Chapter 105: Strange Physique!

Li Yiqi and the girl discussed poetry in the tea room. During this period, Li Yiqi discovered anomalies several times.

Although this girl is weak and lovable, the aura on her body changes from time to time, giving people a sense of vitality for a while, and as if there is no look for a while, just like the old man who is in the middle of his life, a trace of anger may be cut off at any time. It's just that the girl herself doesn't seem to notice it at all, which makes Li Yiqi secretly frightened.

Pretending not to notice the abnormality, Li Yiqi returned to the state he was in the school palace back then, changed topics with the girl, and privately looked at each other's talents and attainments.

This time, Li Yiqi's literary skills accumulated in the previous life finally came in handy, no matter what kind of topic the girl came up with, it was difficult for him for a while. However, the same thing happened to the girl, Li Yiqi, in the spirit of humility, did not trouble the other party, and deliberately did not choose too difficult topics. However, gradually, he found that this girl's talent and attainments were far beyond his expectations!

Some of the questions that were known as difficult problems in the school palace were answered after the girl's silence for a moment, which made Li Yiqi's eyes inevitably show a strange look.

"The imperial court is controlled by Confucianism, and more than 1,000 years of Confucianism and education are now full of scholars in the world. Don't say that Shangjing, even the school palace in Kyushu is also full of talents, but this woman's talent is estimated to be able to crush most people......"

Li Yiqi took out the inner volume test questions of the past years that Tianfu School Palace never circulated to the outside world to test the girl, but he was also answered by the girl in a moment, which shows the girl's ability in literary cultivation.

It didn't take long for a rush of footsteps to be heard in the courtyard, and the girl's lips bloomed with a bright smile, and she turned her head and said, "It's my brother who is back!"

"Well, because it should be. Li Yiqi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

At this moment, Ban Xing hurriedly rushed into the tea room, and when he saw Li Yiqi and the girl sitting opposite each other drinking tea, his face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he exclaimed: "Zhao'er, why are you here?!"

"Brother, you're back!" After all, she was born in a family of eunuchs, and when she saw her brother returning home, the girl hurriedly got up and respectfully saluted Ban Zhao.

"Zhao'er, you...... Why did you wake up?" Ban Xing looked at the girl carefully, a hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes, but when he saw Li Yiqi on the side, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Ban Xing has seen the son!"

"No need to be polite. Li Yiqi smiled slightly and waved his hand casually, but he was a little puzzled in his heart - woke up...... What does that mean?!

"Shizi?" The girl was stunned, the beautiful eyes looked at Li Yiqi suspiciously, her eyes were full of doubts, and Ban Xing on the side saw this, and hurriedly pulled the girl's clothes, indicating that she should not say more.

"Brother Ban, let's go to your study to talk. Li Yiqi stood up, looked at Ban Xing and said.

"Okay, Shizi, please. Ban Xing nodded, then whispered a few words to the girl, and walked out of the tea room with Li Yiqi.

"Brother Ban, is that girl ...... just now" In the corridor, Li Yiqi followed behind Ban Xing, and still couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Ban Xing's footsteps in front stiffened slightly, and he turned his head and replied, "That's the little sister Ban Zhao." ”

"Hmm. Li Yiqi nodded lightly, and said with a casual smile: "Sister Ling is very 'special'." ”

Hearing this, Ban Xing suddenly paused, turned his head to stare at Li Yiqi, his eyes were full of vigilance, and asked, "What does the prince mean by this?"

Seeing such a big reaction from Ban Xing, Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, his heart moved, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he sighed: "Three hundred years ago, Xie Ling, a talented woman in black clothes, sang a lot of songs, and won the world with her poetry talent. But because it is a woman's body, the authentic handiwork is quite small, but three hundred years later, few people mention the name of Mr. Ling Jiang again, even if it is the gentleman in the palace and some Confucian scholars in the court, I am afraid that they have not read Xie Lingjiang's poems, but I didn't expect Ling Mei to know. ”

Li Yiqi praised him, just to test Ban Xing's reaction. In his opinion, there must be some secret in Ban Zhao's body.

When Ban Xing heard this, he seemed to be relieved, and he also smiled and said: "The prince has won the award, and the little sister is because of ...... For some reasons, she can only stay at home all year round, and she has basically not seen any outsiders, so she likes to read some books when chatting, and she has basically read all the books at home. ”

"Hehe, I see, Ling Mei is talented and intelligent, which is enviable. Li Yiqi smiled and did not ask further. Ban's family is a family of historiography, and there are more than 10,000 books in the house, if Ban Zhao really reads them all, I'm afraid ten years will not be enough, unless......

Soon, the two arrived in Ban Xing's study, which was different from Li Yiqi's imaginary reading room, which was very messy, with a lot of ancient books scattered on the ground, which seemed to have been searched for over and over again and then thrown aside, and there was no place for people to settle down.

The prince smiled. Ban Xing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that the room was so messy, and hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up a meal, freeing up two places that were enough for people to sit and talk.

"It's okay, I do it a lot. Li Yiqi smiled bitterly, he had already learned from Ban Zhao that Ban Xing was frantically consulting ancient books these days, just to complete the tasks he entrusted to him, how could he care about this.

After Ban Xing sorted out all the books and vacated the place to sit, Li Yiqi dragged a cushion and sat cross-legged.

"Shizi, these are the materials you asked me to sort out, among which there is very little information about the Ancient Night Dynasty, basically all of them are related to the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions, and most of them are the information obtained by His Majesty Emperor Qin during his westward expedition, I will classify and sort it out, this is the catalog. ”

Ban Xing handed a piece of paper into Li Yiqi's hand, and summarized and sorted out the details of the information related to Loulan Kingdom, Li Yiqi roughly flipped through it, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he was surprised: "There is only such a little information about Loulan Kingdom?"

"That's right, there's only that. Ban Xing nodded and said: "In the Western Expedition back then, His Majesty Emperor Qin claimed to have penetrated the entire Western Regions all the way and made all countries submit. Loulan is just one of them, and its strength is not strong, there are few records, most of them are mentioned in passing when mentioning those powerful vassal states, and there is only so much real information. ”

"There are also records that were brought back not long ago when the Anxi army broke through the Loulan Kingdom, but ......" Speaking of this, Ban Xing's face showed a look of hesitation, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was quite hesitant.

"But what?" said Li Yiqi, stopping his movements

"Shizi, when I was checking the information, I found something strange. Ban Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally continued: "This Loulan country seems to have some mysteries......

"What's the mystery? Li Yiqi's brows furrowed.

Ban Xing thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The prince should know that in the Western Regions, a city can be called a country, so all the countries in the Western Regions exist in the form of states, and the country of Loulan is located in the Western Regions, but it has never joined any state for hundreds of years......"

"According to common sense, such a small country basically has two endings, either it will be annexed or destroyed. Judging from the historical records of my Xia Dynasty, many of the predecessors of this Loulan Kingdom were destroyed because of this, but ...... Strange is strange here. Ban Xing showed a strange expression on his face, and said with a smile: "No matter how many times this Loulan Kingdom has been destroyed, it can always be restored after a period of time, and it will find a new city to continue to be king, isn't it strange that you say it?"

"There is such a thing?" Li Yiqi was surprised in his heart, but his face was silent.

Regarding some of the situations in the countries of the Western Regions, he was not very clear. But I also know that the land of the Western Regions is different from the Xia Dynasty, the human race is complex, the languages are even more diverse, and the lack of a unified system has led to great chaos in the entire Western Regions.

In a chaotic place, the powerful can become kings, gather all nations, and become the lord of a nation!

Those weak nations want to survive by either annexing to the stronger ones and joining each other's city-states, or waiting to be annexed.

And a small country like Loulan, which is 'stinky and hard', is really rare, and can quickly recover after being destroyed like Xiaoqiang, who can't be killed, either to cover up its own strength, or to have strong forces behind it.

"Bang bang—"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Ban Zhao's timid voice came: "Brother, I made some pastries and gave them to the guests' ......"

When the words fell, Ban Zhao pushed the door in with a jade plate, Ban Xing's face in the study suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and said in a condensed voice: "Didn't you let you go to the bedroom, why are you ......?"

"People are not sleepy now...... Ban Zhao glanced at his brother aggrievedly, and then showed a bright smile to Li Yiqi in the room, no longer having the same doubts and shyness as when he saw a stranger.

"Thank you, girl. Li Yiqi's eyes swept over the pastry and nodded slightly, which was considered a return gift.

However, at this moment, a mutation protruded-

At the door, Ban Zhao, who was still in good spirits, suddenly closed his eyes, and the whole person fell forward as if he had been suddenly knocked down, the jade plate in his hand fell to the ground, and the emerald green pastries were also scattered on the ground.

"Zhao'er!" Ban Xing was shocked, hurriedly squatted down, and hugged his sister in his arms.

Li Yiqi also stood up suddenly, walked to Ban Zhao's side in two steps, and exclaimed, "What happened?"

"It's okay, my little sister is asleep. Ban Xing looked struggling, and a wry smile was on his face.

"Sleep...... Asleep?!" Li Yiqi took two steps forward, looked fixedly, and his face suddenly became indescribably strange.

"Alas, later, I will carry my little sister back to the house. Ban Xing sighed, picked Ban Zhao up by the waist, and walked to the inner room.

After a while, Ban Xing went and returned, with a hint of tiredness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Let the prince see the smile." ”

"Sister Ling, this is ...... Are you sick?" Li Yiqi finally couldn't help but ask.

In this broad daylight, it is unreasonable to fall asleep without warning......

......Hearing this, Ban Xing suddenly fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

"If there is a hidden situation, the class brother will not say it, I just ask casually. Li Yiqi waved his hand.

"It's not a hidden secret...... Ban Xing's eyes showed a complicated look, and he said helplessly: "The little sister has been weak since she was a child, and there are twelve hours in a day, and the little sister has to sleep for six hours, and they all sleep for an hour and wake up for an hour, so the cycle is alternate......"

"What?!" Li Yiqi's eyes flashed, and his expression did not change much, but he was also shocked in his heart. Sleep for an hour, wake up for an hour, and then continue to sleep for another hour...... There are still such people in the world!

"No wonder Ban Xing said before, Ban Zhao stays at home all the year round, and he has such a physique. Li Yiqi was secretly frightened and asked, "Can you find a good doctor?"

"Nope. Ban Xing shook his head expressionlessly.

"As a member of the Ban family, can't you even find a way to seek a cure?" Li Yiqi frowned slightly. The Ban family, a famous place in the history of Great Xia, half of the Jiuqing family, is also ranked among the top among many princely families in Shangjing, although it is lonely now, but it is not comparable to ordinary families.

"My little sister and I have long been expelled from the family. There was a look of remembrance in Ban Xing's eyes. He glanced at Li Yiqi with a wry smile, and said flatly: "I hope that the prince will not spread this matter!"

"No, don't worry. Li Yiqi nodded. It seems that all this has been expected for a long time.
