Chapter 67

After running around for several days, nothing happened but the dust.

"Shang County is ahead. We can have a good rest tonight."

In the dim sky, the outline of a city appeared in the setting sun, and Li Yi said energetically.

Wang Qi also cheered up slightly. The bumpy ride on horseback was really tiring. In addition, sleeping in the open air and seeing a populated place meant that he could sleep on a bed and drink.

"Everyone, listen to the order! Advance at full speed!"

Li Yi didn't care about the tired horse. He clamped his legs on the horse's belly and put the whip on the horse's butt, forcing the horse to speed up.

"I remember that there is a pond at the gate of Shang County. Due to the drought for several days, the horses did not get good water. Tonight, we can let the horses drink enough water." Li Er, who rarely spoke, said.

Three hundred Qingqi marched towards Shang County like a gust of wind.

It was just getting dark when Wang Qi and others arrived at Shang County.

Just when Wang Qi and others were about to take the horses over to drink water, several people came out from the side: "You are not allowed to come near here! The county master has given an order, you are not allowed to come near here!"

Wang Qi and others were stunned for a moment, and then looked strange.

Li Yi snorted coldly, and a spiritual light illuminated the surroundings: "Look carefully, tell me why you are not allowed to come close?"

The people guarding the pond looked at the cold armor behind Li Yi. They swallowed and hurriedly saluted: "Master, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

Li Yi put away his spiritual power and asked coldly: "Tell me, why are you not allowed close? My more than three hundred horses don't drink water?"

The guard hurriedly asked his companions to inform the county magistrate and then explain.

"You mean, there's something weird about this pond? You can't even find the bottom with several bamboo poles?" Wang Qi frowned slightly.

"Yes, yes." The guard nodded his head like a pound of garlic.

Wang Qi dismounted and walked towards the pond.

"Master Jun!" The guard turned pale and wanted to stop him, but was stopped.

The three brothers, Li Yi and Wang Qi, walked towards the pond.

"I want to see if there's anything weird about it!" Li Yi snorted coldly.

Wang Qi stood on the shore, and a prompt sounded in his ears.

[Trigger the main quest copy: Yugui.]

[After completing the copy, you can get corresponding rewards.]

"This is the main quest dungeon?" Wang Qi was slightly startled, what is this? How come he always encounters dungeons everywhere he goes? Good luck?

"Fellow Taoist, I see that there is nothing wrong with this water." Li Yi said in a deep voice. He was also a Qi practitioner and immediately used his spiritual sense to explore the pond.

The entire pond was calm and there was nothing unusual about it.

Wang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's a bit weird, but if you drink the horse, it won't hinder you."

If something really happened, it should have been done when the county magistrate was present. Thinking about it, this dungeon shouldn't be difficult, and it doesn't even have a recommended level.

"Is it really weird?" Li Yi's face looked slightly solemn.

"Well, it doesn't stop the horse from drinking." Wang Qi turned around and pulled the horse. The horse came closer with some resistance, but still could not resist the thirst, and lowered his head to drink. The drought in the past few days had really made these horses thirsty.

Soon, Wang Qi finished drinking the horse, and indeed nothing happened.

Seeing this, Li Yi made a gesture, and the cavalrymen led their horses over to drink water.

A team of torches hurried over, and the magistrate of Shang County walked in and said, "May I ask, which army is coming?"

"I'm from Zhan County and want to go to Liang County." Li Yi replied.

The county magistrate stepped forward and looked at Li Yi, who was wearing an ordinary cloth, and then at Wang Qi, who looked extraordinary in a black shirt. It seemed a little difficult to tell who was the commander of this army.

"Don't look at it, I'm responsible." Li Yi said calmly.

"Oh, I have met this gentleman." The county magistrate said hello hurriedly.

"I, the three hundred people, are going to stay in Shang County tonight, and we will solve the problem of this reservoir. Please arrange a place to stay," Li Yi said.

In the Qin Dynasty, the rank of local officials was not comparable to that of military officers who held real power, let alone Qi Practitioners, and even rare sword cultivators among Qi Practitioners.

After hearing this, the county magistrate turned around and gave a few instructions, and then said: "Everyone, please come with me. I have found a place to stay."

There are not many places in Shang County that can house three hundred cavalrymen at one time, but there is a Chenghuang Temple in the county, which is just right for them.

The county magistrate looked at the cavalry in the Chenghuang Temple and the Chenghuang Temple courtyard with some restraint, and said cautiously: "Everyone, this is the only place in the county that can accommodate so many people at once -"

"It doesn't matter, fellow Daoist Wang, how are you used to living here?" Li Yi looked at Wang Qi. In the army, he had experienced more difficult situations. If he had a piece of tile, it would be good. But Wang Qi, who was born in Huanfang,

I don't know if a top sect like the sword field can bear this kind of hardship.

Wang Qihun shook his head indifferently: "It's okay."

Seeing this, the county magistrate felt relieved. He was still counting on these three hundred cavalry to level the pond at the gate of the city.

"If you have any requests, you can directly ask the person at the door. I will leave someone there to wait at any time." The county magistrate said with a sigh of relief.

"Tell them to go back, we can solve the problem ourselves." Li Yi waved his hand.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and left.

"Go to bed early. We don't have to worry about the pond tonight." Wang Qi stretched his waist and said casually.

"How about leaving one of the second or third sons behind? Aren't fellow Taoists in a hurry to go to Dingjing?" Li Yi said after hesitating for a moment.

"There's no rush at this moment." Wang Qi smiled slightly.

Now that the sect has known about his news, Lin Zhenqing and others will definitely wait for him to meet up in Dingjing. There may even be great monks in the sect who are coming here to protect him.

It doesn't matter if we go to Dingjing a few days later.

Seeing what Wang Qi said, Li Yi stopped trying to persuade him. After setting up sentries, the three hundred cavalry began to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Qi was awakened by the sound of the cavalry getting up early to practice. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the cavalry practicing in the open space inside and outside the Chenghuang Temple, and yawned.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, did you sleep well last night?" Li Yi, who was supervising the training, asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Wang Qi nodded slightly.

Li Yi considered his tone and said, "Fellow Taoist Wang, I have a heartfelt request. Can you please ask me?"

"But it doesn't matter." Wang Qi nodded.

"The three of us brothers are good at fighting in front of the battle, but these strange things are far inferior to fellow Taoists. I wonder if we can ask fellow Taoists to help us with this Shang County reservoir?" Li Yi asked, last night,

I didn't notice anything strange about the pond.

"Of course there is no problem." Wang Qi nodded with a smile. He was previously afraid that his rash intervention would make Li Yi and others feel resentful. But he would not give up this main quest dungeon willingly in any case, unless it really happened.

The strength is limited.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"If you want to solve the problem of the pond, you still have to start from the local county annals and understand the history. But according to what we learned last night, this situation has not happened in Shang County before. Then, we can reduce the search scope and start with the most recent

Let’s start with what happened.” Wang Qi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said slowly.

Li Yi nodded, he thought so too.

"By the way, has the magistrate of Shang County sent anyone here today?" Wang Qi asked.

Li Yi realized that if he wanted to understand the recent events, it would be easier if the local county magistrate took action.

So he said: "I'll ask someone to invite you."

After that, Li Yi called a cavalryman and sent him to invite the magistrate of Shang County.

Not long after, the cavalry returned with the magistrate of Shang County.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that you want to know what happened in recent days? Yes, please send another military master to the Yamen with my badge. Naturally, someone will investigate and give you an answer." The county magistrate.

Take off the waistband that symbolizes your identity.

Li Yi nodded slightly, took his waist badge and told a cavalryman a few words, and the cavalryman went to the Yamen.

"Let's go to the pond and have a look." Wang Qi suggested.

The county official said: "I will go too, this immortal master."

Wang Qi nodded slightly. The person who was watching last night said that the county magistrate even wanted to go into the water himself after hearing that the people who retrieved the body had no results. Wang Qi still admired this kind of official. At that time, he did not refuse the county magistrate.

The official's request.

Leaving the cavalry behind at the City God's Temple, Wang Qi, the three brothers surnamed Li, and the county magistrate headed towards the pond at the gate of the city.

As they walked on the road, the people of Shang County looked at the group of people curiously.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Some people bravely asked the county magistrate.

"These three are our Qin Army Qi Practitioners, and this one is the Immortal Sect Qi Practitioner. It just so happened that the matter at the pond was settled," the county magistrate said with a smile.

Last night, many people in the county heard the news of a large group of people entering the county town. It was just late at night, and the pond was so frightening that no one dared to come out to check.

After hearing the introduction from the county magistrate, the people cheered up and followed Wang Qi and his party, wanting to see what was going on in the pond.
