Chapter 80: Farmer saves snake?
Li Qing could see Xue Ling, but Xue Ling couldn't see Li Qing. Fear and panic spread throughout her. When Xue Ling heard the mysterious man ask this, she hesitated for a moment, but then, as if afraid he would leave, she quickly nodded and said, "Ling'er came here to kill that tyrannical Human Emperor..."
Li Qing had a calm expression on his face as he listened to Xueling's non-stop narration from a distance. Until this moment, he finally understood why he came to such a strange place.
So that's how it is. The Snow Clan actually has this secret technique of mutual destruction!
"So, Ling'er came here with that big bad guy King Zhou."
After she finished explaining the whole story, Xueling blinked her big eyes, kept looking around, and asked hurriedly, "Are you still there? You, are you still there? Ling'er has finished, Ling'er has told you everything, can you save Ling'er?"
"You, don't go, are you still there? Wuuuuuu..."
Li Qingliang did not respond for a long time, and Xueling's face became more and more flustered. Finally, her eyes were filled with tears again, and her whole body trembled more violently.
"Your grandma is really cruel."
Suddenly, that deep voice came again, and it was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly cheering up Xueling. Then she shook her head and said softly: "This, can't be blamed on my grandmother. She also did it for the people and the tribe, so sacrificing Ling'er is worth it."
"Oh, but do you hate the Human Emperor so much? If my information is correct, it's clearly your tribe that goes to the Shang Dynasty border every year, robbing, seizing, and killing. How come you're fine when you rob others, but when they lead their troops to fight you, you call them stupid and tyrannical? Are your people human, but others' aren't?"
Li Qing's expression was calm, and his voice gradually returned to its original tone, with a hint of anger.
Xue Ling naturally didn't notice the change in the voice. She felt even colder and shivered all over. She folded her arms and shook her head, saying, "That's not true. My grandmother said that merchants are greedy. Whether it's trading or collecting taxes, they're always oppressing our Beihai tribe. That's why we rebelled."
"hehe."
Li Qing's voice was filled with sarcasm. "Greed? Merchants trade based on value. After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles across the snowy plains of the North Sea, are you still going to buy your goods at Shang Dynasty prices? As for taxes? In the past hundred years, has my Great Shang ever collected even a cent from you, the Seventy-two Tribes of the North Sea? Who would dare to collect?"
"You, who are you?"
Xueling, with her intelligence, immediately realized what was going on and exclaimed, "You're a businessman!?"
"Yes, I am a businessman!"
Accompanied by a faint whisper, a flame suddenly ignited, and a sandalwood stool slowly began to burn, and everything around it lit up.
"Ah! It's you!"
In just a moment, Xueling's face changed drastically. She stepped back suddenly and wanted to escape, but she had been squatting there for a long time. Her whole body was frozen and she had no strength left. She staggered and fell to the ground, struggling in vain.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Her whole body was numb and she couldn't get up. For a moment, Xueling could only cry and move back little by little. She was afraid that this lewd tyrant would come and insult her.
Li Qing naturally didn't go over. He stood there, watching Xue Ling move back. He casually put the burning stool aside and continued indifferently, "We haven't imposed heavy taxes on you, nor have we sent troops to attack you for a hundred years, yet you keep closing the border every year! Is this resistance? Hahaha! Is this what you call resistance?"
Li Qing exhaled and shook his head, saying, "Every year, you, the 72 tribes of the North Sea, come to the border of the Northland to plunder, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties among the people of Da Shang, and stealing countless treasures. In the end, it turns out that we are the ones oppressing you, and you are resisting!"
Speaking of this, Li Qing shook his head and laughed again.
Xueling stared at Li Qing with terrified eyes, her whole body trembling more and more violently, and her lips had begun to turn blue.
"The seventy-two barbarian tribes of the North Sea must be destroyed."
Li Qing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. There were countless barbarians who had been indoctrinated with the idea of persecution and oppression since childhood! They hated the Shang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts! It was uncontrollable. Since this was the case, the only option was to kill them all! Kill them all!
"Save me... Grandma... Ling'er... It's so cold... Grandma... Daddy... Mom..."
In the distance, Xue Ling, who was lying on the ground, was finally completely frozen. She stopped shivering and began to stiffen. Only a little bit of consciousness allowed her to keep her eyes open, looking up, and mumbling to herself in a daze.
Upon seeing this, the murderous intent in Li Qing's eyes slowly dissipated. He didn't want to save this girl from the Snow Clan. After all, it was she who brought him here, and now she was frozen to death first. It was all her own fault!
Thinking of this, Li Qing looked at Xueling again, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But after walking for a while, Li Qing stopped again.
As I said, he is still a human being after all!
He could kill people, he could conquer people, he could even order the extermination of an entire clan, but in the end, he could not bear to watch a little girl freeze to death in front of him.
“Bad luck.”
Muttering to himself, Li Qing had no choice but to turn around again, then strode up to Xueling.
At this moment, Xueling's beautiful face was frozen blue, but she looked even more pitiful and touching, as if a flower bloomed at its most beautiful moment when it was about to wither!
"Oh, what a sin."
Looking at Xueling lying on the ground, Li Qing sighed, then stretched out his hand and took off his bright red crown, leaving only his gold-thread gauze underwear. Then, he bent down, picked up Xueling, and wrapped the crown around her.
Li Qing's crown is naturally made of the best golden silk in the world. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a top-quality product. Except that it cannot shrink freely like a magic weapon, it is better than the general innate spiritual treasure.
So this huge crown was wrapped around the small body with three layers, which made the crown into a long strip.
Xueling, on the other hand, was wrapped up like a baby, with everything except her pretty face exposed inside the crown.
"Oh, it's a bit cold."
Li Qing, who was without his crown and only wearing a golden gauze dress, felt the chill for a moment, but this little coldness could not do anything to him. His Golden Immortal body, coupled with Li Qing's imperial aura and soaring blood, could still resist it.
"They say a farmer who saves a snake is a fool. Looks like I'm going to be a fool for once."
Li Qing casually wrapped the quilt like a dumpling, and carried Xue Ling, who had fainted from the cold, on his back. He chuckled and muttered to himself before walking forward. He gradually disappeared into the distance, and suddenly another sly laugh was heard: "Maybe it's because that snake is so beautiful? Hahahahaha..."
