Chapter 12 Zhishui Township
Qing State is a country that has experienced wars. The loss of power of King Jing of the previous generation caused the people's livelihood to wither, and the rebellion of the pseudo-kings not long later. But even so, Qing State is still better than Fang State.
After a few days of sailing, the ship docked at the port of Wudu, Qingguo. Looking around, you can still see many ragged refugees, but compared to the people of Fangguo, there are more or less things in the eyes of the people here - hope. What brings them hope is the same thing, and the new king ascended the throne!
The country will be better if the new king ascends the throne. Although I have heard of it for a long time, Xiaofeng feels more deeply in his heart when he sees it with his own eyes.
"Sure enough, the king is very important to a country."
"Yes, with the king, I believe life will get better soon." The person who answered was a refugee passing by, an old woman with white hair, but due to living conditions, her appearance is probably far higher than her real age.
Although she looked pale and thin, the old woman smiled happily, "I can finally go home. Nothing is better than home."
The previous king of Jing lost his power because he fell in love with Jing Qi. Out of crazy jealousy, she issued a horrifying imperial decree: no women in China were allowed. She drove all women out of Qing State and ordered the killing of all women who remained in China. The result of this was that many wives and children were separated and had to leave their hometowns.
Now that the new king has ascended the throne, these unreasonable laws of the past have finally been abolished.
Watching the old woman go away, Ling and Qingxiu looked at each other and laughed. Although they are not from Qingguo, joy can be infected. Since taking the therapeutic agent Qingxiu's symptoms have improved a lot. Apart from being often dizzy, it is not much different from normal people. This makes the boy's smile on his face richer in a few days. Unlike the previous forced smile, this is a smile that comes from the heart.
This country is reborn. Even if it has experienced too many ups and downs in the past, I believe that everything will eventually get better.
Ling turned around and saw Xiaofeng standing there without moving. The girl's eyes were a little distracted. Although she looked at the mountains in the distance, she didn't really look at the scenery. Seeing this, she ran and jumped a few steps to come to Xiaofeng. "Did Xiaofeng come from Fangguo? Don't worry, Fangguo's Qilin will soon choose a new king. Like here, everyone will live a new life."
Knowing that Ling was misunderstood that she was missing the "Fangguo's home", Xiaofeng did not respond. In fact, she didn't think about anything, just a little emotion. As the king ascended the throne, the disaster would become a thing of the past. Here the king is such an important existence.
"Ling is going to meet King Jing next?"
"Well..." Ling scratched her head in annoyance, and her tone was no longer the same as before. "I heard that King Jing is also a Haike, so I always wondered what kind of person she is, and I must miss Penglai very much, right? In this way, I will talk to her more about Penglai... But now I think about it seriously and feel a little empty. Is King Jing really the same person as I imagined?"
Originally, Ling wishfully thought that she was born in Penglai like King Jing, so King Jing would definitely like to see herself. But now she is really standing on this land and realizes that what she wants to see is the most powerful person in this country, Ling is confused again. Is King Jing really missing Penglai like herself? She is different from herself, not an ordinary seaguard, but a king of a country.
However, Ling now had another reason to see King Jing, which made her no longer retreat.
"Even if King Jing is different from me and I don't miss Penglai, I think I must ask her to ask the imperial doctor to take action to treat Qingxiu. I have a coupon issued by King Cai himself, so as long as I see King Jing, this should be fine. I must always keep my promises."
The wound on Qingxiu's forehead has healed, but he still has a headache from time to time. Without alchemy potions, Xiaofeng is not very good at medical treatment. She understands that the cause is the demonic aura that Qingxiu was infected when she was attacked by demons before. Qingxiu's vision gradually faded. This is probably because the demonic aura eroded the head and affected the brain. Xiaofeng has no good idea for this.
Large Fuling Potions can be used as a symptom, but because the main medicine is missing, the Fuling Potions can no longer be refined after the last bottle was given to Fire Qilin.
The main medicine of Fuling Potion is a plant called Wish Flower. Few can be found in the world, but it is not precious to Xiaofeng, because in the field outside the lonely castle in the main god space, the white flowers blooming by the Moon Lake are Wish Flowers! It is an endless white ocean.
However, because there are too many, people don’t care. I thought before that I could collect it anytime, so Xiaofeng didn’t deliberately collect it. Now that I have lost contact with the main god space, it is useless to regret it. I just hope that the medical skills here can indeed cure the beautiful disease.
"Hey, are you guys who fled back to Qingguo before? Don't have any coupons?"
The voice of speaking came from the dock behind. It was a man in military uniform, who should be an official from Wudu Port.
Among the three of them, Qingxiu was originally born in Qingguo, and he brought a treasure trove. However, Ling nodded because Xiaofeng did not have a treasure trove.
"You should know that you can't go around without coupons, but it's your luck. Now, Zhishui Township in Hezhou is recruiting people. If you go there, you can reissue coupons and get land."
“Receive the land?”
It turned out that this man was sent by Zhishui Township to recruit people, but this is a good thing.
Although Ling is an immortal, she does not have much experience in living in the lower realm, but she also knows that land is important to the people. She is an immortal and does not need land, but in her opinion, Xiaofeng, who fled from Fangguo, is needed. Although Qingxiu is a certificate, the land in her hometown will definitely be gone. If she can be allocated to the land in Zhishui Township, she will have a support for her next life.
Although Ling was happy, she still felt a little unbelievable, "Will you get land when you go? Is it for free?"
"That's not, it's also the escape from the former king's loss of power. The land in the village is empty. Now the new king has ascended the throne, and many fugitives have returned and no land to plant. It's also the village chief who is kind-hearted. Seeing that he couldn't bear it, he promised a good thing to send land to the refugees who returned to China for free. Don't hesitate and lose the opportunity in vain." The man said, and saw that Ling did have a yearning expression, he smiled slightly, "I won't say much to you. If you want to go, take the carriage there. It was specially sent by the town chief to pick up people. It will be there after sleeping for a while. I'll tell others."
The man said, turned around and left, watching and talking to other people who came down from the dock.
"Hey, Qingxiu, Xiaofeng, why don't we go to Zhishui Township too? It's only from Yingzhou. After obtaining the household registration and land, we will be able to go to Yaotian soon."
This should have been a happy event, but Ling, who was happy in her heart, found that Qingxiu did not immediately talk. Although the boy was young, his mind was not simple because of the hardships. Although he couldn't tell why, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the reason.
What was wrong? Looking at the soldier who smiled gently and walked away, Qingxiu felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't tell where the uneasy came from. He consciously looked at Xiaofeng when he couldn't make a decision. Although Ling was an immortal, Qingxiu knew that Xiaofeng was more reliable.
However, Xiaofeng didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he smiled, "Then go."
Since that's the case, no one of the three of them objected.
As the man said, after leaving the wooden plank road in the port, there were ox carts parked by the roadside. There were several carts, and there were already people in the ox cart in front of them. I think they all went to Zhishui Township after listening to the man's words. It only takes three days to get to Zhishui Township by taking the ox cart from Wudu. The staggering ox cart may not be the best means of transportation, at least it is much better than walking.
Because of King Jing's ascendance to the throne, the people in this country began to hold hope, but the people did not know that the person they expected was not in the Jinbo Palace of Yaotian.
Guji, who was far away in Yingzhou, Yangzi, who had completed a day of study, came to the woods outside the village and received a reminder from the envoy that she came here to see her Taifu. Even if Jing Qi was not a beast, her blonde hair and fair skin were particularly eye-catching, so he would not appear in front of others unless it was necessary.
There is a reason Jing Qi came here this time, not for Yangzi.
"How is that kid?"
"Ah, I'm in better shape now. Although I've been sleeping for a few days, Yuanfu said that it's nothing serious and it's time to wake up these two days."
"Is there anything unusual these days?"
"If you want to say something unusual, you have been attacked by demons twice in the past few days... Is this child really?"
"Yeah." Jing Qi nodded, "I should have taken him to the imperial doctor, but you are not in the palace."
"This..." Yangzi was a little confused. Even if he was not in the palace, Jing Qi, who was Taifu, would not have any problems arranging the imperial doctor.
"Why do you think there are demons here?"
"Ah?" This Yangzi didn't think much about it. Since she succeeded to the throne, the demons in Qingguo have gradually disappeared. In the past two days, demons have become frequent. Yangzi is still worried that he will lose his mind. "Is it this child?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Nine Five, and you can only suppress the kingly spirit by your side. As a Qilin, I will not read it wrong. That child is Qilin, the Qilin that has lost his power."
"Is it Taiqi?"
Dai's Qilin Tai Qi disappeared a few years ago. The new king of Dai's Kingdom was missing, which once again caused the country with a new look to be doomed. But Jing Qi knew that Tai Qi was a black Qilin, and although he was not very old, he was not the child.
"Anyway, when he wakes up, I plan to take him to Pengshan. Lord Yuye may know something."
