Chapter 43 A Different World
Su Yanxiao took a deep breath and did not ask nonsense like "What if I don't go and take him?" He clenched his fists. He had never encountered such an embarrassing situation in his life, but he could only sigh. He said: "I..."
"I'll go on behalf of daddy!" Su Huaqing suddenly interrupted at this moment.
Lu Qingshan frowned and was about to refuse, but Su Huaqing seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and explained: "In terms of martial arts, I am not as good as dad, but in terms of my mastery of Runling Taoism, I am No one in the entire Yan Bing sect can defeat me."
"Oh?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and looked at Su Yanxiao and asked: "Is what she said the truth?"
Su Yanxiao was silent for a moment and did not immediately answer Lu Qingshan's words.
This performance made Lu Qingshan immediately understand the authenticity of what Su Huaqing said.
"If you hadn't told me earlier, you would have saved yourself a trip to the mountain," he said gloomily, and then added, "Then just come with me."
Lu Qingshan did his work neatly and immediately turned around to go down the mountain, but he didn't expect Su Yanxiao's voice to come from behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
Lu Qingshan looked back and saw that Su Yanxiao's long sword had been unsheathed.
Su Huaqing suddenly panicked and wanted to stop him: "Dad, I'm just going to Qin State, just like going out to see the world, nothing will happen..."
"They say that you, Lu Qingshan, have unparalleled martial arts skills. Of course I believe it. After all, you are the one who compiled such a unique sword manual as "Qingshan Sword Technique".
But what you are taking away today is my daughter, my only daughter..."
Su Yanxiao tried hard to stay calm, but what was hidden beneath her calmness was deep anger, "If I don't do anything, wouldn't I be a father in vain?"
"Su just wants to see the general's sword skills!" Su Yanxiao said.
This is the stubbornness of a father.
Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "Okay."
"General Lu, draw your sword." Su Yanxiao's sword pointed directly at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan shook his head, "There is no need to draw a sword in this kind of situation."
Su Yanxiao felt her face burning.
Even though Lu Qingshan is famous, he looks very young on the outside. He is not over 30, but a man in his fifties is treated like this by a junior...
Could it be that all the martial arts training you have practiced for decades has been transferred to dogs?
Whoosh whoosh!
With sulkiness, Su Yanxiao finally drew her sword. The long sword was as cold as ice and the light of the sword was like snow.
Yan Bingmen's secret skill, "Ice and Snow Sword Technique".
A very tacky name.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and stared at Su Yanxiao through the bright sword light.
The sword power spreads like a tide.
There was a clang, and Su Yanxiao's vision went dark. When she came to her senses, the sword in her hand had fallen off and fell to the floor with a crisp sound.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, unable to understand what Lu Qingshan had just done.
In just the blink of an eye, Su Yanxiao was completely defeated.
Is this the devil Lu Qingshan?
"Tao method?" Su Yanxiao looked at Lu Qingshan in despair and asked.
"No," Lu Qingshan shook his head, without further explanation, turned around again, "Let's go."
"Dad..." Su Huaqing looked at Su Yanxiao worriedly, fearing that his father would be shocked and do something irrational.
Su Yanxiao's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she waved her hand, "Let's go, the world is so big, it's okay to go out and have a look, stay in the mountains all the time, just like me, I have become a frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
After saying this, Su Yanxiao turned away to hide the loneliness on her face.
Su Huaqing looked at his father's hunched back, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and couldn't help but lower his head sadly, with tears streaming down his face.
.........
After descending the snowy mountain and putting Su Huaqing on the carriage bound for Qin, Lu Qingshan headed towards the next goal.
Since a year ago, he has stopped leading troops in war.
One is because the Qingshan Army has become a force, the other is that Gu Tianyan is fully capable of taking charge on his own, and the third is that he has more important things to do.
There are more important things than unifying the world.
Save Qin Yitian.
The price of performing the first method is that the power in the essence and blood will be drained out by the dragon bird, and it will die on the spot. This is the outcome that Qin Yitian's ancestors verified with their own lives.
Lu Qingshan must find a way to reverse all this.
Ordinary medical skills are naturally unlikely to be effective.
The trouble should end it.
This backlash comes from Taoism.
In this case, the only way to solve this problem is to start with Taoism.
So Lu Qingshan left Qin State and traveled around the world, looking for people with healing methods. He would rather have them than lack them and bring them back to Qin State, thinking that even if he tried his luck, he would still find a solution.
Most of these people who possess healing methods are of noble status, some are children of aristocratic families, some are direct descendants of sects, and even have the blood of a royal family, but in front of Lu Qingshan, there is not much difference.
.........
The alarm bells of the thousand-year-old Great Mercy Temple were ringing. One hundred and eight monks held sticks and formed an Arhat formation. Lu Qingshan strolled through it and took away the little boy who was called the reincarnation of Arhat and possessed the Taoist teachings of Purdue. Holy monk.
The scenery of the Northern Kingdom, thousands of miles of snow falling, Lu Qingshan entered the imperial city alone, and all living beings were equal under a single sword. The city was full of elite soldiers, but no one dared to speak. From then on, there was no more genius doctor in the Northern Kingdom.
Although he did not lead troops to fight, Lu Qingshan left behind more legends than before.
What he did has spread throughout the world.
There is no one in the Daoyuan world who does not know his name.
When he walked around the Daoyuan world and prepared to return to Qincheng, it was already two years later.
Along the way north, most of the places they passed were already the territory of the Qin State. Wherever they went, whether they were children at the end of the village or old people at the end of the village, they were all practicing Qingshan Sword Technique.
This is a different time.
When he returned to Qincheng, everyone in the city had already received the news that the general had returned and lined the streets to welcome him.
Yes, Lu Qingshan’s title of general has an extra big character.
It was not sealed by Qin Yitian, but was added voluntarily by the common people.
Because of Lu Qingshan's existence, Qin became the most powerful country in the Taoyuan world.
Because of him, everyone can practice martial arts, and everyone has the opportunity to build a bright future.
The most important thing is that because of him, the people lived a good life that they had never dared to imagine before.
At the gate of the city, Her Royal Highness Princess Qin Yitian personally welcomed the return of General Lu Qingshan.
"General, you have worked hard these days." Qin Yitian looked at Lu Qingshan with a smile.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand, "I don't know if any of the people I brought back are useful."
"It's a surprise if it's useful, it's normal if it's useless. I've been mentally prepared for it." Qin Yitian was calm and optimistic about life and death.
"You are mentally prepared, but I am not." Lu Qingshan said.
Qin Yitian was startled, but Lu Qingshan had already changed the topic and asked casually: "How is the construction of Qin State?"
“According to your idea, after the craftsmen create those things called machines, everything is on track.
Coupled with the assets accumulated by various families over the years, the compulsory education you mentioned has been completely popularized, and swordsmanship has been set as a compulsory course.
But there is still a big shortfall in the money needed to build roads..."
Her eyes moved, and she said softly: "The road runs through the entire Taoyuan Realm. Such a large-scale effort was something that no one else would have dared to imagine before. Even with Qin's current national power, it would be a century-old undertaking."
"There is no rush for this matter," Lu Qingshan said, "But it must be done."
…
"It turns out that she is so beautiful. He must like her very much to travel around the world to seek medical treatment for her."
Su Huaqing was also mixed in the welcoming crowd, looking at Lu Qingshan, whom he had not seen since leaving the snowy mountains, and Qin Yitian, who had only heard of his name but never seen his face since arriving in Qincheng, and thought secretly in his heart.
For those of them who possessed the healing power and were "captured" by Lu Qingshan to the Qin State, their freedom was actually not subject to too many restrictions. The only restriction was that they could not leave Qin City.
"Only a woman like this can be worthy of a man like this." Su Huaqing said again, looking at the two people who were talking very harmoniously.
But somehow, a faint and extremely obscure feeling of loss and inferiority arose in his heart.
...
Royal study room.
Qin Yitian and Lu Qingshan finished describing the current situation of Qin State in detail.
The Qin State implemented reform and opening up, and it only took more than six years for the slaves to be liberated. Half of the huge Taoyuan World already belonged to the Qin State.
This kind of speed has been something no one has dared to imagine before, and it will be difficult to happen again in the future.
This is a miracle.
Why did the Qingshan Army expand its territory so quickly?
Returning to its roots cannot be separated from the four words "returning to the heart of the world".
Rulers expand territories in order to make their country strong.
Lu Qingshan expanded his territory to make the human race stronger.
That's the difference.
Therefore, the series of policies adopted by the Qin State after the reform were seen by outsiders as practices that were not beneficial to the country and benefited the people.
But those rulers did not understand a simple but powerful truth.
The foundation of a country is its people.
When the people are strong, the country will naturally be strong.
It was precisely because of the return of the world that the resistance the Qingshan Army encountered was extremely weak.
As long as they defeat the first batch of armies organized by various countries, it will be basically impossible for subsequent monarchs to organize a second batch of armies.
Even during the process of attacking cities and plundering territory, many cities opened their gates directly to welcome the arrival of the Qingshan Army.
This is exactly what Lu Qingshan wants to see.
Otherwise, although it would be easy to dominate the world by force, it would inevitably lead to massacres and devastation, which would be completely contrary to his idea of forcing the human race to fight against the White Walkers.
........
…………
It’s that good time of year again.
Outside Qincheng, on a cargo truck, a young man sat on top of the cargo and looked around curiously.
The avenue, which is wide enough to accommodate eight horses traveling together, is artificially divided into two sides, separated by two yellow lines in the middle. Vehicles in both directions go on each side without interfering with each other and in an orderly manner.
"Look at you looking like this. Is this your first time in Qincheng?" The coachman said while controlling the horse pulling goods: "You have never seen such a big road."
The young man nodded, "I've never seen it before. Although the road has been built over my house, it can't be so spacious."
"Your road is called a two-lane road, and our road is called an eight-lane road. Of course, there is a big difference." The coachman said, with pride in his tone.
"Eight lanes...?"
"It was named after the general," the coachman said.
The young man showed his original expression, with yearning flashing in his eyes.
Although the driver did not mention his name, everyone in the Taoyuan world knew that there were many generals, but there was only one great general.
"What do young people come to Qincheng for?" the coachman asked again.
The young man took out a neatly folded paper roll from his arms, "I saw the recruitment registration from the People's Daily. It said that the general is preparing to lead the army to completely exterminate the White Walkers in recent years. We need to recruit a group of people." After a batch of high-quality soldiers were enlisted, I hurriedly came from my hometown."
"Hey, young man is quite confident," the coachman raised his eyebrows, "How far have you learned Qingshan Swordsmanship?"
"I've learned six." The young man said with a proud expression on his face.
"That's indeed good," the coachman was a little surprised. "Even in Qincheng, people who can master Qingshan Sword Technique to the sixth level are extremely rare."
The young man puffed up his chest and said, "In my village, I am the most talented in swordsmanship. It was the teacher who taught me swordsmanship who asked me to join the army and serve the country."
"It's good to join the army. If one person joins the army, the whole family will be honored..." the coachman said with a smile.
At this moment, the young man suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind.
He turned around and saw a truck driving rapidly from the leftmost lane. The driver was wearing a black suit. He had a tall figure and a long breath. He looked like he was a practitioner.
The truck was extremely fast and disappeared from the young man's sight in a short while.
"There must be something urgent. Driving so fast, I'm not afraid of anything happening." He couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"It's not something urgent," the coachman said with a strange expression that you rarely see, "That's a courier who specializes in delivering goods. "Qintong Express can reach the surrounding cities of Qincheng within one day."
Moreover, they are on a special express lane and do not interfere with us. "
The young man was speechless.
Although the world is now unified, writing, weights and measures, laws, etc. have long been unified.
But Qin City, as the capital of the Qin Kingdom and the most prosperous city in the Daoyuan Realm, still has many things that cannot be seen in other places, which makes him feel like Grandma Liu entering the Garden.
As the truck continues to move forward, the scenery on the roadside changes.
Things like half tree trunks surrounded by curtains one after another "lying" on the plains on both sides of the road. From time to time, I saw someone coming out from inside carrying a basket of green vegetables, which made the young man stare straight. .
"What is that? A warehouse? Why are there still fresh vegetables in this season?"
"Greenhouse planting," the driver said casually, "You don't know what it is, do you? I don't understand either.
This has just appeared in the past year or two. You only need to know that since the emergence of this thing, the people of Qincheng can buy fresh vegetables at any time. "
As he spoke, the coachman picked up the wine bag he carried and took a sip, and said happily: "These days are getting better and better. Children born now can't imagine what kind of life we lived more than ten years ago!"
We didn't even have enough to eat at that time, unlike you who don't have to worry about food now, and you still have books to read, and martial arts..."
"It's all thanks to the great general!"
The young man felt that the coachman who kept chattering and lamenting now was a bit like his nagging old father.
Another half hour passed.
The outline of the majestic Qin City can already be seen.
The young man noticed that there seemed to be a strange black shadow in the sky above the outline of Qin City.
"What is that?" he wondered.
After a while, he got closer to Qincheng, and he finally saw the true face of the strange black shadow.
"Oh my God!" Even though he had seen many incredible things along the way, this was the first time he lost his composure and exclaimed.
Two spherical objects of astonishing size floated in the air, with a basket hanging below each. However, the basket was extremely huge and could hold several people.
What is striking is that there is a long red canvas hanging at the bottom of the basket, with several large characters written on the cloth strip.
On the left is - "Recruit high-quality soldiers to consolidate Qin's iron city."
On the right is - "Qincheng welcomes you!"
