Lu Qing saw Soong Lan from afar. She was combing through Luo Bu Ma with a smile on her face. It seemed that she had already gotten used to this place, and this was good as well.
Without greeting them, the few of them quickly went to the lakeside near Hechang City to look for mushroom.
The Hechang City was actually not a city, it was just a large warehouse built behind a hill. There were two large lakes on both sides of the road, connected to the Shu Le River.
Lu Qing led her team and dug along the lake shore. She discovered that there were fish swimming in the shallow water occasionally. If she remembered correctly, this was the same kind of naked carp that she had eaten back when she came to the smelting workshop.
Lu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she recalled the deliciousness of the fish. "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 a bag of mushrooms, and Tonden Soldier sent the rest to the Yumen gate. He said that the warriors there needed these food more, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to lift up their sabers.
Lu Qing deeply thought so. On the day she came to the Yumen Entrance Pass, the scene that she saw could be said to be shocking, as a man made of iron without salt to eat would become a soft-footed shrimp, and would also be finished if he did not eat vegetables for a long time.
This carriage of mushroom was all sent to the large kitchen of Yumen Pass.
Old Man Xia, who was in charge of the kitchen, couldn't stop smiling. He forcefully pulled Tonden Soldier and ate a few bowls of his mushroom stew before letting them go.
Of course, there was also Lu Qing's portion. Lu Qing had obtained a large bowl full of pointy lamb and mushrooms, so she had no appetite no matter how she looked at them …
Lu Qing sighed. She had to put the matter of the frying pan on the agenda.
But before she went to find the blacksmith, Lu Qing went back to Commandant's mansion and found the few pieces of plaster she brought back from Luo Bu Lake.
There were a lot of beans here, they were all calling the beans, they didn't have much to eat, most of it was mixed with fodder for the horses, it was such a waste, 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 and horses.
From that day on, Lu Qing would go to the open area beneath the beacon tower every morning to train with a large group of military men.
Her strength was too small. Those halberds, lances, they couldn't even begin to dance. In the end, it was Faang Jiming who found her two short Knife and started sparring with her.
Lu Qing's kung fu skills were not bad to begin with. After she used the two sabers in a fluid motion, she performed the same work as Lu Qing's Tiger Finger, gradually revealing its power.
At first, Faang Jiming was able to hit Lu Qing's sabre easily. After practicing for three days, Lu Qing's sabre never dropped again.
Before he took a shower, Lu Qing spent an hour practicing with Yu Mingchuan. Without using any weapons, the two of them were just using their bodies to fight. Yu Mingchuan deliberately did not use any strength and countered every move that Lu Qing executed.
Every day after the fight, Lu Qing was covered in sweat. She was then stripped clean by Yu Mingchuan and tossed into the bathtub and rubbed until her entire body was red.
Lu Qing was very tired every day since the day she started training. After washing up at night, she fell asleep almost immediately after touching her pillow. There was even one time when Yu Mingchuan didn't wash her well before she fell asleep.
After half a month, Lu Qing felt her body become a lot lighter. Those training sessions were indeed quite strenuous, but she was saddened by the fact that all the mushrooms by the lake had been dug out.
During this time, Liu Chen came back with several carts of food, a bearded merchant and a group of Western Region guards. That Hu Shang brought a large number of camels with him, dragging away more than half of the salt they had recently made. Liu Chen only told Yu Mingchuan about the situation on the road and then prepared to follow him to the Western Regions.
