Chapter 19 Willing to be a Pawn (Please collect! Please recommend!)
"You still remember the story I told you..."

Mo Yanqiu's words were so loud and deafening that it took Zhou Qingshan a long time to come back to his senses and muttered.

When he first awakened to his innate wisdom, little Zhou Qingshan thought that he was unique in the world, and that he came to this world to crush the gods and immortals with his fists, step on the Buddha, have the whole world bow down to him, and have three thousand and three female confidants.

As for his damaged foundation and weak body, little Zhou Qingshan drank the bitter medicine soup but secretly cheered in his heart.

Isn't this a standard waste of start? !

take off!

It is expected that within a few days, a hermit will fall into trouble here for various reasons, and then everything will go smoothly.

After some investigation, it was discovered that he was actually an ancient holy body that was rarely seen in a thousand years, a natural born king.

The hermit master was overjoyed and would go to great lengths to find some elixir to cure his illness, and would also carefully teach him the unique martial arts.

Next…

The fantasy ends here.

When little Zhou Qingshan woke up, he had a natural arrogance towards everything in Shengfeng Territory, the kind of civilized arrogance that he had towards primitive savages!
They think they come from a more advanced civilization, and are superior to others. They seem to have the perspective of heaven and earth, and look down on everything equally.

'Look down on' this, 'look down on' that, 'look down on' rules, 'look down on' ignorance.

There is no respect for the strong and power!

He was outspoken and had said some outrageous and rebellious things. Zhou's father and mother were worried about his health and did him a lot of favoritism, not daring to scold him too much. In this rural spiritual realm, little Zhou Qingshan was a little devil.

He used a few tricks, formed alliances, and used both kindness and force, and became the king of the children through a little food and stories.

There is not much entertainment here. Basically, during the free time every day, more than a dozen older children would obediently surround little Zhou Qingshan and wait for him to tell them a new story he had made up today. As a result, they all became his little admirers and fanatical fans.

In addition, Xiao Zhou Qingshan treated everyone equally and never took pleasure in bullying the weak, which brought laughter and joy to Shengfeng for a long time.

At that time, Mo Yanqiu was just a nobody with freckles on her face, who was ostracized and dared not go out. Only Zhou Qingshan had clear eyes and never looked down on her. He often invited her out to play and treated her to meals.

But it was the only light in her childhood.

In fact, Xiao Zhou Qingshan had Doctor Mo take his pulse and treat his illness every month. Occasionally, he noticed the timid Mo Yanqiu, and since Doctor Mo had saved his life, he wanted to repay him.

There is no love without reason in this world.

"How dare you forget?"

Mo Yanqiu said solemnly word by word:

"Yan Qiu is willing to follow the young master till death!"

"If you become a lord, Yan Qiu is willing to be the captain of the guard and protect you; if you become a city lord, Yan Qiu is willing to be a general guarding the pass and protect the area; if you become a king, Yan Qiu is willing to be a vanguard soldier and expand the territory!"

After saying that, he suddenly knelt on one knee and bowed to Zhou Qingshan.

The custom of kneeling has not become popular in this world. When commoners meet nobles, they only need to bow their heads and salute without kneeling.

In addition to kneeling to worship heaven and earth, and parents, followers will only kneel to their monarch to show their loyalty when they swear an oath.

Zhou Qingshan was stunned, but he couldn't refuse Mo Yanqiu's move, so he quickly stepped forward to support her and said:

"These are just jokes from childhood. Don't say them outside, or you'll get into trouble."

How could he have such great ambitions? Since his dream was shattered, he knew he could not learn martial arts and understood that this was not a game. The biggest dream in his heart was to live a life of idleness and wait for death.

Mo Yanqiu should be the person most influenced by his modern thoughts. He was too immersed in the play...

It was raised well...but it seems to have gone wrong.

Gao Feixue was stunned by this scene.

Play so big?

Being a follower is an ancient ritual, where everyone prospers together and suffers together, generation after generation. This is even more exaggerated than being a slave.

Before, if Mo Yanqiu couldn't stay in Shengfeng County, he could leave at any time. If he became a retainer, no force outside, big or small, would accept a treacherous follower.

"Yanqiu, don't you want to consider it? This is not..." Gao Feixue spoke quickly, trying to persuade.

"I have made up my mind!!" Mo Yanqiu interrupted Gao Feixue's next words with a firm tone.

This is the reason why she practices martial arts. Without this belief, her martial arts will come to an end.

Moved?
Zhou Qingshan looked at Mo Yanqiu with a determined gaze for a long time without saying a word. He solemnly helped the heroic woman in front of him up. He did not make any promises easily, but just gently wiped the blood off her face.

An ancient saying suddenly popped up in his mind: If you treat me like a national hero, I will repay you like a national hero.

Since Mo Yanqiu is so determined to choose him, he will naturally do his best to cultivate him.

Dare not let it down!

Zhou Qingshan waited for the farmers to finish their meal and leave, then he pulled Mo Yanqiu into the inner room and told her about what had happened in Shengfengling in the past month.

Mainly, he briefly told her a series of things, such as the Liu family's desire for the spiritual realm, his inexplicable attack by strange beasts, and Zhao Gang's broken arm this morning, so that she could have a general assessment of Shengfengling's situation.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xiaoxiao walked into the room and said, "Young Master, everything has been arranged. Each family of the deceased has received a subsidy of 3,000 coins."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhou Qingshan thought for a moment and continued, "If they have children, they can send them to the guard team and we will train them."

Without the family's breadwinner, they would certainly be too busy to handle the spring planting next year. The three farmers also died to protect him.

Besides, some of the guard members were dead or injured, so they needed some new blood.

In fact, as the lord of the spiritual realm, he can arbitrarily recruit villagers in the territory to repair houses and other chores. This is only natural. After all, the fields and resources of the entire spiritual realm belong to the Zhou family, and the villagers are just tenants.

This is an additional tax.

The other spiritual realm lords were more exploitative and basically used the villagers as slaves.

Sometimes Zhou Qingshan felt that he was acting like a very capitalist, but he didn't expect that others exploited him even more harshly, basically leaving only a little food for the villagers and secretly forcing them to be slaves!

"Ah."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said softly, looking depressed. Everything that happened today was too sudden.

Zhou Qingshan noticed that Zhao Xiaoxiao was not in a good state, and said gently: "Xiaoxiao, you should rest early, I will take care of this."

Zhao Xiaoxiao greeted Mo Yanqiu politely and did not choose to rest. Instead, he went to the yard where the guard team was to look after the unconscious Zhao Gang.

Zhou Qingshan looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao's departing back and sighed slightly.

I don't know if rune fishing can produce elixirs that can reconnect broken limbs.

A thought flashed through his mind, and without thinking any more, he turned to look at Gao Feixue: "What's your name, young lady..."

"Gao Feixue." Gao Feixue said lightly.

"Next week in Qingshan."

Zhou Qingshan gave his name and immediately said with a smile, "Miss Feixue, it's late at night. I have someone arrange a guest room for you. Please have a good rest first."

Gao Feixue nodded. He had been traveling since morning and had experienced two fights with strange beasts in the wind and snow. He was indeed mentally exhausted after eating and drinking.

Zhou Qingshan stood up and led the two of them into a house in the outer courtyard. The old lady had already made the bedding and tidied up the house.

After everything was arranged, it was late at night, Zhou Qingshan returned to the main house, closed the door, and entered the Genting Chessboard World to rest.
