When Feng Erniang rushed to Hukou, Yingfeng had already arrived.
Long Chen was taking shelter from the rain in a cave on the top of the mountain. The carpenters and lumberjacks had been sent back, leaving only the Anti-Lin Army to guard.
Long Chen knew that a heavy rain was coming, so he dug a hole in the mountain in advance. Although squatting was uncomfortable, it was better than a leaky shed.
Gongsun Linglong was soaked all over, and a bonfire was lit at the entrance of the cave, making his clothes smell white.
"How long will this rain last? I think the lake has been flooded."
Long Chen was shirtless and his hair was wet, and said: "The next few days should be enough."
Gongsun Linglong untied his belt and carried a breastplate inside. He wrung out the water from his clothes and hung them on a rack to dry.
"It's going to be a few more days. This battle is really hard. Fighting against the barbarians, even Xixia is not so tiring."
The coldness of the barbarians and the drought of Xixia were all bearable, but the humidity of Nanliang was too humid for her.
Long Chen smiled and said: "You have never been to the miasma land in the southwest, where the hot flashes and mosquitoes are even worse than this."
Just as he was talking, Yingfeng hurriedly got in. Gongsun Linglong was disheveled and hurriedly put on wet clothes.
"Yingfeng, why are you here? You didn't even say a word."
Gongsun Linglong felt very embarrassed, but Yingfeng did not take the opportunity to tease him, but said to Long Chen anxiously: "Li Chengdao knows about Tiesuo Hengjiang's plan!"
Long Chen was about to ask why Yingfeng was here. When he heard this, Long Chen was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
A bad premonition arose in Long Chen's heart.
Yingfeng said: "Before Li Chengdao became emperor, he was ordered to provide disaster relief. At that time, Linhu City was flooded. He knew your plan."
Wu Jian and Gan Zhen came from behind and crowded into the cave.
Long Chen was immediately stunned
When the old fisherman said that Linhu City was flooded, Long Chen did not ask when this happened.
Because Long Chen was young, he didn't know that this matter was related to Li Chengdao.
Just because of this one omission, it feels like the entire layout is about to collapse.
"Li Chengdao knows this, so why do you sit and watch me block the lake entrance?"
Long Chen was puzzled, why didn't Li Chengdao stop him?
Could it be that Li Chengdao forgot what happened back then?
This is almost impossible. How could Li Chengdao forget such an important thing.
Long Chen didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak.
"What did the Holy One say?"
Long Chen looked at Yingfeng, and Yingfeng said: "The Holy One said that Li Chengdao must have a plan, and asked me to bring 50,000 troops for reinforcements. The troops and horses are already on standby at the high hill."
Long Chen looked at the fire, feeling a little disturbed.
"I'll think about it, I'll think about it"
Long Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Li Chengdao once provided disaster relief here, but the problem he encountered was that the lake entrance was blocked.
Then, Li Chengdao must remember it, and he must be able to see Long Chen's plan.
He knew what Long Chen was going to do, but deliberately didn't reveal it and allowed Long Chen to block the entrance of the lake. What on earth was he planning?
He wants Gui Fei to be defeated, and wants to use Da Zhou's help to kill Gui Fei?
impossible.
Without the ghosts to support the situation, Long Chen would have swept through Nanliang long ago.
When Guite fell, so did Nanliang, and Li Chengdao was doomed.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Chengdao to deliberately frame Gui Fei.
In this case, there is only one last possibility left. Li Chengdao wants to take advantage of the rising lake water to counterattack.
However, no matter what Long Chen thought, he could not imagine how Li Chengdao could fight back.
Linhu City has been flooded, what else can he do?
Outside, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and a ray of sunset appeared in the sky, falling on the vast Linhu Lake, which was actually a bit amazing.
Long Chen walked out of the cave and looked at the blue sky, the doubts in his heart still could not be solved.
"Have you figured it out?"
Yingfeng asked, she felt that there was no problem that could stump Long Chen, there must be a way to figure it out.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I don't understand. I haven't received any suspicious information from anywhere."
It would make sense if Li Chengdao used this as bait to secretly attack other places.
But Long Chen had been paying close attention to Xichang, Jin Yiwei, and Shadow Guards who were keeping an eye on everything, but they didn't see any unusual movement in the ghost fetus.
Gongsun Linglong said: "Maybe he is old and confused. At such an old age, he is used as a dog every day. It is no longer useful."
Seeing the sun come out, Gongsun Linglong felt much better.
Yingfeng glanced at Gongsun Linglong and felt that this idea was too naive.
At this time, smoke suddenly rose from the direction of Hukou. Gan Zhen immediately climbed to the top of the mountain to confirm that there was also smoke on the mountaintop to the east.
"Sir, Nanliang is attacking from the east."
Yingfeng and Wu Jian immediately ordered the Long family's army to prepare for war, but Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No, the area near the lake entrance has been flooded, and the soldiers and horses cannot get through at all."
Now the lake water has surged, and the area not only in Linhu City has been flooded. The terrain towards the lake entrance is also not high, and it has also been submerged by the lake water.
Moreover, Nanliang's army was on the east coast, so it was impossible for the army to cross the mouth of the lake.
"What should we do?"
Wu Jian was anxious, and so was Yingfeng.
Long Chen said: "I have troops stationed on the east coast, but there are not many people. I will go there myself."
Yingfeng said: "We don't know how far the other party has come. It's too risky to go there at this time."
If Guitai goes out in person and brings Li Chengdao and others with him, Long Chen won't be able to handle it alone.
Long Chen said, "Act according to the opportunity. You can command the troops here. Uncle Wu, Linglong and Gan Zhen will accompany me."
Yingfeng is a little helpless. Her current cultivation level is not as good as Wu Jian. In case of emergency, she can only stay behind.
Long Chen immediately took his long sword and wooden gun and left the cave, heading straight to the top of the mountain west of the lake entrance.
The road after the heavy rain was not easy to walk, so Long Chen flew directly on the top of the tree, and the other three were able to follow.
When we reached the top of the mountain, the lake water overflowed the iron cable and hit the river hard, making a huge roar.
Long Chen blocked the mouth of the lake just to raise the water level, not completely. When the lake water rose to a certain level, it would overflow the iron rope and flow out.
"Go along this hemp rope and give me your hammer."
Long Chen turned back to look at Gongsun Linglong. The two sledgehammers in her hands were very heavy, and it was a bit difficult for her to carry the hammers by herself.
Gongsun Linglong handed the hammer to Long Chen, and Gan Zhen was the first to fly over on the hemp rope.
This hemp rope was prepared by Long Chen at that time. It can be used to go back and forth in an emergency. It is now in use.
After the three people passed by, Long Chen picked up two hammers, stepped on the hemp rope a few times, and quickly passed through the mountain stream and reached the top of the east bank.
The Nilin army on the mountain immediately reported: "King Wu, an army has come from the east, numbering tens of thousands."
Long Chen flew to the top of the tree, took out his binoculars and looked to the east, and saw three generals wading through the water with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
"He's not actually the leader of the army?"
Long Chen found it funny that the ghost child actually sent some small fish and shrimps here. Was he looking down on himself?
"Sir, I don't think they can get through either."
Gan Zhen took a look and saw that the water depth at the bottom of the mountain had reached more than two meters. If the soldiers on horseback arrived here, they would be drowned even if they were not washed away.
