Chapter 165: Haze (II)
Baisha County, under the magnificent attic, the door of Nanmu inlaid with gold wire is closed.
The hall, which should have been shrouded in night, was illuminated by the candles on one hundred and sixty-five bronze shelves.
In the firelight, the surface of the masonry mounted on the giant pillar emitted a brilliant and colorful light.
In the colored light, there is a scorching warmth, which is enough to make ordinary people sweat.
Chen Yunfeng was wearing a cyan robe, sitting upright on the iron seat, his hands gently caressing the white ivory on the edge of the seat.
"The coalition forces should have been stationed in Ningchuan. ”
"Yu Ruo. ”
Chen Yunfeng looked down at the center of the hall, and Yu Ruo, whose whole body was tied with ribbons, was lying on a low couch.
Yu Ruo leaned on the high pillow with his back and looked up at Chen Yunfeng.
He was too badly injured to move, but he struggled to keep his voice calm and clear.
"In. ”
"Although there have been twists and turns in the process, the plan you have set has been fully implemented. ”
"We have lost less than we expected. ”
The corners of Chen Yunfeng's mouth curled slightly, and his hands grabbed the ivory on the pole along the iron pedestal.
He straightened up, a hint of pride and joy on his face.
"Yu Ruo. ”
"It seems that we won the bet this time. ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruo met Chen Yunfeng's gaze, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and pulled the wound on his body.
He frowned, gritting his teeth.
"The county lord. ”
"The Taoist master once told me that the strong people of the Liu family can drive away the natural Gangyuan. ”
"Although the power of the Demon Slaying Array is incomparable, it is essentially to use our Gang Yuan to resonate with heaven and earth, causing a Yuan Qi riot. ”
Yu Ruoshu stretched out the wrinkles between her eyebrows and let out a sigh.
His face was calm, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Since it's the same attribute. Naturally, the amount of damage that can be dealt will be greatly reduced. ”
"From the very beginning, I knew that the Demon Slayer Array couldn't kill him. ”
"But he also thought that after bearing the power of the demon slaying array, he would fight with the cultivators of the counties and lose both. ”
"I didn't expect it to end like this. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yunfeng restrained the smile on his face, pursed his lips slightly, and sighed.
"The Liu family is strong, it is indeed powerful. ”
"Only really fought against it. In order to directly appreciate the disparity between our strength and others. ”
"But fortunately, the Liu family has offended Qingfeng. ”
The smile on Chen Yunfeng's face became even stronger, and he slowly stood up.
He descended the stone steps, stepped on the red blanket spread on the marble, and walked to Yu Ruo's side step by step.
"Even if the Liu family is far stronger than us, it is impossible to compare with Qingfeng. ”
"Yu Ruo. ”
Chen Yunfeng turned around, facing Yu Ruo, and arched his hands.
"This time. You are in danger and alone to resist the strong people of the Liu family. ”
"It's really my incompetence. ”
Chen Yunfeng lowered his head slightly and bowed respectfully to Yu Ruo.
"County Lord......"
Yu Ruo turned his head to look at Chen Yunfeng, who was saluting him, and there was a sparkling light in his eyes.
He was moved. Turned around.
"Yu Ruo has already sworn that he is willing to smear the liver and brain of the Chen family in this life. ”
"What's the pity?"
Hearing this, Chen Yunfeng let go of his hands. Facing Yu Ruo, he straightened his waist.
"Strategist. ”
"There is only one life for everyone. ”
Chen Yunfeng put away the smile on his face. His eyes looked directly at Yu Ruo's side face.
"Since you are willing to hand over your life to the Chen family, then I should also hand over the Chen family to you. ”
"From now on. ”
"Everyone in the county, including Chen Zhe, sees you as if they see me. ”
"In my absence, your words are my words. ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruo was silent for a moment, and then immediately widened his eyes.
He turned his head again and looked at Chen Yunfeng for a moment.
Chen Yunfeng's face was solemn, and after nodding to Yu Ruo, he turned around and strode towards the closed temple door.
Outside Baisha County, at the end of the road that crosses the moat.
Chen Zhe, who was wearing silver chain mail, was standing on the high platform of the makeshift group.
In front of the high platform, a series of soup kitchens were built, and a large number of homeless and unclothed homeless people gathered in front of the shacks.
The silver-armored generals held copper spoons and scooped thin corn soup for the homeless.
The new soldiers, who rode their horses with their saddles but were still not good at riding, wandered crookedly beside the homeless people, cleaning up the discipline and queues of the hungry people.
In several consecutive battles, the soldiers of Baisha County have been seriously injured, and they really need new pawns to fill them.
And because of the several important places that were divided, the people who were driven away by the soldiers of other counties, plus the people who were killed by the flood.
Taking advantage of the autumn harvest, there is plenty of grain and millet.
The number of soldiers in Baisha County was replenished very quickly.
Grass Cloud Domain, the source of the giant lake.
The embankment built in the middle of the lake has been extended for more than 900 meters.
Standing on the shore of the lake, Arigen stared at the embankment and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm not here, and I can make this progress. ”
"Naphtha. ”
Arigen put his hands behind his back and a satisfied smile on his face.
"You've done a good job. ”
Hearing this, standing upright behind Yougen, wearing a stone brain with a brute tiger armor, he clenched his fists towards Yougen.
"It was all according to the instructions of the chief that this was achieved. ”
"Huh. ”
Yougen chuckled and shook his head.
"It's good. ”
"Naphtha. ”
Yougen crouched down, staring intently at the rippling rapids on the surface of the lake, and his tone was slightly low.
"How's the drain going?"
Hearing this, Shi Nao pursed his lips and responded loudly.
"Chief. ”
"The people were very welcoming, and the ditches were dug very quickly. ”
Hearing this, Yougen put away the smile on his face and stood up.
"The autumn grain has been harvested. ”
"The county lord has also asked people to select millet seeds, and they will be sent in the near future. ”
"Before the millet seeds are delivered, the lake has to be partially drained to free up the silt at the bottom of the lake. ”
"The levees also had to be built in late autumn. ”
Yougen turned around with a solemn face and stared at the stone brain with his hands clenched into fists.
"There is still a kilometre of water left before the dam can completely block the water entering the lake. ”
"And, when the levee is built, it has to be filled with bags of stone and sand around it. ”
Then he leaned on the leather bag and buried it in the soil. ”
"It's a lot of work. ”
"Winter ploughing is approaching again. ”
"Naphtha. ”
Yougen pursed his lips, his eyes moving slightly.
"Drainage, embankment construction and farming, all have to be done together. ”
"I will propose to the county lord to let Bayu and Monkey Stone come and help you. ”
"Everything is heavy and dangerous, so be careful. ”
Hearing this, Shi Nao heard the concern in Yougen's words, and then his face was moved.
He hung his head and replied loudly, "Yes!"
Ningchuan, at the board wall.
Liu Heng, who was wearing a brute tiger armor, held the halberd horizontally with both hands, and stood alone in front of the battlement.
He stared intently at the coalition camp outside the wall, a hundred miles away from Ningchuan.
Red flames, floating on the surface of his body.
The river, which had spread to the edge of the wall, had retreated back into the channel.
Sergeant Liu, who was riding in a flat boat, kept going in and out through the open gate.
Liu's soldiers threw iron nails and sharp logs into the waterway, and also cleaned up the defects and smoke marks on the board walls. (To be continued......)
