Chapter 41 Uninvited Guest

Wuyang State is a neighboring country of Qin State.

This year, the territory of Wuyang Kingdom was not peaceful, and there were sudden disturbances, which could even be said to be extremely bad.

The root of everything naturally comes from Qin.

Two years ago, civil strife broke out in Qin State. Wuyang State borders Qin State, so the news was received quickly.

At that time, the king of Wuyang Kingdom was still watching the excitement, thinking that his neighbor would probably have a headache even if he was a member of the Nine Great Kingdoms.

Who would have thought that things would develop far beyond his expectations.

The civil strife was quickly put down, and the hidden dangers of aristocratic families created by enfeoffment and turning into cancer were also eliminated - the Qin State was truly unified.

And the person who did all this turned out to be a newly appointed general protecting the country by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin.

If that's all, it's nothing.

The problem is that the general who protected the country actually overthrew the family rule by abolishing slavery and then using slaves as an army.

In addition, after unifying the Qin State, the protecting general joined forces with the Qin Princess to make a series of amazing moves.

Including but not limited to practicing martial arts for all, distributing land to the people, setting up free private schools, improving the status of craftsmen, changing laws...

These policies seem to be only implemented within the territory of Qin, but their impact goes far beyond the territory of Qin.

Not to mention anything else, during this period of time, there were frequent slave riots in their Wuyang country and they fled to Qin.

In addition, many big businessmen went to Qin with their family properties.

Because there, there is a complete set of laws to protect merchants. In Qin, merchants have a higher status than other places.

There are even many people on the border who quietly enter the Qin State through the border - who doesn't know that the people in the Qin State can own their own land?

It’s all about farming, but where is farming not farming?

In the Wuyang State, the land was cultivated for the landlords, but in the Qin State, the land was cultivated for oneself.

Even though the King of Wuyang responded quickly by strengthening the border and treating those who left the country as treason, some gaps could not be closed, and the decline of Wuyang's national power had become an unchangeable trend.

——Before Qin State took action against Wuyang State, Wuyang State was already in crisis because of Qin State.

What does it mean to subdue others without fighting?

That's it.

.......

The clouds are thick and the thunder is rolling.

Since a year ago, God seems to be angry. Half of the time there is thunder and no end.

According to common people, even the most stingy girl should stop being angry after being angry for so long.

Why is it that this God is more effeminate than pussies to no end?

In the royal study.

Lu Qingshan stood by the window, staring at the electric snakes that flashed from time to time in the gloomy sky outside the window.

Qin Yitian sat at the desk beside him with his chin in his hands, looking at Lu Qingshan intently.

On the desk are neatly arranged memorials and books.

"It has been half a month since you last met the King of White Walkers, and there is still no unusual movement in Tiecheng." Qin Yitian said softly.

Half a month ago, Lu Qingshan committed suicide for the first time.

Lu Qingshan remained silent, looking at the endless sky, and a sudden realization flashed through his heart:

It turns out that you are also subject to many rules?

It turns out that the lightning and thunder this year was just your unwilling but powerless roar?

"Get ready to take action," Lu Qingshan suddenly said: "Qin already has that strength."

A year's time is neither long nor short, but the Qin State has become completely new.

Moreover, the potential is endless.

Qin still has a lot of room for growth.

But Lu Qingshan was not going to wait for it to grow up and bear fruit on its own, but was going to fertilize it.

"Will the general lead the troops in person this time?" Qin Yitian asked.

"Of course, if you don't move, let alone the sword, the bones will rust." Lu Qingshan picked up the dragon bird, strode out, pushed the door open, and disappeared into the bright lights.

…………

The changes in the Qin State were by no means the result of Lu Qingshan’s efforts alone.

In fact, Lu Qingshan only had ideas and advanced ideas, but he had no idea how to put them into practice.

Those things cannot be learned without being nurtured and exposed from childhood to adulthood.

So all this depends on Qin Yitian.

Qin Yitian was the princess who was passed down by word of mouth among the people of Qin before Lu Qingshan appeared, and there was no doubt about her ability to govern the country.

With her ice-snow intelligence, she can always quickly digest the ideas expressed by Lu Qingshan, and then formulate corresponding policies based on the actual national conditions of Qin.

The combination of the two created the Qin State today.

It's just the difference in division of labor that has caused Qin Yitian to be busy day and night dealing with government affairs this year, while Lu Qingshan has been very free.

Except for occasionally watching the Qingshan Army's martial arts exercises, he spent most of his time doing nothing.

Sword cultivators can never be idle.

In that case, let's go out and have some fun.

...

Time flies, spring goes to autumn, summer goes to winter, and back and forth.

In recent years, the Daoyuan world has ushered in a "big earthquake".

Qin, one of the nine great kingdoms, risked the disapproval of the world and launched an aggressive war against its neighboring country Wuyang, despite the presence of strange ghosts outside.

Blitzkrieg.

Before everyone could fully react, the battle between the two countries only lasted less than three days. Wuyang was defeated day by day, and the king finally chose to surrender.

The Qin State is stronger than the Wuyang State. No one will be surprised or doubt this.

But how could the gap be so big that Wuyang Kingdom couldn't survive even three days?

All countries cannot understand.

No matter how hard it is to understand, it has become an established fact that Wuyang State was annexed by Qin State, and the exploration process does not make much sense.

The various countries immediately united to rebuke Qin and put pressure on Qin - how could we provoke internal strife in the face of foreign aggression?

Not wanting the Qin State to go its own way and turning a deaf ear to the rebuke from other countries, after taking over the Wuyang State, in less than three days of recuperation, the Qingshan Army's sword pointed at the next country.

In Wuyang, the slaves who had just been liberated and absorbed by the Qingshan Army had already begun to practice "Qingshan Sword Technique II".

It is conceivable that if this continues, once it expands to a certain point, the Qingshan Army will form an endless cycle. How many people are sacrificed in the front, how many new soldiers can be replaced in the rear.

In fact, according to common sense, annexing a country is not a simple matter.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to sit on it.

It takes a long process to digest a country's resources.

Differences in culture, the instinctive rejection of invaders by the people of the country, the treatment of nobles, the dismissal and appointment of officials... and so on, are all numerous and extremely complicated.

But this truth does not hold true for Qin.

Exclusion? The people of Wuyang Kingdom actually longed for the arrival of the Qingshan Army.

Disposal of nobles? Just ransack all their homes.

"I can't wait to digest it slowly. Let's digest it while fighting. I am responsible for expanding the territory and you are responsible for stabilizing the rule." This is what Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian said.

They both performed their duties well.

In just two months, Qin conquered all seven neighboring countries.

Although they are all small countries, they are still at an extremely frightening speed.

It was so frightening that the other eight great kingdoms couldn't bear it. They threatened that if Qin continued to be so unscrupulous and disregarded the common interests of the human race, they would abandon their responsibilities and retreat directly from Iron City.

Since your Qin State doesn't care about the overall situation, it's a big deal that everyone can finish it together.

If you have the guts, use your country's power to stop the White Walkers. Otherwise, if the Iron City is destroyed, what's the use of Qin even if it annexes many countries?

It seemed that this threat had frightened the Qin State, and the overwhelming Qingshan Army finally went dormant and stopped making any moves.

The peaceful days lasted less than a year.

The Qingshan Army dispatched again.

This time, they divided their forces into two groups, one aiming at neighboring countries and the other heading towards Iron City.

This meaning is already very clear.

Our country of Qin really has the ability to defend the White Walkers as a country. If you want to defend this iron city, you can defend it. If you don't, you can leave.

........

Snow Country.

This is a small country in the south. Its geographical location is very far away from the northern border, so the White Walkers and the Kingdom of Qin are also very far away for them.

Although the Qingshan Army has not yet attacked, the reputation of the Protector General Lu Qingshan and the "Qingshan Sword Technique II" which contains the secrets of the supreme swordsmanship have already spread.

All over the Snow Country, whether they are villagers or martial arts masters, as long as they read the sword manual carefully, they will be amazed by the swordsmanship in it.

Then, I marveled at such wonderful martial arts, how could anyone be willing to make it public?

It is said that in the Qin State, Lu Qingshan, the miraculous general who protected the country, had compiled "Qingshan Sword Technique III" and spread it throughout the country.

Anyone who has mastered "Qingshan Sword Technique II" can immediately and seamlessly transition to "Qingshan Sword Technique III".

No one can understand the thoughts of the general who protects the country of Qin.

To this world, Lu Qingshan is an alternative.

…………

In the Snow Country, a towering snow peak stands, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow.

An extremely clean and clear mountain river hangs down from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, like a long silvery silk dress dropped by a goddess to the world.

This is the most powerful sect in the Snow Country, the Yan Bing Sect.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a small town.

The town is not particularly big, but it has a lot of people.

Boom!

Thunder was rolling in the sky, and dark clouds were rolling all over the sky.

The "wrath of heaven" has not subsided with the passage of time, and has even become more and more serious.

It was the middle of winter, and after a while, heavy snow fell.

The largest inn in the small town was called "Andu", and a fire was lit in the hall to cope with the weather.

At this time, the door of the inn was pushed open, and the cold wind poured in instantly, causing the fire to alternately grow and dim.

Then several figures walked in.

All of them are women, and their faces are covered with a veil.

The leader is dressed in white, tall and graceful, and his exposed eyes are extremely smart.

There were already many people in the inn, eating meat and drinking wine around the stove. When they suddenly saw such women entering the inn, their eyes lit up, and then they lowered their heads when they saw the dress of the visitor.

The shopkeeper, who was originally sitting behind the counter taking stock, immediately put down what he was doing when he saw the person coming and stood up to greet him, "Su Nuxia, why are you here? It's windy and snowy outside, come in quickly and warm yourself up."

Su Huaqing nodded slightly, "That would be troublesome."

The waiters hurriedly came over to pull out chairs and wipe tables, and were very attentive. The guests who were originally speaking loudly also lowered their voices subconsciously.

Su Huaqing and the woman behind her were not surprised by the behavior of these people.

They are disciples of the Yan Bing Sect, and Su Huaqing is the biological daughter of the master of the Yan Bing Sect.

This small town belongs to Yan Bingmen, and it is normal for the people in the city not to dare to speak loudly when they see them.

The shopkeeper personally brought good tea and a pot of steaming mutton, and said with some embarrassment: "Nvxia Su, you came unexpectedly. I was not prepared. There is only one room left."

Su Huaqing waved his hand, "The shopkeeper is polite, someone in the town was injured, and the sect asked me to take people down the mountain to treat the injuries of the people.

When the matter was over, I was originally planning to go back to the mountain directly, but it happened to be snowing heavily and the mountain road was difficult to walk. I could only rest for a while at the shopkeeper's place and wait for the snow to lighten up, without staying overnight. "

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Nvxia Su has wonderful hands and a benevolent heart, Yan Bingmen has wonderful hands and benevolent heart!"

We are lucky to have the protection of Yan Bingmen. It would be great if there were more sects like Yan Bingmen in the world who care about us common people! "

The Yan Bing Sect is a very special sect. Although it is a martial arts sect, the most famous thing is not their unique skills, but their Taoism.

Runling Taoism, a magical Taoism that has the power of "life and death, flesh and white bones".

Disciples of the Yan Bing Sect did not waste their magical skills. They often went down the mountain to treat injured people, so they had a high reputation.

However, when Su Huaqing heard this compliment that sounded very ordinary in the past, Su Huaqing's chopsticks to pick up the mutton suddenly stopped and his face froze.

Would it be nice if there were more sects in the world like Yan Bingmen who care about the common people?

No need, now there is an extra Qin State and an extra Qingshan Army.

When it comes to caring about the common people, who can compare to the Qin State today?

As for how many more sects there are?

In a few years, perhaps even their Yan Bingmen will disappear.

The Qingshan Army has not yet reached the southern border, and it has not had much impact on the Snow Country.

However, the existence of "Qingshan Sword Technique II" and its spread throughout the entire Taoyuan world would be a disaster for all sects.

No sect can avoid it.

She remembered that after her father read "Qingshan Sword Technique II", he put down the sword manual and sighed, "Let alone our Yan Bing Sect's secret skill, I am afraid that none of the secret skills of any sect in the world can surpass this sword manual." of."

The secret knowledge of each major sect has always been taught to only a handful of people.

But "Qingshan Sword Technique" is such a broad and profound martial arts that everyone can obtain, so who would want to join the sect?

As time goes by, the inheritance of each major sect will naturally be cut off.

Yan Bingmen is home to Su Huaqing.

Now that her "home" has encountered such a major crisis, her mood has become heavy.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves,

call!

A gust of cold wind rushed in from the door, making people shiver.

It turned out that the door of the inn was pushed open again at this time.

In the cold wind and snow, a tall figure suddenly broke in.

Su Huaqing looked up subconsciously.

The sky was gloomy, and the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly for a while, but he could only see a pair of eyes that were shining brightly and with a heroic spirit.

"Shopkeeper, is this where Yan Bingmen is?"

The visitor asked loudly, his voice clear and cold.
