Chapter 174: The Woods Conspiracy
Li Canghai stood on a high stone with a torch, he gathered everyone and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, my official knows that some people say that we have been condemned to heaven, and the plague sent down by heaven is to punish us for our rudeness. I also know that you have developed a fear of these rumors. But what I would say is that this is a deliberate attempt to provoke us to stop the break. This official can responsibly tell everyone that this is not a plague at all, but someone deliberately poisoned it! ”
All eyes were on him, and when they heard his words, there was an uproar among the people, both believers and unbelievers.
"My lord, are you telling the truth? But who will poison us? One of them shouted.
Letting the rain hit his body, Li Canghai wiped the rain on his face casually, and he said loudly: "Who poisoned him, this official has not found out, but this person's purpose is obvious. Fellow villagers, do you really believe in such a ridiculous thing as heavenly punishment? This is your homeland, and the soil under your feet buries your ancestors, and you really want to abandon your homeland? You can flee to other places, but what are you to say when your children and grandchildren ask you why you fled years later? Is it because of the fear of heavenly punishment that we watched our homes being swallowed up by the flood? ”
Everyone fell silent.
"What you were able to do was abandoned just because of a stone monument, a man-made poisoning, and you gave up the homes you have lived in for generations? Even if you can do it, you can't do it! Within the jurisdiction of this official, there is no room for loss of land! Li Canghai glanced at everyone, and he said solemnly: "Now, the rainstorm is coming, as long as the water level of the Yellow River rises again, the entire Zhengyang City will become an ocean." As a county commander, it is the duty of this official to block the breach of the Yellow River, and if any of you are afraid, even if you leave, this official will not stop you. ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, gradually turning from a drizzle to a pouring rain.
No one spoke, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of dripping rain.
"My lord is right, this is my home, and I am willing to advance and retreat with my lord!" In the crowd, a farmer roared.
With the roar of the crop man, many people had a look of hesitation on their faces.
Seeing this, the farmer shouted: "Fellow villagers, we have lived here for generations, and we have taken root here, and this is our home!" How many of our ancestors fled and how many died on the way to escape, everyone should have heard what our ancestors said. Instead of abandoning your home and running away, it's better to fight for it! The county magistrates are all taking the lead, what else do we have to be afraid of? ”
"Count me in! My grandfather died on the way to escape, and this time I won't run away, even if I die, I will die in front of my own family! ”
"I am also willing to advance and retreat with the adults!"
"Count me in!"
……
More and more people are excited.
Li Canghai nodded, he looked up at the rain line that kept falling, waved his torch, and said in a deep voice: "Action!" ”
Everyone got busy.
Just when Li Canghai was leading everyone to be busy, two figures appeared in the dense forest on the top of Gushan Mountain.
One of them was dressed in a black robe, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and his hands were wrapped in his sleeves, looking condescendingly at the people at the foot of the mountain.
"How's it going?" The man wearing a bamboo hat has a cold voice.
The other man was hidden in the woods, and he couldn't see it clearly, but he could only hear it by the voice.
"Lord Hui, I have done everything according to the plan, and the stele has been dug up." The man said respectfully.
"Very good, quickly spread the content on the stele, the Lord has rushed back from Dongying, this is a generous gift from the Lord to Li Longji, and it must not be lost." The man wearing the bamboo hat nodded and said coldly.
“…… My lord, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not. The man hesitated.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The man with the hat on his head still had a cold voice.
"My lord, there is a county order here, and he is now leading the people to block the place where the embankment is broken." The man replied.
Takekasa snorted disdainfully: "They don't even have stones, and they want to block the breach?" ”
"My lord doesn't know anything, but the county commander is full of confidence and seems to be very confident. However, just in case, I have secretly drugged their meals, and they can only use dozens of people. The man said in a deep voice.
"Well done, just dozens of people want to block the Yellow River breach, it's just beyond their means. Now the heavy rain will soon turn into a torrential rain, and then the entire section of the Yellow River will be washed away, and Zhengyang City will become an ocean! Bamboo Li's eyes faintly flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but admire: "The Lord has this great gift, I believe Li Longji will be surprised." ”
Seeing that the man was a little worried, Zhu Li said coldly: "What, do you think that the Lord's arrangement is not perfect?" ”
The man hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "My lord has misunderstood, the Lord is far-sighted, although he is thousands of miles away, he is strategizing, and his humble position is very admirable. However, the small ones are a little worried. ”
"Worried about what?"
"My lord doesn't know that this new county order only took one day to wipe out the forces that Wang Buquan had worked so hard to develop. This man was so thoughtful and brilliant that he could only be described as terrifying, and he feared that he would destroy the Lord's plan. The man said honestly.
Takekasa's shoulders suddenly moved, and he seemed to think of something: "What is this county order called?" ”
"Li Canghai."
"Li Canghai?!" Takekasa was amazed.
Seeing that Zhu Li's expression was abnormal, the man hurriedly asked, "My lord, do you know him?" ”
A wave of anger erupted in Zhu Li's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Not only knowing, in Luoyang City, he has ruined many of our good things!" ”
The man saw a fierce murderous intent in Takekasa's eyes, and he shuddered.
"You immediately return to them now, secretly observe Li Canghai, and find an opportunity to kill him for me!" Bamboo Kasa made a gesture to wipe his neck, and commanded with a fierce light.
The man bowed down and disappeared into the forest.
The rain was still falling, Zhu Li raised his head, revealing a handsome face, if Li Canghai saw it, he would definitely recognize it, the person in front of him was none other than Di Hatian.
He stared at the busy crowd at the foot of the mountain, stretched out his hand to catch the dense raindrops, and sneered: "Li Canghai, I want to see, how do you fight with heaven and earth?" ”

Countless tiny lightning bolts continue to flash in the clouds, reflecting the entire cloud into a strange magnificence, like a cannonball about to fall, making people feel extremely depressed.
