I am a fairy in the world of mortals

Chapter 196 White-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river Nagisa

"The noise is getting louder and louder!" Li Lang said from the attic, looking at the noisy crowd on the street.

"It's because the situation in the Western Region is not optimistic! I heard that Cheng Xu, who defected to Heihan, found a relatively stable road across the Juheng Mountains, led a group of five thousand elite cavalry, and plundered the Western Region Three cities, more than a dozen treasure mountains were swept away, a lot of wealth was taken away, and many people were killed." Tianshan Yue said with a complicated tone.

Before this sudden attack and robbery, Tianshan Yue...or not just Tianshan Yue, many people suspected that Cheng Xu was actually acting in disguise by beheading Qin Shouye and leading people to the Heihan tribe. Put pressure on the court to release Shen Xinghai.

Because this is something that can be seen through at a glance. Qin Shouye is not a mediocre person, and Baiyuguan, the most majestic pass in the world, is by no means a kind place where he can come and go as he pleases.

Only if it is a 'drama' will everything seem reasonable.

But now it seems that this possibility seems to be very low.

Not only did the officials and soldiers under Shen Xinghai's rule love the people like their own children, they were also very disciplined and seldom harassed local people or exploited businesses.

This is one of the reasons why Shen Xinghai has such a good reputation.

Since Cheng Xu led people to bypass Baiyuguan and enter the pass to plunder, it was equivalent to ruining all his future in Daqian. He put his 'future' in the Heihan tribe and was determined to defect to it.

After all, who can tell clearly how many dignitaries in Yujing City have arranged for their lackeys to go to the Western Regions to do business and earn a lot of money for spending money?

"It's sad! What a shame!" Li Lang shook his head, suddenly feeling that the world was not worth it.

Of course, the envoys who heard the news took a carriage when they left the city.

Li Lang glanced stubbornly at the city gate again. The news that he would travel to the Western Regions had been sent out a day and a half ago.

Time has passed, and Li Lang has actually come to realize that the person who plotted against him, destroyed the Liji Gang, and burned down the Tianxin Xiangen Tower was probably Cheng Xu.

Li Lang will not comment on Cheng Xu for the time being.

It's really cold and heartless.

Li Lang had even prepared words and poems.

It is best not to let too many people know their identity and specific appearance.

Fortunately, he wanted to reenact the famous scene of seeing Qian Ji off at the dock in the past, and with the number and quality of Bai Yujing's practitioners, it might be even more powerful and moving.

Shen Xinghai was able to be released from prison so quickly and smoothly precisely because the stability of the Western Region was greatly affected.

"I originally wanted my heart to illuminate the moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch."

It can't be cleaned no matter how much I wash it.

Sure enough, the girls from Yangzhou Prefecture are more nostalgic.

Just like Li Lang said, Shen Xinghai quickly left the prison.

Li Lang blocked the city gate and didn't leave for a long time.

It’s just hard to say how many people believe this statement.

After leaving the Tianlao, Shen Xinghai entered the palace that day. After talking with the emperor for half a day, early the next morning, he led the generals who were still in the capital and prepared to return to Baiyuguan to take charge.

Although this method minimizes the error in calculation.

It's not that they are not suitable for public appearances, but that their identities require them to be more confidential.

Li Lang believed that when Shen Xinghai received the news, his first reaction was to capture Cheng Xu, or even do it himself.

But there is a relatively safe road through the Juheng Mountains. These people from the Heihan tribe can also come and go like the wind into the pass to plunder, which has greatly affected the stability and prosperity of the Western Region.

However, the girls on Lantern Street were all like bastards eating weights, determined not to see her off.

With a few tricks, Cheng Xu was able to make Li Lang appear to owe a favor, avenge Lao Wang and his daughter, and at the same time teach King Lincheng a lesson, ruining King Lincheng's self-righteous good deeds. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone.

No one likes to be fooled.

The white BMW with a trace of Pegasus blood snorted rudely, and then stamped its hoof in boredom.

This requires Shen Xinghai to make up his mind quickly and stabilize the situation.

After a hundred years, a lie becomes the truth.

His layout is not to take advantage of the situation, but to directly push the necessary people to the necessary positions, and then have to act according to his design.

As for the 'Heng Di' who was killed by him, that is of course false.

How many disciples of those Jianghu sects in the opposition will travel to the Western Regions to look for 'opportunities'?
······
At the gate of Baiyujing's west city, Li Lang rode a tall horse and mixed in with the team heading west to Baiyuguan.

"Your grandpa will come out soon. When we get to Baiyuguan, everything will be clear." Li Lang said.

Qin Shouye may have offered his head voluntarily, but those people who were robbed and killed did not.

They were treacherous ministers and traitors pretending to be traitors. Wasn't the real Emperor Heng already dead during the Eight Kings Rebellion?
The arguments and reasons are all ready-made.

But neither those who suffer from it nor those who benefit from it will have a good impression of him.

However, I was prepared to be lonely.

In addition to Shen Xinghai and the soldiers under his command, he was accompanied by Xue Qing, Xuemang and a small team of messengers. Tianshan Yue was also among this team of messengers.

Of course, what is important is always the explanation and the records in history books.

"Let's go! Don't wait!" Looking at the cavalry team that had already walked away, Xue Qing beside Li Lang shook his head and said.

This is a person who doesn't care about the means to some extent, but only cares about the results.

Without breaking through the Baiyuguan, it would be completely impossible for the Heihan tribe and the tribal alliance under its command to press the army into the pass.

Xue Qing was very happy. He didn't have to watch Li Lang pretending to be in front of him. Instead, he felt deflated. He felt that his energy was flowing more smoothly.

"Go and rest! Go and rest!" Li Lang whipped his horse and rushed towards the retreating team.

From here to Baiyuguan, the straight-line distance is at least hundreds of thousands of miles. If we take a detour, it will be hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Even if you ride a BMW and go fast, it will take you at least a month.

This is still under the premise of never sleeping.

Therefore, the direction Li Lang and others rode towards was Tianliudu.

When they arrived at Tianliudu, they took a boat with a thousand people and went down the river. They took the boat for five days to Binzhou and then rode on horseback, which saved a lot of time.

In the carriage that was traveling far away, Tian Shanyue looked at Li Lang who had already caught up with him on horseback with a smile on his lips, and his mood became more and more comfortable.

She would not tell Li Lang that the envoy received a secret report a day ago that some 'remnants' were hiding in Caiden Street. All people on Caiden Street needed to cooperate with the investigation.

Of course, we are just cooperating with the investigation.

With the release of Shen Xinghai from prison, the seriousness of the pursuit of Emperor Heng's remnants has also dropped by two or three levels.

The wind that has been blowing in Yujing City for a month is finally going to stop.

The game and battle between multiple forces will temporarily come to an end, turning from bright to dark.

Even if there is still an investigation, it will only focus on hearing the news and cooperating with the cleanup. Unless it is confirmed that it is the remnants of Emperor Heng, there will be no expansion or spread, let alone any severity or severity.

······
In the imperial palace, inside the Wuji Hall.

Queen Yu Ruyi only rested for less than an hour.

This hour was actually spent meditating and practicing Qi.

She knew very well that this was far from enough for rest or practice.

But she has too many things to worry about, and she must prepare and prepare in advance for various natural and man-made disasters that may occur in the next few years. The slightest disturbance is enough to make her worry and think for a long time.

She has to be cautious, because if things don't go her way, God may help her, but if things go wrong, people's hearts will be in chaos.

The palace of Qian Chu was still trampled under her feet!

Huangfu Qian had a good rest, and then appeared with the memorial that had been sorted out, and read out the various strategies summarized by the courtiers one by one, so that Yu Ruyi could know.

"Okay, I know all this."

"Let's talk about other things first." The queen waved her hand and kneaded her eyebrows. To be able to survive the disaster a hundred years ago smoothly actually consumed the savings of the Qianyuan and Heng generations.

The current accumulation can only last a hundred years. If the various disasters last for more than five years, this account will not be settled at all.

Unless they can suddenly get rich before a large-scale disaster strikes, making Daqian's treasury extremely full.

The Queen knew this very well, and now she wanted to hear some good news to change her mood.

"General Shen has rushed to Tianliudu. Your Majesty...do you want to arrange for support?" Huangfu Qian did not follow the Queen's wish and talked about a lighter topic, but turned to another more serious topic.

"Tianliudu?" The queen tapped the table with her slender white fingers and sighed.

How could she not know that Buddhism and Taoism use the affairs of the country to play games?

It's just that there are some things that she, the emperor, can control, and there are some things that she, the emperor, cannot control.

The monks from Bailong Temple set up a formation at Tianliudu to prevent Shen Xinghai from returning to Baiyuguan. She had received news about this before and informed Shen Xinghai.

It's just that Dagan lacks high-end combat power, and Hengdi has exhausted Dagan's foundation. Now when encountering this kind of thing, there isn't much she can do.

Sitting in the palace and posing as a remote control of Yujing's killer weapon, she gave Shen Xinghai the greatest help and confidence.

"There are five roads heading west, all of which are blocked. Tianliu Crossing is the most dangerous, but as long as you cross it, you can rush to Baiyuguan the fastest."

"Since he has chosen this path, we can only believe him." The Queen said.

Huangfu Qian said: "It's not that I don't believe in the general, but that the general also brought the three monks Xuelang with him."

"They didn't stay in the capital?" the queen asked in surprise.

These days, she has too many things to do, so she has put Li Lang and the others in the corner.

As for the Thirteen Snow Monks who made great contributions in that battle, they were all seriously injured and are still recovering in the palace. In the future, the Queen will reorganize the team of the Nine Guards.

In fact, he and Li Lang and other monks were not exactly on the same page.

······
It was early September and the weather was starting to get cooler.

But there is still residual heat.

After leaving Yunshang Plain, the remaining power of the intense heat began to show.

Less than a day after the fast horse was hurried, the sound of rumbling water was heard in the distance.

Looking up, you can see a sky river pouring down from the mountains in the distance, and then rushing into the distance.

This is Tianhe!

It starts from the Yunshan Plain and is the source of the river formed by the melted water from the snow in the mountains.

However, unlike most rivers that flow from west to east, the Tianhe River is just the opposite, winding from east to west through the twelve states.

In an era when transportation was mostly not developed, a river was a civilization.

A big river can give birth to many dazzling stories.

The same is true for Tianhe.

In some folklore stories, the source of the Tianhe River is lived by the Snow Mountain Goddess. She was originally sacred in the sky, but because she pitied the people on earth, she quietly brought the dew to the earth, and was punished by the Emperor of Heaven and suppressed in the world. Among the snowy mountains.

The goddess looked at the stars day and night, recalling her hometown, and tears flowed from her eyes, gradually becoming this giant river that filled the twelve states.

On the side of Jitan, which is as huge as the Jiutian River pouring down, a huge dock was built at a bend in the slow water.

A large number of ships docked at the pier.

However, most of them are still in the ship harbor. There is only one huge warship that can accommodate a thousand people, standing on the river surface, subduing the waves.

The ship's bow is carved with an animal's head, equipped with sharp rams, and is wrapped in dark iron where there will be bumps. The tall mast has no sails, but it has the potential to support the sky.

"What a big ship! And it's basically a wooden structure."

"It must be made of spiritual wood as the main support. Otherwise, ordinary wood would not be able to withstand the construction of such a large warship without the hull breaking or having any other problems." Li Lang looked at the ship. The warship, for sure, was unique, not just in its size and structure.

If you want to travel from the source to the end in a short period of time, it is definitely not enough to just follow the current.

It should be that the hull of the ship is also blessed with certain magical powers that speed up navigation.

A lot of people got on the boat one after another.

As the anchors were pulled up with winches, the warships set sail and headed for the distance along the Tianhe River.

Suddenly, in the center of the Tianhe River, an 'island' suddenly emerged from the water.

It won't be long before the ship hits an island.

The experienced helmsman immediately adjusted the hull of the boat and tried to pass it from one side.

Even if it damages some insignificant hulls, it doesn't matter.

But the island will move, and it will turn in the direction of the ship's hull.

Look carefully, what kind of island is this?

It was clearly an extremely huge old turtle.

The back of the old turtle is covered with rocks, water plants, and moss. From a distance, it looks like a reef island that sometimes appears and sometimes disappears under the water.

There was someone else on the old turtle's back.

One is dressed as a fisherman and the other is dressed as a woodcutter.

They all have white hair, but their aura is very mysterious and unpredictable.

At this moment, looking at the warship that was about to collide, the two of them released a glow from their bodies at the same time.

Deification realm!
These are actually two old monsters in the deified realm!

"Get out!" A halberd flew out of the warship.

The sharp thunderbolt cuts through the long waves.

The old turtle, as big as an island, let out a mournful cry.

In an instant, the water ripples turned red, with a hint of golden light.

Shen Xinghai could be separated by hundreds of thousands of miles and attract the snow from Baiyuguan, whitening Baiyujing overnight.

Its methods and abilities are obviously inhuman.

If he hadn't been accompanied by Li Lang and other tow bottles, he might have been able to reach Baiyuguan in a day or two at most if he had returned to Baiyuguan alone.

The two old men, fishermen and woodcutter, faced Shen Xinghai's halberd that cut across the river and sea, and they took action at the same time.

Divine light rose from their bodies and then turned into a barrier, cutting off the river.

When such strong men clashed, it only took a moment for each of them to show their inhumanity.

They truly have the power to transform the landscape.

Li Lang was on the bow deck of the ship, watching this scene with the same excitement.

He also yearns for such great power.

"General! We are about to collide!" Several helmsmen driving the warship shouted at the same time.

Shen Xinghai was extremely calm and said calmly: "Don't panic! Run over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the halberd flew back and landed on the bow of the ship.

At the same time, the entire warship was covered with a thick bronze-colored light film.

It was obvious that Shen Xinghai had overlapped his own domain with the formation on the warship.
