The rain was pouring down, and Duanmuyu stood under the eaves, hands behind his hands and eyes closed, silent for a long time.
A drop of water is like a thread, connecting heaven and earth. Standing here, can you sense God's will?
God willing? Who can know God’s will?
A gust of wind blew up, lifting the paper on the desk, revealing the words on the white paper:
The world is so miserable, who cares about the happiness of the common people? It is impossible to do good deeds, and it is impossible to eliminate evil. The right path is difficult and long, and I would like to go to hell.
"If I don't go to hell, who will?" Duanmuyu murmured softly, and two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes, sliding down his handsome face and falling on the splashed ground, mixing with the rain falling from the sky. .
Duan Muyu opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he said without a trace of emotion: "Tell them all to take action!" After hearing this, Mu Ji, who was standing behind him, bowed deeply, said "yes", and rushed forward quickly Into the rain, disappeared without a trace.
"If I don't go to hell, who will? The world is already a hell." Duanmuyu stretched out his hand outside the eaves to touch the rain, murmuring like a dream.
Arriving at the inn, one person came out of the rain with a coir raincoat, a sword and a horse.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked with a smile.
"Feed the horse and bring me twenty steamed buns, five kilograms of meat, and five kilograms of wine. Wrap them up. And two more bowls of meat soup noodles." Zhu Xiaochen took off his raincoat, put down the sword in his hand, and said coldly, "If you do a good job, there's no need to exchange copper coins for it." After saying this, he took out a 2-tael silver ingot from his waist and placed it on the desk.
It was rare for the waiter to see such a wealthy guest, so he took the money and left happily.
"Mr. Zhu, Duanmuyu has something to do with you."
"Your Highness, please tell me, but if you can teach me, I will definitely do it!"
"Please, Mr. Zhu, go back to the capital and kill one person!"
"who?"
"Rui Rumin!"
"If I don't die, he will die!"
"Please pay homage to Duanmu Yu!"
After entering the old courtyard from there, Zhu Xiaochen went straight to the capital without stopping. At this moment, it was dark and he had arrived in Danzhou. He just happened to make up for his needs along the way at this inn. After finishing two bowls of noodle soup, the waiter was packing various things into bags and delivering them to Zhu Xiaochen.
Zhu Xiaochen took the bag, put on his raincoat, held his sword in his hand, walked quickly to the courtyard, untied the horse, jumped on the horse's back, and galloped eastward.
Run thousands of miles to kill only one person.
To the north of the capital is Shanghe County and Pingzhou City.
The sky was dark and it was hard to tell morning from night. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it has become a torrential force. A group of people walked quickly in the rain, some carrying shovels, some carrying pickaxes, some carrying shovels, and some carrying hoes.
The direction they were heading was the largest water project in Dahua, the more than ten miles long Pingzhou Dam. There were only a few dozen soldiers stationed at the dam, and they had already killed them all.
More than a hundred people lined up and stood still on the dam.
A man stood in front of the team, and the raindrops hit his face, making him unable to see clearly. Just listen to him shouting loudly to the more than a hundred people in front of him: "Die for the country, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
The more than a hundred people opposite him also shouted in unison with him: "Die for your country, even if you die, you will have no regrets!" Tears flowed out and mixed with the rain, making it impossible to distinguish whether they were happy or sad, bitter or salty.
Hoe after hoe after hoe
Shovel after shovel after shovel
More and more mud and rocks are being dug out of the dam. Everyone forgot about fatigue and the pain of broken skin on their palms, and just dug and shoveled frantically.
After dark, it became light again, and the rain continued to fall, and it didn't stop even now.
A gap will open.
On one side of the gap is the endless Pingzhou River, and on the other side is the rich and beautiful Pingzhou City, the capital of Shanghe County.
The wind became an accomplice and caused a big wave. The waves hit the dam hard with the force of the wind, opened the gap and rolled down, carrying the spades, the shovels, and the unidentifiable group of more than a hundred people, rushing toward Pingzhou City.
South of Dahua, Penan County, Penan Post.
"General Rui, the rain has not stopped, and the food and grass have not been delivered for eight days. The food stock at the post is only 120 dan. If we can hold on for three days at most, we will be out of food!" The quartermaster of the Pinan post knelt down. On the ground, his face turned pale.
"Is it only enough for three days?" Rui Tuyu clenched his hands into fists and said bitterly.
Last period: three days.
If there is no more food and grass supply after three days, the soldiers in the army will have no food to eat and mutiny will occur. How terrible it would be for an army of more than 20,000 people to mutiny!
In the past five days, Rui Tuyu sent a total of five teams out to investigate, but none of them returned.
Rui Tuwu has never been so nervous. He is not afraid of killing the enemy on the battlefield, but if his soldiers are short of food, they will surely mutiny and cause chaos. No matter how powerful his military might be, he would never be able to suppress him. This disaster can reach heaven.
"Ding Renwei, order a hundred elite soldiers to follow me out of the camp!" Rui Tuyu didn't dare to wait any longer and decided to go to the grain road to check it out in person. Find out what happened and why the military rations didn't arrive for so long? Why didn't the team of explorers return?
"Yes, general! Why don't you order more people?" Ding Renwei is Rui Tuyu's confidant. He was also anxious at this time, but he couldn't help but feel worried when he heard that Ruituyu only ordered a hundred people to go out to investigate.
Rui Tuyu took a deep breath and said: "The army is short of food, and the fewer people who know about it, the better." Ding Renwei understood, and took the order to order troops.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" One hundred and two riders rode out in the rain and headed for the grain road.
A flash of skylight flashed, and thunder rumbled.
Tianrenjian is the first dangerous place on the southern grain road. The grain road passes through the mountain stream. The narrowest mountain stream of 200 feet is only more than ten feet wide, so two cars cannot go parallel.
"Sir, the food reserves at Binan Post should be running low, so five teams of people have been sent out." A monkey-faced man said to a bearded man in the bushes in the mountain stream.
"Well, for this kind of permanent outpost, the army's food reserves are usually ten days to half a month's rations during non-war times. We have blocked them for eight days, so I don't think they will have much food reserves. Mr. Mu is really a god. We are ordered to stay here for more than a month in advance. Once it starts raining continuously, we will intercept the food team and the people sent by the outpost to investigate. Alas, I only hope that they will rebel early and scatter without going to the battlefield." Bearded Five Hundred Fu Fu rubbed his chin and said.
"My lord, my lord! Here comes another one! I've seen the armor, and it turns out he's a third-grade general!" A scout rushed over and shouted.
When the five hundred men heard this, they rushed out of the small tent and laughed: "Oh? What a general? How many people did you bring with you?"
"More than a hundred people!" the scout replied.
"Really?" Wubaifu spat heavily and said with a grin: "I am lucky this year. I was given a third-grade general as a gift!" Then he said to the left and right: "Prepare for war, the same as usual! I have been promoted. , your benefits are indispensable!”
Several centurions were overjoyed when they heard this, and went away sharpening their swords.
"Uu~~~" Ruituyu reined in his horse in front of the mountain stream, stopped his mount, raised his head and looked in both directions. After checking it over, he found nothing unusual, so he ordered: "Keep going!"
"Boom~~~" A burst of thunder sounded, and one hundred and two riders headed towards the mountain stream.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly many big rocks fell from both sides of the mountain stream, hitting horses, people, and the ground.
