Chapter 47 News
A clear and loud rooster crow woke Li Qing up from his deep martial arts training.
The sky was bright and the fire was extinguishing, but Li Qing didn't feel cold at all.
After practicing for a whole night, he was surprised to find that there seemed to be a strange feeling in his meridians.
With the stimulation of thoughts, it flows through the body like a warm current. However, this feeling is very subtle, as thin as a gossamer. If you don't feel it carefully, it is almost difficult to detect.
After trying several times again, Li Qing finally confirmed a fact.
“I have developed internal strength!”
Internal strength!
The iconic thing of internal martial arts is the ability to cultivate internal strength, which is equivalent to the beginning of this internal martial arts.
Aware of the existence of the inner force, Li Qingna screamed with surprise and joy, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Unlike external Kung Fu, Internal Kung Fu is actually very particular about talent. Many people may not be able to develop internal strength even if they have acquired a superior internal martial arts.
This is also the reason why Li Qing temporarily gave up the Turtle Breathing Technique before. It was indeed because the entry was too slow. No matter how hard you try, you can't find the direction.
What he never expected was that when practiced at the same time as the Turtle Breathing Technique and the Golden Body Technique, it would actually have a complementary effect, allowing him to use his inner strength in just one night. Practiced it.
Of course, this must be due to Li Qing’s hard training before.
But even so, if word spread that Li Qing mastered two external Kung Fu and internal Kung Fu that could be practiced at the same time, the whole world would go crazy about it.
"This secret must be kept. If anyone knows about it, I'm afraid even those powerful masters will be unable to sit still!"
He doesn't want to become a public enemy and be hunted down by a bunch of masters all day long. days.
Li Qing, who had developed his internal strength and felt refreshed, went out early in the morning with a lingering smile on his face.
"Good morning, Master Li. Would you like a bowl of wontons?" the owner of the wonton shop next door said with a smile.
Li Qing said with a smile: "Okay! Serve two bowls of wontons and add more oil and spicy!"
Not long after, two steaming bowls of wontons were served. They were sprinkled with red oil and spicy seeds. The aroma was fragrant and could whet people's appetite.
"Master Li, why didn't Xiao Qi come today?" the owner of the wonton shop asked casually.
Hearing this, Li Qing was slightly stunned, then remembered that Qi Kang had left last night, so he subconsciously ordered two bowls of wontons.
"He seems to be saying that there is something going on in his hometown, and he probably won't be returning to Shengtian for a short time." Li Qing's tone became a little calmer, and he started to move.
When the boss saw this, he just smiled, casually put the rag on his shoulders, and left.
While Li Qing was concentrating on eating two bowls of wontons, someone at the next table suddenly shouted excitedly:
"The war is over! The war is over! The imperial court will not fight with Liang Guo!"
>This excited shout attracted the attention of some people at first, but was quickly ignored by other diners.
For the people in Shengtian, in fact, no matter how fierce the fighting at the frontier is, as long as Shengtian is not defeated, it will not affect their mood.
In their opinion, although Liang's army was powerful, there was still a gap compared with Feng Dynasty's Wuli army composed of warriors. They had great confidence in the imperial court.
Li Qing thought about it for a while.
The truce was expected, and both sides should have no plans to take action in the short term.
In today's cold winter, all the horse thieves in the grassland have disappeared. No one on both sides can do anything to the other. There is not much meaning in continuing the fight except for increasing casualties.
The facts are just as Li Qing thought. As the wind and snow became stronger, the grassland horse thieves no longer participated in the war between Liang and Feng. The Liang Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom finally came to an agreement to call off the war in this cold winter.
Previously, Liang Guo used three-bow crossbows to blast open the gate of Wangyuan City on the frontier more than once. Unfortunately, under the fierce defense of Wu Lijun, they could only break the gate but could not seize the city.
In this protracted war, after a long stalemate, both sides finally chose to call it quits and make peace.
Both sides paid a heavy price. The Wuli Army had a total of 18,000 people. After the war, the casualties totaled more than 6,000.
And Liang Guo suffered heavy losses in order to seize the city, with more than 10,000 casualties!
However, most of the people on Wu Lijun's side were warriors. Nearly twenty centurions who were warriors with external strength died, and even a centurion who was a master of internal strength was lost on the battlefield.
These battle reports made the commander-in-chief of the Wu Li Army feel heartbroken and made the imperial court feel quite painful.
"Even the masters of internal energy died on the battlefield. The battlefield is indeed terrible." Li Qing looked at the battlefield information he had just collected personally and couldn't help but sigh.
For the common people, perhaps these casualties are just numbers.
But Li Qing knew that these casualty figures were not just numbers, but a real price, a rather heavy price.
Every time the imperial court trains a soldier of the Wuli Army, it costs a lot of money, especially those who are externally powerful warriors and internally powerful warriors. Each of them is very expensive.
And these soldiers died on the battlefield and had to be awarded generous pensions. This is another heavy price, and they must be paid and cannot be avoided!
"Anyway, the war is over after all." Li Qing slowly put down the information from the frontier and sighed softly.
Without Qi Kang by his side, Li Qing will basically have to do it himself if he wants to collect information from now on.
This made him feel slightly uncomfortable, and suddenly he missed Qi Kang.
In the next few days, Li Qing spent time forging iron in the blacksmith shop, earning longevity for himself, and at the same time, he did not forget to practice martial arts.
Occasionally, he would visit the inn on the next street and learn from the mouths of the drinkers about recent events in the world.
Finally, a piece of news about Xiaocuiling came out.
"There's a dead person! There's a dead person over at Xiaocuishan!"
Hearing this, some people in the world who were drinking at the scene tightened their pupils.
Obviously, many people already know about the recent affairs of Xiaocuiling, and it is no longer a secret.
"Brother, can you tell me something in detail?"
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly what happened over there in Xiaocuiling. It has been so long, but there is news. It's out."
Faced with the crowd's questioning, the person who first broke the news remained mysterious and was not in a hurry to speak.
But the innkeeper was obviously up to something. When he saw this, he immediately said: "Sir, I paid for the wine today. Let me tell you about Xiaocuishan. ”
As soon as he said this, the man showed a satisfied look.
"Hahaha, it's not a secret. I guess you will know it if I don't tell you in a few days."
"That Xiaocuiling."
Please collect it!
