Chapter 208

And at this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops who had been stationed outside Shengtong City suddenly retreated and retreated to a relatively high hillside in the rear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

His retreat not only did not relieve the pressure on Sheng Tongcheng, but made the news that the Dragon King was going to flood the whole city more and more confirmed.

On the stone city wall where the banners flew, several commander-in-chief generals with troops frowned. As soon as Yuan Hongxuan's soldiers and horses retreated, even those of them who had been ordered to cover up the rumors were a little panicked.

Is that news true? Otherwise, how could the enemy army in the distance, which was eager to resist with a human wall and also advance a foot forward, retreat? Still quit that far?

Shengtong City immediately has a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings.

On the other side, Yuan Hongxuan sent more people to work in the upper reaches of the river, blocking three of the several small rivers that began to diverge under the original waterfall, and the water level of the small river that originally flowed to Shengtong City immediately rose a lot, and even the water flow was a lot more turbulent.

On the ninth day, of course, the day-and-day work will not be in vain, as long as the special baffle is put into the remaining few rivers at the same time, then the only remaining river leading to Shengtong City will be greatly increased, creating a turbulent momentum.

It's rare to be in such a good mood, these days are busy, Yuan Hongxuan will take Miao Zhi to the mountains almost every day to keep an eye on it.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected half of the sky, and Yuan Hongxuan and Miao Zhi returned to the camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that several deputy generals and Qin Guan and others had all arrived, and Pan Yiqian was still sitting at the tea table not far from the door.

What's going on?

Miao Zhi followed behind Yuan Hongxuan, and subconsciously pulled the corner of his clothes.

Her inadvertent little action undoubtedly gave Pan Yiqian a dose of ruthless eye medicine, and her already not very good-looking face turned even redder at this time.

Since this woman came to the barracks, Yuan Hongxuan, who was originally willing to say a few words to her, now saw him, but he could hide, and if he couldn't hide, he was silent, so that all the efforts she had made before were in vain, how could she not hate.

This time the teacher moved the crowd, it turned out that Pan Yiqian learned that Yuan Hongxuan really wanted to flood Sheng Tongcheng, which provoked right and wrong. Originally, the method of using rumors to break people's hearts was deliberately made up by Yuan Hongxuan and them to bluff people, so in order to keep their mouths, except for his henchmen, the rest of the people had no idea about the specific details of this matter, and only knew to obey the boss's arrangement.

But when Pan Yiqian learned that the solution was what Miao Zhi thought, he was stunned to discuss an explanation with Yuan Hongxuan in front of everyone.

"Boss, isn't this the same as what the eldest lady thinks? Besides, this flooding of the same city is equivalent to slaughtering the city, which is much more vicious than drugged! ā€

It was a deputy general of the Pan Jiajun named Yuan Yan who stood up to speak for Pan Yiqian. As he spoke, his eyes had already drifted to Miao Zhi behind Yuan Hongxuan.

Yuan Hongxuan didn't like others to look at Miao Zhi with this kind of slightly playful and inquiring eyes, his face sank, and his body moved, blocking the person's sight.

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense." Yuan Hongxuan's hoarse voice was obviously displeased, and he didn't intend to explain to everyone at all, he just shook the cloak behind him, and Wu Zi was about to pull Miao Zhi away.

"Yuan Hongxuan, don't deceive people too much. You said that you didn't want to involve the people, but I listened, so you don't need the way I want to go. But what are you doing now? Is it because she thought of the method, even if you are willing to slaughter the city? Pan Yiqian's tone was fierce, he bounced up from his chair and came to Miao Zhi in a few steps, and his outstretched fingers were only half an inch away from poking Miao Zhi's face.

When she said this, except for Qin Guan and Lin Feng, the other lieutenant generals all looked at Miao Zhi with frowns. Just for this vicious woman? Would the boss rather slaughter the city than choose the eldest lady's method of slightly casualty?

"Have you had enough?" Yuan Hongxuan pushed her eye-catching fingers away, his gaze was deep and cold, and Miao Zhi could clearly feel that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.

Before he could say anything more, Miao Zhi gently tugged at his sleeve and walked out from behind him with a smile.

"Generals, Miss Pan. You misunderstood me. The woman's voice was sweet, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she walked to everyone generously, "This matter has been hidden from you because the rumors are artificially fabricated by us, and the less people know, the better." Tomorrow is the ten-day period, and Hongxuan planned to tell you all the details after dinner. As for the flooding of the whole city, it was used to frighten people. ā€

The woman was dressed in lotus root powder, and Lianbu easily reached the map in front of the table, and with a little fingertips as thin as green and white, she pointed to the upper reaches of the river, "This is a waterfall formed by a large river pouring down from the mountain," she moved her finger down slightly, and said again: "When I arrived here, I was separated by most of the large boulders, silt and vegetation, forming several branching small rivers. If we block the rivers at the same time, we will be able to create the illusion that the dragon king will be angry and flood the whole city. When the city gates are wide open and the people are scattered and fleeing, just let go of the blocked rivers together, it's not at all what you think is really going to flood the city! ā€

The woman's creamy hibiscus always had a smile on her face, and after an explanation, she returned to Yuan Hongxuan's side.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Hearing this, several commanders and deputy generals who were originally prejudiced against Miao Zhi praised them again and again, and they had to admire Miao Zhi's whimsy.

The general who stood up to accuse Miao Zhi before also straightened his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Miao Zhi.

Pan Yiqian, who was standing on the side, also lost the high-spirited and inscivious energy of Fang Cai at this time, only staring at Miao Zhi with a pair of unkind eyes, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides.

The turmoil subsided, Miao Zhi returned to her tent, and Yuan Hongxuan began to discuss the details of tomorrow with the others.

When he came out of the big tent, Pan Yiqian deliberately hit Miao Zhi hard with his shoulder. Looking at the angry back, Miao Zhi could only pout and smile, this Pan Yi is shallow, and he is really a child.

On the tenth day, with all the people in the city in fear, more soldiers were sent over the city gates to reconcoite the movement of the river.

There were no major fluctuations, and although the water level in the river had risen somewhat, it could not reach the point of flooding Shengtong City.

The sun was shining and it was a nice day.

Not far from the majestic waterfall, Miao Zhi stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Sheng Tongcheng in the distance, with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth. Leaning slightly, he nodded slowly towards Lin Feng, who was standing behind him.

"Put." Lin Feng's voice came from behind, and then a few loud "plop" sounds were heard. On the other side, a pyrotechnic bomb also took off into the air, exploding in the sky. (To be continued.) )
