What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 146 The Queen's Decision. - Wei Qingping's Premonition

The previous chapter mentioned that after riding for several days, the chief jailer of Grilanchi finally returned to the royal capital today.

At this moment, he was reporting the situation to the queen in the hall, saying that a lake had been discovered on the mountain wall, as well as traces of the "fugitive".

After the Queen heard the warden's report, she was thinking about more than just the fugitive. She nodded slightly and said to the warden, "The minister said that the cliffs there are difficult to climb. You've braved the danger and gone up there to hunt down the fugitive, which shows your dedication."

One of the ministers said to those around him: "It was just some unreliable rumors before, but I didn't expect there is really a lake there."

The queen also heard the conversation between the ministers at this moment. In order to prevent the hall from falling into noise again, she immediately shouted to the hall: Minister of Land!

The Minister of Land Affairs quickly stepped forward to answer the Queen, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Queen asked the Minister of Land, "My dear, what do you think?"

The Minister of Lands replied to the Queen, saying, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion... since there is a lake here, and the lake has fish, it is obviously a good place to settle. I suggest that a more convenient road should be dug immediately to facilitate travel."

The Minister of Military Affairs saw that the Minister of Land was speaking too slowly and did not get to the most crucial point, which made him very impatient.

Just as the Minister of Lands paused, the Minister of War stepped forward and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty! I dare to offer a suggestion!"

When the Queen saw that the Minister of War had taken the initiative to propose it, she asked him, "What do you think, my dear minister?"

The Minister of War advised the Queen, "I believe we should act now! Since there truly is a road leading to another country from the cliffs, it could become a secret route for future invasions. We should seize it before it's too late. If we ever go to war with another country and they seize it beforehand, we'll be in a difficult position."

The Queen said to the two ministers, "Your Excellencies are right. This is exactly what I meant."

Needless to say, the Queen was thrilled upon hearing this news from the Chief Jailer. Firstly, it was certain that the Swordsman King had ascended the mountain wall knowing there was a source of water and food. Secondly, a new settlement could be established there. This, inadvertently, also increased her income.

After a pause, the queen sat back on the throne and said to the military minister: "You should tell him about the previous decision." As she spoke, she signaled the military minister to convey the previous decision to the chief jailer.

The Minister of War immediately understood the Queen's intention and replied, "Yes!"

The Minister of War, on behalf of the Queen, issued an order to the Chief Jailer, stating, "Your Majesty has decided to establish dungeons in every town. From now on, prisoners will be held in their respective towns, rather than being held entirely in the dungeons of the capital. Therefore, His Majesty has appointed you to the newly created position of managing all dungeons nationwide!"

The chief jailer was extremely moved and replied to the queen, "I obey your command!"

The Queen said to the chief jailer, "Stop calling me a 'guilty minister'! Since you've made meritorious contributions while serving your sentence, you're innocent! From now on, just do what you should do, and let others handle the pursuit of the fugitive!"

The chief jailer replied to the queen, "As you command!"

The Queen ordered the chief jailer, "Step back!" As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal the chief jailer to "Step back."

After receiving the order, the chief jailer left the hall alone.

The next thing was not the chief jailer's business, but the Queen and her ministers began to discuss the details, that is, how to build a passage, send troops to occupy it, and establish military strongholds and settlements.

Later, just talking wasn't enough, so everyone in the hall pulled out a map and mapped out the locations of various facilities. Ultimately, they decided to establish a military stronghold with the lake as the center point to prevent possible invasions in the future.

After this discussion, the Queen immediately ordered the Minister of Military Affairs to organize a troop of 100 men and send them to the lakeside first to prevent the Swordsman King from returning to the lake to fetch water, and to expand the search for the Swordsman King's whereabouts with the lake as the center.

After a few days, the two jailers on the mountain wall were summoned back to the capital, where they continued to serve under the Chief Jailer. However, the Chief Jailer had been promoted, and henceforth he would no longer be called "Chief Jailer." These three individuals would not be mentioned again for a long time, so I won't elaborate further.

Later, the queen named this cliff "Juejian Ridge". The lake above the cliff was naturally named "Juejian Lake", and the village built later was naturally called "Juejian Village".

The Queen named it this way actually to "curse" the Swordsman King. This is a story for later, so I won't go into details.

Another day passed.

Speaking of which, today is the ninetieth day since the four girls came to the other world.

King Jianhao took Wei Qingping upstream along the stream. After a whole day of walking, they finally arrived at the "spring" mentioned earlier this morning.

In fact, the two of them were already very close to this place yesterday afternoon, but because they had not traveled at night for a long time, they only arrived at this place this morning.

After all, traveling at night in such a complex terrain is too dangerous. At night, people's vision is limited, and if they are not careful, they may fall off the cliff. Therefore, this cannot be done.

When they first set out on the road this morning, Wei Qingping complained all the way, "Strange, why does my neck feel itchy..."

Wei Qingping had to scratch her neck intermittently throughout the day, and the pain was indescribable.

King Jianhao glanced back and saw Wei Qingping scratching the right side of his neck. He asked Wei Qingping, "Didn't you take a shower?"

Wei Qingping told King Jianhao, "Of course I took a bath. We walked along the stream all the way and there was no shortage of water. I started to feel itchy when I woke up in the morning. It's so strange." As she said that, she was about to scratch her neck again.

I won’t explain in detail how these two people took a bath. Everyone has their own way.

King Jianhao looked at Wei Qingping's neck and said to her, "There's nothing on your neck, and it doesn't look like you've been bitten by an insect."

Wei Qingping suddenly stopped scratching and pressed her neck. She said to the Swordsman King, "No, it's not itchy now, it's a little sore."

King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "I think you'd better stop scratching. Or you could wash your neck with water."

Wei Qingping listened to the advice and took out the water bag to pour some water to wash the right side of her neck.

After a while, the Swordsman King suddenly stopped and looked around.

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Why did you stop?" As she spoke, she also looked around and found that there were walls on three sides and it seemed that there was no way forward.

Wei Qingping then followed the stream and saw water bubbling at the end. That must be the "spring" they'd been searching for. She quickly asked the Sword Master King, "Wow! That's the spring, right? So, where's that abandoned 'underground city' you mentioned?" She looked around again, but saw nothing but overgrown weeds.

King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "I've already said that this is my first time here. Let's look around and see if there are any secret passages under these weeds." Because of some experience in the past, he always thought there might be secret passages on the ground.

Then, the two of them began to look around.

Let’s talk about this place. It should be a high-altitude area with sparse vegetation, but it is overgrown with weeds.

As soon as Wei Qingping and King Jianhao entered here, they saw the cliffs on three sides, which looked like a dead end. Fortunately, the cliffs here were not as steep as before, and they were not cliffs that could not be climbed without tools.

After searching for a while, Wei Qingping looked at the cliff and asked the Sword Master King, "Do we have to continue climbing?"

King Jianhao followed Wei Qingping's gaze and looked towards the cliff. He told Wei Qingping, "That shouldn't be it. If they needed to climb further, they shouldn't have said they were nearby. They should have said they were climbing over there." After saying that, he continued to search around.

Wei Qingping walked silently towards the mountain wall...

Suddenly, something jumped out and bit Wei Qingping on the right side of her neck.

After Wei Qingping was bitten hard, she screamed immediately!

When the Swordsman King turned his head, he saw blood gushing out from the right side of Wei Qingping's neck!

The thing that bit Wei Qingping had long since disappeared.

Both of them were frightened by this sudden change and didn't see clearly what bit Wei Qingping.

Wei Qingping touched her neck and saw blood on her hands, then she collapsed to the ground.

King Jianhao hurried over to help Wei Qingping up. When he arrived next to Wei Qingping, he skillfully took out his "bed sheet" from his backpack and used it to press on Wei Qingping's bleeding wound.

But... this doesn't work at all. Wei Qingping was bitten on the artery in her neck, and the bleeding couldn't be stopped at all.

Wei Qingping was extremely weak at this time, and she said weakly: "I said before... if I don't fall down, I won't... I won't die..." After she finished speaking, she spat out the blood in her mouth.

Seeing that Wei Qingping's eyes were lifeless, King Jianhao quickly said to Wei Qingping: "Hey! Wake up! Don't fall asleep!" He was very afraid that Wei Qingping would die completely once she fell asleep.

Wei Qingping's vision was gradually blurring at this moment, her eyelids were very heavy, and finally both eyes slowly closed.

And at this moment, only the Swordsman King was left, shouting alone: ​​Hey! Wake up! Hey!

After a long time, after confirming that Wei Qingping had completely stopped breathing, the Sword King sat slumped beside the "corpse", alone in a daze.

Looking at Wei Qingping's "corpse" with a bewildered face, the Swordsman King thought to himself, "Lin Jifeng, Lin Jifeng. How many people around you must die because of you to be counted..."

The Swordsman King suddenly shouted towards the sky: God! Why?

At this moment, the Swordsman King was filled with grief and indignation. After standing up, he picked up the greatsword and was about to commit suicide...

Now let’s talk about Qi Xinyang.

I won’t say much about what happened to Qi Xinyang yesterday, because there was no difference between what happened yesterday and the day before yesterday. It was just a repeat of what happened the day before yesterday.

If you really want to be specific, the difference is that Qi Xinyang didn't go to the bird house yesterday, nor did she secretly learn boxing techniques, because she had already memorized the chief's entire set of boxing techniques the day before yesterday. After doing some extra strength training, she went to the second floor of the warehouse alone to practice the "Double Moon Hook Blade Bow" and the chief's boxing techniques.

So, without further ado, let’s just tell you what Qi Xinyang did today.

I won’t say much about the morning jog. Only coach Tuo Lierdi, Qi Xinyang and the other three were running.

When it comes to morning exercises, there are new tricks.

After Qi Xinyang and the others had practiced using the long staff, Coach Tuo Lierdi said to them, "Let's practice it once today. Although some of you may not be very proficient yet, at least you have all remembered how to use long pole weapons."

The "some people" that coach Tuo Lierdi mentioned of course refers to the two people other than Qi Xinyang.

Xiaojiao asked the coach, Tuolierdi, "Are we going to teach the 'short stick' next?"

Coach Tuo Lierdi told Qi Xinyang and the others, "That's right! Put on your short sticks and go get them from the weapon rack."

As soon as You Ke heard that they needed to change weapons, he immediately ran over to get it before anyone else did anything.

Qi Xinyang also saw that his two younger brothers' long stick training was really mediocre, so he said to coach Tuo Lierdi, "Coach, let them continue to practice with the long stick. I will learn the short stick by myself."

After thinking it over, Coach Tuolierdi said to Qi Xinyang, "That's fine! There's really no need for them to practice with short sticks."

After You Ke got the short stick, he heard what coach Tuo Lierdi said. So, he immediately handed the short stick to Qi Xinyang, and Qi Xinyang also gave him the long stick.

You Ke's hands and feet were too quick, and she ended up becoming Qi Xinyang's "errand boy".

Qi Xinyang held the short stick in his hand and thought of the stick on the second floor of the warehouse. He couldn't help muttering, "It's really not too short..."

Coach Tuolierdi said to Qi Xinyang, "The weapons our tribe teaches are definitely not too short. Other tribes teach shorter ones, but they use double short sticks."

When Qi Xinyang saw his two younger brothers listening, he scolded them, saying, "Go on with your practice! Don't just stand there!"

After hearing the scolding, Xiaojiao and Youke continued to practice with the long stick. Judging from their proficiency alone, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement for these two people.

Coach Tuo Lierdi then said to Qi Xinyang, "Originally, I only planned to teach you a few simple stick flower techniques. Since they don't want to learn, I can teach you more."

Coach Tuo Lierdi also teaches according to the student's "aptitude". After all, Qi Xinyang learns too fast, so he can naturally learn more.

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Stick Flower? Is it the same as Sword Flower?" Thinking of this, she recalled a very simple "Sword Flower" that she had learned from Xiaojiao.

What happens to the four girls next? Let’s wait and see the next chapter...
