Chapter 251 Li Guanyi and the Whale Fisherman
The fisherman seemed quite generous, and Li Guanyi did not sense any malice in him.

So he bowed and said with a carefree smile:

"Since you have invited me, I will not refuse."

Qilin sat firmly beside him.

Li Guanyi took a fishing rod and sat next to the fisherman. The latter grinned and thought to himself, you kid really dare to sit down.

Li Guan cast his rod and said while fishing, "Senior, do you live here? The Gongsun family and the Xue family chamber of commerce are guiding the people around to take refuge. Have they not been able to come here to inform you yet?"

The fisherman said: "There is no limit to the world. I am just a passer-by. I regard this world as my home. Where can I go or come from?"

"Come to think of it, why did you suddenly send everyone around away? Did something happen?"

Li Guanyi said, "There is a murderer coming. If he goes crazy, he might implicate innocent people. So I hope the people can avoid this place for the time being and seek refuge somewhere else. Come back in two days."

"The Xue Family Chamber of Commerce and the Gongsun Family gave them some compensation."

He watched the ripples in the water; no fish took the bait.

Fishermen are born with a disdain for so-called aristocratic families. Li Guanyi's actions of dispersing innocent people made him feel a little bit good about him. Seeing a letter in the bag on Li Guanyi's waist, he shook his wrist and the fishing hook flew out to catch the letter.

The movement was so light and graceful that Li Guanyi and Qilin didn't notice it at all.

"But, my friend, you left something here."

The fisherman held the letter in his hand and said, "Don't forget it." He put the fishing rod aside and pretended to return it to Li Guanyi. However, when he handed it to the young man, he used his strong inner strength to shatter the outer seal of the letter.

Then the letter was exposed and fell to the ground. Li Guanyi looked at the martial arts and praised: "Excellent skills, senior!"

Then he picked up the letter, handed it over, and said casually: "However, there is nothing wrong with this letter. If you want to read it, please read it. There is no need to do such a thing."

"The inner strength is profound, it is really amazing!"

The frankness of the young man made the fisherman feel a little inferior. He just smiled and said, "Haha, my friend, don't blame me. I have a strange disease that makes me want to read letters. My hands are itching when I see them."

He picked up the letter casually. This was the intelligence system of Changfeng Tower. It described the overall changes in the situation in Jiangnan and came from the evaluations of the people in the eighteen states of Jiangnan. Many of them contained insults against the Qilin Army, but they all came from aristocratic families.

The fisherman saw the words: "The Qilin Army has implemented benevolent policies"

"He called upon the orphans, widows, the abandoned, the sick, the poor, and those who had no means to start their own business and lent them money."

"Houses were also built to accommodate the displaced, orphaned and young children who were displaced by the war."

'You can help the military households to farm and get paid'

"If anyone wishes to cultivate wasteland, he can lend them land, seeds, and food in advance, and return it next year."

'Qilin Army exempts land tax for one year'

"A noble family offered a thousand gold coins and a beautiful woman to build a palace for Qin Wuhou. After receiving the gift, the state chancellor Yan Daiqing used the thousand gold coins to buy food and gave it to the soldiers and civilians in each city."

This is Yan Daiqing's domestic style.

He was the kind of person who was considered stubborn even by his father. He scolded Pang Shuiyun, Yuan Zhi, and the executors for an hour and rejected the original assistance measure of "sheltering the people and providing them with food rations".

Instead, we help these people to farm the fields or engage in handicrafts.

Teach someone how to fish.

This is different from the original good deeds of officials from all over the country, which was to open warehouses to provide disaster relief.

At the beginning, they encountered a lot of criticism. There were also lazy people who would rather lie down and wait for disaster relief than to cultivate good farmland on their own. Some even cooked the seeds and breeding pigs distributed by the Qilin Army into meat porridge and exchanged half a pig for wine.

In this case, Yan Daiqing is no longer responsible.

But it was another young strategist from the academy.

When Li Guanyi was looking through the file at the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart -

Ding, you ate the seeds and breeding pigs sent down by the Qilin Army.

Sacrifice the other party Yan Daiqing.

Replace 'Devil' on the field.

Your current opponent is Xiao Zhi, a Confucian gentleman from the Gongyang lineage who never bears grudges. He appears with a small notebook.

In short, the policy is being implemented smoothly. As for the truly homeless people, places similar to dormitories have been built for them to live in and provide basic meals. Li Guanyi looked at the river and did not notice the slight pause in the fisherman next to him.

The young man suddenly laughed and said, "Ah!"

With a flick of his wrist, the fishing line tightened and straightened, and then with a simple pull, a fish was caught. Li Guan smiled and said, "The fish is hooked."

The fisherman remained silent and said indifferently:

"This Qilin Army is really strange."

"They actually took care of the beggars on the streets, gave them food and shelter, forced them to bathe every five days, and even forced them to cultivate the land and be self-sufficient."

"What good will it do him?"

Li Guan pulled the fish up.

The fish struggled very hard underwater, its tail slapping a large amount of water. The fisherman couldn't help but say, "Fishing requires skills. If you do this, you will use force and it will also use force, which will cause the fishing line to break. Then..."

Snapped!
Li Guanyi drew out his mysterious weapon [Lingyun Wood] and swung it horizontally.

The big fish rolled its eyes and was dragged up by Li Guanyi.

"Senior, what did you say?"

Fisherman: “…………”

He shook his head and said, "Nothing much. Your fishing is quite, quite unique."

Li Guanyi smiled carefreely and said, "It's just that I'm not good at martial arts and I don't have the means to excel in thunder. Otherwise, I would just fry the fish and fry a lot of them at once. As for what you said, senior..."

The boy put the fish in the barrel and said naturally, "Because it saves money."

The fisherman asked, "Save money?"

"Giving food and land to beggars and renting them farm tools is considered saving money?" He almost laughed at this and said calmly, "How can there be such a way to save money as you said?"

Li Guanyi threw down the second pole and said, "It's very simple. They have land. They need our help this year, but next year, they will have some surplus food. Then, they can exchange the food for money and build their own houses."

"You see, this way, they can live well."

"If we don't do this, we have to pay money every year. How can the Qilin Army afford it?"

The young general added:
"I heard that Li Guanyi is very poor. He will definitely not be able to bear it."

The fisherman lowered his eyes and said calmly: "In troubled times, wouldn't it be easier to just fill the river with dead beggars?"

Li Guanyi replied: "Beggars are not beggars from the beginning."

He frowned:
"Senior, you are too radical."

The fisherman who came from a beggar family was blocked.

He was a madman, he sneered a few times and said: "I am radical, good boy, you know how to talk, isn't that what many noble families say? There are many cases of beggars being beaten to death or trampled to death by horses; when the rich and powerful break the law, beggars are used to take the blame."

"The noble family violated the law and used beggars to behead and paste their faces, as if they had been punished."

Li Guanyi cursed: "Those noble families should be punished."

The whale fisherman was gagged again.

He looked at the boy suspiciously, wondering if he had guessed his identity. But when he looked closely, he saw that there was nothing strange about the boy, and his mood was calm. He was even a little excited.

This kid seems to have an instinct.

When you are with people, do you like to talk about policies verbally?

Li Guanyi said: "The rich are living in luxury, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. This is a broken world. If the world were peaceful, I would definitely not have taken this path. Perhaps, I would have retired long ago."

"However, if the world was peaceful, I might not have met Yaoguang."

Veins bulged on the whale fisherman's forehead.

The young man took off the wine flask from his waist, tilted his head back and took a sip, then said softly:

"If the world were peaceful, she wouldn't have to take risks with me."

"I'd rather we didn't know each other."

"She just lives the life she likes."

In this way, Yaoguang would not have to accompany him on adventures in different places. Over the past year, he had attended the Hunting Kirin Conference, traveled 20,000 miles, participated in the Jiangnan Pacification Campaign, and faced martial arts legends. The silver-haired girl had always been with him, and had faced crises countless times.

The whale fisherman's expression became much calmer. He said, "That's quite a bold statement. What kind of wine do you have?"

Li Guan shook it and said, "This is Monkey Wine from a friend of mine."

"Fruit wine, naturally fermented, with a complex fruity flavor. There wasn't much left. Hahahaha, he went to a mountain, captured dozens of monkeys, trained them as scouts, and brewed this kind of wine. He sent me some."

The whale fisherman said disdainfully: "Humph, I thought it was something else, something brewed by monkeys, it smells like fruit, only women and young boys like you would like it."

"I have something better."

He took off the wine flask from his waist and said complacently, "The people overseas have the Jianmu tree that reaches the sky, and under the waters are the mermaids. Did you know that? I got it from there. This is what men should drink!"

The whale fisherman drank his wine and shouted in delight.

Li Guanyi said: "This tastes good, can I have some?"

The whale fisherman glanced at him sideways and shook his hands, because of what Li Guanyi had just said, and threw it to Li Guanyi and said, "Drink it!"

Li Guanyi tilted his head back and took a big gulp. It was cool and refreshing. He said:

"Good wine!"

The whale fisherman looked pleased with himself and asked, "You also know wine?"

Li Guanyi exclaimed:
"It's clear in color, fragrant in taste, with a hint of fire in the throat and a long aftertaste, which is good."

The whale fisherman raised his hand and pulled, and the wine jug flew into his hand. He said, "Forget it, forget it. With your alcohol tolerance, how much can you drink? Speaking of which, what's the point of building that house?"

Li Guanyi felt a little tipsy, but his thoughts were clear, and he answered: "Beggars are not born beggars. They will definitely be beggars in the future, and then give birth to a son who will continue to be a beggar. I want to build a house for them to live in, and also let them learn to read and practice martial arts."

The whale fisherman sneered and said:
"What a lunatic!"

"These words are considered treason in this world."

"Be careful, those people might beat you to death after hearing this."

Li Guanyi said: "A lunatic is a lunatic!"

The alcohol was already taking over his brain.

Li Guanyi had no idea what kind of things were in the precious wine gourd that the uncle was carrying. He was already in a daze and burped, saying, "Ha, I came to this world just for this."

"Or they'll beat me to death!"

"Otherwise, I'll turn the world upside down!" The whale fisherman laughed: "Okay, okay, when the tide comes, it's all clear!"

"Come on, come on, let's drink together!"

He rolled his eyes and planned to get the young man drunk, make him look bad in front of his daughter, and knock him out with wine. Then he would take the boy and Yaoguang and leave. Otherwise, with this boy's stubbornness, he would definitely stay here.

The Immortal Guest is something that is impossible to kill and very difficult to kill.

He is not a sword fanatic, and the techniques he is good at require formations.

As for the others?
Whale fishermen don't care.

So he tried his best to persuade the young man to drink, but who knew that the words that came out of the young man's mouth were all about the pain he had when he was young, so he started drinking too. Being a madman to begin with, he cursed while drinking.

Li Guanyi should have just passed out drunk long ago, but he had a strong physique.

Dragon tendons and tiger marrow, even a diamond body cannot withstand it.

But Ji Chengfeng's physical strength had completely eliminated all the harmful ingredients in the wine, so Li Guanyi didn't fall asleep immediately. The fisherman didn't believe in evil, and he would never admit defeat, so the two of them had a drinking contest.

This wine gourd seems to have infinite space, at least it is a mysterious weapon.

The two drank for a long time but had not finished yet. Li Guanyi was already drunk, and the fisherman was also a little tipsy. Li Guanyi burped and found something wrong. It felt like he was drinking in front, and his soul was chasing him from behind. He said:
"Hey, this senior, what is the name of this wine?"

"It's quite powerful."

The whale fisherman replied: "Yell, a thousand-day drunk!"

The fisherman was slightly tipsy and happy. He shook his head and said proudly, "There was a man named Liu Xuanshi who was drunk for a thousand days. When he woke up, his mouth was full of alcohol. The others were drunk for more than three months each."

"Hehe, I met someone from Penglai Island when I was out at sea. I killed more than a hundred tiger sharks and killer whales for him and took half of his 500-year-old wine cellar. I stored it all in my Xuanbing Gourd. And you, boy, didn't get drunk after drinking it."

Li Guanyi was confused and didn't hear clearly, but he vaguely knew that this thing seemed to have a strong effect, so he said:

"Can you give me some?"

The fisherman said lazily, "No one has ever asked a beggar for anything."

"You've violated a taboo, kid."

"Interesting though, what do you want this for?"

Li Guanyi burped and said, "I want to invite a gentleman."

"But this person is very cunning. I doubt that Ma Fei San will work."

The whale fisherman said arrogantly, "What kind of Ma Fei San dares to compare with my wine?"

"But I like you, and treating people with strong liquor is something that suits my taste. Come on, bring your wine jug over, and I'll give you some!"

The whale fisherman laughed. Li Guanyi searched around and picked up a wine jug.

It was Wen He who came up with the plan that day and gave Xu Tiange the wine pot that had intoxicated the head of the farming family. He was not particular about it. The whale fisherman poured a lot of wine into it and said, "This is too small, too small. I'll change it for you!"

He casually added a formation to this ordinary wine pot, then poured three dou and three liters of strong liquor into it, and boasted, "Don't worry, this wine of mine, if poured into the sea, will paralyze all the killer whales!"

"As long as your husband is not a freak with a master's physique, or a freak with a sixty-year-old pure Yang internal energy, he must be knocked unconscious by this wine."

"It must be numb!"

"If you can't turn him over, I'll go and turn him over for you myself!"

Li Guan was delighted: "Thank you, senior."

He held the wine jug and felt it was quite heavy. However, at the moment, he was drunk by the best liquor in the world and had not encountered any murderous intent. He had not activated his fighting instinct and did not realize that an object could be so heavy that even he felt it was heavy.

How unreasonable.

Li Guanyi asked curiously, "But, Senior, you are here alone, where is your home?"

The whale fisherman drank and laughed: "I have no father and no mother, the sky is my blanket, the earth is my mat, the six voids are my pillars, and the myriad things are my brackets!"

Li Guanyi drunkenly asked: "What about the children?"

The whale fisherman saw that he was drunk and didn't care. He just said, "...I sent my daughter to someone else's home to be raised."

Li Guanyi pointed at him and cursed instinctively: "Irresponsible!"

"What kind of father are you?!"

The whale fisherman had a worried look on his face. He was originally drinking, but now it seemed that even he himself was reminded of his sad past. He tilted his head back and drank in big gulps, saying, "What can I do?! What can I do!"

"I didn't know about this daughter at first. That bastard from the Yin-Yang family came all the way to find me, but I didn't care. A daughter is always fine when she's with her mother, right?"

Li Guanyi said: "Of course!"

The whale fisherman pressed his shoulder, his eyes blazing with fire, and said, "But that woman wants to use her daughter as a [consumable material] to refine a legendary fighter. I knew about this and went to her house overnight."

"My daughter has lost her five senses."

"It's hard for her to laugh or cry. There's never any emotion on her face. When she laughs, she puts her fingers on her lips. I was furious and came out to protect her. Her mother, bah, that vicious person doesn't deserve to be her mother."

"She's hiding!"

"I took her with me. A man doesn't know how to take care of a little girl. I didn't want this child to be born. Besides, she is the descendant of that vicious woman after all. I don't like her."

"I found a wet nurse to take care of her, and she still participated in the martial arts competitions. However, the people from the sect came after her and wanted to take her back. Even some simple villagers handed her over for some rice and flour."

The whale fisherman raised his head and drank a lot of wine in one gulp. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said drunkenly, "I think about it and think that this won't do. I must be the best in martial arts in my life. I have been framed to have an extra child for nothing."

"How could I have any feelings for her, but I didn't want to throw her away, so I ran to Zhongzhou and sent her to the emperor's wet nurse, who took care of her."

"Then we agreed to teach her children martial arts."

"Then I went to the jousting."

"Before she left, the child, who was about one year old or something, held my hand and asked if she wanted something. I didn't like her, so I stuffed a steamed bun into her hand and said it was the most important thing in the world and could save her life."

The whale fisherman cursed: "But I didn't lie either."

"I'm a beggar. Damn it, white flour steamed buns. This was something I only dreamed about until I was a teenager. When I was five years old, I was beaten half to death for a steamed bun."

"What about your steamed bread?"

The whale fisherman said proudly: "I scraped the thing with my hands and it was black. The gang didn't want it, so I gave it to my brother to eat and saved his life."

"Later, this brother reported me to the police and accused me of stealing. I was hung up and beaten. This is the way the world is."

Li Guanyi drunkenly asked: "What happened next?"

The whale fisherman said complacently, "Of course I won. How many people in the world can be my opponent? But when I came back, I found that the lady's family was wiped out, and the one who did it was the child's biological mother."

"Later, I searched and searched... and finally found her."

The whale fisherman craned his neck, thinking about the heavy rain that day when he found the two-year-old child—her silver hair was covered by a hood, her soul was injured, and her face, stripped of emotions, showed a trace of fluctuation. She opened her eyes wide, took out the dry bun, and said:

'Dad, you are really here!'

'It's the most precious thing! '

Then the silver-haired child stretched out his hands to touch the ends of his lips and showed a forced smile. The whale fisherman burst into tears in the rain that day. Even now, thinking about it, his heart still ached.

The whale fisherman tilted his head back to drink, gulping down the wine in big gulps.

If it weren't for this, with his arrogance, how could he care about a child born out of conspiracy, especially when that person was his enemy. His bottom line would make him rescue the child, but he would never take it so seriously.

He knew that his inheritance and bloodline would be watched, so he sent the child to the Stargazing lineage and went out to sea to find the Lanzhi Jade Medicine that could restore the child's emotions and feelings. He also deliberately led the people of the Demon Sect overseas and moved the battlefield to the South China Sea.

Just come back to see her quietly.

But he was told that he had no father or mother, and he was so angry that he could think back to that day.

But there is nothing to do.

Originally he wanted to persuade Li Guanyi to drink, get this guy drunk and then drag him away, but at this moment the whale fisherman himself was heartbroken and just kept drinking, and got drunk even though he didn't stop. Li Guanyi comforted him, and the whale fisherman over there was also drinking, and the two of them cursed the world and the underworld.

Suddenly the young man staggered, tilted his head back to drink, and threw the jug to the whale fisherman.

He stood up and drew the ancient pine-patterned sword at his waist. He was indeed very drunk.

However, Thousand Day Drunk, the strongest liquor in the world, which is enough to make a giant whale drunk, was unable to bring down Li Guanyi's body. Ji Chengfeng's body operated with his breathing and always remained open.

Not to mention the Thousand Days Drunk, even poison can be drunk as wine.

Destroying and consuming at the same time, sooner or later all the poison will be swallowed up.

The young man held the sword in one hand, holding it horizontally, the tip of the sword swaying, his steps staggering, but he laughed loudly while dancing with the sword, saying, "Let's drink, don't stop!"

"Sing a song with you, please listen to me!"

"The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. What is there to do in this world?"

"Above are the emperor's longevity locks, in the middle are the jade maidens welcoming joy, below are the bones of the common people exposed in the wilderness, no one collects them for thousands of miles."

"Don't you see, Qinghaitou has no one to collect the bones since ancient times."

Li Guan was drunk and just chanted some random poems. Finally, he picked up his sword, pointed it forward, and said, "This world belongs to Li Guanyi."

The whale fisherman was also drunk and said disdainfully: "What can you do?!"

Li Guanyi: "We should reform the world, otherwise——"

"What if not?!"

"Then the inner treasury will be burned to ashes, and the nobles will be trampled on the streets!"

"Let the world die!"

"Even if I fail, I will give the heart of drawing the sword to everyone in this world!"

The whale fisherman called himself a madman, but today he was shocked and clapped his hands and said:
"Good, good, good temper, hahahaha!"

Li Guanyi said drunkenly: "You are speaking nonsense, please forgive me, senior."

The drunken whale fisherman grabbed him. He was frivolous and arrogant, and never stuck to the so-called etiquette and manners. He said, "What's the point of calling someone senior? You're just calling me old. Just call me brother!"

Li Guanyi said: "Brother!"

The whale fisherman laughed, "Second brother!"

“Hahahaha, second brother!”

"Big brother!"

The sound of horse hooves could be heard. Two guys with great martial arts skills, who had drunk a strong liquor that could paralyze all the students in the academy for a month, were so drunk that they were about to chop off a chicken's head to become sworn brothers. However, they turned around and saw the horses' steps brisk over there.

The silver-haired girl sat on the horse, took off her hood, and said in a calm voice:
"I thought something happened to you."

"I was drinking here."

"Who is this……"
