Chapter 333 Friendship

Under the hibiscus tree, a lonely figure is reflected.

Qingluan sat alone under the tree, lowering his head and saying nothing. What was he thinking?

The feeling of failure is not pleasant, especially such a complete failure that there is no room for relief.

Yu Qing wanted to go to comfort him, but was stopped by the great elder of Shushan.

"Let her be alone first!"

The Great Elder of Shushan touched his beard, sighed slightly, and left with Yu Qing.

"Great Elder, what is 'Tianfu'?"

The surroundings were empty, except for the two of them, there were only floating clouds and green pines.

"Fenghou assisted the Yellow Emperor to put an end to Chiyou's rebellion and pacify all directions. According to legend, Fenghou created the "Holding Qi Jing", which contains many wonderful methods, and 'Tianfu' is one of them."

"But hasn't the "Holding Qi Sutra" been lost long ago?"

"Indeed!" The Great Elder of Shushan nodded, "But there are also legends that those who understood its true meaning among Taoists in later generations wrote several fragmentary books, from which those who are destined can understand the wonderful teachings contained in the "Holding Qi Jing" .”

In the past, the great elder of Shushan thought that this was just a legend, but after seeing it with his own eyes today, he had to believe that it might be true.

"Does this Lord Hanyang have such a chance?"

The great elder of Shushan shook his head and was not very sure.

"The relationship between Taoism, Yin-Yang Family and Shushan is very complicated and not easy to explain clearly. Especially the Yin-Yang Family, in the past five hundred years, has taken the wrong approach and created some powerful forbidden arts, even at the expense of Use the tactics of your former enemies.”

"The Great Elder is talking about Chi You?"

When Yu Qing mentioned this name, the expression of the great elder of Shushan changed.

"Silence!"

Yu Qing didn't understand why this God of War from long ago made today's Great Elder of Shushan change his expression.

"Even though time has passed, his power is still beyond the imagination of many people today. Some of my witchcraft in Shushan is also inextricably related to it."

Perhaps this topic was too heavy, so the Great Elder of Shushan changed the topic.

"——After half a month, you take 10,000 pieces of brocade and send them to Nanzheng."

Yu Qing was stunned and felt a little distressed. After all, this was a huge fortune that even Shushan could not bear.

"I agreed to this competition after all. Qingluan represents Shushan. If she loses, Shushan loses."

Yu Qing nodded. After all, it was his daughter-in-law who had lost her fortune, and she had to pay it back no matter what.

It has been a long time since Qingluan stayed under the tree, as if he had been hit by something.

Yu Qing was a little worried, but finally went to take a look.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the figure under the tree was a little weak after all. Yu Qing walked over, feeling a little distressed, as if she wanted to hold her in her arms at this moment.

However, before Yu Qing came closer, Qing Luan was raised. Her face, which had always been strong, was red, her hair was messy, and the corners of her eyebrows seemed much softer, not as sharp as before.

"Isn't it ridiculous how I look now?"

"How could it be?" Yu Qing looked at Qingluan, very sincerely, "You are the cutest in my heart."

"Really?"

Qingluan's eyes were filled with tears, feeling a little aggrieved.

"I just like you, no matter what you are."

Yu Qing wiped her eyes for her, with a distressed look on her face.

"Isn't it just a temporary defeat? Don't be discouraged. Let's practice our martial arts well and then challenge that Qin man."

"Woooo..."

Qingluan threw herself into Yu Qing's arms and cried wildly.

…

Nanzheng land.

The autumn rain is continuous, and the rainwater flows down from the ridge of the roof, dripping on the bluestone ground.

Zhao Shuang had a hunch and was handling official business in the study.

Bai Feng came from outside, stopped ten steps in front of the desk, cupped his hands and said.

"My lord, the people from Shushan are here."

Zhao Shuang raised his head and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Yu Qing, their leader, said he came with ten thousand pieces of brocade to fulfill his promise."

Zhao Shuang smiled, but he didn't expect the people in Shushan to be so happy.

"Walk!"

When he saw Yu Qing again, Zhao Shuang thought that the other party would look bitter and resentful. After all, these 10,000 pieces of brocade were a considerable expenditure for a big force like Shushan.

But what Zhao Shuang didn't expect at all was that Yu Qing was smiling with a happy expression on his honest face, as if he was having a wedding night all over again.

"Your Majesty, I have promised to bring you ten thousand pieces of brocade."

Yu Qing's voice was loud and high-spirited.

"The bet was originally a joke. Since Shushan has given me 10,000 bolts of brocade, I will naturally have something in return - 10,000 hu of grain."

Barter is a very common means of transaction in the barbarian lands of Shushan where currencies of various countries are not widely used.

In a big city like Xianyang, the price of 10,000 dendrobium grains is much lower than 10,000 bolts of brocade. But the problem is that this is the land of Bashu, where food is most scarce.

Most of the excess grain produced in the most fertile places in Shu was supplied to the Qin army, and rarely flowed into the areas of these barbarians. Because of this, they were short of food.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Qing was very grateful, which made Zhao Shuang even more confused. Because there is a meaning in this gratitude that Zhao Shuang cannot understand.

After a conversation, Zhao Shuang found that although Yu Qing was conservative, he was very knowledgeable. Shushan's attitude towards cooperating with him is not as decisive as before.

And Yu Qing also seemed to find that this young king did not look like the stereotype of the traditional Qin army. On the contrary, he had many subtle insights into the situation in Shushan.

For a while, they talked about it from morning to night. Zhao Shuang finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Yu, I don't understand something."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Not long ago, I was hostile to your wife and was defeated. Why is there no trace of resentment in Brother Yu?"

Yu Qing was silent. Just when Zhao Shuang thought he was being rude, Yu Qing gave him a stunned answer.

"Well done!"

"..."

Yu Qing was in high spirits and kept talking.

For a long time, as a husband, Yu Qing was suppressed by his wife Qingluan, and his life was very dull and even a little depressed. However, since Qingluan was defeated by Zhao Shuang, her whole person seemed to have changed. She was not as arrogant and domineering as before. Instead, she became gentle and took the initiative to do housework, making Yu Qing finally feel like home.

"For this, I would like to thank you for taking the initiative and teaching this bitch a lesson!"

Yu Qing complained. He can't beat it himself, but someone can.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, but that woman used to annoy me... she danced with knives and guns all day long, and didn't do any housework, and she didn't care about the children..."

"..."

Zhao Shuang looked at Yu Qing in front of him and finally knew the source of their friendship.
