Chapter 332: Friendship
Under the Fusang tree, a lonely figure is reflected.
Qingluan sat alone under the tree, bowing his head and not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking?
Failure is not a pleasant taste, especially when it is so complete that there is no room for relaxation.
Yu Qing wanted to go to comfort her, but was stopped by the Great Elder of Shushan.
"Let's leave her alone!"
The Great Elder of Shushan touched his beard, sighed slightly, and left here with Yu Qing.
"Great Elder, what is 'Heavenly Overthrow'?"
The surroundings were empty, except for the two of them, there were only floating clouds and green pines.
"After the wind, he assisted the Yellow Emperor and leveled the rebellion of Chiyou to determine all directions. According to legend, there are many wonderful methods hidden in the "Grip Sutra" created by the Wind Queen, and the "Heavenly Cover" is one of them. β
"But isn't the Grip Sutra already lost?"
"Indeed!" The Great Elder of Shushan nodded, "However, there are also legends that those who obtained the true meaning of the Taoists in later generations wrote a few fragmentary books, from which those who are destined can understand the wonderful teachings contained in the "Grip the Wonder Sutra". β
In the past, the Great Elder of Shushan also thought that this was just a legend, but when he saw it with his own eyes today, he had to believe that it might be true.
"Does this Hanyang-kun have such a chance?"
The Great Elder of Shushan shook his head, not very sure.
"The relationship between Taoism, Yin and Yang and Shushan is very complicated, and it is not so easy to explain clearly. Especially the Yin and Yang Family, in the past five hundred years, the sword has gone sideways, creating some powerful forbidden arts, and even using the methods of the former enemy. β
"The Great Elder is talking about Chiyou?"
When Yu Qing mentioned this name, the face of the Great Elder of Shushan changed.
"Silence!"
Yu Qing didn't understand why this god of war a long time ago would make today's Great Elder of Shushan talk about it.
"Although time has passed, his strength is still beyond the imagination of many people today. Some of my Shushan witchcraft is also inextricably related to it. β
Perhaps this topic was too heavy, and the Great Elder of Shushan changed the topic.
"ββHalf a month later, you brought 10,000 brocades and sent them to Nanzhengdi."
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, a little distressed, after all, this is a considerable amount of wealth, even Shushan, which is also unbearable.
"I finally agreed to this competition. Qingluan represents Shushan, and she lost, that is, Shushan lost. β
Yu Qing nodded, no matter how she said it, her daughter-in-law was defeated, so she had to pay it back.
....................
It's been a long time, Qingluan has been staying under the tree, as if he has been hit by something.
Yu Qing was a little worried, but finally went to take a look.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the figure under the tree was a little weak after all. Yu Qing walked over, a little distressed, as if she wanted to hold it in her arms at this moment.
It's just that Yu Qing hasn't approached yet, Qingluan has been raised her head, her face is red at the moment, her hair is messy, and the corners of her eyebrows are much softer, not as sharp as in the past.
"Isn't it ridiculous that I look like this now?"
"How so?" Yu Qing looked at Qingluan and was very sincere, "You are the loveliest in my heart." β
"Really?"
Qingluan was teary-eyed and a little aggrieved.
"I just like you, no matter what you look like."
Yu Qing wiped her eyes, and her face showed a distressed look.
"Isn't it just a temporary loss, don't be discouraged, let's practice our martial arts well, and then find that Qin man to compete."
"Woo ......"
Qingluan threw herself into Yu Qing's arms and cried uncontrollably.
β¦β¦

Nan Zhengdi.
The autumn rain continued, and the rain flowed down from the roof ridge and ticked on the bluestone ground.
Zhao Shuang snorted and was handling official business in the study.
Bai Feng came from outside, stopped ten steps in front of the desk, and arched his hand.
"Lord, the people of Shushan are here."
Zhao Shuang raised his head and asked.
"What's the matter?"
"Yu Qing, who led them, said that he came with 10,000 brocades to fulfill his promise."
Zhao Shuang smiled, he didn't expect the people in Shushan to be really happy.
"Let's go!"
When he saw Yu Qing again, Zhao Shuang thought that the other party would look bitter and hateful. After all, this 10,000 pieces of brocade is also a big expense for a big force like Shushan.
It's just that what Zhao Shuang didn't expect at all was that Yu Qing was completely smiling, and the spring breeze on his face was proud, as if he was 'spending candles in the cave room again'.
"Your Majesty, I have promised to bring 10,000 pieces of brocade."
Yu Qing's voice was loud and high-spirited.
"The bet was a joke. Since Shushan sent 10,000 pieces of brocade, then Benjun naturally had to reciprocate - 10,000 grains. β
Bartering is a very common means of exchange in the land of Shushan, where the currencies of various countries are not used on a large scale.
If you are in a big city like Xianyang, the price of 10,000 pieces of grain is far less than that of 10,000 pieces of brocade. But the problem is that this is the land of Bashu, where food is most scarce.
Most of the surplus grain produced in the most fertile places in Shu was supplied to the Qin army, and very little flowed into these people's places. Because of this, they are very short of food.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Yu Qing was very grateful, which made Zhao Shuang even more puzzled. Because of this gratitude, there is a meaning that Zhao Shuang can't understand.
After some conversation, Zhao Shuang found that although Yu Qing was conservative, he was very knowledgeable. The attitude towards Shushan's cooperation with him is not as decisive as it used to be.
And Yu Qing also seems to have found that this young monarch is not like the stereotypical image of the traditional Qin army, on the contrary, he has a lot of subtle insights into the situation of Shushan.
For a while, they talked from morning to evening, and Zhao Shuang finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Yu, I have something I don't understand."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Not long ago, I was at odds with your wife and was defeated. Why can't Brother Yu see a trace of resentment? β
Yu Qing was silent, and just when Zhao Shuang thought that he was rude, Yu Qing gave him a dumbfounded answer.
"Well played!"
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Qing was flying and gushing.
For a long time, Yu Qing, as a husband, was pressed by Qingluan's wife, and her life was very dull and even a little depressed. However, since Qingluan was defeated by Zhao Shuang, her whole person seems to have changed, not as flamboyant and domineering as before, but gentle, and took the initiative to be a guy, so that Yu Qing finally felt at home.
"For this, I would like to thank you for taking a good hand and teaching this girl a good lesson!"
Yu Qing complained. He couldn't beat it himself, but someone could.
"You don't know, that girl used to annoy me...... Dancing with knives and guns all day long, not doing housework, and children don't care about ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Shuang looked at Yu Qing in front of him, and finally knew what the source of their friendship was.
