As for the attitude of the royal family towards other races, Li Qi really never figured it out.

Judging from the rules set by the royal family, as well as their attitudes, it seems that the royal family does not care about the development of other races, but hopes that other races will be stronger.

But judging by Richie's own experience, rulers usually say one thing and do another, on the surface they are hypocritical, and they speak better than they sing, but if you really do this, that's a different attitude.

Therefore, without figuring out the details of the royal family, Li Qi really didn't dare to mess around.

He even separated the development of firearms from the development of gunpowder.

For the current Huaxia Alliance, it is still the safest to take the food route, which is a supplement for the royal family and will not harm the fundamental interests of the royal family.

But he is still preparing in secret, began to develop large-scale stamping machines, by the way, let Agu study a little, how to produce some parts of the gun, this is a very detailed information, with the current process, what rifled guns and cannons are produced, it is no longer a problem, just to see when to take it out, people Agu are studying steam cars, and Li Qi contacted Colliers's team to start building large-scale factories in the six counties southeast of Washington.

Li Qi's construction idea is that all light industry is placed west of Washington, because this is the economic route, but heavy industry is placed east of Washington, because the east is said to be a desolate place, and there are no other races there, so it is more convenient to hide.

Of course, in addition to the factory, Litch began his line, a large plan, and began to build a number of inns on the trade routes.

At the same time, this also increases the overhead, and Li Qi has been buying a lot of black iron all the time, so making money is still a priority.

Now the cow hump is ready, just waiting for the production to catch up.

Therefore, Li Qi is training a large number of cooks, but this should be said to be training, not apprentices, because Li Qi divides these people into many groups, and each group only learns one cooking skill, for example, those who make sausages specialize in sausages, and those who make cakes specialize in cakes, so as to avoid the leakage of skills.

In addition, he also had to worry about training the supreme commander of the Huaxia Alliance.

It's really a father and a mother again.

on the playground.

"Take it."

Li Qi handed a small notebook to Chi.

Chi took the notebook and said, "What is this?" ”

Li Qi said: "Don't you want to become stronger? ”

Chi was stunned, then nodded.

Li Qi said casually: "In my hometown, there have been many, many wars, so the generals in my hometown have summed up their war experience and written it into a book of the art of war, I have written it all down, if you can integrate the art of war on it, you will be invincible." ”

Chi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he looked at the little book excitedly.

In fact, it is written above that is Sun Tzu's Art of War, when Li Qi was in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to fool the group of generals who can fight well, he forced himself to memorize all of them, at least to make him look not so layman.

At this time, he felt that Chi really needed to learn this, because there were also a lot of diplomatic strategies written on it, as the supreme commander of the Huaxia Alliance, he could not only fight, but at least understand some basic common sense of diplomacy.

At this moment, a soldier came over and said, "Great Chief, I have come back and said that I have something to report to you." ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "Could it be that something happened?" ”

Chi said thoughtfully: "There shouldn't be, after counting the time, you should come back to rest in turn." ”

"Yes." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the small notebook again, and said, "If you don't understand something, you can come and ask me." ”

Chi nodded.

Sure enough, as Chi said, Yu only came back to take a turn, but the leader of Bi Fang asked him to tell Li Qi that there were two Bi Fang in Zhangguo Mountain who were about to die.

At the time of the report, he was confused.

He didn't know what the meaning of this news was, if he died, he would die, so should he let our big chief go and mourn in person.

"yes, I almost forgot about it." Li Qi suddenly remembered, nodded and said, "I should also go over there to have a look, you help me prepare, and in two days, I will go to Zhangguo Mountain." ”

Chi asked, "Do you want to arrange someone to protect the Great Chief?" ”

It stands to reason that when the big chief goes out, protection is a matter of course, but Li Qi rarely asks for protection, and the Huaxia Alliance has no habit of protecting the big chief.

Li Qi blinked, and suddenly remembered someone...., no, it was a demon who thought of him, and said in his heart, yes! What's going on with Hanying, after so many days of retreat, not to mention the Nine Yin True Scripture, even "Jin Yong's Hundred Martial Arts" should have been learned, it won't be an accident, right? Or was it because I disturbed her last time and made her go crazy?

He went to the cow hump for so long, and came back for a while, but he didn't see any trace of the cold shadow, and the farmers and barbarians who had been staying here had never seen the cold shadow.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do at the moment, so Richie took the Vulture again and went to the cliff behind Blackstone Valley.

When he came to the cliff, Li Qi was dumbfounded again, the ice had already condensed to the bottom of the cliff, and almost the entire cliff had been frozen, like an iceberg.

"Cold Shadow! Chill Shadow! ”

Standing on the ice, Li Qi first whispered a few words, but seeing that there was no movement, he shouted loudly: "Cold Shadow ......." ”

Suddenly, there was a thud.

"Holy!"

Li Qi was so frightened that he sat on the ground and slid directly back a few meters away, but his ass was not slippery.

I saw a black shadow fall in front of Li Qi, it was the cold shadow.

And behind her there was an extra hole in the ice.

Li Qi looked at the cold shadow blankly, only to feel that the cold shadow has become much more beautiful, the skin has become smoother and more delicate, and the pair of long legs is simply the ultimate sexual feeling, which can be played for five hundred years, and the most important thing is that the pair of colored pupils seem to be flashing with light.

"What's the matter?"

But Hanying's tone hadn't changed at all, no, it should have been more cold than before.

Li Qi was furious when he asked this question, stood up, and said angrily: "What's the matter? Do you know how long you've been in there? ”

Cold Shadow asked, "How long?" ”

"It's a whole Jiazi. I'm not going to come to you again, and you say I don't care about you anymore. "Li Qi is dancing with his hands and voices.

Han Ying was slightly stunned and said, "A Jiazi? ”

Wow! You believe it. Li Qi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Otherwise? Look at me, I'm old. ”

Hanying looked at Li Qi and said to himself, "I can't imagine that so much time has passed. ”

Am I really old? Li Qi's heart sank, touched his face, looked at the ice again, and said in his heart, there is no old age! Still so handsome. Pity... It's a pity that I don't have the kung fu to pick up girls now, I'm really blind to this earth-shattering, weeping ghost and god's appearance.

Hanying looked at Li Qi again and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long. ”

The posture of the appearance is so booming, it seems that she has really practiced the Nine Yin True Scripture, I can't let her leave me, otherwise, it will be a big loss. Li Qi sighed and said, "Actually, I don't blame you, I'm just very worried about you, at least you have to tell me that you are safe, then I will rest assured." ”

Han Ying may face a hundred Li Qi, and he can easily be defeated, but in terms of scheming, a hundred Han Ying is not Li Qi's opponent, and he was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and there was a trace of guilt in his eyes.

"But I'm relieved to see that you're okay." As he spoke, Li Qi seemed to think of something again, and said, "That's right! How do you get to the bottom of the lake? And....... He swept his gaze, "What's going on?" ”

He had too much curiosity about it.

Hanying looked back at the ice cave and asked, "Don't you really know who lived here before?" ”

Li Qi was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

The acting is really first-class.

Hanying said, "I'm sure now that there must have been a very, very powerful creature living here before. ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "How are you sure?" ”

Han Ying said, "Because there is a cave at the bottom of the lake, and the cave still retains the breath of that creature, so I can breathe at the bottom of the lake. ”

"Breath?"

Li Qi was confused when he heard it, the old turtle had been gone for a long time, not to mention the breath, even if it was a piece of shit, it should have been washed by the lake water, take a step back and say, just say that there is really some residual breath, which has something to do with your breathing, shook his head and said: "I don't quite understand what you mean, can the breath still be preserved?" ”

Hanying was silent for a moment, and said, "Generally speaking, it is impossible, unless it is a very powerful creature, so that its breath is filled with aura, so it can last for a long time. ”

Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Is it more powerful than the Perfect Demon Clan and the Spirit Clan?" ”

"It's not the same thing." Cold Shadow shook his head.

That look is like saying that it's not a dimension.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "This... So powerful? That's not right! If there are such powerful beings, then what is the matter with the perfect race? ”

Han Ying said thoughtfully: "Actually, when I stayed at the bottom of the lake, I was also thinking about this question, maybe... Maybe that legend is true, or not. ”

Richie asked, "What legend?" ”

Han Ying said: "Legend has it that there have always been four ancient beings living on this continent, and they are immortal and immortal ....... ”

Li Qi suddenly "poofed" and laughed.

Hanying was surprised, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"No... I didn't laugh, but my throat was a little uncomfortable. Li Qi touched his throat, this "ancient" really amused him, he really couldn't think of anything more ancient than this era, could it be the era when Pangu opened the world. But when I thought of the old turtle again, I couldn't help but believe a little more, I could let him pass through, this ability was simply against the sky, and asked, "What are these four creatures?" Oh no, I mean what are they all like? ”

Hanying shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just a legend that has been handed down, and no one has ever seen it." Actually, I'm just guessing, because I don't know how to explain it. As she spoke, she looked around, her eyes full of confusion.

Li Qi said: "You mean, the ice here is all because of those residual breaths?" ”

Han Ying said, "No, the freezing here is all caused by my cultivation of Cold Ice True Qi. ”

Li Qi's pupils gradually dilated when he heard it, and said in a trembling voice: "Cold... Cold... Ice... It's infuriating! ”
