It was only one day before the festival, and the rain was a little lighter, but it still didn't stop.

"How did Si Tianjian determine the date? The rain continues to rain, and if it is not sunny tomorrow, how will the sacrifice ceremony be carried out? Wu Zetian walked around the palace and said irritably.

"The old slave asked Yao Zhen of Si Tianjian yesterday, saying that the sky will be sunny and sunny tomorrow, and it is an auspicious day for the zodiac to worship the ancestors of Sheji." Yang Jingchen said in a low voice.

"Heavy rain before the sacrifice is just beneficial to the snake spirit's plan, does Yao Zhen have two hearts?" Wu Zetian said.

The sacrificial ceremony is related to her next plan to seize the throne, and it can be said that everyone is watching her move, and she will never allow the ceremony to be lost. Now her master, the great grandmaster Yuan Hua, known as the "Demon Gate Empress", has left Luoyang, and she doesn't know where to go, and the future road will have to be taken by Wu Zetian himself. Although she has absolute confidence in defeating any opponent, the loss of the master who has stood behind her for a long time always makes her feel a faint sense of insecurity.

"The old slave asked Si Tianjian before, and checked the past records, the probability of rain in Luoyang in the early days of July is indeed very high, Yao Zhen also said." Yang Jingchen said.

In fact, Yao Zhenzhi said that there would be heavy rain in early July, but he also promised that it would be sunny on the eighth day of July, and Wu Zetian didn't take it to heart.

"I'm a little impatient," Wu Zetian sighed.

Ascending to Dabao as a woman is something that no one has ever done in the past, although Wu Zetian has full confidence, sometimes he can't help but feel extra lonely.

Early in the morning of the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, Yuan Xingchong requisitioned more than a dozen large ships in advance, selected 500 of the most elite soldiers from the left and right thousand cavalry, and marched against Luoshui.

There are many ships sailing in Luoshui, and the big ships requisitioned by Yuan Xingchong this time are six zhang long and about one zhang wide, each boat can carry forty or fifty people, plus tents, armor and other things that need to be carried, it took fifteen big boats to carry all the things.

Li Rong and Yang Zhiyi followed Yuan Xingchong to take the largest one in the middle, which was a rare battleship, specially borrowed from the sailors.

The three of them stood at the bow of the boat in the drizzle and watched the scenery on the river together.

"Four grandmaster-level masters are dispatched at one time, and the capital under the snake spirit is really a lot." Yuan Xingchong said with a smile, "This time, Wu Sansi invited Tianhuang Wu Youxu, I don't know how Li Ruoxue feels when he knows it." ”

"Since Li Ruoxue has this plan, then how can Wu Youxu not take this factor into account, she will not give up easily." Li Rong said.

"The world can be expected, otherwise what's the fun?" Yuan Xingchong said, "The unknown is curious, and it will inspire people to explore, just like this Luoshui, I once thought that the source of the water was there, so I went up the river and arrived at the source of Luoshui and found that it was actually at the southern foot of Mount Huashan." Later, I thought that the source of the great river is there, and the source of the great river is there, and I have been to these two places in my lifetime, so that I can live up to this life. ”

"Yes, Luoshui is too small compared to the river and the river, and the river is too small compared to the sea, and there is a mountain and a mountain high." Li Rong said.

"Well," Yuan Xingchong said, "the strength of the imperial court is not comparable to that of the snake spirit, and the snake spirit will inevitably end in failure." ”

"Our Lady and Emperor already know about this and have taken full precautions, and if there is a change upstream, they will withdraw to safety, even if the dam collapses, it will not cause much damage." Yang Zhiyi said beside him.

This fleet went upstream, attracting the attention of the ships sailing on the Luoshui River, and the boatmen were arguing on the boats, and when they saw the soldiers on the boats dressed in armor and armed with knives and guns, they were all frightened and quickly quickened up and left the ships.

"Heavy regulations, camping in the small valley, although the terrain dictates, there are also many disadvantages. If you encounter an enemy attack and rush over to blockade the valley mouth, it will be difficult for you to get out, which is a taboo in the art of war. Wu Sansi came to Wu Chonggui's tent, sat in the tent and said to Wu Chonggui.

"Tell my uncle, it has rained heavily in the past few days, and the army has moved outside the valley, and I am afraid that the soldiers will complain, so I have not moved the camp." Wu Chonggui said respectfully.

Wu Chonggui is not stupid, he knows that the whole military camp is not in line with Xiaogu Yu's art of war, but he has already put a police post outside, always observing the movement of the dam, and is not afraid of someone rushing over. The mountain roads here are difficult and dangerous, and there are large armies to march, and this is near Luoyang, how can there be hundreds of enemies.

As one of the twelve guards of the forbidden army, most of the soldiers in the battalion are the sons of powerful people near Luoyang, so they don't know how much they complain about the wind and rain, which is another reason why Wu Chonggui does not want to move the camp.

"When things come to an end, I can't bear any hardship, how can I bear the heavy responsibility? Immediately move out of the two hundred soldiers and garrison outside the valley," Wu Sansi said sharply.

"Yes," Wu Chonggui's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and went back to arrange the relocation of the camp.

"There is no successor to the next generation of the martial arts family!" Wu Sansi secretly said in his heart, "When it comes to martial arts talent to Yizong, the heavy rules are barely reasonable, but it is difficult to have the amazing talent of Yu Xu, so that Li Rong, the son of Li Hui, has a little bit of Li Hui's youthful demeanor, or even better." ”

For a moment, muttering and complaining incessantly, the disgruntled but helpless soldiers braved the light rain to set up tents outside the valley.

On a rainy day, no one wants to come out to get drenched in the rain, let alone live well, but they tear down the tent and set it up again. The soldiers stepped on the muddy ground, and their shoes were soaked in a short time, and they were very uncomfortable sticky, so they were naturally dissatisfied.

Among the tents that were originally erected in the valley, Wu Chonggui's tent was undoubtedly the best and the most luxuriously furnished, and now Wu Sansi lived in it. In an ordinary tent standing not far from Wu Sansi's tent, a burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a blood-colored robe, sat cross-legged on a wooden couch, and a ghost-headed knife was placed horizontally on his lap.

"Brother You, this time you will go out of the mountain, and you will definitely be served what you want afterwards." Wu Sansi opened the curtain and came in and said to the blood-clothed man.

"Wu Sansi, I didn't expect that the next volume of the Heavenly Ghost Divine Record would fall into the hands of your martial family," You Shan said with his mouth wide open, "If the Heavenly Ghost Sect knew about it, it would definitely come to the door." ”

"It's just a coincidence, Brother You doesn't want to miss it." Wu Sansi said, "The Heavenly Ghost Sect must have taken a lot of things away if it was able to hand over the upper volume to Brother You for cultivation, and the next is just asking Brother You to kill a few people, and the degree of difficulty cannot be mentioned." ”

"You won't ask me to kill Li Ruoxue, although I would love to kill her." You Shan laughed and said.

"Li Ruoxue? This time, Brother You only needs to drag the congenital grandmaster who may appear in the snake spirit, Li Ruoxue has my own martial arts family to deal with, and the person I want you to kill is also your enemy. ”

"My enemy?" You Shan frowned.

Most of his enemies have died by his sword, so what enemies are there?

"Li Rong, the Li Rong who killed Chang Jian." Wu Sansi said, "After repelling the snake spirit this time, I think Brother You can find an opportunity to kill Li Rong, and I will inform Brother You to make a move then." ”

"The son of Sword Marquis Li Hui?" You Shan said, "Who let him kill Chang Jian, who called him Li Hui's son, that's the person I hate the most." I agreed, but I don't want to delay much time, you know I'm going to be busy going back to the next volume of "The Records of Ghosts and Gods in the Sky". ”

"Of course, I'll let you know as soon as possible." Wu Sansi said, "I'm leaving, I hope to see Brother You tomorrow to show his powers." ”

Wu Sansi turned around and walked out of the tent.

You Shan showed a contemptuous look in his eyes, closed his eyes, and closed his eyes to breathe.

On the mountain behind Xiaogu, Wu Youxu wore coarse linen clothes, found a stone crack in the mountain, which could slightly shield him from the wind and rain, sat on a piece of bluestone, and quietly waited for the arrival of the "snake spirit" Li Ruoxue.

For Wu Youxu, the rise and fall of the country and the rise and fall of the family are not the objects of his pursuit, what he wants to pursue is the pinnacle of martial arts, the kind of martial arts realm that Master Wu Zetian is in. It was his purpose to become a Nine-Rank Grand Master, and as for helping the martial arts family achieve great things, it was also to challenge more masters in the process and stimulate the progress of martial arts, which was indeed the case. In just a few years, Wu Youxu's martial arts have been refined again and again, and the realm has reached the perfect realm of the eighth grade into the micro realm, and it is only one step away from the ninth grade, but it is difficult to find a good opportunity to break through the realm.

It took Yuan Xingchong's fleet half a day to reach the dam.

The battleship landed first, and Yuan Xingchong tapped his toes lightly, stepping on the water and came to the north shore, and the shoes under his feet did not get wet.

Yang Zhiyi and Li Rong also stepped on the water and followed onto the shore.

The rest of the soldiers did not have such skills, and jumped out of the boat not far from the shore, waded through the water, and ran towards the shore.

The tents carried on the ship, not a lot of armor, took the soldiers half an hour to move.

Then the fleet turned around and went back to Luoyang.

Here, Yang Zhiyi and Li Rong commanded the soldiers to set up tents and camp at the foot of the rocky mountain. Yuan Xingchong crossed the dam to visit Wu Sansi and exchange information about the cloth dam.

Fortunately, the thousand knights were quite well prepared, and there were enough ships to mobilize, in addition to a day's food, they also carried enough charcoal to prepare for the evening fire.

Wading through the water made the soldiers' clothes wet, and they dried half in the rain, and inevitably soaked from top to bottom, the soldiers hurriedly took out the braziers, put in charcoal, and gathered around them to make a fire.

Li Rong and Yu Chi Xiu were assigned to a tent, and the two of them were masters so that they were not wet by the rain, and they each sat in a corner of the tent and sat cross-legged to breathe.

The thousand cavalry were responsible for garrisoning the north bank, the samurai were defending the south bank, and the two battalions of soldiers faced each other across the dam. Yuan Xingchong and Wu Sansi discussed the method of contact and the measures to deal with it, and then returned to the camp and explained to Yang Zhiyi, Li Rong and other officers at all levels.
