Chapter 25: The Threat I
β...... Drink the water. Fang Hua said lightly.
Lin Yue glanced at the wall of the cup, "What do you mean by this! You hate me so much, and you take care of me like this, this tone! Order me! What do you mean, I don't drink!"
Anger suddenly rose, Fang Hua pressed his patience, took back the water cup and put it aside, "Do you like to drink or not." β
He was about to get up, when Lin Yue suddenly cried, "You stupid!
Fang Hua was stunned, Lin Yue was a particularly strong concubine in his heart, he always looked arrogant to hide his loneliness, never showed weakness, and never begged in a low voice. Tears - even more so for him.
This pear blossom brought rain, and Fang Hua was at a loss.
"How, why did you cry......"
"Who wants you to save me...... I can't even make it. The more Lin Yue cried, the more fierce she became, as if she wanted to shed all the tears she had held back all her life. Completely paralyzed, he even hugged such an action as a luxury.
"You, what nonsense. Fang Hua dodged his eyes. How could this person cry.
"You stupid!!" Lin Yue sobbed. Didn't he say it very clearly, losing the medium of Yan Changkong, Fang Hua didn't pay attention to him, his body was eaten by the True Qi, without the help of the Yan people, without the supply of the True Qi, he would die soon!
"Don't cry...... Fang Hua said. Feeble.
Lin Yue cried even more. How could I fall in love with such a stupid person.
"It's you who say you don't drink. β
I thought it was a matter of water!
"If you want to drink, just say it. Fang Hua picked up the water glass.
Lin Yue was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh, "I don't drink! I don't drink! You stupid...... Will you comfort people!I'm dying!I'm dying!Woo-woo......"
Fang Hua was stunned, his hand holding the cup hung in the air, and he put it down heavily. hugged Lin Yue awkwardly, "You'll be fine." β
Suddenly, as if a handful of candles fell into the dry haystack, a roaring fire ignited, illuminating the soul.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be cared for.
It turned out that Lin Xue had always been cared for because of his weakness.
It turns out that the concubine was born with such an ability to be lovable.
Lin Yue buried her head in Fang Hua's chest, crying like a kitten that had been discarded. Fang Hua couldn't speak, and a thousand words could only be turned into a tight hug.
If Changkong were alive, he would have wanted me to comfort him like this, right?

"Emperor. The madman came to the side of the bookcase with a familiar car, and did not salute, but put the axle cylinder in his hand, which was more than one meter long, on the table, took the cushion and put it on the side of the bookcase, and knelt on it.
"It's coming. The emperor looked faintly.
"Yes. I'm ready. The madman opened the shaft on the table and took out the scroll placed in it, the scroll was not light, and he struggled to hold it, but he still smiled: "I have already written down everything on this picture." The emperor is free to ask. β
"It's just one night, did you write it down?" the emperor took the scroll easily, glanced at the madness in disbelief, put the scroll on his lap, thought for a moment, and asked, "How many states and counties are there in the northern country?"
"Back to the emperor, the northern country has thirteen passes in Kyushu, thirty-six counties, one thousand nine hundred and twelve counties, and fifty thousand single eight townships. The madness replied.
"Oh, the number of counties and townships is not mentioned on this map, how do you know?"
Smiled madly, "The emperor forgot, a few days ago you asked me to read the "State Pastoral Chronicles" revised last year, which was recorded. β
"Oh...... Lonely forgot. The emperor nodded and continued to ask, "What is the country south of the northern kingdom?"
Hurt maniacs laughed, "Emperor, it's Ji Kang." Naturally, there are some small tribes, but none of them have the ability to cross the river, and there is no threat to the northern country. β
"Well, what about the west?" the emperor still looked cold.
"To the west and to the east are no country, and two oceans embrace the northern kingdom. As for the north, the greatest threat to the north is the Great Celestial Empire, which attacked the Northern Customs two years ago. β
"Yes, that's a good answer. The Emperor nodded, "One last question." β
The madman sat up straight.
"Do you see what is the status of these thousand rivers in the northern kingdom?" the emperor stroked his sleeve.
"Thousand rivers?" "The main veins of this thousand rivers flow out of the Paradise Mountain, and are divided into two at the mouth of the Shuangjiang River, one to the southeast, across Ji Kang, and the other to the northeast, running through the northern country, and the side branches extend in all directions, and even flow through the northern forbidden city. In the end, the two veins were united in Yuanyang Ping, and they went to the East China Sea...... If you talk about status, it is not impossible for thousands of rivers to provide for the people of this northern country, and it is not impossible to call it a mother. Oh, in the northern country, say to be a father-in-law. β
"It's not enough. You only said the profit. The Emperor shook his head.
The madman pondered, and for a moment, asked uncertainly, "Flood?"
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he let out a soft "um". He called for someone to come and hung the scroll on his lap on the screen behind him.
The scroll unfolded, revealing a map of the northern kingdom.
After repelling the people, the emperor crossed the map, pointing and explaining, "You see, these thousand rivers lead into almost every corner of the northern kingdom, and every year there are counties and counties that report floods. However, although this small water vein flood disturbed the order of the northern kingdom and cost the country's resources, it was not the most terrible, and with the financial resources of the northern kingdom, it was more than enough to deal with these.
Look at the main vein of the south of the Thousand River, and then look at the topography of Ji Kang and the northern country. Ji Kang's position is high, if the main vein of Qianhenan is flooded, Ji Kang will not only not be affected, but also ......"
"And it will become a big hidden danger in the attack on the northern country. The madness seemed to suddenly realize, and took the emperor's words.
The Emperor nodded, "Not bad." But just Ji Kang, Rao is the main vein of the south, and the northern country is powerless, but it can withstand this Ji Kang's attack. Therefore, the most important thing is this northern main vein. You see, its tributaries are many and wide, and if the main veins of the north are flooded, half of the land here and here in the north will be affected. β
When the emperor said this, he was serious and dignified, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and listened attentively.
The Great Heavenly Empire in the north has always been eyeing the northern kingdom, and they will certainly not let go of such a good time. The Emperor held down the northernmost part of the map and tapped it twice.
"Doesn't that mean that the northern main vein is flooded, and the northern kingdom will be destroyed?"
The Emperor shook his head, "Not yet. If it is said that the country will be destroyed, it must be when the two water veins flood together......"
"No, how could such a thing happen. If that were the case, the northern kingdom would have long since ceased to exist. The madman shook his head.
The emperor stared at the map silently, and for a long time, he said: "It was true that there was no before, but when it came to the first emperor, Lone had experienced it." β
The madman looked at him in shock.
I saw the emperor turn around and said slowly: "That was twenty years ago, you shouldn't have been born yet." β
The emperor gradually fell into the memory, "That day, the first emperor took Gu to the wall of the Northern Forbidden City to admire the peace of the country. When I walked to the north city wall, I found that there was something strange next to the Qianhe branch behind it, and before I had time to take a closer look, there was a sudden strong wind and a torrential rain.
The two main veins flooded at the same time. The water was fierce, and Lone stood on the city wall, watching the water overflow an inch of land, for a long time. At that time, almost the whole northern country was covered in water. It's like the end of the world.
It rained heavily for seven days, killing and wounding countless people. Before the water receded, the news of the enemy's approach reached the palace. Lone still remembers that when the first emperor heard this bad news, he knelt on the ground alive and shouted, 'The sky is going to die, and the lonely north country is going to die'. That was the first time Lone had seen the first emperor lose his color. β
"Then how did you get through it?"
"Later ......"
What happened next?
The madman stood and watched, knowing that it would not be long before the scene would be repeated.
It's just that what the emperor wants to say?
If I knew that way, would I be able to solve the current problem of the northern country?
Thinking, he was ready to dream again.
There is only one dream that goes back and forth. What is Brother Chuan's dream?
Just thinking about it, the scene was repeated again.
Repeatedly.
"Later ......"
Well?
As soon as his eyes moved, a ray of light stung his eyes, and he unconsciously squinted to see that there was a person in the backlight looking down at him, he covered half of the light, but the refracted light became more and more dazzling.
"Awake?"
The madness was suddenly stunned, adapted to the light, opened his eyes completely, and moved half an inch of his body vigilantly and disgustedly, "Qianshui." β
Qianshui straightened up with a smile, "You should be called Lone Emperor." β
The madman looked at the room through the empty space he had cleared, and it was a windowless roomβlike a secret room.
"What are you looking at?" Qianshui smiled and leaned in front of his face, the tip of his nose was wiped intentionally or unintentionally, and for a moment he thought that Qianshui had come back from before, but soon his eyes passed over Qianshui's ears and saw a figure hanging on a cross stake.
"Who is that?" the madman's eyes were like torches, and he looked at Qianshui's shoulder.
The man chained to the crosspost hung his head, but his gray hair and familiar silhouette still made the madman's heart skip a beat.
Breath!
That man!
Breathe!
"Emperor's ......"
"Hey, that's good. Chisui stroked his cheek and sat beside him.
"Emperor...... Why is it here, he ......" The madness ignored Chisui's teasing and stammered in shock.
Qianshui slowly looked sideways, glanced at the emperor on the cross, and smiled coldly: "It's really not good, look at what he does." Loneliness is the emperor. β
The madness looked at him like a ghost, "What did you do to the emperor!
Qianshui's eyes suddenly cold, and he stood up, "Do you want Lone to do anything to him?" As he spoke, Qianshui picked up the hanging sword on the wall, pulled out the cold sword with a groan, and poked it straight into the emperor's heart, "What do you want?"
"Don't!"
Half of his body was already out of the bed in excitement, and a tearing sensation ran through his body, and he realized that he had no strength in his body, "I, I, what did you do to me......"
The madman looked at his hands, and he was trembling.
"What will the Lone Club do to you? It's just to help you seal the dantian. You are not interesting at all if you know martial arts. β
