Chapter 494: Heavy Rain
……
The weather in the grassland is as changeable as the mood of a young girl, the sun is still scorching at noon, and in the afternoon, it rains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the soldiers had to stop their work and hide in their tents, complaining incessantly.
Lingfeng (Wu Fan), Lu Hong and Zhang Feng were treated much better than those soldiers, the three of them shared a large tent, which had three beds, a table, three chairs, and a red wool carpet spread on the ground, which was soft and soft when stepped on, completely isolating the moisture from the ground.
The three of them sat down at the table with sad faces, and the rain crackled on the tent.
"It's a good day, why did it suddenly rain, if it doesn't stop, the project will be delayed." That Lu Hongdao.
"Well, if the Huada people blame it, we can't afford to take this responsibility." Zhang Fengdao.
"Why don't we let them dry in the rain?" Lu Hongdao.
Wu Fan frowned, shook his head and said: "The rain is so heavy, and whether it can continue or not, even if you can, let the soldiers work against the heavy rain, there will definitely be many people who will get sick because of this, we are traveling lightly, and we don't even have a military doctor, do you two want these brothers to die?" ”
"It's better to die than to delay the project." That Lu Hong squeezed the little triangular eyes and snorted coldly.
Since he and Zhang Feng were promoted to chiefs, Wu Fan, the old commander, has always looked at the two of them unhappy, and every time the three of them get together, they will break up unhappily without saying a few words.
Wu Fan slapped the table and said sharply: "Lu Hong, do you know what you are talking about?" In order to avoid punishment, you joked with your brother's life, have you forgotten that you were just an ordinary soldier before. ”
Ling Feng sneered, this Lu Hong is really a guy who has forgotten his roots, he has only been promoted for a few days, and he has almost forgotten who he is, he really has to remind Wu Fan to remind him.
"So what? The construction period is delayed, and the responsibility is borne by you? Lu Hong was not convinced, slapped the table fiercely, suddenly stood up, and said angrily.
Wu Fan also stood up, grabbed Lu Hong, and said coldly: "If you dare to give an order today, I will kill you." ”
"You dare!" Lu Hong punched Wu Fan in the corner of his eye and said at the same time.
Wu Fan easily dodged Lu Hong's punch, and was about to make a real lesson for him, Hua Longfei suddenly entered the tent, "You two, what are you doing?" ”
"Huada, the two of them have this temper, they usually like to fight when no one is around, and they don't hurt their anger." Zhang Feng was taken aback when he saw Hua Longfei, and secretly wondered, had what they said before already been heard by him? But he still pretended to be calm and said immediately.
Wu Fan and Lu Hong immediately stopped, bowed their heads to Hua Longfei, and said respectfully: "I've seen Hua Daren." ”
Hua Longfei stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at them lightly, and said: "We are a family, you fight like this, I am afraid that it will ruin the harmony, in this case, don't let me see it again." ”
"Yes, yes." Lu Hong and Wu Fan connected.
"Huada, are you in trouble?" Zhang Fengdao.
Hua Longfei nodded and said, "I'm going to go to the Barren Temple, and I'll leave it to you for the time being." ”
"Please rest assured." Wu Fan and the three of them said at the same time.
"Wu Fan, after I leave, you will take charge of all affairs in my place first, and if anyone dares to disobey, the military law will deal with it." Hua Longfei turned around and walked out of the tent.
Zhang Feng and Lu Hong glanced at each other, unconvinced, each snorted coldly, and sat down on the chair.
Wu Fan looked proud, sat down slowly, and said, "You two heard that, right?" ”
"What do you hear?"
"Do you really think that if Huada is gone, you will be the boss?"
That Zhang Feng and Lu Hong said a word, got up and went to the bed and lay down.
Wu Fan got up and went to the door, opened the curtain, the rain had already become a piece, white, and lightning crossed the sky from time to time.
Wu Fan couldn't help but glance in the direction of the big lake, he was now very worried, such a heavy rain, the lake would rise, flooding the shore, and then not only would they not be able to continue the project, but those soldiers would also be drowned.
"I just hope this rain will stop soon." Wu Fan muttered.
The rain continued into the evening and showed no signs of stopping.
Many soldiers have begun to worry that the lake will spread to the shore and flood their tents, and that there will be soldiers inside who will brave the rain to get out of their tents and go to the lake to check.
To their relief, the ditches they had dug worked at this time, diverting the water from the lake into the distance, and when they returned to their tents, they explained the situation to everyone, and the soldiers were also at ease.
At this time, they prayed that the rain would fall harder, so that they would not have to work.
When the heavy rain continued to fall, Wu Fan also went out of the tent to the lake several times to check, he was completely unaware that the lake would flood the shore, and now he was worried about whether the remains of the ancient demon dragon at the bottom of the lake would float to the water? In that way, he could quickly collect the remains of the ancient demon dragon while there was no one.
It's just that until the rain stopped in the morning, there was no such situation as Lingfeng imagined.
It rained heavily for half a day and a night, almost knocking down all the tents, which looked wet and steaming in the sun.
And on the grass, there are still waves of waves, reflecting the dazzling sun's rays, and the leaves are covered with water droplets, and looking into the distance, the whole big lake has expanded a circle, and the lake has been spreading to the edge of the nearest tent.
The seven drainage ditches were filled with water, as if they were thirsty, and they no longer flowed, and the water seemed to be extremely clear.
People came out of their tents, breathed in the humid air, saw the seven water-filled drains, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The drain is now in its current state, and there must be no way to continue digging it, and if you want to continue, you have to drain the water in it, and then wait for the soil to dry before you can dig it.
However, the soil has already eaten through the rain, and if you want to wait for it to dry completely, you have to wait at least six or seven days, and the soldiers can wait, but Hua Longfei can't afford to wait.
After Wu Fan checked the situation of the drainage ditch, he immediately ordered to start digging from the back to drain the water, although the soldiers were unwilling, they were all lazy, but they had no choice but to work.
While they were digging, Hua Longfei came with the other three senior brothers and the three elders of Qingyu Valley.
After checking the situation, Hua Longfei immediately frowned and called Wu Fan, Lu Hong and Zhang Feng over.
All three of them had sad faces, and stood on the ground, not saying a word.
By this time, there was nothing they could do to keep the project going.
Hua Longfei's face was ugly, and after a while, he eased up a little and said, "It's none of your business, you are doing a good job, let them drain first, and the three of you will come with us." ”
followed Hua Long Fei into the tent, except for Wu Fan and the others, several other people sat down one after another, and Hua Long Fei said: "Master, what do you think should be done next?" ”
Wu Fan followed the sound and looked at Zhao Fang, his eyes were slightly frozen, this black-haired old man was the target he wanted to assassinate, Zhao Fang seemed to have sensed it, and also looked at Wu Fan, Wu Fan immediately lowered his head.
"His cultivation is really so high that I can't see through it." Ling Feng said secretly in his heart, his fists clenched secretly.
He cautiously glanced at the three young men again, those three, whether in temperament or strength, are not inferior to Hua Longfei at all, all of them are top masters, then Zhao Fang has these four masters by his side, and it is difficult to assassinate him.
"Yin'er, are you sure?" Zhao Fang looked at the young man who looked quite handsome and said.
"Master, don't worry, such a trivial matter will not be difficult for me." Tian Yin smiled and said, Zhao Fang's meaning is to let him use the best fire control method to control the supreme true fire and evaporate the water in the seven drainage ditches, so that the project can continue.
He was the only one among Zhao Fang's disciples who could control the soul fire, so Zhao Fang would naturally choose to let him make a move.
Zhao Fang nodded and did not speak.
Tian Zhao got out of the tent, rose into the air, stepped on the void, and said loudly: "You guys retreat to the distance first." ”
Those soldiers looked at Tian Yin in awe, immediately stopped what they were doing, lined up, and retreated to a very far distance.
They are very much looking forward to what it will be like if the immortals make a move?
Tian Yin picked up his left hand, a red dot appeared in the sky above the palm, the red dot quickly enlarged, and with a loud breath, it turned into a red flame, he raised his right hand again, inserted his five fingers into the red flame, and after a while, he pulled it out, and the five extremely thin lines of fire were pulled out of the flame by the five fingers, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into seven.
"Go!"
Tian Yin waved his right hand, and the flame on his left hand all differentiated into the seven lines of fire, turned into seven tongues of fire, and accurately fell into the seven drainage ditches.
The moment it fell into the water, the soul fire was not extinguished, but it quickly expanded into seven red fire dragons as if it had encountered oil.
The flames were burning, constantly evaporating the water in the drainage ditch, and after a few breaths, the water had been evaporated, and the water in the soil was also evaporated by the extremely high temperature flame, and the weeds around the drainage ditch also quickly withered.
Seeing that the weeds were about to burn and start a fire, Tian Yin stretched out his hand, and the seven fire dragons turned into seven slender lines of fire, which disappeared into his palm.
Those soldiers were dumbfounded, they were all first-time cultivators who had cultivated to a strong immortal cultivator, and the ability to turn into fire at will really made them envious and secretly excited, when would they be able to walk in the air and wave their hands into flames like Tian Yin?
Tian Yin didn't care about the adoring gaze of those ordinary mortals, glanced at them, and said lightly: "The project continues." ”
The figure flickered, and he entered the tent again.
"The trouble is solved." Tian Yin returned to his seat, nodded at Zhao Fang, and said.
"Very good, Hua'er, how long is it expected that the project will be completed until the project is completed?" Zhao Fangdao.
Hua Long Fei said: "Back to Shizun, it will take at least three months. ”
"Three months." Zhao Fang said secretly, he also knew that this was not a small project, it could not be completed overnight, it was only three months, which was too long, and he had to find a way to shorten the construction period.
"Master, the apprentice has always had something unclear." Hualong Flying Road.
"Please." Zhao Fang said very kindly.
"Since you want to dig a diversion ditch and let the second senior brother make a move, it only takes a moment to complete it, why waste time on this?" Hualong Flying Road.
Zhao Fang glanced at Wu Fan, Lu Hong, and Zhang Feng, and thought about it, there are some things, let them know, it doesn't hurt, "You don't know, the things below here are extraordinary, if you make a random move, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of movement, and if other sects come at that time, we Qingyu Valley ......"
"Hua'er understands." Hualong Flying Road.
"Master, what's going on with that?" Hua Longfei was silent for a while, and then asked.
Since he arrived in the Yuma Grassland, he camped outside the Barren View with the other three senior brothers, and did not go up the mountain with Zhao Fang, there are some things, they naturally don't know, and now Hua Longfei is more concerned about whether Qingyu Valley has reached a cooperative relationship with the Barren Temple.
Zhao Fang coughed, this kind of thing, naturally, can't let the three outsiders present know.
Hua Longfei immediately understood what Zhao Fang meant, and said, "Master, I see that these brothers are working hard all day long, and they are very hard, and they should be rewarded." ”
Zhao Fang nodded and said, "This matter is up to you." ”
"Yes, Master." Hualong Flying Road.
"You three are the leading officers, aren't you?" Zhao Fang's gaze stopped at Wu Fan, Lu Hong, and Zhang Feng, and said.
"Yes, I've seen Lord Zhao." The three of them immediately said.
"If you don't dislike it, just call me Uncle Zhao, it's all a family." Zhao Fang suddenly smiled very kindly and said.
Although the three of them didn't understand what Zhao Fang's smile meant, they were still very polite, and Wu Fan said first: "Lord Zhao, you are polite." ”
"You three step forward, I have something to say." Zhao Fang beckoned to them and said.
The three of them walked in front of Zhao Fang, still keeping their heads down, except for Wu Fan who was able to keep his composure, Zhang Feng and Lu Hong were very nervous, and they couldn't help but tremble when they saw a big man like Zhao Fang.
"Don't be afraid, three of you." Zhao Fang glanced at Wu Fan more and said in a harmonious voice.
"These days, you have worked hard for my Qingyu Valley, and I have already written to the general, and he has allowed you to join my Qingyu Valley, and from now on, the three of you will be my disciples." Zhao Fang said again.
That Lu Hong and Zhang Feng almost jumped up with joy, they all dreamed of joining Qingyu Valley, but they didn't expect that today's dream came true, and it was already their luxury to become a disciple of Qingyu Valley, not to mention that Zhao Fang opened his mouth to personally accept them as apprentices.
No matter why Zhao Fang did this, he promised him first.
Lu Hong and Zhang Feng said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Zhao." ”
Wu Fan (Lingfeng) was expressionless, Zhao Fang, this old thing, would not accept three mortals without any wisdom as apprentices for no reason, he must have some purpose, and Lu Hong and Zhang Feng were still complacent, I don't know why.
"Wu Fan, you don't seem to be very willing." Look for Hualong Feidao on the side.
Wu Fan immediately laughed and said, "I am naturally very willing to become a disciple of Lord Zhao, but I don't have any big ambitions, and I don't want to set foot in the cultivation of immortals since I was a child, for fear that I will disappoint Zhao Dacong." ”
Zhao Fang glanced at Wu Fan and said, "Wu Fan, what are your concerns?" ”
Wu Fan smiled and said: "Lord Zhao, you misunderstood, I'm thinking now, should I still call you Lord Zhao, or call you Master?" ”
"Didn't you say that you didn't have any big ambitions since you were a child? Why have you changed your tune now? Lu Hong snorted and said extremely dissatisfied.
"What does my business have to do with you?" Wu Fan said coldly.
Zhao Fang laughed and said, "You three, it's really interesting." ”
"Master!" The three of them knelt down at the same time, kowtowed, and said in unison.
Zhao Fang stroked his beard and nodded, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said, "You go down first, I have something to say to your senior brother." ”
"Yes." The three of them nodded again and again, and happily walked out of the tent.
"Master, why do you want to take these three wastes as apprentices?" Tian Yin's face was displeased, he didn't understand very much why Zhao Fang did this.
Zhao Fang said lightly: "What do you plan to do after the project is completed?" ”
Tian Yin was stunned, he really didn't expect this, and shook his head.
Hua Longfei's eyes flashed with cold light, and his right hand was crossed in front of his neck, and he said, "Kill." ”
"After killing them, how do you explain to him?" Zhao Fang said suddenly.
Hua Longfei frowned, he made a difficulty, that character, but he was definitely not a master to mess with, even when he saw him at the head of Qingyu Valley, he also wanted to give him some face, an army of hundreds of people under his command disappeared when he said that he disappeared, and he disappeared under Zhao Fang's hands, with his character, he would definitely come to Zhao Fang to settle accounts.
That person can't be dealt with in a few words.
"You two only care about practicing on weekdays, but you neglect to read a lot of books, and you can't even see such a simple thing?" Yang Zangtian, who had not spoken, said suddenly.
"Senior brother, what do you think?" Hualong Flying Road.
"An army disappeared for no reason, and it is still in the hands of Shizun, that person will definitely personally find Shizun Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and then it will be Shizun, it is difficult to explain this matter, but there is a feasible way." Yangzang Heavenly Dao.
"What's the solution?" Hualong Flying Road.
Yang Zangtian sighed, he had already clicked here, but Hua Longfei still didn't understand, "The solution is very simple, just find a few scapegoats." ”
"Senior brother means to let the three of them act as scapegoats?" Hua Longfei finally understood, "It's just that they have already become my people from Qingyu Valley, how can they act as scapegoats?" ”
"Do you think the master will really take three wastes as apprentices? It's just that we stabilize him first, and then we can use a little means to ......" Yang Zangtian's eyes narrowed slightly, clenched his fists, and said.
On weekdays, it was Yang Zangtian who gave advice to Zhao Fang, to put it mildly, he was a dog-headed military advisor, and of course he planned some plans.
"Senior brother is really smart." Hua Longfei kept nodding and said.
"Okay, I'm going to be here for the next few days, and the four of you should take good care of those soldiers and don't let anyone escape." Zhao Fang closed his eyes and said lightly.
"Yes." Master, the four of them said in unison.
