Myriad Paths

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 for your name. Do you dare to ask for 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 stood up immediately 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, as soon as 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 too much, not too little. It is definitely enough for daily running water, but if you really want to take it out all at once, then each family will basically 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 become sworn brothers. What's the reason? Besides, Brother Li works for hundreds of thousands of people. , How can I just sit idly by and ignore him? 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 actually came from 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 slowly evacuate to save people. As for you wanting to slowly send food there, that is even more impossible." Wang Baiyan said.

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

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

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

Li Qi looked gloomy and spat out two words: "Blood... sacrifice?"

"Yes, the Grand Administrator of Guangyang is a powerful seventh-level wizard. He naturally knows the method of blood sacrifice. So, do you understand? Why do you keep running into obstacles? Brother Li, you are also a smart and astute person. Think about it again, if it is In this case, is it possible for you to go to the Zhang family in Guangyang and ask him to sell grain to you? "

"What he wants is for all the people near Zhenguan to be annihilated. What he wants is for them all to die, otherwise the formation will not be able to be deployed."

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

After Li Qi took a deep breath, he said slowly: "The Zhang family is from Guangyang Situ. He will never sell grain to me, and I will also alert others. Just like now, if Brother Wang, you are also from Guangyang Situ If so, then my whereabouts should have been exposed to Guangyang Situ long ago. When he learned that I was still working on this matter, he might 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 deeply hate their actions, the person behind the entire Grain Alliance is Lord Situ. He is the eighth grade, and he can also mobilize As an eighth-grade digital figure, Brother Li should know the despair of facing an eighth-grade digital figure, right?" Wang Baiyan slapped a fan and said to Li Qi.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for the suggestion, but you didn't just tell me that I can't do something, right?" Li Qi asked.

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

This person definitely had his own agenda, and just telling him the inside story already made Li Qi feel that something was wrong.

Seeing Li Qi's eyes staring at him, Wang Baiyan put away the folding fan and said seriously: "Of course not. If we just ask Brother Li to retreat, let alone Brother Li, even I won't be willing to do so."

"Originally, I was also worried and didn't know how to plan to solve this matter. Now that I heard that Brother Li has the same ambition as me, I immediately thought, why can't the two of us go to other regions to get food ourselves?"

"The two of us go to a small world outside the territory to produce food to save people. Can't we bypass them? In this way, the Jinlang Sect can also gain the same status as the Zhang family. Brother Li, you can too Getting the food you want and saving so many lives is killing two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”

When Wang Baiyan said these words, he looked at Li Qi expectantly, hoping to get his reaction.

Li Qi, on the other hand, was stunned.

He felt like he had been stunned more times today than in most of the previous half year.

"Brother Wang, do you think this is too simple? How can it be so simple to find a small world outside the territory?" Li Qi shook his head and said.

There are many worlds outside the territory, but going to the outside world is not something that just a ninth-level person can do.

"If I wasn't sure, how could I say this to Brother Li? I happen to have a clue to an extraterrestrial world in my hand, but I just don't have a master to help subdue the way of heaven in that small world. Can Brother Li—?" Wang Baiyan said.

When Li Qi heard this, he murmured in his heart.

Is there such a coincidence?

What about the liar?

Just the fact that this person is the sect leader of Jinlang Sect is already nonsense. It can be said that he and his own interests are consistent, but now, Wang Baiyan says that he has an entrance to an extraterrestrial world?

Are you kidding me?

A mere ninth-grade person, qualified to intervene outside the territory?

"Don't you believe it when you see Brother Li like this? Then take a look at this." Wang Baiyan said, taking out a jade pendant in his hand.

On the jade pendant, there are two words "Baixuan" printed on it.

Just taking a look at this jade pendant, Li Qi suddenly felt a strange energy coming towards him.

He thought about it for a while and realized that this energy did not hurt his ability, so he opened up the small world of his body and accepted this breath of energy.

Then he understood.

This breath of Qi is called Shujuan Qi, and it is a kind of Qi that can carry divine will and information.

As soon as this bookish energy 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 a 'chance' left by a senior. He reached the seventh level and was about to leave the Baiyue realm. He decided to give the cave where he lived, as well as unwanted furniture, magic weapons, etc. to future generations, so he spread the keys. Go out and those who are destined will get it.

And in the cave, there is a small, unremarkable, extraterrestrial world.

This world is not good enough to support the existence of any cultivators, nor can it support the development of technology. It is almost entirely made up of mortals, with only sporadic people who are not good enough to exist.

This small world produces almost no gas and no supplies. It is just a potted plant for the seventh-grade boss.

Put a small world at home for viewing purposes.

However, there is no doubt that there is food there, and the food can be eaten.

"I had been planning to go inside for a long time, but although the Heavenly Dao in that world was only at the ninth level, the resistance was extremely fierce. I couldn't take it down by myself, and I didn't want to tell the rest of the Food Alliance about this thing, so I kept looking for helpers until I met When I got to Brother Li, I made up my mind to tell Brother Li." Wang Baiyan said.

"Why me?" Li Qi asked.

"I have heard about Brother Li's name for a long time. Li Qi, a wizard, came from the south. He performed righteous deeds and did good deeds all the way, and his reputation spread far and wide. Now he is even trying his best to support the uncared people without asking for anything in return. Such a temperament , To be honest, I can trust you."

"When working with Brother Li, as long as you have an agreement in advance, you will definitely not break your promise. But if you cooperate with the gang of jackals and tigers in the Grain Alliance, you have to be careful about being stabbed in the back and wiped clean."

"This is what a gentleman can bully. Only a gentleman like Brother Li can I dare to take out this kind of thing without worrying about being plotted against." Wang Baiyan looked at Li Qi with a smile.

When he said this, Li Qi suddenly realized.

Last night at Tianning Temple, this person talked to me. Did he already recognize him at that time?

In this way, it barely makes sense, but... it's still a bit too coincidental.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Li Qi was suspicious, but he was not sure.

After all, it could indeed be a coincidence.

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Qi finally made an answer: "It's always a bad idea to do these things privately. I'd better go to the Zhang family first. If the Zhang family doesn't agree, then I will go with Brother Wang to have a try." Extraterritorial.”

"Okay, I'll be here these days. Brother Li can come at any time and we can leave at any time." Wang Baiyan stood up and said to Li Qi.

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

Try both sides. If the Zhang family is willing to sell, that is naturally the best. If not, then come back.

Wang Baiyan was behind, watching Li Qi go away.

Di Dan came over tremblingly, knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said: "Master... why do we have to..."

"Call me Sect Master." Wang Baiyan changed from a smiling expression to a cold face.

"Yes, sect master, what about the former sect master?" Didan asked tentatively.

"Let him get away as far as he wants, and he is not allowed to come back within a month." Wang Baiyan said calmly.

"Understood!" Di Dan immediately stood up and ran towards the distance.

Here the manor returned to silence again, leaving only Wang Baiyan slowly sitting on the tea stove and starting to make tea.
