The surrounding people were all pointing at the man on the cross, and their tones were full of resentment, and then they saw a Taoist priest coming out of the crowd, holding a whisk in his hand, with a long beard, and a gray Taoist robe showing that he had some fairy energy.

I saw him standing in front of the cross, his eyes closed, his mouth muttering, the fingers of his right hand constantly changing, and he was calculating something in a matter-of-fact manner.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he waved the dust and said, "The hour has come, and the sacrifice to the sky has begun." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed up, piled firewood on the cross, and then lit the wood with flint, and the flames instantly ignited, and the fire burned more and more.

Seeing this, Zhan Ge didn't care about anything, flew close to the yellow-robed man, cut the rope with his sword, and then led him away from the cross.

The onlookers didn't know what was going on, and the previous Taoist priest saw that someone came out to save the people who sacrificed to the sky, and after being shocked for a while, he reacted, and then shouted behind Zhan Ge, "Stop!" ”

"Who are you? How dare you disrupt our village's rituals to worship the heavens! ”

Everyone also looked at Zhan Ge in unison, and after he put the person down, he said unhurriedly, "What mistake did this person make, and you should be treated like this?" ”

"This person is the disaster of Wufang Village, if we don't sacrifice him to the sky, I'm afraid our village will really be flooded!" The Taoist priest said with a heartache, and his face was full of sadness.

His words won the hearts of everyone present, and at this time, the emotions of the people had been instantly ignited, and they all surrounded Zhan Ge, accusing, "Even if we don't sacrifice him to the sky to calm the anger of the sky, I'm afraid our Liangcheng will be flooded." ”

"That's right, you're so bold, aren't you afraid that God will punish you?!"

"I think he deliberately didn't let our Wufang Village have a good time, and the big guys dealt with him together." As he spoke, the people surrounded Zhan Ge tightly and glared angrily.

Zhan Ge was surrounded and breathless, and shook them away a little distance with his internal force, and then pulled the yellow-robed man back to the carriage, drew his sword, and said, "Stop, if you want to come over again, don't blame me for doing it." ”

The people, who were about to continue to surround him, stopped when they saw the sharp blade and looked at him with fear.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be so impulsive, the people in the village just hope that the village will be safe and the flood will recede." The Taoist priest walked up to the melee and explained.

Zhan Ge squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that your Liangcheng is still flooded?" ”

Seeing that the Taoist priest was still smiling and nodding, Zhan Ge heard that the evil qi on his body was somewhat restrained, and whispered to the emperor beside him, "Your Majesty, it seems that we have to solve the flood in this village before we can continue to go north." ”

Looking at this village that is almost flooded, the emperor agrees very much, they went north to investigate the cause of the flood, and now they see that some villages are experiencing flood difficulties, how can they sit idly by? !

"Okay, Zhan Ge, I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhan Ge replied, and then said to the people, "I have a way to control the flood in your village, but you must obey my command." ”

When everyone heard this, they talked a lot, and Zhan Ge stopped talking nonsense, and flew directly to the high ground, looking down on the entire village to check the situation.

The village is surrounded by a river called Lin Mai, and there is a large pond in the middle of the village, which is specially used to store water for the daily water of the villagers.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there is basically no shortage of water for people, but when there is strong wind and rain, the water reserves will skyrocket, and even the villages will be submerged, as is the case this time.

After Zhan Ge came down, he said to the villagers, "There is a way to deal with the flood, but fortunately, everyone has to work with me." ”

Seeing that Zhan Ge was willing to help them, and his attitude was so humble, they couldn't help but feel a sense of trust in their hearts, and said, "We all grew up doing farm work, we are not afraid of labor, as long as we can get rid of this flood." ”

Everyone replied one after another, Zhan Ge was very relieved to see this, glanced back at Yan Wushuang, and asked her to find a place to rest, Yan Wushuang understood in his heart, and gave him a reassuring look.

Seeing this, Zhan Ge took everyone to the river in the village, commanded everyone to dig the soil, and dredged the Lin Mai River and other tributaries in the village.

"Everyone's lucky, digging is done, and this flood is almost cured." Zhan Ge comforted on the side, and heard the other people deny it again and again, saying that it was not hard.

Zhan Ge was a little relieved, and flew to check the situation elsewhere again, and everyone's eyes widened when they saw this, and they felt that this person was really powerful!

Five days later, the connection between the two rivers had been dug up, and most of the flood had receded, and the villagers were overjoyed, grateful to Zhan Gena, and praised everywhere.

The emperor who was on a private patrol saw their praise for Zhan Ge, and was very happy for him in his heart, and was about to leave, but heard a very discordant voice.

"This strong man who controls the flood for us is much stronger than the emperor sitting in that palace, so many places in our north have been flooded, and I haven't seen him take any measures."

"That's right, in my opinion, the life in this palace is too comfortable, so that the emperor doesn't want to worry about the lives of our people."

"Maybe it's because he's incompetent!"

The people who were drinking in the teahouse talked about the emperor and took the opportunity to belittle him to nothing, but they didn't know that the person they were talking about was standing outside the teahouse.

The Emperor was full of anger when he heard this incomprehensible remark, and was about to reason with them forward, but he held back stiffly, clenched his fists and left the place softly.

On the way, I couldn't help but think back to what I had done before, and I had some doubts in my heart, was I really incompetent?

His changing expression was looked at by Zhan Ge and Yan Wu not far away, the two glanced at each other, followed, and stopped him where no one was.

"Your Majesty, don't take what the villagers said just now, you have done a lot for the people, and you are a good emperor." Yan Wushuang took the opportunity to comfort, afraid that he would not believe it, Zhan Ge also hurriedly helped, "Yes, Your Majesty, you usually deal with a lot of affairs, and you can't take care of everything, and you can't prevent malicious attacks from people with intentions." ”

Yan Wushuang felt that something was wrong when he heard Zhan Ge's words, and poked him with his elbow, Zhan Ge was puzzled, Yan Wushuang glared at him, and then said, "Your Majesty, this incident is just an exception, you care about the people, and when you heard that something happened in the north, you immediately paid a private visit, which is enough to show that you are very powerful." ”

As soon as you say a word to these two people, the emperor's originally depressed heart was instantly cleared, and then he said to Yan Wushuang with relief, "You are the best at talking." ”

Seeing that he was relieved, the two of them also smiled and looked very relaxed.

At night, the night was sultry, and the emperor sat melancholy under the moon, drinking alone, with some sadness in his eyes.

"You're in the mood to drink here!" Suddenly, a mocking voice came, and the emperor turned his head sharply, and saw a man in black standing behind him with his face covered, still holding a curved broadsword in his hand.

"Who are you?" The emperor asked in a cold voice, "What do I do and what do you have to do with me?!" ”

The man in black sneered, "I'm just here to remind you, don't believe in Zhan Ge too much, if you let him show off like this, I'm afraid his prestige will be even higher than yours." ”

The emperor was shocked, how did this person know his true identity?!

asked calmly, "Who do I want to believe, I have my own intentions, I don't need you to care, Your Excellency should go." ”

It's just a stranger sowing discord, how can he care!

"Haha, you also heard the words of the villagers today, they all worship Zhan Ge, this is only a small part, maybe other places in the north are supporting him, you should weigh it yourself!"

The last words of the man in black made the originally firm emperor shake a little, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was really incompetent as others said.

Just as he was about to ask clearly, he suddenly saw Zhan Ge who turned over, he was shocked, and suddenly looked back at the man in black, and found that his movements were faster, and he couldn't see the movements clearly, so Zhan Ge fell directly to the ground.

"Zhan Ge, you, what did you do?" The emperor was furious, turned around and scolded angrily, but heard the man in black sneer, and disappeared directly into the darkness.

The emperor couldn't, so he could only carry Zhan Ge into the house, let Yan Wushuang look at him, and went to the village to find a Lang Zhong by himself.

After the doctor came, he took the pulse, shook his head and sighed again and again, "The son of war should have been poisoned, but the old man has no choice, please forgive the old man for being incompetent." ”

When the two of them heard this, they were very anxious, and even more so, their hearts were full of desolation, and they couldn't help but think that it would be good if the phoenix was here.

The emperor looked at the pale-faced Zhan Ge, and felt very guilty in his heart, and came out of the courtyard to relax, and met the man in black not long ago, he gave the emperor a bottle of medicine, only dropped an antidote, and left.

The emperor rubbed the porcelain vase in his hand, full of confusion, and slowly paced to the side of the room, looking at Zhan Ge lying on the bed, hesitating.

Yan Wushuang saw that he had been wandering outside the house, and when the emperor saw her come out, he suddenly hid the medicine bottle behind him, helplessly, Yan Wushuang had excellent eyes, saw it, and asked out loud, "What is the emperor doing?" ”

"Nothing." He hurriedly covered up, Yan Wushuang saw the emperor's eyes dodging, and asked directly, "This is the antidote!" ”

The emperor wanted to say no, but her eyes were too stubborn, and she finally had to admit it.

After taking it to Zhan Ge, the poison immediately disappeared, and Zhan Ge quickly woke up, looked at the emperor sitting in front of him, and asked, "Do you know the emperor and the man in black just now?" ”

"I don't know!" The emperor said categorically that he had never seen this person.

Zhan Ge was still suspicious, "Then why am I poisoned, and why do you have an antidote in your hands?" ”

The emperor couldn't only listen to what the man in black said just now, he wanted to explain, but the two still didn't believe it, and the emperor could only say in the end, "That's it, let this matter go for the time being, it's important to control the flood, as for their so-called support for me or you, I'll talk about it later." ”
