Chapter 37 Return to the Frontier
Li Qing’s departure was naturally not really about traveling far away in the polar night world. Although he already had a certain ability to protect himself after becoming an external warrior, he did not have enough ability to protect himself. If there is no food, they will still starve to death outside.
After bidding farewell to the Yi Gang and temporarily leaving Obsidian City, Li Qing found a secluded place deep in the mountains and old forests, and returned to Maple Country after a long absence.
Buzz!
Nowadays, shuttling back and forth between the two worlds is no longer a big burden for Li Qing. Even if he is carrying a baggage, he can only breathe a little more.
Maple Country, the land of frontier fortress.
It has now entered late autumn, and the weather around us is gradually starting to become colder.
However, compared with the polar night world, the temperature here can be called warm.
Crash!
A gust of wind and sand swept over the desert, and the strong smell of blood still lingered in the air.
Li Qing, who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands. After gradually adapting to the surrounding light, he slowly opened his eyes.
Tragic! bloody! Corpses everywhere!
This was Li Qing’s first impression of the scene he saw after opening his eyes.
"Is this a war?" Li Qing's expression changed slightly. He got up from the ground. He was surrounded by corpses wrapped in broken armor. There were arrows and broken weapons everywhere on the ground. .
“It seems that all the frontier troops outside the Great Wall have withdrawn. A battle has just been fought here. I really don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck.”
Li Qing let out a long breath, and his heart relaxed.
He originally thought that when he came back this time, he would return to the grain depot of the Wuli Army. It would be a bit difficult to escape from the military camp filled with masters.
Now the border camp guarding the mine is no longer there, and has been replaced by a battlefield, a battlefield where a battle has just been fought.
“We can’t take it lightly. Someone might come to clean up the battlefield later, and the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Who knows when a fight will break out. It’s better to leave as soon as possible now.”
Li Qing muttered to himself while running quickly on the battlefield.
While running, he picked up a broken flag. The flag was still stained with dark red blood, but Li Qing was still able to identify it. It was a flag belonging to the Liang Kingdom.
"As expected, the horse thieves who invaded the frontier must have been ordered by Liang Guo. There is really no peace in the east."
Returning to the world with the sun, Li Qing What I want most at the moment is naturally to find a peaceful and peaceful place to grow slowly, collect materials for brewing medicinal wine, and practice martial arts while forging iron.
Now he is on the eastern border of Feng Kingdom. This is the frontier. Crossing the desert and continuing eastward, we will find Liang Kingdom, which is at war with Feng Kingdom. If we go north, we will see endless horizons. The prairie is home to various grassland tribes.
If he wanted to practice martial arts in a stable way, Li Qing's first choice would definitely not be a place that is currently at war. It would be better to have a place with developed commerce, rich resources and peace.
"Alas, to the east is the Liang Kingdom and to the north is the grassland. We can only look back to Yuan City first. I hope the war can stop as soon as possible."
After the words fell, Li Qing's figure was like an arrow. He rushed up and rushed towards Wangyuan City in the distance.
After running for a long time, when the mottled and thick outline of the city wall in the distance appeared in front of the earth, Li Qing stopped panting.
"Huh! Now during the war, entering the city has become a troublesome thing."
Now Li Qing can be said to have a black household registration, and there is nothing to prove his identity. With his impressive martial arts skills, he might be considered a spy.
Of course, during times of war, refugees themselves were very common, but people like Li Qing were rare. After staying in the polar night world for a year and not seeing the sun all year round, Li Qing's skin has become somewhat fairer, at least it looks much better than the dark blacksmith apprentice before.
In addition, he is also very strong, with muscles that even the clothes covering his body cannot hide.
If someone with this appearance was forced to say they were refugees, it would be impossible for the city defenders to believe it if they were not blind.
At this moment, how to enter the city has become the most critical issue for Li Qing.
Wangyuan City is right in front of you but cannot be entered. This is a majestic pass located on the frontier. It is probably difficult for even the masters of internal strength to overcome it, let alone the current Li Qing.
Just when Li Qing was looking away and sighing, a group of refugees were driven over on the official road in front of him.
"Go faster, don't fucking drag yourself!"
"We will have food to eat when we get to Jinshan Village. If you arrive late, I will have to skin you!"
“Hurry up, if you want to avoid starving to death, use your hands and feet more skillfully!”
Behind this group of refugees, several men on horses dressed like bandits were waving whips, driving the group of refugees forward.
The moment he saw these people, Li Qing knew their identities.
It turned out to be some bandits, and the main city was just ahead. They actually dared to openly rob people and bring them to the stronghold.
That’s why the world is like this now. In troubled times, people’s lives are like grass and grass. These refugees gather under the wall of Wangyuan City all day long. The government will definitely not let them into the city easily, otherwise there will be trouble. A small mess.
This also gave these bandits an opportunity. They robbed these refugees and used them as cattle and horses in the village. They said they would give them food, but in fact they went up the mountain to the end. It’s hard to say what will happen.
The moment he saw these bandits, Li Qing made up his mind.
"Hmph! The bold gangsters dare to rob the people in broad daylight!"
In front of the official road, Li Qing stood upright alone, keeping the refugees and bandits in front of him. They were all stopped.
His tone was full of righteousness, like a young knight who was just starting out and was ready to do justice!
The gangsters on horseback behind the refugees looked at each other, then smiled and asked: "May I ask your name? I, Jinshan Village, cannot bear to see so many refugees starving to death and freezing to death outside the city. They brought them back to the mountain just to keep them alive.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing snorted disdainfully.
“Hmph! You bunch of courageous gangsters are not worthy of knowing my name!”
You are the courageous gangsters who open your mouth and keep silent. Even the Clay Bodhisattva is still angry, let alone These are gangsters who are used to doing evil.
"Damn it, you are such a blind boy. You still want to imitate others in being chivalrous and righteous. I have to skin you today!"
As expected, some people immediately couldn't bear it. After getting down, he immediately waved his riding whip and charged towards Li Qing with fierce eyes.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule.
