Immortal Refiner

Guo Zhentong did as he said. He did not disturb Li Qing's standing. He just sipped the strong wine and looked at Master Gu's grave with a slightly melancholy look.

Li Qing originally hoped to get some advice, but when he turned around, he didn't know when the captain had disappeared.

The sky had dimmed at this time, and the howling wind outside the Great Wall gradually began to subside.

Li Qing finally added a handful of soil to Master Gu's grave and returned to the military camp outside the Great Wall.

But the training ground tonight was not peaceful. Many soldiers were gathered and were preparing to go to war!

Are we going to use troops against the horse thieves in the northern part of the Great Wall?

This was the first thought in Li Qing's mind. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the captain at the front of the army. It was Yuan Xiao!

As the passionate words fell, nearly two thousand people led by Captain Yuan Xiao rushed towards the northern part of the Great Wall.

Seeing this, Li Qing hurried back to his tent, not daring to look at it any more.

Because he was a blacksmith accompanying the army, Li Qing naturally only needed to stay in the camp and did not need to go on the expedition.

"Huh! It seems that a fight is really going to break out, but I don't know if Liang State and the horse thieves are really colluding with each other..."

After returning to his tent, Li Qing silently calculated the current situation.

If Liang State and the horse thieves are colluding with each other, then this expedition is likely to be a disastrous defeat, and it may even affect the place where he is stationed.

"I don't know if the court has sent more troops to the border. The situation is so tense now, and a larger-scale turmoil may break out at any time."

Li Qing sighed. His current source of information is too closed. Without enough information, no matter how flexible his mind is now, it is impossible to analyze the current specific situation out of thin air.

"I can't care about so much. The most urgent thing is to enter the level of external force masters first, so that I can have a certain ability to protect myself."

As he said, Li Qing subconsciously picked up two rice bowls and prepared to go to the kitchen to get food.

But soon he shook his head again, put down the rice bowl of Master Gu, and went to the kitchen with his own rice bowl.

The kitchen area, which was originally bustling with people every night, was extremely peaceful tonight. Even the soldiers who passed by occasionally had a solemn look on their faces.

There is a war.

War means death. It seems that these people in the army are not completely ignorant of the current situation.

Fatty Wu was on duty in the kitchen tonight. On his fat face, he could even see a rare trace of worry.

"I heard that your master was robbed by horse thieves while transporting grain?" Li Qing asked tentatively. Now this matter is no longer a secret in the army. This is also the excuse used by Captain Yuan Xiao to go to war.

Fatty Wu quickly filled Li Qing's rice bowl with food, and even pressed it down, putting two more spoonfuls of bacon in it.

"Yes, but the court will send another grain transport team soon, but I don't know who will receive it this time. What if they want to take me with them?" Fatty Wu's nervous face was sweating.

Sending another grain transport team?

This shows that the court is not completely ignorant of the border affairs, and the food is still sufficient, and the food supply line can be maintained stable.

It seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined...

Thinking of this, Li Qing picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be very dangerous to receive the food this time. With the last lesson, the grain transport this time will definitely be heavily escorted."

"How do you know?" Fatty Wu asked suspiciously.

Li Qing rolled his eyes, said nothing more, and returned to his tent with the rice bowl.

After dinner, when it was late at night, he traveled to the polar night world again.

...

"According to the time, it's almost time to deliver the goods. Yan San should come today..."

Li Qing was wearing a thick cotton coat, and then he took a stance and continued to stand up.

Not too long after waiting, the gate of the courtyard was knocked again.

Dongdongdong!

"Is Master Li here?" Yan San's voice also sounded.

Li Qing walked to the gate of the courtyard slowly and welcomed Yan San in. He still had a flattering smile, and wanted to please this blacksmith with quite good craftsmanship in the city.

"I have made the cutting knives. Where are the things I want?" Li Qing pointed to a pile of cutting knives placed in the corner of the yard.

"Oh! Master Li is indeed a trustworthy person! Don't worry, I also brought the things you want from the Yan family!"

As he said, Yan San took out a roll of animal skin and a pair of green bamboo slips and handed them directly to Li Qing.

Li Qing took the animal skin scroll and bamboo slips. Both were very simple and old, and they looked like they were not fake.

When he unfolded the animal skin scroll, he saw a picture of a tiger pouncing on its prey, which was full of meaning!

After just one look, Li Qing was shocked by the martial arts spirit from the animal skin scroll.

Seeing this, Yan San thought that Li Qing didn't understand what was drawn on it, so he said, "Master Li, the Yan family said that this was a very ferocious beast in the past. A martial arts master once created this skill by observing this beast hunting!"

"Although this ferocious beast can no longer be found now, this martial arts has been passed down!"

Li Qing pondered for a while and then said: "Yes, not bad."

Another ancient blue bamboo slip recorded something even more beyond Li Qing's expectation. It turned out to be a volume of internal martial arts, the Turtle Breathing Kung Fu!

This time Yan San didn't explain much, because he saw a look of satisfaction in Li Qing's eyes.

"Master Li, should I take the cutting knife away now?" Yan San said tentatively.

"Okay, you can take it." Li Qing nodded.

boom!

After the courtyard door was closed, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Li Qing's mouth.

"Haha, the Yan family is really smart..."

...

Obsidian City is located in a majestic and luxurious mansion in the center of the city.

"You mean, that Tiejiang Li showed a satisfied expression after accepting the two martial arts skills you brought over?"

An aristocratic young man wearing brocade clothes and fine skin asked with a strange look on his face.

Yan San, who was standing next to him with a very low posture, nodded and responded: "Yes, I can guarantee it. Master Yan, look, I have replaced this cutting knife!"

"Well, you did a good job. That Tiejiang Li is indeed a man with little knowledge. You don't need to pay more attention to him from now on." The young master of the Yan family waved his hand and said casually.

Behind him, a burly middle-aged man also sneered:

"This Tiejiang Li is probably just a layman and doesn't know anything about martial arts."

"The Qingluo Kick that was sent to me at the first door is very particular about skill. He is a blacksmith who can open and close his skills. He is definitely not suitable for this kind of Kung Fu. He can only practice it to a small degree without any threat."

"The black tiger at the back pounces on food. Although the artistic conception on the animal skin scroll is strong, if you have never seen a real evil tiger, it is absolutely impossible to practice it. In this world, where can you find a ferocious tiger for him to watch? "

Yan Song also chuckled, and he said: "The last Turtle Breathing Technique takes the most time to practice. I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in within ten or eight years."

"Three useless things actually made Blacksmith Li so satisfied. It seems that he is indeed just a layman."
