Chapter 60: What a beautiful poem!
three days later.
Outside Qingfeng Pavilion.
Li Qiushui, her face veiled, still spoke softly to Qi Ming:
"If you go to Dali, remember to go to the Langhuan Blessed Land at the foot of Wuliang Mountain. There is a jade statue there, and the secret manual of our sect is hidden in the futon beneath the statue!"
Qi Ming hesitated for a moment before taking out a Blood Orchid Medicine from his pocket, saying, "Fair trade, no deception, young or old."
"This medicine may not bring the dead back to life, but it can heal flesh and bones. Re-open the wound, apply the powder, and it should heal within half a month at most."
Li Qiushui's eyes lit up, and she said in an even softer voice, "Thank you for the medicine, sir."
Having said that, he solemnly accepted the medicine, and then deliberately added:
"I have a mortal enemy whose martial arts are even better than mine. For the next year or two, I will not be able to stay in the palace. If you need anything, you can go to the Mantuo Manor in Suzhou and ask Madam Wang to pass on your message."
Qi Ming's mind raced, and he casually recited a poem:
"The bell tolls at Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou at midnight, reaching the passenger boats. Suzhou is a wonderful place; if I were to live in seclusion, this would be my first choice."
To be more specific, it was the Murong family's Swallow's Nest.
After all, he had reopened the Song Dynasty, and naturally had the right to strike against the rebels of the Song Dynasty.
Li Qiushui was also a cultured person, but that didn't stop her from feigning ignorance, and she complimented with a smile, "Young master, what excellent literary talent you have!"
Emotional value at its peak!
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Your Highness should read more books in the future! This poem is not mine, but was written by Zhang Ji, a poet from the Tang Dynasty."
Li Qiushui couldn't help but smile. Then she waved her hand and ordered the guards beside her to load all the gold, silver, food, clothes, and fabrics onto the carriage.
She gave Qi Ming the two best draft horses in the palace.
"drive!"
Qi Ming, of course, knew how to drive and skillfully rode his horse out of the palace.
Li Qiushui then returned to her study to instruct her granddaughter on how to proceed.
The next day.
Qi Ming wanted to go to Dali to get the secret manual, so his route was naturally south through Hanzhong and Sichuan, traveling thousands of miles to reach his destination.
Now, having just passed Lingzhou, we have entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and are heading towards Pingliang.
Although Yunniang was still young, she already possessed some basic internal strength, so this speed of travel posed no challenge for her.
But once night falls, we still need to set up a tent to rest.
As Qi Ming grilled the fish, he asked with a smile:
"Yunniang, how are you feeling?"
The little girl honestly replied, "I feel a warm sensation circulating in my stomach."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ming immediately grabbed her wrist, channeled a stream of true energy into her, and guided her internal energy.
The little girl's fair face immediately turned bright red.
Qi Ming couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn it, Han Dachui, how old is this girl and you've already started flirting with her? I really should give you a few more slaps!"
Then it occurred to me, how many girls does Han Dachui have?
It seems his first wife was Wang Anshi's daughter?
There was also a courtesan concubine who worked at Fanlou in Tokyo (Kaifeng Prefecture). Han Dachui even went against a prince for her sake.
There was also a concubine who was an excellent cook, but Qi Ming couldn't remember who she was.
I'm not really interested.
He already has a general plan.
This time he's not emperor anymore, so it doesn't feel very meaningful.
Let's focus on collecting and studying some martial arts principles!
For example, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are actually not difficult to learn.
Even Zhuang Juxian, or rather You Tanzhi, could become the gang leader, so how could Qi Ming not?
A single slap could make "Rhythm Master" Quan Guanqing acknowledge him as his father—that wouldn't be difficult at all...
It's not surprising that in ancient times, household slaves called their masters "father."
For details, please refer to Jin Ximei.
Once Qi Ming becomes the leader of the gang, it will be a logical step for him to demand that Qiao Feng hand over the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Second.
He also wants to be the master of Lingjiu Palace and the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.
The four quadruplets—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—are so enthusiastic, lively, playful, and adorable; how could he possibly miss them?
He also wanted the "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique" from the Child Granny.
As for this arrangement, what will happen to Xu Zhu in the future?
The story of Tianlong is about "not being able to get what you want".
Xu Zhu wanted to become a monk.
So for him, being a lord would certainly be a great opportunity, but being a monk isn't so bad either!
At last.
We also need to plant blood orchids.
This time the timeframe is ten years, so we can reap the rewards.
Speaking of this, there are also amazing animals in this world, such as the lightning ferret, the manggu toad, and the ice silkworm.
Qi Ming is a biology expert and really wants to take it back for research.
In short, it's about eating and taking as much as possible to achieve all the goals.
***
After calming her breathing, Yunniang went to sleep first.
Qi Ming sat cross-legged, feigning sleep.
About half an hour later.
A series of drum-like hoofbeats approached rapidly from afar.
Qi Ming smiled inwardly, picked up his sword, and walked outside the tent.
The moonlight is bright tonight.
Moreover, a master like him possesses the ability to see in the dark.
Li Qinglu wasn't a master, but she possessed superior internal strength, making it easy for her to travel at night.
They rounded a bend and appeared before Qi Ming.
Then, channeling her inner drama queen, she feigned shock and exclaimed, "Brother Qi..."
Then he cried out urgently, "Brother Qi, please save me!"
Having said that, she slapped her horse's back with both hands, and suddenly leaped into the air, throwing herself into Qi Ming's arms like a moth to a flame, and started crying again:
"My grandmother has disappeared, my father is forcing me to marry into a foreign power, and he's sent men to arrest me and bring me back..."
A tall, thin man with a horse-like face leaped down from the tree, glaring at Qi Ming and saying:
"Who do you think you are?! How dare you lift a princess of such noble birth? Whichever hand you used to lift her, that hand will be chopped off!"
Qi Ming spread his hands: "I didn't lay a hand on her. She was the one who took the initiative to hug me and wanted to elope with me."
"You bastard!"
Yun Zhonghe shouted angrily, "Release the princess immediately!"
Li Qinglu stood on tiptoe and shoved Qi Ming across the face, then turned and said:
"Yun Zhonghe! Please go back and tell my father that I will marry no one but Brother Qi in this life! I sneaked out of the palace to elope with him!"
"Yun Zhonghe?"
Qi Ming's face showed disgust: "Is that the most vicious of the Four Evils, the one who defiled so many women? I've run into you today, so it's the perfect opportunity to finish you off!"
"How arrogant!"
Yun Zhonghe flashed forward and swung an iron claw-like steel staff at Qi Ming's head.
This time it's different.
Qi Ming did not let go of Li Qinglu, with one arm around her slender waist and the other holding a sword, as he exchanged blows with Yun Zhonghe.
Yun Zhonghe's "Eight Strikes of the Snake and Crane" was nothing special; Qi Ming could easily handle it using only the basic Quanzhen sword techniques.
His movements were extremely graceful, as if he were dancing a ballroom dance with Li Qinglu under the moon.
Li Qinglu's face flushed, and the arms around his waist tightened even more.
suddenly.
Qi Ming changed his move, and the sword light suddenly accelerated by three times, passing through the layers of staff shadows and stabbing towards Yun Zhonghe's right shoulder.
Yun Zhonghe was startled and quickly withdrew his staff to protect his shoulder, but a force pulled the staff to the left.
At the same time, Qi Ming's sword blade had already stabbed downwards at an angle!
Yun Zhonghe felt a chill below, his body felt lighter, and his brain went blank.
Obviously.
The small candles and two magic pills that aided him in his crimes had now left him.
They left quietly, just as quietly as they came.
Qi Ming waved his sleeve, shoving Yun Zhonghe aside.
What a beautiful poem!
