Chapter 214 Preparation

Li Qi rode his old horse and quickly rushed to the previous battlefield.

In the center of the previous battlefield, the remaining uninjured sergeants were cleaning the battlefield.

There's really nothing to clean.

In a war of that intensity, it is difficult to leave corpses behind, and it is even difficult for souls to exist.

And Li Qi is here now, helping to appease the remaining souls, and bringing many medicines and... spiritual tablets to these soldiers.

They are all white, just waiting to be engraved on them and ready for use.

Seeing Li Qi coming with these things, the sergeants of the White Rhino Army were dumbfounded.

I don't know whether to praise him for his thoughtfulness or to scold him for being inconsiderate.

But, anyway... at the moment, this is really lacking.

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

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

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

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

The general, who could tell at a glance that he was seriously injured, walked up to Li Qi, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said to Li Qi:

"Li Ke Di, I have met the young master... This is the first time we have met, right? The young master has a wonderful plan. He not only saved my life, but also saved the people of the state. Lie Ke Di is very grateful, but he doesn't know what the young master is here for." What's the matter?"

Li Qi hurriedly helped him up: "Generals, please don't speak like this. You and I are all doing things for the sake of the people. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, and there is no need to be subordinate to favors. On the contrary, the general is full of loyalty. The boy admires him very much. He also Please don’t humiliate yourself, general, and just be equal to me.”

Seeing that the enemy still didn't rise, Li Qi said again: "This boy has done the same thing as the general. According to the rules of the army, colleagues should be rewarded with the same reward and punished with the same punishment. The general humiliated himself, but Do you think we haven’t done a good job in this matter?”

Li Qi had already talked about this, and Li Kedi could not hold on any longer, so he could only bow to him again: "Young Master Gaoyi, if it weren't for Young Master this time, Guangyang would really be in ruins. Please accept this." Worship, although it is meaningless, just express my feelings."

Li Qi had no choice but to bow down and then help Li Kedi up.

Then, he invited Lie Kedi to sit down in the military tent and said to him: "Okay, general, please sit down. The general asked me before what I came for. In fact, besides delivering supplies this time, I have something else to ask for." "

"Master, please tell me, but we have to fight again?" Lie Kedi asked.

Apart from fighting, he really couldn't think of what other soldiers like him could do to help the other party.

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

"The situation?" Hearing this, Li Kedi thought for a moment: "Is the young master talking about the earth's anger?"

"I have also noticed this. After the Shanshui Formation is activated, production will be reduced for a period of time. However, if many large families in Guangyang are mobilized and let them open warehouses to release grain, then it should still be able to survive."

Li Kedi said this and explained the situation to Li Qi: "Young Master has just arrived, so I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation in Guangyang. There is an organization in Guangyang called the Grain Alliance, which controls the grain business. Many large nobles have shares in it. In their hands Generally, there is enough food stored for more than two or three years. If it is properly prepared, there will be no food shortage. "

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

Li Kedi is naturally not a fool. He also has some understanding of the landscape formation. He knows that food production will definitely be reduced in the future, so now he is making arrangements for what to do.

However, he still thought too shallowly. After all, he didn't know that the landscape formation was not an overdraft of land power after normal use...

Instead, together with the water veins of the mountains, they were shattered by the black-skinned monk.

Throughout Guangyang, within ten years, all trees will wither, farmland will fail, wild animals will be infertile, and rivers will dry up.

We will definitely not be able to survive by relying on food reserves alone.

Until nature recovers, I'm afraid the entire population of Guangyang will have to flee.

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

People who leave their hometowns are as cheap as dogs. If they really start to flee collectively, maybe five or six out of ten will die.

Even if they escape to other states, they will most likely be sold into slavery.

Otherwise, without food and land, how can we survive?

I'm afraid only those wealthy families would give up their family business and go to other states to become rich.

Li Qi naturally understood that Li Kedi actually didn't know about this, so he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the matter is not as simple as the general thought."

"Actually, Guangyang's local atmosphere is not just as simple as reducing production. General, come with me." Li Qi stood up and whistled, and Lao Ma rushed over.

Li Kedi also called for his mount, which was also a tall horse. Although it was not a dragon colt, it was still a rare horse that could be seen thousands of miles away.

Dragon colts are still rare, and dragon colts like Lao Ma are even rarer.

When Lao Ma truly enters the ninth level, he can no longer be called Dragon Colt, and he should transform by then.

Of course, not in human form.

Instead, it transformed into a dragon form.

Generally, when monsters transform, they transform into races with natural intelligence, so that they can also get some intelligence and make themselves smarter.

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

But there are other races with natural intelligence, such as the Golden Winged Dapeng, dragons, phoenixes, and even Jade Rabbits and Golden Crows.

They are not as common as humans, but in fact, they are also one of the choices for transformation.

As a dragon colt, Lao Ma will definitely go in the direction of dragon after he transforms after reaching the ninth grade.

In fact, there is already a trend now. The green scales that emerge from his body, as well as the auspicious clouds and thunder after flying in the sky, are all characteristics of dragons.

Walking with Li Kedi, Lao Ma did not fly, but ran honestly on the ground.

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

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

Those were rocks that just appeared after the magma cooled.

About half an hour later, the two horses ran more than a hundred miles away, and other mountains that were not affected appeared.

Arriving here, Li Qi turned over and dismounted, and fell to the ground.

Lie Ke Di also dismounted, not knowing why Li Qi came here.

"General, please look." Li Qi walked here, exerted a little force on his feet, and saw a big pit about one meter deep exploded on the ground.

Lie Ke Di walked over and took a look, his pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly stiffened.

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

There is water vapor in the ground, and plants can only absorb water vapor to grow when they take root.

When water vapor and earth air are combined, they will form the kind of moist and dense black soil or black soil. This kind of soil is rich in nutrients, and all kinds of air are sufficient, which can make plants grow well.

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.

The yellow soil means that there is no water vein under or around this land, and the water vapor and the earth's air cannot mix to form fertile soil, which is not suitable for farming.

Lie Kedi often sees wasteland with only earth's air but no water vapor, which is normal.

However, this is the first time he has seen... white soil.

The soil here is like... saline-alkali land?

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

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

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

Rather than soil, it is better to say it is sand.

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

Li Qi sighed and said, "The master of Chanzhi Monk, that is, the black-skinned demon monk, broke the mountain and water formation, and the mountain water veins were all broken. Now in Guangyang, the ground and water are all exhausted. According to our estimation, within ten years, there will be no harvest, and there will be severe drought and famine."

Rain is also transformed by mountain air, so there will be severe drought afterwards, and not a drop of rain will fall.

"And, look again." After Li Qi finished speaking, he directed Lao Ma to go up the mountain.

Lao Ma nodded, then took off into the air and rushed towards the mountain at a high speed.

After a while, Lao Ma flew down with a mountain eagle more than one person in his mouth.

Then, he threw the mountain eagle under Li Qi, and then stepped back a few steps.

Li Qi picked up the body of the mountain eagle and stretched it. It can be seen that its wingspan is more than five meters, which is far beyond the size of a normal mountain eagle. It is obvious that it has become a demon, but the demon aura is very weak, and there is a smell of incense.

This is abandoning the demon path and walking the divine path.

However, it was meaningless to say anything, because the mountain eagle had turned into a corpse.

There were no wounds on the corpse, nor any signs of fighting, but it died suddenly.

"Is this... the mountain god of this place? How could he die here? Is it also because of the mountain and water formation?" Lie Kedi looked at the mountain eagle, his fingers and lips trembling slightly, in disbelief.

"The backlash after the mountain and water formation collapsed was so great that even Boyue, who presided over the ceremony, almost died suddenly. It took the help of a fifth-grade cultivator to heal his injuries. As for the other mountain gods and water gods, although the backlash they suffered was not as severe as Boyue, they also suffered 70% to 80% of the casualties. All the gods were in grief. Now it would be difficult to repair it with only the mountain and water gods."

Lie Kedi was silent.

He now knew that if this situation was the case, all the situations and plans he had originally envisioned would be useless.

If he followed his method, Guangyang would be devastated and large-scale escape would be inevitable.

The scene remained silent for several minutes before he finally looked up at Li Qi, as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "Young Master, you came to me, there must be a solution, right!? Is there anything I can help with?"

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

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

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

"It is my duty!" Lie Kedi immediately clasped his hands together and agreed.

Li Qi nodded: "I will arrange the specific matters later. General, go and deal with the aftermath of the army. The grand sacrifice cannot be prepared in one or two days. I still need to notify others."

"I will come if the young master summons me." Lie Kedi made a promise and watched Li Qi leave.

Li Qi went on looking for them one by one.

The next one was Zhang Lan.

Originally, the matter here was over, and Zhang Lan had already left quietly. He was ready to leave Guangyang and go to the direction of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Nest.

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

He even slipped away without saying hello to others.

This is exactly the ending Zhang Lan wanted most.

After the matter is over, he will leave, hiding his body and name.

There is no better way for a knight to act than this!

So handsome!

Zhang Lan's personality has always been like this. From the fact that he and Li Qi boasted about business when they first met, we can know that he actually likes this feeling very much.

He doesn't like to show off in front of others, but only likes to leave legends silently, and then feel happy secretly.

However, although he seems a little unreliable, he is really eager to help others when he encounters injustice. He is a real knight.

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

"Is that... Li Qi's dragon colt? Why is it coming to me?" Zhang Lan reined in his horse and stopped where he was.

He was a little happy, but also a little unhappy.

He was happy that Li Qi actually came to see him off, which made him feel very good.

He was unhappy that his perfect departure was stained with some flaws.

Originally, the big thing was completed, and he left without getting stained with dust, without cause and effect, without taking away a cloud, leaving only the name and legend of the knight.

But if there was a farewell scene, it would seem dragging and not so handsome.

But since he was here, he couldn't chase him away, so he reined in his horse and stopped, waiting for Li Qi to fall.

Li Qi arrived quickly and landed on the ground: "Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Li, why did you suddenly come to me? Are you saying goodbye? When did you become such a dragging, fussy person?" Zhang Lan spoke first, pretending to be impatient.

Li Qi smiled. He naturally knew Zhang Lan's temperament, so he didn't talk nonsense with him in this regard, but directly told him his purpose.

He wanted Zhang Lan to help coordinate the people in the world.

An eighth-rank Jianghu guest must have a say in all aspects of the Jianghu and the Green Forest. He is also familiar with the rules of the Jianghu. Li Qi is more assured to leave this to him.

"I see, then leave it to me!" Zhang Lan heard the words and patted his chest to agree.

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

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

(My body and mind are overwhelmed, and I will take a day off tomorrow.)

(I will start a new volume soon, everyone help me promote the book.)
