Chapter 69 Analysis

Li Qi looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

But his mind had already begun to work frantically.

Let's analyze it.

The dragon colt left a picture, could it be the name of the old horse.

Was the old horse the mount of General Song? It was a horse worth a thousand gold coins, and General Tang had taken a fancy to it and wanted to take it back to tame it, but he ran away?

Now, the general of Tang was trying to find the old horse back and hired a large number of fortune-tellers.

Li Qi was illiterate before and didn't know much, but he was not idle. Since he was chased by the soldiers, he also asked Shen Shuibi a lot about the military system, so that he could judge the strength of the soldiers in the future.

The so-called general, this official position is not too big. The army of Tang is roughly divided into marshals, generals, generals, colonels, and teams, with clear layers.

A squad is five people, with a squad leader.

Two to ten squads are a team, with ten to fifty people, with a captain or flag officer.

Several teams are a battalion, with one hundred to five hundred people, and a colonel.

Several camps form a prefecture. The number of people in a prefecture is not fixed, but it is usually a temporary garrison for the legion, with a captain.

Several prefectures support an army.

The so-called army is at least 10,000 people, and the general is the leader of an army of at least 10,000 people.

A general must be extraordinary if he can lead an army. The general of Song State can be a seventh-rank general... Then the general of Tang State should be a little stronger, right?

A strong man among the seventh-rank? Or... the sixth-rank?

Li Qi felt that he could now resist 20,000 to 30,000 jin of boulders, and could easily kill dozens of strong men. Moreover, his thick skin was invulnerable to swords and guns. If he was well prepared, he could easily destroy ordinary gangs.

But he, in fact, has not yet entered the rank.

He fought with the ninth-rank, but it was purely because most of the opponent's strength was used to cut off the water veins at the root of the mountain, and he was also attacked by himself with a willow branch, which hurt his soul. Moreover, it was underwater, and Li Qi had the advantage of terrain. In order to go into the water, he even took off his armor on his body.

With so many advantages, Li Qi was able to kill a ninth-rank soldier. Afterwards, he almost died. If Shen Shuibi hadn't used her body as a barrier and used her pure body to block the Yin Qi of the underworld, he would have died steadily.

So, what is the level of the sixth-rank soldier...

Is it like the general of the Lizhou Armed Forces, who cuts off the Lishui River with a single sword?

It's not a good thing to be targeted by such a person.

So, can this fortune teller be trusted?

Definitely not. Li Qi would never trust such a person who would throw a bomb at him right away.

The other party said that through some clues she knew, plus seeing herself with her own eyes, she guessed that she had picked up the dragon horse's photo and killed a ninth-rank soldier.

This may be true, but there should be some concealment. At least, she must have other clues, otherwise she couldn't guess these things.

But, in the end... we can cooperate.

Because compared to the sixth-rank general, the fortune teller in front of him is obviously weaker, so we can talk about cooperation.

As long as you stay alert, even if you can't reach an agreement... you can still take action.

Thinking of this, Li Qi has made a decision in his heart.

But Li Qi did not agree directly, but shook his head: "I can find other fortune tellers to do it, and I don't need you."

"If you don't want to use the blood stain technique to cut off the cause and effect connection, you can only ask a fortune teller above the seventh rank. Brother, although you have a high status, it is not easy to ask such a fortune teller, right?" The blind old woman spoke very clearly.

"...It seems that you know a lot, but I don't trust you for what you did before." Li Qi sighed.

"It doesn't matter, then why don't I trust you first? Brother, go get the knife, I will remove the cause and effect clues on the Tang knife first to prevent others from finding it through divination. After that, brother, listen to me tell you about the weirdness my son encountered, how about it?" The old woman was still calm.

"Okay." It has to be said that Li Qi felt that what the other party said made sense.

In this case, it's better to give it a try.

Let's see what we encounter first.

If it doesn't work, run away.

Since it's settled, Li Qi simply turned around: "In that case, I won't take advantage of you, old man. You might as well tell me what you want me to solve."

The blind old woman bowed quickly: "Thank you, senior brother."

Then, she grabbed the bewildered rich man beside her and bowed to Li Qi together.

"Don't rush to salute, tell me what it is first." Li Qi said.

"Senior brother, don't you need me to solve the cause and effect of the knife first?" The old woman asked.

"No need, both of us should show some sincerity, it's more convenient to talk." Li Qi shook his head and said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." The blind old woman nodded and began to tell the story: "The story started half a year ago."

Li Qi listened carefully to see what was going on.

The story started half a year ago, but in the beginning, it had to start thirty years ago.

This rich man, surnamed Wang, was originally a landlord around Yi County.

The Wang family was not a big landlord. They only had more than 100 mu of land. They cultivated part of it themselves and hired tenants to cultivate part of it. They lived a rich life. They could have several hundred dan of grain every year. They ate it themselves, and with the money they sold, they could earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.

This family made about the same amount of money as the entire Paibo Gang in a year, which showed how wealthy they were. The Paibo Gang had about 200 people.

However, 70,000 to 80,000 yuan was definitely not enough to buy such a big house.

To buy this three-story house now, at least 300 to 400,000 gold coins, or about 400,000 coins, are needed.

This is just to buy it, not to mention adding furniture, decoration, and servants.

The Wang family really became prosperous when the daughter of the Wang family was spotted by a fortune teller and taken to Wushen Mountain.

However, after all, practitioners rely on their talents. In the end, she practiced for decades and still failed to enter the rank, so she could only pack up and go home.

When she said this, the blind old woman looked at Li Qi with envy.

Li Qi noticed the gaze and was a little confused.

Is my talent... a little too good?

If there is no accident, it seems that I can pray for people to enter the rank within a year, and I have hardly felt the bottleneck.

According to the book "Wish", people with poor talents and insensitive to gods and qi are easy to be sacrificed again and again without getting a response.

But it seems that there is no time when I don't get a response. Even if I modify some ritual contents without authorization, the gods will most likely respond to me.

I used to think that I had good talent, but after listening to what this blind old woman said, my talent seemed... a little outrageous.

However, Li Qi did not show it, but kept the doubt in his heart and continued to listen to the story.

Although the daughter of the Wang family was not of good rank and went home, she did learn some magic. After returning home, she used the fortune-telling method of the fortune teller to seek wealth for her family.

Sure enough, the Wang family had good fortune and soon became rich.
