Chapter 177 "Coincidence"

When Wang Baiyan came down and saw Li Qi, his expression suddenly became cheerful. He walked with relaxed steps all the way to Li Qi, cupped his hands and replied happily: "Brother, it was only a few hours ago when we last met. , I didn’t expect to see each other again. It seems that the Buddhist theory of ‘fate’ really makes sense. Look, isn’t this our fate?”

He had a smile on his face and looked really happy: "Last time we said goodbye, you were in a hurry and I didn't even have time to ask your name. Do you dare to ask me my brother's name?"

"Well, I didn't expect to see Brother Wang again so soon. Li Qi, I have something important to attend to. I was rude earlier. I'm really sorry." Li Qi immediately stood up and replied, with a smile on his face.

But there was wariness and suspicion deep in his eyes.

What's going on? This person is the master of Jinlang Sect?

Is there really such a coincidence?

The two walked into the door, others were guarding outside, and the door was closed tightly.

Wang Baiyan pulled Li Qi and sat down: "There are rumors that someone is looking for us to do big business. I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Brother Li. I didn't expect that such a coincidence would happen. Come on. , we went in and said that we felt like old friends with Brother Li last time and wanted to talk a few more words, but Brother Li was busy with work and couldn’t force him to stay. Now he’s fine. I didn’t expect that I would be able to help Brother Li in some way, but please tell me if you have any. Wherever I can help, I will never refuse!”

"Thank you, Brother Wang. You should have heard what Di Dan said about the matter, right?" Li Qi sat down and asked.

Anyway, things have reached this point. There is no point in wondering whether it is a coincidence. It is better to talk to Wang Baiyan more.

"Yes, when I heard what he said, I knew it must be you, Brother Li. After all, at this time, besides Brother Li, who else would care about the life and death of more than 100,000 people? Brother Li is so righteous, I admire you. "Wang Baiyan said with admiration.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Stop saying those complimentary words. It really embarrasses me. Let's talk about food. Brother Wang controls the Jinlang Sect, but he shouldn't be able to get 300,000 stones, right?"

Back to business, Wang Baiyan smiled and responded: "Indeed, 300,000 shi is not much, not much. It is definitely enough for daily running water, but if you really want to spend it all at once, then basically every family will It all needs to be considered.”

"But the Zhang family in Guangyang is different. They have their own unique channels. They can definitely come up with 300,000 dan. It can even be said that 300,000 dan is nothing to them."

Hearing this, Li Qi found that Wang Baiyan's tone was very determined.

"Why did Brother Wang say this? What are their channels?" Li Qi was a little curious.

Why does he believe so much that the Zhang family in Guangyang can provide 300,000 shi of food?

Wang Baiyan, on the other hand, lowered his head mysteriously, leaned into Li Qi's ear, and said to Li Qi: "I wonder if Brother Li has ever heard of it, outside the territory?"

Extraterritorial! ?

Li Qi's eyes widened. He didn't expect to hear this answer.

"The small extraterritorial worlds are many strange existences outside the world. As far as I know, the Zhang family in Guangyang holds the entrance to a small extraterritorial world. Their food comes from that place, so they With the current scope of influence, we can provide tens of millions of dan of food," Wang Baiyan said.

Li Qi suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly: "I see, then if I go directly to the Zhang family, will they sell me food?"

"Of course not. You don't know your identity, and you don't know your whereabouts. How could the Zhang family sell you food?" Wang Baiyan said with a smile: "Even if I help you introduce it, it's impossible. There's nothing missing about food." It doesn’t count, but if it’s too much, it’s a strategic material.”

"Besides, Brother Li, I'm afraid you don't know something. You are going to save these people now, but you have violated a taboo. Maybe someone will come to trouble you after a while. Standing behind the Zhang family is Guangyang Situ. Yang Situ doesn’t want to see them alive.”

Wang Baiyan's words made Li Qi confused.

Li Qi frowned: "Brother Wang, what do you know? And why do you tell me this?"

"I'm just telling you some things that outsiders like you don't know. I have been working in Guangyang City for a long time, but Brother Li, you are new here and there are still many things you don't know, so I still have to explain them to you one by one." Wang Baiyan explained.

"Why?" Li Qi didn't understand.

Wang Baiyan, on the other hand, laughed, held Li Qi's hand, and said happily: "Why? Haha, Brother Li and I hit it off as old friends at first sight, and we wish we could marry each other. What's the reason? Besides, Brother Li works for hundreds of thousands of people. , How can I just sit back and ignore him if he has such a high sense of justice? As soon as I heard about Brother Li’s deeds, I immediately regarded him as a confidant and I will naturally help him!”

Li Qi held his hands and felt a chill, but he didn't show it, instead he was thinking about it in his mind.

Is what the other person said true?

not necessarily.

But can the other party help me?

Can.

So, let’s just listen to it seriously.

So, Li Qiye smiled and said: "In that case, I'm relieved. Then Brother Wang, please introduce it to me. How many things are there that I don't know?"

"This is the main thing. Brother Li should also know that Guangyang City abandoned the defense of Zhenguan, abandoned the people, and asked the army to immediately return to defend Guangyang City. This was actually the idea of ​​the Guangyang prefect. They thought that Zhenguan If you can't hold on any longer, prepare to retreat a certain distance and use the power of the mountains and rivers in the middle to set up a huge formation to prevent the demon from invading. "

"So, in order to implement this idea, Guangyang Situ will definitely not let you evacuate slowly to save people. As for your desire to slowly send food over, that is even more impossible." Wang Boyan said.

"This is unreasonable. There is no conflict between evacuating the people and setting up the formation." Li Qi frowned.

Wang Boyan shook his head and said meaningfully: "But what if I say that the people are part of the formation?"

With a bang, the chair where Li Qi was sitting cracked, and the stone bricks on the ground also broke into several pieces.

Li Qi's face was gloomy, and he spat out two words: "Blood... Sacrifice?"

"Yes, Guangyang Governor is a seventh-grade witch, so he naturally knows the method of blood sacrifice. So, you know it, right? Why do you keep hitting a wall? Brother Li, you are also a smart and clever person. Think about it again. If this is the case, you go to Guangyang Zhang family and ask him to sell grain to you. Is it possible?"

"What he wants is the annihilation of all the people near the town, and he wants them to die, otherwise the formation can't be set up."

Wang Baiyan said decisively, and then looked at Li Qi: "What do you think, Brother Li?"

After taking a deep breath, Li Qi slowly said: "The Zhang family is Guangyang Situ , he will never sell grain to me, and I will also alert the enemy, just like now. If you, brother Wang, are also Guangyang Situ's people, then my whereabouts should have been exposed to Guangyang Situ long ago. When he finds out that I am still working on this matter, he may order me to be removed to avoid ruining the plan. "

"Yes, that's the truth. Although I am not from the Guangyang City government and I hate their practices, the entire grain alliance is backed by Lord Situ, who is an eighth-rank official, and he can mobilize several eighth-rank officials. Brother Li should know the despair of facing several eighth-rank officials, right?" Wang Boyan waved his fan and said to Li Qi.

"Thank you for your advice, brother Wang, but you shouldn't just tell me that it's impossible, right?" Li Qi asked.

Wang Boyan said so much to him, definitely not to let him retreat, otherwise it would be meaningless.

This person definitely has his own purpose. Just talking about so many inside stories has made Li Qi feel something is wrong.

Seeing Li Qi staring at him, Wang Boyan put away his folding fan and said seriously: "Of course not. If we just let Brother Li retreat, not only Brother Li will be unwilling, but even I will be unwilling."

"Originally, I was also worried and didn't know how to plan to solve this matter. Now I heard that Brother Li and I have the same ambition, I immediately thought, why can't we go to the outside world to get food ourselves?"

"The two of us can find a small world outside the domain and get food to save people. Can't we bypass them? In this way, Jinlangmen can also obtain the same status as the Zhang family, and Brother Li can also get the food you want and save so many lives. Kill two birds with one stone, right?"

Wang Boyan said this, looking at Li Qi with some hope, hoping to get his reaction.

Li Qi was stunned.

He felt that he was stunned more times today than in the past six months.

"Brother Wang, are you thinking this too simply? Finding a small world outside the domain, how can it be so simple?" Li Qi shook his head and said.

There are many worlds outside the domain, but going there is not something a mere ninth-rank person can do.

"If I am not sure, how can I say this to Brother Li? I happen to have a clue to the world outside the domain, but I have no masters to help subdue the heaven of that small world. Brother Li, can you--?" Wang Boyan said so.

Hearing this, Li Qi muttered in his heart.

There is such a coincidence?

Are you kidding me?

It's nonsense that this person is the leader of the Jinlang Sect. It's barely acceptable that he and I have the same interests, but now, Wang Boyan said that he has an entrance to the world outside the domain?

Are you kidding me?

A mere ninth-rank person is qualified to intervene in the world outside the domain?

"Look at Brother Li, don't you believe it? Then take a look at this." Wang Boyan said, taking out a jade pendant in his hand.

On the jade pendant, the words "Bai Xuan" were printed.

Just taking a look at the jade pendant, Li Qi suddenly felt a strange air rushing towards him.

He thought about it and realized that this Qi did not hurt his ability, so he opened the small world of his human body and accepted this trace of Qi.

Then, he understood.

This trace of Qi is called Book Qi, which is a kind of Qi that can carry divine will and information.

As soon as this Book Qi entered his body, Li Qi immediately understood the function of this jade pendant.

The jade pendant is the key to a cave.

And that cave is the "opportunity" left by a predecessor. He became a seventh-grade Taoist and was about to leave the Baiyue territory. He decided to give the cave he lived in and the unwanted furniture and magic weapons to future generations, so he spread the key out and the destined person got it.

In the cave, there is a small world outside the domain that is not in the grade.

This world is not in the grade, and it cannot support the existence of any practitioners, nor can it support the development of technology. It is almost all mortals, with only a few people who are not in the grade.

This kind of small world almost does not produce Qi, and there is no material to speak of. It is just a potted plant of the seventh-grade boss at the beginning.

Put a small world at home for ornamental purposes.

However, there is undoubtedly food in there, and it can be eaten.

"I had been preparing to go in, but although the Heavenly Dao in that world was only of the ninth rank, the resistance was extremely fierce. I couldn't take it alone, and I didn't want to tell other people in the Grain Alliance about it, so I was looking for helpers. It wasn't until I met Brother Li that I made up my mind to tell Brother Li." Wang Baiyan said.

"Why me?" Li Qi asked.

"I have heard of Brother Li's name. The sorcerer Li Qi came from the south and did good deeds along the way. His reputation spread far and wide. Now he is carrying the people who are left unattended without asking for anything in return. To be honest, I trust you with such a character."

"When you do things with Brother Li, as long as you have a good talk in advance, I believe you will not break your promise. If you cooperate with the wolves and tigers of the Grain Alliance, you have to be careful of being stabbed in the back and taken advantage of."

"This is called a gentleman can be deceived by a trick. Only a gentleman like Brother Li can I dare to take out this kind of thing without worrying about being calculated." Wang Baiyan looked at Li Qi with a smile.

When he said this, Li Qi suddenly realized.

Last night at Tianning Temple, this person spoke to me, and he recognized me at that time?

In this way, it is barely justifiable, but... it is still a bit too coincidental.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Li Qi was suspicious, but he dared not be sure.

After all, it could be a coincidence.

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Qi finally replied: "Doing these things privately is still a bad idea. I'd better go to the Zhang family first. If the Zhang family doesn't agree, then I will go to the outside world with Brother Wang."

"Okay, I'll be here for the next few days. Brother Li, come anytime, and we can leave anytime." Wang Boyan stood up and said to Li Qi.

Li Qi also stood up and nodded to show that he knew. Then, he walked out of the door, got on the horse, and galloped away.

Try both sides. If the Zhang family is willing to sell, it would be the best. If not, then come back.

Wang Boyan was behind, watching Li Qi walk away.

Di Danyi came over tremblingly, knelt on one knee, raised his head with his hands folded, and said: "Boss... why do we have to..."

"Call me Master." Wang Boyan's smiling expression turned into an indifferent face.

"Yes, Master, what about the former Master?" Di Danyi asked tentatively.

"Tell him to go as far away as possible and not to come back within a month." Wang Boyan said lightly.

"Understood!" Di Danyi immediately stood up and ran away.

The manor here returned to silence again, leaving only Wang Boyan slowly brewing tea on the tea stove.
