109: Black gold news, will it ruin my future?
Chu Qing felt that forging Black Gold Bone was not difficult.
With the professional panel in hand, as long as he quickly advanced his Cultivation Technique, Black Gold Bone would only be a matter of time.
After burning the Qinghe County rebels, Shiji County became quiet.
There were no rebel scouts.
No rebel teams.
The quarry workers quietly collected bright pearls.
Large amounts of crushed stone were used to repair the roads.
Roads connected Qinghe, the Prefecture City, and several surrounding counties.
Chu Qing felt that in at most a year, the gravel roads would connect several counties.
As for the Prefecture City, it was a bit far.
But, as long as the funds kept up, in three to five years at most, it could also connect to the Prefecture City.
After clearing the Qinghe rebels, Chu Qing's days suddenly became quiet.
The Vice Dean gave him a hundred nourishing ointments as a reward.
Cui Moyang and others also received dozens of nourishing ointments.
They all gave the ointments to Chu Qing.
Adding to what he had accumulated daily, the thousand ointments needed for the Black Water Bone Forging Method were no longer an issue.
time flies:
Chu Qing drank ink daily, applied ointment, and nourished his bones.
During this period, he went to Madam Jin every few days.
And Madam Jin would call Madam Shi over every time.
It was unclear if it was because Chu Qing had eliminated the Qinghe rebels, or because he had forged 365 Golden Tendons.
The cold and arrogant Madam Shi's resistance in front of him slightly weakened.
This gave Chu Qing a great sense of accomplishment.
This day:
Chu Qing returned from Madam Jin's place and received a letter from Tang Wuming.
Qing Ge, I finally received your Dragon Slaying Art.
Fortunately, my A Xin is powerful; otherwise, your masterpiece would surely have been destroyed!
Qing Ge, rest assured, I will definitely follow the Dragon Slaying Art to destroy this corrupt Great Qian Empire.
By the way, I have now mobilized all the fishermen of the Eight Hundred Li Shui Po, and I will definitely find strange fish tendons!
After reading the letter, Chu Qing was silent for a long time.
When did I give Tang Wuming the Dragon Slaying Art?
After a long time, he remembered that he had drunk some wine last time, felt a little excited, and then wrote a thick reply.
He remembered writing a lot of rebellion knowledge at the time.
“Cough cough... Whether it is or not, it actually has nothing to do with me.”
Chu Qing decided to forget about the Dragon Slaying Art.
“Grind the ink!”
The cold maid rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and carefully ground the ink.
Chu Qing picked up his pen and replied:
Little Tang, do your work well.
Whether you rebel or not has nothing to do with me.
As long as you can find the strange great tendons!
Those great tendons are really precious.
By the way, two days ago, I set a fire and burned over ten thousand rebels.
Remember to read more; don't be as degenerate as the rebels here.
Also, if you encounter Zheng Zhixiang, kill him if you can; if not, forget it.
He might hold a grudge against me!
Also, my 365 great tendons are fully forged; those Young Masters of a Prominent Family are not as good as me.
I am—as lonely as snow!
Tens of thousands of words flowed freely.
Most of them were sighs and lamentations about how lonely and bored he was now.
Apply the sealing wax!
Stamp it!
Chu Qing had the melon-faced maid send out the letter.
Not long after, the maid returned and said, “Young Master, the messenger said there was only one letter?”
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and instantly understood that Tang Wuming didn't even have the most basic military medicine.
“How pathetic!”
He smiled and said, “Take my seal and go see Apothecary Li.”
“Tell him to allocate some medicine to the messenger.”
The maid was bewildered, but still did as she was told.
She took Tang Wuming's martial arts servant to find Apothecary Li.
Along the way, the martial arts servant repeatedly thanked the maid.
“Sister, you are so kind!”
“Sister, a person as beautiful and kind-hearted as you is truly rare!”
The melon-faced maid sneered, “Flattering me is useless; flattering my Young Master is what matters!”
Martial arts servant... A few days later:
When Tang Wuming saw his younger brother carrying seven or eight boxes of medicine back, he was overjoyed.
Because he was really short on medicine here.
After reading Chu Qing's reply, all his joy turned into shame and inferiority.
“Two months ago, I wore brocade clothes, had a crowd of servants, and was high above everyone.”
“Chu Qing was just a Mud Leg in coarse clothes and bare feet.”
“I thought his achievements would be limited; I never expected his current achievements to be so great.”
He knew Zheng Zhixiang.
He was very famous.
A few days ago, he heard that Zheng Zhixiang's army had been destroyed.
All the rebels speculated who did it.
He never expected it to be Chu Qing.
“Chu Qing is ruthless!”
“He only suspected Zheng Zhixiang would hold a grudge, so he told me to find a way to kill him?”
“Such a person should only be befriended, not offended.”
Tang Wuming's thoughts raced, and he urged the fishermen to redouble their efforts to check every fish tendon.
At the same time, he also prepared to cultivate a group of dead soldiers to find an opportunity to assassinate Zheng Zhixiang... Martial Academy:
After Chu Qing finished writing to Tang Wuming, he also received bad news:
The servants sent by Cui Moyang and others to Zhou City paid some price and brought back more than twenty taels of Black Gold.
The result was:
They were robbed halfway.
Black Gold was related to Chu Qing's Black Gold Bone Forging Method advancement.
This item was inherently rare.
If it was lost this time, he didn't know when he would be able to get it again.
Chu Qing was furious at the time.
He said to Cui Moyang and others, “No one has ever been able to steal my things.”
“If a master steals a bit of my resources, I'll kill that master.”
“If Wu Fort steals my bright pearls, I'll wipe out Wu Fort's entire Family.”
“Black Gold concerns my future martial Dao.”
“Are they trying to cut off my path?”
Cui Moyang and the others also became anxious.
They had finally managed to repay some of Chu Qing's favor.
But something unexpected happened.
Didn't this make them look incompetent?
In the future, if there were benefits, would Chu Qing still give them to them?
Did they still have the ability to handle things in front of Chu Qing?
“Qing Ge... Don't worry, we will definitely get the Black Gold back as quickly as possible.”
To appease Chu Qing's anger, Cui Moyang and others decided to pay the price, mobilize their Family forces, and fully commit to reclaiming the Black Gold.
Chu Qing was silent, then said after a moment:
“Cui Moyang, Wang Yinyang, Mingyue, you four bring people and come with me to find the Black Gold!”
“Good!”
“No problem!”
Chu Qing looked at Nangong and said in a deep voice:
“Last time we burned the rebel camp, but the rebel experts definitely didn't die.”
“They will retaliate at any time.”
“You must be vigilant!”
Ximen understood Chu Qing's meaning and quickly said, “Qing Ge, don't worry.”
“Even if everyone in Shiji County dies, Madam Jin won't lose a single hair!”
Chu Qing was satisfied.
Madam Jin had given him great help in his initial stages.
Therefore:
Madam Jin could not be harmed.
Chu Qing then called his maids over; “You all watch the house!”
“If anyone bullies you, tell me when I get back.”
The maids nodded.
He thought for a moment, then called Zhao Hongxiu and said, “You'll go on a long trip with me tomorrow.”
Zhao Hongxiu was secretly happy: “Okay, Qing Ge'er!”
These days, she had been working for Chu Qing, and although there were manytrivia, her cultivation had not only not fallen behind but had rapidly improved.
Chu Qing occasionally rewarded her and Lan Lan with some basic resources.
These things were not very useful to Chu Qing.
But, for her, they were already considered top-tier resources.
In less than a month, she had used these resources to forge over two hundred Iron Tendons, a speed and efficiency that far exceeded her imagination.
Lan Lan even said, “Our current treatment is even better than the previous inner disciples!”
And all of this was just by serving Chu Qing well and getting some scraps from him.
She secretly vowed to work diligently.
The more tasks Chu Qing assigned, the happier she was.
