It is a relatively protruding stone halfway up the mountain, which is large and shaped like a steamed bun.

The hunter-like man stood here, and when Li Qi walked up to him, he didn't seem to have come to his senses.

The moment Li Qi said to him, you shouldn't brag, he didn't seem to have recovered from the shock.

However, the moment Li Qi walked up to him, he smiled.

"You shouldn't brag either."

He said to Li Qi.

I don't know when there was another person on this big rock.

Just behind Li Qi, a horizontal knife was placed on Li Qi's shoulder.

It seems that as long as he is willing, with a slight touch, he can cut Li Qi's neck open.

Orion said: "Now you can see who shouldn't brag?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "You." ”

Orion looked at the knife on Li Qi's shoulder, and then realized that the knife was not on Li Qi's shoulder.

Instead, he was pinched by Li Qi.

Li Qi's left hand pinched the back of the knife when it appeared, and the knife seemed to be caught in iron tongs.

So the knife just looked, as if it could easily cut Li Qi's neck.

But the knife couldn't be pulled back, let alone slashed forward.

Li Qi's right hand was originally hanging down, but at this time it had been stretched out backwards, and he didn't look back.

And the iron hammer that slipped out of the cuff of his right arm was against the throat of the man behind him.

The tip of the drill had been slightly pierced, and a drop of blood was slowly sliding down the drill.

"Not everyone has the ability to brag at will."

Li Qi pulled left and right, and the knife was immediately pulled over by him.

Half a breath later, the knife landed on the shoulder of the hunter, before the hunter drew the knife.

Li Qi said: "Now, is it okay to talk well?" ”

The man behind him: "I can be sure that you are not from Jieshi Prefecture." ”

Li Qi said: "Why are you sure? ”

The man replied, "You don't want to kill." ”

Li Qi said: ", if I determine my identity because I don't want to kill people, you have already determined it just now, and it will not be difficult for me to kill your subordinates who are hiding in the shadows." ”

The man nodded: "It was already decided then, but I don't want to suffer." ”

Li Qi suddenly laughed.

This kind of thing makes him feel so kind.

He withdrew the knife in his left hand and threw it back, and the distant Shotai Pressure Realm reached out to catch the knife.

Li Qi looked back at the person behind him, a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

The skin is somewhat dark, apparently caused by perennial exposure to wind and sun.

The figure is good, the body is strong, and the figure can be comparable to the pressure of the Tai, but in terms of appearance, it is far worse.

This is just the appearance of an ordinary person, after all, there are not many people in this world who can win by appearance.

The top three people in Jizhou who can eat with their faces are all in the Ning army.

Because I don't want to suffer, Li Qi became interested in this person.

The young man was also looking at him, and Li Qi saw a light in his eyes.

So Li Qi sighed in his heart.

Damn it.

Another man who was conquered by my handsome appearance appeared.

Li Qi said: "You shouldn't be Lord Heden Kehe." ”

Then he saw the light in the young man's eyes, brighter and brighter.

"Are you...... Are you Li Qi? ”

The man asked in surprise.

Li Qi was stunned.

He didn't expect that in this place, there would be people who knew him.

Li Qi asked, "Why do you know me?" ”

The young man was visibly agitated, and he stumbled a little when he spoke.

"You don't know me, but I know you."

The young man became more and more excited, and said, "I."

, I am a disciple of Jizhou Four Pages Academy, just a few years older than you, and I am in the same class as Xiahou Zhuo. ”

Li Qi was also pleasantly surprised: "It turned out to be a senior brother." ”

The young man hurriedly said: "You can't call it that, you are already the king of Ning, and I know everything about you." ”

Li Qi said: "Don't care what I am, you are also a senior brother of the same sect." ”

The young man said: "That, my name is He Shanxue, He Dengke is my eldest brother, he is the county commander of Gaogang County, and I am Gaogang County to help him do things." ”

This is really unexpected, I didn't expect to meet my classmates from Four Pages Academy here.

This person is a few years older than Li Qi, and he has always kept a low profile in the academy.

His family background is not very good, so he never causes trouble in the Four Pages Academy, and he is not that kind of character.

After graduating from Siye Academy, he left Jizhou and returned to his hometown, preparing to go to the capital with Dean Gao's recommendation to seek a future.

However, not long after arriving home, Prince Yu led his troops to attack Anyang City, and the family was worried that he would have an accident when he crossed the river at that time, so the matter was delayed.

Later, the world was changing, and he couldn't make it to the capital when he wanted to.

His eldest brother He Dengke happened to be an official in Gaogang County, not far from his home, so he came to take refuge.

He Shanxue said: "It was really rude just now, we thought it was a thief from Jieshi Prefecture." ”

He looked at Li Qi and said, "Yes, it's the thief who pretended to be you." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "I came to find trouble with that dummy emperor this time, so I came to visit Lord Heden Kehe, he is on the mountain?" ”

The Orion sighed and said, "I am." ”

An hour later, in the cottage hall.

He Dengke, the county magistrate who is nearly forty years old, took on his robe and gave Li Qi a big salute.

Li Qi hurriedly helped him up: "Lord He, there is no need for this. ”

He Dengke said: "His Royal Highness King Ning, you are the lord of Jizhou canonized by His Majesty, and as an official under Jizhou, I should be so." ”

Li Qi said: "If that's the case, you shouldn't worship me even more, I've heard that the fake one was also crowned by His Majesty the Emperor, then when you see him, don't you have to bow down." ”

He Dengke was stunned, but he didn't think about this problem.

Li Qi helped him and said, "Let's sit down and talk, you are my brother, and you are also my brother." ”

He Shanxue said: "Big brother, I said it, His Royal Highness King Ning is different from others, he is a person of true temperament, gentle and humble, loyal and upright. ”

Standing in the back, he said, look, this is an outsider......

But anyone who is familiar with Li Qi will not think so.

Hedenko asked, "Who is this?" ”

Li Qi introduced: "His name is Shantai Pressing, he is the son of the Liangzhou general Shantaiqi, and now he is temporarily working in Jizhou, China. ”

As soon as He Dengke heard the name of Liangzhou General Xuantaiqi, his face changed again.

The reputation of the Taiqi is too loud in Da Chu, and it is the door god of Da Chu in the northwest frontier.

The Tangtai family has been a secretary of state for generations, and the era guards Xiliang, as long as the name of the Tangtai family is mentioned, which one is not in awe.

He Dengke hurriedly leaned over to the Shantai pressure realm and said, "Meet the general of the Shantai." ”

The Tai Pressure Realm also hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him.

After another hour, Li Qi had almost understood the affairs of Jieshi Prefecture from the mouths of He Dengke and others.

This Chang Xing was originally a businessman, and he had some brains, and he did a lot of business in Jieshi Prefecture.

Later, there were rebellions in various places, and Chang Xing thought that if a rebel army came to fight, it would be useless to do his business no matter how big it was.

With the escort team in his hand, there are only two or three hundred people in total, and he doesn't even have the strength to resist at all.

So he made one of the most important choices of his life.

He spent a lot of money to buy a group of people with a very bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and also bought the government offices in various parts of Jieshi Prefecture, and bought a large number of death row prisoners and felons.

In half a year, the size of the team expanded to more than 1,000 people.

The next regular operation shows the ruthless side of his character.

He used these death row felons bought from the government to invade a county town and kill all the officials of the county government.

He snatched all the money he bought, but he didn't keep a penny for himself, but gave it all to these bandits.

The bandits, who got the sweetness, began to attack other county seats.

Because he was afraid of being attacked by the Rogue rebels, Chang Xing formed a team of Rogue rebels.

Over the next two years, the regular team snowballed in size to more than 10,000 people.

At this time, there was no one in Jieshi Prefecture who could restrain him anymore.

It was at this time that he heard about the legend of the Jizhou Emperor.

On the day he heard this legend, Chang Xing knew that this was a great opportunity, an opportunity to take him further.

After Li Qi inquired about all these things clearly, he had a new judgment on this practice.

"In fact, many people know that Chang Xing is not a human emperor."

He Dengke said: "But the interests of many people have been tied to Changxing. ”

He looked at Li Qi and continued: "At the beginning, He Dengke dared to attack the county government, and he didn't dare to offend those famous families in the local area. ”

"Later, his power soared, and these famous families began to look at his face and secretly support him."

"These people know that he is not a human emperor, but they spare no effort to proclaim that he is a human emperor."

He Dengke sighed: "It's nothing more than wanting to get a piece of the pie from it, a while ago, His Majesty made Chang the king of the north and ordered him to attack you......"

He paused, his face a little ugly.

He was a serious court official, a magistrate.

But he almost witnessed this absurd and bizarre performance, so how much disappointment he felt in his heart for the court, the emperor, and Da Chu?

"But Chang Xing only agreed on the surface, of course he knows how difficult Jizhou is, and people like him also know the emperor's intentions."

"On the surface, he was very excited to accept the reward of the king of the north and announced that he would move troops against Jizhou."

"But in fact, he was building the big city before the Chin sent him."

Standing next to him, He Shan Xue said: "The state-governed city of Jieshi Prefecture, named Dongye City, was built on Dongye Mountain, and the city was built according to the mountain. ”

"In the past year, he has built a large and strong wall on the Higashino Castle."

"The scale of this Dongye City is enough to garrison more than 100,000 troops, and it is no longer a mountain city, but an incomparably huge and strong fortress."

Hearing this, Li Qixin said Old Tang, Old Tang, I may not be able to go back to Jizhou in time for the New Year as you said.

When you celebrate the New Year in Jizhou, I hope you can think more about me, this poor child who can't go back home.

It's all up to you.

A fortress built according to the mountain, with more than 100,000 defenders......

Relying on the 12,000 Ning army brought by Li Qi, if you want to defeat Dongye City, the possibility is almost zero.

Li Qi exhaled slowly.

He Shanxue was still excited, he looked at Li Qi and asked, "King Ning, are you here to attack Dongye City, to exterminate that group of brutal and unkind rebels?" ”

Li Qi smiled wryly: "Yes......"

He Shanxue laughed and said, "Great! Those who persevere should have been punished a long time ago, they have done too many evil deeds, and now that you have come, their retribution will come. ”

Li Qixin said, Senior Brother, when did you have such trust in me?

He Shanxue asked excitedly, "Your Highness, how many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”

Li Qi laughed: "Hahahahaha...... Let's not talk about that yet. ”

He asked, "Have you ever been to Higashino Castle?" ”

He Shanxue said: "I've been there!" I went to see it secretly a while ago. ”

Li Qi said: "Then how many people do you think I need to be able to defeat Dongye City?" ”

He Shanxue said: "I know that His Highness's Ning army is strong, and I have heard of it for a long time, but to break through such a strong city, it will take at least 100,000 horses. ”

Li Qi nodded, and he looked at the Pressed Realm.

The Pressed Realm sighed softly.

What Li Qi saw in the eyes of the Taitai Pressure Realm was...... Going back now may be the only way to spend the New Year in Jizhou in time.
