Chapter 169: The River

"It's finally here. After a few days and nights of turnover, Zhao Yulong and An Yi finally arrived in Linjiang City.

Although there has been no danger since the wolf attack, the road has been in fear, so the road is not very stable.

But for now, it's good, and I've finally arrived in Linjiang City. Although the city has been flooded frequently in recent years, it is surrounded by plains and no wolves, so it is naturally much safer in comparison.

Now they were under the gates, but they were tightly closed, as if they were guarding against something.

At present, these soldiers standing on the city wall suddenly became vigilant when they saw the carriage driven by Zhao Yulong, and in just an instant, hundreds of bows and arrows were aimed at Zhao Yulong.

But fortunately, An Yu knows more about dealing with people than Zhao Yulong, because if Zhao Yulong sees this scene, he will immediately rush up and solve these threats.

And An Xuan was not as impulsive as Zhao Yulong, so he stopped in front of Zhao Yulong and took out the token in his arms.

It was noon and the sun was still strong. So when his light shone on the token, the guards were stabbed in the eye by the light.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough, after all, the purpose was not to affect their vision, but to make them understand their intentions.

Sure enough, as An Yi expected, although they didn't read the words on the token. But they knew that there was a lot of official position to be able to have this kind of token, so they put down the bow that was about to be drawn.

In a few moments, the gates were opened, and a very thin man with a bit of sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was present. Although this person had a smile on his face, his smile was very unnatural, and it was obviously just a superficial phenomenon made to cater to the lord of Anjo.

"Under the previous city lord Mo Shou came to greet the new city lord. After saying that, the thin monkey gathered around An Yi like a subordinate.

Seeing him like that, Zhao Yulong really felt disgusted, after all, he couldn't get used to this kind of duplicity.

These people have no ability at all, and they rely entirely on sycophants to curry favor with others, and they also get high official positions. It's no wonder that the national strength of the imperial kingdom is declining more and more, because the people who govern the country are a bunch of stupid talents!

But this guy will find a topic and say, "The adults didn't bring a few guards along the way, but they were at ease on the road?"

"Fortunately, there is no danger to me with this little brother, by the way, he seems to have been sent by Tongtian Academy to help us, and it is said that some of his senior brothers have also been sent over, I wonder if they have begun to govern here now?"

An Yi is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this guy is showing favor on the surface, but secretly he is testing himself. After all, he had long heard that this Mo Shou was insatiable, and he had embezzled the country's property over the years.

At the moment, he will definitely not be completely willing to give up his position to himself, because once he takes the throne, those bills will be evidence of the crime! An Yi is not stupid, so he naturally knows this.

And now Mo Shou asked if he had a guard, obviously wanting to determine how successful he was in killing himself. If you tell me that all the guards along the way were killed by wolves, and that you also escaped death, then you will definitely not survive the dawn.

So right now, An Yu just wants to create the feeling that there are some masters around him, so he thought of Zhao Yulong. quietly used Zhao Yulong to help him get out of danger all the way, highlighting Zhao Yulong's awesomeness, and the importance that the imperial kingdom attaches to this incident.

Obviously, Mo Shou believed it, but now he was a little jealous of this Anxuan: "Sent by Tongtian Academy! Great! Great! Little brother, you can solve the flood in our country this time!"

Obviously, Zhao Yulong could tell from his tone that the other disciples should not have come here. Supposedly, according to the speed of the Thousand Miles, they would have arrived at least a few days earlier than themselves, but now they have not appeared.

However, Zhao Yulong is not worried about them, first, these people are not good things, what does their life or death have to do with Zhao Yulong? Second, according to the strength of those guys, it is not so easy to have accidents, after all, there is nothing powerful in the sky.

So there is only one possibility that they didn't come at the moment, that is, they were playing in the mountains and rivers at this time, and they were having a lot of fun and put this task aside. They want to do it on their own, and they just sit back and enjoy the achievement.

This kind of thing is not impossible, after all, how can the children of those nobles have any high consciousness?

However, Zhao Yulong in front of him is really unaccustomed to it, and now that he is flattering himself, Zhao Yulong looks very disgusting. So Zhao Yulong just found a credible reason to stay away from this ugly face.

"Now that the lord has arrived safely, I think I should do my business too. So where is the Linjiang River, which often floods?"

The meaning of this is that Zhao Yulong wants to go and see how this flood is managed now, and naturally Mo Shou also heard it, and he felt a burst of joy, because he already had a good chance of getting off the phone.

So now he is very active in pointing out the location of the river for Zhao Yulong, and said to Zhao Yulong in a urging tone: "It happened to rain before, and now the river is quite calm, go and take a look! You must know that the less water in this river, the more prone he is to flooding." ”

The less water there is, the more likely it is to flood, which may sound ridiculous. But at present, Zhao Yulong feels that this is in line with common sense, because if it is a flood caused by too much water, the river can be reopened.

It's very easy to do, and although it may take a little longer to build, it can be done once and for all. So this kind of thing can naturally be thought of by the imperial kingdom, but at the moment, this flood has made the entire imperial kingdom anxious, which just shows that this flood will definitely not be very simple.

It is even possible that the flood is not caused by the water, but by something else, or someone else.

But these are just Zhao Yulong's guesses, after all, Zhao Yulong has not seen the specific situation of this river, so some conclusions cannot be made too early.

But it seems that he already has this opportunity now, because Mo Shou has already shown him the way. Moreover, Zhao Yulong was not used to seeing Mo Shou's face, so he naturally walked in that direction without hesitation.

However, An Yu has a bad feeling now, because as long as Zhao Yulong leaves, there seems to be no one on his side. Then it is undoubtedly Mo Shou's best chance to start now, and even if Zhao Yulong comes back, he can't say anything.

After all, he is not familiar with An Shou, and the training task he received is not to protect An Yi, and there is no evidence that he absolutely can't do anything to Mo Shou, so this is the best opportunity for Mo Shou at this time.

So even Anyu is afraid of floods, but at least natural disasters are much better than people's hearts. Natural disasters are preceded by at least some signs, and people's hearts are difficult to predict. So now he hurriedly said: "Why don't I go with you! After all, you are still too young, and I don't know much about some things." ”

"No need!" As soon as he thought that An Yi would come over, this Mo Shou would probably come with him, so Zhao Yulong hurriedly refused.

After all, it's impossible to say what kind of situation will be encountered in this river, and one more person is one more burden. After all, not all of these officials rely on strength, some of them just rely on relationships, and the better ones are just the literary assessment.

And these two people at the moment don't rely on strength, so when the time comes, you have to pay attention to them at all times after you go, otherwise they will die and you won't be able to explain yourself.

And the most important thing is that your identity and bloodline are always a difficult problem to solve, and it will not be good if you encounter any unexpected situation and expose it.

Maybe An Xuan can't react yet, but it's hard to say about this Mo Shou. Although he was just a short-sighted villain, there were some things he might still know?

So Zhao Yulong refused very directly: "No need, Lord Ancheng, you should stay here! Linjiang is dangerous, and there is a possibility of losing his life at any time." ”

This Mo Shou originally felt that his plan had been disrupted again when he heard An Yan's words, but now Zhao Yulong's words gave him a hope: "Yes! Lord An, the river is dangerous, and you are an official of the imperial court! How can you risk your life? Moreover, my banquet has been prepared today, and if you don't eat, you will get cold, so it is better to stay and chat about this way of controlling the water while eating?"

Although there is nothing strange about this, but at this time, An Xuan's heart was cold, since this Mo Shou was so eager to act, it seems that he has committed more than one wrong thing!

Now Anyu has smelled death, as if death is already beckoning to him. But now he still pinned his hopes on Zhao Yulong, and looked at Zhao Yulong in the hope that Zhao Yulong could save him.

Although Zhao Yulong's strength in his heart is actually not very strong, at present, this Mo Shou thinks that Zhao Yulong is very strong. So as long as Zhao Yulong can stay, this Mo Shou will definitely not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Yulong seemed to understand what he meant, glanced at Mo Shou, and muttered something to An Yi, and then gave him something he didn't know.

All this was seen by Mo Shou, so it seemed that it was difficult to implement his plan after Mo Shou saw it.

In fact, Zhao Yulong didn't say anything, but just asked An Yi to find a way to maneuver around for a while. And it wasn't a very powerful thing, just a smoke rune.

This is a common rune used by assassins, after all, spiritual power is not endless. It is inevitable that they will be depleted when fighting, so those assassins who have hidden methods will be seen after their spiritual power is depleted. At this time, in order to escape, they will use this smoke rune.

And right now, Zhao Yulong is also giving this kind of rune, which means that when he sees that the situation is wrong, he crushes the rune and runs away.

Therefore, these strategies are not clever means, they are just means that Zhao Yulong casually came up with for a while to keep An Yi temporarily safe.

But all this is not like this in Mo Shou's eyes, after all, Tongtian Academy is not simple in the eyes of these people!

Therefore, in Mo Shou's eyes, Zhao Yulong is completely a behemoth-like existence, and what he mutters to An Yi at the moment will naturally not be so simple.

And this Mo Shou is an expert in sycophancy, so he also has the ability to observe words and colors. Zhao Yulong had been looking at him unpleasantly before, of course he wouldn't think that Zhao Yulong couldn't get used to his sycophancy.

So in his understanding, he was planning to think about how to kill Anyi. They were also thinking about how to kill Mo Shou, and Zhao Yulong was much stronger.

So Mo Shou was a little scared now, and all his previous plans were canceled by him. Because in case Zhao Yulong said that he was watching the river, but he didn't leave, it would be bad to wait for himself to show his feet and then kill him justifiably.

So now that Zhao Yulong has disappeared from his sight, he is still very respectful to An Xuan: "Lord An, I see that he has left, let's eat quickly! ”

Although An Xuan also knew that this Mo Shou definitely didn't have any good intentions, but at the moment, he could only act at the opportunity, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Since Lord Mo kindly invited, it's not good if I don't go, so let's go." ”

After speaking, he held the smoke rune in his hand and was ready to drive him, because Mo Shou could attack him at any time.

said that although Zhao Yulong also knew that this Mo Shou was not a good thing, but because he still had important things to do, and he didn't want to participate in this battle, he really went to the edge of the Lin River where the flood occurred.

At this time, I don't know why, in Zhao Yulong's opinion, this Linjiang River is far less turbulent than others say.

Not only did there be no sign of flooding, but the water was very calm and slow. In Zhao Yulong's opinion, let alone drowning in a flood, it is unlikely that someone will drown if he jumps into the Linjiang River to swim.

Because the water in it is so calm, and in a sense it is too calm.

"It's strange, this river doesn't look like it's going to happen, how can there be a flood?"

"On the surface, you can't see that there are many rivers that are calm on the surface and have a turbulent undercurrent below. All to judge whether the river is calm or not, you should go down into the river. Thanks to so many books, you don't even have this common sense. "Seeing that there was no one else around, Mi Butterfly ran out of the 'barrenness' directly.

"You're going down into the river, aren't you? In line with his curiosity about the river, Zhao Yulong jumped directly into it as Mi Die said.
