The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

"It's okay, you can learn slowly." Ruan Xiaojiu said indifferently.

"Your Highness, you don't want me to do this myself, do you?" The city lord hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I can't do this. I can't do this."

"Really? What if you use your son's life in exchange?" Ruan Xiaojiu said in a deep voice after finishing the last bite of food.

The city lord's face froze, "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Although he was timid, he couldn't let others control him in everything.

Ruan Xiaojiu glanced at the city lord calmly. "I have no interest in threatening someone who has no power to harm me. Your son died once, and if I'm not mistaken, he'll die again soon, and it won't be long before he's beyond saving. I can only save him now, but I'm using his life as a bargaining chip. If you don't trust me, or if you can't complete the task I've assigned you, then that's another matter."

Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu's serious expression, the City Lord felt he wasn't lying. He felt a little uncertain. His son had always been in good health, so how could he have died before? How could he not have known about this? However, the City Lord tried to recall his son's condition over the past two days, and his expression gradually grew worried. Qingyun had indeed looked unwell and his spirits hadn't been as good as before. Could it be... No, he had to go find Qingyun and ask him clearly, to confirm the truth.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Ruan Xiaojiu and said, "Your Highness, I still need to verify this matter. Please wait a moment?"

Ruan Xiaojiu wiped his mouth, leaned back in the chair, and waved his hand, "Go ahead."

The city lord hurriedly left Ruan Xiaojiu's yard and went to meet Liu Qingyun.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his son lying on the bed. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken, looking like a dead man.

He was startled, but didn't dare show his panic. He could only stride over and asked with concern, "Qingyun, why do you look so bad today? Are you sick or feeling unwell?"

Liu Qingyun just felt dazed and listless these two days. He didn't even have the strength to get dressed, and he often forgot things temporarily. He knew this was abnormal, but he didn't know what was going on.

He also thought that he would go see that adult when he had time and ask him what was going on.

"Dad, I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest and I'm a little sleepy. Don't worry."

"If you feel unwell, go see a doctor. Don't delay. Look at what you've become now. Dad will go get a doctor for you."

He was about to leave when Liu Qingyun stopped him, "Dad, don't go. I'm really fine. I just need to lie down for a while."

Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu's anxious attempts to stop him, the city lord had a rough idea. It had been the same two days before. He had vehemently objected to calling a doctor. It seemed Qingyun was indeed suffering from a problem. Thinking of Ruan Xiaojiu's claim that Qingyun had died once before, he felt a pang of grief. He had no idea his son had suffered such a serious accident. He made an excuse, telling him to get some rest, and left.

He walked out of the room and quickly went to Ruan Xiaojiu's yard.

Liu Qingyun lay back on the bed. He didn't dare to see a doctor. His heart had stopped beating long ago. Now this body was just a container for that adult's yang energy.

The city lord ran so hard that sweat broke out on his forehead. As soon as he entered the dining room, he knelt in front of Ruan Xiaojiu and said, "Please, Your Majesty, save my son's life."

"Get up, no problem!" Ruan Xiaojiu's lips curled up in satisfaction.

Two days later.

"Hurry up and send them to these islands in batches." He took out a simple map, which marked the direction to go after setting out to sea and how long it would take the ship to arrive. The ten islands were clearly written.

The city lord took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to handle this matter."

Ever since Ruan Xiaojiu treated his son, his son's complexion has indeed improved. The city lord is really grateful to Ruan Xiaojiu.

Luo Shu also helped transport the soldiers. It was not an easy task to transport so many soldiers to the island. It was a huge project that could not be taken lightly. Any mistake would cause everyone on the ship to die in the sea.

"They will be the labor force of the Great Qin in the future. The Great Qin does not support idlers. You must visit the island from time to time to monitor their progress. They will also be a powerful source of resources for the Qin State in the future."

Ruan Xiaojiu was also worried that something might go wrong, so he sternly warned the city lord to keep it in mind.

"After a month, when they regain consciousness, tell them that they will only be given food for seven days, and that they will be self-sufficient in food thereafter."

"With so many people, they will definitely face the situation of having no houses and no daily necessities when they first go there. Will many people starve to death if they try to be self-sufficient, or will many people die of illness because they cannot adapt to the current situation?" The city lord said to Ruan Xiaojiu with some concern. He was afraid that few people would survive in the end.

"Survival of the fittest. If they can't overcome this little difficulty, death is only a matter of time." The city lord sighed. This was forcing them to become stronger.

"I have selected thirty stewards to manage the people on the islands, three per island. Those who disobey will be killed. If there is a civil unrest that cannot be managed, they will send signal flares. You will send reinforcements to help them resolve the situation."

Ruan Xiaojiu spoke in great detail, but the city lord felt pressured after hearing it, and felt that this matter would cause great trouble later on.

Besides, his ability is limited and he is afraid that he cannot manage it, but he cannot say it.

Ruan Xiaojiu seemed to see the city lord's worry. "Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. Nothing will go wrong. You'll just be responsible for taking care of their income. I'll dispatch someone else from the capital to take charge of the military."

The city lord nodded, but he was still a little worried.

"If you handle this matter well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Then, Ruan Xiaojiu took out thirty antidotes and said, "This is the antidote for the thirty stewards. They have already taken the poison." Then he handed the medicine to the city lord.

"Give them an antidote every three months. I will have it delivered regularly. Tell them that if they don't take it, they will die in agony."

The city lord calmly took it and put it away, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to handle this matter." Just because Your Highness saved his son, he must do his best.

Ruan Xiaojiu left after giving his instructions, without paying any attention to the city lord's emotions.

The city lord looked at Ruan Xiaojiu's departing back, sighed, and turned around helplessly to continue his busy work.

Ruan Xiaojiu certainly knew that the city lord could not manage so many people, and she was not confident in letting a city lord without any military power to manage the city.

She had asked Mo Ka to use his spiritual sense to give those 300,000 people a psychological hint, asking them to work obediently, otherwise they would die.

It has to be said that the magic card's mental attack and control capabilities helped Ruan Xiaojiu save a lot of trouble.

After everything was explained clearly, Ruan Xiaojiu decided to return to the capital. Calculating the time, Di Jingchen had been detoxifying for five or six days and should have been finished, but why hadn't he come out yet?
