Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Climbing the City Wall is Too Difficult

When Xuan Huaiqing saw the confusion on her face, he knew that she probably didn't know about these things.

He smiled and said, "Miss Yu, do you know the Imperial Master?"

Yu Li shook his head, "I don't know!"

The original owner was a country girl who had only been to the county town once when she was a child. Her understanding of the outside world came from the people around her.

The people around her were a group of ignorant villagers who were not well-informed and knew even less.

Of course, the educated people in the eldest family should know something, but after they return to the village, they are rather reserved and seldom talk to their families about what is happening outside. They feel that even if they tell them, the children won’t understand and it would be a waste of time and a bit condescending.

Xuan Huaiqing was choked by her self-righteousness.

He had already determined that Yu Li was taught by talented people and was a person with real abilities. He subconsciously thought that these talented people must be well-informed about everything in the world, but he didn't expect that she was actually "ignorant".

She didn't even know the imperial teacher in the capital.

Xuan Huaiqing had no choice but to say, "The national teacher is a talented person. Before he became the national teacher, he was just an old man practicing in the mountains. Later, he saved the saint who was in distress, and the saint named him the national teacher."

The national teacher is a typical example.

He was appointed to an official position not by taking imperial examinations nor through the influence of his ancestors, but by his own ability.

Such examples of talented people being granted official positions have existed since the previous dynasty, and now there is even a living example in the capital.

Xuan Huaiqing felt that if Yu Li’s teacher was willing to come out and show his abilities to the saint, he would definitely be granted an official position.

And Yu Li, with her abilities, if she wants to in the future, she should be able to do it.

Although there are no women serving as officials in this dynasty, if her contributions are too great, it would be bad for the court to remain silent, right?

Yu Li didn't have time to think about this, but asked in surprise: "Practice? How do you practice?"

"I don't know." Xuan Huaiqing spread his hands. "I heard that the saint met the national teacher twenty years ago. Now, twenty years have passed, and the national teacher still looks as young as he was back then."

Yu Li was a little confused. "Isn't he an old man who practices cultivation? How come he is still young?"

Xuan Huaiqing patiently explained: "When the saint met the national teacher, the national teacher looked very young. It is said that he practiced Taoism, so he looked about 30 years old. The national teacher said that he was already over 60 years old at that time."

People in their sixties are indeed considered old.

He heard these from the older generation in his family. After all, he was not born twenty years ago.

Yu Li looked at him with burning eyes. Huajia means sixty years old.

A sixty-year-old could still look like thirty. Now twenty years have passed and he is eighty years old. An eighty-year-old man still looks like thirty. Could it be that the national master is really a person who knows how to practice cultivation?

Genetic warriors can also delay aging because of their special powers.

In the eyes of the people in this world, beings like genetic warriors are a kind of talented people.

For a moment, Yu Li was full of curiosity about the National Master, wondering whether the National Master had the same adventure as himself.

She asked Xuan Huaiqing: "Do you know what the Imperial Master is capable of? Can he level mountains and split the earth? Can he fly into the sky and hide underground? Can he call the wind and rain? Can he make all things grow..."

She was asking about the special powers awakened by the genetic warriors.

For example, if she awakens the power of strength, her power will be very strong, even greater than her current power. With one punch, she can easily flatten mountains and crack the earth. If she awakens the power of wind, she can fly into the sky, and even hide underground. If she awakens the power of water, she can call the wind and rain. If she awakens the power of wood, she can make all things grow...

These superpowers can be matched one by one.

Although I don't know whether the National Master is like me, having come back to life from another world, if he has other abilities, I can guess his origins and explore his abilities at the same time.

Xuan Huaiqing looked at her in confusion.

Even Boss Tu was dumbfounded.

Is this the method used by immortals that she is talking about?

Could it be that the teacher who taught her this skill was capable of this? If this was the case, they seemed to understand why she was such a skinny girl when they first met her, but in just a few months, she became like this.

Thinking of this, it was Xuan Huaiqing's turn to look at her with burning eyes and asked tentatively: "Miss Yu, could the teacher who taught you know these?"

"No." Yu Li thought to himself that Teacher Cai was a powerful person and could send the proud genius flying into the sky with just one punch.

As the saying goes, force can defeat skill. No matter how many tricks you have, you will have to bow down in front of Teacher Cai.

It was because she had seen Teacher Cai knock out a rebellious genius in the training camp with one punch that she longed for power when she was young. When she awakened her superpowers, she awakened to power.

Xuan Huaiqing was a little disappointed. "What you said are the methods of immortals, right? Your teacher is really not..."

Immortal?

It was Yu Li's turn to look at him in confusion. What immortal?

She knew about immortals. Even a hundred years after the end of the world, there were still some incomplete information left, allowing them, the people of later generations, to know what the immortals that their ancestors imagined looked like.

When she found out that they actually misunderstood Teacher Cai as an immortal, she quickly explained: "Of course not, Teacher Cai is just like us, she is also a human, but she is more powerful and very strong."

Xuan Huaiqing was very disappointed, "Then what you just said..."

"Didn't you say that the National Master is a cultivator? So I asked him if he knows these?" Yu Li said righteously.

Since everyone can practice cultivation, it’s normal for them to have some special abilities, right?

Xuan Huaiqing was equally confident: "Of course the Imperial Master doesn't know these things. If he did, he would be an immortal."

I’m afraid that the saint in the palace would be even more eager to enshrine the imperial teacher and find the way to immortality.

This time, Yu Li became the disappointed person: "Isn't he the national teacher appointed by the saint? He can maintain his youth, so how can he not know these?"

She knew that "Saint" was the name for the emperor in the imperial palace in the capital.

This is a world of imperial power. Imperial power is supreme. Even the title of the emperor is extremely sacred and he is called a saint. Even the country people know these basic knowledges.

Xuan Huaiqing was ashamed, "I have never heard that the national teacher has this ability, but he can make elixirs. I heard that the elixir can prolong people's life. Because of the national teacher, the saint's health has been getting better and better in recent years..."

Also because the emperor lived too long, the princes grew older and became increasingly dissatisfied with the old emperor who clung to the throne.

For the prince, an emperor who dies early is a good emperor.

Unfortunately, their father was too long-lived. In order to consolidate his power, he killed the princes without mercy. Even Prince Yide, who was once respected by the court and the country, ended up like that.

Xuan Huaiqing couldn't help feeling irritated whenever he thought about the things happening in the capital.

After his father died in the battlefield, his family quickly sent him away from the capital and to his grandfather, for fear that he would be involved.

Now, almost ten years have passed, and the situation in the capital has not become clear.

Yu Li noticed that his mood suddenly became very bad. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't ask much.

She felt that the national teacher seemed to be quite powerful and could even refine elixirs. Could it be that this world really had a mysterious power that she didn't know about?

If she meets him in the future, will she be able to defeat him?

Thinking of this, Yu Li didn't feel like asking any more questions. He chatted with Xuan Huaiqing for a few words and then left.

**

Yu Li was preoccupied with his thoughts and returned to Qingshi Village absent-mindedly.

After dinner, she went to take a nap, but she didn't sleep well.

Fu Wenxiao woke up early and was a little puzzled to see that she was still frowning in her sleep.

She has always been emotionally stable and rarely can be stumped by anything. Could it be that she has encountered some difficulties?

At night, Fu Wenxiao sat there, and she held his hand and treated him.

After the treatment, he put a plate of white rice cakes in front of her and asked her to eat some to fill her stomach.

He specially asked Zhou to make this white rice cake.

Ever since he knew that she would be hungry after treating him, Fu Wenxiao did not let her sleep directly after the treatment. Instead, he let her eat something before sleeping to avoid having to sleep on an empty stomach, which would be unpleasant.

"Li Niang, have you encountered any difficulties?" Fu Wenxiao asked in a gentle voice.

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and had a soothing power that made people want to confide in him involuntarily.

Yu Li had a question for him, and when she saw him asking, she said, "Xiao brother, do you know the imperial master in the capital?"

Fu Wenxiao was slightly stunned, and something flashed across his eyes quickly.

He didn't answer but asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

A country girl from a remote and secluded village would not know about the imperial master in the capital, and there should be no news about the imperial master in her "memory". It is estimated that someone told her about this.

You don't need to ask to know that the only person who could say this to her was Xuan Huaiqing.

Yu Li said: "Xuan Huaiqing came to the butcher shop today and told me about it."

Then she told him about her conversation with Xuan Huaiqing today.

"Xuan Huaiqing and Uncle Tu both think I'm a talented person." She scratched her face and asked curiously, "Xiao Ge'er, what do you think a talented person should be like?"

Yu Li also knew that his strength was unusually great in the eyes of people in this world.

This was brought from her soul. No matter what, she was a genetic warrior in her previous life and awakened supernatural powers in her previous life. Even if she changed her body, she brought some of it with her soul.

On the contrary, the awakened life power is a special case, so this power is so weak that it can be regarded as non-existent.

Yu Li never thought of hiding his strength.

If there is no pollution in this life, she will live a long life. If in order to conceal it, she has to be tolerant in everything in her life and cannot use her strength, then forget it.

But before she could figure out how to explain her strength, Xuan Huaiqing took the initiative to explain it for her.

The term "capable person" is really good, as it fully describes her strength and abilities.

After all, she was just a little stronger and had some supernatural powers to cure diseases. Compared with the eternal youth of the imperial teacher in the capital, she was still a little lacking.

There was no surprise on Fu Wenxiao's face; this was something he had expected.

She was too special, and it was normal for people to associate her with those talented people, so he never dissuaded her from hiding anything and letting her do what she had to do.

Since she has the ability and talent, why should she hide it?

It is easy for capable people to succeed.

He didn't think that a small bluestone village could trap her. Sooner or later, the world would see her abilities and even be sincerely impressed by her.

Seeing her asking him curiously, Fu Wenxiao smiled and said, "A talented person is usually someone with special abilities. Someone as strong as you, Li Niang, can also be considered a talented person."

Yu Li blinked her eyes. "Really?" She sighed, "But I'm not that strong. I can't flatten a mountain with one punch like Teacher Cai."

She still had too little strength in her life, so she had to work hard on her physical skills.

Fu Wenxiao's eyelids twitched slightly.

It seems that in her world, there are many people with powerful strength like her, which makes her think that she is very "weak" now and has to practice physical skills diligently every day.

Fu Wenxiao has a very good brain. Although he is weak and has never practiced the physical skills, he discovered through deduction that the physical skills she practiced are a very sophisticated kind of kung fu that is very suitable for the human body. It can not only strengthen the body, but also improve people's physical fitness and strength.

Yu Li asked worriedly, "What if one day I face off against the Imperial Master and I can't beat him?"

Before she knew whether the Imperial Master was a good person or a bad person, she was ready to fight with him.

This is the law of survival in the end times, a unique combat consciousness of the genetic warriors. Whenever they encounter a strong opponent, they will fight first to confirm each other's status. If they win, they will become the superior (boss), and if they lose, they will obey the arrangements obediently and must not easily question the orders of the superior (boss).

Fu Wenxiao was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you go up against the Imperial Master, he is no match for you."

"Really?" Yu Li looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

Fu Wenxiao remained calm, "I have had the honor of meeting the Imperial Master once before."

"Huh?" Yu Li was surprised, "You've actually met the Imperial Master?"

Isn’t her husband a sickly man? How could he meet the imperial teacher?

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Is it to let the national teacher treat you? I heard that the national teacher can make elixirs and has the ability of an immortal." If there really is an elixir, it should be able to save him, right?

Fu Wenxiao: "...That's a lie."

His expression was very complicated and he didn't know where to start explaining.

Finally, he said: "What the national master refines is not necessarily an elixir. Although the elixir can indeed make people younger, it is far from the effect of prolonging life, let alone making people immortal."

Yu Li looked at him and confirmed one thing, "The national teacher is really amazing, he can also make elixirs."

Their genetic warriors don’t know how to make elixirs at all.

Fu Wenxiao: “…”

Yu Li has already determined that the National Master is a talented person in this world. In addition to being curious, he is also determined to work hard to practice physical skills.

She even said to Fu Wenxiao: "Brother Xiao, when you are well, you must practice physical training with me."

Fu Wenxiao responded with a smile, and she said, “He will practice.”

Then I heard her say: "When the time comes, if I'm not at home, you will be the only one left at home to protect mother and Yan Hui. You must practice hard. Although you can't practice to the point of flying over eaves and walls, you must practice to the point of being able to climb over city walls."

Fu Wenxiao: “…”

Climbing over the city walls is too difficult.

**

On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county government finally informed the people that the bandits in Qingya Mountain had been wiped out.

People rushed to tell each other.

In particular, some people whose family members had been persecuted by bandits burst into tears. They came to the county government office to kowtow and express their gratitude to the county magistrate for suppressing the bandits.

There were several elderly men whose children had died tragically at the hands of the bandits, who were supported by their relatives. Their hair was gray and sparse, their faces were full of wrinkles, and they kowtowed tremblingly.

This scene made everyone feel sad, and they cursed the bandits for being so heartless. Fortunately, they have now been wiped out by the government.

When County Magistrate Zhang learned about this, he quickly asked someone to explain that it was not the county government that sent people to suppress the bandits, but General Xuan, and it was General Xuan who did it.

Although the people knew about this, General Xuan and General Young were not here, and ordinary people could not easily approach the military camp, so they had to come here and kowtow to the yamen.

They don't understand any profound principles, they just want to express their gratitude.

A group of yamen runners hurried over and helped the people who were kowtowing to their feet, telling them not to kowtow anymore and to go home quickly.

Ge, Zhu and Peng were also among them.

The three of them had all suffered severe beatings from Yu Li, so they knew more about the bandit suppression campaign than others.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ge the Yamen Runner was taken away from Wen Niang's house by Yu Li. The next day, Wen Niang went to find Zhu the Yamen Runner to tell him about this. Then Zhu the Yamen Runner learned that Ge the Yamen Runner was taken away by the drunk Yu Li to suppress bandits.

The servant Peng soon found out.

At that time, they sympathized with Ge Yayi, especially Ge Yayi, who did not return to the county town until the afternoon with a tired face. They felt that they were very unlucky to be forced by that terrible female evil star to suppress bandits, and they were lucky to come back alive.

Of course, this idea disappeared in the evening when County Magistrate Zhang personally received General Xuan who came to the county town and sent people to bring the injured bandits from Qingya Mountain back to the county town and lock them up.

They even felt very regretful and wondered why they were not the ones who won the election.

If they were the ones chosen by the old man, they would be the ones praised by the county magistrate now, they would be the ones who got promoted and made money, and they would be the ones who are enjoying the high spirits of Ge Yayi now.

They regretted so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

At this moment, in their eyes, Yu Li was no longer a female evil star or a female devil, but a female Bodhisattva who could bring them credit.

This time, the government's notice only said that a righteous man worked with General Xuan Xiao and others to eliminate the bandits in Qingya Mountain, but did not mention the name or identity of the righteous man.

Therefore, no one knew who the hero was.

Even Magistrate Zhang didn't know, because Xuan Huaiqing had reminded him not to ask too many questions and just give the reward money.

County Magistrate Zhang thought that the hero was trained by the imperial court specifically to suppress bandits, so he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

Upon learning that Ge Yayi was taken by the righteous man to suppress the bandits, he went to Ge Yayi to ask about it.

The yamen runner Ge said honestly, "The hero asked us to wait at the foot of the mountain while she went up the mountain alone. By the time we got up, she had already wiped out all the bandits in Qingya Mountain."

He said he didn't know what happened at that time or what the hero did.

County Magistrate Zhang then asked for the information of the hero, and Boss Ge looked embarrassed.

He did not dare to refuse the county magistrate's question, so he had to bring up General Xuan and said that the general told him not to speak.

After returning to the county town, Ge Yayi met Xuan Huaiqing and learned from the county magistrate that "Young Master Xuan" was actually the grandson of General Xuan and a young general of the Zhennan Army.

He was shocked and didn't dare to say anything.

At that time, Xuan Huaiqing took time out of his busy schedule to meet him and asked them not to reveal Yu Li's identity.

Ge Yayi understood that General Xuan wanted to protect Boss Li. Although Boss Li was very powerful, her family were just ordinary people, so he should protect Boss Li's family.

He definitely won't tell anyone, he doesn't have the courage to do so.

When Magistrate Zhang learned that it was Xuan Huaiqing who gave the order, he did not ask any further questions.

No matter what, the annihilation of the bandits in Qingya Mountain was an achievement for him. From now on, the people in Shanping County will no longer be harmed by bandits, and the people will live and work in peace. How can this not be considered his achievement?

In this case, there is no need to worry about who the hero is.

-

Wu Shouzi and others came specially to see the government notice, and saw the scene in front of the yamen.

Seeing those people kowtow to the yamen sincerely, several people were touched.

They had already learned from Wu Shouzi that Boss Li had gone to suppress the bandits, and knew that the bandits in Qingya Mountain were actually suppressed by Boss Li alone.

They were stunned for a long time.

Since these idlers decided to turn over a new leaf, they have been trying hard to be good people and no longer do evil things. In addition, their consciences have not yet been lost, so they were naturally deeply touched when they saw this scene.

Their state of mind also changed greatly from then on.

"Boss Li is really amazing." Gao Sheng sighed, and then felt a little annoyed, "Why didn't Boss Li take me with him that day?"

He was very unconvinced. It was obvious that he was no worse than Wu Shouzi, so why didn't the boss choose him?

Wu Shouzi said proudly: "Of course it's because Boss Li thinks I'm smart and sensible that he took me with him."

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a look at his long and thin face. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.

Smart and sensible?

He has shifty eyes and looks like a villain, right?

Gao Sheng grumbled, "Isn't that because you are the thinnest? This way it will be easier for the boss to carry you."

But they knew that Boss Li was carrying him and the yamen runner to Qingya Mountain, and the speed was incredible.

This also let them know how strong Li Lao Da is, no wonder his beatings hurt so much.

Wu Shouzi's face froze, and he immediately said, "Look at that yamen runner named Ge over there, he's so fat, twice as big as me, but the boss took him with him, so it's not because I'm thin!"

He absolutely refused to admit that Boss Li took him there because he was thin.

Li Laoda must think that he is smart, clever and sensible.

As they were talking, Ge Yayi and his men also saw these idlers mixed in the crowd.

Knowing that these were Yu Li's younger brothers, they naturally would not drive them away and pretended not to see them.

After finally sending away those kowtowing people, Ge Yayi and his companions were finally able to take a break.

When they went to the teahouse to drink tea, Zhu Yayi suddenly said, "Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, when are we going to tie up the Yu brothers and take them to the boss to make amends?"

Hearing this, both Ge and Peng looked at him.

Peng Yayi said, "Isn't there a kid from the Chen family? He's your uncle's cousin. You wouldn't be reluctant to part with him and only kidnap the Yu brothers, right?"

"How can that be possible?" Zhu Yayi said quickly, "Of course he will be tied up together as well."

Now he had no intention of revenge against Yu Li, and he was even worried that one day General Xuan would find out what they had done to her.

Compared with my own future and the safety of my family, what does my cousin from my uncle's family matter?

What's more, it was Chen Zhongxun who wanted to deal with Boss Li first, so isn't it normal to ask them to apologize to Boss Li?

Seeing that the yamen runner Zhu did not show any reluctance, the yamen runners Ge and Peng felt relieved.

They are now completely devoted to Boss Li and are willing to go through fire and water for her. They will get angry with anyone who dares to question Boss Li.

Chen Zhongxun and the Yu brothers had evil ambitions and even wanted Boss Li to kneel down and apologize to them, which made them feel very happy.

After the three of them discussed it, they decided to have Chen Zhongxun and the others kneel down and apologize to Boss Li tomorrow.

If you don't try to please the boss at this time, when will you leave?
