Chapter 106

"My lord, please look, this river is called Jingxiang River. The widest part of the river is 500 meters, and the narrowest part of the upper reaches is 50 meters. After crossing the Jingxiang River and going forward for 300 miles, you will find Feiyang Mansion, where we have the most beautiful river in China. A majestic city at the southern end." Uncle Zhuge Feng pointed to the shimmering Jingxiang River in front of him, and explained in detail.

Over the past few days, Li Tiancai not only found out the situation around the village from the sentry cavalry, but also got a general understanding of the basic situation of the world from Uncle Zhuge Feng, a wise man.

This continent is called the Dongsheng Continent, and there are seven main forces, Huaxia, Xionglu, Gaoli, Yuelan, Xijue, Qidan, and Menggu, which are somewhat similar to the Warring States Period in Chinese history.

Dongsheng Continent has a vast land and few people, and humans live mainly in groups of tribes.There are still many wild lands occupied by ferocious beasts on the mainland, and there are countless dangerous places. These are forbidden areas for human activities.

Among them, Huaxia occupies the center of the mainland, also known as the country of the Central Plains, with a vast territory and a large population, and has the strongest comprehensive strength among the seven major forces.

There are seven princes in Huaxia Kingdom, each occupying a state capital.The central hinterland is the Central Plains Mansion, which is the essence of the entire China.

On the surface, Ji Kangming, the king of the Central Plains, is the co-lord of all the kings of China, and has the authority to command the world.

The remaining six feudal state capitals are each facing the covetous foreign forces. These six feudal state capitals are the barriers for the Huaxia Kingdom to resist foreign invasion.

What frightened Li Tiancai was that his village was isolated from Huaxia's sphere of influence by the natural danger Jingxiangjiang, and stood right in front of Yuelan's plundering road. It was simply 24K pure gold cannon fodder.

Although there were not many wars between Huaxia and Yuelan, Yuelan, who was very aggressive, would come out almost every year or two to fight the autumn wind, harass the border, and plunder property and people.

In history, Yue Lan even took advantage of China's disasters and man-made disasters to go north by boat, harassing and plundering China's hinterland.

Looking at the four lairs around the village, one for bandits and one for horses, Li Tiancai felt even more anxious and restless.

Li Tian looked at the broad river, and saw several fishing boats in the rippling waves, fishing with loose nets, and the cross-strait traffic was greeted by several ferry boats upstream.

After contemplating for a long time, Li Tiancai turned to Situ Lan and said, "If our Donggen Village wants to grow stronger and have long-term peace and stability, we must strengthen our connection with China to the north of the Jingxiang River. This river is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle. Our top priority is to A bridge needs to be built!"

Situ Lan nodded and said: "What the village head said is very true. Our Donggen Village's geographical location is both superior and very dangerous. It is indeed very necessary to strengthen business and trade with the powerful Feiyang Mansion, communicate with each other, and maintain a good relationship."

Li Tiantian said: "Well, since that's the case, after you go back, discuss with Shang Bo of the Ministry of Industry to see if we have the ability to build a stone arch bridge across the two banks."

Speaking of this, Li Tiantian couldn't help but think of the most famous Zhaozhou Bridge in China, which is a great miracle in the history of world architecture, and he doesn't know if the masons in his village have this ability now.

Situ Lan arched his hands together and said, "This subordinate understands!"

Li Tiancai got on his horse, grabbed the reins, kicked the horse's stomach, and said, "Come with me, let's go to Fuhu Village today!"

Fuhu Village is located 40 miles west of Donggen Village, only a few feet away from the steep Lishu Mountain.

After about an hour of ups and downs, Li Tiantian and his party finally came to a mountain depression near Fuhuzhuang.Looking down, a huge village is in sight.

I saw that Fuhu Village is located on a flat land, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a solid stone wall around the village residential area.There are dozens of scattered fields around the village, and many villagers are farming among them at this time.

"My lord, this is Fuhu Village. The whole village has a population of more than a thousand people, and they live by hunting and farming! This Fuhu Village is one of the largest villages within a hundred miles. The folk customs are very tough, and even the murderous Lishu bandits are very afraid of it." "Uncle Zhuge Feng has a lot of travel experience, and he is very familiar with the situation of the world and the customs of various places.

"If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firmly!" Li Tiancai nodded. In this world of fighting against the sky, the earth, and people, the weak prey on the strong and the fittest survive, without the slightest pity or sympathy.

When Li Tiantian and others stopped and watched on the hillside, the villagers working in the field also saw their group.

An old woman put down the agricultural tools in her hand, pulled her wife, and said, "Old man, look at the people there, why do I feel something is wrong? Could it be that gang of goddamn bandits who want to rob them again?"

The old man tightened his body, followed the direction the old woman was pointing at, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he said, "Old woman, tell everyone to go back to the village first, if you don't have to worry about ten thousand, just in case! I have to report back first!"

Hearing this, the old woman became even more frightened, and immediately opened her voice and shouted: "Da Hua, Er Hua, Third Aunt..."

"Hey, what's going on here?" Li Tiancai was very puzzled when he saw dozens of villagers carrying farm tools and rushing towards the village.

"Hey, my lord, they must have seen us and thought we were bandits leading the charge!" Uncle Zhuge Feng quickly understood the trick and explained with a smile.

"Ah? My brother is so handsome, how do you look like a bandit? We are not devils, okay!" Li Tiantian patted his head, feeling helpless, and was planning to go down the mountain for a field trip and chat with these indigenous residents , I didn't expect that just standing here would scare people away.

"My lord, look quickly, there's something wrong there!" Situ Lan nervously pointed to the distance.

"Wow! Why is this script played backwards?" Li Tian looked at it, and was surprised to find a dozen wild beasts chasing a group of young men dressed as hunters.

The group of young men looked very embarrassed, not to mention their tattered clothes, almost all of them were injured, and a few of them were carried on their backs, obviously the injuries were serious.

"Aww", I don't know what stimulated this group of beasts, and they all rushed towards the crowd desperately, completely ignoring the threat of steel forks and hunting bows.

"Ah", just as a strong man plunged a steel fork into the neck of a gray wolf, his throat was bitten off by a leopard that pounced on him. He only had time to scream, blood stained the ground, and fell to the ground.

What is strange is that the leopard and the beast behind completely ignored the corpses that fell on the ground, and did not go to have a full meal, but still rushed forward one after another.

"Take it here and don't move, I'll save people!" After Li Tiantian ordered, he kicked the horse's stomach and rode the horse down the hillside.

It stands to reason that the horse should not be allowed to run when going downhill, because the front legs of the horse are not as powerful as the rear legs. Doing so is very dangerous and will easily cause "the horse stumbles".

But saving people is like putting out a fire, and Li Tiancai couldn't care less about the critical situation. While controlling the horse with his feet, he bent his bow and shot at the bloodthirsty leopard.
