Wandao long distance

Chapter 214 Preparation
Li Qi rode the old horse and hurried to the previous battlefield.

In the center of the previous battlefield, the remaining, uninjured NCOs are sweeping the field.

Actually there was nothing to clean.

In a war of that intensity, it is difficult to leave a corpse, and it is difficult even for a soul to exist.

And Li Qi is here now, helping to appease the remaining spirits, and bringing many medicines and... spirit cards to these soldiers by the way.

It's all white, just waiting to be engraved on it and ready to use.

Seeing Li Qi coming with these things, the soldiers of the White Rhinoceros Army were a little dumbfounded.

I don't know whether to praise him for his thoughtfulness or to call him heartless.

But, no matter what... At the moment, this is really lacking.

It's just a bad omen, but in fact the spirit cards are really not enough.

Soon, a quartermaster came forward to receive these items and expressed his gratitude to Li Qi.

After bidding farewell to the quartermaster, another senior officer came to visit.

Obviously, it is the current general of the White Rhinoceros Army, Li Kedi who was fished out of prison by Li Qi before.

The general who obviously knew that he was seriously injured walked up to Li Qi, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said to Li Qi:

"Li Kedi, I've met you, son... this is the first time we've met, right? You master's clever plan, not only saved my life, but also saved the people of the next state. What's the matter?"

Li Qi hurriedly helped him up: "Generals, don't say such words, you and I are all living people, there is no distinction between high and low, and there is no matter of subordinate kindness, but the general is full of loyalty, and the boy admires him very much. General, please don't humiliate yourself, just be equal to me."

Seeing that Lie Kedi still didn't get up, Li Qi said again: "The boy asked himself that he did the same thing as the general. According to the rules in the army, colleagues should be rewarded and punished the same. The general humiliated himself, but Do you think we didn't do a good enough job?"

Li Qi talked about this part, and Lie Kedi couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only bow again: "Young Master Gao Yi, if it wasn't for you this time, Guangyang might really be in dire straits, so please accept me. Bye, although it is meaningless, talk about your heart."

Li Qi couldn't help it, he bowed and helped Lie Kedi up.

Then, he invited Lie Kedi to sit down in the tent, and said to him: "Okay, general, please sit down, the general asked me why I came here earlier, in fact, I came here this time to deliver supplies, and I have something to ask for. "

"Sir, please tell me, but you want to fight again?" Lie Kedi asked.

Apart from fighting, he really couldn't think of what other soldiers like himself could do for the opponent.

"That's not the case. The White Rhinoceros Army has already suffered heavy casualties. How can you be sent to the battlefield again?" Li Qi denied this statement, and then said: "The general can see the current situation in Guangyang?"

"The situation?" Lie Kedi thought for a moment after hearing the words, "Is the young master talking about earthly things?"

"I have also noticed this. After the Shanshui formation is used, there will be a period of production reduction. However, if many big families in Guangyang are mobilized and let them open warehouses to release grain, then they should still be able to survive."

Having said this, Lie Kedi explained the situation to Li Qi: "My lord is new here, so I'm afraid I don't know the situation in Guangyang. There is an organization in Guangyang called the Grain League, which controls the grain business. Many big nobles have shares in it. Generally, they stockpile enough grain for more than two or three years, and if they are properly managed, there will be no food shortage."

"I'm thinking about sending troops back to the city. Military control may be implemented when necessary. If the young master also has this intention, that's just right. In this way, as long as this matter is done neatly, no one in Guangyang will starve to death within two years. .”

Lie Kedi is naturally not a fool, he also has some understanding of the landscape array, and after knowing it, the grain production will definitely be reduced, so now what to do after the arrangement.

However, he still thought too shallowly. After all, he didn't know that the landscape array was not an overdrawn force after normal use...

Instead, it was smashed by the black-skinned monk together with the water veins of the mountains.

In the whole of Guangyang, within ten years, all the trees will wither, the farmland will fail, the wild animals will be barren, and the river will dry up.

Relying on food reserves alone will definitely not survive.

If nature recovers, I am afraid that the entire population of Guangyang will have to flee famine.

Tens of millions of refugees fled to other states of Bailin Kingdom.

People who leave their hometowns are as cheap as dogs. If they really start to flee the famine collectively, then ten deaths, five or six may be considered rare.

Even if they fled to other states, most of them could only sell themselves as slaves.

Otherwise, there is no food and no land, how can we live on?
I'm afraid only those big families who abandon their family business will go to other states to become rich.

Li Qi naturally also understood that Lie Kedi didn't know about it, so he smiled wryly: "It's probably not as simple as the general thought."

"Actually, Guangyang's local atmosphere is not just as simple as reducing production, the general will follow me." Li Qi stood up, whistled, and the old horse rushed over.

Lie Kedi also summoned his own mount, which was also a tall horse, although it was not a dragon colt, but it was also a rare Chinese horse.

Dragon colts are still rare, and dragon colts like old horses are even rarer.

When the old horse really enters the ninth rank, he can no longer be called a dragon horse, and he should change form at that time.

Of course, not in human form.

Instead, it turned into a dragon shape.

Generally, monsters transform into races with innate spiritual wisdom, so that they can also gain some spiritual wisdom and make themselves smarter.

Generally speaking, monsters will choose human form, because it is the easiest and most common to transform into a human.

But there are also other races with natural wisdom, such as the golden-winged roc, dragon, phoenix, and even the jade rabbit and golden crow.

They are less common than humans, but are actually a choice for changelings.

As a dragon colt, the old horse will definitely go in the direction of the dragon after it transforms into a ninth grade.

In fact, there is already a trend now. The cyan scales emerging from his body, as well as the auspicious clouds and thunder flying in the sky, are all characteristics of a dragon.

Walking with Lie Kedi, the old horse did not fly, but ran obediently on the ground.

The two rode horses, Li Qi led the way, and quickly crossed the plain.

It was originally a mountain road, but after the battle, the mountains here were basically flattened, there were a lot of broken glass on the ground, and there were also many large rocks.

That is the rock that just appeared after the magma cooled.

About half an hour later, the two horses ran more than 100 miles away, and other unaffected mountains appeared.

When he came here, Li Qi got off his horse and fell to the ground.

Lie Kedi also dismounted, not knowing why, not understanding what Li Qi was doing here.

"Let's see, general." Li Qi came here, exerted a little force on his feet, but saw a big crater in the ground, about one meter deep.

Lie Kedi walked over to take a look, his pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became stiff.

Normally, one meter below the ground should be very moist and dense soil.

There is water vapor in the ground, and plants take root to absorb water vapor for their own growth.

And the combination of water vapor and earth gas will form that kind of moist and dense black soil or black soil. This kind of soil is rich in nutrients and abundant in all kinds of gas, which can make plants grow well.

And if the water vapor is lost and the earth air exists alone, it will show a withered yellow color, which is the color of pure earth air.

Dry yellow soil means that there are no water veins under or around the land, and the water and earth air cannot mix to form fertile soil, which is not suitable for farming.

Lie Kedi often sees that kind of wasteland with only earth atmosphere and no water atmosphere, which is quite normal.

However, this was the first time he had seen... the whitened soil.

The soil here seems to be... saline-alkali land?

It is obviously one meter deep into the ground, and the soil should be very moist, but now it looks dead white.

Not only is there no water vapor, but even the earth's air is exhausted.

Lie Kedi bent his knees, reached out his hand into the ground, fished out a piece of soil, gently twisted it with his fingers, and the soil immediately shattered.

It is not so much soil as it is sand.

"This... this, this?" Lie Kedi stammered, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi sighed and said: "The master of Monk Chan Zhi, that is, the black-skinned demon monk, shattered the great array of mountains and rivers, and the mountains and water veins were all shattered. In Guangyang now, the earth's air and water are all exhausted. According to our estimation , Within ten years, there will be no harvest, severe drought and famine.”

Rain is also transformed by mountain air, so there will be a severe drought after that, and there will be no rain.

"Also, look again." After Li Qi finished speaking, he commanded the old horse to go up the mountain.

The old horse nodded, then soared into the air and rushed towards the mountain at high speed.

After a while, the old horse flew down with a mountain eagle as big as a person dangling from its mouth.

Then, he threw the mountain sculpture to Li Qi's body, and then took a few steps back.

Li Qi picked up the corpse of the mountain sculpture and stretched it out. It can be seen that its wingspan is more than five meters, far exceeding the size of a normal mountain sculpture. Incense is lingering.

This is abandoning the way of demons and leaving the way of gods.

However, it is meaningless to say anything, because the mountain sculpture has become a corpse.

There were no wounds on the body, and there were no traces of battle, but it was just such a sudden death.

"This is... the mountain god here? Why did he die here? Is it also because of the great array of mountains and rivers?" Lie Kedi looked at the mountain sculpture, his fingers and lips trembling slightly, in disbelief.

"The backlash after the collapse of the Great Array of Mountains and Waters was huge. Even Bo Yue, who presided over the ceremony, almost died suddenly. It was the fifth-rank shot that healed his injuries. As for the other mountain gods and water gods, although the backlash they suffered was not as severe as that of Boyue, But seven out of ten people were killed and injured, and the gods were devastated, and now it may be difficult to repair it with only the gods of mountains and rivers."

Li Kedi was silent.

He now knows that if this situation is followed, all the situations and plans he originally expected will have no effect at all.

If he followed his method, it would be inevitable for the people of Guangyang to flee from famine on a large scale.

The scene remained silent for several minutes before he finally raised his head and looked at Li Qi, as if he was about to grasp at straws: "Master, you came to me, there must be a solution!? But I can help matter?"

Li Qi nodded: "I thought of a way to solve this matter."

"In today's Guangyang, the mountains and rivers are withered and the ghosts and gods are seriously injured, but only the people are still well preserved. I want to hold a big sacrifice, gather the strength of everyone, and heal the wounds of the earth, so I need the help of the general."

"Preparing such a sacrifice is not something I can do alone, so I need to ask the general to cooperate." Li Qi said solemnly.

"It's my duty!" Lie Kedi immediately clasped his fists and agreed.

Li Qi nodded: "I will arrange the specific matters later. The general will go to deal with the aftermath in the army first. The grand ceremony cannot be prepared in a day or two. I still need to inform other people."

"My lord will come if you are called." Lie Kedi made a promise, and then watched Li Qi leave.

Li Qi went looking for them one by one.

The next one is Zhang Lan.

Originally, Zhang Lan had already left silently, and he was about to leave Guangyang and head towards the Heaven Swallowing Demon's Nest.

The demon monk has been killed, but there are more than one or two monsters in the world?It's time for him to embark on a new journey.

He slipped away without even saying hello to the others.

This is exactly the ending Zhang Lan wanted most.

Hello.

The journey of a knight is nothing more than this!
Handsome batch explosion!

Zhang Lan's personality has always been like this, from the time he first met Li Qishang, we can tell that he actually likes this kind of feeling quite a lot.

I don't like to show my holiness in front of others, I only like to leave legends silently, and then secretly feel happy.

However, although he seems a little out of tune, he is really anxious for justice and willing to draw his sword to help when encountering injustice. He is a true knight.

However, this time, he was only halfway there when he suddenly saw auspicious clouds and green thunder in the sky, rushing towards him.

"That's... Li Qi's dragon horse? Why is it coming towards me?" Zhang Lan reined in his horse and stopped in place.

He was both a little happy and a little unhappy.

The happy thing is that Li Qi actually came here to see him off, which made him feel very good.

What is not happy is that his perfect exit has been stained with some flaws.

Originally, when a major event is completed, he leaves without dust, without cause and effect, and does not take a cloud with him, leaving only the name and legend of the knight.

But if there is a farewell scene, it will appear procrastinated and not so handsome.

However, they were all here, so he couldn't drive people away, so he reined in his horse and stopped, waiting for Li Qi to come down.

Li Qifei rushed over and fell to the ground: "Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Li, why did you come to me all of a sudden? Could it be that you want to say goodbye? When did you become such a sloppy, mother-in-law?" Zhang Lan was the first to speak out, showing an impatient look.

Li Qi smiled, he naturally knew Zhang Lan's temperament, so he didn't talk nonsense with him in this regard, but directly stated his reason for coming.

He wanted Zhang Lan to help coordinate the Jianghu people.

An eighth-rank Jianghu guest must be able to speak in all aspects of the Jianghu green forest, and he is also familiar with the rules of the Jianghu. Li Qi is more at ease when entrusting this aspect to him.

"So that's the case, then leave it to me!" Zhang Lan patted her chest in response when she heard the words.

Li Qi thanked him, got on his horse, and turned back.

It's time to find Wang Baiyan and Guangyang Sikong.

(I am overwhelmed physically and mentally, and I will have a day off tomorrow.)
(A new volume will start soon, please help me push the book.)
