Li Fan quickly checked the dead people on the boat. These people were killed by a magic weapon similar to a steel needle that penetrated the heart veins at the top of their skulls. They were all killed in one blow and silenced. The flying boat was also tampered with. It would soon deviate from the route and crash.

So Li Fan soon stayed, sent the Mingguang talisman to leave a signal, and sent a talisman to report the news to Nanzhen, not far away. He picked up the basket and fled south immediately with Li Tangyuan.

Li Fan felt something was wrong.

At first glance, it seemed as if Nangong Wushuang and Yuanying who attacked Feizhou were working together, one to contain the other and arrest the other, and they came here to target Li Tangyuan, but this didn't make sense.

First is the problem of Li Tangyuan,

If the other party has been tracking Li Tangyuan's whereabouts and can even ask Nangong Wushuang to take action directly, why not intercept him directly at Taohua Mountain? It would be much easier with Nangong's army to encircle and suppress him, right?

Even if you don't deal with him on the Nangong family's territory, there were many opportunities in the past two days when Li Tangyuan was not in Li Fan's sight and he could sneak away from Lou Guan Road, right?

And if they really came for Li Tangyuan, why don't they just pick up the basket and leave? Why is there any need to do this extra step? After attacking the flying boat, we have to kill innocent people and eradicate them alive, and fake it to cause a crash?

Therefore, Li Fan felt that this was more like an accident than a carefully planned trap.

Yes, it was accidental. Because it was accidental, the other party had to sort out the beginning and the end subconsciously.

And this accident was caused by Li Qingyue.

After all, with the current turmoil in Liqiu Palace and the impending collapse of the king, the moment the name 'Li Qingyue' appears on the ultimatum of Lou Guandao in Nanzhen, it will inevitably attract the attention of a large number of people.

Wei Hu could have a lot of thoughts to persuade him to join, and Wang Lang could rush to him and ask him what he thought. Naturally, there were a lot of eyes in the shadow, staring at Li Fan from behind, and even falling on his person.

It's on a girl whose eyebrows are somewhat similar.

So could it be that by chance, someone saw some kind of 'opportunity'?

Finally, there is the problem of Nangong Wushuang.

Seriously, what's wrong with Nangong Wushuang? Of course, Li Fan is not belittling his talent, which is an irrefutable fact, but people can be talented at least not stupid, but what about Nangong Wushuang's performance?

Dressed up in a flashy and domineering manner, he looked like a vindictive rooster at first glance. He made no attempt to 'contain' or 'communicate' at all. He didn't even mention legitimate requests such as "bring my girl back" throughout the whole process. He just came up directly.

One sentence, "Marquis Guannei! I'm going to beat you up!"... Are you a bad high school student somewhere...

Therefore, Li Fan subconsciously suspected that Nangong Wushuang might be true and did not know that Li Fan had kidnapped anyone from the Nangong family.

Of course, this is probably not the first time that the Nangong family has been used as a weapon.

In fact, Li Fan now very much doubts that the meaning of the Nangong family's existence is to be used as a weapon.

If there is anything more useful than a brainless person who does all kinds of evil, it can only be a family of idiots who do all kinds of evil, right?

After all, it is understandable that Mo Zhushan wants to sign a no-fight agreement with the Nangong family to avoid a multi-front war, but why should the Nangong family agree? Why let go of this great opportunity to attack Mo Zhushan? That whole family is mentally retarded

, do you really have the same forbearance and overall perspective as Mo Zhushan?

We passed by the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain and saw that Nangong at the bottom was bent on walking alone. He sharpened his sword and wanted to attack the city with a mere golden elixir! But the staff generals on the upper level were very restrained. Wei Hu was so pressing that he just gave in.

, has no intention of breaking up with Mo Zhushan.

Therefore, Li Fan speculated that there must be some people among the Nangong family's allies or backers who do not want to start a direct war with Mo Zhushan now.

Is it Hengshan? Or a divine religion?

Li Fan was not sure, but the reality was that under their pressure, the Nangong family really stopped fighting.

Therefore, this group of people must have a reason to maintain the "no war". Li Fan does not need to know what the reason is, but he also knows that the enemies of this group of people must have a reason to destroy the "no war".

Xuantian, "So what do you think happened?"

Li Fan thought about it and said, "Nangong Wushuang didn't leave the camp recently. Someone arranged for him to block me a long time ago.

Well, I think their target is 'Li Qingyue'. Most likely, they want to prevent 'Li Qingyue' from interfering with the change of Li Guo's leadership. But 'Li Qingyue' is a disciple of Mozhushan and a disciple of Xuanmen, so ordinary people cannot take action.

.

But because of the relationship between 'Li Yi' and Prince Guangling, and because of the enmity between Prince Guangling and Nangong Wushuang, Nangong Wushuang has the qualifications to personally deal with 'Li Qingyue'.

Maybe someone wants to fish in troubled waters and kill 'Li Qingyue' in the chaos, sparking a fight between the Nangong family and Mo Zhushan. It's also possible that Nangong Wushuang will actually make three moves to save 'Li Qingyue''s life and avoid disputes between the two families.

In short, even if someone really died, it was 'Li Qingyue' seeking revenge on Nangong Wushuang. His skills were inferior to others, he did not know his own abilities, and it had nothing to do with his sect.

But the other party didn't expect that 'Li Qingyue' didn't come back with Yao Supervisor's silk boat, and she also carried one more person on her back.

Tangyuan's identity should not be part of the other party's calculations, so they decided to rob someone just in case, or on a temporary basis. To find out, they naturally had to clean up the whole thing and kill everyone on the flying boat.

but……"

Xuantian, "But Nangong Wushuang lost."

Yes, Nangong Wushuang lost, and that’s the end of it.

In the final analysis, this world still respects the strong, and there are a lot of calculations, and it's useless if you can't win.

Probably, even if Li Fan really beat Nangong Wushuang to death on the spot, he could also play the trick of "Li Yi avenges his father". After all, blood revenge in this world belongs to human justice, which is very consistent with the world's three views, and may not necessarily be the case.

As a result, the no-war agreement between Nangong and Mozhushan families broke down. Maybe it could be spread all over the world and become famous all over the world.

But Li Fan didn't want to avenge the Guangling Crown Prince.

That's not a good thing either.

In short, this disaster is over, temporarily.

But considering that as soon as he left the country, there would be such a murderous plot waiting in front of him, Li Fan was also upset for a while.

He simply didn't go to Changsi City, lest some smart guys set a trap for him and cause trouble to the division by killing people, so he simply took a detour. Anyway, he wouldn't get lost in Liguo territory. After all,

All we have to do is follow the grain teams transporting baggage, find the Li River, and then fly westward until we reach Lou Guan Pagoda.

Li Fan had no intuitive concept of Li Guo's wealth before, but when he passed by the clouds in the sky and looked at the endless and busy business roads on the ground, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Population, population is too much.

On the way to the south, there are villages and towns everywhere. Between the adjacent fields, there are cattle and sheep everywhere. Farmers, caravans and refugees are everywhere. You can see people wherever you fly. The smoke from the cooking stoves is thin. Looking down from a high place,

Just like an ant colony.

This is actually nothing abnormal, because although Li Guo is fine, the world has long been in chaos. Thousands of refugees from Kun and Xun countries, composed of thousands of refugees, have finally conveyed the voice of the troubled world through the turbulent waves.

When they arrived in southern Xinjiang and left the country, there was an endless stream of people pouring into the border areas.

Of course, the Taiwei Wang E did not allow these refugees to stay in Nanzhen and disrupt the military planes, and the Liguo family could not afford so many slaves, so the destination of these people was actually the same as Li Fan, Mozhu Mountain.

When there are too many people, there will be chaos. Li Fan followed the large group of refugees for a while and found that... the situation is actually not bad?

After all, refugee groups that can make it all the way out of the country have generally formed a non-governmental organization that sticks together, with a refugee commander as the leader to deal with the government. It is unlikely that there will be conflicts with the local residents.

There are endless bastards in the Li Kingdom court, but it cannot be denied that there are also some advantages, because this is the forefront of the Immortal Palace's southward reclamation, and there has always been a policy of attracting refugees to open up new lands, so there will be no expulsions.

Things like fighting against refugees.

Moreover, after actually seeing Li Guo with their own eyes, people in the Central Plains could intuitively see the difference between the ‘Southern Barbarians’ and the Central Plains.

There are many boats.

On the waterways of rivers and waterways, there are dense fleets of ships going back and forth. From time to time, mechanical airships fly by in the air. There are ships everywhere!

Ahem, after all, there is not much livestock power in southern Xinjiang, and cattle and horses are valuable resources for farming and warfare, so Li Guo usually uses various mechanical boats and vehicles improved by Tiangong Peak...

Of course, there is another reason. These ships are transporting food to the large army in Bianzhou.

A conservative estimate is that 200,000 soldiers and horses will eat 150,000 shi of rice and 200,000 shi of beans a month. This does not include meat and game, as well as the loss of bows, horses, armor, flags, flags, and various materials for the fort. In addition to spells, spells, and magic

Utensils and other items were transported by flying boat, and other supplies, food and wages had to be transported by the imperial court.

Considering that Wang E's army had been out for several years and almost killed Li You, this huge financial burden would probably be unsustainable for any vassal state.

But I got support from Liguo, and there seemed to be no problem.

Li Fan saw the thousand-stone large-cabin ship on the Li River, which was reinforced with magic spells, driven by mechanisms, and loaded and unloaded by wooden hands. It seemed like a long train, going back and forth on the river, and driving into the newly dug canal, transporting the entire country.

Grain was continuously transported to Bianzhou, and then loaded on mechanical vehicles such as wooden oxen and flowing horses. There was an endless stream of food, and it was transported to the Nanzhen camp day and night.

Li Fan also specifically asked the boatman and said that this is called "Jingbian Gang", that is, a fleet of thirty ships is called a gang to support the army in Jingbian. Tiangong Peak of Mozhu Mountain assisted in supervising the twenty gangs.

The new thousand-stone ship can travel between the north and the south day and night to transport military supplies. The monthly transport capacity can be 2.4 million stone, which is actually far more than the current needs of the 200,000-stone army in Nanzhen.

But there was nothing we could do about it. After all, the original plan was a seven-way crusade, and a considerable part of the supplies for the Immortal Palace army had to be transported by Li Guo. Therefore, in order to handle the 'Jingbian Gang' matter, Mozhushan exempted Li Guo.

After years of worship, and incidentally using part of the income to subsidize the court, coupled with the tribute donations from powerful families and the allocation of military expenditures from the treasury, shipbuilding and river opening, we finally maintained this supply line that runs through the Li River basin and reaches Bianzhou.

In the end, who knew that Kun Country could actually lose this battle...

In short, the situation in the north is getting worse now. The Nangong family and Mo Zhushan have begun to confront each other again, so the 'Jingbian Gang' has maintained combat readiness for almost five years. The military arsenal has piled up like a mountain. The army has built four new warehouses to store military supplies.

Moreover, Lieutenant Wang was also arranging rotational training for the various armies, and training and farming. He had already collected military camps several times, and he planned to retire here.

It was naturally not cost-effective to transport a warehouse full of things back by empty boat, so a considerable number of refugees took the boat directly to the southern border of Mozhu Mountain for resettlement.

There are old grains in stock that you can eat, and there are boats you can ride on. For a period of time, you can even work for relief, helping Nanzhen dig trenches and build city walls, and earn a little money. The refugees in the Central Plains said they were greatly shocked by Li Guo's national power.

.Everything is quite stable. There are no idiots who dare to gather a crowd to fight for food with an army of 200,000.

It stands to reason that such a large-scale supply must be used to enrich one's own pockets. Li Fan randomly sneaked in to check, but he did not see any major quality problems with the military supplies. On the contrary... it seemed a bit too good...

Well, mainly in terms of armaments, there are a lot of armors. There are a lot of them. It can be seen that they are mass-produced armor pieces. The quality is not as good as that of Immortal Palace. But armor is armor after all. Thousands of armors are transported for each class, and the armor is worn out.

It's not that powerful, so this armor coverage rate is a bit exaggerated...

There are also crossbows, all kinds of crossbows, big and small, and bundles of arrows. Well, Li Fan remembers that he was also the one who defeated the Immortal Party with a crossbow. He was very happy to see Wang Taiwei in this regard.
To be continued...
