Su Li got rid of Chi Lao. Although he felt like he was missing an encyclopedia that sometimes worked and didn't work, he always felt a lot more relaxed.
Moreover, as he now deeply studies "Return to the Treasures of Mountains and Seas" and various Taoist books, his understanding of the world no longer requires Chi Lao to explain it.
He returned to Ji Zheng's camp alone, only to find him looking over here anxiously.
"Mr. Su, you are back now. Didn't the monk give you any trouble?" Ji Zheng asked worriedly.
Su Li said with relief: "It doesn't matter. He also solved a big trouble for me. He is a good person."
When Ji Zheng saw this, he let go of his worries, because Su Li's good mood was obvious at this moment... maybe the monk was really a good person.
"Sir, come here, let me introduce you to Mr. Liao Guard. He is a master of military affairs!" Ji Zheng brought Su Li to the Liao Guard and introduced him.
When the Liao Wei saw Su Li, he actually showed some nervousness, and then bowed and said, "Liao Wei, a disciple of the Split Sword Sect, has met the Immortal Master."
Ji Zheng was also surprised. He didn't expect that the great military strategist in his heart was actually related to Jian Zong?
Of course the Western Qin royal family knew that the Tianli Sword Sect was the outer branch of the Sword Sect!
After hearing this, Su Li nodded in understanding and said: "I see. No wonder you have traces of practicing on your body...Why didn't you persist?"
"Wei, I know that I am too slow to make progress in my cultivation. That's why I went down the mountain to study ten years ago, but I didn't expect to gain any experience in the art of war..."
Liao Wei was still nervous, because he knew that Su Li was a disciple of the Tianli Sword Sect, and he was also someone he had longed for.
"Don't be nervous. Since you have left the Tianli Sword Sect and given up on practicing one way, there is no distinction between us." Su Li said in a gentle tone.
The guard seemed to be relaxed, but also a little disappointed... In the Western Qin realm, there are many people who have practiced martial arts. Who wouldn't want to get involved with the Sword Sect?
"That's right, although Mr. Liao Wei gave up martial arts, he unexpectedly showed his talent in the art of war... Mr. Su, you don't know this gentleman's talent!"
Ji Zheng's face was full of excitement, and he seemed to be thinking about the future again.
Su Li just listen to it, just like what monk Wusheng said at the beginning... Liao Wei is a great talent, but for the time being, Ji Zheng has no chance to show his talents.
However, when Ji Zheng saw Su Li's smiling and silent expression, he suddenly came to his senses, and then said apologetically to the guard, "Ji Zheng is incompetent. I'm afraid he will be wronged during this time."
"It doesn't matter, it's my blessing to be able to swim in the shallow water with Young Master Zheng." However, the guard had expected this scene and said:
"Wei can be considered a scholar. His surgical skills and literary talents are acceptable. If you don't give up, you can be a scribe for the time being."
"That's fine." Ji Zheng said still with some regret... The clerk was his secretary.
He knew that using Liao Wei's talents to do such a thing was indeed an insult to his talents.
...So the group set out on the road again.
The purpose of their trip was to go to Hexi County, west of Anyang, which was originally the west side of the river bed of a section of the Anyang River to the north. It was irrigated by some tributaries of the Anyang River, so it was a fertile field.
I just didn't expect that during the severe drought, all the tributaries of the Anyang River dried up, so that a large area of the Hexi Plain was dried up and turned into sand by the increasingly hot sun.
"This severe drought in Hexi actually had symptoms in previous years. In previous years, the water levels in the Anyang River tributaries would drop seriously in June and July. But I didn't expect that the water levels would start to drop in May this year, and even more so in June.
Dry..."
Ji was explaining the situation on the carriage.
Originally, there were only two people in the carriage, which was quite spacious, but now that the dormitory guards have also been invited, it seems a bit crowded.
However, we are talking about something now, so Liao Wei is crouching next to Ji Zheng's desk and recording something... This clerk enters the role very quickly.
"The river bed is dry... is it because there is less water in the Anyang River, or because the weather is getting hotter at this time of year?" Su Li asked puzzledly.
Theoretically, Hexi County is also in the Anyang River Basin. How could there be a shortage of water next to a big river?
"It rains less than in previous years. Without rain, the sun keeps shining, which makes the drought more and more serious." It seems that Ji Zheng also understands this situation very well.
Su Li just listened to Ji Zheng's intelligence and analysis on the drought in Hexi, but he would not make any conclusions before arriving at the place.
The motorcade went all the way west, but stopped by the Anyang River.
It can be seen that the water potential of the Anyang River in this section is not very great. It seems that not only its tributaries are cut off, but if the drought continues, the entire Anyang River may be cut off.
They encountered a problem at the ferry, that is, because the river water has become shallower, there are no large ferries here, and only some small and medium-sized ferries are ferrying.
And these ferries cannot accommodate the carriage frame left by Ji Zhengna's late king.
"Is the situation serious enough?" Ji Zheng was only worried about the living conditions of his own people. He said without hesitation: "Then let's put the frame here and we will take the ferry to cross the river."
If the frame is left in place, it basically means that it is discarded here.
"Leave the carriage to me and I will take it across the river." Su Li accepted the task.
The main reason is that he feels that traveling in a carriage, especially a 'maglev' carriage, is too comfortable.
Ji Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was the carriage left to him by his father, and he didn't want to just throw it away if he could.
So everyone got on the ferry, and a total of three medium-sized ferries crossed the Anyang River to the west bank.
Su Li sat cross-legged on the driver's seat of the carriage, his true energy pouring out into the heavy sword at the bottom of the carriage...
The next moment, the frame shook slightly and floated completely, and then flew towards the other side of the river... And the speed was much faster than everyone on the ferry, and it reached the other side in almost a moment.
During this process, Su Li felt extremely comfortable!
He originally thought that he might be able to "fly as a dog" in the future, so he had been waiting for the sausage to grow enough to allow him to fly.
But now that he has experienced "flying with a chariot", he suddenly understands... It's not that he can't fly, but he must fly to feel safe!
Coincidentally, the feeling of sitting on the frame of the bicycle and being stable made him feel very comfortable...
"Ouch~" The meat sausage poked its head out of the bag's pocket and cried out happily.
"You think it's better for us to build a flying car ourselves?" Su Li's eyes lit up and he thought Sausage's suggestion was really excellent.
"Ooooo~ooh~"
"Huh? You also want to try driving a flying car?" Su Li was surprised, but thinking that he originally planned to fly with a dog, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with letting the dog drive.
"Okay, let's give it a try when we are free." Su Li nodded in agreement. He really agreed...
