Wandao long distance

Chapter 174
Li Qi didn't stop all the way, and quickly rushed to the military grain depot.

The journey was very safe. After all, this place is near Guangyang City, and it is very difficult for monsters to survive here in groups.

Where the city is located, people gather and everything flows from it.

Where people gather, there are five colors connected to each other, which are connected to the sky, and their qi can stabilize all things, pass through the four seasons, and pass through the qi of up and down.

From the perspective of Li Qi's witch eyes, the popularity of the city is so high that it is fixed on the ground like a towering mountain, which is difficult to shake.

It is impossible for demons to shake this kind of city.

If the tens of thousands of monsters encountered before formed an formation and gathered their military aura, these military aura would probably collapse in front of the popularity of this city, and they would collapse after just one siege and collision.

So this place is absolutely safe, at least in Li Qi's view.

They ran all the way to the granary, surrounded by soldiers guarding them, but they all seemed to be doing nothing, and there was no such elite viciousness to speak of.

But Li Qi could understand, after all, he was looking at the granary in the rear, no matter how elite the soldiers were, after a few years, they should be tired, so naturally they couldn't be so elite.

But when they saw someone coming on horseback, they cheered up and raised their guns. One of the officers shouted: "The granary is heavy, no galloping! Get off the horse and check your identity!"

Hearing this, Li Qi immediately dismounted from his horse, ran over quickly, picked up the official document in his hand, and showed it around: "Sima's letter! I want to adjust the grain!"

However, when the officer heard Li Qi's words, his expression became extremely strange, and he asked in surprise, "Sima Shouyu?"

"That's right, Sima's letter, seal and signature are all there!" Li Qi held up the document and stretched it out in front of the officer.

"Hahaha, this is really new. I haven't received a letter from Sima for two or three years. Okay, it's right, go and get it yourself~." The officer laughed and didn't lead the way, just drank wine Hiccup, make way for Li Qi.

"While watching the guards, can you still drink?" Li Qi frowned.

"You care about me? Little boy, you know nothing. In this place, if you don't drink, you have nothing to do! Get out of here and go get your food and grass." When the officer heard Li Qi's words, he immediately became angry.

Naturally, Li Qi didn't bother to make fun of himself, he walked quickly into the granary, and then stuck the letter on the formation.

The formation above automatically recognized the special breath of Sima Yinxi, and then opened the door.

Li Qi walked inside and took out the military mustard bag of the White Rhino Army.

However, after getting half of it, Li Qi was stunned.

The entire granary is much larger inside than outside, and the method of "mao swallowing the sea" should be used.

However, no matter how big it was inside, Li Qi would not be stunned in surprise.

What really made him dull was because the granary was empty.

There is dust everywhere inside, but there is no cobweb, but the entire huge granary, which is enough to hold the food for millions of people, is now completely empty, without a grain of food.

Li Qi rushed out the door immediately and shouted loudly: "What's going on!? Has the granary been stolen!?"

"Yelling, shouting, why are you shouting? What's wrong, did you just come back from the town? Did you hear what I just said? There have been no handbooks for several years. Where is there food? Do you think I'm dereliction of duty by drinking? I just have nothing to do!" The officer leaned outside the door, laughing at Li Qi.

"There is no food in the center, so what is going on with the battle in the town?!" Li Qi restrained his anger, and asked with difficulty suppressing his anger.

"Are you a member of the army? Didn't you come down from the town pass? Don't you know that that side has been abolished? The news was more than three months ago, the town pass was abandoned! I remember your general Has it been transferred back? Didn't he tell you these things?" The officer said to Li Qi impatiently, digging his ears with his little finger.

After saying this, Li Qi was astonished.

It seems that the White Rhinoceros Army does not have a leader.

There is indeed no one at the gate.

Damn, Bai Linguo gave up resistance? ?

The people were also lost, the town gate was also lost, the only army that saw the people gathering, the lord actually concealed the news, abandoned the army and fled! ?
Leaving only a group of soldiers who dared to fight to the death, starving in place, protecting the people and waiting to die?
If the people are really sent to Baiding Mountain, will the local government of Baiding Mountain still accept it?If they don't register their household registration and refuse to take them in, wouldn't these people all become refugees?
10,000+ refugees, etc...

The beggars I saw in the city before were not alone.

Bailin Kingdom, really let Zhenguan and all the people around Zhenguan wait to die?
The officer watched Li Qi's expression gradually change, from suppressed anger, to stunned and stupefied, to furious, took a deep breath, and finally changed to a complex expression that was indescribable.

His face turned from white to red, then red to green, and then returned to normal with a long sigh of relief.

A series of changes made the officer amused, he took a sip from the wine bag, and then handed it to Li Qi: "Okay, don't be angry, brother, at least you are in Guangyang City now, you don't have to wait to die where you are, it's a good idea." Good thing, come, take a sip, and calm down."

Hearing this, Li Qi finally regained his senses.

He glanced at the officers and listless sergeants here, and finally understood why they were so decadent.

In this case, it's a ghost if you don't feel decadent.

However, he couldn't be decadent. Hundreds of thousands of people were still waiting for him to bring food back.

"I accept it with all my heart, but I still have important work to do, so I can't drink alcohol, so I'm leaving." Li Qi took several deep breaths in a row, cupped his hands and said, then turned and left.

"Hey, don't leave. What military affairs do you have? You don't want to go back to die, do you? Those of you who have been locked up in these towns are stupid. I have seen a few idiots like you in the past few months. Don't be so Axis." The officer watched Li Qi leave, and waved to him drunkenly.

But Li Qi didn't turn his head back, he quickly walked to the old horse, got on the horse, and ran forward.

Along the way, Li Qi remained silent and kept thinking about things in his mind.

"Lilulili..." The old horse neighed and slowed down, as if he was worried about Li Qi.

"Don't worry, let's go on, let's go see the prefect." Li Qi stroked the old horse's mane and comforted him.

The old horse shook his head, feeling that it was useless to think about it for a long time, so he simply gave up and continued running.

Riding on horseback, Li Qi kept thinking.

The military supply of Guangyang City is probably rotten. Sima Guangyang is obsessed with Buddhism and completely ignores political affairs. He neither organizes grain collection nor distributes grain. The current granary is empty.

So, Guangyang Situ, who is in charge of taxation, and the prefect who is in charge of the overall situation, do they know these things?

If they knew, then they still didn't solve it, which means that the matter is already a bit big. I'm afraid it can't be solved so easily, and it should involve more junk things in the court.

If they don't know, it means that Sima's communication may not be smooth, and it may be resolved after reporting, but the side effect is that he will offend Guangyang Sima.

Li Qi is not afraid of offending people, at worst, he will just run away, and he doesn't live here, so he doesn't worry, so in the best case, things will be like this.

But there are worst-case scenarios.

That is, Guangyang Situ and Guangyang prefect are both in the same style as Guangyang Sima.

That problem is a headache, which means that at the official level, Li Qi can't get any help, he has to rely on himself to raise food

Enough to feed more than a hundred thousand people for a month... no, not enough, to allow those people to migrate to the next round of grain, at least 30 shi was needed.

Except at the official level, how could other places gather so much food in a short period of time?

The more Li Qi thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing to be done, but with more than a hundred thousand lives on his shoulders, how could something that could not be done be perfunctory?

Li Qi closed his eyes, kept thinking, talking to himself unconsciously, and at the same time recalled the current situation of Guangyang City that he saw on the way when he came.

"Think about it, think about it, there are millions of people in Guangyang City, how much do you have to eat every day? There is no famine in Guangyang City, which shows that it has its own means of collecting and storing food. If I can find this method, a mere 30 shi is just eight or nine days of consumption in Guangyang City, and Guangyang City will definitely be able to afford it." Li Qi murmured.

Well, two steps.

The first step is to take a look at the reality of Guangyang officialdom.

The second step is to find the source of the daily food and meat consumed by Guangyang City.

Wait for the clues to be found before making the next step.

After all, there are too few clues now, and the space for manipulation is small. The more you know, the more you can do. Planning is actually trying to achieve the ending you want through known things. If you don’t know anything, then you can talk There is no more planning, and in the end, it can only be reckless.

Thinking of this, Li Qi simply made the old horse stop.

The old horse was puzzled, but he braked obediently.

Li Qi dismounted, and took out a finger from his bosom.

Just looking at this finger, you will feel very beautiful, as tender as a green onion. Although it has been broken, it seems to be still alive, but the section is very smooth, and there is no bloody appearance. It makes people think that it is a jade finger. .

It's really beautiful, and there is a coolness when you touch it, like touching some kind of extremely high-end material, which makes you feel very comfortable.

However, it was just a severed finger after all, so it was still a bit scary.

This severed finger belongs to Shen Shuibi.

When she was at White Snake Mountain, she pulled it out and gave it to Li Qi.

After all, it is the body of a fifth-grade cultivator, a body without dirt, immortal and invincible, so it is no different from when it grows in her hand, touching it is like touching her hand.

Of course, when Li Qi took out his finger at this time, it was definitely not for touching.

He fell to the ground, because at this time there happened to be a small river near the old horse. Li Qi didn't know what the name of this river was, but it didn't prevent him from coming over.

When he came to the river, he took out the Jiayu that he prepared for daily sacrifices and practice.

As the saying goes, Jiayu sacrifices sacrifices to pay homage to the God of the River.

First set up an altar, and then offer jade.

Then ran to the old horse.

The old horse snorted, rolled his eyes humanely, and looked at his mane with distress.

One day, Li Qi can turn himself into a bald man.

Li used a knife to cut off a small bundle of mane.

The so-called clean animals refer to clean and pure animals.

Although it seems a bit wrong to say it, Lao Ma fits this requirement very well.

Offer the mane of the dragon colt as a sacrifice.

Use Guiyu as Jia.

Recite the sacrificial speech, and the sacrificial ceremony is completed.

But I saw bubbles popping out of the faint and deep water.

A small snake with blue and black links quietly floated up from the water.

Then, she swam from the water to the shore, transformed herself into a woman with beautiful make-up, beautiful eyebrows, enchanting figure, slender waist and swaying softly, making people dazzled and fascinated.

But despite her temperament, she looked very cautious. She appeared in front of Li Qi, and after saluting, she asked solemnly: "The great witch called me, and I didn't host a banquet in advance. I'm really rude. I still look forward to Haihan. I dare to ask late at night. What are you doing?"

"The sudden interruption has already disturbed the water god, but there are some things that need the help of the water god, so I offer a special sacrifice, and this ray of pure water, I hope the water god will help." Li Qi cupped his hands and said politely.

"If I can do what I can, I will never refuse." The water god accepted the sacrifice and said so.

"The aura above this thing, please remember the water god and send me a message." Li Qi took out his severed finger and showed it to the water god he had summoned.

The water god raised his head, his pupils suddenly narrowed into vertical pupils.

Then, as if struck by lightning, she backed up violently, her whole body flew out, her clothes fell off, and a blue-black water snake directly dived into the water and hid.

Without him, her sixth sense felt intense fear.

Majestic, huge, and cold, it is like the full moon in the sky, which is not easy in ancient times, hanging high in the sky.

It is a noble existence that must not be touched, a holy thing that can only be seen from a distance, but cannot be touched.

If you don't respect her, I'm afraid that just one look can crush her spirit and body, and she won't even have a chance of reincarnation.

Just by feeling this breath, the water god of this small river was so frightened that he immediately showed his original shape and fled out.

After several minutes, she swam back tremblingly, and asked with the body of a snake, "Great witch... what, what is this?"

Li Qi sighed, overestimating the gods of mountains and rivers in these small places, but he still said: "Have the gods of water remembered the aura above this thing?"

The water god smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I will never forget it in this lifetime."

"This thing is a treasure, so I won't introduce it in detail. The aura on it leads to an eighth-rank power... I want to ask the water god to use the power of water to connect the four directions, and use the method of landscape communication to bring it to her for me. A message." Li Qi said again.

"The great witch entrusted me, I dare not refuse, but... what does the eighth grade mean?" the water god asked.

"Uh, the Water God practiced the divine way, what realm are you in now?" Li Qi felt his head was getting bigger when he heard this, so he asked one more question.

"In my case, I'm in the Golden Body Realm now, why does the great witch ask this?" Water God asked.

"For the golden body level, the eighth rank... is probably the soul level. If you compare it, it is probably at this level." Li Qi made an estimate and said.

"Spirit!?" The water god was taken aback, this was three full realms higher than her!She belongs to the type that can crush her to death with one hand.
