. There would be no more wars between countries, and there wouldn't be so many families being separated, and the old sending off the young … Isn't it good for everyone to be happy?"
"She died. Before she died, I said that I would help her fulfill her wish."
"She was called Zhao Ji, and she was my younger sister."
"Now I am also going to die."
Zhao Yi looked at Li Yi and said seriously, "Brother Li, you once gave me the Qi Kingdom. Now, I am returning it to you …"
