The queue back to the city was very long, and Li Ke and the others naturally walked to the front. However, when they were about twenty miles away from Chihai City, there happened to be a ridge here. At first, Li Ke didn't think anything of it, but when he waited After riding a horse up this gentle ridge, Li Ke was stunned.
As far as the eye can see, on both sides of the official road, densely packed horses, tents, and herdsmen crowd the open grassland, just like rows of neat decorations on the roadside.
At this time, Li Ke suddenly came back to his senses. He said why he always felt like something was wrong when he got up in the morning. It turned out that many herdsmen who were working were missing, and now he finally knew where these herdsmen were. .
Not only Li Ke was stunned, but Pei Xingjian, Yang Anning and others who were following Li Ke were also stunned. Li Daozong, Li Yan, Su Dingfang and others who were seeing him off were also stunned. Everyone stood on the ridge in a daze. He stared blankly at the two gray and black lines extending out within his sight.
To be honest, Li Ke had never thought about this. He had thought that when he left, some herdsmen might come to see him off. However, in the two days before departure, Li Ke was so busy that he was so busy that he had no time to think about this. All the things that need to be carried, and the things that can be arranged as much as possible, must be arranged.
And although the First Five-Year Plan has been planned, many of the details are actually not planned. These details are planned by Li Yan and then handed over to Li Ke for review and finalization.
So the follow-up development plan, I discovered when I was leaving, was actually quite busy.
At this moment, Li Ke was also shocked. In fact, he didn't feel that he had done anything great. In Li Ke's view, this was just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and using the limitations of his vision to give ordinary people in this era It's just a way to survive.
And the two lines stretching into the sky in front of you prove that as long as you are kind to them, the people will never forget.
The crowd below here have seen Li Ke's motorcade appear, or in other words, they have actually known it before, because Li Ke's team must have scouts in front of them. Seeing the scouts means that His Highness is not far away from here. Not far away.
But when His Highness actually appeared, everyone was still excited. However, the commotion quickly calmed down. No one rushed over and they just waited quietly on the spot, leaving only the wide road in the middle.
"Drive!" Li Ke knocked the horse's belly with his legs and said softly.
The war horse under Li Ke's crotch immediately took its own steps and walked down. When Li Ke walked to the crowd closest to him, before Li Ke could say anything, the crowd in the front knelt down directly. Their legs were kneeling on the ground, and their whole body was lying on the ground. Their movements suddenly blocked all the words that Li Ke wanted to say.
For the first time, he didn't say anything, but just silently controlled the horses to walk forward. The crowds on both sides were like human walls that would automatically fall down. As Li Ke moved forward, rows of people knelt there neatly, No one made a sound, they seemed to be worshiping devout gods.
Li Ke could only speed up his pace and let the horses go faster, but he soon discovered that it was a luxury to hope to get out as soon as possible.
Because this line seems to be endless.
Li Yan and Yang Anning were all following Li Ke, and their eyes were filled with admiration at this moment! They have never seen such a scene! Such a scene is too shocking. Is this the status of His Highness in the minds of these herdsmen?
Li Daozong and Su Dingfang thought more deeply. This scene also shocked them greatly. As generals, for the first time, they felt a kind of shock that was different from that of a powerful army! That’s the people’s will!
"Xunzi" says: Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. Li Daozong and the others have all read books, but this is the first time they have experienced this so deeply.
In the future, in this Xizhou, there will probably be no one with a higher status than His Highness. Now, let alone Murong Shun, it is Murong Fuyun who has been reborn. If he dares to say anything against His Highness, it is estimated that the first one to draw a sword and hack him to death will be the one next to him. Those personal guards.
There was another person who was equally shocked, and that was Li Min.
After he came to Xizhou, he basically had no sense of existence. He felt like a dispensable person. However, Li Min felt that he did a good job. In the early stage, he acted as a supervisor at the construction site, and later in the military camp. Inside, they were training with the soldiers from Xizhou.
Over the past six months, Li Min's body has grown taller and stronger. Although his skin has tanned, he has become much more energetic and no longer looks like the playboy he used to be.
These experiences made Li Min suddenly understand a lot. He felt that his previous behaviors were really like that of a child who had never been in a military camp. He had no idea what the life of the lower-level soldiers was like.
The military camp was a melting pot, and Li Min felt a lot more sensible after entering it. The main reason was that when Li Ke suppressed him and no one knew that he was a prince, and he could only patiently communicate with ordinary people, he understood a lot.
When talking about returning to the city, Li Min was somewhat confident. He felt that he had done a good job. But when he saw this scene, Li Min suddenly fell silent.
Because he suddenly felt that apart from his status as the prince, he seemed... dispensable? He thought that what the third brother did was just like that, but with this scene in front of him, he finally understood how big the gap between him and the third brother was.
What's even more frightening is that he was unable to realize the gap between him and his third brother before.
The distance between Chihai and Longyang Gorge is close to three hundred miles. It is definitely impossible to reach it in one day. The speed of packhorse and camel is only seven or eight kilometers per hour, so it will take at least two days to reach it.
When they arrived at the service area set up here in the evening, Li Ke discovered that the surrounding herdsmen automatically surrounded them, but they did not enter the service area. Instead, they set up a circle of tents directly around the periphery of the service area, covering the entire service area. Protected.
In the service area, Li Ke and others sat in a circle and lit a fire in the middle. Because the terrain selected for the service area was relatively high, they could see the surrounding grasslands and the dots on both sides of the road in the distance. The fire started to light up.
"Your Highness, I'm suddenly under a lot of pressure." Li Daozong said with a bitter smile.
"What's so stressful? I think you should be happy." Li Ke glanced at him.
"Ah?" Li Daozong was a little confused, "This situation today is all due to your highness. If I can't maintain this situation after you leave, then I am not violating your high trust."
The other people next to him also nodded. This pressure is indeed very great.
"Hey, you don't understand this, General Li. Look at the herdsmen around you. Although this scene is shocking, you should feel relaxed." Li Ke pointed to the little lights in the surrounding wilderness.
"Easy?" Everyone in Li Daozong was stunned. How to explain this ease?
