Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 132 Fragrance
Three days later, in Shengtian Outer City, Taoyuan Restaurant.

Wearing a thin veil, Qian Hong still wore a gorgeous red dress, and her graceful figure was very eye-catching.

It was just the sword hanging from this woman's bumpy waist and her cold eyes that dissuaded many men with ideas.

Li Qing, who was sitting in the corner, naturally noticed Qian Hong coming towards him for the first time.

For a moment, Li Qing had a headache. This girl really didn't know what it meant to be low-key. She even made trouble under the eyes of others, and she even dressed so hotly. She was afraid that she wouldn't be in trouble enough, right?

"Commander Qian, if I had known you were so eye-catching, I would have arranged to meet you somewhere else." Li Qing joked.

When Qian Hong heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Li Qing, feeling quite charming.

She is about three years older than Li Qing, and is now 28-[-] years old. The mature charm brought by the years has also begun to be reflected in this heroine, like a mature heart. As charming as a peach.

"Master Li, just tell me straight. You asked me to meet here today. What exactly do you want to give me?"

As Qian Hong sat down, Li Qing also smelled her faint fragrance, which was more intoxicating than the fine wine on the table.

Li Qing took a sip, then took out a token embroidered with purple lotus flowers from his body, and threw it on the table nonchalantly.

The first time she saw the token, Qian Hong's eyes widened with a thin veil on her face. She almost subconsciously put the token into her arms.

"This is... the Lotus Order, how could you have it?" Qian Hong lowered his voice as low as possible and asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

It seems that this thing is indeed the Order of the Lotus. Li Qing confirmed this and said casually: "I got it accidentally when I was training in Qingzhou. It is of no use to me."

“Instead of letting it gather dust in my hands, it’s better to let it play its due role.”

After saying that, Li Qing still muttered in his heart that the girl Shen Lianyi gave it to him at that time. If he wanted to sell money, he should go to her with the token.

In other words, apart from being able to sell rice buckets at a good price, this token has no effect in your own hands. It would be great to be a favor.

"It's really a big help. How can I repay you?" Qian Hong murmured softly.

Li Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander Qian will just take it. If you really want to thank me, the money for today's drink will be yours."

Still such a free and easy person, Qian Hong sighed in his heart.

"Master Li, where do you live in the city now?" Qian Hong blinked her beautiful eyes and asked in a brilliant tone.

"Hehe, it's still the same blacksmith shop as before. If I'm not talented, I can only make two-handed iron." Li Qing said with a smile.

Qian Hong said: "I also have something to give you. I will send it to you in a few days. You should be interested."

Different iron?A hundred-year-old herbal medicine?
Li Qing made some guesses in his mind, but he did not refuse Qian Hong's kindness. He said: "Then I won't be pretentious. If there is nothing else these days, I will stay in the blacksmith shop."

"it is good!"

In this way, a transaction that satisfied both parties ended.

A few days later, Wu Chao made another big move.

Saint King Tuwahar gave an order, and more than [-] cavalrymen hoarded in the border fortress rushed towards Xiaocuiling.

This menacing appearance shocked everyone.

Are you planning to cross Xiaocuiling and use troops against the Southern Dynasty?
Is the Shengjun Emperor of Wu Dynasty crazy?Xiaocuiling is notoriously rugged and dangerous. It would take a lot of effort to cross it.

Moreover, there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests. Staying in the depths of the mountains and forests for a few more nights will probably cost a lot of people.

The terrain is difficult to cross, which means that it will be very difficult to pull up the military supply line.

No matter how you look at it, this is a dangerous move in the army, a dangerous move, and it is no different from gambling on the fate of the country.

When Li Qing heard the news, he was quite surprised, wondering how a man as powerful as Tuvahar could make such an unwise decision.

"No, going over mountains and ridges to fight this battle is almost a sure defeat. The Southern Dynasty's army will fight to the death no matter how hard it is."

"And even if they really win, how can we maintain governance? No matter how hard the grassland people work to survive, there are only so many people!"

"No, no, and it will be his fiftieth birthday soon. No normal person would think of starting a new war at this time."

"There is something strange!"

Once the troops and horses move, food, grass and military pay must keep up.

As a result, the Wu Dynasty taxed money and grain and fodder, almost by robbing them, and put the cost of troops on the heads of the common people.

But on the other side, the palace started preparing for the birthday banquet of the Holy Lord early.

Two things that cost people and money together weighed heavily on the people's heads, causing almost the entire Wu Dynasty to become uproar.

All these exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes made Li Qing's eyelids jump. He thought to himself that this was clearly a money grab. How could ordinary people afford it? !

Oh, what a coincidence, I can't afford it.

The capable minister Gao Yudong offered advice, the rich contributed money, and the poor contributed efforts.

Anyone who can't pay the tax will be forced to work as coolies, which is euphemistically called corvee!
They couldn't afford to pay in the first place, and now they couldn't engage in production to make money. If people were suddenly conscripted into corvee labor as free labor, it would be even less profitable.

Good guy, I'm back to the slave era all of a sudden!

"This Gao Yudong is really a fucking talent." After learning all this, Li Qing couldn't help but complain harshly, wondering if this guy might be an undercover agent specially placed by Fengguo? !

In order to run two major court affairs at the same time, the people can only suffer.

Those who had no money were assigned to deliver grain and grass to contribute to the Holy King's fiftieth birthday banquet.

In the past few days alone, Li Qing had seen many strong men forced to leave their families and engage in corvee labor.

"Dad, when will you come back?" A boy as skinny as a little boy pulled on an adult man's trouser leg and looked at his father with longing eyes. "Be good, Xiaofu. Daddy is going to help deliver food and grass. When the war is over, he should be back." The man rubbed his doll's head.

Inside the house, a woman wearing patched clothes was wiping her tears.

That was Xiao Cuiling, where venomous snakes and beasts gathered. God knows if they would be able to come back if they were going to transport food.

Moreover, there is only such a pillar in the family, and life has been uneventful. If this man leaves, the mother and son will probably have to suffer from the northwest wind in the future.

There is definitely more than one situation like this.

Li Qing sat at the noodle stall next to the blacksmith shop and ate the noodles. He felt that they were a little tasteless, but the wontons made by Lao Zhang were still delicious.

"Ugh."

Even Shengtian is like this, what will the situation be like for the common people in other states and cities.

Just thinking about it for a moment made Li Qing feel quite depressed.

After eating the noodles, Li Qing once again met Qian Hong, who was wearing a red dress and had a curvy body in the blacksmith shop.

Today she is still wearing a thin veil, her lips and teeth are looming, and she is very charming.

"Master Li, I think this is something you might be interested in."

With that said, Qian Hong took out a rectangular wooden box and handed it to Li Qing.

It's so light, it feels like it's empty!

This was Li Qing's first feeling after taking the wooden box, and he opened it curiously.

Inside the wooden box, a piece of yellow talisman paper was placed quietly, with traces of strange patterns on it. The patterns were light blue, giving people a feeling of lightness and calm.

"Could it be"

Qian Hong looked at Li Qing with a smile and said: "This is the Wind Talisman. After operating in Shengtian for so long, we at Maple Guard have not gained anything."

Life-saving charm!

It seems to be the stuff of immortal cultivators!
After receiving the affirmative answer, Li Qing's eyes lit up and he touched the yellow talisman paper with extreme caution.

The feel of the paper is very ordinary, no different from ordinary book pages, but when you gently brush the spiritual patterns on it with your hand, there is a faint cool feeling.

Popular Talisman!
After use, it can greatly increase a person's speed, comparable to a master-level martial arts master who is good at light kung fu.

Li Qing, who was very good at light skills, had such a magic talisman, so he would not have to worry about running away for his life.

"When using it, you only need to pat the talisman on your body." Qian Hong explained.

“It’s so well deserved for such a precious thing.”

After all, Li Qing was very satisfied with this talisman.

Not only because this thing can make his life worry-free, but also because with this thing, he can be sure that the so-called immortal cultivators really exist in the world, but they rarely appear in the mortal world.

"You don't have to be polite. To Kaedemon, the Lotus Order is no less effective than a spiritual talisman." Qian Hong said with a smile.

"Qian Tong."

Before Li Qing could finish speaking, Qian Hong smoothed the hair beside his ears with his hand and said softly: "If you really want to thank me, then don't call me Commander Qian in the future. It's too annoying. some."

After saying that, her cheeks covered by the thin veil seemed to be a little rosy.

Looking at the attitude of Qian Hong, the little daughter, there is a huge contrast with the cold and proud Commander Qian in Li Qing's impression.

Li Qing thought for a while and then said: "Miss Qian, it would be false for me to refuse such a generous gift, so I accepted it shamelessly."

"Yes." Qian Hong blinked her beautiful gem-like eyes, and then said: "There are a lot of things going on recently. I have to deliver news to the Southern Dynasty, and I have to go to Jiulian Gate in person. I may not be able to spare time in the future. Come down and see you.”

For a moment, Li Qing didn't understand what Commander Qian Hong meant by this.

However, Qian Hong's next words made Li Qing's heart almost jump out of his throat.

"Li Qing, this veil is a little hot, can you help me take it off?"

As she spoke, Qian Hong took two steps closer to Li Qing. She raised her head slightly and looked at the tall man in front of her with burning eyes.

The two of them were very close to each other, and they could clearly feel each other's body temperature.

At this point, no matter how stupid Li Qing is, he still knows what is going on.

He and Qian Hong looked at each other without blinking, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

After a long time, Li Qing slowly raised his head and lifted the veil off the other person's face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Seeing that Li Qing, who had always been free and easy, suddenly became so dull and sluggish, Qian Hong smiled sweetly, her red lips as attractive as a cherry.

"Hehe, silly."

After saying that, Qian Hong took the initiative to take two steps back. She chuckled and said, "Li Qing, can you keep this veil for me? I will come to pick it up again in the future."

After her words fell, she disappeared into the blacksmith shop without waiting for Li Qing's reply.

At this time, Li Qing was still holding this thin red veil in his hand.

At this time, there was still a faint fragrance in the air, and Li Qing felt a little disappointed:
"I remember the forge wasn't on. Why is it so hot?"
