Chapter 166 On both sides of the Yellow River, hunger is everywhere 【Please subscribe · Ask for a monthly ticket】

Chi Li gathered all the village masters together the next day.

Qi Lin and Li Xingyun only bid farewell to Chi Meng privately, and then left Miao Village directly.

Go north through Shuzhong, cross the plank road, come to Chencang, and enter Hanzhong.

Afterwards, they passed Chang'an and headed east all the way, intending to go straight to Luoyang, but finally temporarily stopped in front of Fengling Ferry.

It was night, the autumn wind was rustling, and the cold wind came out from both sides of the Yellow River.

After years of fighting, the population of the Central Plains has dropped sharply, and Fengling Ferry, the largest ferry on the Yellow River, has also become desolate.

Qi Lin and the others walked around the ferry several times during the day, but they couldn't find even a single inn, even the village, and they were all killed by the army fighting for the ferry.

In the end, Qi Lin and the others had no choice but to take refuge in the desolate Nuwa Temple temporarily, and let's talk about it after tonight.

"The wind is really cold!" Qi Lin poked the fire a few times with a wooden stick to make the fire burn hotter.

From Miaojiang back to Luoyang, they rushed all the way, and they still walked for a month. Now that the midsummer has passed and autumn is here, there are not many people harvesting grain in the Central Plains. Instead, they saw many burned villages. few.

For some moments, they looked at the corpses hanging from the trees, and even had the absurd illusion that there were more corpses than food.

Qi Lin didn't stop fiddling with the fire, hoping to make the flames more intense. At the same time, he raised his head and asked Li Xingyun, "How many bad people responded to your order?"

Along the way, Qi Lin made Li Xingyun fall into the mark of bad people, and called on bad people from all over the place to gather in Luoyang with his orders.

To do big things, you can't do without people. Qi Lin and the others can easily be restrained by Li Siyuan.

And bad people are much better than those landowners and village owners in Miaojiang. If they can be included in their pockets, the next thing to do will be much easier.

Li Xingyun was educated by Qi Lin for a long time, and Yuan Tiangang's influence on him disappeared a lot, but when he mentioned bad people, he was silent for a while, and then said:
"A lot of people responded, and many of Tiangang's 36 lieutenants expressed their willingness to pledge their allegiance to me. But I guess except for Shangguan and the others, the others should just obey Yuan Tiangang's wishes.

If we want these arrogant soldiers to obey our orders and act according to our plan, we will inevitably have to fight. "

Qi Lin didn't mind this, he said with a smile: "I'm new here, you're just a nameless person, if you want others to trust us, you have to speak with your actions."

Li Xingyun nodded. He had already started thinking about how to deal with those strange and bad people.

Qi Lin looked at the leaking temple walls all around, and still said: "Luoyang City is Li Siyuan's territory, we are not in a hurry to go in. Fenglingdu is a good place, so we will station here first. You give orders to bad people, let them They come here to gather."

Li Xingyun smiled and said: "Brother Qi, you are trying to show power to Li Siyuan!"

"I am indeed Li Wei, but not for Li Siyuan to see. As long as we enter the Central Plains, we can't hide it from him."

Qi Lin stopped fiddling with the fire, and said to Li Xingyun: "I am Liwei to show to the people on both sides of the Yellow River, to let them know that Li Siyuan is not the only choice. On the banks of the Yellow River, there are still people who are willing and able to give them more. good life."

Li Xingyun nodded, knowing that this was the first step for him to truly start fighting for world hegemony.

If this step is taken, the situation will be opened. If it fails, they can only lie on the ground and wait to die.

Thinking of this, he felt as if a huge boulder weighed on his heart, and he was speechless for a moment.

"I will always be with you!" Ji Ruxue seemed to sense Li Xingyun's pressure, and stuck to his back to give him support.

"alright!"

Qi Lin couldn't stand it any longer, waved his hands in disgust and said: "I, a widowed old man, can't see you young people showing affection here, stay away from me."

His pretended disgust made everyone laugh out loud, and the atmosphere in the ruined temple became much lighter in an instant.

Everyone took out dry food and water from their packages, ate around the fire, fell to the ground, and fell asleep with their clothes on.

As the eldest brother, Qi Lin was the first on duty at night, watching the fire to keep him from going out.

The ruined temple fell silent in an instant, only the sound of crackling flames remained, and the light shone on Qi Lin's shadow, covering most of the temple wall.

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from outside the temple, and it spread far away with the autumn wind in the empty night.

Qi Lin listened attentively for a while, and from the chaotic sound of horseshoes, he heard that the other party had at least 20 horses, and they were coming towards the ruined temple with the sound of killing.

The order of the dynasty collapsed, and the countryside could only rely on landlords and clans for self-government. Naturally, bandits were rampant.

Along the way, Qi Lin often encountered bandits robbing the road, but those bandits were farmers who went up the mountain because they couldn't survive. They didn't even have an iron knife in their hands, so they could only use wooden sticks to scare people.

Those who can take out more than 20 horses at one go are either wealthy landlords or regular troops. Ordinary bandits cannot afford horses, which consume a lot of livestock.

The person who was hunted down may not have a low status!

Qi Lin flicked his fingers, woke up Li Xingyun, told him what happened outside, asked him to continue the night watch, and then left the ruined temple and rushed towards the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

The night was dark, Qi Lin sent true energy into his eyes, and his eyes glowed fluorescently, so he could see at night.

After running almost two miles with his Qinggong, he saw a group of well-armored soldiers chasing a carriage.

Those soldiers were wearing swords and armor, holding bows and arrows, and their horses were flying like flying. A sharp arrow flew out, and quickly shot the groom who was driving to death.

"Herod!"

The out-of-control horse slammed into a tree by the side of the road, the carriage rolled over instantly, and a woman wearing a red and white cloak flew out of it.

"Catch him, he will be promoted to three ranks, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

With a real reward, the soldiers screamed, brandishing steel knives and rushing towards the woman who ran away from the soldiers with her legs.

But how can human legs compare to horse legs, and the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

Qi Lin couldn't help complaining in his heart that these soldiers chasing people didn't know the name of each other clearly, so he had to bear this risk.

Complaints are nothing but complaints, he would not see such a girl without any martial arts falling into the hands of wolf-like soldiers.

If that woman is a bad person, just kill her again.

It's nothing more than a matter of changing hands in the middle, and it's not too troublesome.

Clang!

The Changhong sword was unsheathed, and the sword light instantly illuminated the surrounding darkness, attracting everyone's attention.

The pursuer looked away, and the fugitive stopped his steps.

Qi Lin landed lightly in front of the woman, with a flick of his wrist, the Changhong Sword turned into nine red streaks, tearing open the night, killing the throats of the oncoming horses, as well as the armor and hearts of the soldiers on their backs.

The sword light was fleeting, and the leader of the pursuing soldiers couldn't see what was happening ahead, but he could smell the bloody smell in the air.

Master!

"Stop!"

The soldiers stopped when they heard the order.

"May I ask who you are, who wants to disturb our mission?"

Qi Lin blocked the woman, his sword energy burst out, cut off the helmets of all the soldiers, and then said: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that if you don't leave, you will die here."

　Ask for support!
