Chapter 4 Horse Thieves

After Yan San left, Li Qing continued to stand in his courtyard, and spent the next few hours on this basic standing skill.

When he was really tired and sleepy, he went back to his room to rest.

When he woke up again, Li Qing was awakened by a knock on the door. He didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and he opened his eyes after the door was knocked three times.

After opening the courtyard door, Yan San brought a pile of iron ingots and a stone slab with mysterious patterns.

"Hehe, Master Li, the Yan family agreed to your request. They are willing to show you a secret book first, and when the farm tools are made, there will be two more copies!" Yan San said with a smile.

Obviously, the Yan family agreed to this transaction very happily, and he also made a lot of money from it.

And from the moment Li Qing saw the stone slab, his eyes were somewhat inseparable from the mysterious patterns carved on it.

"May I ask what kind of kung fu is engraved on this stone slab?" Li Qing moved his eyes away and asked calmly.

"The manager of the Yan family said that this martial art is called Qingluo Leg. It was one of the signature martial arts of Qingluo Martial Arts School in the city. This stone slab was carved by their owner himself!" Yan San introduced it, and then handed the stone slab to Li Qing, and then added: "Of course, the Yan family will take back this stone slab afterwards!"

Taking the heavy stone slab, Li Qing looked at it carefully again.

There is indeed a kind of inexplicable charm on it, and you can feel the energy inside, which does not seem to be fake.

"Okay, I'll take the stone slab. I'm a little tired today. You go back first. Come back to get the cutting knife in seven days." Li Qing nodded and said calmly.

"Okay! Master Li, I'll come again in seven days!" Yan San didn't stay for long, and when he left, he helped Li Qing close the door of the courtyard.

Bang!

After the door was closed, Yan San's original flattering expression immediately changed to a look of contempt and disdain.

After walking away, he muttered: "What a fool, at this time, he actually left the black rye mushroom and practiced this useless thing. Do you really think you can practice anything?"

In the courtyard, the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Li Qing certainly heard this mockery.

He didn't care at all about this, and even wanted to laugh.

Practicing this kind of martial arts may indeed be more time-consuming and difficult to see results, but he has no shortage of time!

He wants to develop silently, and when his martial arts are fully developed, he will kick everyone to death.

"It's okay, even if my aptitude is poor, I can always see some results after practicing for ten or eight years. If it doesn't work, I will forge a few more weapons!"

Li Qing silently made a cruel statement in his heart!

Because his body was really exhausted, Li Qing fell asleep again after returning to the room.

He woke up almost at the right time. During these years as a blacksmith apprentice in the army, he had already practiced a little trick of keeping track of time in his heart, and it was absolutely impossible for him to oversleep.

Leaving the stone tablet with the light legs in the polar night world, he returned to his tent with some iron ingots and the Ancient Mysterious Hammer Technique.

After returning, he had slept for a total of ten hours, and now he had consumed a lot of physical strength and was exhausted.

He turned over and got out of bed, feeling extremely sore all over, especially his legs, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly even when walking.

The sequelae of standing still!

However, although he was tired, Li Qing did feel that his physical strength had improved a little. When he stepped on the ground, he felt down to earth. This was the relay force of the standing still technique affecting him.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

He hadn't eaten for nearly a day, so his stomach naturally protested.

"Alas, if it weren't for the three times the time passing and the poor living environment, I would have wanted to stay in the polar night world forever."

It's not that he hadn't thought about using the polar night world to avoid disaster. When the enemy came, he would go to another world and everything would have nothing to do with him.

However, there is a disadvantage of traveling between two worlds, that is, where you were before traveling, you will still be there after you return!

The border fortress where Wu Lijun is stationed now is a very important stronghold. There is an iron ore mine nearby, and people must be sent to guard it at all times.

If this place is occupied by the enemy, he will have a lot of fun when he comes back.

Maybe he will be caught as a spy and then be severely punished.

Of course, the most important thing about all this is the lack of food in the polar night world. There he has no confidence that he can afford the amount of food he eats after practicing martial arts.

Hungry Li Qing walked out of the tent, and the sky outside was just getting light.

He still took two rice bowls and walked quickly to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the fat man Wu Chong was on duty this morning.

But compared with last night, Wu Chong's face was obviously more worried.

"What's wrong, Fatty Wu?" Li Qing asked.

Then he saw the pile of white steamed buns on the stove, and his eyes glowed green. He was so hungry that he felt that he could eat more than ten or twenty steamed buns at a time.

"The master who taught me to cook was going to check the food of the grain transport team yesterday afternoon. He was supposed to come back last night, but he hasn't come back yet!" Wu Chong couldn't keep his words to himself, and told Li Qing everything.

Li Qing looked around, and no one got up at this time. He grabbed two steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Did anyone deliver food to the wounded camp this morning?"

Wu Chong shook his head, then looked at Li Qing who was stuffing steamed buns into his mouth with surprise, and asked: "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Why are you so hungry? Didn't I give you so much food yesterday?"

Li Qing naturally couldn't tell Wu Pangzi that he had been standing in the other world for a day without eating.

He filled his two rice bowls with food, patted Wu Pangzi on the shoulder, and hurriedly left the kitchen.

The border was really going to be in chaos. If it was not as he expected, the grain transport team was likely to be robbed by horse thieves.

Someone sent food to the wounded camp last night, but no one sent it this morning. The few seriously injured people who came back yesterday afternoon were probably in danger.

But it was beyond Li Qing's expectation that he could hold on for so long. He must be a martial artist with martial arts skills. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot.

The horse thieves in the border were all from the nomadic tribes on the grassland in the east, and they bordered Fengguo and Liangguo at the same time.

It is still midsummer, and it is still a long way from winter. It is really unusual to plunder food and shoot soldiers in such a big way.

This is to make enemies to death! It seems that they are eager for Fengguo to send troops to attack and clean them up.

But will the horse thieves commit suicide easily? Of course not, they are not fools, and there is no benefit in offending Fengguo like this.

Unless the horse thieves collude with Liangguo.

The quick thinking trained in modern times made Li Qing think a lot, but he believed that what he could think of, the high-level officials of Wuli Army could not have thought of.

Next, it depends on the attitude of the court.

"Alas, I just want to be a blacksmith quietly and grow more, why is it so difficult!"
