The place where the Huai River and the Hao River confluence is called Linhuai Pass.

Because of the Huai River and the Hao River, the two brothers and sisters are not well drained and the water flow is slow. It is a large amount of water that is retained in this section of the river. At the same time, sediment is deposited, and the riverbed is getting higher and higher.

And because it is close to the county seat, the government has been constantly raising the river embankment, so the river embankment is getting higher and higher.

As a result, as the years go by, the riverbed and the river embankments are all above the ground, and they have become a hanging lake on the ground.

At this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, and dozens of boats of different sizes quietly sailed on the river, which were more than a thousand red turban troops led by Lei Protector.

They will join Cao Protector's men on the embankment and then dig the embankment as fast as they can!

Hufuzhuang.

"Good boys, eat slowly, yes." The old lady poured a glass of water for Zhu Zhen distressedly, patted him on the back and said, "Why are you going to eat?" ”

"Your Highness, your father...... Father let you go through the experience, is it just to ask you for food? Mrs. Hu was also puzzled.

"Hmph, it's not ......" Zhu Zhen sobbed while eating the meatloaf:

"My father first let us farm, but then he thought that my life was too dull, so people robbed me of my grain. forced us to go to the street to perform arts, but the people of Mingjiao took a fancy to it, and took us away, and we were forced to join the religion again. I escaped to report the ......"

After listening, Mrs. Hu wiped her tears in distress. "My poor baby, what kind of sin is this......

"Damn, it's done to my daughter, and it's my grandson!" Mrs. Hu was even more angry, and did not forget to ask the most critical question:

"That's right. What about your royal brothers? ”

"Oh yes, yes, yes!" The sixth child secretly scolded himself for being unreliable, patronizing his hunger and complaining, and almost forgot about his business. He swallowed the meatloaf in his mouth, thumped his chest, and asked:

"No more gossiping. Tell me first, has my father arrived in Fengyang? ”

"It's here, it was there yesterday. Your two uncles are escorting you. Hu Taigong replied.

"Does my grandfather know that my father and my eldest brother live in Zhongdu tonight or the imperial mausoleum?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"The Imperial Tomb." Hu Taigong replied: "It's not a secret that tomorrow is an auspicious time to worship ancestors. ”

"Ahh Zhu Zhendeng's face changed greatly, and he was no longer in the mood to eat and drink, he stuffed two meatloaf rolls into his arms, and got up and said:

"Grandpa, gather all the family members and come with me! Oh yes, I have to quickly inform Fengyang Wei, the county government and the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion that the Mingjiao will destroy the embankment tonight and flood Linhuai County! ”

He hiccuped, and then said, "And the Imperial Tomb......"

"Huh?" Mrs. Hu was startled, and the whole person switched from a kind old man to a murderous state and said, "You didn't say it earlier!" ”

"How did I know I came by such a coincidence...... Zhu Zhen said depressedly.

"Steward Hu, did you hear it, don't ring the bell quickly!" Mrs. Hu shouted.

"Whoa! Old master! Steward Hu clenched his fists, and his title changed.

~~

......The alarm bell rang throughout Hufuzhuang.

After a while, Zhuangzi boiled.

That is, more than 200 men in the village held guns and knives, led horses and stirrups, and assembled in the courtyard.

He wore a pulped willow leaf armor, a faded gilded belt around his waist, a bald lock helmet between his arms, and walked calmly to the eaves of the porch.

The men in the village all know that the willow leaf armor and chain helmet of the old owner were seized from a Mengyuan Wanhu when he was the king of the mountain, and he has been wearing it since then.

But by this point, I hadn't been on it for almost ten years.

Now, when they saw the old owner wearing his old armor again, they knew that there was definitely going to be a big battle!

The men of Hufuzhuang were excitedly gearing up one by one, and they had all held back for too long.

Taking advantage of the assembly, the old lady took the maid to give Zhu Zhen a simple grooming, and then changed him into a small armor...... It was used by his second uncle when he was a child.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally had a human appearance, followed behind his grandfather, and appeared in front of everyone.

The old lady first introduced Zhu Zhen's identity. The Hu Mansion man looked at him and became affectionate.

Not because of his status as the prince of the prince, but because he is the son of the eldest lady!

didn't care about letting them greet them, the old lady briefly introduced the situation again, and then said in a deep voice: "Sons, it is your duty to defend your homeland and protect your land, and you must not let those people succeed!" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone responded in unison.

"People are on the embankment! Let's go! The old lady snorted.

Steward Hu hurriedly brought two horses, first helped His Royal Highness the King of Chu to get on the horse, and then helped the old lady to go up.

"Your Highness, the sword has no eyes, you still have to wait in the village." Steward Hu persuaded bitterly.

"No way!" Zhu Zhen's little face tightened and said: "My brothers are still in their hands, I must save them!" ”

"Okay, responsible, worthy of being my grandson of Hu Dabang!" Mrs. Hu excitedly said: "Let's go, let's go!" ”

"Let's go!" Zhu Zhen also said loudly.

The door of Hufuzhuang slowly opened, and the torches were blazing.

More than ten horsemen took the lead, followed by more than 200 wolf-like tigers, and rushed straight towards the direction of Linhuai Pass.

~~

In the embankment section of the Linhuai Pass, Lei Protector and Cao Protector finally connected.

"The people who watched the embankment have all been dealt with?" Protector Lei asked.

"Don't worry, it's all dealt with." Cao Protector nodded and asked, "How many people are here on your side?" ”

"More than a thousand." Lei Protector said as he pointed to the dark river behind him and said, "Our large army is on the river a few miles away. Chaohu sailors are in the garden lake a little farther away, waiting for us to succeed! ”

"Okay, let's do it, time waits for no one." Cao Protector nodded, not wanting to waste a second.

Thunder's men unloaded the bundles of pickaxes, shovels, and shovels from the ship, and then the two men's men picked up their tools and immediately crackled and dug up.

"Holy, why are you so strong?"

"The earth is rammed like stone." The cultists were amazed, apparently underestimating the difficulty of the work.

"Don't talk nonsense, dig it up!" Cao Protector shouted: "Just dig the beginning!" ”

"Ugh." The people below buried their heads in the digging.

In the sound of ping-pong, Cao Protector asked Lei Protector in a low voice: "Tiger, didn't King Ming say that he wanted to come in person?" ”

"I said I was coming, but he had a bad stomach temporarily, and he pulled dozens of times a day, and he couldn't stand on his feet, so he couldn't come." Thunder Protector Dao.

"Alas......" Cao Protector sighed.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? Protector Lei asked.

"There is something important to repay him." Cao Protector hesitated, but still said honestly: "We made a mistake before, those five brothers are most likely not the sons of Zhang Shicheng and Gao Qi at all!" It's Zhu Yuanzhang's son! ”

"Huh?" Thunder Tiger dropped his jaw in shock. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I just found out, and I haven't had time to report it yet!" Cao Protector said helplessly: "The prince came to find them, and I also learned about this secret through the official errand who helped find someone." ”
