Chapter 184 The Messenger

Below the Tiger Roar Cliff.

In the original Huangshanjun's lair.

Li Zhufang trembled.

"Well... my benefactor, you want me to be the... mountain god?" Li Zhufang trembled, trembling all over, and couldn't even stand still.

She never expected that she would bring her benefactor to see Mr. Huangshan, but in the end... Mr. Huangshan would die.

This powerful mountain tiger died quietly.

To Li Zhufang, Huangshan Jun was an unshakable god, but now the god's head was placed in front of her.

"Who said you should be a mountain god? I think you don't have the ability. At least you must be at the ninth level of Shinto." Li Qi smiled: "Don't worry, I just let you take these golden body fragments, which will be convenient for you in the future. "Practice."

Li Qi said: "You take these things as reward. You can use them directly if you follow the Shinto way. You can also break them down and exchange them for other resources if you follow other ways. However, you have to promise me one thing."

When the little girl heard this, she quickly knelt down again: "Please tell me, my benefactor, I don't need these rewards, but I have been given instructions. I will do my best to Zhufang! I don't dare to relax at all."

"Do as much as you do, get how much reward, this is the right way, no need to say more, just accept it." Li Qi handed the fragment of the golden body to this simple little girl, then pointed at Huangshan Jun's tiger head, and said She said:

"The remnant soul of Huangshan Lord is suppressed in this head. As long as this is here, he is not dead. If you put it here, you can guard it day and night to create the illusion that he is still alive. It doesn't take long, one month will be enough. Then Just destroy this thing and let it return to reincarnation.”

Suppressing the remnant soul is a method that prevents people from reincarnation forever. If it is not particularly necessary, Li Qi will not use this method, but there is no way now, so he found a supervisor. After a month, when the dust has settled, he can release He has returned to reincarnation.

"Then, this is the core of the formation here. I destroyed the part that extracts your essence, but the landscape formation itself is still there. I have no ability to block this, and there is no need to stop the landscape formation. After all, This thing is used to resist demons. If it is destroyed, more people will be killed or injured."

"So you must be careful and not allowed to be contacted by outsiders. Do you understand?"

After Li Qi finished these instructions, he looked at Li Zhufang, waiting for her answer.

Li Zhufang kowtowed quickly: "Zhufang will definitely try his best and will never let up in the slightest!"

Li Qi sighed and said: "I have no one I can trust here, so I can only entrust it to you. I still have important things to do, so I will leave for now. You can stay at Huhou Cliff. I have used the bone pile outside to set up a ban. As long as you don’t make any noise about the way you disguise Mr. Huangshan, one month should pass quickly. By the way, if Qingyue appears in the future, remember to go see him immediately. It will be of great benefit to you. "

After explaining some more details, Li Qi turned around and left, then climbed up the rock, leaving only Li Zhufang here.

This butterfly only met him by chance, and it was likely that he would never see him again.

But it doesn’t matter.

Along the way, Li Qi was used to saying goodbye to too many people and things.

The road is long, and there are not many people and things that can always accompany you along the way.

Li Qi thought this and returned to Lao Ma.

At this moment, an hour has almost ended, and Lao Ma has almost rested.

So, one person and one horse set off again.

——————————

When the sun set, Li Qi finally rushed back to the White Rhino Army.

The journey of more than twenty hours was finally over.

The White Rhinoceros Army also led the people to walk a certain distance, but not far. In just two days, they walked about a hundred miles and found it by searching in the sky.

Not to mention that Lao Ma has the ability to track and find Shen Shuibi's location.

After all, the old horse knows the way is not just an allusion, the horse itself has the ability to identify the road.

We returned here smoothly, but as soon as Li Qi arrived, he felt something was not right in the atmosphere.

Everyone in the White Rhinoceros Army was nervous, but the people were very happy, with smiles on everyone's faces.

He rode the old horse and landed on the ground, and someone from the White Rhino Army immediately came up to meet him.

"Mr. Li, are you back? Is this the messenger you brought?" A sergeant came forward and asked.

"Messenger? What kind of messenger?" Li Qi frowned.

The officer who came up said: "An hour ago, an envoy from Guangyang City came. He took Lord Situ's sign and said he wanted to see our current general and commander. He has been in the tent for an hour now, but he still has nothing to do. No news, Mr. Li, why don’t you go in and take a look?”

"An hour? Okay, I'm going to take a look. By the way, this is the food. Take it... wait, forget it, don't take it. I'll come later." Li Qi was originally going to hand over the food. , but after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

There are people coming from Guangyang City. It is not a good thing to take out food at this moment.

If people are made to think that the food is brought by Guangyang City, then there may be conflicts later.

Li Qi thought about this and asked Lao Ma to rest while he quickly walked towards the tent in the distance, which was a temporary command post.

Walking all the way, Li Qi could feel that the people seemed to be very happy. He heard many voices, all of which were thankful that someone from the government finally came, and they probably wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.

The more he listened, the more something was wrong in his heart.

The people in the government are not preparing to save people, but are preparing blood sacrifices.

Li Qiqi knew with all his toes that the messenger's purpose was not simple.

But the question is, what does it mean that the people trust the government’s messengers so much?

This shows that the government is trustworthy in normal times, and the people are willing to believe it.

So what happened in the middle that made them even choose to sacrifice these civilians with blood?

But Li Qi did not completely believe this, because there was a lot of indirect evidence about the blood sacrifice, proving that the government did not care about these soldiers and civilians.

However, Li Qi only heard Wang Boyan say that blood sacrifice, and in Li Qi's own understanding, this was completely Wang Boyan's one-sided opinion, there was no second solid evidence, only some indirect evidence.

So, in fact, whether it was Wang Boyan or the Guangyang government, Li Qi did not believe any of them.

He had his own plans.

But those were not worth telling to outsiders.

When he walked to the tent, Li Qi saw a drowsy rabbit basking in the sun before he saw the messenger.

It was not Miss Shen, but a rabbit.

And this rabbit was still wearing clothes.

A rabbit wearing pocket clothes, like the kind of four-legged clothes with skirts for dogs, and someone even embroidered flowers on it. I don’t know who did it.

This gray and white rabbit, with its ears drooping and covering its eyes like an eye mask, was lying on a stone to bask in the sun. It was very conspicuous, but it seemed normal. Anyway, no one noticed it.

As if everything had nothing to do with her, Shen Shuibi just lay on it and took a nap.

But all this had nothing to do with her, and she was actually like this because Li Qi asked her to.

Li Qi had sent back a message through Shanshui before, one of which was that he hoped Shen Shuibi would change back to her original form and hide her breath.

But what Li Qi didn't expect was that after changing back to her original form, she was also wearing clothes...

In her eyes, rabbit fur is probably the same as skin, and both are considered naked.

It seems that the last time I rubbed a handful of fur, it was equivalent to touching a handful of buttocks in her eyes.

That would really have serious consequences, and I saved my life...

If someone who really didn't know her did this, she would eat it like a carrot, right?

It would be chewed into pieces with a snap.

It might also be slapped to death.

Be more careful in the future.

Without disturbing Shen Shuibi who was taking a nap, Li Qi walked forward and lifted the tent.

But inside the tent, the deputy general who was in charge of the White Rhino Army and Zhang Lan were both here.

There was an old man next to these two who Li Qi did not know.

The old man was vigorous and muscular. Although he had white eyebrows, white beard and white hair, his muscles were knotted and stronger than the soldiers outside. He looked scary at first glance.

Although he had a white-haired and youthful appearance and wore a wide robe for an old man, most people wore loose robes, but on him, it looked bulging and the robe was stretched out.

As soon as Li Qi entered, the three people in the tent looked at him.

The sturdy old man was furious, staring at Li Qi, and said rudely: "Who is this?! We are discussing matters with the superiors, and you dare to barge in without paying a visit first?! Go down and receive a hundred military sticks!"

Li Qi was still confused, and the deputy general of the White Rhino Army hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying: "Don't blame the envoy! This is not a subordinate of the White Rhino Army, but a righteous man who helped. He is the Li Qi we talked about before."

Li Qi frowned: "I don't know why the envoy is so irritable, but is his yang energy too strong?"

"Are you Li Qi?" The sturdy old man stood up.

"That's right, don't know the envoy's name? How come we missed each other on the way? I just came from Guangyang City~." Li Qi said with a gentle smile.

However, no matter how you look at it, his smile has a sense of superficial smile.

Zhang Lan didn't say anything, but just stood up silently and touched the sword box.

He could see it.

This envoy and Li Qi should have some grudges.

But they didn't know each other. Obviously, the envoy didn't know Li Qi, but he knew the name Li Qi, which meant that Li Qi had done something in Guangyang City that made the envoy of the government know about it.

What Li Qi did should have made the government very unhappy, otherwise there wouldn't be such a tense atmosphere.

And in Zhang Lan's opinion, Li Qi was obviously not the kind of bad guy who made trouble, and he wouldn't do anything that hurt the world.

So why did the government treat him like this?

There are various reasons, which are probably worth pondering.

So, Zhang Lan didn't speak, but watched silently to see how the situation would develop.

"My name is Zhang Dailu, the ancestor of the Guangyang Zhang family. You should have heard of my name." The sturdy old man raised his head and said proudly to Li Qi.

Li Qi had never heard of the name Zhang Dailu.

But he knew the Guangyang Zhang family.

"I have heard of your name for a long time, but I don't know why the senior came here?" Li Qi asked with a bow.

The deputy general of the White Rhino Army looked around, and he also saw that the two seemed to have a conflict.

However, it was taboo to mediate without knowing the cause of the matter, so he did not speak, but listened to their conversation from the side, interrupting them at any time to prevent the conflict from being intensified by words.

This was the safest way.

Zhang Dailu shook his chest muscles, raised his chin, and looked at Li Qi: "Why am I here? Don't you know? You are the one who openly disobeyed orders on behalf of the White Rhino Army? You arrived in Guangyang City, what did you do, don't you know yourself? Pretending to be a military intelligence envoy, defrauding military rations, disobeying orders on behalf of the White Rhino Army, you did so many things in just one day in Guangyang City, you are very good."

After speaking, he looked at the deputy general and raised his voice: "The White Rhino Army is temporarily acting as the general! If you see this card, if there is an order from the Minister of Justice, quickly capture this thief with me and execute him on the spot! Then follow me back to Guangyang City!"

When these words came out, not to mention Zhang Lan and the deputy general next to him, even Li Qi was shocked.

Li Qi thought the other party would say something, but he didn't expect him to attack directly! ?

I haven't even introduced myself yet!

The deputy general was also stunned and rushed forward: "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding! Mr. Li saved our entire army, and he was also full of heart-"

But before the deputy general finished speaking, he saw Zhang Dailu raised his hand, showed a gold medal, and shouted sternly: "Temporary General, are you going to disobey orders!"

"I dare not! But there must be something strange. Mr. Li is definitely not someone who can do those things. Sir, please don't rush to punish him. He was impulsive and killed a loyal person!" The deputy general knelt on one knee, but refused to accept the order.

The entire White Rhino Army saw with their own eyes that Li Qi and Zhang Lan helped at the most critical moment, resisted two eighth-rank soldiers, and saved 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

What's more, Li Qi also held a special sacrifice to transcend the souls of their brothers, dispelled the evil spirits of those demons, and performed rituals to drive away the illness of 100,000 people, and did not ask for anything in return. It can be said that he did all the good things.

How could such a righteous man do the above things?

There must be something strange.

Seeing that the deputy general of the White Rhino Army actually disobeyed orders, Zhang Dailu's eyes trembled, and he was about to say something.

However, Li Qi interrupted at this time.

"Really? What I heard seems to be different from the envoy."

Li Qi took a step back, and then began to speak: "I went to Guangyang City, but I only saw countless refugees, but no one cared."

"I only saw that the granaries of wealthy families like the Zhang family in Guangyang were full of food, but the military granaries were empty."

"I only saw that the various armies did not receive support, and the entire army was almost slaughtered by demons."

"I only saw you guys who are so despicable! The demons are so aggressive that you don't want to resist. You just want to withdraw to the rear and set up a mountain and water formation, trying to sacrifice the people for peace!"

"Now you want to use the same statement to deceive real bloody men and force them to do ungrateful things."

"Is this the style of you Guangyang officials? Where is your face!" Li Qi shouted loudly!

Zhang Dailu was furious: "Shut up!"

Li Qi ignored him, turned his head to look at Zhang Lan, and asked frankly: "Brother Zhang, do you dare to kill the official?"

Zhang Lan laughed up to the sky: "Hahaha! Why not?!"
