The Qilin Army set out from the capital of Zhongzhou and followed the current to the eighteen states in the south of the Yangtze River. They followed the trend along the way, saving effort and should have been extremely fast. However, due to fighting everywhere and the actions of Li Guanyi's troops,

be publicized.

Along the way, there were people coming to surrender. Regardless of whether the ships prepared before could accommodate these people, the constant stream of people coming to surrender greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Qilin Army.

When Li Guanyi left the academy, most of the disciples of the Mohist lineage initially followed him. They could use local materials to build new simple mechanical ships, and they could also spend money to buy large and small ships.

This resulted in the number of people already swelling greatly when they left the land of Zhongzhou. On the waterway, the giant machine ship of the Mohist family opened the way in front, with the Qilin Army flag erected on the deck.

Behind them are the Mohist machine ships, then ordinary merchant ships, and even fishing boats, deck boats, and people on board.

This encounters another problem, that is, different ships travel at different speeds. Machine ships are driven by machines, but merchant ships need wind power. As for the common people's single-plank fishing boats, they rely on human power to hold them together.

But when Li Guanyi had a headache, a sound of laughter suddenly came from above the river. The laughter was desolate and majestic, as if connected with the heaven and the earth, with an indescribable heroic spirit:

"The water in Canglang is so clear that I can wash my tassel on it."

"The water in Canglang is turbid, you can wash my feet."

The fisherman on the fishing boat put down the fishing rod in his hand, took off his bamboo hat, and stood up where the water and the sky met. He was a man with extremely broad shoulders and white hair on the temples.

Arose, arose a wave.

The big man jumped into the air, raised his hand and made a move, and the dragon's dharma image appeared, chanting endlessly.

The blue transparent dragon circled and dispersed the strong wind. The entire river was choppy, but the many ships were stable. The slightly older man just stepped on the water and came with extraordinary courage.

The people all thought they had seen the Water Dragon King, and many people who relied on the water for fishing turned pale.

Then they saw the Qilin Army general wearing Taoist robes walking out.

The old man came over and pushed the golden mountain over the jade pillar, but he was only half-kneeling on the ground.

The dragon behind him lowered his head and said solemnly:

"Kou Yulie, meet my lord!"

"At the end of the day, under the orders of Mr. Yan Daiqing and Mr. Yuan Zhi, I will lead our navy men to come and join forces!"

Everyone who saw this scene was speechless. The young man who ate with them and acted plainly and plainly had an indescribable courage at this moment. Kou Yulie came early and led Qilin.

The military and navy captains are here.

"Mr. Yuan Zhi guessed that my lord encountered such difficulties."

"But I also know that the lord will not abandon these people, so he sent us here. He said that although different ships have different speeds, if the main ship is the core, then the ships in different areas will have captains, and the large and small ships will be connected by ropes.

, connected by iron chains.”

"It is pulled by iron chains on the outside, and connected by the energy of the military formation on the inside."

"Then you can retreat as one."

"That's exactly why we're here."

After the Furious Scale Dragon King Kou Yulie joined, the speed of the fleet was finally maintained at a standard posture, but it still failed to reach the theoretical limit of water transportation speed——

Because ordinary people kept coming after hearing the news.

The family was furious and planned to use force to force the people to stay. At this time, the Great Emperor of Zhongzhou personally issued an order: "What the people do is natural, and they are for the people of the world, not your people."

"Li Guanyi is my supreme general, so don't stop me."

Due to the previous autumn hunting, the heads of the branches of the royal family were shot dead by the powerful officials with magic weapons. The clan was in panic. There was Ji Yanzhong, a generous elder with the master level in Zhongzhou. In the past few days, Ji Zichang worked hard to reform the clan and take back the family.

right.

The order came down immediately, and because the powerful minister Qin Wuhou was too majestic and cruel, as soon as the soldiers of the Qilin Army heard that there was someone here who wanted to surrender, they would come in large numbers. A few days ago, the Zhao family just didn't believe in evil.

.

On that day, the people were held captive and not allowed to leave.

When he saw the Qilin Army soldiers coming, he became angry. The eldest son drew his bow and shot those untouchables to death, and then led the crowd to kill the two Qilin Army soldiers, so as to prove that they were dead without evidence.

Those two soldiers are both at the second level of heaven cultivation.

Ordinary armies only need entry level to be a corps commander, but in this heavily armored cavalry, the second level genius has the ability to fight alone, but even though they are two armored second level heavenly warriors, their family background is enough, and they were seriously injured.

, but after all, he was a warrior who had experienced many fierce battles. He wore heavy armor and escaped on a dragon horse.

On the second day, five hundred cavalry and heavy armor arrived.

Led by Ling Pingyang, who was one of the most powerful cavalry generals in the world, he destroyed this family. The eldest son was shot and killed. No one dared to stop him after that. However, Li Guanyi's reputation as a powerful official and domineering person grew bigger and bigger.

It is also spreading more and more widely.

When they passed the waterway pass in Zhongzhou, many aristocratic families, nobles, generals, and even some people with good family backgrounds gathered at the pass, whispering to each other, but looking at Li Guanyi and others.

The sound of the water flow was as loud as thunder, and the whispering voices couldn't help but quiet down. Everyone looked at it from a distance, and they were all shocked, but they saw in the waterway was a huge Mohist machine ship, with an extremely deep draft, even if it couldn't compare

It is a Siling-class treasure ship, but it is also a main battle-class machine ship.

Behind this big ship, there are countless ships connected by iron chains. The vast dragon sign is hovering in the sky. Each ship is full of people. On the leader ship, a halberd is pointed at the sky. There is a halberd hanging above it.

The scarlet flag rolled fiercely.

Ling Pingyang led a thousand cavalry galloping like thunder along Jiang'an.

Mighty and majestic.

"Come, my lord, open the way quickly!"

Rather than saying that the Qilin Army was coercing the people, it was more like the generals and princes were out on patrol. The border gates of Zhongzhou did not dare to stop them and quickly ordered Li Guanyi's troops to pass. The momentum was majestic and his reputation became bigger and bigger.

It’s just that from now on, it’s the real test——

Ahead is the territory of Yingguo.

Li Guanyi led tens of thousands of people. Almost all the ships in Zhongzhou were sold out by Wenhe. There were also a group of Mohist students in the academy who worked tirelessly to create new institutions.

Boat.

It even reduces the requirements for mechanical ships to the point where they can take people away.

The environment was not very good, in fact it was quite congested. Every time we arrived at a place, we would stop and rest immediately, and then get up the next day and start again. This way, although the speed was much slower, we could bring as many people as possible.

The number of people is increasing, and the personnel among them are also mixed.

There are people who are really in poverty and cannot survive in their original place; but there are also those who have committed crimes in the local area, owe money and refuse to pay it back, or have settled in the local area and have enmity, and gangsters who want to take advantage also sneak in. Among them

There are even die-hard loyalists from major aristocratic families.

But they were picked out one by one by Wei Xuancheng.

This guy's eyes are as if he has magical powers. He can find any problem and then pull it out.

Wang Tong's disciples, headed by Fang Fang Qiao, Du Ming, Wei Xuancheng and others, formulated simple management rules and laws during the march. After the rectification, any petty thieves or those who wanted to do evil were found and dealt with according to the laws and regulations.

The rest of those who have made merit will receive different rewards.

So what the spies sent by the aristocratic family saw was that this refugee group, which they should have regarded as a ragtag group, was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. They set up camps and were not chaotic. The men worked hard, the women cooked, and the children gathered together. The students passed on literature and practiced martial arts.

‘The law is strict and there will be no violation wherever you go’

People in aristocratic families have always said that they are like-minded. Throughout the dynasties, even if the aristocratic families have dissatisfaction with each other, when outsiders challenge the identity of the aristocratic family, the aristocratic families from all over the world will help each other.

What Li Guanyi did has shaken the foundation of the family.

Therefore, when he and his entourage arrived at the territory of Yingguo, there was already propaganda - "What Li Guanyi did was a despicable and shameless person. He came here with the people to protect himself."

'It is precisely because all the heroes in the world are compassionate, righteous, and extremely merciful that they will not use troops to intercept Li Guanyi because he brought the people with him. This person is relying on the benevolence of all the heroes in the world.

, I just took these people as a shield'

"It is for this reason that the heroes, princes and generals who cannot bear to attack are benevolent."

'Li Guanyi, you are such a villain!'

People who say such remarks can be regarded as clear-minded, and the cause is the cause. The famous scholar Sui Lingbo looked at it and was amazed. Then he thought clearly. This family said such words just to throw dirty water.

He was afraid that the people below him would also go.

Sui Lingbo immediately went to the villages and towns, and saw that there were already people dragging their families with them, planning to leave the village and join Li Guanyi's Qilin Army. The village chief wanted to stop him, but it was difficult for them to do such a big thing.

Stop.

Some people have to leave their houses and fields.

If you ask, it is the Yechi cavalry who are famous all over the world. Although they are heavily armored cavalry, they are very good at galloping and attacking. Ye Zhongdao has conquered many cities and fought against them. I don't know when they will come.

Sui Lingbo said: "Don't you know that Li Guanyi is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation?"

The old farmer replied: "Oh, it has indeed been publicized."

Sui Lingbo asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why do you still want to go?"

The old farmer muttered and said: "I see that you are also a learned man. Let me tell you something. When I was young, there was a well in the village. The water in the well was sweet. Some people said it was

What the gods left behind, drinking it can cure all kinds of diseases."

"It must be a lie by charlatans to cure all kinds of diseases, but it's true that it tastes good, and it's true that your body and bones will be strong after drinking it. Everyone goes there to get water."
