Under the rising sun, on the high hill, Li Fengyun stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe flew, his white hair fluttered, his abyss and his magnificent posture was full of heroic posture.

Xu Shiji stood beside him, his expression was melancholy and his eyebrows were full of haze.

"This is Wagang?"

Li Fengyun's voice slowly rang out, with a little doubt, a little novelty, and a little disappointment.

"Watting." Xu Shiji forced out a smile and corrected, "Since ancient times, this place has been called Wa, which belongs to the ancient Wei Kingdom. Its history has a long history, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is basically the same as the history of Baimajin. Of course, Baimajin is famous and shook ancient and modern times, while Wating is unknown."

Li Fengyun laughed, and he turned around and looked at Xu Shiji, laughing even harder.

"Why are brother laughing?" Xu Shiji asked strangely.

Li Fengyun stretched out his right hand, patted Xu Shiji's shoulder vigorously, and raised his hand to point to the nearby sand dunes, woods, lakes, and reed marsh. "From today, you and this ancient land will be recorded in the history of Middle Earth and will be passed down through the ages."

Xu Shiji was stunned, not knowing what to say. Are you mocking me or going crazy again? Now I don’t know if I can see the sun tomorrow, where can I have the ambitions to pass on forever?

"Brother, I admire him." Xu Shiji said perfunctorily.

"Don't think that someone is talking crazy." Li Fengyun laughed, "Remember what someone said today. A few years later, when you dominate the Central Plains, look back at this land and you will know that someone is right."

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and felt heavier. Although he didn't know your origin, you have been a thief for many years and have no one. Of course, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want. I have a lot of bondage. I am worried about it, and I can't let go. It's like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, struggling with difficulties.

"Don't think too much." Li Fengyun looked at the red sun in the sky, his eyes showing an intoxicating look, as if his whole body and mind were bathed in the sun and sunshine, wandering in the warm foreign world.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. Do whatever you want, do whatever you want. Don't care what others say, and don't hand over your destiny to others. You must control your destiny." Li Fengyun said this, as if he was generous. "A person's life is very short, and in the blink of an eye, it has changed. Things and people have changed. So cherish every moment of the day and don't leave any regrets. In this way, even if he suddenly dies at the next moment, he will be open and honest, without regrets."

Xu Shiji listened quietly and pondered silently. The haze in his heart gradually dissipated under the caress of the sun, and the melancholy flowing between the soul gradually faded with the broadening of his mind.

Li Fengyun walked with his white hair dancing with the wind. His tall and fierce back exuded a powerful and violent aura under the reflection of the rising sun, like an inviolable god of war, making people feel awe and admiration.

Xu Shiji looked at the mighty and elegant back, and couldn't help but escape the scenes of the white horse running wildly that day, especially in the end, Li Fengyun drove his horse out of the cliff and fell into the river. His unswerving and willingness to die, resolute and strong, with white hair flying, and heroic back was deeply engraved in his heart and will never forget it. At that moment, what was needed was not only courage, wisdom and trust, but also faith, and the firm belief that can defeat yourself, defeat the enemy, and defeat all things in the world.

Xu Shiji asked himself that it was himself, or Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, it was impossible for him to make a decisive decision like Li Fengyun, and to escape from the siege with invincible force, because he lacked the belief of winning. It was precisely because of this that when the four people fled to Wating to discuss the strategy of survival, a fierce debate broke out, and the focus of the debate was to be a small thief or a big thief.

As the name suggests, the so-called little thief is a petty person who steals the cat. Even if you have the ability to make the little thief to the extreme, you are just a gangster. You can't stand the light, there is no security, and you can't withstand the impact of the storm and waves. You can't get rid of a thief in front of you and behind you. The so-called big thief is to raise the flag of uprising, openly claim to overthrow the emperor, destroy the regime, and then proclaim to become king, dominate one side, and the big thief is to achieve the ultimate Even if he is expected to become the lord of Middle Earth, he will be a marquis and a prince who is a countryside. Of course, if the rebellion fails, he will definitely die, but compared with the fate of being a thief and living a life of silence, the two are very different from heaven and earth. If they cannot be remembered for a lifetime, they will be infamous for thousands of years. A real man should do something grand and earth-shaking, and how can he hide in a dark corner like an ants?

Wating is close to the Yellow River, less than a hundred miles away from the Yellow River.

The northeast is Baimacheng and Baimajin, which are less than a hundred miles apart. A few dozen miles down the river is Liyang City, an important town in Hebei.

Its southeast direction is opposite to the Tongji Canal of the South Canal, and the two places are more than 200 miles apart.

It is northwest across the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal of the North Canal, and the straight line is only a hundred miles away.

Wating is at the junction of four waterways, including the Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal, which runs north and south, and the Yellow River and Ji River in the east and west. If the East Du is the point and the Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal are the lines, it will be connected together to be a giant "kow", and Wating is outside the giant trumpet mouth. Then, the East Du is the point, and the East Du is the line with the Yellow River and Ji River in the east and east directions. It is similar to a giant big horn that lasts more than a thousand miles long, and Wating is at the front end of this big horn.

Therefore, Wating's geographical location is still good. It is not only adjacent to the prosperous Great Gyeonggi region of Dongdu, but also located at the transportation hub between the Grand Canal and the Grand Canal. It should also be a prosperous place. However, the fact is just the opposite. Such a place with excellent geographical location is affected by floods because it is adjacent to the two major water systems of the Yellow River and the Jishui River. Baima, a solid "pivot" in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, has endured the huge impact of roaring floods from the middle and upper reaches every time the Yellow River diverts, resulting in silt and water levels, which makes the southern part of the Yellow River from Xingyang to Baima become a severely affected area in every flood.

Because of the frequent flooding of the Yellow River, the area has undulating ridges, trees, ditches and rivers, flocks of water birds, reeds and deserted people. The environment of Wating is even worse due to its low terrain. This year, the Yellow River broke out again in the rainy season, and more than a dozen counties along the river were affected. Wating, which was already a yellow area, has become a vast ocean. Now the flood has receded, Wating has changed from a vast ocean to a swamp, with a range of more than twenty miles. Although it is close to Baima, Wei Cheng, Lingchang, Kuangcheng, and Kuangcheng, there is no way to go. Even if the Dongjun government knew that Zhai Rang and others had escaped into Wating, they could only sigh at the "weather" and sigh.

However, for the underworld tyrants in Dongjun, Wating is a natural refuge. The last retreat for the gangsters of Dongjun led by Zhai Rang was the one who left for themselves was the refuge in Wating. Therefore, they had been secretly operating Wating for many years, built simple houses on some of the higher hills, built simple sheds in some water woods, moored some canals on the lake with lush water and grass, and hoarded a certain amount of millet and silk and other daily necessities, and also raised a group of thieves wanted by the government as dead soldiers.

After Zhai Rang's accident, the number of people taking refuge in Wating suddenly increased. Not only did Zhai's family and relatives come from all directions to escape the prison, but even the old friends who were close to him came to avoid the "lift" temporarily. So in a short time, Wating was overcrowded. Fortunately, Zhai Rang had strong connections and many brothers, such as the Lihu Xu family and the Caozhou Shan family, who were his "strong" backing, which could quickly solve these difficulties in life, but the crisis in survival was unable to be solved. Moreover, because they were too deeply involved with each other, the crisis faced by these "strong" backings became increasingly greater.

There is a house on the highest hill in Wating. Because the purpose of building it at that time was to stock up and Tibetans, the house it built was actually a large warehouse. Now nearly 100 people from the Zhai family live in this large warehouse, and the hoarded goods have become "screens" for partitions according to local conditions.

Li Fengyun and Xu Shiji did not live in the large warehouse, but set up a tent in the woods near the lake as their temporary residence.

For the Henan thieves stationed in Wating, Li Fengyun is an outsider, who is completely outsider, and has no trust in each other. Zhai Rang, who escaped with Li Fengyun, had originally only wanted to use him, but now he has successfully escaped, so he naturally has to "squeeze" all his value, so his trust is extremely limited.

Li Fengyun refused to live in the large warehouse, and Zhai Rang did not force him to stay. In order to maintain the most basic trust between the two parties, Xu Shiji offered to live with Li Fengyun, but Li Fengyun did not refuse. This morning, the two returned from walking by the lake and received an invitation from Zhai Rang to have breakfast in the large warehouse.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Li Fengyun saw Zhai Kuan, Zhai Rang's brothers and Shan Xiongxin were there, Zhai Rang's classmate Jia Xiong, and Zhai Kuan's disciple Wang Ruxin. He also saw several strange faces. Those strangers obviously heard the story of the white-haired prisoner. Everyone's eyes were full of awe and alertness, and they all acted respectfully and consciously to keep a distance.

Zhai Rang took the initiative to introduce to Li Fengyun: These are all brothers on the Tao who have sworn blood and participated in the White Horse Raid Prison without hesitation. They are all kind people to you and me, including Wang Yaohan from Jiyang, Wang Bodang's brothers from Huang, Wang Dangren from Weicheng, Zhou Wenju from Yongqiu, and Li Gongyi from Yongqiu, who are all powerful people in Dongjun and its surrounding areas. Today, they gathered together in Wating to agree on survival strategies.

Li Fengyun stood proudly. In Zhai Rang's introduction, he asked Wang Han in turn, and Wang Bodang and others for his tribute, which was regarded as a thanks to the so-called "people who have kindness". Although Wang Yaohan and others felt that Li Fengyun was quite arrogant, they had the capital to be arrogant. Besides, they were all arranged to respond outside the city during the prison robbery, so there was no "gratitude" to Li Fengyun. Even Li Fengyun's vain response was worthy of it.

Everyone sat down, and Zhai Rang said, "I received the news that the Jiyin County Government arrested the entire Shan clan yesterday and is now being taken to Baima. I must rush to save the person as quickly as possible."

Li Fengyun frowned and quietly glanced at Shan Xiongxin with a gloomy face, then looked at Zhai Rang with a firm expression, and sneered secretly. This was obviously a trap, and if the people of Wagang jumped down, they would undoubtedly die.
