We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

In this way, Du He led the team slowly and leisurely forward.

The rainy season lasts a long time, so whenever he passes by the county town, he will take the team in to rest.

As soon as the refugees in the team came into contact with the local people, the people knew that the team's destination was Fengguo, and they immediately became interested.

The news of Li Che defeating the Khitan had just spread throughout Daqing, and even the common people had heard of it.

At least when I go to Fengguo, I won’t be bullied by the barbarians and I don’t have to worry about safety issues.

Moreover, Your Majesty has relocated so many people to the outside of the Great Wall, which means that the outside of the Great Wall is in need of people and has the ability to accept refugees.

The people don't ask for much. They just want to have something to eat and a home to shelter from the wind and rain.

Therefore, every time the team left a city, there would be some new "refugees" with their families.

In addition to the refugees, there were also some strong and hideous people who secretly mixed into the team.

Their identities are also very special, they are rangers!

Confucianism uses literature to disrupt law, while chivalry uses martial arts to ban it.

The knights-errant in ancient times were an extremely special group of people. In the eyes of the Legalists, they were one of the five vermin and their crimes were unforgivable.

But there are also some people among the knights who are generous and righteous, love to stand up for the weak, and are willing to take up their three-foot swords to wipe out all the injustices in the world.

When foreign enemies invade, these knights will take up arms and unite to resist the foreign enemies.

Although the behavior of the knights does not conform to the generally accepted ideas and norms of society, they also represent the unrestrained character of the people in feudal society.

The stories about Li Che from outside the Great Wall made these knights sympathize with him so much that they wished they could pick up their swords and follow the King Feng to the outside of the Great Wall to kill the barbarians.

As a result, a large number of patriotic knights took the opportunity to infiltrate the team and prepared to follow His Royal Highness Prince Feng.

But after a long time, the fool also felt that something was wrong.

On this day, Du He looked at the endlessly long team behind him and fell into deep thought.

"This is 50,000 people?!" Du He called his deputy general, "Why is this team so much longer than before?"

The deputy general looked embarrassed.

Of course he had discovered it a long time ago, but the reason he didn't say anything was not only because he sympathized with these people, but also because this matter was indeed difficult to handle.

It is true that it is against the law for people to leave their hometown without permission, but many people here are displaced people, and it is not illegal for them to flee as refugees.

Besides, even if I found out, what could I do? Drive them away or kill them?

"Hmm... Sir, perhaps the people are overworked, so the line has become longer?"

Du He glared at one of them and pointed at him: "That guy even carried his own table out. You told me he was the first refugee. Which refugee could carry a table this far?"

The deputy general's mouth twitched.

This guy is the same. It’s fine if he just joins the team secretly, but why does he carry a broken table on his back?

"And where did that old yellow ox come from? Even refugees have cows these days."

The deputy general looked at the old ox, and the old ox looked at him innocently.

"Also, what's going on with these people? They're carrying machetes and swords, and their arms are thicker than mine. Are they refugees?"

Du He looked at the group of rangers again, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot:

"This group of people, some leading cows, some holding chickens, some carrying children on their backs, and some even holding ancestral tablets, how could they be the refugees from the beginning?"

"Sir." The deputy general knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he told the truth, "The people worship the king, so they brought their wives and children to surrender."

"They are so far away from home now. If we drive them back, they will either starve to death along the way or be killed by robbers."

"Why not just let them follow? After all, it's the people's spontaneous behavior, and His Majesty won't blame them."

Du He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the irritation in his heart.

"Go and count how many extra people there are!"

Seeing that the deputy general didn't move at all, Du He shouted angrily: "Go quickly!"

The deputy general bowed and said, "Sir, there is no need to count. I have been keeping track of it for the past few days. There are about 20,000 more people."

Du He widened his eyes.

In just a few days, fifty thousand became seventy thousand?

If I haven't discovered it yet, by the time I reach Fengguo, wouldn't the number have become 100,000?

"Alright, that's enough." Du He waved his hand irritably. "Starting tomorrow, we will strictly inspect the team and forbid civilians from joining without permission."

The deputy general had no choice but to bow and say, "I will do my best."

There were only 3,000 soldiers escorting the refugees. How could they possibly keep an eye on a team of 70,000 people?

If this second-generation rich man had not seen that he could not meet the deadline and had not simply given up and rested every time he passed a city, there would not have been so many refugees coming in.

Du He and his team were still slowly heading towards Fengguo, while the infrastructure work in Fengguo was running frantically.

In just one month, Fengguo workers completed four phases of the project, and the length of the cement road jumped to more than 200 miles.

As the distance became longer, logistical supplies became more difficult and the construction speed began to slow down.

Li Che was not in a hurry, so he simply let Liu Ye be in charge of the project and returned to Chaoyang City to coordinate the overall situation.

It is already midsummer. The Northeast is very cold in winter and not cool in summer.

Ancient people also wore long robes in summer. Li Che was so hot every day that he didn't even want to go out. He relied on ice made from saltpeter to survive.

Fengwang Palace.

Li Che sat on the throne, looking intently at the people below, his eyes full of seriousness.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

He suddenly raised his hand to stop, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"No, no, the movement is not right, you need to twist it!"

The Silla maidservants in the audience lowered their heads in fear, looking pitiful.

"I have said that you must be passionate and make the soldiers feel energized. While relaxing them, you must also motivate them!"

"This is the duty of the art troupe. Look at how pretentious and pathetic you all are. I'm almost falling asleep just looking at you."

"Spirit, spirit, jump up!"

The Silla maids looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Come on, come on!" Li Che waved to the musician beside him, "Music, start!"

APT!APT!APT!

The first generation girl group in the audience danced with all their might. This time their moves were more precise, and they had some resemblance to the girl groups from their previous lives.

Li Che watched the familiar Korean group's hot dance and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

I should be the first time traveler to bring the Korean group to ancient times, right?

This was the scene Wang Chongjian, who was tanned a shade darker, saw when he arrived in front of the palace.

The prince was sitting on the throne, holding a glass of iced honey in his hand, with maids behind him massaging his shoulders and legs, and dancers below performing a passionate dance.

Li Che would occasionally give instructions: "Hey, hey, hey, don't overdo it. If you stick your butt up so high, it will provoke the soldiers to anger."

It seems like a breakdown of etiquette and music...

Wang Chongjian's face suddenly turned even darker.

We are building the road under the scorching sun, and this is how you coordinate the overall situation?

He immediately ran over with anger in his heart.

"Your Highness, you!" Wang Chongjian opened his mouth to spit.

Before Wang Chongjian finished speaking, Li Che glanced at him and subconsciously threw the iced honey water in his hand over.

"Damn it! Where did Niko come from?! Uncle Yang, didn't I tell you not to let these Kunlun slaves run around!
