"I don't feel like I've gone far when I came, but I can't see the end of the way back." Lin Yue complained bitterly in her heart, they hurried day and night, and this time they simply did not stay at the inn to rest at night.

Lin Yue felt that her body was a little unbearable, there were some bruises on her body inexplicably, the pain was unbearable when she touched it, and she always felt cold, obviously riding a horse, and at the same time facing the big sun, but she didn't even sweat a bead after walking for more than ten miles. It is said that after a long illness, Lin Yue is afraid that he will be poisoned.

"Meng Hu, when was the last time there were two signals from Weimeng Mountain?" When he stopped to drink saliva to rest, Lin Yue mentioned it smoothly.

"It's the time when the imperial court encircled and suppressed the mighty mountain." Meng Hu picked up the wine naan is a burst of cow drink.

Lin Yue was shocked, thought of something in his heart, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Meng Hu is two sips of wine under the stomach, by the warm afternoon sun, recalling the events of the year, when the imperial court sent thousands of troops to encircle and suppress Weimeng Mountain but there was no gain, in addition to his early plan, come up with a perfect good way, but also rely on the unity of the people of Weimeng Mountain, two signals to notify the gathering, no matter where the people are, they all rushed back to the cottage in the fastest time, obey the arrangement.

As for why the imperial court found nothing, it was thanks to the drainage channel dug by him and a group of original bandits. At that time, he had just become the king of the cottage, and found that the top of the mountain was in a "concave" shape, which was the easiest place to collect rainwater, and every time the rainy season came, all the houses in the mountain were flooded with rainwater.

So he began to have the idea of wanting to divert the rainwater out, and the first method that flashed in his mind was a very traditional ditch, that is, starting from the top of the mountain and digging several ditches from the top to the bottom, so that the water on the top of the mountain could flow to the bottom of the mountain, but he was quickly denied by himself.

Not to mention that there is a shortage of water on the mountain, and the rain can be used as water for daily needs, if the mountain ditch is washed wider and wider by the water, when there is no water, it will not become a shortcut to the mountain, and then what will the five gods and six people rush to the mountain?

Most of the people on the mountain were originally poor people, and they were forced by life to become outlaws walking on the tip of the knife, almost all of them were illiterate, and Meng Hu could only rely on himself, and after thinking for several days, he finally found a way to kill multiple birds with one stone, that is, to dig a ditch in the mountain.

The implementation of this method is not a small project, first digging down to meet the rocks, after the rocks were chiseled, but encountered a landslide, Meng Hu remembered the sentence in the Peach Blossom Spring, "the beginning is extremely narrow, only to pass people".

So he made a small opening in the other direction, dug a little bit and supported it with wood and planks, and ordered some white branch trees to be planted in the next place to prevent the sand from becoming less and the soil from being lost. Of course, Meng Hu also thought of the problem of light and oxygen supply in the cave, and he would open a few secret holes in various places to ventilate, so that candles and oil lamps could be lit inside.

In this way, digging day after day, finally a palace-like sewer was built, every time it is the rainy season, the rainwater gathered on the top of the mountain will be drained down and stored, sometimes when the summer is hot and uncomfortable, there will be people who go to the waterway to escape the heat, there must be two and three, over time, it will form a village on the top of the mountain, but there is a hole in the mountain.

The mountain bandits' sense of hearing is extremely keen, and there is no shortage of high-ranking people among the people, they can hear the wind and grass a few miles away, and the people who go to the imperial city to do business will know what they are going to do as soon as they see the royal army marching towards the mighty mountain, so the signal is sent, everyone gathers at the top of the mountain in a very short time, Meng Hu will arrange the old and weak women into the cave first, they go in behind, and the last person just hugged a handful of dry grass, and then blocked the entrance of the cave and ventilated.

When the soldiers of the imperial court surrounded the mountain, they naturally searched all over the mountain but found nothing.

A flying bird flew over Meng Hu's head from a low altitude and pulled his thoughts back from his memories.

"Let's keep going." Meng Hu turned his head and said to Lin Yue.

But I saw Lin Yue staring ahead blankly, without even blinking her eyes, I don't know what she was thinking, but her face was really not good-looking, a little pale.

"Are you alright?" Meng Hu gently stretched out his hand in front of Lin Yue's eyes and shook it.

"Ah...... I'm just in a daze. Lin Yue came to her senses and looked at her directly at Meng Hu, her eyes were like copper bells, and she was startled.

"What are you thinking? Then get into the gods. Meng Hu said as he plucked a piece of grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it indiscriminately.

"I'm thinking that the two signals this time are that something urgent has happened to Wei Meng Mountain, you said that it won't be the same as last time, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress Wei Meng Mountain." Lin Yue glanced at Meng Hu's rude appearance with disdain, and then expressed his inner worries.

"What's the matter, I know best about those people in the court, they are all doing things with money, and they are just doing some fake tricks to fool people, I don't believe that they can destroy my cottage." Meng Hu pouted, he was just worried that the ladies would not handle it well and go back to preside over the overall situation, as for the people in the court, they were like waste in his eyes, and he never cared.

"Yes...... Is it? Lin Yue wanted to add: "The situation is estimated to be very different from last time." ”

But in the end, she didn't speak, Meng Hu didn't ask any more questions, and the two rode away on horseback and walked away with the shadow of the setting sun, and the dust raised lingered in the air for a while before falling to the ground.

"You look absent-minded again, be careful of falling off your horse!" Meng Hu scolded Lin Yue, there was a big mud puddle on the road in front of him, which was full of sewage and mud, fortunately, the little red horse stepped over smartly, if he ran straight into the mud puddle, he was afraid that Lin Yue would be shaken off the horse.

"Got it, I'll be careful." Lin Yue agreed, but as soon as the horse ran two miles, she began to think about it again.

In her guess, the emperor ordered the prince to suppress the bandits, the prince knew that the mighty mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he pretended to be a scholar to go up the mountain, but he had an accident and fell into the snake pit, and was unconscious, and the soldiers who were on standby in place couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they had to go back to the palace to report the situation to the emperor, so the emperor ordered to lead the troops to encircle and suppress the mighty mountain, even digging three feet into the ground to find His Royal Highness the prince.

Lin Yue thought about it again, and Meng Hu didn't take the imperial army in his eyes, but he was afraid that this time there would be more and less luck on the mighty mountain.

Lin Yue couldn't help but be worried, fortunately, she had already walked the road when she came, she was more familiar with it, otherwise she couldn't catch up with Meng Hu's horse speed, and she was alone in a daze in the middle of the road, and it was estimated that she didn't know where the horse was going.

"Ahh Woo ......" Lin Yue exclaimed, I don't know when a broken tree appeared in the middle of the road, where it was horizontally, and it was as high as a waist by sight.
