Master is too ambitious

Ji Qian summoned the system in his sea of ​​consciousness and described how he felt dizzy after watching the chess game and then appeared in the human world. He asked, "What's going on? Am I sleepwalking?" In fact, cultivators seldom dream, and once they do, it is an opportunity as well as a warning.

The system touched its chubby chin and said, "This situation is indeed rare, host." It thought for a moment and said, "If I am not mistaken, host, you have entered a time gap in the past or future."

"Entering a certain time gap?" Ji Qian pondered. In the time gap, the ice and snow he saw were the refugee children struggling to survive. They were the sufferings of the world that he would never see again, either in this world or in his practice.

"That's right, host!" The system said happily, "This is a great opportunity!"

Chance? Ji Qian thought about it, his eyes falling on the chessboard.

"No more! No more!" The old man Bai Yunke, who was holding the white pieces, shouted and threw the chess piece in his hand as if to leave.

The old man holding the black pieces, Qian Nanzhuan, quickly stopped him. He squeezed Bai Yunke with his round body and said, "You can't afford to lose like this! From now on, I, Qian Nanzhuan, will close this door to you!"

Bai Yunke staggered after being pushed by the fat old man. He felt guilty and touched his nose. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "When did I ever default on my debt?" He pointed at Ji Qian who was thinking on the side and said, "Boy, pay the bill for me!"

Ji Qian heard this and thought that Bai Yunke was a good person and often visited him to teach him swordsmanship. They were close friends regardless of age difference, so he smiled and said readily, "No problem!"

Bai Yunke said with a smile: "Okay, okay, our Jiqian is still a straightforward person! Unlike some people, tut tut tut!"

Qian Nanzhuan curled his lips and said, "For an old man as stingy as you, only this kid would be willing to associate with you!" He took the bag of spiritual stones handed to him by Ji Qian, checked it with his spiritual sense, and put it away to make sure it was correct. He said, "How about this, poor old man, tell us a fortune for Master Ji Qian and see where the opportunity lies?"

Ji Qian said "oh" and was quite surprised. The friendship between Qian Nanzhuan and him was purely based on business transactions and they were not very close. He never thought that Qian Nanzhuan would actually help him get a benefit.

Bai Yunke stroked his beard and said without refusing, "Then let me tell your fortune!" Although Bai Yunke is a sword cultivator, he is very good at fortune-telling, but he seldom does it. In his own words, the more you calculate your fate, the worse it becomes. Instead of believing in fate, you might as well believe in the sword in my hand.

Three copper coins engraved with the words "Heaven", "Earth" and "Man" appeared in Bai Yunke's hand. He placed the coins on the table and said, "Ji Qian, just empty your mind and choose one."

Ji Qian put aside all distracting thoughts and reached out casually. A copper coin with the word "人" appeared in his hand. He handed the coin to Bai Yunke and said, "Senior, it's a human!"

Bai Yunke hummed. He saw the people in rebellion, the strategists planning strategies, and the villages living and working in peace and contentment. So he said, "Your chance is in this world. It's better to go now than to wait for a day."

Qian Nanzhuan shouted, "So fast! He didn't even have a farewell drink. How unkind!"

Bai Yunke laughed and mocked: "You are such a person who only goes in and never goes out, do you think you can treat people to drinks?"

Ji Qian didn't think it was fast. The monk's footsteps never stopped. He just bowed and said, "Thank you, two seniors. I will come back to have a drink with you two when I come back to the human world!"

When Qian Nanzhuan heard Ji Qian say this, although he was reluctant to leave this straightforward customer, he also bowed and said, "May you have a prosperous military career."

Bai Yunke just nodded and said, "When you come back, come and discuss swordplay with me again."

Ji Qian nodded, turned into a gentle breeze, and headed towards the human world.

..........

The sky was still very dark, the wind was howling, and the snow was so heavy that it was blinding.

Hu Mazi carried a load of firewood and walked to the county town, hoping to sell it early and get a good price.

The world is in a bad state. Natural disasters have occurred year after year, and we can only harvest a few grains of food all year round. The five people in my family are all starving.

He learned some Kung Fu in his early years and boldly went to the mountains to chop firewood and collect some medicinal herbs, hoping to sell them at a good price in the county town to supplement his family income.

"Old man." A voice came from afar, but Hu Mazi didn't dare to stop. Instead, he quickened his pace and ran, fearing that he had encountered a robber. "Old man, stop for a moment." The voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Hu Mazi was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He looked closely and saw a young man in white clothes and a white fur coat standing in front of him.

"Ghost!" Hu Mazi didn't even want the firewood anymore, and he rolled and crawled back. He regretted it now. He should have listened to his wife and waited until dawn before leaving. Otherwise, how could he meet a ghost in white clothes here!

Ji Qian nodded at Hu Mazi, who froze in place, his eyes rolling around. "Father, I want to ask for directions. Which country, state or prefecture is this?" Ji Qian said with a bow.

"Ask... for directions..." Hu Maziya was trembling, and said, "Great Immortal... this is Tiejiao Town under Yunzhou Prefecture of Xia Country..."

Ji Qian nodded and asked, "I see the snow is very thick. I wonder if my father-in-law's family can still hold on?"

Hu Mazi forced out a laugh that was uglier than crying, and said, "To be honest, I don't have any extra food at home. If the snow continues, I'm afraid my family will freeze to death. That's why I picked firewood and herbs to sell in town."

It looks like the ice and snow are going to become a disaster.

Ji Qian had made up his mind. In the real world, whenever there was a natural disaster such as rain, snow, or earthquake, the higher-ups would almost always respond within a few hours. People would even spontaneously carry out disaster relief and provide assistance to the affected areas, and would never leave the affected people helpless.

However, this is not the present world. From kings and princes to gentry and landlords, how many people would think about the people?

Ji Qian snapped his fingers and said, "You can move, old man." He added, "Thank you, old man. I will give you a little reward."

Hearing this, Hu Mazi's eyes lit up with ecstasy and he kept thanking him. He didn't dare ask what the reward was for fear of angering the immortal. He just saw the young man pick out a small wooden stick from his load of firewood, point his finger, and the stick emits a golden light, and it actually turns into gold. The young man casually threw the gold that had turned from the branch into his arms and disappeared!

Hu Mazi bit it tremblingly. Gold! It really turned into gold! He didn't want any more firewood and ran home like crazy!

Ji Qian started from Tiejiao Town, and did not travel by riding the wind, but traveled like an ordinary person, sometimes following a caravan, sometimes following an escort agency, and sometimes walking alone, and he traveled all over Yunzhou Prefecture.

Due to continuous rain and snow, many towns suffered from the disaster, but the government did not take any measures. The only measure it took was to work with local gentry to distribute some porridge.

Ji Qian was walking on the streets of Hecheng, the capital of Yunzhou Prefecture, which used to be very prosperous. Because it had snowed for more than 20 days, the surrounding towns suffered from the snowstorm, and a large number of refugees poured into the city. The government was afraid that the refugees would cause trouble, so they sent soldiers to drive all the refugees out of the city and built a porridge shop outside the city, and that was the end of it. Now all the shops on the street are closed tightly, for fear that more refugees will come.

Ji Qian found a steamed bun shop that was still setting up shop, ordered a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, and sat down.

"Have you heard that some refugees have attacked the government office?"

"really?!"

"How dare I lie to you, my sister's husband is a policeman!"

"This is going to be uneasy!"

"Oh! It's already like this, how can there be peace?"

Ji Qian listened to the whispers of the two people sitting in the corner. Did the refugees attack the government? Did the peasants revolt? He did not wait any longer and set off immediately.

The snow was still falling, and Ji Qian looked at the gray sky, wondering if he could use some magic to dispel it.

The system poked its head out and reminded: "Host, in the human world, you cannot use magic that defies the heavens, or you will be struck by the heavens!"

Ji Qian sighed and said, "Can I just watch?"

The system pointed at the finger and said, "Host, you can enter the secular world! Many of the people in the sect who practice the "Sutra of Forty-two Chapters" will choose to enter the secular world. Some will take the imperial examinations, some will become famous officials, and some will support the monarch! Host, you can do it too!"

Ji Qian finally understood what he should do!

..........

Three years later, under the command of the coach.

The burly old general's face turned red with anger. He pointed at a middle-aged scholar and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The young man sitting at the top watched the quarrel between the old general and the scholar with a smile on his face, which seemed quite interesting. He listened to them quarreling for a while before raising his hand to stop them, saying, "Old general, don't be angry. Mr. Zhou, don't be angry either. You are all good subjects of my Great Qin."

The veteran and the scribe snorted and turned their heads away.

The young man looked at the young man on his right who was wearing a white coat and a white fur coat, and asked, "What does Ji Qian think?"

Ji Qian bowed and said, "I think neither is possible."

Ji Qian grew up under the red flag after all. In his mind, the army is for the people and the people are for the army. They are inseparable. He stood up and explained his thoughts.

The young man, the King of Qin, listened carefully. Ji Qian's words made sense, but they had not yet truly conquered the country, so some things had to wait and see. After Ji Qian finished speaking, he said, "That makes sense, but some things need to be discussed later." He stood up and said, "You must be hungry, let's go downstairs and eat first?"

After saying this, the King of Qin took the lead and walked out of the main tent.

Ji Qian followed him out.

Three years ago, due to the snow disaster, more and more refugees came, even Shangdu was full of refugees. Because the government did nothing and continued to enjoy themselves, the refugees took the lead in rebellion. Originally, the Xia Kingdom had been suffering from successive natural disasters and the people were living in dire straits. The refugees took the lead and rallied around, and uprisings broke out in various places.

The King of Qin was one of the leaders of the uprising. He was born in a peasant family. His family of more than a dozen people tightened their belts to send him to school. When he was young, he passed the imperial examination and later passed the imperial examination. Unfortunately, he was framed and his fame was revoked. So he learned martial arts from the escort agency and started a business of traveling around the country. Three years ago, his family was hit by a disaster. When he rushed home, his wife, children, old father and mother were all frozen to death. Seeing that the government did nothing, he started an uprising in his hometown.

The King of Qin was a man of great skill and courage. He annexed several cities along the way and established himself as the king. Later, when he was fighting against the government, he was saved by Ji Qian at a critical moment, so he took Ji Qian under his command.

However, Ji Qian did not join the uprising casually. He joined the uprising after observation. He found that among the uprisings in various places, only the King of Qin was a clear-headed leader who cared about his fellow countrymen and should become a wise ruler in the future.

The King of Qin walked in front and said, "Ji Qian, you always have many different opinions. You are right. It is right not to disturb the people and not to trample the rice."

"What farmers care about most are these few grains of food." Ji Qian smiled slightly.

"Then pass the order down." The King of Qin waved his hand and asked the soldiers around him to notify other civil and military officials to go down and attend the meeting.

They walked not far from the entrance of the barracks and heard a noise. Ji Qian could hear it more clearly. It was the sound of a baby crying.

The King of Qin said, "What's going on? Let's go and take a look."

At the door of the tent was a woman holding a baby in her arms, and talking to the soldier guarding the gate. Because there was an order from above not to use violence against ordinary people, the sentry did not dare to do anything and could only scold them.

"What happened?" asked the King of Qin.

When the two sentinels saw that it was the King of Qin and Ji Qian, they saluted and said, "This woman wants to give us her child, but it's a baby girl..."

Ji Qian looked over and saw that the woman had a haggard face and her clothes were full of patches. She lowered her head and patted the child in her arms, coaxing him in a low voice, but the child was crying heartbreakingly, perhaps because of hunger or some other reason.
