Chapter 11 Oh no, my knife moved
Li Shiqiong, a descendant of Li Yu, a famous general of the previous dynasty, and the chief leader of the Thirteen States Green Forest, obtained the magical weapon, the Weeping Blood Spear, and gathered the thirty-six Green Forest heroes together at Jingshan to form a sworn brotherhood. He then took control of Tiangang Village with great momentum.

Li Yu also had a son named Li Xuanba, who was said to be born with supernatural powers and a pure heart.

Gu Qingyuan's eyes fell on the man behind Li Shiqiong. He had blond hair, blue eyes, a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks. He looked like a sick ghost and was skinny. His hands and feet were all chained. He was hiding behind Li Shiqiong, with only his head showing to look around.

"It turns out to be Chief Li. My name is Gu Qingyuan. Nice to meet you. Please let your brother come forward." Gu Qingyuan said.

Li Shiqiong pulled over Li Xuanba who was holding his arm tightly and said, "My brother has divine power, so please be careful, Doctor Gu." After that, he gave Li Yuanba careful instructions, as if he was coaxing a child.

Li Yuanba walked forward cautiously, the iron chains rattling as he walked, attracting the attention of passers-by. Li Shiqiong, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, staring at Li Yuanba as if no one was around.

Gu Qingyuan put his hand on Li Xuanba's wrist, looked at his pupils, felt the bones to find his pulse, and had a rough idea in his mind.

"Sorry for the offense." Gu Qingyuan bowed to Li Shiqiong, and the next moment he stretched out his hand and touched Li Xuanba's chest. Li Yuanba seemed to be stimulated. He roared, his eyes widened with anger, and struggled with his hands. The iron chain connecting his hands broke into pieces, fell to the ground, and smashed small holes.

There were cries of surprise from the crowd as well. Li Shiqiong's pupils suddenly shrank and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He let out a powerful burst of energy from his dantian and was about to take action.

Gu Qingyuan remained calm. Seeing Li Yuanba madly raising his fist to attack him, he had anticipated this and reached out to hold Li Yuanba's fist. A powerful force came from his palm, but it was like a drop in the ocean when it fell on Gu Qingyuan.

He pinched Li Xuanba lightly, causing him to cry out in pain. His other hand tapped Li Yuanba's brow and the back of his neck like lightning. Li Xuanba rolled his eyes like a wild beast and fainted. Li Shiqiong quickly caught him.

This person could easily subdue Xuan Ba, what kind of person is he? Li Shiqiong thought to himself as he took over Li Yuanba.

He knew Li Yuanba's supernatural power best. He was like a giant beast. When he went crazy, a single punch from a congenital master would cost him half his life. Even for a master like him, it would take the combined efforts of three to subdue him.

Gu Qingyuan seemed to be unable to see Li Shiqiong's fearful look and said, "I guess Village Master Li should know the essence of true qi, right?"

“Of course I know. True Qi is actually a mixture of essence, energy and spirit.” Upon hearing this, Li Shiqiong calmed his mind and understood.

"That's right," Gu Qingyuan nodded, "your brother Xuanba was born with supernatural power and amazing bones. He is truly born with a diamond body. Most people have enough essence and energy to nourish their spirits, but your brother's essence and energy are too full, which has caused an imbalance and oppressed his consciousness. Therefore, his heart is like a child and his nature is like a naughty boy. If this continues, I'm afraid he will die young. I just broke the essence node in his body with my finger, causing him to go crazy."

Li Shiqiong nodded repeatedly after hearing the first part, and then became a little anxious after hearing the second part: "Is my brother in trouble now?"

"It's okay. I just broke the imbalance of the three treasures in his body and drained away the excess energy. It's like breaking the wrongly grown bones and healing them again." Gu Qingyuan looked at Li Shiqiong and found that he nodded, indicating that he understood. He continued, "You just need to rest for a while and give your consciousness a chance to grow. There will be no problem. Don't worry about the lack of energy. The human body is a very delicate structure. When the spirit is complete, the energy will be sufficient. The consciousness has been suppressed for a long time. When the last shortcoming is made up, your brother may be able to make further progress."

Li Shiqiong was very excited after hearing this. Li Yuanba was his only remaining blood relative in the world. He traveled all over the country and spent all his family wealth to cure this disease, but only got the result that the disease could not be cured by medicine. He did not expect to fulfill his long-cherished wish here.

"Doctor Gu, Xuanba is like my life. Saving Xuanba is like saving me, Li Shiqiong. I cannot repay your kindness. Please accept Li Shiqiong's greetings." He bowed deeply.

How could Gu Qingyuan let him bow down? He raised his hand to support him and said, "Master Li is a rare talent, and your brother is a natural hero. God is merciful, and it is fate that you can meet me."

Li Shiqiong was so excited that he couldn't help but lose his composure, but he was also a man of great stature and power. He calmed down and became the leader of Tiangang Village who dominated the outlaws. "I should repay you for saving my life. If Doctor Gu needs anything, I will not hesitate."

Gu Qingyuan pondered for a while and found that he seemed to have everything he needed. He had enough money to spend, and Li Shiqiong could not help him with his cultivation. Finally, he remembered Huang Xu's occasional work reports. His eyes fell on the crowd around him and said, "Master Li, I really have an unreasonable request." "Please speak, Doctor Gu. Li Shiqiong is all ears." Li Shiqiong replied.

"I heard that Chief Li leads the heroes of the green forest and is in charge of the waterway operations. I would like to ask Chief Li to help me raise some food and fodder, and the money will be paid according to the market price." Gu Qingyuan said.

The Green Forest led by Li Shiqiong were not low-level robbers, which could not make much money. They controlled the water transportation of two rivers that ran through Daxia. The transportation of salt and iron and grain from north to south were all controlled by this group of Green Forest heroes.

After hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, Li Shiqiong did not agree immediately. He was the leader of the Green Forest, with the Green Forest of the North and South Rivers on his shoulders, and his subordinates had to follow him for food.

If Gu Qingyuan wanted some money, he would give it to him even if he had to sell his family fortune, but the water transport involved too much. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Since Divine Doctor Gu has asked, Shiqiong will definitely do his best to do it. Divine Doctor Gu should also know that Daxia is in a turbulent time, and rice and salt are expensive. I can't guarantee the amount of food and grass, I can only say..."

Gu Qingyuan interrupted and said, "Master Li, don't worry, just take it easy for now."

He wanted to buy food and fodder in order to support Qingzhou through this crisis. Once Huang Xu's business was well established and the potato trial was successful, it would be more than enough to support the entire state.

Hearing this, Li Shiqiong's brows relaxed: "Well, Li will definitely make this happen. No deposit is required. The grain and grass will be sold at 80% of the market price, so that others will not say that I, Li Shiqiong, am ungrateful."

The two men discussed the rules on the street, and only when it was completely dark did Li Shiqiong say goodbye and leave.

After walking out of the city gate, Li Shiqiong, who was carrying Li Xuanba on his back, turned around and looked at the Qingzhou City, which was in ruins. It was difficult for many people to do even a little bit to benefit the world, let alone someone like Gu Qingyuan. Thinking of the reputation of benevolence praised by the people, Li Shiqiong, who was so conceited, couldn't help but sigh: "Gu Qingyuan, your benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, the situation is set, I am not as good as him!"

"Li Shiqiong is going to transport food for us?" Gu Qingyuan was just about to go back when Huang Xu appeared out of nowhere, followed by Jian Zheng who seemed to be in a trance with a shocked look on his face.

"Where did you come from? Yes, do you know Li Shiqiong? He said he would sell us grain at 80% of the market price." Gu Qingyuan said.

"How could I not know such a person? He is now gathering his men and waiting for the right time. As long as the world becomes chaotic, he will be a hero competing for the Central Plains." Huang Xu looked confident.

Gu Qingyuan didn't care whether he would compete for the throne or not. He also knew about Huang Xu's various tricks to secretly make a name for himself.

Gu Qingyuan knew his own worth. Being a rich landlord and marrying ten or eight concubines was fine, but being an emperor, he had to hold meetings every now and then, review memorials until late at night, from seven in the morning to nine in the evening, without a break all year round. Sorry, I cannot accept this opportunity.

It is impossible for him to rebel. Now Gu Qingyuan is just waiting for a hero to emerge and defeat him, and then he will surrender smoothly. Whoever wants to take over this mess can do so. It is impossible for him, Gu Qingyuan, to do so.

By the way, is there anyone who can defeat me? Gu Qingyuan suddenly thought of this question.

"Never mind. The mountain will naturally become straight when it reaches the car. Old Huang, why did you come to see me?" Gu Qingyuan asked, putting aside his worries.

"Isn't this the time to get to the mountain? Oh, yes, benefactor, you should go and have a look. The knife in your room is moving and emitting divine light." Huang Xu said.

"What?"
