Walking down the street with an oil-paper umbrella, it is difficult to see pedestrians as far as the eye can see, and almost no one wants to come out in the rain unless it is necessary in such bad weather. It was only a short walk, and Shen Ming's shoes and trousers and even the lower part of his gown were already soaked.

Shen Ming knew that the garrison of the Divine Killing Turchariots, the capital had always not allowed the army to be stationed, if it weren't for the previous siege of foreign enemies, even the practice of not allowing it outside the city was broken, and the military camp stationed ten miles outside the capital at this time was the base camp of the Divine Killing Cavalry.

Out of the city gate, Shen Ming had already thought through everything, before coming to the barracks, looking at this mighty continuous barracks, there were two soldiers in robes standing outside the military camp, standing straight and letting the rain hit him.

"Master Jun, the grass people want to ask to see Huo Qing, I wonder if Master Jun can pass it on?"

One of the soldiers turned his head and looked at Shen Ming with an impatient expression, this ordinary person who was dressed ordinarily and could no longer be ordinary. Seeing this, the original impatient expression became even more impatient, and he turned back directly and didn't plan to deal with it.

"Master Jun, the grass people want to ask to see Huo Qing, I wonder if Master Jun can pass it on?" Shen Ming repeated.

The soldier turned his head extremely impatiently and said, "The name of the Lord of the Division is something that you and other ordinary people can call casually?" Go aside! ”

"Rank?" Shen Ming repeated, he finally realized that Huo Qing at this time was already a military general under the sixth grade, and his military rank was Huaihua Division. "Then dare to ask the two of you to take the trouble to pass on Huo Sijie, and say that his senior brother wants to see him."

At this time, the soldier's eyes lit up on the other side and said, "Senior brother? Which brother? ”

Shen Ming naturally understood that Qingshan Academy at this time was already a rebel in people's mouths, and it would not be beneficial to himself or Huo Qing to mention it. So Shen Ming had no choice but to take out a money bag from his waist and hand it to one of the soldiers, although this action was very unskillful.

After taking the money bag, the soldier weighed it and was quite satisfied, so he said leisurely: "Wouldn't it have saved so much trouble if you had done this earlier?" Really! You wait here, I'll pass it on. ”

Shen Ming took a deep breath, he had been in Qingshan Academy for too long, he seemed to be a stranger to the people in this world, Du Shaoyin had already reminded him before he came, but he was still ashamed to do such a thing. Master, Master, although your old man did educate the disciples not to cut off the connection with Hongchen, the disciples have really been too unfamiliar with human affairs and sophistication in the academy for so many years.

Shen Ming quickly adjusted his thoughts to the right thing, he had already typed a draft along the way, how to speak after meeting Huo Qing, and how to explain what Jiang Weizhen had discovered in the shortest possible time.

While he was thinking about it, he saw the soldier come out, and he had been following behind a burly man who walked like the wind. Getting closer, Shen Ming saw clearly that the person at the head was Huo Qing, Huo Qing with a red face and full of energy.

Huo Qing also saw Shen Ming, and immediately burst into a smile, ran forward and took Shen Ming's hands and said excitedly, "Senior Brother Shen! I really haven't seen you in a long time, why are you here? Oh, by the way, it's raining so hard outside, let's stop standing here and talking, come in with me! ”

The two soldiers obviously didn't expect that the arrivals would be so valued by Huo Qing, and the two of them couldn't help but bow their heads at this moment. Shen Ming didn't have time to deal with them, he followed Huo Qing to the military tent.

This is Huo Qing's private military tent, although the furnishings are simple, it can be seen that they are Huo Qing's personal belongings. Huo Qing beckoned Shen Ming to sit down, and immediately made him a full cup of hot tea, and with the aroma of the tea soup, the conversation box between the two of them could be regarded as open.

"Senior Brother Shen, I've lost your news for too long, and I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to the door. By the way, where are you now, senior brother? ”

Looking at Huo Qing's excited appearance, Shen Ming's thoughts also returned to when he was in Qingshan Academy, he remembered Huo Qing's temperament, he knew that Huo Qing had always wanted to get ahead, and Huo Qing's nature was not bad. However, Shen Ming also heard some things about Huo Qing, and looking at Huo Qing's military rank at the moment, Shen Ming still decided to be less polite and finish the business first.

"We have a place to stay, Huo Qing, I came today because I want to ask for your help."

"Where did Senior Brother Shen come from? Anything I can do to help, brother, just ask! ”

"Huo Qing, you see that the heavy rain outside has been raining for many days, and the water has risen to a very high water level, once the river backs up, Huazhou and the capital will be in danger of being flooded."

Huo Qing's originally eager face changed suddenly, not because he was stunned when he heard the news, but because he felt that what Shen Ming said was like a fantasy.

"Senior Brother Shen, this water originates from the high mountains and flows through these cities along the terrain, obviously the terrain of the capital is the highest, how can there be a danger of river water backing up?"

"If the people of the Lower Tang Dynasty build a levee to surround all the rising rivers in one place, and then the rain will dig the dam, then the higher terrain will no longer be Huazhou and Beijing."

"How can this happen? Could it be that the Tang people have been secretly filling in the dike? No, I didn't notice it when I went there the other day. ”

"Huo Qing, I've seen everything you did that night. At first, I was very much in agreement with your approach, but after being mentioned, I thought that you might have been used by the Tang people. ”

"Senior Brother Shen, what do you mean by this?"

It was precisely because of the scuttling of the ship at night that Huo Qing was exceptionally promoted to the rank of Huaihua Division under the sixth grade, which was his greatest military achievement in a period of time, and this was the capital he was proud of. But at this moment, Shen Ming thought that his behavior was wrong, and Huo Qing was unacceptable in his heart, but fortunately, he still had the patience to listen to Shen Ming's explanation.

Shen Ming explained Jiang Weizhen's speculation to Huo Qing in detail, generally speaking, the people of the Tang Dynasty should have predicted that Daliang would encounter heavy rain for several days after entering the early spring, and they had already secretly found an opportunity to rebuild that section of the curved river, and the reconstructed river channel became a dam, and at the same time did the same work in another place downstream, so that a high lake was artificially formed. As the heavy rain continued, the amount of water in the lake would continue to increase, and Huo Qing's scuttled ships just provided a certain interception position for Bingzhou City, which could protect Bingzhou when the embankment was dug up.

Huo Qing was also born in Qingshan Academy, although he was best at hand-to-hand combat, but he had also studied the content of Kanyu, and Shen Ming's explanation was obviously difficult for him to accept.

"Senior Brother Shen, I have always admired you, but I don't agree with your judgment on this matter." Shen Ming didn't tell Jiang Weizhen, and Huo Qing thought that this was Shen Ming's own judgment. "Senior brother, have you been to the location downstream, are you sure that such a high lake exists?"

Shen Ming shook his head.

"So senior brother, have you seen the Tang people build a dam around the lake with your own eyes?"

Shen Ming still shook his head.

"Then how did Senior Brother come to this conclusion?"

Huo Qing was forgivable for not believing it, in fact, Shen Ming himself didn't believe it at the beginning, he and Jiang Weizhen just looked at it in the hazy night outside Huazhou City, and everything after that was Jiang Weizhen's own speculation. Now, it is unreasonable to rely on one person's guess to make sense of others and offer help.

"Huo Qing, it would naturally be best if this incident didn't happen, but I still have to remind you. There is also a possibility that the Divine Slayer Riders are stationed outside the city and will be flooded by the river, and I would like you to talk to your boss about this. ”

"Senior brother, the barracks have always been true and accurate, and I can't tell the boss about your speculations. I still ask the senior brother to understand this. ”

For Huo Qing's refusal, Shen Ming had already expected it, he had always been reluctant to say more useless words. At this point, there was no need to continue struggling, Shen Ming got up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave." ”

Seeing that Shen Ming was about to leave, Huo Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, I really can't help with this matter, and please don't be surprised, senior brother." ”

"It's okay, I've delayed you too much, so I'd better take my leave."

Huo Qing didn't hold on anymore, so he accompanied Shen Ming to the outside of the camp, Huo Qing wanted to say something more, but Shen Ming didn't stop any longer and turned away. Huo Qing looked at Shen Ming's back, and waited for a while before returning to the barracks, he didn't return to his tent, he went straight to see Wengu.

"Commander!"

"Oh, Huo Qing is here, come in."

Ever since Huo Qing gave the God Killer Rider a good face, Wengu's attitude towards him has obviously eased a lot. Huo Qing walked into the camp tent and saw that the third person of the Tantai family, the Tantai Katriat, was also at the scene.

"Just say what you have to say, the third brother is my military advisor!"

"Returning to the commander, the last general has discovered something that may be extremely dangerous."
