Chapter 172 Purple Thunder Rocket, Starry Night Killing (Subscription Request)
In a flash, time flies by.

There were less than two days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival. A shadowy little dragon appeared in Tianxiang Courtyard, Su Lianqing's boudoir.

"Meet the young master."

"How are things getting ready?"

This was naturally Xu Qing's soul leaving the body and coming to Tianxiangyuan.

His body is very weak now.

Even if he took the precious elixir brought back from the Xuantian Treasury, it would take a day or two to restore his Qi and blood. As for returning to his peak state, it would take at least ten days, which was obviously too late. Moreover, the lost life force would be difficult to recover unless the pure Qi from the statue in the Xuantian Treasury was replenished.

All in all, healing King Lin's injuries this time was more difficult than he had expected.

Fortunately, King Lin himself broke through to the level of a martial arts master, and was able to control his qi and blood in a very subtle and mysterious way. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to heal from his injuries.

However, if King Lin wants to truly become a martial arts master, he needs to close himself off for a hundred days to refine his qi and blood into lead and mercury, and perfect his spirit. Among them, he needs many rare medicinal materials to refine elixirs to strengthen his body and replenish his essence, as a supplement to his spirit during the closed-door retreat.

It can be said that every martial arts master needs to consume a lot of resources that ordinary people can hardly imagine. But resources alone are not enough, you have to reach this realm to be qualified to advance.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to taking the imperial examination. First you become a Jinshi and get the qualification to be an official, and then you can talk about becoming an official.

Of course, if you have the strength, you can always gather resources, but you can only reach the realm of a martial arts master by realizing it on your own.

The advantage for Xu Qing this time is that he can use this opportunity, combined with his various methods such as the Heaven-Repairing Hand, to find out some of the secrets of martial arts masters, which will be extremely useful for him to break through to the martial arts master level in the future.

However, King Lin advanced through the path of unity of body and soul, while Xu Qing did not achieve unity of body and soul, but instead practiced both magic and martial arts, which was a more difficult path.

However, the potential of practicing both magic and martial arts is even greater. When one reaches the level of Martial Saint or Ghost Immortal, the future is broader than that of a single Ghost Immortal or Martial Saint. At this level, it is actually easier to advance than to a Ghost Immortal or Martial Saint.

Of course, that's only relatively speaking.

The gains this time are mainly in the long term, but there are a lot of troubles at the moment.

Xu Qing didn't care about being tired and used his mind and soul to arrange the follow-up matters.

Su Lianqing and Xu Qing have reached a rare harmony and tacit understanding. While Xu Qing was treating King Lin's injuries, she used her abilities and did some preliminary work.

After listening to Su Lianqing's report, Xu Qing roughly understood that the enemy's troops were on a small island called Qishan Island, not far from the intersection of Jiangning River and Heishui Lake at the foot of Qixia Mountain.

It belongs to the territory of Jiangning Prefecture, but is on the edge of Jiangning Prefecture.

It is usually very desolate there and is not on the main trade route.

Su Lianqing continued, "I got a batch of Fang Xiandao's purple lightning rockets from Madam Haisha. They just arrived last night. Unfortunately, the Haisha Gang and Fang Xiandao have fallen out, so this batch of purple lightning rockets is still the previous stock."

Of course Xu Qing knew why the Haisha Gang had fallen out with Fang Xiandao. It was because of the trouble he had caused on the Dongming last time.

Boomerang.

However, if we hadn't done that, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly that day.

Now because of this incident, Madam Haisha's voice in the Haisha Gang has been reduced, and Prince Yu seems to be a little suspicious of her.

Even in this situation, the opponent was still able to support a batch of purple thunder rockets, which showed Su Lianqing's skills and he had indeed tamed Madam Haisha.

Su Lianqing is indeed a professional when it comes to doing this kind of thing.

The Purple Thunder Rocket is an arrow developed by Fang Xiandao using purple thunder gunpowder. There are runes engraved with purple thunder gunpowder on this arrow. Once fired, it can explode on the target and is even more effective against evil spirits.

Because there are far more sneaky and evil things overseas than in the Middle-earth, Fang Xiandao naturally has a strong demand in this regard and is more motivated to study these things.

Of course, the purple thunder rockets that Fang Xiandao could sell were already products of the old generation. It was said that they had refined more powerful gunpowder, which had greater physical lethality than the current purple thunder gunpowder, and was smaller in size and lighter in weight.

Xu Qing knew clearly that the Prime Minister and his people were still limited by the times. Once Fang Xiandao's firearms and gunpowder continued to improve, they would counterattack China in the future, and even if the Dayu Dynasty recovered its national strength, it would be very troublesome.

He also didn't expect that the combination of Taoism and firearms would actually be accomplished by Fang Xiandao.

Why is the painting style so unique?

However, gunpowder was originally invented by alchemists.

The Fangxiandao and the alchemists before the Middle Ages are of the same lineage, so it is not surprising that they have carried these traditions forward.

Moreover, these guys focus on studying things to gain knowledge, and have also integrated some of the mysteries of Mohist mechanisms. In addition, the previous dynasty had an expedition to the far west, and the people of Fang Xiandao had also gone there, so their horizons are indeed broader.

If Fang Xiandao had not been dealt such a severe blow during the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, causing him to lose many of his heritage and classics, he would not have spent such a long time recuperating in Southeast Asia.

This is also related to the fact that the early Dayu Dynasty ruled Southeast Asia for a period of time. During that period, it was difficult for Fangxiandao to develop, and later it encountered the invasion of Southeast Asia by Westerners.

Fang Xiandao has finally managed to consolidate his foundation in Nanyang after enduring until now.

Xu Qing asked Su Lianqing some details about the use of the purple thunder rocket. It was not difficult and any archer with a certain level of combat effectiveness could use it.

However, the number of purple thunder rockets is limited and they can only be used in the most critical wave.

Xu Qing: "Have you selected all the archers from Qingfeng Village?"

Qingfeng Village is the camp of General Li Qian. All the troops inside are under the command of General Li Qian, but they are actually Xu Qing's men.

It costs a lot to actually maintain an army. Fortunately, Xu Qing doesn't have any middlemen, so relatively speaking, the treatment of soldiers is much better than in other places.

Of course, of the military pay from the court, only one or two tenths of it reached Li Qianzong, and that was done out of consideration for Xu Qing. If it were an ordinary Qianzong, it would definitely be less than one tenth.

After all, the country is in a difficult situation now and everyone is having a hard time. Out of 10% of the military pay, 30% is less when it is allocated, and 40% is less when it leaves the capital. It is allocated layer by layer and passes through countless hands.

As for military supplies, there were even more shady dealings involved; even the imperial merchants were involved, and the eunuchs in the inner court got a share of the profits.

The emperor could only acquiesce to this.

It can be said that even the emperor himself is trying to undermine the foundation of the Great Yu Dynasty. What else can we say?

Let's all work hard.

This is also the reason why Xu Qing felt that the Prime Minister's reforms were difficult to maintain.

Desire is hard to fill.

No matter how good the Prime Minister is at making money, he can't stop a bunch of parasites that hold him back.

Don’t these people understand that the fall of the Dayu Dynasty will not benefit them?

No, they understand it very well.

The problem is that everyone is doing it, but you are not doing it. So what do you want to do?
The emperor is the emperor of one man, and the world is the world of the gentry and nobles. It has been like this since ancient times.

With the change of dynasties, as long as these big families are not too unlucky, they can always retain some vitality. If they are lucky, they can even do well in the new dynasty.

Unless you meet a lunatic who doesn't follow the rules.

To be honest, if Xu Qing really rebelled and became powerful, even though people like Duke Wei had a big grudge against Xu Qing, at that time, the people who supported Xu Qing the most would probably be old foxes like Duke Wei.

There is no other reason. Xu Qing looks fierce, but he actually abides by the rules. He distributes interests clearly. He is energetic, vibrant and trustworthy.

This kind of people's uprising is much more powerful than those reckless peasants or superstitious cults.

And there are no cultural barriers.

What's more, Xu Qing was from Nanzhili, and was from the same village as them. In the chess game of world struggle, it was basic operation for fellow villagers to stick together.

Xu Qing and Su Lianqing discussed the detailed action plan, and after it was roughly finalized, Xu Qing flew back in spirit. This time, we must teach these evil demons a lesson, so that they can understand what it means that times have changed.

Do you really think Xu Jieyuan is a soft persimmon?
Just making trouble every day?
There are some people you can't afford to offend!
On the other hand, Xinyue Fox is an old demon from more than two hundred years ago. At that time, he joined the Wenxiang Sect in a rebellion. Although he had seen firearms, he had relatively little experience.

Because at that time, the previous dynasty was already extremely corrupt and had serious internal problems.

When it comes to firearms, once the organization fails to keep up, the quality can be imagined. It is easier to kill your own people than to kill the enemy.

Xu Qing actually also wants to do this, but currently lacks some preparation and funds.

He knew that the bigger the event, the more preparation he had to make and the less he had to rush.

Otherwise, if you rush to make a rough outline, the result will be like gathering sand to build a tower, which will be blown away by the wind and you will have to start all over again.

...

...

The spirit and soul transformed into the shadow of a blue dragon and returned to Xu Fu's body.

In fact, it is better for the soul to go find Su Lianqing. He comes and goes without a trace, and there is no trace on his body.

Afterwards, Xu Qing felt weak.

Weakness is actually a feeling relative to the usual state. Compared with ordinary warriors, their qi and blood are still at a crushing level.

At this time, King Lin was undergoing his final recovery in the guest room of the Xu Mansion for an indeterminate period of time.

Xu Qing didn't urge him.

This kind of injury must be treated with caution.

Xu Qing was even mentally prepared that King Lin might not be able to make it to July 15th.

Feng Wu was also beside him at this time. Xu Qing roughly told him about the arrangements for the Ancestor Worship Festival. There were not many things to do and they were not complicated.

According to Su Lianqing's information, the other party was probably holding some kind of ceremony on that small island.

The time to take action is at noon during the ancestor worship festival.

Yang energy is at its strongest at this time.

And the other party’s ceremony must be held at night.

If we act at this time, we will deal a heavy blow to the other party, and it will be difficult to organize a second wave of cult rituals in a short time. If we act earlier, the other party may have a backup plan, which will not only expose our strength, but also make it difficult to solve the problem.

Of course, this will be a great test of Xu Qing's execution ability. If any mistakes are made, there will be no chance to make up for them.

While Xu Qing and Feng Wu were talking, Qiuxiang came over to report that a guest was looking for the master.

Xu Qing nodded, and his expression relaxed.

"Gu Wuji and Ren Tianyou?" Feng Wu had a strange expression.

Naturally, she sensed it with her soul.

These two masters of internal organ training did not deliberately conceal their qi and blood.

Xu Qing: "I found it."

Feng Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "With the help of these two people, this matter should be no problem."

She didn't expect that Xu Qing could invite both of his former enemies to help. Although their relationship was now relaxed and they still had interests in common, Feng Wu was still quite surprised that the other party could come in person to help Xu Qing solve the problem.

She had to admit that her husband was charming.

Xu Qing then went out to meet Gu Wuji and Ren Tianyou.

When we work hard to build our career, we naturally make more friends and fewer enemies.

Moral support from many, scant support!

The leader of the Luo sect is also good at this, but his personal charm and background cannot be compared with Xu Jieyuan. Xu Jieyuan is a serious scholar, the Jieyuan of Nanzhili, and he can move people deeply by just being a little humble. If the leader of the Luo sect does this, it would be like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with ulterior motives.

This is the difference between the same clothes worn by a handsome guy and an ugly guy.

Naturally, there is a dislike between Gu Wuji and Ren Tianyou.

The two met in the living room without even looking at each other.

Seeing Xu Qing coming out, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Of course, Xu Jieyuan is handsome, but they agreed to come and help because of something Xu Qing mentioned in his letter - the Quanzhen Taoist inner alchemy method.

This was Xu Qing's realization, and it was also something the two of them were very eager to obtain.

For Xu Qing, this feeling is not worth hiding. Instead, he can use the two masters of internal medicine to test his ideas.

Moreover, since these two people came to help this time, it would naturally be easier to ask them to help again in the future. With more interactions, it would be impossible not to become Xu Jieyuan's double-flowered red stick.

Especially Gu Wuji, who had no psychological burden at all about doing things for Xu Qing.

He could even make an excuse for himself, saying that it was for the Duke of Wei, to help ease the relationship between him and Xu Qing.

As long as people are willing to deceive themselves, everything will be fine.

With these two great helpers, Xu Qingru got the Dragon and the Phoenix, Jiangning Prefecture could be safe, and Nanzhili...

Not considering it for now.

Xinyuehu and Luojiao leader naturally could not have expected Xu Qing to be so unethical, and they certainly did not expect Ren Tianyou and Gu Wuji to come.

No matter how much they planned, they could never have expected something like this to happen.

It's good that Gu Wuji and Ren Tianyou didn't take advantage of others' misfortune. How could they come here to be Xu Qing's thugs?

The fact is, this kind of thing really happened!
Xu Qing talked with the two for a while, and then took them to pass by King Lin's guest room. The two felt the strong martial arts boxing spirit and the sound of qi and blood moving, and were extremely shocked.

"The aura of a grandmaster?" Their hearts were filled with shock and fear.

Xu Qing accidentally let it slip that with his help, King Lin had already gained a deep understanding of the Grandmaster realm.

This is not lying. It is just selectively telling part of the truth.

Although the two were skeptical, they believed it in exchange for not being cheated. But if they didn't believe it, there would definitely be someone who would believe it!
As a result, the two of them were more willing to work harder for Xu Qing in this matter.

After temporarily settling the two masters, Xu Qing's soul began to leave his body and went into the night sky. The power of the stars of the Seven Northern Constellations began to gather towards Xu Qing's soul.

There is also evil energy gushing out from the ground.

The power of the stars and the evil spirit of the earth, combined with the murderous intent of the Xuanwu constellation, can form a powerful group of star evil. Of course, it can't be compared with the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Sword, but it can have some unexpected effect.

Xu Qing naturally tried his best to make preparations.

After all these operations, the black energy in the little snake of luck in his body was continuously reduced, which proved that his preparations were not in vain.
