Chapter 378 God of War
Ji Canglin waited for Lu Qingqing to take pity on him and comfort him.
But to his surprise, she wanted to change his medicine again, this time with sheep droppings in it!
Then I heard her say, "Some people are born into wealth and luxury, while others are born into poverty and suffer from hunger."
If you are born into wealth and privilege, how can you be sure that you will have a stable and smooth life, and not fall from the clouds to the hell?
How can you know that someone born in the countryside will be poor all their life and unable to earn a living through hard work?
We met by chance, so I'd like to offer you a few words:
Some people can touch the moon by simply reaching out their fingers.
Some people spend their entire lives trying to climb out of hell.
But the distance to climb out of hell is farther than plucking the moon from afar.
Why bother trying to reach the moon? Climbing out of hell is already a victory!
Ji Canglin forgot to stop the dressing change and stared wide-eyed at Lu Qingqing.
Above my head was a blurry, indistinct face.
He couldn't see clearly, but he felt that Lu Qingqing must have a very gentle expression at this moment.
"Close your eyes, don't let anything dirty get in, and don't open them until you're completely healed."
Ji Canglin immediately closed his eyes.
He then told himself that he wasn't subconsciously listening to the woman, but rather that he remembered his own eyes.
Ever since he was ten years old, when his eyes began to change color and people questioned him, he has never dared to look people in the eye again.
He was careless just now.
That's right, it's definitely not about being obedient.
“Your eyes, with their amber hue, are as beautiful as gemstones. It would be a shame if you went blind,” Lu Qingqing added.
Ji Canglin tensed up instantly.
Lu Qingqing had already stood up and gone out to give instructions.
Ji Canglin cursed inwardly: What an ignorant woman!
She'd never seen a person from the Western Liao Dynasty before, yet she said those eyes, which looked like a dead cat's eyes, were beautiful!
If you see it, you'll know how disgusting this color is!
But……
This is the first time someone has said his eyes are beautiful...
Lu Qingqing found two of her brothers and had them carry Ji Canglin to a nearby village.
He gave a family some money, left them medicine, and asked them to take care of Ji Canglin until his eyesight recovered.
Ji Canglin was filled with rage.
He described his plight so badly, yet she still didn't keep him. It's clear that the woman wasn't so kind-hearted after all!
...
A day later, Lu Qingqing and her group arrived at the agreed place.
But I didn't see a single person!
"Master, something's not right. We're traveling slowly, so they should have arrived long ago!"
“Then something has happened,” Lu Qingqing said gravely.
At that time, the troops were divided into five groups, firstly to avoid alerting the Holy Physician Sect, and secondly to prevent anyone from defying Ji Ruyan's orders.
No one is coming from any of the roads now. Could it be that the garrisons of the three border cities have all rebelled?
No way!
Ji Canglin doesn't have that much prestige yet.
"If no one comes, then we won't be safe here either, and we'll have to retreat one after another."
Just as Lu Qingqing finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves and cleats came from the air.
Both in the front and back!
They're surrounded!
Those in front held the banner of the Holy Healer Sect high.
Behind them, however, were the uniforms of the garrison troops of the prefectural city.
As expected, someone disobeyed Ji Ruyan's orders.
Ha! Ji Cangli has already fled, yet you're still loyal to him?
Is it stupid or not?
"Your Highness's letter said that someone would bring an army to wipe out the Holy Physician Sect. I wondered which great general it was, but it turned out to be just a young girl?"
The general behind him wore a look that was hard to describe.
"It is said that the former Crown Prince was blessed with many helpers and had several fierce generals by his side. What, are you also a female general?"
Or... a concubine who came along for the outing?
"Insolence! Which prefecture's garrison commander are you, daring to betray His Highness!" Mo Lang pointed his longsword at him.
The sharpness and imposing presence of the royal guards were on full display.
The man sneered, "The garrison of Yunshan Prefecture, Liang Feng, this is not betrayal, this is a good general choosing a worthy master."
"Who is the master you have chosen?" Lu Qingqing asked.
Liang Feng was quite straightforward: "Wu Liang, the King of Liaodong!"
"Ha, Wu Liang, the King of Liaodong, isn't he the non-royal king who, having had his fill of seafood, cried and begged the emperor to give him a different fiefdom?"
Liang Feng's face darkened.
A king of a different surname, that's all. Why did you add a "ba" to it?
Does this woman even know how to talk?!
"Enough with the nonsense! Today is your death day!"
Liang Feng waved his hand.
Jin Diandian jumped down from the carriage: "Don't fight, don't fight! We're from the Holy Healer Sect! Let us pass first!"
One of the disciples from the Holy Physician Sect immediately replied, "Fourth Martial Aunt, from today onwards, you have been expelled from the Holy Physician Sect!"
"You, you dare! I have the sect leader's token! From now on, I am the sect leader!" Jin Diandian shouted, taking out the token.
"Master is indeed dead," the man said.
"You idiot, you want to be the sect leader? If it weren't for Master wanting to keep you around, I would have kicked you out long ago!"
"On my command, seize Jin Diandian! The rest of you, kill—"
"Ah! Lu Zhuang, you little wolf cub!"
An arrow shot over, and Jin Diandian covered her head and crawled into the carriage, while the mother and son screamed in terror.
War was imminent. Lu Qingqing shouted, "Wait a minute, Liang Feng! Do you really think Wu Liang is a wise ruler? If you have any concerns or have done something wrong that you're afraid of being punished by His Highness the Crown Prince, I can plead for you. No matter what, I'll guarantee you won't die, okay?"
"It seems you are favored by the Crown Prince. Bring her here; this general intends to present her to the King of Wu!"
Grass!
Lu Qingqing shouted again, "Liang Feng, you're almost dead and you're still thinking about throwing yourself into this or that?"
Do you often experience headaches, irritability, unbearable heat, and a crawling sensation under your skin?
Liang Feng was taken aback, lowered his arm, and stared intently at Lu Qingqing with his slightly bulging eyes.
"I'm telling you, you've been poisoned! If you don't get treatment, your skin will soon develop sores and ulcers, your bones will become weak, and you'll eventually be paralyzed in bed until you die in agony!"
If I'm not mistaken, you must have taken Wushi San!
Only I can cure this poison!
Five-Stone Powder?
No! He didn't! The only thing he took every day was a top-grade health-preserving tonic, which was given to him by the Holy Physician Sect.
However, the woman's description of his symptoms was entirely accurate!
Moreover, there were already signs of sores on his back!
Before he could ask any more questions, Lu Zhuang, Ouyang Bingyan's disciple, interrupted him sharply:
"Nonsense! General Liang, can't you see that this woman is stalling for time and trying to sow discord between us?"
As he spoke, he fired an arrow at Lu Qingqing first.
"Obey my orders—"
His voice stopped abruptly, and he sat upright on his horse.
A throwing knife was stuck in his forehead; it was shot by Mo Lang!
"So noisy!"
"Second Senior Brother!" Ouyang Bingyan's third disciple shouted from the side.
"Kill, kill, kill them—"
Seeing this, Liang Feng could no longer stop and immediately ordered his men to start fighting.
He spurred his horse toward Lu Qingqing, intending to grab her.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he was shot in the back by an arrow.
Then, a hail of arrows rained down, and his men fell one by one.
"Master, it's the young master! The young master has arrived with his men!" Mo Lang shouted, a rare occurrence for him.
Ji Ruyan, shouldn't he be facing off against the Western Liao army now?
Lu Qingqing looked over.
It really was him!
The red cloak blazed fiercely, like a boiling flame.
Hair flying in the wind, a galloping horse chasing the wind and lightning.
He swiftly drew his bow and nocked his arrows, each arrow tearing through the sky with a whistling sound—how majestic and awe-inspiring!
Like a war god descending from the sky!
