Chapter 112: On the Embankment
Li Chongrun looked at the old man and his wife in front of him, waved his hand to the left guard behind him, looked at Kong Xiang in front of him and said, "Take them away now, and I'll settle accounts with you when I get back." ”
When the general of the left guard heard this, he arranged for the left guard behind him to step forward, but Li Chongrun did not continue to stay here.
Presumably, the people of the left guard would not dare to disrespect them, if they have any mistakes now, Li Chongrun will definitely not let them go.
Li Chongrun walked out of the tattered ruins with Kong Xiang and asked, "What happened to the dam at Niangziguan?" ”
"There is still one last ridge left, Your Highness should go back to the post station first, I still have to go to the dam, if it can't be blocked there, the entire Pingding County will be over!" When Kong Xiang finished saying this, the expression on his face became sad.
But in the midst of sorrow, Li Chongrun saw the expression of seeing death as home.
Li Chongrun listened to his words and snorted coldly: "Where can I go?" Let's go, go to the dam! ”
"Your Highness, by all means!" As soon as Li Chongrun finished speaking, General Zuo Wei and Kong Xiang said in unison.
General Zuo Wei walked directly in front of Li Chongrun, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you go back to the post station first, the terrain is high, even if the embankment is broken, there will be no accident, I will go up with them." ”
"Is this the time to say that? If the lady breaks the embankment, everyone present will follow the funeral. ”
What Li Chongrun said is not alarmist.
Wu Zetian is extra optimistic about the disaster situation in Bingzhou.
If something happens here, Wu Zetian will definitely be furious, and at that time, everyone present will be buried with him.
While speaking, Kong Xiang did not refute Li Chongrun's words again, but led everyone towards the Niangziguan embankment.
General Zuo Wei has been following Li Chongrun's side, for fear that something will happen.
Pingding County is not far from Niangzi Pass, but the road is not easy to walk.
The group walked for an hour before arriving at the location of the embankment.
From afar, I saw a group of people standing on the dam, holding their trouser legs and carrying sacks, building fortifications on the dam.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and although it is still early, the dam must be blocked today, and if it gets dark, there may be no chance.
Now that Li Chongrun has already stepped onto the dam, he knows that his fate has been tied to everyone present at this time.
One is prosperous, and one is lost.
When he arrived at the dam, Li Chongrun saw a strong man in front of him staggering with a sack on his shoulder.
didn't have time to think about it, Li Chongrun rushed forward with a brisk step.
Hurriedly supported behind the strong man, "It's okay!" ”
Li Chongrun asked loudly.
"Occupy! It's okay! ”
The big man felt the power of Li Chongrun's help, grabbed the sack on his shoulder, and ran towards the embankment.
Although the rain is very heavy, it moves very quickly.
The general of the left guard looked at Li Chongrun's actions and the busy people, and shouted loudly to the left guard beside him: "From now on, listen to the command of Master Kong, help with the construction of the fortifications, and pay attention to safety." ”
After speaking, General Zuo Wei arranged for the two people around him to follow Li Chongrun's side, even if they were working, they couldn't be too far away from Li Chongrun.
Of course, he himself was around Li Chongrun, and he didn't dare to leave half a step.
Kong Xiang saw that Li Chongrun, who was beside him, had already rolled up the corners of his trousers, followed behind the strong man just now, and began to carry the sack and ran towards the dam.
Kong Xiang didn't contain a lake, he pulled up the sack next to him, threw it directly on his shoulder, and then without saying a word, he still put another sack on his shoulder.
Li Chongrun was stunned when he watched from the side, he never expected that this seemingly weak Kong Xiang was still a strong man.
Two sacks were carried on their shoulders, and there was no pressure at all.
He quickly ran to Li Chongrun's side, baring his teeth and laughing, "I didn't expect His Highness to be able to do this job?" ”
"Two are laborious, but one is still fine!" Li Chongrun looked at Kong Xiang frankly and said.
The two men walked up to the dam, one after the other.
After walking on the dam, Li Chongrun saw the scene clearly, at this time, there was already a flood on the opposite side, and the embankment in front of them was the last line of defense between Pingding County and the flood.
If the levee bursts, the monstrous flood will instantly submerge the place, and tens of thousands of people behind them will die in the flood.
At this time, the thousands of people on the embankment will be flooded in an instant.
Li Chongrun carried the sack on his shoulder and stood neatly on the embankment.
As soon as he put the sack down, he watched Kong Xiang run towards the embankment, where he was going to direct the people there to build fortifications.
And just now Li Chongrun helped that person run in front of Li Chongrun, stretched out his hand, and swept the mud off Li Chongrun's shoulder.
The general of the left guard, who was standing in the distance, was nervous at first, and only after seeing the man's movements clearly did he feel relieved.
The big man looked at Li Chongrun in front of him and smiled, the rain flowed into his mouth, and he swallowed it without any hesitation, "Brother, look at the face!" New here? ”
Li Chongrun nodded, "Just came up!" He spoke in a loud voice, but he was half overwhelmed by the rain.
The brother nodded and said to Li Chongrun: "My name is Liu Erniu, you follow me, I will take you to do it!" ”
"Good!" Li Chongrun readily agreed.
Liu Erniu's age looks almost the same as Li Chongrun, but the tendon meat on his body is much stronger than Li Chongrun, and his bronzed skin makes him look stronger.
Li Chongrun really followed behind Liu Erniu, and every time the sack was on his shoulder, Liu Erniu would support him behind his back.
Although Li Chongrun is not as strong as him. But the strength in his hands is not bad.
Seeing Li Chongrun carrying a sack behind him, Liu Erniu looked at Li Chongrun and said with a smile: "I saw that you haven't done these jobs, why did you run here." ”
Li Chongrun did not answer his words, but asked rhetorically: "How do you see it?" ”
"Look at your neck, it's all red!" Liu Erniu looked at Li Chongrun and smiled, then took off the only half of his shirt and wrapped it around Li Chongrun's neck, "Don't dislike it, there is no smell of sweat in the rain, you insist on it!" ”
Li Chongrun watched Liu Erniu wrap the clothes of his upper body around his neck, and saw that the young man in front of him had seven or eight scars on his body, and he was shocked in his heart, so he broke free from Liu Erniu's action and said, "You put it on, it's cold."
Before he finished saying this, Li Chongrun felt that he was not bad at this dress, and it didn't matter if he was cold or not.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Erniu pulling up two sacks, still on his shoulders, and ran towards the dam.
Li Chongrun looked at Liu Erniu in front of him and followed.
At this time, Kong Xiang was standing on the dam, waving his arms at Liu Erniu, and shouted loudly: "Erniu, come here, hurry!" ”
Kong Xiang hissed exhausted, and Li Chongrun listened to his shout with an ominous premonition.
