"Follow the order!"
Outside Heshui Town, Yanxing City.
With Xu Yi issuing military orders one after another.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers from Wang's Camp instantly flew to all parts of Heshui Town like arrows from a string.
On the high ground outside the town.
Xu Yi stood in the violent storm with an extremely serious look on his face.
Constantly overlooking the entire flooded town with the brief flash of lightning.
at the same time. formerly
His hands kept pointing in the void.
And in my mind, I constantly overturned, rebuilt, overturned, and rebuilt the "life routes" leading to life.
behind him.
Nearly ten thousand soldiers of the king's camp stood motionless in the violent storm like cold statues.
No matter how wild the wind is.
No matter how cold the rain is, it is bone-chilling.
The circular military formations formed one after another by nearly 10,000 Wang Camp soldiers never wavered in the slightest. formerly
In an instant.
Up and down the high ground outside the town.
Except for the thunder and lightning and the violent storm.
There is no other color, no other sound.
The high ground is three miles away.
After all the affairs have been handed over and arranged properly.
Hou Wenyuan was supported by Xialuo County Lieutenant Zhang Yiming. formerly
The water flowing down to his knees carefully followed a messenger as he walked toward higher ground.
Fang and his party arrived at the military formation.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming noticed something was wrong.
There were clearly countless circular military formations in front of the two of them.
And there are at least a hundred people in each circular military formation.
But while the two of them were walking, not a single sound came from the circular military formation.
Everyone is the same. formerly
Standing motionless in the storm like a cold statue.
Quiet.
Quiet.
It's really too quiet.
It's quiet enough to make your scalp tingle uncontrollably.
In a trance.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming couldn't help but feel that this place was not the human world, but a ghost. formerly
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming, who had numb scalps and goosebumps all over their bodies, finally walked through the layers of military formations to the halfway point of the high ground.
Fang and his party reached the halfway point of the high ground.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming coincidentally slowed down their pace again.
The two of them were not far in front of them. formerly
There are more than ten people with big shoulders and round waists, wearing dark armor.
They stood motionless like cold statues on the left and right in front.
The cold rain kept lapping at the pitch-black armor, making a sound that was indescribable but was enough to send chills all over the body.
From time to time the sky flashed bright lights.
Under the bright light, the dark armor shone with a cold light.
Just looking at it from a distance is enough to make your scalp numb and your body cold.
Don't even mention getting closer. formerly
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming coincidentally slowed down their pace again.
After counting the interest.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming unexpectedly stopped at the same time.
After lowering his head and secretly breathing for more than ten times.
The two of them just started walking in tandem.
at the same time.
The two of them looked at a black figure in the center unconsciously. formerly
That figure was not surrounded by jet-black armor, and it was not as tall and tall as the dozen or so generals behind him.
But I don’t know why.
When the two of them looked at the black figure with its back to them.
In a trance, the whole body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible substance.
It was difficult to move even an inch.
Just when the two of them were shocked.
The messenger who led the way before moved smoothly to three steps away from the central figure.
"Report to your lord."
"County Magistrate Hou, County Lieutenant Zhang has arrived."
The ordering soldier faced the central figure and saluted with his fists deeply clasped.
"Come to the lonely place."
Xu Yi turned his back to Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming and spoke slowly.
The words are over.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, my hands and feet are no longer as hard as stone. formerly
"yes!"
Hou Wenyuan and Zhang Yiming bowed deeply and bowed.
Then he carefully walked through the group of broad-shouldered generals and walked two steps away from Xu Yi.
"How is Xialuo City?"
Xu Yi asked with his back to the two of them.
"Go back to your lord."
"Xialuo City is fine for now."
"The owner of Chai Fang and Liu Xian Cheng are leading the hired workers and people to sort out the river channel."
Hou Wenyuan bowed his hands and said.
"That's good."
"Have you met Magistrate Xu?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then asked again.
"Go back to your lord."
"Before Wang Ling arrived, Xianguan was gathering with Magistrates Xu and Zhu to discuss countermeasures?"
Hou Wenyuan answered truthfully.
"oh?"
"Is there any countermeasure?"
Xu Yi said with great interest.
"Back..."
"Back to my lord..."
"Xiaguan... The three Xiaguan people discussed the countermeasure... to flood the city..."
Hou Wenyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally answered truthfully.
"Who proposed it and who seconded it?"
Xu Yi still turned his back to Hou Wenyuan and said in a slightly cold voice.
"Back..."
"Back to my lord..."
"This... this matter was proposed by Magistrate Xu... Magistrate Xu."
"Xia...Xiaguan and Zhu County Magistrate...have no objections."
Hou Wenyuan lowered his head unconsciously and reported truthfully.
"Do you three know that this is a capital crime?"
Xu Yi's voice became colder again.
"Go back...to meet the prince..."
"Xu County Magistrate knows...Zhu County Magistrate knows...Xia Guan...Xia Guan also knows..."
Hou Wenyuan's voice dropped a few minutes unconsciously.
"How dare you know this?"
Xu Yi asked in a deep voice, the ice in his voice making Hou Wenyuan tremble violently involuntarily.
"Go back to your lord."
"For...for the more than 100,000 people in the three cities."
"Xiaguan... The three of you, Xiaguan, are not afraid of death."
Hou Wenyuan's body trembled violently involuntarily, but his voice was particularly firm.
"Are you not afraid of your name after your death?"
Xu Yi asked again. formerly
"No... no fear."
"If you're not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of your reputation?"
Hou Wenyuan endured the indescribable feeling of suffocation all over his body, shook his head slightly and laughed dumbly.
The words are over.
Hou Wenyuan lowered his head and quietly waited for the final judgment.
However, he waited and waited but never got the slightest response.
Hou Wenyuan secretly clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to look up. formerly
At a glance.
He saw the figure that put great pressure on him two steps away from him, with his back turned to him and pointing in the void.
Just when Hou Wenyuan was in a trance.
The figure that had always had its back turned slowly turned around.
"Thank you Yuanmou!"
Xu Yi turned around slowly, looking past Hou Wenyuan with a deep gaze and looking directly behind him.
"The end is here!"
A middle-aged general with big arms and a round waist, wearing pitch black armor, immediately stepped out of the line and saluted with fists in his hands.
"Qu Xiaowei's troops are about to arrive at the entrance of the town."
"You will go to the entrance of the town immediately and collect half of the ships from Captain Qu."
"After entering the town, proceed from east to west to meet the people rescued by Dong Xing's troops!"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
Xie Yuanmou once again cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and walked quickly down the slope. formerly
"Wang Jingbo!"
Xu Yi named him again without any pause.
"The general is here!"
The herald Wang Jingbo quickly came out of the queue and saluted with his fists clasped.
"A hundred people immediately took a boat into the town to look for Dong Xing's headquarters."
"Order him to reorganize his troops and immediately march eastward three miles from the town entrance!"
"When you encounter an intersection after three miles, go right for three miles!"
"After three miles, walk eastward for another two miles and you will arrive at the river embankment!"
"The water level is the slowest along this route!"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice again.
"Follow the order!"
Wang Jingbo clasped his fists in salute again, and then quickly ran down the slope.
After Wang Jingbo's figure completely disappeared from sight.
Hou Wenyuan, who had been waiting all the time, finally caught Xu Yi's gaze. formerly
"Special times call for special actions."
"The three of you have done a good job in this regard."
"But please remember not to mention this matter again in the future."
The words are over.
Xu Yi turned around again and overlooked the entire flood town.
"startled."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hou Wenyuan was slightly startled, and Xu Yi's intention gradually became clear in his heart.
at the same time.
I sighed in my heart: "I'm afraid County Magistrate Xu is about to reach the top of his career."
.......
.......
at the same time.
There is a slope in Heshui Town that can barely be considered a highland. formerly
Just when Geng Maocheng and more than a dozen old men were filled with despair.
Suddenly a child suddenly stood up.
"gentlemen!"
"Mr. Geng!"
"Here comes someone! Here comes Mr. Geng!"
The child pointed at a distance and shouted loudly.
"Squat down! Silence!"
Geng Maocheng shouted in a low voice like a reflex.
In his opinion.
Those who can approach this place at this time must be the people of Heshui Town.
It is not because of his hard heart that he is unwilling to lend a helping hand.
In fact, it was a flood at this time.
No one knows how long they can hold on to the dirt slope beneath them.
If the earth slope beneath you completely collapsed due to the people who fled. formerly
By then, the hundreds of children around him would definitely have no chance of survival.
"Mr. Geng! My mother! My mother is on the back of those horses!"
Just as the child was about to squat down, another bright lightning flashed in the sky.
Under the lightning, an unusually familiar figure suddenly appeared in the child's sight?
"Those people? On horseback?"
"Sanwa, take a good look at how many people and horses there are."
"How far away are those people from us now?"
Geng Maocheng frowned when he heard this and asked again and again.
He and a group of elders were searching for left-behind children in the town.
The entire town is empty except for children and the elderly, weak and injured who are really unable to move.
The rest have rushed to the river embankment to strengthen the embankment.
As for the people sitting on the horses, they had already escaped from Heshui Town before the flood broke the embankments.
If there are many people coming from below, and everyone is riding a horse.
I'm afraid there is no other possibility except the military. formerly
"Could they be soldiers from Yanxian City?"
"But it is absolutely impossible for the soldiers of Yongxing City to have a fast horse."
"There's no way it could come so quickly."
In just a few breaths, Geng Maocheng had thousands of thoughts in his mind.
At the edge of the slope.
The child known as Sanwa opened his eyes instantly when he heard this.
Waiting anxiously for the next bolt of lightning. formerly
Not long after.
An unusually bright bolt of lightning arrived as promised.
"Mr. Geng! Mr. Geng! I saw it!"
"So many people! So many horses! We're almost here!"
After the lightning, Sanwa shouted with excitement.
"Mr. Geng, Mr. Geng, I saw it too."
"There are so many horses!"
"Mr. Geng, Mr. Geng, I seem to have seen my father."
Several children on the outermost edge of the depths said excitedly one after another.
"What!"
"Ji Gaoyun, what did you just say! Say it again?!"
Geng Maocheng's expression paused when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly.
He looked at the child on the edge with burning eyes.
"Did you see your dad?!"
Without waiting for the child's answer, Geng Maocheng asked again eagerly.
If he remembers correctly.
Ji Gaoyun's father should be at King Yan's camp in Juyang City at this time!
A few days ago, when Ji Gaoyun's father visited with gifts, he mentioned that he would return to King Yan's camp in Juyang City after the Lantern Festival.
It only takes one day to take a boat from Heshui Town to Juyang City.
"Sir! It's my dad! My dad is here to save us!"
Another bright lightning flashed across the night sky. formerly
Ji Gaoyun, who was six years old, shouted with excitement.
"His Royal Highness, King Yan, has sent troops to rescue us?"
Geng Maocheng looked at Mr. Bai He next to him with disbelief.
"Ji Gaoyun's father is a soldier under His Royal Highness King Yan?"
When Mr. He heard this, he was stunned for a few breaths, and then he answered the question.
"yes."
"It was someone from Prince Yan's Mansion who was responsible for Ji Gaoyunjiao's cultivation at the beginning."
"A few days ago, when Ji Jinping visited Geng with a gift, he said that he is now the commander of the next village under King Yan."
Geng Maocheng answered without thinking.
"His Royal Highness King Yan must have sent troops to help!"
"Let's go! Follow me to meet Master Wang!"
He Lao heard this and felt certain, and then he stood up tremblingly.
The voice was full of determination.
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was fortunate enough to be invited to Prince Yan's Mansion to worship at the Wind, Rain and Thunder Altar."
"While passing by King Yan's camp, I happened to encounter a group of soldiers and horses coming out of King Yan's camp."
"When the troops and horses walked, they formed a line horizontally and vertically, and their steps were consistent."
"And no one is smiling as we walk."
"You can see from the inside that the military discipline of King Yan is very strict."
He Lao said slowly and pointedly.
Geng Maocheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Such a highly disciplined army. formerly
There will be no unauthorized leaving of the camp.
Not long after.
Geng Maocheng, He Lao and others walked down the slope and looked at each other across the water.
at the same time.
On the slope, Ji Gaoyun and other children shouted in unison under the organization of a group of elders.
"Dad! I am Gao Yun! Come and save us while we are here."
"Uncle Ji, Gao
The clouds are here! Gao Yun is here, please save us. "formerly
The slope is not far away.
Ji Jinping squatted on the horse's back with red eyes.
Constantly taking advantage of the brief light brought by the lightning in the sky to quickly look around.
God knows how desperate he felt when he learned the news that Heshui Town had burst its banks.
perhaps.
For Ji Jinping, the only good news now is when he just passed by his house.
There was no one in the small courtyard that used to be full of laughter and laughter. formerly
But as more and more people came to rescue him from the flood.
Ji Jinping felt more and more anxious and desperate.
Just when Ji Jinping was about to be completely enveloped in despair.
Suddenly a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Gao Yun! Gao Yun! It's Gao Yun's voice!"
"Son! Daddy is here! Daddy is here! Wait for daddy! You must wait for daddy!"
Ji Jinping's heart instantly ignited with strong hope. formerly
"Dad! I am Gao Yun! We are here! Come and save us!"
"Uncle Ji, Gao Yun is here! Gao Yun is here, please save us."
Ji Jinping looked around to find the source of the sound.
More than a hundred children on the slope shouted in unison again.
"Over there! Quick! Follow me to save people!"
Ji Jinping identified the direction and immediately shouted loudly.
