The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

"Don't be angry, I was probably poisoned."

"Poisoned? Why didn't the old doctor prescribe some antidote for you, and instead treat you as having been infected by a Gu, allowing you to mend your body and focus on your recovery? " Lu Qing felt a wave of irritation in his heart. If they all believed in Gu worms, then there was no way they would be able to cure the wrong medicine.

"This should be the method of the Gu user. First, use poison to make you think you've been infected by the Gu, even if you remove the bugs, they will make you feel suspicious, and then they will control you." With these words, Yu Mingchuan began to perspire again.

"I'm sure that I got those eggs out, so you should just be poisoned." Luqing used a cloth to wipe the sweat off of him. When the wax beads were sucked into her mouth, she quickly vomited. There was no melting or shattering.

"Luqing, there are licorice in the surroundings of River Cave City. Feng Yi has collected quite a few of them. We can get some tomorrow."

"That's right! The licorice root can cure a hundred poisons, why didn't I think of that! "

As he said this, Lu Qing immediately got up. Just as he was about to put on his clothes and head towards River Canyon, Yu Mingchuan grabbed him.

"I've already gotten some licorice from the old medical officer, and I've added a lot more into today's medicine. I just want to try if it's effective, but it's actually not that painful anymore."

"Really?" Lu Qing's eyes widened. If licorice was really useful, that would be great!

Yu Mingchuan nodded slightly, and smiled at Lu Qing. It was just that his smile was too weak, and Lu Qing found it difficult to bear looking at it.

"Don't be in such a hurry. The poison is slowly dispelling. They'll be waiting for me to take action, and they won't come for a while. We'll just wait from now on."

"Then we'll just wait foolishly for him?"

"It's enough to do what we should do, how can you call it waiting foolishly." Yu Mingchuan rubbed Lu Qing's eyebrows and pulled her into an embrace. "Bring out your skills so they won't be able to return."

Lu Qing nodded. Men who want to harm my father, we'll see!

The next day. After leaving Lu Qing with Huo Jing to take care of Yu Mingchuan, he personally led a large group of people to Mount Qi.

Now that Dunhuang had lost his garrison troops, the Anxi garrison troops had retreated by a large margin and were no longer on guard against them. Thus, under broad daylight, they dared to directly cross Anxi and rush straight towards Mirror Iron Mountain.

The first to pass by was a group of able-bodied men. Lu Qing commanded them to first dig up the coal, and to dig up all the areas that they could find!

However, it was obvious that Lu Qing had overestimated his ability. The area of this coal mine was very wide. They had only dug up a drop of the Nine Ox Oak Ointment, and had already loaded over ten large vehicles.

After digging for three days in a row, Lu Qing felt that it was more than enough. He looked for another group of people to start digging for iron ores in the loose rocks.

This time, it was basically effortless. The wind was already strong in the North, and the pass at the North River was a strong gale. Many of the rock layers had been weakened by the trillions of years of wind erosion.

They didn't even have to dig much before they found a large amount of iron ore by the river.

After pulling a few more carriages back, Lu Qing started to look for the new blacksmiths.

These blacksmiths had already arrived at Jade Gate Pass more than ten days ago. They also came with the news that Jin Dynasty's emperor, Sima Ye, had been captured by Liu Cong of Han Dynasty. Furthermore, he was already located in Liu Cong.

From then on, there was no more Chinese power in the north except for the Hezhou Stinger Liu Kun and some of the other great clans.

To the people of the Central Plains, this news was like a bolt out of the blue. However, to the warriors of the Jade Gate Pass, it was just news. They had long been disappointed with Jin Chen. The result was probably within their expectations.

Lu Qing had no idea what was going on. All she wanted was to cultivate her own land, so all of her energy was still focused on forging steel and forging swords, as well as taking care of Yu Mingchuan.

Those blacksmiths were said to be the best blacksmiths of the Xue family and the best blacksmiths of the Hedong area.

After two days of inspection, Luqing selected two and brought them to the commander-in-chief's residence.

The first thing the two blacksmiths did after entering the residence was to swear poison.

As long as they dared to reveal the technology used to refine steel, the two blacksmiths would spew out all kinds of information, such as the five strikes of lightning, the annihilation of the sect, and so on.

The reason why they were cooperating so well was naturally because they were about to master the art of forging divine weapons. Even if they didn't make a poisonous oath, they definitely wouldn't tell anyone else about it.

Soon after, Lu Qing taught the two how to operate the ironing process.

Were the people of this era able to refine steel? In Han Dynasty, they used the method of stir-frying steel, but the output was too low. Cao Cao had people forge five steel swords and used them for three years.

How could this level of productivity be used in a large-scale war?

It was just to show off a few masterwork weapons to the powerful nobles.

What Lu Qing wanted to do was to establish an army that would be unstoppable, and would carry all these weapons!

From that day onwards, the storeroom of the commander-in-chief's residence was filled with the sounds of clanking.

Yu Mingchuan's body was also gradually recovering. The wound on his arm had long since been removed, but it had only left a shallow mark. However, his body was still slightly injured and somewhat weak.

Lu Qing could clearly feel that Yu Mingchuan's body was no longer as warm as it was before.

In their room, there was always a blazing fire. When they slept at night, Lu Qing would hug Yu Mingchuan to sleep, becoming his water bag.

Han Shuo often came over to complain that Lu Qing was too busy recently to see her, so he didn't want him anymore.

Han Shuo, recently, mother has a very important matter to take care of. You must obediently follow Mr. San Shan and not go anywhere. Your father is sick and I need to take care of him.

Han Shuo suddenly nodded his head. In fact, he saw Yu Tian burning the fire that day when he followed Mr. San Shan on the meeting stage.

These people, Mr. Sanshan said, had no moral sense at all. They wanted to go into the Central Plains and kill the Chinese, occupy the places where the Chinese lived, and rob them of their possessions. They deserved to die.

Although he was trembling in fear from the screams, he still watched as all the flames were extinguished and all the Yu Tian people were burned to death. Only then did they come down from the platform.

On that day, his father must have been sick.

Han Shuo obediently returned to Feng Taikou and Mr. Sanshan's residence. He told Mr. Sanshan everything he knew and promised him that he would be a sensible child and wouldn't disturb his big brother from now on.

Mr. Sanshan stroked his head, and the two of them began to warm themselves around the stove again.

Now, all the jade doors were closed, and all the rooms had this kind of coal furnace. Those blacksmiths who did not need to forge steel into swords all learned to make this kind of coal furnace. It was simple and practical.

Whether it was charcoal or charcoal, both were clean and refreshing. The house would no longer be burning and choking, and no one would ever wake up from inhaling the poisonous gas from the charcoal.

However, they did not know that the furnace was Lu Qing's handiwork, but rather the other party's stone, Ji Ming's, was highly revered.
