…
He chases, he escapes...
Under the tactic of retreating when the enemy advances, and fighting when the enemy retreats, the smuggling caravan was going crazy. It took them ten days to "repair" part of the merchant ship, but Li Qing and his team destroyed it in just one day.
Smuggled goods were being delivered one after another, but they were still unable to cross the sea. They were all going crazy.
Of course, anger cannot solve the problem!
Although there were many of them, they were not united. Moreover, the "individual quality" of Li Qing and his party was too high, and they were also very wretched and did not waste any time. They could not seize the opportunity at all.
The only mistake he made was made right by Li Qing like a god descending to earth.
The fault tolerance rate of the heroic team is not generally high.
However, Li Qing also made miscalculations.
For example: He underestimated these people's determination to smuggle.
The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted through spring, summer, and autumn, and did not come to an end until winter came.
It was not that the smuggling caravan gave up, but that it lost the conditions for smuggling.
it's too cold.
Taking this opportunity, Li Qing took his junior brother back to the capital and refined pills for Zhu Jianshen for another year, half of which were advanced versions.
Zhu Jianshen's body is already in a state of decline, and its decline is becoming more and more obvious. However, he will be fine within a year or two.
After getting the medicine for Zhu Jianshen, Li Qing did not take his junior brothers back to Wudang Mountain, but taught them the techniques of cultivating Qi.
After nearly a year of tug-of-war, their energy has improved significantly, and their combat power has skyrocketed. They are not ordinary strong.
…
After resting for a while and making a lot of preparations,
At the end of the first month of the seventh year of Hongzhi.
A group of people once again set out on the road to fight against smugglers...
In the spring of March, the two sides faced off again.
However, it won't be easy this time. They have to face not only smugglers, but also consignors from Japan.
There are nearly a thousand Japanese samurai.
Nearly three hundred of them are ninth-level warriors.
This Li Qing used to disrupt Japan's class system, but now it has taken root in Japan's people and is out of control...
At this stage, in Japan, becoming a samurai is already a symbol of strength and status.
Similarly, under this system, the level of civil strife in Japan has increased several notches compared to the time before Li Qing went there.
The emperor's line of inheritance was completely cut off, and the shogunate was also wiped out. Today's national situation in Japan is...
Princes, generals and ministers would rather have the seed!
With the blessing of nearly a thousand warriors, the smugglers' morale was greatly boosted, and then...
It doesn't matter, Li Qing will take action.
Under the blessing of Li Qing's force, which was like a god descending from heaven, these warriors continued to rest.
However, there are too many people, and there are still times when we can’t take them all into account.
Fortunately, smuggling is insignificant, and the goods are less than one-tenth of the normal size. For smuggling on such a scale, the transportation cost increases tenfold. Not to mention making money, the loss is huge.

One year, and another year later.
In the ninth year of Hongzhi, spring.
Li Qing's team came back, but there was no sign of the smugglers. After waiting for more than two months, no smuggling merchant ship appeared.
The smugglers gave up.
However, Li Qing knew clearly that they only gave up this smuggling route, not smuggling.
The goal of 'This road is blocked' has been achieved, and Li Qing does not want to waste any more time. Firstly, his junior brother has not been back for several years, and secondly, Zhu Jianshen has also reached the end of his life.
Helpless, he could only play the role of 'attending doctor' again.
Before leaving, Li Qing told these juniors not to reveal any details of their heroic deeds after they returned, only that they had been practicing hard in the past two years.
He didn't want to make Wudang disciples want to do chivalry.
Junior brothers are too naive and can easily be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
Naturally, the Nine Taoists dare not violate it, and they don't like to show off. They have gained a lot from this journey of practice, and it is very worthwhile. This is enough.
They are Taoist priests who have practiced Taoism for many years, not middle-school boys like Li Hao.

Midsummer, the capital.
Li Qing returned to Lianjia Tuner Courtyard.
In order to keep it secret, I stayed in the capital several times before, but never came to Lianjiatun'er. I haven't been back for a long time. The small courtyard is still the same as before. There are no weeds in the courtyard, and there is only a little dust in the furnishings. Even the bedding is neatly folded. Put it in the cupboard...
Obviously, there will still be people cleaning the small courtyard regularly.
under the shade of trees,
Li Qing was leaning on the recliner, with dappled sunlight shining on his face, stained with vicissitudes of life.
"Oh, I'm afraid no one will come here to clean in the future..." Li Qing's mouth showed a touch of bitterness, and then he chuckled to himself, "If no one comes, no one will come. In fact, it doesn't matter. I have long been used to it. Already..."
As the cicadas chirped, Li Qing took a nap.
In the afternoon, I got up, took a cold shower, put on new clothes, and rushed to the palace...
It had been a long time since he came, but Jin Yiwei actually recognized him. He showed his badge and let him go without wasting any time.
Li Qing entered the palace easily, but the surprised look on the guard's gilded guard's face and the muttering of "After so many years, this miracle doctor Li has not changed at all except that his beard has grown a bit, it's really strange..." made him confused again. The pace is heavy.
It’s been quite a long time...
Li Qing sighed quietly. He understood that Li's identity as the miracle doctor would not last long.
Changle Palace, in front of the palace.
Zhu Houzhao had his sleeves rolled up, his little face was red and full of sweat, he was still a small one, but he was very lively and active. The ball, which was a few sizes bigger than his little feet, was completely controlled by him, and his dribbling posture... was unexpectedly... A hint of sophistication.
As soon as Li Qing came in and saw this scene, he was immediately shocked: Damn, he really loves to play.
Immediately, I felt that I was too sensitive. How could a five-year-old child not have some entertainment?
Entertainment like Cuju also has certain benefits for the body, which is much better than games like hide and seek.
"Who are you?" Zhu Houzhao stopped and said in a childish voice, his big eyes full of novelty.
It was the first time for him to see a bearded person at his grandfather's place.
"Divine Doctor Li, why don't you salute His Highness the Crown Prince quickly?" the Jin Yiwei who was leading the way reminded him. He cupped his fists and saluted, "I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No courtesy." Zhu Houzhao nodded his chin old-fashionedly, "What about you?"
Li Qing smiled, clasped his fists and said, "The common people also see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Well, no courtesy." Zhu Houzhao stopped talking to him and said, "Zhang Yong, kick the ball over."
The eunuch named Zhang Yong did not dare to kick the ball. He bent down to pick up the ball, ran over, and placed it respectfully at Zhu Houzhao's feet. "Your Highness, please."
Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly and kicked again.
Li Qing asked the Jin Yiwei who was leading the way to inform him, while he watched Zhu Houzhao playing football.
It has to be said that at least at the age of the little guy, such a level is really rare. This will be left to future generations as a proper future football star.
Not long after, the Jin Yiwei came out of the palace, and Zhu Jianshen himself came with him.
However, now he has to use crutches.
"Huzhao, stop being playful and take a rest." Zhu Jianshen first stopped his eldest grandson, and then he took on the posture of the Supreme Emperor and said, "This is Divine Doctor Li, come in."
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, a little unhappy, but he did not dare to disobey his grandfather. He tilted his head and said, "Zhang Yong, put the kickball away."
"Yes, Crown Prince." Zhang Yong responded, picked up the ball and wiped it with his sleeves, then bent down and stepped back.
Li Qing stared at Zhu Houzhao again, stepped forward and followed Zhu Jianshen.
However, as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped again by Xiao Naiyin.
"Hey, do you understand the rules? You have to walk behind me." The little guy seemed a little dissatisfied, but it didn't look like he was angry, more like... teasing.
Zhu Jianshen paused in his steps, turned around and glared at his eldest grandson fiercely, "Miracle Doctor Li is grandpa's doctor, so you must not be rude."
If his physical condition didn't allow it, he would have picked up his eldest grandson and hugged him in his arms. After all... Li Qing didn't respect the old and love the young.
However, he had wronged Li Qing. He was not so petty.
The little guy was a little unhappy and said angrily: "Grandpa, my grandson has gone to find his father."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, with a look like "Go quickly, or he'll beat you up."

Bedroom.
Zhu Jianshen screened away his servants and invited Li Qing to take a seat.
"Has the matter of the smuggling caravan been resolved?"
"It has been solved for the time being, but it is still unknown whether they will make a comeback in the future." Li Qing took a sip of tea and said, "I will go and have a look again in the future."
Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Sir, my body is dying!"
Li Qing was silent for a moment and said: "I came back this time just to treat you. I won't leave."
"Well, if you don't leave this year, maybe my little grandson..." Zhu Jianshen looked lonely, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Oh, you may not be able to save him."
Li Qing was slightly shocked, "The second prince...died?"
"Yes, I have an emergency..." Zhu Jianshen exhaled a deep breath and said bitterly, "The illness that occurred at night will disappear the next afternoon."
Li Qing was speechless for a while, then said: "My condolences."
Zhu Jianshen sighed again, took a sip of tea, calmed down his emotions, and then said:
"Don't forget what you promised me."
"I'm back, and you're not going to die. There's no need to be in such a hurry to tell you your last words." Li Qing said.
Zhu Jianshen forced a smile and said: "I know my body myself. Besides, you are not a god... Anyway, you can't break your promise."
Li Qing nodded.
"Give me your hand."
for a long time,
Li Qing took back his hand, but his brows were still furrowed, and he said, "Let's do acupuncture first."
"Well." Zhu Jianshen took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, rested his arms on his chin as usual, and said to himself, "Don't tell me, at this point, I'm really reluctant to let go."
Li Qing inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point and gently twisted it, "You don't want to give up your eldest grandson, right?"
"Hmm... how cute, I really want to spend more time with him." Zhu Jianshen felt a little regretful, "Sir, how much time do I have?"
"I have no idea."
"I'll give you a rough estimate."
"I have no idea!!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Li Qing put away his emotions and said, "How is the little prince?"
"You said my eldest grandson?" Zhu Jianshen said with a proud and proud face, "He is much smarter and more courageous than his father."
