Yes, only rulers and people with interests will care more about the concept of family and country. For ordinary people like Lu Yuan, what does it matter? As long as they can have a quiet environment to live, they will be satisfied. Besides, Shang is the largest country on the continent and the most powerful. With his protection in the future, no country will dare to conquer it.
In the future, as long as the Great Shang does not decline, the people of the more than ten cities in Ji Kingdom that he rules will be able to avoid the ravages of war.
The many kingdoms entrusted by the Great Shang are not at peace. Most of them have frequent conflicts on weekdays, and it is very annoying for you to fight against each other. The reasons for this are small and big. Even the Great Shang is too lazy to take care of these trivial matters, as long as they are normal. Pay tribute, and even the Shang king may not know that some small countries have perished.
There are also many foreign countries located on the frontier, serving as the wings of great merchants. They have been fighting with foreign races all year round. The cruelty of war is happening all the time. The survival of ordinary people is much more difficult than in Middle-earth.
Therefore, although Ji Kingdom was occupied and ruled by Shang this time, for many people, there was no disturbance in their hearts, and many people even cheered. After all, Shang was the co-owner of the world and the suzerain of Ji Kingdom. At this moment It can be regarded as a return to the embrace of the sovereign country.
Jiang Chen was thinking about how powerful the Shang Dynasty was. Not to mention whether King Shang's longevity was approaching, he had carried out a series of tyrannical acts one after another, and he was eager to conquer. Not only the country of Ji suffered, but also some small countries could not escape the clutches of the King of Shang. But the world was opposed to this. There are still very few voices. He was thinking that even if King Shang passed away because of Shou Yuan, Dashang lost one of the strongest men in the world, but in terms of the foundation accumulated by Dashang, not to mention other things, the eight heavenly kings who ruled the country alone If you suppress one side, it is enough to suppress everything.
So if Ji Chengyue wants to rely on Zhou Lai to restore the country, is the chance really good? Although her cheap senior sister has extraordinary strength, can she really succeed? She has a relationship with her because of her master. If she gets involved in this in the future, Such a big thing, where should I go?
With the World Pearl in hand, his goals are no longer limited to everything in the world. If the previous determination to follow Ji Chengyue to restore the country has become much weaker at this moment, the feeling cannot be explained. It seems that he has no interest in these battles and just wants to rely on the World Pearl to pursue the avenue.
Thinking about these things made Jiang Chen's mind a little confused. He didn't know what to do for a while. With his own strength, he couldn't get involved in this general trend at the moment. He might as well take it one step at a time. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw something in the distance. The sound of horse hooves was heard from the city lord's palace, and the sound was overwhelming. Countless soldiers came out of it, forming several long dragons, surrounding several cars in the middle and driving away.
Suddenly seeing the movement in the City Lord's Mansion, someone on the side of Zhike Villa suddenly exclaimed: "It's the car driven by City Lord Ji. It seems that the Heavenly King of Dashang Town is about to arrive. I'll go to greet him quickly so that I can admire the power of the King."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd started to harass. In an instant, Zhike Villa followed the previous voice and followed the previous voice, and followed the car of the City Lord's Mansion out of the city from a distance.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen also said to Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, let's go and see the excitement! If we can see the elegance of the King of Zhenguo, it will be a gain in knowledge."
"okay!"
It could be seen that Lu Yuan was even more excited than Jiang Chen. He quickly led the way and led Jiang Chen to follow the crowd. The team grew stronger along the way, and warriors continued to join in. It could be said that warriors from all over the city would gather. This is not an exaggeration here. Fortunately, there are soldiers along the road maintaining order. Although there are many people rushing to watch the excitement, there is no chaos.
The warriors spontaneously formed a team, and the uncultivated common people were clearly separated from the warriors because of fear. Although the common people were very interested in the major events in Sang City, because there were too many warriors, there were only A few brave people dared to follow.
Outside Nancheng!
In addition to a road out of the city, there are mulberry trees everywhere. The green sea of mulberry trees comes into view. This is the source of the city's economy and can be used as raw materials for making mulberry medicine. At this time, it has not yet arrived. It is the season for picking mulberry trees, but you can feel the faint vitality gestating in them. The overflowing breath makes the warriors present feel refreshed. Have all the warriors who were still tending the mulberry fields been called back? They have stopped temporarily. Work.
The avenue was covered with red carpet and stretched for several miles. Soldiers were all wearing talisman armor and holding silver spears. They stood five steps along the avenue, blocking the warriors who came to watch the excitement from the road.
However, after a while, the driver of the City Lord's Mansion continued along the road without any sign of stopping. He thought he was going to greet the King of the Kingdom. When he got here, Jiang Chen and all the people who followed him to watch the excitement were all stopped. Blocked in place, I can only wait from a distance, even the road can't pass.
He led Lu Yuan to move his position and walked to a remote location. Although it was far away, fortunately, the field of view was much wider than the previous place. He held his breath and waited quietly like everyone else, watching. Looking at Lu Yuan, he found that he was among many warriors. He was not afraid at all, but was extremely excited, which surprised Jiang Chen.
Then he asked: "Lu Yuan, have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Lu Yuan, who was absent-minded, heard Jiang Chen's question and just woke up. He smiled awkwardly and saw that Jiang Chen didn't care much. He said, "I have practiced some basic foundation-building skills with the martial arts hall in the city. However, the villain’s qualifications are too poor. It has been a year since he entered the martial arts hall, and he has not even learned the most basic Tiger and Crane Foundation Establishment Fist, and it is even further away to open up the acupoints.”
Lu Yuan touched his head and looked at Jiang Chen with a helpless smile.
The martial arts hall he mentioned is a place where some warriors in the city teach ordinary people to practice martial arts. Although martial arts are spread all over the world, as long as ordinary people can practice martial arts, not everyone can practice this kind of elite method. Not to mention whether ordinary people can afford training resources, just reading, knowing the acupuncture points of the human body, and the basic knowledge of yin and yang and the five elements can eliminate 90% of people. Martial arts has been developed for thousands of years, and now, training The ratio of martial arts practitioners to ordinary people is only one to one hundred, which means that only one out of a hundred ordinary people practices martial arts. This is still the ratio in Middle-earth. The ratio of martial arts training in other places is even higher. Low.
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Yuan with doubts on his face and asked, "I think you have good bones, but why haven't you learned even simple basic boxing skills in a year?"
Lu Yuan's expression dimmed, and he lowered his head and said, "I am from a poor family. Because I couldn't afford the tuition at the martial arts hall, my instructor only taught me the first two basic styles of boxing. Fortunately, I met an adult and got the rewards from an adult." Lingshi, I can finally continue to learn basic boxing techniques."
Jiang Chen sighed slightly when he saw his appearance. It is true that martial arts is not something that everyone can practice, especially the poor people. Just buying the medicine for body refining is worth at least seven or eight spirit stones. It is not worth it at all. Ordinary people who want to use gold, silver and copper coins can only hope for it. He took a look at Lu Yuan and saw that his muscles and bones were excellent and his physique was outstanding. It seemed that he had a better foundation, but that was all. Without resources, this was already his. It's the limit.
For ordinary people, the journey to martial arts is an opportunity to make a comeback. As long as they open up acupuncture points and officially become a martial artist, it can make their family's life richer. Seeing that he is quite interested in martial arts, Jiang Chen has aroused an interest in martial arts. thought.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Lu Yuan, I will leave Sangcheng in about seven or eight days. If you can master the basic boxing skills during this period, I will give you a chance to practice martial arts."
Then he took out twenty spiritual stones and handed them to Lu Yuan, and continued counting: "This is for you to pay for the remaining tuition. I think it will be enough for you to learn the basic boxing skills."
It's not that he doesn't want to give more, but it's better to teach someone to fish than to teach him to fish. He just wants to see what Lu Yuan's character and aptitude are like. If possible, he can fund some training resources for him, which can be regarded as a tie. Destiny method.
Looking at the spiritual stone handed over by Jiang Chen, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, sir, the reward for leading the way for you is already enough. I can no longer accept your spiritual stone for practicing boxing." A mean person will find a way to earn spiritual stones, but I really can’t accept spiritual stones from adults.”
Hearing Lu Yuan's rejection, Jiang Chen smiled slightly. The spirit stone in his hand seemed to be under control and he immediately got into Lu Yuan's arms and said, "Take it, go learn that boxing technique, and come back after the auction." I."
Lu Yuan touched the spirit stones in his arms. They were heavy. Twenty spirit stones were enough for him to learn two basic boxing techniques. He felt as if he had met someone noble. His nose moved slightly and he was about to kneel down to say thanks, but Jiang Chen had already seen what he was thinking, and held him up with his hands, preventing him from kneeling down, and said: "I have no kindness towards you, I just thought that you have a good temperament and wanted to help. There are many people here." Za, you don’t need to thank me, if you are truly suitable for martial arts, I might as well help you, this is fate!”
Lu Yuan was startled, and his gratitude was beyond words. For him, although he worked part-time as a guide for warriors in Sang City to earn compensation, the attitude he always felt was that warriors were cold-hearted and vicious. Today, although Jiang Chen's tone Although his words were calm and indifferent, he could still feel the importance he attached to him, and he immediately made up his mind to live up to Jiang Chen's love.
He nodded heavily and said, "Lu Yuan thanks you for your love. I will practice hard and let you see my results in a few days."
"Okay, what I value is your perseverance. After watching the entrance ceremony, you can go about your own business and don't worry about me."
Jiang Chen nodded, looked at Lu Yuan with a smile, and took care of his next steps.
