"You think so, Wu Chengsi is probably no exception, even if he is a little stupid, there are masters around him who plan for him, and he can think of anything that should be thought of." Li Rong said.

"According to what you said, the Snake Spirit Rebellion Hall has no chance to cause damage?" Yang Siqiao said, "Li Ruoxue, as a generation of grandmasters, claims to disrupt the sacrifice, how can she be helpless, this is unreasonable? ”

"In order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to solve the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army guarding the Imperial City, of course, tens of thousands of well-equipped soldiers are hard to shake head-on, and Li Ruoxue is not a great master of the Nine Grades, she must have a way to stop the forbidden army, or make the forbidden army unable to play a role." Li Rong said.

"Can she bribe the generals of the guards and make them defect?" Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.

"Say what?" Yang Siqiao frowned, "General Zhuwei are all loyal to the country, how can they turn against the enemy?" ”

"Are you stupid enough, like Jin Wuwei General Qiu Shenji, Jin Wuwei General Cheng Chubi, Yulin General Li Duozuo and others how to take refuge in Li Ruoxue?" Li Rong said, "Even if a few generals are bought, it is impossible for all the soldiers below to defect to the enemy." ”

"There are so many grandmasters and masters of the snake spirit, it should not be difficult to hide in the shadows, and it should not be difficult to break through the blockade of the soldiers and kill the altar at that time." Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.

"It may not be difficult for a few grandmasters to enter the altar, but it is not easy to escape," Yang Siqiao said, "When the day of the sacrifice comes, the masters of the palace and the army who come to participate in the sacrifice are like clouds, and there is a high chance that they can entangle several grandmasters and then surround them, I think the snake spirit Li Ruoxue will not be so reckless." If I were her, I wouldn't choose such a simple and calculating method. ”

"What does Brother Yang think Li Ruoxue will do?" Li Rong asked.

"I can't think of a specific method for the time being, but I think it should be related to Luoshui, in the art of war, the water attack can sometimes reach 10,000 troops, if Luoshui overflows and breaks through the embankment, no matter how many 100,000 soldiers can't stop it." Yang Siqiao looked at the slowly flowing Luo Shui in front of him and said.

"Now Luoshui is still a few feet away from the embankment, how can it soar over the embankment in just a few days?" Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.

Wei Chi Xiu has been practicing the art of war since he was a child, and has studied the astronomical and geographical techniques required in the art of war. If you want to be a master of the art of war, you must understand the time and geography, and the identification of water is also an important one.

The amount of water in Luoshui is average, and flooding is rare in normal times. The last time Luoshui flooded was back in the Zhenguan period, and it was decades since now. Moreover, with the current water level of Luoshui, there is still some distance from the surge, and even if it encounters heavy rain, it is impossible to rise to the extent of breaking through the embankment in just a few days.

Li Rong and the others stood on the causeway on the north bank of Luoshui, looking at Luoshui while staring at the altar in the distance, trying to calculate the distance between the water level and the altar from the shore. When the guards at the altar saw the military uniforms on Li Rong and the others, they knew that they were from Yulin Qiancai, so they didn't dare to step forward and ask, but just watched from a distance.

"If everything is expected, we will stop the snake spirit's conspiracy?" Li Rong said with a smile, "There is a sluice gate upstream of Luoshui, if there is a heavy rain, the sluice is destroyed again, and Luoshui is very likely to overflow." ”

"Luoshui Sluice," Wei Chi Xiu was silent, and Yang Siqiao exclaimed, "How do you know?" ”

"When I went to arrest the murderer of Zheng Lianshan, a member of the military department, I accidentally snatched a diagram of the structure of the Luoshui sluice gate from the murderer," Li Rong said, "The murderer is the green snake, one of the six snake heads of the snake spirit. ”

The Luoshui sluice was built in the Zhenguan period, because the Luoshui flooded at that time, more than 600 houses were floated, Emperor Taizong ordered to build a sluice in the upper reaches to regulate the amount of water, and then the Luoshui water volume was not abundant before, and the sluice was not taken seriously, and many people forgot about it.

"You already knew that the snake spirit wanted to attack the sluice, didn't you say it earlier?" Yu Chi Xiu said quietly.

"I want to test your IQ to see if you have the potential to be a general," Li Rong said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go see the sluice." ”

Saying that, Li Rong took the lead and ran towards the upstream quickly, and everyone hurriedly followed. At Li Rong's insistence, they left the camp without riding horses. Li Rong had long been preparing to go to the sluice gate to take a look, the sluice gate was a hundred miles away from here, the road was rugged and difficult to pass, so he didn't let people ride horses.

Li Rong lifted his body lightly, the speed was not fast, Yang Siqiao and Wei Chi Xiu followed closely, and then there were twenty thousand knights led by Ge Fushun.

The thousand knights did not wear the bright armor of the battle, but they also carried the necessary equipment, horizontal swords, longbows, and quivers. This is what Li Rong usually requires, and he must bring equipment when he goes out to march.

"Why don't we test our foot strength?" Yang Siqiao said to Li Rong.

"If you want, don't dare to invite it!" Li Rong laughed.

Yang Siqiao belongs to the arrogant generation, and when he saw Li Rongxiu surpassing himself, he felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to regain some face.

Yu Chi Xiu's face turned red, but with his face as black as the bottom of a pot, it was difficult for others to see whether he was blushing or not. He knew that his running speed was average, and he could barely catch up with his explosive power in short-distance sprints, and long-distance running was really not Wei Chijia's strong point.

Of course, this is just an ordinary contest speed, and Wei Chi Xiu can't refuse.

Hearing what Li Rong said, Yang Siqiao was like a wisp of light smoke, and his green clothes turned into an afterimage, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in front of everyone after a few ups and downs.

The Heavenly Absolute Sect is famous for the "Shadow Sword", and its light skills are also a must, and it can even be said that the "Shadow Sword" of the Heavenly Absolute Sect is based on the speed of extreme speed, and no one can beat it when it comes to short-distance sprints.

"Run all the way up the river and meet at the sluice gate a hundred miles away." Li Rong's voice sounded clearly in the ears of Ge Fushun and the soldiers, and his body was like a dragon skimming the water, and he followed Yang Siqiao closely.

"Fight," Wei Chi Xiu stomped his big foot, and a huge momentum left a small pit on the ground that was an inch deep, and the burly figure jumped forward like a gorilla. Each step left a not shallow dirt pit, which shows that Wei Chi Xiu's explosive power is strong, and his speed is also extremely fast, closely following Li Rong and Yang Siqiao.

"It's fierce!" Ge Fushun watched the three of them flying, not only was his heart hot, "When will I be able to reach this realm?" ”

Ge Fushun's talent is not bad, and the day after tomorrow there is a grandmaster-level master like his grandfather Ge Bao, Li Rong, a strongman who integrates the martial arts of the two worlds, Ge Fushun's martial arts entry is not slow, and he is now a fourth-grade master. Of course, he is still a little inferior to martial arts geniuses like Li Rong and Wei Chi Xiulian.

"Keep up," Ge Fushun shouted loudly, directing a group of soldiers to run quickly and catch up with Li Rong and the others.

"Ge Teamzheng, what is the realm of our commander, can we catch up?" One of the fire chiefs said.

"If you haven't run yet, you're going to say frustrating words," Ge Fushun said as he ran, "We can't catch up with Master Li if we chase after us, but if we really want to be left behind for dozens of miles, our faces will be disgraced, if we can't run there, the Lord Commander won't easily spare us when we go back." ”

The fire chief gasped, he had learned Li Rong's methods of rectifying people, although he rarely beat the military stick, but it was much more uncomfortable to be rectified than to be beaten with a military stick.

Under the leadership of Ge Fushun, the soldiers mustered up their enthusiasm and pursued closely.

In the first thirty miles, Yang Siqiao had a slight upper hand with a surprisingly fast body, his body was really like a shadow, there was no weight at all, so fast that only a faint afterimage was left, and his body was like walking against the wind.

Li Rong performed the Shaolin Temple's secret "antelope hanging horns" body method, jumped and ran in the mountains, and instantly jumped from a boulder to a low tree three zhang away, borrowed a vertical, and jumped out of the zhang, chasing after Yang Siqiao, the wind in his ears was whistling, and the surrounding scenery was also because the speed of running was too fast, and it quickly flew backwards and disappeared.

Wei Chi Xiu's loneliness is much worse, he is not good at running, and this is still a mountain road, which is not suitable for his style of running with explosive power. However, the extremely fast sprint of thirty miles consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, but he had already lost the backs of Yang Siqiao and Li Rong.

Running fifty miles, Li Rong had already caught up with Yang Siqiao, and the two began to go hand in hand.

After running for another twenty miles, Yang Siqiao's physical strength began to run out, and his speed gradually slowed down, falling behind Li Rong.

After all, Yang Siqiao is still in the realm of five grades, and there is still a difference of one grade from Li Rong, and his true qi is not as deep as Li Rong. Besides, the soft water true qi that Li Rong practiced was already strong in all the exercises in the world with its profound true qi and strong recovery ability, and it was impossible for Yang Siqiao to compete with Li Rong for a long run.

The two of them tried their best, and it took nearly half an hour to complete the hundred-mile mountain road, and they could see the sluice gate of Luoshui from afar.

Li Rong's body was steaming, this was the result of a large consumption of true qi, he had never tried to run at the limit speed with all his might, he didn't expect to consume his physical strength and true qi so much.

Yang Siqiao was already two or three miles behind Li Rong, and reluctantly slowed down. He could no longer suppress the restlessness of the true qi in his body, and at this time he had reached the point where the true qi was exhausted.

Fifteen or sixteen miles away from them, Wei Chi Xiu was sweating profusely, sweat soaked his brocade shirt, and he felt that the seventy or eighty pound spear on his back was pressed on his shoulders like a mountain.

Ge Fushun and his party also ran as hard as they could, sweating profusely.

Li Rong stopped, stood on a bluestone, and slowly exercised his pranayama to recover the consumed true qi.

After a while, Yang Siqiao ran over, panting like a cow, and looked at Li Rong with a pale face, "Brother Li is really powerful, his true qi is incredible, and it is estimated that his speed can compete with a grandmaster-level master." ”

"I'm just one step ahead of you to advance to the sixth grade, and the realm is a little deeper than you, so it's a little faster than you, and when you can advance, you can do the same." Li Rong said with a smile.
