"Silly girl, if the world was peaceful, I would have wanted to take you out a long time ago, but now the outside world is so chaotic. Do you know who the opponents I will meet this time are?" Yan Liqiang supported Yu Qing's shoulders, took a step back, wiped the tears from the little girl's face with his hand, and said seriously, "Now those who can oppose your master are not just ordinary cats and dogs, not even ordinary masters. They are all vicious and powerful people. If I take you out, if you get into trouble, I will be so heartbroken. Who will serve me tea and water, who will cook for me in the future, don't you think?"
Yu Qing's ears were a little red, and her tears had stopped a little. Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, the young girl felt sweet in her heart, "Sir, didn't you teach me a skill? I've practiced it very well now. If you don't believe me, I'll show you..." As she spoke, the little girl took a step back, her expression solemn, and a dignified aura instantly appeared on her body...
Without waiting for the girl to start practicing, Yan Liqiang quickly pulled her over again and said, "I know my Qing'er is very good, but you silly girl, don't forget what I told you when I taught you this skill. Do you remember?"
Yu Qing nodded seriously, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. "Of course I remember what you taught me, especially the combined sword technique. I will never use it unless my life is at stake. This is a life-saving trick that cannot be known to a third person..."
"It's good that you remember it!" Yan Liqiang nodded, and put one hand on Yu Qing's head again, gently stroking Yu Qing's black hair, with a serious expression on his face, "I haven't seen my Qing'er these days, and I also wish you were by my side. I was thinking about this question all the way back..."
Yu Qing's face turned red. She lowered her head, her voice suddenly became much softer, and she became shy, "Is what you said true, young master?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Yan Liqiang's expression was so serious that he probably had never been so serious even when he met the emperor in the palace. "I have thought of a way to let you stay with me in the future, Qing'er, and I can take you with me when I go out. But this method is a bit hard, and I'm afraid you can't bear it!"
Yu Qing, who had been lowering her head, suddenly raised it and looked at Yan Liqiang with sparkling eyes. Her beautiful face was full of piety. "Qing'er can endure hardships and is willing to endure any hardships. As long as I can go out with you and take care of you in the future, I am not afraid and am willing to do anything by your side!"
"Really?"
Yu Qing nodded vigorously.
Yan Liqiang looked at the silly girl with tenderness in his eyes, "I want to send you, Qing'er, to Lingshan Sect to learn martial arts. When you come back with all your skills, you can be by my side in the future, and I can always take you with me when I go out. But I'm afraid that Qing'er, you can't bear the hardship of learning martial arts!"
After hearing the first half of Yan Liqiang's words, Yu Qing's expression froze slightly, and her brows wrinkled slightly, as if she was struggling. "Young Master... haven't you already taught me a lot of things? Why do you want me to go to Lingshan Sect to learn skills? Can't I practice at home?"
"What I taught you is too little and one-sided. Look at those who have truly become masters and strong men. They have all traveled all over the world and experienced various kinds of training to become masters and strong men. If everyone can become a master and a strong man at home, then all the sects in the world will go bankrupt. Lingshan Sect is one of the four major sects in the world. If you can go to Lingshan Sect to practice, you will definitely be a hundred times stronger than at home. When you have achieved success in your practice, you can come back and be by my side at any time. If I encounter any enemies or opponents, you can also help me, and I will dare to take you out!"
This was the "beautiful lie" that Yan Liqiang came up with on the way back. To be honest, he had been a little conflicted over the past two days. Only after meeting Lian Wushuang and thinking of the proud daughter of the Sword God Sect, did Yan Liqiang gradually make up his mind to send Yu Qing to Lingshan Sect to learn skills. This was not for anything else but to make himself feel at ease. Yan Liqiang felt that Yu Qing was still young and gifted. She must not spend her future life in this deep mansion and be a maid by his side all her life. This beautiful and lovely girl deserved a brighter and more exciting life.
Keeping this little girl by his side is the most selfish thing. Although this selfishness can even make this little girl extremely happy, Yan Liqiang, who has lived two lives, knows what the final result will be. This is like a middle-aged uncle going into love with a high school girl who is both excellent in character and academic performance but inexperienced in the world, and instigating the girl not to go to school, not to take the college entrance examination, and not to follow him after entering university.
There are many kinds of love, and there is a kind of love called fulfillment. I hope you can become better after leaving me, own the whole world, and your life may be as colorful as a rainbow!
With Yu Qing's aptitude for cultivation, her future achievements in Lingshan Sect will definitely not be lower than Lian Wushuang. In the future, the whole world will open its doors to a gifted girl like her. This is the life she deserves!
This vague feeling of first love in her girlhood may become her most beautiful memory in the future with the passage of time!
Yu Qing was frowning in thought, biting her lips, her facial expression changing constantly, so she didn't notice that Yan Liqiang's eyes also revealed a hint of complex and loving emotion when he looked at her.
The little girl suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Yan Liqiang, "Master, do you really want me to go to Lingshan Sect?"
Yan Liqiang showed a bright smile on his face, hiding his slight emotion, and said loudly, "Of course I hope you go!"
"If I go, when can I return to you, sir?" the little girl asked.
"My Qing'er is extremely talented, one in a million. When you become the best among the young disciples of Lingshan Sect, you can come back to help me!"
"Sir, promise not to lie to me!"
"I promise!" Yan Liqiang touched his heart, which was beating strongly in his chest. He felt relieved, a little reluctant and a little sad, but he did not show it.
Yu Qing stared at Yan Liqiang blankly for a few seconds, then her face suddenly became determined and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, Master, if you want me to go to Lingshan Sect, then I will go to Lingshan Sect. When I become the number one disciple of Lingshan Sect, I will come back to help you!"
Yan Liqiang burst into laughter, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed the little girl on the face, "My Qing'er has really grown up. This is my good Qing'er..."
Yan Liqiang's sudden intimacy made the little girl blush. She lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes. It turned out that the master wanted me to learn skills. The higher my skills, the more I can help the master, so the master likes me more...
"Okay, don't just stand there. I just came back tonight and I'm covered in dust. I need to take a shower. Hurry up and show me the right bathroom. When you go to Lingshan Sect in a few days, the new maid won't be as smart and considerate as you..." Yan Liqiang laughed and patted Yu Qing's head.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will prepare it for you right away..." The little girl with a red face looked at Yan Liqiang shyly, and then happily went to work for Yan Liqiang. For her, it seemed that as long as she could be with Yan Liqiang, it was the happiest thing. As for what to do, it didn't matter...
Looking at the little girl's back as she left, Yan Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, "Little girl, when you grow up a little, maybe you will understand my intentions today."
Just as the little girl was preparing for the bathroom, Yan Liqiang had Sima Qingshan, Yan Qing, Yan Hong, Liu Xi and others brought to his study.
When these people saw Yan Liqiang, they became excited.
"My lord, you're okay. That's great. My brothers and I have been discussing this in the past few days. If the people from the Sword God Sect dare to harm you, we will make them regret it in the future..." Meng Hui shouted as soon as he saw Yan Liqiang.
"Hahaha, I've said long ago that your Excellency is fine. We have fought our way through the Imperial Capital City with a massive army. How can those people from the Sword God Sect do anything to your Excellency!" Guo Sida also laughed.
Yan Liqiang smiled and asked everyone to sit down, "Have your families been settled?"
"Thanks to your great fortune, we and the families of the other soldiers arrived in Qiyun County earlier than us. We had a safe journey and have been settled in!" Liu Xitong said to Yan Liqiang while clasping his fists.
"That's good, that's good!" Yan Liqiang nodded, and asked in detail about the resettlement of everyone's family members. After finding that there was indeed no problem, he smiled and said, "You just arrived in Qiyun County these few days. It's not as prosperous as the Imperial Capital. Are you still getting used to it?"
"We're used to it, of course we're used to it. Although the Imperial Capital is prosperous, we were just small figures in the Imperial Mabu Division. To be honest, we didn't have to worry about being laughed at by adults with the little military pay we got every month. Even if we went to brothels, we could only go there a few times. The prosperity didn't have much to do with us. After coming to Qiyun County, we brothers don't feel as depressed as we were in the Imperial Capital before. There are also many things to eat here. For us, as long as our family is stable and we can fill our stomachs, it's enough. Besides, many things in Qiyun County may not be found in the Imperial Capital, just like your number one factory and manufacturing bureau in the world, which are famous all over the world. There's no other place like it..." Liu Xitong said with a smile.
"Hahaha, have you ever visited the world's number one factory and manufacturing bureau?" Yan Liqiang asked.
"I heard that these two places are strictly managed and difficult for ordinary people to enter. The No. 1 factory in the world is in Yan'an Fort. We have only been here for a few days and have only walked past the door and taken a look, but have not seen the inside yet!"
"I have also heard of its fame for a long time, but have never been there. I have been wanting to see the industries under your command for the past few days!" Sima Qingshan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow!"
"That's great..." Zhang Leyan was immediately happy, and the others also grinned and became happy all of a sudden, "I heard that the first factory in the world is full of beautiful embroiderers, without a single man. I have long wanted to go and take a look..."
"Le Yan, you are not married yet. As long as you say that you are following the adults, are you afraid that you can't find a wife?" Qian Dazhu joked.
Everyone burst into laughter...
After chatting for a while and talking about future arrangements, which reassured Liu Xi and the others, Yu Qing came outside the study and said coquettishly, "Sir, the bathroom is ready, you can take a bath..."
Liu Xi and the others looked at each other and stood up at the same time. "Your Excellency has been traveling a lot these past few days. You should rest early today. We will not disturb you anymore!"
"Well, you guys should get ready tonight. Tomorrow morning I will take you to see the world's number one factory, and then you can follow me to Pingxi City!"
Several people clasped their fists towards Yan Liqiang at the same time, "Yes!"
