"Lord, please see, this river is called Jingxiang River, the widest part of the river is 500 meters, and the narrowest part of the upstream is 50 meters. Crossing the Jingxiang River, and then 300 miles forward, is Feiyang Mansion, where there is a male city in the southernmost part of our China. Zhuge Fengbo pointed to the sparkling Jingxiangjiang in front of him and explained it carefully.

In the past few days, Li Tiancai not only found out the situation near the village from the sentry horseman, but also roughly understood the basic situation of this world from Zhiduoxing Zhuge Fengbo.

In this continent called the Dongsheng Continent, there are mainly seven major forces, Huaxia, Hulu, Gaoli, Yuelan, Xiju, Qidan, Menggu, some similar to the Warring States period of Chinese history.

The Dongsheng continent is vast and sparsely populated, and human beings mainly live in groups as tribal units. There are still many wild places occupied by fierce beasts on the continent, and there are countless dangerous places, which are all forbidden areas for human activities.

Among them, Huaxia occupies the center of the mainland, also known as the country of the Central Plains, with a vast territory and a large population, and is the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength among the seven major forces.

There were seven princes in the Huaxia Kingdom, each occupying a state capital. The central hinterland is the Central Plains Mansion, which is the essence of the whole of China.

Ji Kangming, the king of the Central Plains, is the co-lord of the kings of China on the face and has the authority to command the world.

The other six princely capitals were each facing foreign forces that were eyeing each other, and these six princely capitals were the barrier of the Huaxia State against foreign invasions.

What frightened Li Tiancai was that his village was isolated from the Huaxia sphere of influence by the Heavenly Danger Jingxiang River, and Dǐng was directly in front of the Yuelan looting road, which was simply 24 pure gold cannon fodder.

Although there were not many wars between Huaxia and Yuelan, the very aggressive Yuelan, almost every year or two, would come out to fight the autumn wind, harass the border, and loot property and population.

Historically, Yue Lan took advantage of the extreme natural disasters in China to go north by boat to harass and plunder the hinterland of China.

Looking at the fact that there were four nests around the village, a thief's nest and a horse thief's nest, Li Tiancai felt even more restless.

Li Tiancai looked at the wide river, and there were several fishing boats in the microwave ripples, fishing with loose nets, and the traffic between the two sides of the strait was ushered in by a few ferries upstream.

After pondering for a long time, Li Tiancai turned to Situ Lan and said: "If we want to develop and grow in Donggan Village, ↑dǐng↑diǎn↑小↑ said, .∨.o⊥s_(); To maintain long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to strengthen ties with China north of the Jingxiang River. The river is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle, and our priority is to build a bridge! ”

Situ Lan said: "What the village elder said is that the geographical location of our Donggan Village is both superior and very sinister. It is indeed very necessary to strengthen commerce and trade with the powerful Feiyang Province, exchange information and maintain good relations. ”

Li Tiancai said: "Well, since this is the case, you go back and discuss with Shang Boxian of the Ministry of Industry to see if we have the ability to build a stone arch bridge across both sides of the strait." ”

Speaking of this, Li Tiancai couldn't help but think of the most famous Zhaozhou Bridge in China, which is a great miracle in the history of world architecture, and he didn't know if the stonemasons in his village had this ability now.

Situ Lan arched his hands and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Li Tiancai turned over and got on the horse, grabbed the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and said, "Come with me, let's go to Fuhuzhuang today!" ”

Fuhuzhuang is located 40 miles west of Donggan Village, only a stone's throw away from the steep Lishu Mountain.

After about an hour of turbulence, Li Tiancai and his party finally came to a mountain col near Fuhuzhuang. Looking down, the village is in close proximity.

I saw that Fuhuzhuang was located on a flat land, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there were solid stone walls on the periphery of the village's residential area. There are also dozens of patchwork fields around the village, where many villagers farm.

"Lord, this is Fuhu Village, the whole village has a population of more than 1,000 people, and they make a living by hunting and farming! This Fuhu Village is a large village within a radius of 100 miles, and the folk customs are very strong, and even the ferocious thieves are very jealous. "Zhuge Fengbo is full of travel experience, and he is very familiar with the situation in the world and the customs of various places.

"If you don't be ruthless, you can't stand firm!" In this world of fighting with the sky, the earth, and people, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive, without the slightest mercy and sympathy.

When Li Tiancai and others stopped to watch on the hillside, the villagers working in the fields also saw their group.

An old woman put down the farm tools in her hand, pulled her wife, and said, "Old man, look at who are there there, how do I feel that something is wrong?" Could it be that those bandits want to rob again? ”

The old man's body tightened, and he looked in the direction of the old woman, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he said: "Old woman, hurry up and call the big guys to go back to the village first, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" I've got to go back and report it first! ”

Hearing this, the old woman's heart became even more frightened, and she immediately opened her throat and shouted: "Big flower, second flower, third aunt......"

"Huh, what's going on?" Li Tiancai suddenly saw dozens of villagers, carrying farm tools, and running towards the village in a hurry, and was puzzled.

"Hehe, lord, they must have seen us, thinking that we are bandits and bandits who are taking the lead!" Zhuge Fengbo quickly understood the trick and explained with a smile.

"Huh? Brother looks so handsome, how can he look like a thief? We're not devils, okay! Li Tiancai patted his head, feeling helpless, he was going to go down the mountain for a field trip and chat with these indigenous people, but he didn't expect to scare people away just by standing here.

"Lord, look, there's a situation there!" Situ Lan nervously pointed to the distance.

"Wow! How did this script turn upside down? Li Tiancai glanced at it and was shocked to find more than a dozen beasts, chasing a group of hunters dressed as young men.

The group of young men looked very wolf, not to mention their clothes were tattered, and almost all of them were injured, and several of them were carried on their backs, and the injuries were obviously not light.

"Whoa", not knowing what the beasts were stimulating, rushed towards the crowd one by one, completely ignoring the threat of steel forks and hunting bows.

"Ah", a strong man just pierced the steel fork into the neck of a gray wolf, and was directly bitten off the throat by a leopard that pounced, and before he could scream, he was bloodied and fell to the ground.

Strangely, the leopard and the beast behind him, completely ignoring the corpse that had fallen to the ground, did not go to have a full meal, but still rushed forward one after another.

"Don't move here, I'll save people!" After Li Tiancai gave an order, he kicked the horse's stomach with his foot and rode down the hillside.

It stands to reason that the horse should not be allowed to run when going downhill, because the horse's front legs are not as strong as the hind legs, which is very dangerous and can easily cause the horse to lose its front hooves.

But saving people is like fighting fire, the situation is critical, Li Tiancai can't take care of it anymore, while controlling the horse with his feet, he bends his bow and shoots, and shoots towards the bloodthirsty leopard.
