You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

"Then why did Master Zhang help me?" Yu Qingxi was a little confused. She could see that Chang Qing didn't like trouble.

Chang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It's just hard to accept. If Xingyang still can't solve its own problems, then I will do it alone. I will get rid of the people who started the war and choose another wise leader to educate and worry about the people of the world."

"If the Three Kingdoms Alliance wants to start a war again, then I will personally go to the Three Kingdoms Alliance to resolve the war, whether by persuasion or suppression, so that everything can be calmed down and all living beings can have peace." Chang Qing changed the way he said it, and naturally would not talk about the inner demons.

Yu Qingxi's pupils shrank. Changqing's tone was very loud, but she felt that Changqing was not lying.

"Master Zhang, do you think I will be the wise leader?" Yu Qingxi's expression changed and he regained his composure, and asked hopefully,

"Maybe and maybe not, it depends on what you do. I will do what I should do, and I hope Your Highness will not let me down." Chang Qing got up and left. It depended on what Yu Qingxi would do next.

The next day, Yu Qingxi found Changqing again and said, "It will take two months to prepare. We will gather at Qinglin Mountain outside the prefecture in two months."

Chang Qing did not stay in Que Mansion. He immediately got up and returned to the stone house. After all, the spiritual energy in the outside world was thin and the progress of cultivation was too slow.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed. Changqing successfully opened up another meridian and officially entered the late stage of meridian expansion. In the next few days, Changqing did not practice. Instead, he was dragged by Yu Linglong to fight all day to hone his combat skills. Time passed quickly and it was finally time to set off.

Chang Qing originally wanted to steal a few cans of tea from Grandpa Zhao to replenish his spiritual energy, but ended up being beaten by Grandpa Zhao.

Finally, after searching the room for a long time, he only took out two stones of different colors that were surrounded by spiritual energy.

"Spirit crystal?" Chang Qing looked the two spirit crystals up and down. They were quite hard in texture and had a strange feel. They didn't feel like stone, but more like skin. It was very strange.

"Spirit crystals are born in places where spiritual energy is liquefied. After tens of thousands of years of pressure from the strata, they condense and form. They are a necessary means of transaction in the world of cultivation and are also of great benefit to cultivation." Yu Linglong said on the side.

Chang Qing put away the spirit crystal in his hand, packed some clothes, mounted his horse and left quickly without asking Grandpa Zhao and Yu Linglong to see him off, as if something was chasing him.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, there was a loud shout from the stone house. When Yu Linglong entered the house, she saw Grandpa Zhao holding the tea barrel with half of it missing, crying without tears. At least four taels were missing, and that four taels was naturally in Changqing's package.

A brown horse with a white forehead was galloping on the official road. On its back sat a man wearing a white long gown inside and a white robe with cloud patterns outside. He was wearing a white tight-fitting skirt on the lower body and a layer of ink-colored gauze on the outermost layer that fluttered in the wind. Moreover, he had a fair complexion and long hair tied into a ponytail, which added a touch of talent to him. Passersby on the road all sighed, "What a young man with fairy-like appearance and ancient style."

This person is Chang Qing. He is wearing a piece of clothing that Yu Linglong has sewn herself. It fits him perfectly. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of, but it doesn’t get dusty or wet in the rain. It looks like a precious piece of clothing.

They had been traveling north for two days. Looking at the people along the way, Changqing felt a surge of anger in his heart. This year was a bumper year, but in some places the trees were barkless for miles, the people were skinny, exchanging their own children for food, and the graves were piled up together. These were symptoms of a year of great disaster.

At night, Changqing was resting in the woods, making a fire to roast the pheasants he had shot. He closed his eyes and was regulating his breathing when he suddenly felt something unusual moving in the bushes around him. He grabbed the wooden sword and approached the bushes. When he got closer, he saw two people in the bushes:

The older one was a boy about seven or eight years old, with a thin body and tattered clothes, but his eyes were unusually bright and clear.

The other one was a little girl of three or four years old, with a dirty face, wearing the same clothes, and a very skinny body. She was staring at the roasted chicken.

Seeing Chang Qing coming over with a sword, the boy was a little nervous and protected the little girl behind him.

"They look like brother and sister. They look like refugees because of their clothes." Chang Qing thought to himself and put down the wooden sword in his hand.

He looked at the two and said, "You also drifted here from the north?"

The little boy's eyes were still full of vigilance. He said, "We have no intention of breaking in here. Let's leave now." Then he was about to pull his sister away.

At this time, a hungry stomach growled, and the little girl took her brother's hand and said, "Brother, I'm hungry!"

Chang Qing laughed, stood up and walked to the fire, saying, "Come here, I'm not a bad person. If you trust me, then eat some with me. It's dangerous in the forest at night, so don't run around."

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat down by the fire. Changqing handed him half a chicken. The two of them didn't know how long they had been hungry, and they finished eating in a short while, their eyes still staring at the remaining half in Changqing's hand. Changqing sighed and handed the rest over, observing from the side. The boy ate very little, and gave most of it to the little girl.

Thinking about how I was the same age as this boy when I first came into this world, but was well taken care of by Grandpa Zhao and Yu Linglong, I couldn't help but sigh about my unfortunate fate.

"Burp~" the little girl burped. Chang Qing knew that the little boy was not full, so he handed over the dry food in the bag. The little boy was a little embarrassed, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally accepted it.

"Thank you, big brother. You are a good person." said the little boy, and the little girl also echoed: "Big brother is a good person!".

"Where are you going next, and where are your parents?" Chang Qing asked.

The little boy's face turned gray, and he spoke in a much quieter voice, "He's gone. He was killed by the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in order to save us. I don't know where my sister and I will go next." The little boy touched the little girl's head.

As if he had thought of something, he said to Chang Qing: "Big brother, which family are you from? I wonder if you are still hiring. I am very capable and not afraid of hardship. As long as big brother provides me with food, that's all." The little boy promoted himself.

Chang Qing was silent for a moment and said, "I am not, I am just an ordinary farmer's child. But I can arrange a place for you to study. What do you think?"

The little boy was a little confused, but he still trusted Chang Qing and nodded, "I believe in big brother, then let's go to school."

The stars shifted, the fire gradually died down, and the sky became bright. After the two washed up, they rode their horses towards the Qinglin Mountain in the distance.

Half a day later, they arrived at Qinglin Mountain on the map. Listening to the little girl's cheerful laughter along the way, Changqing felt that the journey was not so boring after all.

As evening approached, he took the two of them to a nearby inn to rest, and asked the shopkeeper to buy two sets of clothes for them to change into. When they went downstairs for dinner, the two little guys wolfed down their food. Changqing ate some, picked up the teacup and drank tea, listening to the conversations of the people in the hall.

After a while, I felt someone watching me from behind. I turned around and saw the shopkeeper, who kept glancing over here. Changqing thought this must be the person I was meeting. After the two kids finished eating, I let them go to bed first and went to the kitchen at the back. Sure enough, the shopkeeper was waiting there.

Seeing Changqing coming in, he immediately went to greet him and asked respectfully, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Zhang Changqing." Changqing replied calmly.

"Sure enough! I have met Mr. Zhang. I didn't expect him to be so young. I looked at him too much before. Please forgive me." The shopkeeper bowed again.

"Shopkeeper, you don't have to do this, but Miss Qingxi asked you to pass on a message?" Chang Qing helped the shopkeeper up and asked

The shopkeeper handed over a map. "That's right. The princess asked me to give you a map. She said you can find the meeting point by looking at the map."

Chang Qing took the map and thought of something, then said to the shopkeeper, "I have one more thing to trouble you with. The two children I brought with me may need your care for a while. When the time is right, send them to Changyang Town and hand them over to Que Zhihe of the Que family. She knows what to do."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Just leave it to me. I will definitely do it." The shopkeeper patted his chest and promised.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I have several dozen taels of silver here, which will be used as their expenses." Chang Qing took out the gold and silver from the package, put them aside, and left without waiting for the shopkeeper to refuse.
