Chapter 723: The Li Family in Water City
The strong have always used their strength to force the weak to obey, and the weak to submit, and then in exchange for the strong to become more violent.
Song Gengzheng really couldn't figure out how Yuan Qingxiu dared to speak out and attack him without faith, could it be because the Salvation Army was in chaos at the moment and decided that the Song family would not fight back? However, the situation was urgent and did not allow him to think too much, so he immediately ordered loudly: Retreat!
"Boom!"
The voice fell, and an explosion sounded in the courtyard. It seems that Yuan Qingxiu or Gao Jie is very well prepared, and even uses gunpowder.
"Miyang, protect my Aunt Song!"
"No, you take care of Su'er!"
Si Quan's internal strength was restored to half of the floor, and he could only protect Li Su alone, and he wanted to ask Yu Yang to help, Song Wan's voice sounded in his ears. He almost forgot that Song Wan was also a first-class master!
For the best strategy, the power is used to perfection, and he is even more talented, and when the gunpowder falls in the sky, he is also comfortable with one person. Li Suwei didn't perceive any crisis in the man's arms, only heard the constant roar in his ears, the sea of fire rising in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the scene he saw changed greatly, and he had already left the courtyard several miles away.
"Brother Si Quan, it's no longer safe in the city, let's go out and wait for my mother!"
"You're so calm!"
Looking back at the courtyard with a sea of fire, Si Quan couldn't help but worry, but thinking that Song Wan's mother's combat strength still surpassed that of him in his current state, it was no problem to escape from danger.
Si Quan and the two dressed up in disguise and went straight to the southwest gate. Civil Engineering City has been under martial law since last night, and it is not allowed to enter or leave. So, they had to climb over the wall.
Secret entry and exit practices exist in all cities, and some people even make a living by crossing people in and out, but most of these methods are by drilling holes. Si Quan wouldn't care if he was alone, but he was reluctant to suffer this kind of grievance anyway. Coming to the sparsely populated section of the southwest city wall, the city wall several feet high is majestic and cannot be offended. Si Quan did not make any mistakes, cut down a pile of wooden stakes, and inserted them one by one.
"Okay, let's go!"
Si Quan's actions quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, and he hurried out of the city before the city guards found out.
............
The sun shifts, and the glow slants west!
Hidden Wind City, which claims to be unaffected by the Salvation Army's troubles, is also shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere.
This oppressive atmosphere comes from changes at the top. It seems that inexplicably, one-third of the hall masters were removed, and three of the seven counties were also replaced. This is not all, hundreds of Chishui Sect members, staff, and city residents were imprisoned without warning, and there were all kinds of crimes, how could they not make people
Worried?
These changes are out of his hands, and he can't even distinguish between the people of the Chishui Sect, the staff, and the people of the city. And the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became: first, with the expansion of Chishui's territory, he thought that everyone in Chishui naturally belonged to the disciples, and then Ling Hu Linglong explained to him. Everyone in Chishui has the status of a city citizen, and they can join the Chishui Sect, or they can pass the assessment to become a clerk. Then he found that the people who belonged to the sect were the people of the Chishui Sect in his opinion, the eldest of these people was Shangguan Qinghan, the staff who belonged to the General Affairs Yuan, the main boss was Situ Ying, and the rest of the ordinary people were city citizens. As a result, there were gatekeepers among the city's citizens, doormen among the staff, and most of the more than 20 cousins belonging to the Prime Minister's House were also doormen. So, he messed up!
In the final analysis, it is Si Quan himself who does not learn and has no skills, because this system was created by Ling Hu Linglong, and Shangguan Qinghan felt that it was feasible before he started to implement it, and there was no reason why Si Quan still did not understand.
There are still many people who know the inside story of the storm in Hidden Wind City, such as Yin Mi. She is also very proud of her great contribution to helping the government quietly solve the Salvation Army rebellion that all forces in the rivers and lakes are anxious about. also planned to wait for Shangguan Qinghan to ask her to receive the reward, but Dayi refused and quietly revealed the relationship with Si Quan.
However, these things can only be turned a deaf ear. What's more, he is thousands of miles away, and he can't intervene if he wants to.
Si Quan and the two of them asked for the carriage back from the city gate beast shelter, waited for Song Wanyang, broke up with the Song family, and finally came to Shuicheng on the road for thousands of miles. The first time he came to the door as an uncle, Si Quan felt strange, why was he not excited at all?
As the ancestral residence of the Li family, the historical heritage of Shuicheng is also remarkable. The earliest records date back to the Age of All Souls.
The city of water is as its name suggests. Thousands of rivers in the city, thousands of mountains outside the city. The water is not deep, shuttling vertically and horizontally, typical white walls and gray tiles, and people on the water. The mountains are not high, scattered and distributed, the green four seasons remain unchanged, and the peaks and forests are slow!
However, before the Age of All Souls, the Water City was a desert.
The water city in the era of all souls is not called the water city, but is called the desert cave. The yellow sand is long and the wind does not stop, and the dust whistles and covers the clouds. Boundless, deep and soul-loving, no living person has ever broken through, it is completely a forbidden place for the living. It is said that it was formed by the fall of the drought demon in the era of gods and demons.
Hundreds of miles away from the desert cave is the kingdom where the human emperor was located at that time, and it is also the heavenly domain today. Suffering from the sun and moon of the yellow sand in the desert cave, the entire kingdom can accumulate several feet of yellow sand every year, and it will be like this in the long run
All submerged. Therefore, the emperor sent his subordinates to control the desert. After 30 years of desertification control, carp first carried water to sow seeds, and then directly planted adult plants, consuming a lot of manpower and financial resources, but with little effect. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was accused of dereliction of duty and beheaded carp on the beach of the Jinsha River, and then assigned his eldest son carp to continue to control the sand.
In order to avoid repeating what happened to his father, to atone for his father's sins, and to repay the ardent expectations of the people, carp is very careful to control sand. First of all, we changed the carp pattern, while driving piles and laying stones, suppressing the source of wind and sand, and at the same time opening a canal to divert water to eradicate the formation of wind and sand. Every two years, he returns to China to report his work, and he does not enter the house seven times. His wife, Qingqiu, complained, and finally brought her seven-year-old son to look for her. Arriving at the desert cave, the Qingqiu clan saw from a distance that the carp was struggling with the sky and soil. Due to the long years of fatigue and dust, the body has condensed thick soil, and no one doubts that this is a group of people from the Earth Spirit Clan. Qingqiu's heart was so painful, resentful that God had tortured his husband to be unhuman, and immediately wept in grief, and the tears flowed endlessly, like a rushing river. By the time she stopped, it was already three months later, and she was drowning in tears. Water City, from here!
The stars change, and time passes. Today's water city is beautiful and gentle, like a dignified and elegant daughter of the land of Kyushu. It's not the first time Si Quan has come, and compared to the last time, everything doesn't seem to have changed much, but inevitably, a depressing atmosphere pervades.
Knowing that Li Su and Si Quan secretly married and returned, a large group of women and children were already waiting in the courtyard of Li Qingcang's family, and there were also young people of the Li family who knew Si Quan, waiting to see how the patriarch would deal with this buddy who stole the pearl in his hand!
The attitude of the Li family Si Quan had already predicted it, and he was also ready to deal with it, but of course this was far from enough. Fortunately, there is Li Su by his side. Entering the door at noon until late at night, Si Quan didn't have to stop for a moment, there were too many people in the Li family, the seven aunts and eight aunts were chattering endlessly, and everyone in the cousin clan asked questions, but Li Su's half-brothers and sisters had four people, and they were all born to Su Guqi, the eldest son Li Han was already weak, and the younger sister Li Qi was only nine years old.
"Whew! It's good that Uncle Li helped me, otherwise I would have to give an account of my life!"
Finally escaped back to the room, and the drunken Si Quan fell headlong into the soft collapse, and sighed with palpitations, even though his skills were as profound as he felt physically and mentally tired!
Li Su was funny, changed his clothes and lay down, and lifted the man's head on his lap to massage: "Brother Si Quan has a reason to sleep lazily tomorrow morning!"
"Not really!"
I was a little excited to think of this, but unfortunately, things are not always as people want!
