Take a look at the hometown of Xi Shi. Playability: You can learn about the history of the Wu-Yue rivalry during that period. Through the life of Xi Shi, you can see the stories in that part of history. Xi Shi's real name was Shi Yiguang, and 'Xi' is a directional word, describing the location where she lived. Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were close friends, growing up together, known as the 'Two Beauties of Washing Silk'. When Fan Li was searching for beauties for the King of Yue, he chose Xi Shi, who also recommended her good friend Zheng Dan. What was thought to be a good thing turned out to be the demise of Zheng Dan. After being trained by the King of Yue, both were sent to King Fuchai of Wu. Unfortunately, Zheng Dan's charm was not as great as Xi Shi's, and not being favored by King Fuchai, she died of jealousy and sorrow. King Fuchai truly loved Xi Shi, giving her whatever she desired. He would even pluck stars from the sky for her. For a smile from the beauty, King Fuchai built various projects, not knowing that giving does not necessarily mean receiving in return. While he was enjoying peace and prosperity, others were sharpening their knives. At this time, the King of Yue was 'sleeping on sticks and tasting gall', quietly waiting for the moment of revenge. When the King of Yue finally achieved fame and success, it was also the time for 'the hare to be cooked and the hounds to be put away'. Fan Li knew well that the King of Yue could only share adversity, not wealth. Taking advantage of the King of Yue's lack of reaction, he secretly took Xi Shi and sailed on West Lake, hiding in the rivers and lakes, no longer involving himself in court affairs. When the King of Yue searched for Xi Shi and Fan Li to no avail, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, not knowing whom to kill to vent his anger. With the beauty gone, there was no one to take over. That damned Fan Li. Parking: There are not many parking spaces at Xi Shi's hometown parking lot, but there are quite a few on the road.
