Chapter 134 The Disaster of the Torrential Rain in the Grand Canyon
The crane in the clouds stood blankly at the entrance of the courtyard gate where Tana was, and Tana, who had just come out of it, also happened to hear such news. m.
She explained:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Fluttershy will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, and she will be able to resolve so many and more difficult dangers one by one, and this time, I believe it will be no exception."
"That's Wanling Mountain with no road! No one has ever been able to pass through it, and there are many legends about the dangers inside. β
Yun Zhonghe still replied with great worry.
"There is no road in the world, the so-called road only becomes a road when people walk too much, I believe that Fluttershy will be able to break the taboo that no one can pass through it, and walk through it safely with a decent martial artist."
Tana was actually a little worried in her heart, but in order to relieve and comfort Yun Zhonghe, she still said calmly.
"What do you think if I send a large army to meet the aid?"
Yun Zhonghe said anxiously.
"Sending troops is subject to discussion among the ministers of civil and military affairs, and now that our new Yunyu country is in a moment of crisis, it is even more necessary to be cautious and think twice before sending troops at this time."
Tana replied calmly.
Since she once led the Qiyan tribe to hide in the west, she knew that the more critical the time, the more she needed to be calm and composed.
The crane in the clouds is too easy to get emotional.
Tana finally understood that the reason why a palace coup d'Γ©tat such as "Sudden Change in Wind and Cloud" occurred in Yun Yu Country also had a lot to do with the character traits of the emperor Yun Zhonghe.
How can you rule a country if you are indulged in the ocean of literature and art, but you are not good at the art of the emperor, you are emotional, and you lack reason and composure?
After listening to Tana's words, the crane in the cloud calmed down a little.
At Tana's suggestion, Yun Zhonghe temporarily summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss the matter urgently.
Before the civil and military officials arrived, Yun Zhonghe received another urgent report
The Eastern Qin State has sent 500,000 troops to come, intending to support Yun Tianxiao and quell the "rebellion" of the Yun Yu Kingdom.
The word "rebellion" alone made Yun Zhonghe angry, and this restoration became a rebellion.
At this time, Yun Zhonghe became even more anxious, and the one thing he was most afraid of was the pressure of the army.
He hated war from the bottom of his heart, and because of his disgust, he didn't want to really face it, and after hearing it, he was still slightly afraid and frightened in his heart.
If the world is always stable and peaceful, the country and the people are safe, he is a rich and noble idler, playing the piano and singing songs, chanting poems and painting every day, how beautiful that life is!
Why don't others think that way?
The wars have been fought back and forth, and the people of Li who have been hurt the most are the people of Lebanon.
The crane in the cloud is full of uneasiness and heartache.
When he walked to the court, all the civil and military officials had already arrived.
"The emperor has arrived!"
When the civil and military officials heard the shout, they immediately bowed down and shouted three times.
The crane in the cloud hurriedly said:
"Zhongqing, today urgently summoned the Zhongqing family to come, there are two urgent matters that need to be discussed, the first thing is about the whereabouts of Princess Yunyu, who is also the current leader of the martial arts alliance, presumably the Zhongqing family has also heard about it, they have now entered Wanling Mountain, how will we respond to them?"
"The second thing is the new move of the Eastern Qin State, they sent 500,000 troops to come, intending to support their puppet emperor Yun Tianxiao, to deal with us, do you have a good way to deal with it?"
After listening to the words of the crane in the clouds, everyone was not surprised by the first news, because they had already heard it.
But for the second news, everyone was a little shocked.
Is the Eastern Qin State finally going to act?
And if you don't move, it's just that, and if you move, it's an army of 500,000.
Everyone exchanged heads and talked about it.
Soon, the national teacher Jiang Yunyi walked out of the queue and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested, up to now, two things are actually one thing, rescuing the princess and resisting the attack of the Eastern Qin State, and the opponent is the Eastern Qin State. Now is the critical moment for our countries to join forces, and it is imperative that we send a distress signal to the other three major powers in time and let them urgently send troops, and only by joining forces can we resist the attack of the Eastern Qin State. β
"Resisting the attack of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, we sent troops to the exit of the Yunyu Kingdom in Wanling Mountain and set up camp, just wait for the princess and them to come out of the mountain."
Jiang Yunyi's words have won the approval of many people.
They all nodded yes.
The crane in the cloud groaned for a long time and then said:
"Wait outside the mountain, why don't you go into the mountain to answer! After all, there are pursuers behind them, and there are many fierce beasts in Wanling Mountain, so their situation can be said to be quite critical. β
At this time, Zhuang Shujun also came out to answer:
"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the current situation, we should not send troops into the mountains, and when the other three major powers send troops to support, the first thing we have to deal with should be the combined army of the Eastern Qin State and Yun Tianxiao, if they send 500,000 troops to come, plus Zhang Xiaoting's 200,000 troops and Yun Tianxiao's 300,000 troops, their combined army has reached one million."
"Our army, including recruits and veterans, is only 550,000 in total, and I don't know how much military support the three big countries can give us? Moreover, based on past experience, the combat capability of the supporting armies is relatively limited, and they will certainly not be the elite divisions of various countries, so even if we can roughly equal the number of troops, our combat effectiveness will be slightly weaker than that of the other side. β
"If we divide our troops to Wanling Mountain at this time, then the strength against the army of the Eastern Qin State will inevitably be weaker, and at that time, when tens of thousands of people from the Decent Martial Arts Alliance come out of Shangli, we may have no place to stand outside, and the situation may be even more severe."
"Moreover, the minister thinks that although the Wanling Mountain is full of hardships and dangers, it is relative to ordinary people, and for the people in the martial arts, there should not be much difficulty, and it will be more dangerous for us to send ordinary soldiers into the mountain."
After listening to Zhuang Shujun's explanation, everyone pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Yun Zhonghe also felt that Zhuang Shujun's analysis was very reasonable, so he gave the general policy.
Next, let's discuss some specific details.
In Wanling Mountain, the team led by Mu Qianmei has gone deep into the Grand Canyon, and the disturbances of the outside world are put aside for the time being.
The Grand Canyon is deep and narrow, but fortunately it is the dry season, and the water in the creek is very shallow, so if you encounter heavy rain on the way, you will be in trouble.
As long as it rains, the water level in the river will inevitably rise quickly, and the water in the high places will always converge to the low places, and it is very difficult to escape at that time.
Don't let it rain!
Mu Qianmei secretly prayed in her heart, but no one knew the worries in her heart.
While thinking to herself, she couldn't help but quietly look up at the sky.
Looking up from the deep Grand Canyon, the sky she saw was not big, and the parts she saw were all cloudy, and the speed of the dark clouds was getting faster and faster, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Is it really going to rain?
After Ouyang Bo saw Mu Qianmei looking at the sky, his brows furrowed, and he asked thoughtfully:
"Isn't the alliance leader worried that it will rain!"
"Yes, I have a feeling that it may rain tonight, and it seems like it's still a lot of rain. I don't know how long it will take to get out of this Grand Canyon! β
Mu Qianmei replied worriedly.
"Based on this terrain, we have probably walked two-thirds of the way through the canyon, and in another half an hour, the person who walks in front will probably be able to walk out of the Grand Canyon."
Ouyang Bo estimated.
"Half an hour? I think it's going to rain in less than half an hour! β
Mu Qianmei said anxiously, and urged loudly after finishing speaking:
"Everyone hurry up, it's going to rain, we have to get out of the Grand Canyon before it rains, otherwise it will be dangerous."
After listening to Mu Qianmei's words, I remembered that last time she predicted that it would rain, it would really rain, and this time after listening to her words, they all looked up at the sky, only to see the small piece of sky above the canyon, and the dark clouds were flowing rapidly, giving people a bit of inexplicable tension.
People suddenly felt that there was also a bit of stuffiness in the canyon, like it was before the rain.
So they all consciously accelerated the pace of progress.
Want to get out of the Grand Canyon before the heavy rain falls.
At this time, the people led by Situ Changxiao had just entered the small river of the Grand Canyon, but it was only about two quarters of an hour.
This is also a long procession, the front has entered the canyon for about two thousand meters, and the people behind have just walked in, and it is also like a long winding dragon.
They followed the route taken by Mu Qianmei's team just now.
When Mu Qianmei saw that it was going to rain, Dongfang Yunfei here also said worriedly:
"Sect Master Situ, I think it's going to rain this weather, do you think it's better for us to retreat? Let's keep catching up! β
"This rain doesn't look like it's going to fall soon, and it's what season it's in, even if it rains, it's definitely not big, let's speed up and catch up."
Situ Changxiao replied with a smile that he didn't care very much.
Dongfang Yunfei was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it, so he could only continue to move forward with the team.
This deep canyon and cool stream water are exciting with a little chill, and excitement is also a little worried.
Two quarters of an hour later, the clouds were thick and the sky was dark
It quickly dimmed, as if it had entered the night in advance.
"Boom ......"
A few muffled thunders rang out in the sky, and lightning began to appear in the canyon.
The people of the Decent Martial Arts Alliance continued to speed up and walked out.
The people of the Cult Alliance also chased at full speed.
Three quarters of an hour later, Mu Qianmei's team had already begun to walk out of the Grand Canyon.
The line at the back is still long, long.
However, the thunderstorm has arrived as scheduled.
During the autumn and winter season, it is rare to have such thunderstorms.
As soon as the thunderstorm came, it became heavier and heavier.
People are in a race against time, and when the rain becomes heavier, the water rises rapidly.
The mountain stream is mixed with mud, stone sand, branches, leaves, and the like, and there is a sour smell in the turbidity.
The large and small mountain streams in the mountains converge into this main river channel in the Grand Canyon.
The water level grew higher and higher, and the stream, which had only submerged at the feet, had risen to knee heights.
When the water level rose to the waist, Mu Qianmei's team finally passed through the Grand Canyon, and under the leadership of Mu Qianmei, they quickly ran to a relatively high terrain and stopped in a relatively empty place.
There is no shelter from the rain, so you can only wait for the rain to stop.
Hua Duanrou took out the long sleeves she carried with her, ran to Mu Qianmei's side, and said anxiously:
"Sister...... Alliance leader, come and take shelter from the rain together! β
She almost called her sister in a hurry, but after she reacted suddenly, she immediately changed her name to the alliance leader.
"Thank you, sister, hehe...... In private, we're still sisters! β
Mu Qianmei, who was hiding under the cloth together, said with a soft smile.
After saying that, he continued:
"It's still my sister's weapon, it can block the sun when it's sunny, and it can be used as an umbrella when it's raining."
"My sister is really good at talking, this is just for show, such a heavy rain, we have already been wet, but it is just a little more comfortable."
Hua Duanrou also smiled and said naturally.
It's like a pair of good sisters who share weal and pain.
Also hit by the torrential rain were the cult alliance and the people of the Dongfang family and the Qinling faction that followed.
They weren't so lucky.
As soon as they reached the middle of the Grand Canyon, thunder and lightning were pouring down, and no matter how they advanced or retreated, it was difficult to avoid the heavy rain.
What's even more terrifying is that the water level in the Grand Canyon rises very quickly at this time.
This is in the middle of the Grand Canyon, where the currents converge faster and more violently.
In a moment, it became knee-high.
In less than a quarter of an hour, it was already over the waist.
In less than two quarters of an hour, it has exceeded the height of a person.
"Hold on to the trees on both sides of the shore and don't let go!"
Situ Changxiao exerted his internal strength and shouted loudly.
But at this moment of thunder and lightning and torrential rain, his voice seemed so weak.
I don't know how many people can hear it.
The canyon was pitch black, and people were grasping for what was around them with their senses, and as the water level rose, so did they.
Not to mention moving forward, it's hard to even stay where you are.
The higher the water level, the more turbulent it flows.
If you are unlucky, you will be swept away by the flood.
No matter how strong manpower is, sometimes there is nothing to be done in front of nature, just like at this moment, in the midst of heavy rain in this canyon, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they seem so insignificant.
Of course, those who are strong in martial arts are still slightly better, and with good physical fitness and sensitive reflexes, they can basically protect themselves.
But those with ordinary martial arts did not have such good luck, and some were washed into the river, shouted a few times for help, and soon drowned in the dark flood.
No one can save them.
In this situation where it is difficult for everyone to protect themselves, they can only watch one life disappear in the night.
In just half an hour, the water level has risen by nearly three meters.
By almost an hour, the water level had exceeded six meters.
This storm is actually more violent than the summer.
It wasn't until an hour later that the rain finally became lighter, but it was already really dark now.
