Ning Qing followed Ming Qiu all the way to Qingzhou City.

But before going to meet the sect master, Ning Qing also stopped by to take a trip to the post station.

Ming Qiu, she ostensibly cared about Ning Qing's privacy, and did not follow up together.

But whether she was secretly spying on Ning Qing or not, only she knew about it.

Ning Qing walked to the post station and the shopkeeper in charge of the distribution of goods inside, exchanged the message when he took the goods, and took out the package sent by his family from the side of the royal capital.

Although the world has established the rudiments of a postal network, the rate of lost mail and mistaken pick-up is also so high that it is a headache.

However, the former is not allowed to mail anything too valuable, and there is a high probability that there is no problem.

The latter needs to be picked up as soon as the carrier pigeon at the post station informs you.

"I'll see."

Ning Qing opened the cowhide package sent from home, and the first thing that caught his eye was that it was packed in a wooden box, which contained two strings of crystal clear sugar gourds.

"Haven't you given up yet?"

Ning Qing looked at this snack and sighed, and picked up the first letter in the package.

This letter was written by Ning Qing's own sister, Ning Qiu.

This sister is three years younger than Ning Qing... Although his personality is not too stubborn, he will always do something that makes Ning Qing feel tired.

It's like this snack that I'm sending now...

In Ning Qiu's letter, it was written, 'I learned from my brother to make a sugar gourd, and I want my brother to taste it and evaluate it'.

Ning Qing's evaluation is, don't just coat anything with maltose and say it's a snack!

But this time the craft seems to have improved, and the appearance is quite good?

When reading the letter, Ning Qing also glanced at the inside of the wooden box, and the two strings of sugar gourds lying quietly inside had not deteriorated due to the long time of transportation.

Because the wooden box selected by Ning Qiu itself is made of a kind of spiritual wood called 'cold crystal wood', which is a natural fresh-keeping refrigerator.

But Ning Qing didn't like to eat sweets, and the sister who was far away in the royal capital made a special instruction at the back of the letter in order to let Ning Qing eat the two strings of sugar gourds she made.

'Brother, you must not dislike my craft anymore!' The bamboo sticks of these two strings of sugar gourds were begged for by me from the Yuelao Temple! It is said that as long as you can eat the girl you like... You can definitely tie the knot with her and grow old together! ’

Can you definitely tie the knot with the girl you like? Are you doing this with a sugar gourd or... Charming X?

Ning Qing was a little speechless, put away the two strings of sugar gourds for the time being, and then he would have a chance to let the sect master taste them.

Anyway, Ning Qing doesn't really believe in such a thing as Yue Lao Temple's marriage relationship, maybe there is really a god in the heavenly realm.

But if so many people in the temple ask for marriage every day, there will not be so many tragic and embarrassing love stories in the sky.

After Ning Qing finished reading the part of his sister's letter, he carefully looked at what Ning Qiu wrote about his life later.

This part of the content is nothing more than to emphasize that her life has not changed much in the past year, she is still fishing and teasing cats in the mansion, and then goes to the school to learn calligraphy and painting and hundreds of theories.

Ning Qiu also emphasized that her painting attainments have been greatly improved, and even Mr. Teaching praised her for becoming a famous female painter in the future.

At the back of the letter was also attached the bamboo and the boulder that she had drawn with pen and ink, but there was also a howling tiger on the boulder.

"It's still famous, how did this kind of children's painting get into the hall of elegance."

Ning Qing wanted to laugh a little in his heart, and read the last line of the letter.

But the last part made the smile in Ning Qing's heart temporarily retract, and Ning Qiu kept instructing his brother at the end of the letter.

'Brother! I know that you will definitely read your mother's letter in the future, and your mother will definitely speak a little hard, but don't put too much pressure on yourself! ’

"This is a matter related to the lives of the two of us, how can there be no pressure."

Ning Qing was a little speechless and opened the letter sent by his mother.

At the beginning of the letter, it was normal to ask Ning Qing how his life was in the Qingxuan Sword Sect, and then he stepped into the main topic at a very fast speed.

'There are still three years left before our family Xiang Dali royal family dedicates his son, Ning Qing, if you can't establish a martial martial honor in the Qingxuan Sword Sect, you should come back as soon as possible... My mother can entrust someone to arrange for you to enlist in the border army in southern Xinjiang and then find a way to make meritorious contributions. ’

Ning Qing's mood suddenly became a little heavy when he saw his old mother's entrustment.

'The Offering of the Child'... This may be that Ning Qing, as a side branch of the Great Departure Dynasty, bears the curse of the magical 'king's blood'.

In addition to the royal blood, which can give the inheritor a certain probability of inheriting the cultivation qualifications and supernatural powers of the ancestors......

It also had another extremely terrifying effect, which was extremely important for the stability of the entire Dali Dynasty.

That is the founding king of the Great Departure Dynasty from the Emperor of Heaven... It can suppress those who bear the blood of the king to a certain extent.

The stronger the king's blood in the body, the more obvious it was for the Heavenly Emperor to suppress its bloodline.

But fortunately, the royal blood in Ning Qing's body was so thin that it even made Ning Qing's parents suspicious at the time... This child is not to the point where they are born.

Therefore, the blood on the king's blood suppressed Ning Qing should not be felt.

But the other royal bloodlines are different.

Emperor Litian was also very ambitious, and used this characteristic of the king's blood as a tool to expand the territory of the Dali Dynasty.

Originally, there were many powerful countries and tribes with mysterious inheritance...

After the Emperor Litian conquered and suppressed them all, he began to actively intermarry between the royal families.

Nowadays, in the territory of Dali Shenzhou, and even in many surrounding states of Dali, the tradition of 'those who are not the blood of the king cannot be kings' has been continued.

But after all, the number of children from the Emperor of Heaven is limited, and there is a side effect of the king's blood that will lead to low fertility.

This is also the reason why there are only 100 direct descendants thousands of years away from the Emperor of Heaven.

Some of these heirs died on the spot because they had not yet reached their cultivation and could not survive their own father.

So the side branch of the royal family was set up with a 'covenant to give a son'.

According to the provisions of the covenant of offering children, every few decades, the side branch of the royal family must sacrifice one or more heirs with the blood of the king to marry the four sides of Kyushu.

If any of the side branch families wants to exempt themselves from the 'covenant of offering their sons', then someone in the family must have made meritorious contributions in the Dali Dynasty during these years and have enough martial arts to be exempted.

Ning Qing's family has long since declined, and it is so small that there is only one mansion left in the imperial capital, so this covenant of offering a son only needs to offer one heir.

But even if it is an heir, it will be devastating for Ning Qing's family.

In the early years, Ning Qing's father went to the southern Xinjiang town army early in order to deal with this covenant of dedicating his son, but before he could establish any meritorious deeds, he was silent because of an accident.

Since then, the burden of making contributions to his family has fallen on Ning Qing, the only eldest son.

"Alas... It's a big deal for me, who is a brother, to wronged myself, and finally married my sister to the frontier. ”

Ning Qing didn't actually have much pressure now.

Before, King Ningqing's blood was so thin that it was officially certified as a waste material that could not be regarded as a big departure from the royal bloodline.

So the worst-case scenario can only let Ning Qing's frail and sickly sister Ning Qiu marry to the distant frontier.

This is a death sentence for Ning Qiu, a little girl who ran three steps and gasped.

Therefore, the entire Ning family, even Ning Qing himself was under great pressure.

But now that Ning Qing has the Eight Desolations Casting Sword Bone, it is easy to conceive the king blood in his body and make it flourish, and it is easy to reach the standard of 'passing the inspection'.

Thinking about it like this, Ning Qing instantly didn't have any pressure, the big deal was that in the end, Ning Qing would marry far away from the frontier instead of his sister and become a prince of Wencheng or something...
