Chapter 100 Li Qingge

"Feel sorry."

Zhou Qingshan was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

The Black Cloud City destroyed the Long Ears Tribe and took away thousands of slaves, and there was a blood feud between the tribes.

Those who are not from my tribe must have different hearts.

Before the arrival of Black Cloud City, the human race in this spiritual realm was nothing more than high-quality slaves, dogs and sheep, and was the playthings and tools of the long-eared nobles.

After being slaves for ten thousand years, even their own writing and language have disappeared.

No one is nobler than anyone else.

The blonde girl was so excited when she heard Zhou Qingshan's words that she suddenly knelt down on one knee:
"My Lord, I was born into the human race. We are just civilians and have never participated in any wars. I just followed my mother's guidance and wanted to live a good life in a place without war and peace."

Zhou Qingshan stared at the blonde girl. He could feel the sincerity in her words. He reached out his hand and gently lifted up the girl who was kneeling on the ground. He said in a gentle tone:

"I understand your desire, get up. I am willing to give you a chance to find the peace you mentioned in my territory. But remember, betrayal is an act that will never be tolerated here. If you want to leave, please tell me and I will let you go."

The blonde girl held Zhou Qingshan's hand tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, Lord. I swear, I will never betray your kindness and trust."

Zhou Qingshan smiled slightly, nodded, and then asked: "Now, can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Wu Hui Chunfeng." The blonde girl replied.

Long ears is just a name for the human race, Chunhui tribe is their ethnic name. Those named after the sun, moon and stars are nobles.

Mo Yanqiu told Zhou Qingshan this information in his mind.

Zhou Qingshan nodded, indicating that he had memorized her name: "Remember, my name is Zhou Qingshan."

There was a kind of respect in his voice, which made Wu Huichunfeng feel unprecedentedly at ease.

Zhou Qingshan thought for a moment and said slowly, "I will have someone teach you how to read. If you have any skills you want to learn, you can tell me."

"Thank you, Lord. I will work hard and will not let you down." Wu Huichunfeng's eyes were glistening with tears of gratitude, and his heart was full of expectations for the future.

The mushroom didn't feel anything about this scene. It just kept babbling and looked innocent.

The dwarf goat Lava next to him looked relieved. At least the human in front of him was not a strict lord. He just needed to do some blacksmithing and should be able to live a good life.

Zhou Qingshan turned around and asked, "Lava, can you create a treasure weapon?"

Lava's big nose twitched slightly, and he answered in his unique low voice: "My Lord, I don't have that ability yet."

Dwarf goats are also just a name given by humans, which is to name the slave group according to their characteristics.

Lava is a short man with crooked goat feet and thick hair all over his body. He has human hands and feet, is about one meter tall, and has an extremely strong physique. When Lava speaks, his big nose emits a faint smell of sulfur.

Zhou Qingshan did not show disappointment at Lava's answer, but encouraged him:

"Don't worry, everyone has room to grow. I will provide you with materials and learning opportunities. I hope you can become an excellent blacksmith in Shengfeng Territory. You will not be treated as a slave either."

A dwarf goat blacksmith who can forge a precious weapon might need to sell for thousands of precious yuan.

His entire net worth was only 1,500 yuan, of which 1,000 yuan was given by Che Ji.

After Layan heard this, he nodded deeply. It didn't matter who he was forging iron for. He didn't ask for much, just enough food and no whipping.

Zhou Qingshan touched the mushroom again, his palm sunk directly into it, and it felt like a very soft pillow. Then he said to everyone:

"Okay, go to your room and rest. We have things to do tomorrow."

Wu Huichunfeng and Lava bowed to Zhou Qingshan and followed Gao Feixue out of the room.

It was the first conversation. With such a lord, the environment in Shengfeng Territory would not be too bad, and the uneasiness in my heart disappeared a lot.

The next day.

Changsheng Street.

Zhou Qingshan and his party went to the shop in the east and bought ten books on Jianghu skills, including a sword, an axe, a hammer, a shield, a stick, a halberd, and a bow.

All books can be trained to warriors, and each book costs about ten treasure yuan. Among them, the axe, hammer, and shield are mainly for Zhou Shiqi. See which Jianghu real skill is most suitable for you to practice, and then consider buying the lower-level real skill. That thing is only available in the martial arts hall, and a martial arts training quota in the martial arts hall can be purchased once.

This martial arts hall attaches great importance to the rural lords who rule one side. I don't know what the relationship is between this person's luck and the fog. Black Cloud City expands in all directions. Every rural spiritual realm encountered, even if it is only a mere one mile, must be occupied by a lord and his men.

The precious bow is indeed cheap, costing only fifty precious coins, and is of medium-level precious weapon quality.

A yew wood longbow, wrapped in exotic animal horns, with cloud patterns engraved on the bow.

In order to get this precious bow, Zhou Qingshan visited all the weapon shops before he picked out a usable bow.

These precious bows were not maintained and slowly decayed under the power of time. When Zhou Qingshan tried the bow, either the bowstring broke or the bow body was broken. The owner had to personally change the bowstring of this yew longbow before it could be used.

He also bought one hundred treasure yuan worth of fine iron, hoping to use it to train Lava in making weapons and farm tools. He also spent three hundred treasure yuan to buy twenty sets of fine leather armor.

These weapons, especially the precious weapons and armor, cannot be sold by the Yunhe Chamber of Commerce. You can only ask someone to come to Changsheng Street to buy them.

Come out from Changsheng Street.

Zhou Qingshan counted the treasure yuan and found that he only had 150 treasure yuan left on him.

Behind them was a carriage full of weapons. Wu Hui Chunfeng and Lava were driving the carriage, doing what they could.

The group hurried on and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. They saw a row of majestic and tall black buildings, with people in leather and armor coming and going. This was the power center that handled the affairs of the entire Black Cloud City.

Further back is the inner city's spiritual vein area, where the city lord's hall, martial arts hall, and spiritual weapon family are located.

Zhou Qingshan took Gao Feixue and Mo Yanqiu to the City Lord's Mansion, registered their identities as incoming warriors, and obtained their identity tokens.

The whole process went surprisingly smoothly without any setbacks.

Just one last thing.

Zhou Qingshan led a few people to the most magnificent building in the City Lord's Mansion. Just as he took a step, he was stopped by two Flying Eagle Guards on duty with weapons.

"This is the residence of the City Lord's Mansion. No outsiders are allowed to enter." One of the Flying Eagle Guards spoke in a cold tone, his eyes fixed on Zhou Qingshan. He glanced at the weapons in the hands of the three people and lingered in front of the purple fir wood bow on Zhou Qingshan's body.

Bow and arrow, I haven't seen it for many years.

Zhou Qingshan was neither arrogant nor humble, and said, "I have a rare item to present to the Lord of the Mansion. This matter concerns the clan, so please let the guards know as soon as possible."

"The Lord of the Mansion is busy. If you want to see him, please report the matter to the Censorate. The officials will review it and report it to the higher authorities." Another Flying Eagle Guard ignored him and pointed to a building in the distance.

They heard these words at least eight hundred times if not a thousand times every day. If everyone heard these words, they could see the Palace Master.

The Lord of the Mansion must have died of exhaustion a long time ago.

Zhou Qingshan was stunned, and turned to look at the long line of people that stretched from the building to the outside: "Excuse me, guard, how long will it take?"

"Humph!"

The Eagle Guard's eagle eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of disdain, and he was obviously displeased with Zhou Qingshan's insistence. He replied coldly: "It may take three to five days at the least, or more than half a month at the most. It depends on the speed of the review by the officials of the Imperial Censorate."

Zhou Qingshan's heart tightened. As a lord, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of Shengfeng Territory. It was impossible for him to spend too much time here. Seven days was the limit.

"In that case, I will wait here for the summons from the Palace Master." He said calmly to the Eagle Guard.

Seeing Zhou Qingshan's firm attitude, the Eagle Guards said nothing more. They just glanced at him calmly and continued their guard mission.

In order not to waste time, Zhou Qingshan asked Gao Feixue to line up at the Censorate and report the strange item "sweet potato" they were carrying, hoping to attract the attention of officials.

Time passed by minute by minute, one hour, two hours, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The next day, after practicing martial arts in the morning, the three of them came to wait outside the City Lord's Mansion again. Zhou Qingshan decided in his heart that if he still couldn't see the Lord of the Mansion today or tomorrow, he would have to return to Shengfeng Territory first.

However, even after a morning of waiting, the situation remained unchanged.

By the afternoon, the three had given up hope.

"Eh? Yanqiu and Feixue, why are you two little guys here?"

At this moment, a gentle voice broke the silence of the three people.

The three of them looked up and saw a woman in a plain white dress and with an elegant temperament standing in front of them with a faint smile on her face.

The woman had a very beautiful face, with skin as white as cream, eyebrows as distant mountains, and a pair of clear eyes that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Her hair fell behind her shoulders like a waterfall, lightly tied with a simple ribbon, adding a bit of otherworldly temperament.

Everything around her seemed to have lost its color because of her presence.

When Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue saw the woman, they showed surprise on their faces and saluted hurriedly:
"Master Li, why are you here?"

It turned out that this stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Li Qingge, the mentor of Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue in the martial arts hall.

Li Qingge looked at Zhou Qingshan quietly, her eyes were calm and deep, with a kind of detached tranquility. She suddenly smiled slightly, like a spring breeze blowing on your face, making you feel happy.

Mo Yanqiu stepped forward and introduced respectfully, "Master Li, this is my husband, Zhou Qingshan."

"Hello, Mr. Li." Zhou Qingshan also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted to show his respect.

Hearing Mo Yanqiu's introduction, Li Qingge's eyes flashed with surprise: "Yanqiu, you got married so soon, it's really beyond my expectation."
