On 3 May, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Xiaozu and his entourage finally walked out of the long and dark cave.

I saw that the river, trees, mounds and rocks in front of the cave entrance were all gone, and the radius was cleaned up, and the river was greatly widened and dug deep, taking advantage of the surrounding valley topography to form a huge embankment.

There were many people in the embankment, some people were digging, some were carrying soil, some were moving stones, some were ramming, and at a glance there were five or six thousand people, all of them were strong and strong laborers, and they were working in full swing.

"No wonder I heard the sound of ping-pong outside from a distance through the entrance of the cave, and it turned out that the embankment was being built. Zhang Xiaopu looked at the busy scene in front of him and suddenly said to himself, and at the same time couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the city lord of Yancheng, feeling that this should be a wise and resolute person in power.

Zhang Xiaopaw felt that if the huge embankment in front of him could be filled with water, the problem of water shortage in Yancheng would be greatly alleviated, and even the refugees outside the city would definitely be able to get some clean water to relieve their hunger and thirst.

In addition-

Zhang Xiaopaw looked back at the dark cave, and couldn't help but think of the huge red-haired carrion corpse imprisoned by the giant sword and iron chains, he couldn't help but shiver, hoping that it was all his hallucination, not real, if it wasn't an illusion, then pray for the giant sword and the iron chain to give a little more force, firmly imprison the red-haired carrion corpse, so that it can never come out to bring disaster to the world.

As for the long-haired ghost, he wasn't too worried, because he felt that the long-haired ghost was very guarded, as long as he didn't go into the water to give her a chance.

"Miss, you guys are coming out!" As soon as he came out of the cave, Zhao Quan led someone to greet him, his eyes fell on a few people who were carried out and were still unconscious, and immediately frowned and asked, "What's wrong with them? Are you in danger in the cave?"

Qi Yoyo nodded and said, "I was attacked by a monster hiding in the water, and several of them were seriously injured, but fortunately, they didn't worry about their lives." The interception went well, and according to your calculations, the water would flow out of the cave after seven days. Is this the arrangement of the city lord?"

Qi Yoyo asked, pointing to the busy scene in the embankment.

"Yes. Zhao Quan nodded and said, "After the city lord learned that we had found a water source and understood the situation, he immediately ordered the construction of a dam here. A total of 10,000 soldiers came, 3,000 soldiers were in charge of guarding the perimeter, and no one was allowed to approach, and 7,000 soldiers threw off their arms and worked hard, and only rested for two hours from yesterday afternoon to now, and the embankment has begun to take shape, and if everything goes well, it will be completed within seven days. ”

Qi Yoyo frowned slightly: "With such fanfare, I'm afraid it has already attracted everyone's attention." ”

"Not really. Zhao Quandao, his expression became serious, and he said in a heavy tone: "The city lord is a soldier under the guise of rescuing the young master of Changkong, and the major forces should not be able to react in a short time." ”

Qi Yoyo suddenly chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the second brother?"

"Young Master Changkong was suddenly attacked by a big-toothed dog when he was inspecting Yanbei, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Zhao Quan gritted his back molars and said hatefully.

"What?!" Qi Yoyo was like a thunderbolt from the sky, his face turned pale as paper, and he asked with difficulty: "Is there no news at all?"

Zhao Quan shook his head and said, "I only know that Young Master Changkong was seriously injured and fled into the Hundred Desolation Mountain, and there has been no news since then. The city lord said that the young master of the sky has the magical power of a blind uncle to protect his life, and he will not worry about his life, so let the young lady not worry. ”

"Damn Big Tooth Dog!" Hearing the words "Big Tooth Dog", Niu Dawa immediately became angry, her face was hideous, and her eyes were full of hatred.

Zhang Xiaopaw was also aura, full of anger and hatred, and his fists were creaking. If he hadn't known where the Bigtooth Dog was, he would have rushed to the Bigtooth Dog for revenge.

Qi Yoyo eased his emotions and asked, "How many days have you been?"

"It's been almost four days. Zhao Quan replied.

"Four days?" Qi Yoyo frowned and groaned, his brain was running rapidly, and said: "Although this Hundred Desolate Mountains are big, it is impossible to have no news in four days, unless it is premeditated. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Zhao Quan, puzzled.

"An ambush that was premeditated and determined to be successful. Qi Yoyo said in an affirmative tone, "But because they underestimated the second brother, or other unexpected circumstances, their ambush failed, allowing the second brother to escape." They were afraid that we would come to the rescue when they got the news, so they chased and erased the traces so that we had nowhere to look. It must be so, otherwise it would not be possible to go without any news for four days. It has to be!"

Qi Yoyo was extremely sure of his guess.

"Baihuang Mountain?" Qi Yoyo frowned deeply, and paced back and forth with the name of Baihuang Mountain in her mouth, and the whole geography of Baihuang Mountain appeared in her mind.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath, for fear of disturbing Qi Yoyo's thinking.

Suddenly, Qi Yoyo's footsteps stopped, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed, looked at Zhao Quan and ordered, "Zhao Quan, can you order five hundred elites for me?"

"This-" Zhao Quan didn't hesitate, his expression was embarrassed: "Miss, the city lord has specially instructed that the Hundred Desolate Mountains are already dangerous, and let you go back to Yancheng immediately after you come out." Miss, have you already speculated where the young master of the sky is, it is better to tell your subordinates, and your subordinates will bring people to the rescue. ”

"Okay, I got it. Qi Yoyo nodded, and then said, "Zhao Quan, arrange for the injured to heal and rest." Qu Kai, you four come with me. ”

Zhao Quan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he knew Qi Yoyo's temperament very well, he had expected it to be like this, but he still couldn't help but slander in his heart: "What do you understand, what do you understand?"

"Miss, give me a cup of tea, and I'll order five hundred elites. Zhao Quan reluctantly gave in, and his heart was ready to go back and be reprimanded by Qi Wuwei.

"I'm tired of Brother Zhao. Qi Yoyo smiled and showed a victorious smile, then looked at Qu Kai and ordered: "Qu Kai, the four of you will arrange for the injured to heal and rest, and use the best pills." ”

"Miss Xie!" Qu Kai said.

"Chunlan, you stay to take care of Gongzi Zhou, Gongzi Zhou's vitality is seriously injured, arrange for Gongzi to go to Tingyaxuan in the Second City of the North to rest and heal, and use the best medicine. Qi Yoyo commanded again.

"Yes. Although Chunlan was reluctant and wanted to follow Qi Yoyo, she could only obediently accept her order when she saw Qi Yoyo's irrefutable eyes.

Qi Yoyo looked at Zhang Xiaopu and asked, "Zhang Gongzi, can you help?"

"Kill the big tooth dog, and I'm very happy. Zhang Xiaopaw said in a deep voice.

"I'll go too!" Niu Dawa volunteered.

"Thank you both!"

In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Quan ordered five hundred elites, and Qi Yoyo gave an order to march to the northwest.

......

Thirty miles away is a low-lying swamp of bad water, but since the great drought, the bad water swamp has long been out of water, and only the dry ground remains.

At noon, in the midst of the dead reeds of the Badwater Swamp, there were a dozen bloodied men, dressed in the standard armor of the army, but all of them were in tatters.

The tragic condition of this team shows that they have experienced several fierce battles of life and death.

"Childe, the second child has lost his breath!" Suddenly, a suppressed and low wail sounded in the reeds.
