Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Faced with Dong Qing's questioning, Jing Ni lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, like a wronged little wife, but no one knew whether this was a pretense she was putting on.

after all.

She was once a ruthless assassin of the Luowang organization. Although she was later moved by someone's sacrifice and chose to live for her daughter, the only person she truly cared about was probably Yan'er in Dongqing's arms.

"I see, I understand." Dongqing didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Dongqing remained silent, Jingni didn't know what to say either.

Although she often accompanied Dong Qing during his job transfers at night, she still couldn't quite figure out what this man, her husband, was thinking. As a former assassin, she was still somewhat unable to understand him.

It's not her fault.

Dongqing has been spending a lot of time with Lü Buwei lately and has learned a lot from him. His verbal skills are just one aspect; more importantly, he has learned the composure to keep his emotions hidden.

obviously.

Dong Qing was still agonizing over being tricked into becoming a cooperative ally through sweet talk. He felt he needed to learn from Lü Buwei's shrewdness and cunning.

Dongqing's request to learn.

Lü Buwei did not refuse to teach.

First, Dong Qing's identity is what it is: an ancient Qi cultivator and the Dharma Protector of the Qin Kingdom. Regardless of his identity, he has a responsibility to manage the alliance between the two.

Secondly, he is fond of giving advice. It's clear that Dong Qing is very young and still somewhat naive in his thinking. His understanding of people's hearts and human nature is far from sufficient.

........

"Uncle, before you came along, my mother always picked wild vegetables herself. She was used to it, so she was reluctant to spend money to buy vegetables."

Seeing that Dongqing and her mother were not speaking, Yan'er interrupted, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

"Alright, Yan'er, Uncle knows. Uncle doesn't mean to blame your mother. I just feel that she doesn't need to be so frugal. Money should still be spent where necessary."

Dongqing gently rubbed Yan'er's head, and the latter squinted her eyes comfortably, just like a little kitten.

Just now.

"Isn't it better to save the money? Why do we have to spend it?" Jing Ni suddenly said.

Regarding her question.

After thinking for a while, Dong Qing led her and Yan'er to a bustling market street a dozen minutes later. This was the most prosperous and lively area in Xianyang City.

"Jingni, look, people are coming and going here, buying and selling every moment. Money is coming in and money is going out. What do you think this represents?"

Dong Qing looked at Jing Ni beside him, feeling curious about her answer.

"do not know."

Jing Ni slowly shook her head. She had once been just an assassin for the Luo Wang organization, responsible only for killing and stealing intelligence, and knew nothing about these things.

"This represents economic circulation. A strong country needs not only a powerful army, but also a strong economy to ensure its long-term survival," Dong Qing explained.

At this point in the story...

Whether by coincidence or not, Dong Qing saw King Zheng of Qin, and King Zheng of Qin also saw Dong Qing. They were both a little confused, not expecting the two of them to meet here.

To reiterate, Dong Qing doesn't have the idea of ​​constantly scanning the world with his divine sense 24 hours a day. Most of the time, he uses his naked eyes to see the world.

The reason is simple: the world under divine thought is not beautiful. All the filth of the human world will be exposed before your eyes. Whether you want to see it or not, everything will be thoroughly investigated by divine thought.

It is unnecessary to use divine sense, or even mental energy.

The world under divine perception is not a beautiful sight. On a small scale, this world is composed of various basic particles of all sizes. On a large scale, it consists of various bacteria and insects.

If you don't have this kind of interest and frequently use your spiritual sense to observe the world, you will only find the world boring and monotonous, and you will also lose the pursuit of beautiful things.

Because all beautiful things in the world are made up of basic particles, and above that are cells, bacteria, insects and various other tiny biological substances.

When not fighting with people, Dongqing prefers to observe the world with his naked eyes.

I enjoy the beauty of the world by looking at flowers, grass, water, mountains, and the universe. I have no interest in using my divine sense to study how many cells and bacteria a person has.

"Mr. Guo, what are you doing here?" King Zheng of Qin asked curiously.

King Zheng of Qin disguised himself as a noble young man, with a young man of similar age beside him, a sharp sword hanging at his waist, and his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

Just then, the two of them happened to pass by Dong Qing and overheard Dong Qing's words. Qin Wang Zheng suddenly stopped and looked carefully at where Dong Qing was.

“Big…” Dong Qing hesitated.

He was speechless. He had only taken his woman, Jingni, out for a walk and hadn't done anything special, yet he had unexpectedly run into King Zheng of Qin and overheard those words.

It wasn't that Dongqing was afraid of what King Zheng of Qin was thinking; it was mainly that Dongqing was too lazy to get involved in state affairs and found them very troublesome. But this time, he was sure he would be entangled with King Zheng of Qin.

"Sir, just call me Young Master Shang," King Zheng of Qin said hastily.

Given that Dongqing sent him an apple every month, even though he knew Dongqing was Lü Buwei's ally, he couldn't bring himself to dislike Dongqing, the Qin state's protector general.

Dong Qing's words had piqued his interest in this Qin State's Protector of the Law. He hadn't expected Dong Qing to have such unique insights into national development.

Chapter 726, Swordsmanship Reaching Divine Skill?

"Young Master Shang, what brings you here today?"

"Having nothing to do, I thought I'd go for a walk."

"Oh, I see. I won't bother you any longer, Young Master Shang."

"Sir, it's fate that we met. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

"The Five Elements Techniques practiced by Qi Refiners are not something that ordinary people can learn. Not only do they need to have the talent, but they also need to spend a lot of time to barely get started."

"Sir, your mastery of the Five Elements is unparalleled. But this time you have misunderstood. I simply wanted to have an in-depth discussion with you about the role of economics and military affairs."

Faced with King Zheng of Qin's enthusiastic invitation, Dong Qing did not know how to refuse.

If you were to directly slap them in the face, it wouldn't be easy for them to get along in the future, since they are the king.

It's not that Dong Qing is afraid of Qin Shi Huang. If Dong Qing were to get serious, he could use the Supreme Treasure Technique: Heaven-Covering Hand to crush the planet beneath his feet and turn it into dust in the void.

The reason Dongqing felt conflicted and didn't know how to refuse was mainly because she didn't want to disrupt the balance of this world and turn it into a world shrouded in the power of gods.

Theocracy and monarchical power are two opposing forces. Dong Qing did not want to destroy this world rich in thought and culture, so he could only restrain himself from using his power.

finally.

Dong Qing did not refuse King Zheng of Qin, and they went to a tavern to sit down together.

This tavern is quite large, with two floors. The first floor is bustling with ordinary drinkers, while the second floor consists of private rooms that offer a good degree of privacy.

Dong Qing and Qin Wang Zheng are not ordinary people, so they naturally need a private room with strong privacy. They can't go to the first floor of the tavern to chat and brag with all sorts of drinkers.

The third private room on the right side of the second floor had five people sitting in it.

Dong Qing and Qin Wang Zheng sat facing each other. The young swordsman next to Qin Wang Zheng sat not far away, while Jing Ni held Yan'er and sat by the window of the second-floor private room.

“Young Master Shang, I am not actually an expert on national affairs. You really don’t need to discuss these matters with me,” Dong Qing said first after sitting down.

“Sir, there is no need for such modesty. Your talent is profound and your knowledge of both ancient and modern times is extensive. I am very interested in what you have said about economic circulation,” King Zheng of Qin said.

"Young Master Shang, you've misunderstood. I was just joking. Please don't take my joke seriously," Dong Qing quickly waved his hand.

"As the master once said, a powerful nation needs not only a strong army but also a strong economy to ensure its long-term survival," King Zheng of Qin continued.

"Um... how should I put it? The situation is like this, the facts are like this, that's pretty much it." Dong Qing's tone sounded somewhat conflicted.

"Forgive my ignorance, but may I ask you, sir, what is the relationship between a country's economy and its military?" King Zheng of Qin asked earnestly.

Faced with King Zheng of Qin's inquisitive gaze, Dong Qing originally intended to stand up and turn away.

But after thinking about it for a while...

He still didn't leave.

Without him.

Jingni and Yan'er looked at him expectantly, as if he really knew a lot of profound truths.

Clearly, in Jingni and Yan'er's eyes, he must be very knowledgeable to say such things.

How can a man run away from a woman's expectant gaze and admit that he is inadequate in that area?

But the problem is...

Dong Qing knew that he could talk a few words, but if he wanted to delve deeper into these matters, it would be like a pig sticking scallions in its nose—he could only pretend to be an elephant.

Pretending to be knowledgeable in front of them is fine; they won't understand. But pretending to know everything in front of King Zheng of Qin would be very awkward; he would see through it in just a few words.

Thinking about this...

Dong Qing closed his eyes and started recruiting people online.

next moment.

A powerful divine thought shattered the void, traversed the world barrier between the two worlds, and successfully connected to his own world, Douluo Star, the Qinghe Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire of the Douluo Continent, [Qian Renxue].

The next few minutes.

After Dong Qing's painstaking negotiations and his agreement to various unequal treaties, he finally managed to obtain the consent of Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] to begin online imperial guidance.

"Young Master Shang, since you have asked so sincerely, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse again. How about I briefly share my personal insights on the impact of economics and military affairs on national development?"

There was an invisible confidence in Dong Qing's tone. This confidence came from a very pure source; it was the confidence of someone with cheat codes. With the online guidance of Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue], he was now afraid of nothing.

"Please teach me, sir," King Zheng of Qin said sincerely.

Just now.

The few minutes that Dong Qing remained silent with his eyes closed were the most difficult for King Zheng of Qin. He was unsure whether this ally of Lü Buwei would be willing to answer his questions.

There were still three years before King Zheng of Qin would assume personal rule, but these three years would be difficult to endure. On one hand, he had to be wary of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, and on the other hand, he had to make thorough preparations for the day he would assume personal rule.

If possible, King Zheng of Qin wanted to bring Dong Qing, the Qi cultivator, into his camp. What Lü Buwei could offer, King Zheng of Qin could naturally offer as well.

“Alright, Young Master Shang, today, let’s set aside our identities and discuss, as friends, the importance of the economy and military to national development,” Dong Qing said.

friend?

What qualifications do you have to be the King of Qin's friend?

Even my master wouldn't dare to say such things casually.

The swordsman next to King Zheng of Qin frowned, seemingly wanting to say something, but King Zheng stopped him from speaking.
