The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

Lu Qing saw Song Lan from afar. She was combing through Luo Bu Ma with a smile on her face. It seemed that she had already adapted to this place, and this was good as well.

Without even going over to greet them, they quickly went to the lakeside near the River Cang City to look for Tzu Luo.

It was not really a city, but a large warehouse built behind a hill, with two large lakes on both sides of it, connected to the Shuler River.

Lu Qing led the group to the edge of the lake to dig. They discovered that there were fish swimming in the shallow water. If they remembered correctly, this was the same kind of naked carp that she had eaten back when she came to the smelting workshop.

Thinking about how delicious that fish was, Lu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "No! I have to catch the fish when I get back!"

As the sun was setting, a group of people had gathered a huge pile of Tzu Chi mushrooms, as well as a few pieces of shallow water lotus roots and headed back.

Feng Yi only left behind a bag of mushrooms, and left the rest for the soldiers to send to Jade Gate City. He said that the soldiers over there needed these food more, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to lift up their sabers.

Lu Qing took it for granted. The scene she witnessed on the day she arrived at the Jade Gate Pass could be said to be a shocking one. A man made of iron had lost his salt and became a soft-footed shrimp.

This cart of mushrooms was all sent to the large kitchen with the jade door closed.

Old Man Xia, who was overseeing the kitchen, couldn't stop smiling. He forcefully pulled a few soldiers and ate a few bowls of his Zerg mushroom stew before letting them go.

Of course, there was no lack of Lu Qing's portion. Lu Qing had obtained a large bowl full of pointy lamb and mushrooms, making him lose his appetite …

Lu Qing sighed. She had to put the matter of the frying pan on the agenda.

Before searching for the blacksmith, however, Lu Qing first returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion to find the few pieces of plaster she had brought back from Luo Bu Lake.

There were a lot of beans here, and they were all calling the beans, but they didn't eat much, and most of them were mixed with fodder to feed the horses. It was such a waste that Lu Qing decided to make full use of the beans, extract the oil, make tofu, make soy sauce, and feed the dregs to the pigs to feed the horses.

From that day on, Luiqing would go to the open ground beneath the tower every morning to train with a large group of military men.

She was too weak to dance with those halberds and lances. In the end, it was Fang Jiming who found her two short sabers and started sparring with her sword.

Lu Qing's skill had always been pretty good. After using the two sabers in a casual manner, he had achieved the same result as her Tiger Finger, gradually revealing its power.

Initially, Fang Jiming had been able to casually strike down Lu Qing's saber. After practicing for three days, Lu Qing's saber had never fallen off again.

Before taking his bath, Lu Qing had spent an hour practicing with Yu Mingchuan. Without any weapons, the two of them had simply used their bodies to fight each other. Yu Mingchuan deliberately chose not to use too much strength.

Every day after the fight, Lu Qing would be drenched in sweat. He would then be stripped clean by Yu Mingchuan and tossed into a bathtub and rubbed until his entire body was red.

At night, after washing up, he would fall asleep almost immediately after touching his pillow. There was even one time when Yu Mingchuan fell asleep before he had even finished washing her, so in the end, Yu Mingchuan could only clean her up and carry her to bed.

Half a month passed just like that. Lu Qing's body felt much lighter and lighter. Those training sessions were indeed quite strenuous, but she was saddened by the fact that all of the mushrooms by the lake had been dug out.

During this period of time, Liu Chen returned with several carts of food, a bearded merchant and a group of Western Region guards. That Hu Shang had brought a large number of camels with him, dragging away most of the salt they had made recently. Liu Chen simply explained the situation on the way to Yu Mingchuan and prepared to follow him to the Western Regions.
