Chapter 292: Lord Lu fell into the water
Li Jingxuan sent someone to bring a letter that there was an urgent problem with the bridge fortifications in Phoenix Mountain. The bridge is the top priority of the post road, and Lu Ting repaired the fire and rushed over.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Xia Qiu had a bad premonition, so he didn't say anything and went with him.
The weather in the southwest was unpredictable, and it was pouring rain just halfway through. The rain was so heavy that it took a lot of time to reach Phoenix Mountain.
Lu Tingxiu didn't stop for a moment, and went directly to the canyon with an umbrella, followed by Li Jingxuan, the supervisor, the labor chief and others. Xia Qiu originally wanted to follow, but there was no extra umbrella in the bamboo shed, and besides, she didn't know how to do things, so she had to stay in the bamboo shed and wait for him to come back.
As soon as he went out to burn half incense, Liu Tong rushed back in a panic and shouted, "Oh no, Sister Xia is not good." ”
Xia Qiu chuckled and hurried out, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Tong was drenched in the rain, and he ran too quickly and was mixed by the threshold, and the whole person fell to the ground, "Lord Lu...... Lord Lu, he fell into the river......"
Like five thunderbolts, Xia Qiu staggered twice to hold on to the chair before standing firmly, "How did you fall?" ”
"There was a problem with the irrigation of the piles under the canyon, and it turned out that the rain was too strong to stand on the shore and I couldn't see it clearly, so Lord Lu moved a few steps forward, but who knew that the stones on the shore slipped and fell."
Xia Qiu ran to the shore, but was stopped by Liu Tong, "Sister Xia, it's useless for you to go, the roar of the water swallowed Lord Lu at once." The supervisor and the chief laborer have already dispatched laborers from both sides of the strait to find them downstream. ”
There is also a post road construction point not far downstream, and people have been sent to inform them quickly, so that they can dispatch laborers to intercept and see if they can find people.
Xia Qiu was restless, and ran directly to the river bank while Liu Tong was not paying attention.
There are a lot of laborers in Phoenix Mountain, and more than half of them have been dispatched to find them. The banks were steep, and they searched downstream along the rugged path. The water was so strong that they couldn't keep up with their footsteps.
Xia Qiu stood by the river, looking at the roaring torrent, and suddenly became puzzled. He has more important things to do tomorrow, why does he have to come to Phoenix Mountain at this juncture?
The bridge will take several months to complete, so how about a day or two of delay for a big problem? Come at this time, aren't you afraid of extraneous branches?
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but calm down, this was not Lu Tingxiu's character, and he had always acted calmly, how could he make such a dangerous move.
Xia Qiu vaguely thought of something, but she wasn't too sure.
Liu Tong found an umbrella and hurried over, "Sister Xia, hurry back, they will definitely be able to find Lord Lu." It's not safe for you to stay here, what if you get swept away by the flood again? ”
Xia Qiu took his umbrella and said hurriedly: "Don't worry about me, you can help find Lord Lu." ”
Liu Tong didn't dare to refuse, and after taking her to a safe place, he immediately walked downstream. It's getting dark, the rain is still not stopping, and danger is coming at any time. Liu Tong is not a fool, but he is just going through the motions and coming back after a casual turn.
But when he came back, Xia Qiu was gone, and only the umbrella was left not far from the shore. Auntie, she won't go to find someone too, will she?
This ghost place is bad luck, last time it was buried in Xia Qiu, and this time Lu Tingxiu was washed away. The fate of these two people is not good, and they clash with this place.
It was already completely dark, and a landslide suddenly occurred on the mountain road downstream, and the people who went out to rescue did not come back, but fortunately, there were still supervisors plus Li Jingxuan and others to command, and the rest of the people went back to the shed to rest.
Xia Qiu came back wet, and Jin Xuan'er hurriedly took her clothes to change.
"No, I want to go back to Lin County." Xia Qiu, who was lost and depressed, shook her head again and again, as if she was a little delirious.
Jin Xuan'er was surprised, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's dangerous to be so late, why don't you go back tomorrow?" ”
"If you find Lord Lu, you will definitely take a shortcut back to Lin County for treatment." Xia Qiu insisted on going his own way, and decided to board the carriage in the rain, "I have to go back to Lin County to wait for him." ”
Jin Xuan'er persuaded to no avail, so she had to hurry to invite Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan was also very anxious when he learned about it, but he didn't stop it, "Forget it, you let her go back, she won't feel at ease if she stays." ”
The carriage was moving away, and the coachman was driving on the mountain road in the rain, with a horse lamp hanging in front of the car.
"You can't go." Inside the quiet carriage, a voice suddenly sounded.
Qiao Ye, who had an indifferent face, hugged his sword slightly, and said indifferently: "The surname Lu is afraid that you will be worried about it, so I let you know you, you can return to Lin County with peace of mind, why bother." ”
Xia Qiu glanced at her, "When did you listen to him like this?" ”
Qiao Ye was slightly disdainful and silent.
"Do you think that with the IQ of the man in black, if you really hide Feng Yuhuai and them, are you sure you can find them?"
Qiao Ye was slightly stunned, and then jumped off the horse.
Xia Qiu got up and jumped down, "He has what he has to do, and we also have our tasks." ”
The carriage disappeared at the intersection of the mountain road, Qiao Ye whistled slightly, and soon the sky sounded the soaring of the eagle eagle.
The rainstorm was not conducive to flying, and the eagle hugged the two under his wings. Xia Qiu's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and the smell is so bad that I have to pinch my nose tightly.
Late at night, the rainstorm finally stopped, and the two rode the wind into the 100,000 deep mountains.
According to Shi Fan, if nothing else, the man in black will enter the mountain once a month to follow up on the progress of weapon casting. Every time he came at night, he didn't stay long without special circumstances, and he left overnight.
In the past, Xia Qiu didn't understand, but the things in the mining village could be strung together. In addition to the dark night and high wind, you can rush to the mining village the next day after coming out of the foundry, and one round trip for one day and one night is enough.
At that time, in the reckless forest sea, a team of people took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch the cave of the foundry. In the first half of the night, it had been raining non-stop, and the harsh environment had made the guards of the sentry posts lax, and no outsiders had ever set foot in them for more than half a year.
In the second half of the night, the rain gradually lightened, and the sentries were drowsy, and from time to time they dozed off.
It had rained, the forest was cold and damp, they yawned, but suddenly their necks tightened, and a warm liquid spurted out.
The body fell down, caught by a hand outstretched out in the darkness.
Several sentry sentries were taken, and they hid the corpses and changed into the clothes of the sentry.
Soon, a group of men in black came from the other side of the mountain road, one of them with a round figure and a cloak covering his head to his feet.
They hurried and soon entered the cave of the foundry.
When several overseers in the cave saw the man in black enter, they hurriedly greeted him and flattered, "Sir, you are here." ”
One of them looked up at the face under the cloak, and his face changed with a "sigh".
He was just about to shout, but the cold light flashed, and there were more blood marks on his neck.
The overseers were stunned, but quickly reacted, drew their weapons one after another, and the two groups of people fought against each other in the cave.
At the same time, more well-trained men rushed into the cave with weapons in hand and met the people inside the cave.
