Duzhong replied to the letter, but it was the eldest princess who wrote it, that is, the sister of Prince Ming and the aunt of the prince.

The letter said that King Ming was indeed ill, but it was not as serious as rumored, and he also entered the palace to accompany him personally, always accompanying him, and he would definitely get better in the near future, so that Shi Shu could rest assured that he was fighting on the front line.

Shi Shu was no longer suspicious after reading it, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Since my aunt is by my side, I am relieved." My aunt has always been careful, and I feel a lot more at ease to have her take care of my father. ”

Ning Zeqing thought for a moment: "The princess rarely returns to Xingdu, but I don't know why she suddenly entered the palace this time. ”

Shi Shu smiled slightly: "When the three of them are rarely reunited, it is rare to be in one place, so they should talk more." ”

After relieving himself of the affairs in the palace, he focused on the war again.

It's just that for some reason, Qianwanli's army has not moved for a long time, as if it is dormant on the spot, and no one has come to respond to the battle after beating the drum many times.

"Could it be that they are studying some new platoon and want to surprise them? Or was it delayed by something, so you can't fight? Or is it that the number of troops is greatly reduced and cannot be used in battle? Shi Shu pondered the possibility of such a situation.

"If they are now severely defeated and unable to fight, should we take advantage of the victory and pursue and break through in one fell swoop?" Qu Mingli asked.

Ning Zeqing shook his head: "It's not that simple, the move of the leader is very weird." This peaceful surface may be an illusion he deliberately created. ”

The battle with the enemy along the way is indeed not ordinary in an ordinary battle, the opponent's plan is strange, and the number of people is about the same as this side.

Ning Zeqing took advantage of this gap to study the terrain here carefully.

The princess died, the prince lost his breath as soon as he was born, and Wan Li mourned.

Regardless of Zhan Pu's obstruction, Qi Si insisted on holding a big funeral for the two, and buried them on the spot at the highest point of the north peak of Candle to avoid the impact of the war.

Yu Zhanpu was extremely dissatisfied with this, and this was the first time in many years that Qi Si had disobeyed him so much.

"State affairs are important, I hope that we will not be sad anymore, and we need to consider the matter of our heirs as soon as possible. When the war here is stable, he will find a princess for Qi Shang to ensure the eternal inheritance of the royal bloodline. ”

Qi Si had become a walking corpse, unresponsive.

Since the funeral, he has only sat on the throne, and let Yu Zhan Pu arrange everything without saying a word.

As a tool for the restoration of the country, it is good to sit here quietly.

The rest is not something he can control.

Yu Zhanpu saw his appearance, he hated iron and steel, no matter how unwilling Qi Si was in the past, he obeyed him more or less, even if he slipped out of Qishan for more than two months for no reason, he was kind to make amends after he came back, and he was never so expressionless.

"Qi Shang, General Qin said that he had found a way to defeat the enemy!" The soldier suddenly came in to report.

Yu Zhanpu happily followed him out, leaving Qi Si alone to sit in his place.

And Ning Zeqing studied the local terrain day and night, and also found a trace of strangeness.

"This place is hollowed in the middle, and it is a basin-shaped terrain with a bulge on all sides. The water flow of this terrain mostly converges in the central part of the terrain, and the climate is warm, while the surrounding terrain is high, and the water vapor is difficult to disperse, and it is inevitable that it will accumulate in the sky. In this way, the more rain falls. ”

But what does that have to do with us? If there is a lot of rain, let the soldiers be more prepared, what is there to worry about. Shi Shu was puzzled.

Qu Mingli thought about the relationship between them and blurted out: "Food! ”

"Yes, grain. When we come to fight from afar, the most important factor for the soldiers to conserve their strength to fight is sufficient food. This is also a guarantee that relies on the prince to contact the surrounding local officials. However, it is humid and rainy here, and the rice will deteriorate and become moldy after a long time. When a soldier eats such rice, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect his body. ”

Ban Fei hurriedly said: "I'll go and let them keep the rice bags well, and don't put them in a damp place." ”

Ning Zeqing said again: "There is one more thing, and I can't do it." It's just ......," Ning Zeqing said slightly, "There is a small circulation here, and air reflux is a common thing. If they use their hands and feet in the air circulation according to this, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape this fate. It's just that both sides are in a reflux, and if we want to have something to do, they will not be happy. I would not have done such a thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. ”

After hearing this, everyone also felt that the enemy would not act like this, so they only took a little precaution, but took good care of the general's belongings in case of sudden climate changes.

After a few days like this, there was still no movement on the other side, and Ning Zeqing was a little unsure of what this meant.

During the night, the officers and men of the army all rested, leaving only the patrol soldiers to investigate everywhere.

In addition to the faint sound of insects chirping, the sound of patrol footsteps near and far, only the sound of snoring in sleep remains.

Everything was very quiet.

Rustle.

Is it a rat that gnaws at something? A soldier who was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes thought to himself.

Before he could copy the image in his mind, he fell asleep again.

Rustle.

The string in his head tightened again.

There are so many rats tonight.

He rolled over and continued to sleep.

Rustle, rustle.

The cacophony grew louder and louder.

The general got up in a fit of rage and wanted to get rid of the rats, or he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and moved slowly, when suddenly he didn't step on his feet and fell to the ground.

Now he woke up completely.

He cursed in his mouth, stepped on his feet steadily, and tried to get up, but he felt that the soil under his feet was very soft and seemed to be about to sink into the soil.

He looked at his feet, squinted, tilted his head, and finally saw clearly.

"Ahh He shouted, "This...... The land is moving, moving! ”

He collapsed to the ground, trying to escape, but found that the soil around him was very soft, and the whole person was lying on the ground.

This movement finally woke everyone in the tent, and they all fell down, stood in the middle of the tent, and asked the man, "What are you yelling at night?" ”

The man was frightened and just pointed to the ground.

But they've felt it, too.

The ground beneath their feet is sinking, and it's getting faster and faster!

Everyone subconsciously ran out of the tent, only to find that this was the case everywhere.

"Lord Yama has come to collect the land!"

Someone shouted and looked frightened.

This is a local rumor, if a certain land subsides, it means that the land in the underworld is not enough, and the world will take some points. and they shall take it with all those who are on earth.

"Run, if you don't run, you'll be taken away!"

The soldiers fled in all directions in the camp, waking everyone up.

In this way, the entire military camp found out about this situation and looked for a place where they could fight.

But they found that wherever they ran, the ground was sinking.

Moreover, the more often they run, the faster they sink!

Someone has already fallen into the mud and can't pull it out. When others pulled, they fell deeper and deeper.

If this continues, the whole army will be drowned in the ground!
