Although it rained heavily, the air in Guisui Town was still very dry. Before the drought passed, the departure of the dragon god was like a thunderbolt, knocking on the hearts of every person in Guisui Town.

The people of Guisui Town are in groups of three or five and worship the dragon god in the wild ancestral hall outside the town. Qi Wuge had already called on the hunters to post notices informing them of the situation of the dragon god scales, hoping to appease people's hearts.

However, in Li Laiheng's opinion, things are quite strange. The people of Guisui Town did not settle down because of the notice, but worshipped more diligently in the wild ancestral hall.

He walked to a remote ancestral hall, and saw that there was no catch, and the worshippers gradually dispersed, so he planned to inquire about the news.

An old man with a withered character, supported by a child, slowly knelt in front of the portrait of the dragon god and bowed reverently. He obviously has inconvenient legs and feet, so he can only wait for the crowd to disperse before he can worship the dragon god properly.

"Uncle, I see that everyone here is worshipping this dragon god, is this dragon god spiritual?" Li Laiheng said with a smile.

The old man looked at him vigilantly, slowly stood up, and blocked the child behind him: "You are not a local?"

"I'm a soldier, just discharged from the army, don't you want to go back to your hometown in Hexi, passing by you, seeing this scene, I just asked. Li Laiheng said half-truths and half-truths, still full of spring breeze.

The old man looked at Li Laiheng carefully again, and saw that he was wearing a coarse cloth arrow robe and bast shoes, and the vigilance in his eyes was mostly missing.

"You say you're a soldier? I don't believe it. The old man still stood in front of the child and said suspiciously.

Li Laiheng stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle, you see, I have done farm work and held the hand of the firecracker." ”

Li Laiheng did not lie, one of his palms was wide and strong, the joints were obvious, and the index finger had thick calluses, which were the traces of long-term work and shooting. The old man looked at it and immediately believed it.

"Uncle, you seem to be very afraid?" Li Laiheng noticed the strangeness and asked kindly. "Is there anything you dare not say?"

The old man frowned, looked at no one around, sighed, and then whispered: "You are a foreigner, go back to Hexi if you have nothing to do." We, Hedong, are not a place for people to stay now. ”

"Is it because of the drought?" Li Laiheng saw that the old man's reaction was so great, and his heart began to throb inexplicably.

"It's not just the drought, it's the afterlife, you better don't ask more, you know too much, there will be disaster. The old man said kindly.

"It's all Qi Wuge's scourge, he's a scourge spirit. The child behind the old man shouted.

The old man immediately covered the child's mouth, looked around again, and hurriedly said, "My grandson is not sensible, don't take his words seriously." ”

"Housheng, listen to my advice, you better leave quickly. Now outsiders are not allowed to enter the city, and suspicious outsiders have to be arrested. ”

Li Laiheng raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to arrest outsiders?"

"That Qiwu Ge collected all the food for disaster relief in one place and hid it in his own grain store. Although there was no one around for a long time, the old man still whispered.

"Originally, the relief food was white rice, but now we can only receive bran. If it weren't for the dragon god's appearance, we would have to live on bran. ”

"Once the sergeant sees that you are out of town, he will not be allowed to enter the city. If a grain merchant from another place came in, he would be taken away. ”

"This Qiwu song is so bold?" Li Laiheng said in surprise. "He's just a royal family, and he can still manipulate the criminal name, what is the county order of Guisui Town doing?"

The old man sighed: "The county order was originally in collusion with him, otherwise how could the grain for disaster relief enter his grain shop? After the dragon god came, he paid tribute to the dragon god, and it was even more lawless." ”

Li Laiheng sighed silently: "No wonder Qiwu Ge posted a notice, you are still worshipping the dragon god." This Qiwu singer holds the scales of the dragon god, which is simply holding your life. ”

"Who says it's not?" said the old man bitterly after worshipping the dragon god. "Housheng, you should go back to your hometown in Hexi, it's better than our Hedong. ”

With that, the old man, supported by the children, left the wild ancestral hall.

Shi Yuanji and his entourage returned to the newly found inn, sorted out the records of the day, and rested separately.

At the end of the hour, he sat on the bed in the guest room, practicing the dragon machine technique, and waited for Li Laiheng to come back.

There was a knock on the window, and Li Laiheng actually climbed through the window to enter. Shi Yuanji didn't open his eyes, but asked quietly, "What did you hear?"

"Well, it's hard to inquire. As soon as Li Laiheng entered the house, he picked up the teapot and drank water with a clatter. "This Qiwu Song is really a snake on the ground, and he is so in control that the people of Guisui Town dare not say anything about him. Fortunately, there are many people in Guisui Town, I found more than a dozen people, inquired about the east and west, and finally understood. ”

"Oh?" Shi Yuanji said curiously, opening his eyes, stepping out of bed. "What is the reputation of this Qiwu Song in Guisui Town?"

"The people of Guisui Town say that he is a scourge. Then, Li Laiheng told everything about the day. "I inquired about it and found out that the land, mountains and forests of Guisui Town are all Qiwu songs. ”

Shi Yuanji felt cold inexplicably, Qi Wuge was usually full of spring, but he was so ruthless behind his back. Even the worship of the dragon god is for business.

"Grain line?" Shi Yuanji repeated two words and sneered. "Embezzling disaster relief food, this Qiwu song is also powerful enough. ”

Li Laiheng said mysteriously: "Master, if you go to Hongsang Town, this kind of thing will be more common. ”

"Got it, you go and rest, I'll be careful of Qiwuge. ”

Li Laiheng Shili exited the room, and Kui Wood Wolf walked out of the shadows: "Master Hou, I found out, Qi Wuge did take advantage of the drought to buy a lot of boys and girls. These boys and girls were originally going to Qiwu Gefu to be slaves and maids, but now they are gone. ”

"Some time ago, Qi Wuge frequently entered the mountains and forests in the north, and no one knew what he was doing, which coincided with the time when we killed Ouyang Lihua. ”

Seeing that Shi Yuanji didn't ask why Ouyang Lihua was still alive, Kui Wood Wolf secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Shi Yuanji nodding silently, and had a plan in his heart.

"Qi Wuge has already contacted Jiang Renyun, and when the time comes, we will wait for the opportunity to move. Shi Yuanji said.

Kui Timber Wolf stood respectfully in place, as if he had something to say.

"What's the matter, worried about not having enough manpower?" said Shi Yuanji with a smile.

"Master Hou, I have a reluctant request. Kui Timberwolf's eyes showed a rare sense of discussion.

Shi Yuanji clasped his arms to his chest and said curiously, "Tell me about it." ”

"Master Hou, today you asked me to look at Li Laiheng, I have some ideas. Timber Wolf carefully considered the words.

He specially chose a remote ancestral hall to inquire about the news, and chose the old man or a simple person as the target. At the end of the day, I negotiated with 16 people and confirmed the details repeatedly. ”

"I have to admit that this Li Laiheng is very set: careful, bold, and principled. I kind of understand why he, a demon-level veteran sergeant, was valued by Ouyang Xuan and His Majesty, and was rewarded to you. ”

"Aren't you just complimenting him?" Shi Yuanji said, pinching his chin and looking directly into the eyes of the Kui Wood Wolf. "Or do you want to dig a corner from me?"

"Master Hou calculates deeply. A rare smile appeared on Kui Timberwolf's face. "Although he is not a natural disaster, he cannot be ranked as a star monarch. But he has a lot of potential to be the leader of the side stars. I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will become the first person under the Star Monarch. ”

Shi Yuanji nodded, acknowledging Kui Mu Wolf's words, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Don't think about it." ”

Kui Wood Wolf's smile became sluggish as Shi Yuanji nodded and shook his head, and he asked puzzledly, "Master Hou, why?"

"I asked him to be my guard at the beginning, just because I fancy his different potential, how can I let you take away my love. Shi Yuanji said with a smile.

Kui Timber Wolf sighed silently, did not speak, and looked a little depressed.

"Alright, I'm going to rest. You four Star Monarchs are ready, we are going to have a big battle with Jiang Renyun. Shi Yuanji said firmly.

......

After some nonsense between Qi Wuge and Shi Yuanji, ** reluctantly decided that Shi Yuanji was going to play in the mountains and rivers. After all, after the propaganda of the Emperor of Heavenly Mandate, everyone thought that Shi Yuanji was from the royal family. It's normal for two royals to go out to play.

"Don't worry, Jiang Renyun will come. ”

Qi Wuge's face was full of spring breeze, but in Shi Yuanji's eyes, this spring breeze-like smile did not make him feel warm.

Shi Yuanji is used to walking mountain roads, but it doesn't hurt, but Qiwu Ge is refreshed, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, which makes Shi Yuanji muttered to himself.

"I have a reluctant request. Qi Wuge asked cautiously.

The mountain breeze caressed the woods around the two of them swayed slightly, and other than that, there was no other sound. Shi Yuanji looked at Qi Wuge calmly, and Qi Wuge's face was apprehensive, and his eyes wandered.

"Hehou of the Coincidence, to tell you the truth, I only learned about Ouyang Xuan's rebellion. Later, I learned that the explosion in the West Market was your handiwork, and Ouyang Xuan jumped over the wall in a hurry because of this. ”

"I ...... I've done a few things, but I'm forced to do it. The White Dragon Prince is pressing, and Jiang Renyun is also aggressive. ”

"I can't do it, so I can do the trick of shooting flowers. Overlapping Hou, you are a celebrity by His Majesty's side, you have to say a few good words for me, I don't want to die. ”

After that, Qi Wuge actually knelt in front of Shi Yuanji with a thud.
