A large long wooden barrel was filled with hot water, but the water was not hot enough.

In winter, the water temperature may be a little warmer, so that's comfortable.

After Li Qi threw himself into the big wooden barrel, he felt that the whole world was so beautiful.

Soaking in the water is like a gentle full-body massage.

Those sore and uncomfortable places were all healed in an instant.

Lying in the bucket, Li Qi exhaled uncontrollably.

There was a tray next to the large wooden barrel, and Gao Xining swore that she had everything ready for bathing.

Gentle and romantic.

There was soap, there were towels, and there were flower petals, which she said could melt a person's hard heart.

So Li Qi glanced at the tray next to him and saw it in the tray..... Sichuan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves......

Li Qi snorted and laughed.

You just say, there is such a thing at home, are you happy?

He soaked for half an hour before he came out, took another shower, and changed into clean clothes from the inside out.

When I was dressing, I found that the underwear was definitely made by Gao Xining himself.

Who else but her.

The shirt was embroidered with a few crooked but particularly eye-catching words...... Everyone loves it.

The shirt is embroidered with flowers.

Li Qixin said open your big head.

After taking a shower, he asked about the battle situation outside the city, and his men replied that General Tang had not returned yet.

Li Qi thought about it, although there was nothing to worry about, he still couldn't help but want to go to the city wall to take a look at the situation.

When Tang Pidi said to fight, he didn't really fight, but mainly to scare people.

The Anyang Army, which had been flooded, would be afraid to see the banner of the Ning Army from afar.

At this time, Tang Pidi led his troops to kill the past, don't say that he can't go, and the past will be drowned together.

Li Qi started sneezing after walking a few steps, several times in a row.

Yu Jiuling followed behind him, and he called Yu Jiuling and said a name.

Li Qi sneezed, and Yu Jiuling said that this is Liu Yao, the ruler of Anyang Mansion, who is missing you.

Li Qi sneezed again, and Yu Jiuling said that this is the little marquis of the Cao family, Cao Lie, who is missing you.

Li Qi sneezed again, and Yu Jiuling said that I salute Li Yi on behalf of all my colleagues in Xingshengde.

Li Qi looked around, and Yu Jiuling smiled contemptuously: "Do you want to learn from my brother Ning to find Tu Qila again?" Unexpectedly, when I came back from Anyang, the first thing I did was to sweep the ground. ”

Li Qi: "......"

They soon arrived at the south of Jizhou and went up to the city wall to watch, only to find that Tang Pi was really fighting.

Looking at the side of the Dading River through clairvoyance, I saw countless small boats.

At this time, the flood peak has passed, and although the water behind it is still large, it does not have the kind of overwhelming power.

Tang rivaled them in small boats and pursued those Anyang troops in the river.

Seeing this scene, Li Qi remembered what Tang Pidi said not long ago.

"Have you ever thought that people like me were put down by God?"

The timing of the release of the water was very good, it was the time when the Anyang Army Brigade crossed the river, and when they saw that Hong Feng had arrived, they didn't even have time to run.

I don't know how many people were drowned in the water, and the people in the rear team tried to rescue but it was too late.

At this moment, there was also a shout in the city, and Li Qi walked to the other side of the city wall to look down, and then his eyes lit up.

The two fat Taoists walked side by side to this side, and the people on both sides of the road bowed down to them.

It looks extremely respectful, even a little fanatical.

Li Qixin said that Zhang Yuxu and Peng Seventeen, the two little fat people, do have some ability.

However, in this troubled world, what can the people believe?

At this moment, Zhang Yuxu looked at the city wall and saw Li Qi, who was standing there with his hands on the city wall and looking at the two of them.

I don't know what Zhang Yuxu raised his finger to say to Li Qi's side, and the people immediately looked at Li Qi's side.

After a while, someone knelt down and paid homage to Li Qi.

This startled Li Qi.

More and more people knelt down, and this worship looked like they were worshipping a great god who could save the suffering.

Waiting for Zhang Yuxu and Peng Seventeen to come up, Li Qi hurriedly asked, "What demon method did you two use for the people?" ”

Zhang Yuxu said: "Actually, it's nothing ......"

Li Qi

When you see him talking like that, you know there must be something.

Li Qi asked again, and Zhang Yuxu answered Li Qi's question hesitantly.

In fact, for Li Qi, what can be understood is that Zhang Yuxu did just use some small means, and it was also a way to deceive people on the rivers and lakes.

Not long after Li Qi left Jizhou, Zhang Yuxu sent people around to say that there was a road in the city that was in disrepair, and that craftsmen were recruited to repair the road, and the wages were good.

This can naturally attract people, so when people are building roads, it is logical to dig out a stone man.

Peng Qiqi smiled: "I engraved the words, how do you say the carving?" ”

Li Qi said: "You didn't say what was carved, how do I know how it was carved." ”

Peng 17 said: "I forgot...... The words are also what I think, and the inscription behind the stone man is that the emperor came out of troubled times, and his surname is Li in the north. ”

Li Qi: "I'll make it!" ”

Zhang Yuxu said: "Look, I just said that this word is too shallow and rough, and there is no style at all." ”

Peng Seventeen said: "Fart! Do the people understand some of your things? You will understand this sentence as soon as you say it, and that's what you want, no matter who it is, you can understand it at a glance. ”

Li Qi said: "You guys play like this...... It's too big. ”

Zhang Yuxu said: "We played a small game, and General Tang heard about it after he came back, and he also played a game." ”

Li Qi said: "What did he do again?" ”

It turned out that after Tang Pidi came back, he heard about what Zhang Yuxu and Peng Qiqi had done, and he immediately became interested.

When he came back this time, he brought back dozens of people from the Nalan Grassland, although he didn't know what he was looking for, he just said that he was following Tang Pi to take a look.

Tang Pidi asked these people from the Nalan Grassland to help, and asked them to ask around Jizhou City to see if they knew a person with a word in his name.

They went to ask for several days, and the people of Jizhou City became curious.

So, it didn't take long for it to spread that a big event had happened in the grassland.

One dark night, a huge fireball fell from the sky, and all of a sudden, night turned into day.

The herdsmen on the grassland approached cautiously, only to find that it was a huge flying stone from the sky.

It can be several zhang high, and there is still fire on it, but two lines of Central Plains people's words can be clearly seen.

The line of words is: As soon as the flint falls, the emperor appears.

The other line of words is: Emperor Divine Soldiers Sweep Eight Desolations.

Li Qi was stunned when he heard this, and he sighed and said, "I think these two words are very thoughtful. ”

Peng Qiqi said: "Yes, I also said that Lao Tang thinks more about these two sentences than I think." ”

Li Qi said: "No one can believe this thing." ”

Zhang Yuxu sighed, and he pointed to the city.

Li Qi looked into the city again, but the people hadn't left yet, and they were still kowtowing to the city wall.

I heard it this time, and they shouted that the emperor blessed something or something.

The corners of Li Qi's mouth twitched.

He said in his heart that if he was below, he might have been placed on the offering table by the people.

In front of him was a large steamed bun with fresh melons and fruits, and three sticks of incense were smoking.

Zhang Yuxu said: "Take a look for yourself, Lao Tang's move is even more ruthless than the one we thought...... Now the people are speculating that you are the emperor of the people. ”

Peng 17 said: "This is the skill, if you tell the people directly, it may not work, stand on the street and shout, I am the son of destiny, and the reaction of the people is probably to see ...... Another stupid batch. ”

"But if you think of a way to let the people guess that this emperor is Li Qi, then the effect will be different."

Li Qi couldn't help but ask Zhang Yuxu: "How did you make up the name arbitrarily and return the emperor ......?"

Zhang Yuxu sighed: "One night, I had a dream. ”

Li Qi waved his hand: "Okay, don't say it." ”

He exhaled slowly, and shouted to the people, "Go home, get busy." ”

Peng Seventeen said: "You should say a few unfathomable words. ”

Li Qi: "Phew......"

Seeing the people get up and disperse, Li Qixin said what is this called.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something just now, so he asked, "You just said that Old Tang brought back a lot of people from the Nalan Grassland?" ”

Zhang Yuxu said: "Well, there can be as many as seventy or eighty people. ”

Li Qi asked, "What about people?" That's a guest, and I'm going to have to meet it. ”

Peng Seventeen said: "I've already left, I stayed in Jizhou for about seven or eight days and left, and I looked quite happy when I left." ”

Li Qi could only think about it for a while

Ask Don what's going on.

At the same time, Jizhou South.

The soldiers of the Anyang Army, who were frantically fleeing for their lives, did not know how far they had run out, and the crowd of the Chinese army, which was not flooded, ran back and collided with the rear team, and the rear team also began to run.

They didn't dare to stop, as if there was an invisible demon behind them, wielding a scythe to cut off their heads.

When I stopped at a high place, I dared to look back, only to find that what I saw was a mess.

The water did not catch up, but their souls were lost.

General Meng Kedi's face turned pale, and he was able to get out only because his war horse was good enough and fast enough.

He was at the front of the group, and he was already about to cross the river, but the flood came.

Meng Kedi galloped wildly, surpassing countless of his soldiers, which was an embarrassment that he had never led his troops to this day.

"General."

Ding Shengjia came up panting, and when he saw Meng Kedi's face was so ugly, he didn't dare to ask what he said later.

Meng Kedi let out a long breath, and he looked at the soldiers who were slumped on the ground around him, all of them were too tired to stand up.

Running wildly all the way, he may have squeezed out the last bit of strength in his bones.

"What about Xue Chunbao?"

Meng Kedi asked.

The people around them were all dazed.

When you run, who cares about whom?

Moreover, Xue Chunbao is the general of the vanguard army, and the vanguard army is the first to cross the river, so Xue Chunbao should have reached the other side of the river.

The water was overwhelming, how could Xue Chunbao come back.

Meng Kedi sighed, he also knew that Xue Chunbao should be blocked north of the Dading River.

He looked around again, and the embarrassment in his eyes made him angry and had to rejoice.

"Fortunately, the Jizhou defenders have limited strength, if they have enough troops, arrange an ambush here in advance, and they don't need many men and horses, only a few thousand light horsemen, they can beat us ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a terrible shout.

"Enemy attack!"

In the distance, a cloud of dust and smoke flew up.

It was as if a sandstorm had suddenly appeared, sweeping against the ground.

A moment later, they heard the thunder of hooves.

"Cavalry!"

"It's cavalry!"

Someone shouted hoarsely.

Not only cavalry, but the most powerful cavalry.

That team was small in number, only six thousand, but it was the most warlike Nalan grassland light cavalry.

They are like a strong wind, coming in an instant.

At the forefront of the charge was the great Ejin Tichana of the Nalan grassland.

Dading River.

On a high soil slope, about 100 soldiers of the Anyang Army gathered here, with despair on their faces.

In the crowd, Xue Chunbao's face was extremely angry.

If he could, he would want to rush into Jizhou City now and kill everyone, leaving no one behind.

"There are enemy troops!"

The soldier beside him shouted.

Several small boats came towards them, with only seven or eight people in each boat.

Xue Chunbao said angrily: "If you die, you have to pull them together and release arrows!" ”

In fact, there were not many bows and arrows carried by his men, and most of them fell off when they ran.

The feather arrow was shot but of little use, and was blocked by the Ning soldiers holding shields on the bow of the ship.

On the high slope, Xue Chunbao roared with red eyes: "Who dares to come over and fight with me!" ”

A figure leaped up from the boat, and he flew up on the bow of the boat, its stern raised high.

Tang Pidi moved forward with a gun, and Xue Chunbao's soldiers knew that they would die, so they all lashed out and rushed towards Tang Pi's enemy.

Tang's iron spear was like a dragon in the clouds, and the pace did not stop, and all the people who approached were killed and fell to the ground.

Xue Chunbao's eyes were blood-red, and he raised his Mo knife, swept it high by taking advantage of the terrain, and slashed down towards Tang in mid-air.

His martial arts are almost on par with Ding Shengjia, and Ding Shengjia doesn't want to really hurt the harmony, so he has a little tolerance for him.

Even so, Xue Chunbao's combat power can still rank in the top five in the entire Yuzhou.

A knife fell.

Tang Pi's spear shook, and a cloud of silver exploded in front of him.

A moment later, with a bang, Xue Chunbao's body fell to the ground, and the shot pierced the head and bled profusely back and forth.

Tang Pidi glanced at the corpse that had fallen to the ground and sighed slightly.

"I dare to fight you, but you can't."
