Chapter XXVI

This old Jianghu is really scheming, and if he wants to skip me and not deal with me, if he meets the Martian General Flag directly, he is afraid that the fish in his hand will swim away, so he will leave them behind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss Lao, see our general banner face to face, I'm afraid of inconvenience, I don't hide it, we Huoyue people are not good at dealing with other foreigners, you are so reckless to go, I'm afraid that you will stay in the barren mountains and mountains tonight, although your father and son are nothing, but Mrs. Zun and Miss are afraid that they can't stand it, therefore, you first follow me into the camp, rest in my camp tent, and then I will go to talk to the general banner, so it's not too late, as for what horse thieves, you don't have to worry at all, as long as you can afford the price, no matter how much, Our brave and warlike Fire Moon warriors will be dealt with for you, keeping you safe and sound. "I have reached the gate of the camp, and I am not afraid that they will turn around and leave, so I have made my intentions clear.

"As long as it is something that can be solved by gold and silver, it is easy to say, but although Lao has a thin family, he is in a hurry to flee, and he doesn't have much to bring, and I hope that the military master will not open his mouth, if this catastrophe can be overcome, Lao must prepare another big gift, not Lao Mou said big words, as long as I am given a stable environment, I can produce a lot of gold and silver in gold and silver, and it must be more than the amount that the military master wants now." Where is Lao Bo still anxious and worried, he is completely unfazed, calm and calm, which makes people look respectable and terrifying.

"Boss Lao, what do you think of my fire spirit, I am purely for your safety, I don't want you to die tragically under the poisonous hands of the whale shark pirates, it is completely reasonable to charge a little reward, we are not bandits who have plucked their feathers, we are the dragon army appointed by the king to resist the invasion of the whale shark pirates, justice and peace." I said it in a solemn and solemn manner.

"That's very good, if Lord Fire Spirit just needs a little payment, Lao Mou should not be stingy." Lao Bo is an old man who has seen strong winds and waves, and knows that we can only follow our wishes when we take advantage of the fire, otherwise, if the money is gone, we will return our lives, but it is really a waste of life in this life.

This kind of encounter has long been expected by him, and he has also prepared the gift to the Fire Moon Camp, he just doesn't want to take it out so quickly, most people are greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, so they can only think about it slowly, and they can't be anxious.

When I quietly saw a few boxes on the carriage, I did have the idea of killing them for more money, but if I really wanted to do it, I couldn't do it, I didn't even dare to give this order, it was too cruel to kill people for a little yellow and white thing, just extort them some gold and silver, and there was no need to kill people.

I thought so, and planned how to extort more gold and silver from Lauber, but Laubo concealed their guilt and wanted to give less gold and silver in order to get by.

The sky suddenly darkened a lot, and before evening, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, making a sneering and piercing sound, and then, a big thunder exploded in the sky above Donghai County like five thunderbolts, dozens of steps away, the rain of beans fell down, and it hurt a little to hit people's faces, and it was going to rain heavily.

Three lightning bolts in a row, sneering incessantly, after the lightning, there was a loud thunder, which lasted for a while, and finally, the downpour fell, and it was already evening.

This heavy rain undoubtedly cast a layer of haze over my Huoyue camp, and the haze in my heart, for fear that the whale shark pirates would take advantage of this day to raid the Extreme East Pass, so that the defense would be much more difficult, and the only one who was happy was Lauber, because he looked at the pouring rain and laughed there.

I came out of the tent of the Martian flag, and ran into my tent in the rain, and he stood at the mouth of the tent and watched the rain hit the sandy ground where there was already a pile of water, causing ripples and ripples.

At first I thought he was proud of getting the carriage into the camp as his wife's daughter's boudoir, but it wasn't.

"Boss Lao, what are you laughing at?" Laubo was visibly distracted, and I ran out of the back of the tent, and he didn't react for a moment.

Lao Bo ignored my questioning and said, "You don't feel that this rain is very special, the raindrops are as big as beans, such a heavy rain is rare in a hundred years, and since Lao Mou was sensible, he has never seen this torrential rain." ”

This rain is indeed heavy, however, I have seen such a heavy rain on the earth before, there is nothing unusual, so I sighed: "The rain is just big and nothing is terrible, what is terrible is that it lasts for a few days." ”

"I'm afraid that this rain won't stop for a few days, look at this dark clouds flying all over the sky, lightning and thunder, it seems that the sky has opened a hole, a bad omen." Laubo suddenly frowned again.

"How do you know it's going to rain for days, it's not so accurate." Scientists on Earth can only predict the weather for a day or two, and they can only say a rough idea, which is what the naked eye can see.

"Lao has nothing to do over the years, read a few books on astronomy and divination, and studied a little, this heavy rain will be nine times out of ten for several days, and a major flood will inevitably come a few days later." Lauber said with certainty.

"Mr. Lao, I'm afraid that you will have to spend money to stay in this cold camp in the past few days, but it is not that I insist on keeping you, but that God wills so." I came back from the general banner and talked about it for a while, but the general banner did not believe that good things would befall him, saying that they might be the people of the princes of the royal capital.

Suspicion is suspicion, but for the sake of calculation, no one chews his tongue to oppose the stay of the Laubo family in the camp, and I am allowed to assert it, and these days have really fulfilled Lauber's prediction, the torrential rain has been falling, and it has hardly stopped, you can imagine how terrible it is for the rivers to flood, the water to flow fast, and the floods to surge.

Although there was no flood in the Huoyue camp, however, there were a series of troublesome things, first of all, too much water had accumulated, the ditches around the camp tent were not dug wide and deep enough, and the water could not be drained away in time.

In addition, the stored dry firewood is not enough at all, and in the end, there is only some left in the cave that is usually used to store dry firewood, if it rains like this again, the dry firewood is gone, and the food can only be eaten raw, the more you eat, the less you eat, the less you use, the more you use it, then it is really the rhythm of waiting for death.

These days, I have been talking deeply with Lao Bo, and found that this fifty-year-old man is very knowledgeable, well-informed, and extremely intelligent, and is a genius who wastes money on business, although he has been chasing profits for most of his life, but that kind heart has not been completely extinguished, and he has fallen into sorrow when he talks about the heavy rain of the past few days.

He said: "At this time last year, when passing through the Chushui River, the river was silt piled up, the sediment was falling, the water and soil flowed, and the trees along the way were cut down to build houses and palaces. ”

"This is not a question we think, natural and man-made disasters have been inevitable since ancient times, and Chushui River is the boundary of which county." I asked, puzzled.

"It starts in Hanzhong County, runs through Houlin County, passes through Musu County, passes through Tokai County, and flows eastward along the river into the sea." Lauber looked at me thoughtfully and said, his eyes shining as if he was plotting against me.

"Isn't it ...... to merge into the sea?" Wouldn't the pirates be able to go up the river and go straight to the Forte of these counties?

"Lord Huoling is thinking that the pirates should not go up the river and plunder the Forte of these counties," Laubo explained, "The pirates will not take such a big risk to plunder Donghai County, Donghai County is built on the Great Wave Lake, there are 10,000 sailors stationed there, and the number of whale shark pirates is 5,000 at most, if they dare to attack Donghai County, then they must be hungry and faint, otherwise there will be no such thing." ”

"Boss Lao seems that you are not a businessman chasing profits, but a wise man with a strategy, with a broad vision and a wide range of knowledge, but you are a great talent, and it is a pity that you are really a businessman." I sighed and admired.
