"The Great General is back!" Bai Qi left the palace and appeared in front of Lord Wu 'an's mansion. The servants at the door cheered.
"System mission activated. Host, please choose: ”
" God's Chosen One: Return to the ancestral land and obtain high-yield hybrid rice seeds.”
" God's Choice 2: If you continue to stay in Xianyang City, your lifespan will be reduced by three years.”
Just as Bai Qi was about to take a step into the mansion, the system's voice rang out in his mind once more, causing him to stop in his tracks and stare in shock.
"High-yield hybrid rice seeds?" Bai Qi, who had a modern soul, naturally knew what hybrid rice was and how high the yield of hybrid rice was.
In this era where productivity was extremely low, food had become the most precious resource.
Although the Central Plains was very rich in land resources, because of the extremely low food production, so much land could not feed the 20 to 30 million people of the seven countries at all. There were still many people who did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
Especially if there was a natural disaster and the food harvest was poor, it would lead to starvation.
Therefore, food was the most basic need of all the people.
And being able to eat their fill was also what the commoners yearned for the most.
Baiqi naturally knew what high-yield hybrid rice seeds meant in this era.
This meant that they could feed the people of the world and prevent them from starving.
"I have to get this hybrid rice seed!”Bai Qi immediately made a decision.
"Great General, you're back!" After Bai Qi entered the manor, the butler, Bai Fu, hurriedly came forward to welcome him.
"Tell everyone to pack up and return to the ancestral land early tomorrow morning to worship the ancestors.”Bai Qi instructed Bai Fu.
Now that it was almost time for spring planting, he could not delay any longer.
Otherwise, it would affect the spring planting, and they would have to wait another year. During this year, many people would starve to death.
Furthermore, Baiqi had already announced his withdrawal from the Imperial Court, so there was no point in keeping Xianyang City. It would be better to return to the ancestral land to recuperate and cultivate the Art of Longevity.
This was a supreme cultivation technique that could allow one to live forever!
Compared to wealth, immortality seemed to be more attractive.
Moreover, if he kept Xianyang City, it would be impossible for him to completely leave the imperial court, let alone cultivate in peace.
Of course, in order not to cause unnecessary panic, Baiqi did not say that he had completely withdrawn from the royal court. Instead, he found an excuse to return to the ancestral land to worship his ancestors.
After all, it was normal for Baiqi to return home to pay respects to his ancestors.
This way, King Zhaoxiang's reputation would be better. Otherwise, if word got out that Baiqi had resigned from the title of Lord Wu 'an and rejected all the rewards for this great merit, what would the people and soldiers of Qin think?
He must have thought that King Zhaoxiang of Qin could not tolerate Lord Wu 'an Baiqi.
"Take everything you can with you. Everyone in the residence will go back with you. They might not come back for a long time!”Baiqi added.
"Great General, did something happen?”Originally, Bai Fu did not have any doubts, but Bai Qi's words caused Bai Fu to frown. He could not help but ask.
"It's fine. Hurry up and do it. Also, tell the servants in the residence to watch their mouths and not talk nonsense.”Baiqi continued.
"Yes, Great General!" Bai Fu nodded and bowed. Then, he began to tidy up the servants in the manor.
The servants in this manor were basically all slaves that Bai Qi had bought. Their contracts were all in Bai Qi's hands, and unless Bai Qi was willing to let them go, they would never be able to leave the Wuan Manor.
"Master, did something happen in the court?”Wei Lan, who had received the news, walked in. He frowned and asked Bai Qi softly.
"It's nothing. I killed Fan Ju in the imperial court.”Bai Qi said calmly.
"What?" After Wei Lan heard this, he could not help but cry out in surprise, his face filled with disbelief and shock.
She naturally knew who Fan Ju was. It was because of Fan Ju that her father, Wei Ran, was chased out of the court.
"Then did the king make things difficult for the old master?”Wei Lan said worriedly. She knew the seriousness of this matter.
"It's fine. Can't you just go back to your ancestral land and be a rich man?”Bai Qi smiled faintly.
Wei Lan saw how relaxed Baiqi was, but he was still worried about him.
However, her worries were unnecessary. Bai Qi was now very relaxed, without any official position.
He could be considered a free man now.
Rather than being in a high position and worrying about the Emperor's fear and trembling all day, it was better to temporarily leave the court.
……
Early the next morning, Baiqi brought everyone in the mansion and transported the goods out of Xianyang City, heading towards Baiqi's ancestral land.
Baiqi's ancestral land was in Muyi, and it wasn't too far from Xianyang City, only a little over 100 kilometers away.
As the War God of the Qin Country, the moment Baiqi's team left Xianyang City, news of Lord Wu 'an returning to the ancestral land to pay respects to his ancestors spread throughout the city.
"What is it? Lord Wu An has left Xianyang City?"
"What is it? Lord Wu 'an had returned to the ancestral land to worship his ancestors?”
……
Those who didn't know the inside story would only think that Lord Wu 'an was returning to the ancestral land to worship his ancestors.
When the ministers of the State of Qin who knew the inside story received this news, they were all shocked. They did not expect Lord Wu 'an's attitude to be so firm. He set off to return to the ancestral land the next day after leaving the imperial court.
Was this a complete withdrawal from the royal court?
Originally, they had thought that Bai Qi was just putting on an act. They had never thought that Bai Qi would be so ruthless and serious.
At this moment, many of the officials in the court, especially the generals in the army, looked worried.
The Qin country did not have a Great General, this was definitely a great loss.
"What is it? Lord Wu 'an brought everyone from the manor and left Xianyang City to return to the ancestral land to worship the ancestors?”King Qin Zhaoxiang, who received the news, was also slightly stunned.
Then, his expression changed again and again, not knowing whether to be happy or regretful.
After all, the Qin country had such an invincible commander. He basically did not have to worry about losing the battle.
However, on the other hand, he was worried that Baiqi's achievements would shock his master.
In any case, King Zhaoxiang was very conflicted with Bai Qi. He wanted to use Bai Qi, but he was also very afraid of him.
Now that he heard that Bai Qi had returned to the ancestral land, it seemed that he did not want to return to Xianyang City.
At this moment, King Zhaoxiang was extremely conflicted.
Of course, at this moment, Bai Qi did not know what the people in the court were thinking. He was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting. All his thoughts were on the Art of Longevity in his mind.
The Art of Longevity was not complicated to cultivate. One only needed to cultivate it step by step.
However, if he wanted to cultivate it to the extreme, he would need a long time.
Moreover, as he continued to cultivate, his lifespan and cultivation would gradually increase.
When he cultivated to the extreme, not only would he be immortal, but his cultivation would also reach a heaven-defying level. It would not even be a problem for him to shatter a planet with his fists.
Of course, this would require a very long period of time. He did not know when he would be able to cultivate it to the extreme.
