Myriad Paths
Chapter 174 Short Position
Li Qi rushed all the way to the military grain depot without stopping.
It was very safe along the way. After all, this is near Guangyang City, and it is difficult for monsters to survive in groups here.
Where a city is located, people gather and everything flows from it.
Where people's Qi gathers, there are five colors connected, which are in conflict with the sky. Their Qi determines all things, connects to the four seasons, and connects the Qi up and down.
From the perspective of Li Qi's shamanic gaze, the city's popularity is one after another, like a towering mountain that is fixed on the ground and difficult to shake.
It is impossible for demons to shake such a city.
If the tens of thousands of monsters we encountered before had formed a formation and gathered their forces, these forces would probably be disintegrated in the face of the city's popularity after just one siege and collision.
So it's absolutely safe here, at least in Li Qi's opinion.
They ran all the way to the granary, surrounded by soldiers guarding them, but they all looked carefree, and there was no elite evil spirit at all.
But Li Qi could understand. After all, he was guarding the granaries in the rear area. No matter how elite the soldiers were, they would be tired after watching them for a few years. Naturally, they couldn't be that elite.
But when they saw someone coming on horseback, they all cheered up and came over with guns raised. One of the officers shouted loudly: "No galloping in this important land of granaries! Get off your horse and check your identity!"
When Li Qi heard this, he immediately dismounted from his horse, ran over quickly, picked up the official document in his hand, and showed it everywhere: "Sima's handwriting! I want to adjust the food supply!"
However, when the officer heard what Li Qi said, his expression became extremely strange, and he asked in surprise: "Sima's handwriting?"
"That's right, Sima's handwriting, seal and signature are all there!" Li Qi held up the document and stretched it out to the officer's eyes.
"Hahaha, this is new. I haven't received Sima's handwriting in two or three years. Okay, it's right. Go and get it yourself~." The officer laughed happily and didn't lead the way. He just drank wine. Hier, make way for Li Qi.
"Can I still drink while watching the guards?" Li Qi frowned.
"You care about me? Pretty boy, you know nothing. In this place, if you don't drink, there is nothing to do! Get out of here and get your food and grass." When the officer heard what Li Qi said, he immediately became angry.
Li Qi was naturally too lazy to ask for trouble. He quickly walked into the granary and pasted the oracle on the formation.
The formation above automatically recognized the special aura of Sima's seal, and then opened the door.
Li Qi walked inside and took out the White Rhino Army's military mustard bag.
However, after getting half of it, Li Qi was stunned.
The entire granary is much larger inside than outside. It should be the method of "swallowing the hair into the sea".
However, no matter how big it was inside, it would not make Li Qi stunned.
What really made him sluggish was that the granary was empty.
There was dust everywhere inside, but there were no cobwebs. However, the entire huge granary, which could hold enough food for millions of people, was now completely empty, with not a single grain in it.
Li Qi immediately rushed out and shouted: "What's going on!? Has the granary been stolen!?"
"Shout, shout, what are you shouting for? Problem, did you just come back from Zhenguan? Didn't you hear what I just said? There have been no handwritings for several years. Without the handwriting, the food here can only go out. Where is the food? Do you think I'm derelict in my duty by drinking?" The officer leaned outside the door and laughed at Li Qi.
"The center has no food, so what's going on with the battle at Zhenguan?!" Li Qi restrained his anger and asked, barely suppressing his anger.
"Are you a member of the army? Didn't you come down from Zhenguan? Don't you know that the troops there have been abolished? The news came more than three months ago that Zhenguan was abandoned! I remember your general Have they all been transferred back? Didn't he tell you this?" The officer picked his ears with his little finger and said to Li Qi impatiently.
Li Qi was stunned when he said this.
The White Rhino Army seems to have no commander.
There is indeed no one in Zhenguan.
Damn it, Bailin Kingdom gave up resistance? ?
The people were also lost, the town was also lost, and the only army that saw the people gathering was concealed by the general, abandoned the army and fled! ?
Only a group of soldiers who dared to fight were left to starve where they were, protecting the people and waiting to die?
If people are really sent to Baiding Mountain, will the local government in Baiding Mountain still accept them? If they do not enter their household registration and refuse to be taken in, wouldn’t all these people become refugees?
Hundreds of thousands of refugees, etc...
The beggars I saw in the city before were not an exception.
Bailin Kingdom, really let all the people in Zhenguan and Zhenguan wait for death?
The officer watched Li Qi's expression gradually change, from suppressed anger, to shock and sluggishness, then to rage, then took a deep breath, and finally turned into a complex expression with an indescribable expression.
His face turned from white to red, then red to green, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal.
A series of changes amused the officer. He took a sip from the wine bag and handed it to Li Qi: "Okay, don't be angry, brother. At least you are in Guangyang City now and don't have to wait to die. That's it." Good thing, come and take a sip to relieve your anger."
After hearing this, Li Qi finally regained his senses.
He took a look at the officers and listless sergeants here, and finally understood why they were so decadent.
In this case, ghosts will appear only if they are not decadent.
However, it was impossible for him to be decadent, as more than 100,000 people were still waiting for him to return with food.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I still have important matters to do. I can't drink, so I'll take my leave." Li Qi took several deep breaths in succession, said with cupped hands, and then turned around and left.
"Hey, don't leave. What other military duties do you have? You don't want to go back and die, do you? You people who came from the town are just stupid. I have seen a few idiots like you in the past few months. Don't be like that. Axis." The officer watched Li Qi leave and waved to him drunkenly.
But Li Qi didn't look back, quickly walked to the old horse, got on the horse, and ran forward.
Along the way, Li Qi was silent, constantly thinking about things in his mind.
"Lululu..." The old horse neighed and slowed down, as if he was worried about Li Qi.
"Don't worry, keep going, let's go see the prefect." Li Qi stroked the old horse's mane and comforted him.
The old horse shook his head and felt 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 department in Guangyang City is probably in a state of ruin. Guangyang Sima is obsessed with Buddhism and completely ignores political affairs. He has neither organized grain collection nor distributed grain, and now the 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 know, then they still haven't solved it, which means that the matter is already a bit big. I'm afraid it won't be solved that easily. It should involve more junk things in the court.
If they don't know, it means that it may just be Sima's poor communication. It may be solved after reporting, but the side effect will be to offend Guangyang Sima.
Li Qi is not afraid of offending people. The worst he can do is run away. He doesn't live here and doesn't worry about it, so in the best case scenario, this is what happens.
But there is a worst-case scenario.
That is, Guangyang Situ and Guangyang Prefect are the same as Guangyang Sima.
Then the problem becomes a headache, which means that at the official level, Li Qi cannot get any help, and he has to raise food on his own.
Enough to feed more than 100,000 people for a month... No, it's not enough. To provide enough food for the people to sustain the next harvest after they migrate, at least 300,000 dan will be needed.
Apart from the official level, how could other places collect so much food in a short period of time?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible to do. However, with more than 100,000 lives on his shoulders, how could he just get over it with just four words: "It was impossible to do."
Li Qi closed his eyes and kept thinking, talking to himself unconsciously, while recalling the current situation of Guangyang City he saw along the way.
"Think about it, think about it, there are millions of people in Guangyang City, how much food do they need every day? There is no famine in Guangyang City yet, which shows that it has its own means of receiving and storing food. If I can find this method, just over 300,000 stones will only consume Guangyang City for eight or nine days, and Guangyang City will definitely be able to supply it," Li Qi murmured.
So, 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 food and meat that Guangyang City consumes every day.
Wait until clues are found before making the next plan.
After all, there are too few clues now, and the room for operation is small. The more you know, the more you can do. Planning is actually trying to achieve the ending you want through the known things. If you don’t know anything, then talk about it. Instead of planning, all you can do is act recklessly.
Li Qi thought so and simply asked Lao Ma to stop.
Lao Ma was confused, but he still braked honestly.
Li Qi dismounted and took out a finger from his arms.
Just looking at this finger, you will feel that it is very beautiful. It is as tender as a green onion. Although it has been broken, it seems to be still alive. However, the cross section is very smooth and there is no bloody appearance. It makes people feel that it is a jade finger. .
It's really beautiful. It feels cool when you touch it, as if you are touching some extremely high-end material, which makes you feel very comfortable.
However, after all, it was just a severed finger, so it was still a bit scary.
This severed finger is from Shen Shui Bi.
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 pure body, immortal and invincible, so it is no different from when it was on her hand. Touching it was like touching her hand.
Of course, when Li Qi took out his fingers at this time, it was definitely not for touching.
He fell to the ground, because there happened to be a small river near Lao Ma at this time. Li Qi didn't know the name of the river, but this didn't stop him from coming over.
When he came to the river, he took out the Jiayu he had prepared for daily sacrifices and practice.
As the saying goes, jade and sacrifice are given to honor the river god.
First set up the altar and then enshrine it with jade.
Then run to the old horse.
The old horse snorted, rolled his eyes humanely, and looked at his mane distressedly.
One day, Li Qineng will turn himself into a bald man.
Li used his knife to cut off a small bunch of mane.
The so-called livestock refers to clean and pure livestock.
Although it seems a little wrong to say it, Lao Ma fits this requirement very well.
The mane of the dragon colt is offered as a sacrifice.
Use jade as a decoration.
By reciting the sacrificial words, the sacrificial ceremony is completed.
But he saw bubbles popping up in the deep water.
A small snake with green and black links quietly floated out of the water.
Then, she swam from the water to the shore and transformed into a beautiful woman with beautiful features, enchanting figure and slender waist, which made people dazzled.
But despite her temperament, her expression was very cautious. She appeared in front of Li Qi. After bowing, she solemnly asked: "It's really rude not to hold a banquet in advance when the great witch summons me. I still hope to see Haihan. I dare to ask if you can visit me late at night." What's the point?"
"The sudden interruption has already disturbed the Water God, but there are really some things that require the Water God's help. I specially offer a sacrifice and this wisp of pure water vapor. I hope the Water God can help." Li Qi cupped his hands and said politely.
"If there is anything I can do, I will never refuse." The water god accepted the sacrifice and said so.
"I ask the Water God to remember the aura on this thing and pass a message to me." Li Qi took out his severed finger and showed it to the Water God he had summoned.
The water god raised his head and his pupils suddenly shrank into vertical pupils.
Then, as if she was struck by lightning, she stepped back violently, and her whole body flew out. Her clothes took off, and a blue-black water snake got directly into the water and hid.
Without him, her sixth sense sensed strong fear.
Magnificent, huge, and cold, it is like the full moon in the sky, eternal and eternal, hanging high in the sky.
It is a noble existence that must never be touched, a holy thing that can only be seen from a distance but cannot be touched.
If she is disrespected, I am afraid that just one look can crush her soul and body, and she will not even have a chance to be reincarnated.
Just feeling this aura made the water god of this river so frightened that he immediately revealed his true form and ran away.
After a few minutes, she swam back tremblingly and asked with her snake body: "Witch...what is this?"
Li Qi sighed, overestimating the landscape gods in these small places, but he still said: "Has the water god remembered the aura on this thing?"
The water god smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'll never forget it in this life."
"This thing is a treasure. I won't introduce it in detail. The breath on it leads to an eighth-grade powerful... I want to ask the Water God to use water to connect the four directions and use the method of mountain and water communication to bring it to her for me. A message." Li Qi said again.
"I don't dare to refuse the request from the great witch, but...what does the eighth grade mean?" the water god asked.
"Well, the Water God practices Shinto methods. What state are you in now?" Li Qi felt a big headache after hearing this, so he asked one more question.
"As for me, I am in the Golden Body Realm now. Why does the great witch ask this?" asked the Water God.
"In terms of the Golden Body Realm, the eighth level... is probably the Divine Soul Realm. If you compare it with an analogy, it's probably at this level." Li Qi made an estimate and said.
"Spirit of God!?" The Water God was startled. This was three realms higher than her! She is the type who can kill her with one hand.
