Chapter 224 Who can rival the heroes in the world?
What Yuan Zhi said was indeed true. He felt as if his blood was burning. He suddenly understood what the phrase "supporting Yulong to die for you" meant. At this moment, the blazing dream burned like a flame.

The young general over there simply stretched out his hand and pulled the young strategist up.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If I die, and you foolishly cut your throat, then people in the world will not know about Li Guanyi, the Qilin Army, our hard work, and our 20,000-mile expedition in eight months. They will not know about our determination."

"I think you should live."

"Besides, I don't have to fall down. What if I succeed?"

Li Guanyi licked his tongue, planning to make a big one. He patted Yuan Zhi on the shoulder, and Yuan Zhi calmed down. He said, "Since this is the case, it is only the situation in Jiangnan. With my talent and knowledge, I can slowly promote it by spending time."

"But if you want to swallow up the world and tear a hole, please allow me to recommend a few people. First, Wen Lingjun, who is a talent of the king's assistant and is familiar with the general situation of the aristocratic families. He can make the most suitable judgment for us; and then there are three disciples of Master Wang Tong."

"Those three are good at domestic affairs, laws, and decisions."

"These four men are loyal and austere, wise and honest, and have the talent to assist the king. I hope they will become heroes of the time."

"He has the talent and tools to dominate a country."

"I will write down a list of the rest of the talented people. When you go to the academy, remember to bring them with you."

"Also, there is another person."

Yuan Zhi seemed to have remembered and reported:

"That man is called Wen He, and he is from the Western Regions. As for the others, if you are not convinced, you can retreat. There is no need to rush. But Wen He...if he disagrees, you can knock him out on the spot and drag him away."

"If this person stays with others, it will definitely ruin your plan, my lord."

Li Guan wrote them all down, and then went on to do other things and practice martial arts.

He can only try his best to do the best he can in this era.

What he needed was stronger personal martial arts, and he needed to go to the martial arts world and the academy, pull out a group of students from this secluded place, to support the vast Jiangnan region, and then cultivate a new generation of talents, so that he could truly gain a foothold.

There is still a lot to be done.

The spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River gradually became stronger and turned into summer.

The Qilin Army has a neat and orderly appearance, and each general has his own style.

At this moment, in Zhongzhou, there was already a group of one hundred people, who were marching towards Jiangnan in a mighty manner according to the standards of ancient times for enfeoffing princes. However, these news had not yet been able to be conveyed to Jiangnan in the first place.

At the place where the Qilin Army was training, the sword maniac Murong Longtu looked at the young man and finally said with emotion: "Such a demeanor is no longer the same as it was at the beginning."

Siming drank a sip of tea and said leisurely:

“All the great talents in the world were forced out step by step.”

"Either they die on the road and no one cares, or under increasing pressure, they crack like flint and explode into flames."

Murong Longtu looked at Li Guanyi and the others, and asked calmly again:

"Is Yaoguang the daughter of a whale fisherman?"

Siming nodded, grinned, and answered in a somewhat strange tone:
"In martial arts legends, those who are introverted will hardly have offspring. The Whale Fisherman is the youngest in the martial arts legend. He is romantic and passionate. Because of his innate flawless body and invincible martial arts, he is handsome and has been quite unrestrained in bed for a while."

"It turned out to be true. He had a daughter."

"That guy sat on the beach for several months before accepting that he had a daughter. But for some reason, he refused to keep her by his side."

"This child was only a few years old when her father quietly placed her at the doorstep of the Stargazing Sect of the Three Outer Sects. After that, no one has seen her for many years."

"But, from what I have heard, the whale fishermen do go back to visit her."

"When Yaoguang was young, a whale fisherman found a fist-sized night-shining pearl on the bottom of the sea to wish her a happy birthday. He disguised himself and pretended not to know her. He asked Yaoguang where her parents were. Then the little girl directly replied that she had no father or mother."

“So the whale fishermen seem to have been hit hard and are in a very unhappy mood.”

"After that, I only visited her secretly and protected her secretly, but I didn't recognize her."

Murong Longtu said: "Still as awkward as ever."

Siming sighed, grumbled twice, and said, "After all, it's him. He is stubborn and self-centered, arrogant, cold on the surface, but radical in reality, and has extremely high martial arts skills. When he meets Yaoguang and Guanyi, I'm afraid things will be full of twists and turns. Why don't you..."

Jian Kuang replied calmly: "Well, when I entered the martial arts world, Yaoguang came with me."

Siming had a terrible headache. He knew that Jian Kuang was not the type to avoid trouble.

So he asked, "What if we provoke that guy?"

"That guy, although he is not the type to kill people indiscriminately, he will definitely be furious and take Yaoguang away."

The sword maniac said calmly: "If the whale fisherman comes, I will have the sword in my hand to settle the dispute with him."

"As for taking it away."

"There is no place in the world where I cannot find someone, with only the sword in my hand."

Siming felt speechless. The whale fisherman was an orphan, with a willful, extreme and extremely stubborn personality. The sword maniac was arrogant all his life and never explained to anyone. Both of them were quite protective of their shortcomings, and when they encountered something that angered them.

One is, I am angry and I will not tell you, I just want to kill you and you will never understand even after you die.

One is that I will tell you the reason before I do it to you, and then I will run over you with dignity.

These two guys have the kind of personalities that are most incompatible with each other.

Plus the relationship between Li Guanyi and Yaoguang.

I'm afraid a fight is about to break out.

A battle between the world's greatest master and a martial arts legend.

For a moment, Siming didn't know whether he should watch the fun or avoid this fatal danger.

But soon, Jian Kuang was seen drinking tea and said again:

"Besides, he abandoned Yaoguang when she was young. If they don't recognize each other in the future, then that's fine. But if he still intends to rely on his father's status to dictate to the younger generation, I have only one word for such a person."

The blue-shirted swordsman was indifferent, his lips moved slightly:
"roll!"

Such an attitude towards martial arts legends.

Siming was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that such a big thing might not happen once in thousands of years. He had to go and see it. He just stretched out his hand and pushed the black tortoise Dharma image away. Then he raised his palm, slapped his thigh, and said:
"Fuck, this is such an interesting thing!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!!!"

........................

A few days later, Li Guanyi reorganized the Qilin Army. The soldiers wore armor and lined up in formation. They didn't know what Li Guanyi was going to do. They saw the commander walk up to the platform made of sand and said after reviewing the troops:
"Everyone, do you still recognize me?"

This is what Li Guanyi said to the soldiers of the Qilin Army a year ago.

At this moment, everyone burst into laughter. Li Guanyi didn't care. He just wanted to make everyone laugh. He just spoke and said, "At the end of summer last year, we left Zhenbei Pass and traveled all the way. At that time, I told you that I would take you home and divide the land among you."

"Do you guys still remember?"

The Qilin Army suddenly calmed down. The smiles on their faces froze. Then they raised their heads and stared at the young man over there. They saw their commander raised his hand and swept a lot of heavy wooden boxes out. Li Guanyi put his hand on them and said softly:

"Land deed."

The Qilin Army soldiers' breathing became heavy.

They are bandits who were forced to go to the mountains after losing their hometown, the so-called rioters who are not tolerated by the big country, and the people who have to live in the mountains and live like savages after fleeing from their hometown. At this moment, their commander is about to return what they desire most to their hands.

Fan Qing's breathing became a little rapid.

Li Guanyi said in a deep voice: "According to the procedure agreed upon by the master and me, everyone has one."

"Then, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

The young general looked at the people in front of him. Looking at these people who had come all the way with him, from the initial rebels and bandits to the now famous Qilin Army, he showed a gentle smile on his face and stretched out his hand: "You can choose your own path."

"Okay, let's go back to the countryside!"

"You can still come back."

He stretched out his hand, and golden light spread in his palm, and finally turned into a Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd. He spun around, wrapped up the scarlet Qilin flag with the sharp blade of the halberd, and then inserted the halberd into the ground, letting the scarlet flag flutter in the wind.

Li Guanyi looked at the person in front of him and said:

"Ten days. During these ten days, each of you will take over your own territory."

"Ten days later, I will be waiting here. Those who wish to return to their hometowns can return their weapons and armor, collect their pay and leave. Those who wish to come back, I will be waiting here for you."

Yu Wen Tianxian lowered his eyes, a fierce look on his face.

On this day, all the soldiers of the Qilin Army went to claim land, but Yuwen Tianxian took Yuwen Hua to look for Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi did not seem surprised by the general's arrival. He just brought out some Jiangnan wine and prepared a few side dishes, and drank with the two of them under the moonlight.

After drinking a little, Yuwen Tianxian held up his wine glass, looked at the moonlight, and said:

"A year ago, I would never have thought that you and I would have the possibility of drinking under the moonlight."

Li Guanyi replied: "So, the world is wonderful."

Yuwen Tianxian smiled carefreely, and then held the wine cup and said, "The Qilin Army's division of land will definitely affect the interests of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. However, there is no force in Jiangnan that can compete with you. In addition, the Murong family is the largest and strongest family in Jiangnan."

"Your policy will be implemented here. Although there will be obstacles, it will definitely succeed."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I'll just borrow your good words, General Yuwen."

Yuwen Tianxian suddenly stood up, holding a wine cup, half-knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "But, at this time, please allow my uncle and nephew to leave." Li Guanyi hurriedly supported them, but Yuwen Tianxian's realm was higher than Li Guanyi, and he was unable to support them.

Yuwen Tianxian raised his eyes and looked at Li Guanyi, saying: "As for what happened last year, my uncle and nephew have also fought under your command. The past grudges have been settled. Now you have established a firm foothold in Jiangnan, and the previous captives have been sent back to their country."

"I should leave too."

"After all, I am a descendant of the Yuwen family. I was nurtured by my family and have received the grace of the country. I cannot help but feel grateful. Li Guanyi, please do not refuse this matter." Li Guanyi was a little complicated. He helped Yuwen Tianxian up, poured a glass of wine, and said:

"I understand what the general means."

Yu Wenhua was not interested.

On the second day, Li Guanyi personally sent them to the city gate. Yuan Zhi, Fan Qing, Ling Pingyang, Changsun Wuchou, Lei Laomeng, Shi Dalin, Nangong Wumeng and others were all there, and they said goodbye one by one.

Two dragon horses are ready.

Yuwen Tianxian exhaled a breath. He looked at the faces he had seen day and night for the past year, lowered his eyes and said, "Everyone, remember, on the battlefield, there is killing at every step. As a general, you are responsible for the overall situation of the country, the safety of the people, and the life and death of the soldiers. You must pay attention to it."

Li Guanyi brought a glass of wine and said, "The Qilin Army is composed of men who came from humble backgrounds. We have changed over the past year, and everyone has their own strengths, all taught by the general. If you want to leave, Guanyi dare not stop you..."

"please!"

Yuwen Tianxian took the wine handed to him by Li Guanyi and drank it without hesitation.

Then he jumped on the horse and rode away with Yu Wenhua. The dragon horse was very fast and powerful. Yu Wenhua was very annoyed along the way. He didn't know that as a child of an aristocratic family, leaving the Qilin Army composed of only ruffians and returning to Ying State should be a very happy thing for him.

But for some reason, he felt such a cramped pain and depression in his heart that he almost wanted to vomit.

He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qi, are we leaving now?"

Yuwen Tianxian was silent for a long time. He was a very mature general with a strategic vision. Compared with Yuwen Hua, a young general of the fourth level, who was only 28 years old, he was much stronger. Especially after being in Jiangnan for a long time, he knew that the Qilin Army was not a force to be reckoned with. He replied:

"Li Guanyi has occupied the Jiangnan area. One day, he will definitely compete with Daying."

“The longer you stay, the more painful it will be when you want to leave.”

"If you continue like this..."

"If you don't leave now, you really won't be able to leave. Don't you miss your parents, your grandparents, your brothers and sisters, and your relatives and friends? Don't you want to serve your country?"

Yu Wenhua had nothing to say, he just kept his head down and rode away on his horse.

The images in his mind kept turning. When he thought about the men he had brought up, how would they feel if they came back ten days later and found that he, the commander, was gone? Would they think that he had abandoned them?

If I'm not there, what will they do if they can't beat Fan Qing after training?
The world is not yet at peace, without me...

Yu Wenhua just gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fuck those idiots!"

He almost had an urge to turn around and go back to the Qilin Army immediately. If he went back, he would not be responsible for the war on the Ying State side, but only deal with the Chen State. This would be considered to be doing justice to his family. However, the cultivation of his family, his uncle Yuwen Lie, and the attention of his father and grandfather were like another knife stirring his heart.

After running for about two or three hundred miles, they saw a large ship lying across the river at the ferry ahead. It was not a fleet-level warship, but an auxiliary-level one, with soldiers from the Qilin Army on board.

Yuwen Tianxian was silent and slowed down the speed of his horse.

As a general, he still had a trace of vigilance in his heart, worried that Li Guanyi would not let them leave. After all, they had witnessed how Li Guanyi's Kirin Army was founded and trained, and they even knew part of the content of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

If it was Yuwen Tianxian, or Yuwen Tianxian’s brother Yuwen Lie.

The two of us, if not to kill them, will be under control!

His right hand was already on the weapon behind him, and he was already alert, ready to kill if he noticed anything wrong. At this moment, the Qilin Army soldiers also noticed the two of them and saluted. Yuwen Tianxian asked calmly:
"Why are you here?"

The sergeant smiled and said, "Following the order of the Marshal, we are seeing the two generals off."

He turned and pointed at the big ship.

Yuwen Tianxian stepped forward and saw that there were more than two hundred soldiers and two people in the warship, which made Yuwen Tianxian's face change slightly, because the two fainted people were the two famous generals of Ying State who were captured by Li Guanyi.

Meng Dahao, the brave general who is ranked 91st on the list of divine generals.

And the Zhao Guoqi, who ranks 79th and has the style of a great general and is a national treasure.

Yuwen Tianxian's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the Qilin Army soldier and said:
"This!!! Anything else?!"

The soldier held a letter in both hands and handed it to Yuwen Tianxian, saying, "The Marshal asked me to give this letter to you, General Yuwen." Yuwen Tianxian's palms trembled slightly as he opened the letter. The words on it were calm and simple. It was Li Guanyi's handwriting.

"General Yuwen, I am glad to see you."

"General, you are leaving. I dare not stop you. Although you and I are enemies, the Qilin Army has received your kindness and guidance over the past year and has long since turned enemies into friends. If you leave with Yu Wenhua alone, I'm afraid you will be slandered after you return to Yingguo."

"By then, even if the emperor is a hero, he will inevitably have some grudges in his heart."

"With your talent, you should not be harmed by treacherous officials. Here are more than 200 soldiers under your command. After asking, they are willing to return to their homeland with you. There are also these two famous generals and a warship."

"When you go back, you can say that you took advantage of Li Guanyi's unpreparedness to save him and seize the boat."

"Acalanatha has never been defeated by Li Guanyi."

"I hope that the general can still achieve his wish and realize his ambitions on the battlefield."

"One day in the world, generals will meet generals, and kings will meet kings."

"No need to hold back!"

"Disciple, Li Guanyi presents this."

Yuwen Tianxian's palms began to tremble violently.

But this famous general suddenly crushed the letter, drew out his sword abruptly, and put it across his neck, his eyes red. If Yuwen Hua had not rushed towards him, he would have almost committed suicide. Finally, the sword fell to the ground. Yuwen Tianxian sat there dejectedly, with his fists clenched.

Finally, it slowly loosened.

"Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi..."

"Haha, what a great Qilin! If I had not been born in the Yuwen family, how great it would be if you were the prince of my Great Ying Kingdom. Loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, how can we be like this!"

"How about me!"

Yuwen Tianxian slammed his palm heavily to the ground. The famous general who was full of lofty sentiments and calm as a mountain finally became depressed:
"In this life, I will never compete with Jiangnan again..."

So he returned to Ying.

By the time Yuwen Hua and Yuwen Tianxian returned to Ying State, ten days had passed.

During these ten days, Fan Qing left the Qilin Army just like his subordinates. He had his own land again. It was not the kind of uncultivated wasteland, but mixed land.

In proportion, there is a part of fertile land, a part of ordinary land, and a part of uncultivated land as a gift. If you have the energy, you can continue to reclaim the wasteland, or it can be your own.

Fan Qing and other Qilin Army soldiers were almost red-eyed and started to make a lot of noise.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and is used to grow rice, which can be harvested twice a year. The early rice seedlings are planted in mid-to-late May and the early rice is harvested in late July. Although it is a little late now, I can still catch up. Then I think about building my own house. Although I am tired every day, I feel comfortable.

Lying on the bed, thinking about the rice growing in the sun, I felt indescribably happy.

I thought, how nice it would be if mom and dad were here too?

Even a man like Fan Qing couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Fan Qing thought of the agreement with the commander of the Qilin Army. He hesitated, and suddenly thought that it might not be a bad idea to stay here.

But he thought of the young general, and his promises and commitments.

But he had mixed feelings in his heart. He was worried. What if everyone thought the same? If he didn't go, and no one else went either, and the Marshal turned around and saw that there were no more comrades behind him, how uncomfortable would that be?

He stretched out his hand, touched the armor, and then after a long silence, he put on the armor.

He strode out, holding the knife. He felt uneasy without any land.

But if I don’t wear armor or hold a sword, I will feel uneasy.

He went out at dawn today. For the past ten days, the halberd has been stuck in the area where soldiers are reviewed, and the responsibility of guarding the ferry was given to the navy of the Angry Scale Dragon King.

Fan Qing saw the young man sitting cross-legged in front of the halberd.

It was so early, but there was already a group of people behind Li Guanyi. Fan Qing realized that he was not alone, so his heart warmed up for some reason. He held the knife and strode to his original position, with the blade of his knife against the ground.

He finally realized that the blade was no longer for killing his way forward, but also for protecting the land under his feet. The people in front of him pointed out the direction of their dreams. He shared his distant dream with those who had nothing, so -

How could they abandon him?!
Fan Qing held his weapon and said softly:
"Fan Qing, return to the team."

He noticed that figures were coming one after another. They were wearing armor and holding knives, coming from all directions.

Finally, they gathered behind the figure and said:
"Wei Shunying, return to the team!"

"Lin Minglei, return to the team!"

“…Return to the team!” “………Return to the team!”

There were silent and brief responses one after another, but they continued without end, and finally turned into a momentum like the waves. One could only hear footsteps coming from all directions, and the solemn sound of armor and plates colliding, and then they merged together, and the sounds of returning to the team could be heard, like wild beasts gathering.

When the sun rose, the young man stood up, his back straight, and turned around. Behind him, armor was shining and flags were dancing wildly. Those former rioters stood solemnly under the flags with a calm temperament.

The young general stretched out his hand, grabbed the halberd, and raised it suddenly.

wow-

The scarlet flag seemed to roll down from the sky, dancing wildly between heaven and earth.

Then all the swords were raised high, and they stood like a forest, silent and without sound.

Thus, the Qilin Army was formed.

At the same time, Yuwen Tianxian, Yuwen Hua and others returned to the imperial city of Ying State.

Yulin was demoted.

The emperor came to meet him ten miles outside the city.

Therefore, all the officials and soldiers of Ying State were willing to die for him.

The heroes of the world are not from one place, and the fight between dragons and tigers is the eternal footnote of this era and this chaotic world. At this time——

A large group of people came from Zhongzhou and were given the title of Marquis Wu of Qin.

Finally arriving in Jiangnan!
