Chapter 16 Eyes Kill

"Put your hopes on me?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, already understanding in his heart.

So, is this the "clearance condition"?

He fights the demons in the Cangqiongtian and is determined to drive the demons out of the human realm. Although this place is not as high as the Cangqiongtian, there are still invasions from foreign enemies.

Even though he was trapped in the reverse flow of time and his magic power was blocked, Lu Qingshan's fighting spirit became high at this moment.

"I alone can't drive out the White Walkers," he said.

"You still have the dragon bird." Qin Yitian said.

"Those who hold the dragon bird are the generals who protect the country of Qin and can gain military power."

"General Pingnan is in charge of the military power of the Qin State. Even if you have the Dragon Bird Sword, it is extremely difficult to obtain military power from him.

In this case, I will give you my dragon and phoenix guards. "

Qin Yitian thought for a moment, reached into his arms, took out a tiger charm made of gold and handed it to Lu Qingshan, "The Dragon and Phoenix Guards are elite soldiers. Even compared to General Pingnan's Pingnan Army, apart from their insufficient resume, Other than that, there is not much difference in other aspects.”

"The Dragon and Phoenix Guards are your personal soldiers. If you give them to me, what will you do?" Lu Qingshan frowned as he looked at the tiger talisman in his hand.

"You don't have to worry about this. The safety of this palace can still be guaranteed within Qin City." Qin Yitian said calmly.

"Although I am in charge of the Qin State, the military power has always been in the hands of General Pingnan. I can't help you much. If it's not enough, I will think of other ways."

Although Qin Yitian downplayed it, how could Lu Qingshan not understand how much trust and reliance the princess had given her personal soldiers to him, and what was going on behind the so-called "think about other ways" pay.

How can a general hand over his military power without a sufficient price? Even if it's just a part...

"Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you." Qin Yitian finally said.

"Did His Highness really not know me before?" Lu Qingshan asked.

If Qin Yitian was still his Sword Spirit Girl, it would not be surprising to do this. But at this time, Qin Yitian was clearly the Princess of Qin, but she treated him like this. Lu Qingshan couldn't understand it.

Nothing in the world is good without reason.

"I don't know," Qin Yitian shook his head and looked at Lu Qingshan with a complicated expression, "I know what you are thinking. I can't answer your questions now, but I can say that you will eventually know the answer in the future."

"Also, if you always called me Yitian before, just continue to call me Yitian now."

Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

He cupped his hands and bowed, then took the tiger talisman and left, filled with complexities and thoughts.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's leaving figure, Qin Yitian's originally rosy complexion suddenly became pale.

She paused for a while, then suddenly walked out of the Jinluan Palace and looked up at the sky.

Snowflakes were falling in large torrents.

It’s the end of another year.

This year has not been easy.

On the Snow Ridge Front, the number of White Walkers is increasing, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with them.

Within the Qin State, she was originally her staunchest supporter, but there was a gap between her and her because of the Dragon Bird Sword.

The war that lasted for thirty years caused most of the money in the national treasury to flow to the front line. In addition, young and middle-aged people were fighting on the front line, and no one was working in the fields. As the so-called military war was going on, the national treasury had already been unable to make ends meet.

The crisis is expanding silently.

The war on the front line, Qin's internal affairs, and General Pingnan's request for a sword all required her to concentrate on facing them.

Qin Yitian stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake.

"Lu Qingshan... Although I don't know how capable you are... but since you are... you must be the last hope of the Taoyuan world... ." Qin Yitian murmured, his voice getting lower as he went.

...........

Five days later.

School grounds.

All the generals gathered together, and the dragon and phoenix guards lined up in order.

Qin Yitian stood on the high platform in the center of the venue, with the two commanders of the Dragon and Phoenix Guards on his left and right.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan rushed over, stood in front of Qin Yitian, and cupped his fists.

Qin Yitian asked: "Why are you here so late?"

Lu Qingshan explained: "I was reading the sword manual in the storage room just now, but the time was just right, so there was no delay."

Qin Yitian nodded and asked no more questions.

Ever since she gave Lu Qingshan anything she wanted that day, the first request Lu Qingshan made was to enter the storage room.

The so-called Tibetan Room is actually the royal sutra-storage pavilion.

In addition to various classics, there are also countless martial arts secrets, including a dazzling array of sword manuals.

Among the nine great states, Qin is the only one without Taoism. It ensures the strength of the country with the martial culture of its people.

When it comes to martial arts alone, it is the leader of the Nine Kingdoms.

Therefore, the quantity and quality of sword manuals are also extremely high.

Based on Lu Qingshan's understanding of swordsmanship, these mundane sword manuals are like playing house to him.

He only needs to read it to understand the sword moves in every sword manual.

Although these crude sword moves did not help much with his swordsmanship, they could help Lu Qingshan understand the martial arts of this world.

...

Qin Yitian let him off lightly, but he was noticed by a group of generals and dragon and phoenix guards.

Everyone has some inexplicable emotions in their hearts.

Their eyes fell on the sword sheath on the young man's waist.

Dragon Bird, Zhenguo Sword.

Everyone has heard that five days ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess gave the Qin State's Zhenguo Sword to a foreigner in the court hall.

According to Qin's rules, this foreigner is the general who protects the country.

And they also heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess also handed over the Dragon and Phoenix Guards to this stranger and asked him to lead the expedition to the Snow Ridge.

This time it was the general worship ceremony.

For this reason, Her Royal Highness the Princess fasted for many days, chose an auspicious day, and built a platform to worship the generals.

However, this person came later than His Highness and was almost late.

Is this putting on airs?

The generals frowned secretly, while the Dragon and Phoenix Guards soldiers felt dissatisfied in their hearts.

"Okay, let's start now." Qin Yitian said.

There is a eunuch holding a yue.

Qin Yitian took the yue, then took the head of the yue and handed the handle to Lu Qingshan.

"I give you a word of command. From now on, those who ascend to heaven will be controlled by the general."

This is authorization, clearly giving the general the power of life and death.

But to everyone's surprise, the authorization ceremony ended there.

Normally, Qin Yitian should take back the ax, hold the handle of the ax in his hand, hand the blade to Lu Qingshan, and at the same time dictate "Whoever goes down to the abyss from now on, the general will control it", warning the general to respect himself.

The meaning of Qin Yitian's simplified general-making ceremony is also very simple - fully trust Lu Qingshan, grant him full power, and not interfere with the command of the army.

Afterwards, Qin Yitian praised Lu Qingshan's moral character in front of everyone.

Lu Qingshan could not help but murmur.

Some of the points Qin Yitian praised were things he himself had never heard of, let alone knew he had, and didn't know how Qin Yitian compiled them.

He was thinking secretly when he saw silence around him.

Lu Qingshan came to his senses.

I found that everyone was looking at one place in surprise.

He looked along.

It turned out that at some point, General Pingnan and several generals appeared outside the gate of the school grounds on horseback. He crossed his arms and looked into the school grounds.

Seeing that everyone looked very calm, he rode in with the generals and finally stopped in front of the general worship platform, turned over and dismounted.

"Is there something wrong with General Pingnan?" Qin Yitian frowned.

"I heard that His Highness is going to hold a general worship ceremony here today. I was worried and came here to have a look." General Pingnan said.

"What are you worried about, General Pingnan?"

General Pingnan looked at Lu Qingshan and said bluntly: "A foreigner, a swordsman who has never shown any skills, should he be in charge of the sword of the Qin Kingdom? Should he be in charge of the Dragon and Phoenix Guards?"

"I'm afraid that Your Highness will look at the wrong person and ruin these talented people."

As soon as General Pingnan said these words, there was a sudden commotion in the Dragon and Phoenix Guards.

They are the princess's personal soldiers, so they dare not disobey the princess, but it is impossible to say that they have no objection to the princess's inexplicable move.

So even though he knew that General Pingnan was looking for trouble with Her Royal Highness, and as a personal soldier of Her Royal Highness, he should be facing the Princess, he still subconsciously agreed with General Pingnan's words.

Lu Qingshan looked at Qin Yitian.

Qin Yitian remained silent.

This was an opportunity for Lu Qingshan to establish his authority.

Lu Qingshan coughed lightly, stood on the stage of general worship, condescendingly said in a calm and slow voice: "According to the laws of the Qin State, such an important ceremony of general worship must not be violated at will. Even if you, General Pingnan, have a high position, Don’t go beyond the rules.”

General Pingnan's expression remained unchanged, "Of course I don't dare to interfere with the general ceremony, but isn't it over now?"

The general worship ceremony has come to an end at this time. In the end, it is just some finishing processes. It is true that it is not over yet, but it is okay to say it is over.

Since General Pingnan insisted on this, it would be too petty to argue on such a trivial matter. Lu Qingshan acquiesced to his statement and asked instead: "What does the general mean?"

"The Dragon and Phoenix Guards are His Highness's personal soldiers. I should not meddle in others' business, but the Dragon and Phoenix Guards are all good men of our Qin State. As a general of the Qin State, I cannot bear to see them being led by a mediocre general. Losing your life in vain..."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a burly and strong man behind him came out, clasped his fists at Lu Qingshan and said: "Long Lu Qingshan, I am Li Ze, the general under the command of General Pingnan, and I challenge you today. , do you dare......"

Lu Qingshan smiled and glanced at him.

The strong man felt an unspeakable pain in his mind, and then his vision went dark and he fell backwards.
