Sinong Qing Sun Lu stood under the eaves, looking at the pouring rain, and sighed: "The rain in Nanliang is really heavy. How can we have such a heavy rain in Zhou Dynasty?"
Luo Qiwei, the commander of Beidaying, smiled and said: "Master Sun, if we had such heavy rain in Zhou Dynasty, victims would have been everywhere."
Sun Lu quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense."
If such heavy rain really falls in Dazhou, there will definitely be widespread floods and grief everywhere.
Luo Qiwei smiled and knew that these words were unlucky, so she stopped saying them.
Looking back at the study, the empress was still discussing matters inside and did not summon Sun Lu.
Sun Lu was in charge of farming. When a heavy rain came, the empress was worried that the crops would be affected, so she summoned Sun Lu to discuss the matter.
But after arriving, the empress was always inside but did not summon Sun Lu, which made Sun Lu a little confused.
"Your Majesty, will we discuss the attack on Linhu City again?"
Sun Lu said to himself.
Luo Qiwei did not answer. Such questions cannot be asked.
Officials cannot speculate on what the emperor is doing, let alone openly discuss it.
in the room.
Yingfeng was looking for some records of Nanliang. There were more than a dozen candles lit beside her. The empress frowned and carefully searched for the records of that year.
"It's really..."
The empress's face suddenly changed, and she stood up with a slap on the table.
Sun Lu and Luo Qiwei outside the door felt the fluctuation of zhenqi and were frightened.
The empress rarely behaves like this, something big must have happened.
Yingfeng said anxiously: "Then why didn't Li Chengdao take any action?"
The empress shook her head and said: "It's impossible. Since Li Chengdao knows that the lake entrance can be blocked, he won't just sit back and watch Long Chen block the lake entrance."
"Li Chengdao must have something up his sleeve. Please notify Long Chen immediately and bring 50,000 Long family troops with him! Call Wu Jian up!"
Yingfeng got the order, turned around and left the study, found Wu Jian, and immediately led 50,000 troops to Linhu.
Sun Lu watched Yingfeng leave in a hurry outside the door. He didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Luo Qiwei watched Yingfeng leave in shock, also looking confused.
Just today, the empress suddenly remembered that when Linhu City was flooded, Li Chengdao seemed to be responsible for disaster relief.
Thinking of this, the empress broke into a cold sweat and immediately looked for historical materials to check.
As expected, it was Li Chengdao who was really responsible for disaster relief.
This shows that Long Chen's plan of flooding Linhu City cannot fool Li Chengdao.
But it’s strange, it’s been so long, why did Li Chengdao sit and watch Long Chen block the entrance of the lake, but didn’t make any move to fight back?
The only explanation is that Li Chengdao is holding back his ultimate move and he has secretly prepared it.
The empress couldn't wait to rush over to help, but she was afraid that the ghosts would take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, so she sent Yingfeng to lead troops to reinforce.
...
Linhu City West Gate.
A soldier hurriedly climbed up the city wall, and Yan Xihe asked: "Was the lake water this high during heavy rains before?"
The soldier didn't even look at it and said, "General, no. In previous years during the rainy season, the lake water would rise up to the shore. There is a stone pillar there to record the highest water level."
Yan Xi looked at the lake and couldn't see any stone pillars at all.
Wu Hongying felt that things were too strange and there must be something wrong.
"Old Yan, the water in this lake is still rising. If this continues, we will all become fish and turtles."
Yan Xi also knew that the matter was urgent, and this was clearly a water attack.
"Could it be that Long Chen is really up to something?"
Yan Xi immediately thought of Long Chen building ships in the southwest. He felt something was wrong at that time, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Now I understand that Long Chen is tinkering with the water attack.
"I think it's Long Chen who is causing trouble. I'll report it to the Holy Son immediately."
Wu Hongying became anxious, and Yan Xi immediately went down to the city and walked towards the ghost fetus.
Braving the heavy rain, the two people arrived outside the door and were stopped by their attendants.
Yan Xi explained the reason and his entourage went in to report. The two of them took off their raincoats and bamboo hats and went in.
There is also a lot of stagnant water in the backyard, and there is also turbid lake water.
"This slave pays homage to the Holy Son."
The two knelt down and kowtowed outside the door.
Guitai was sitting in the room, with Feng Erniang standing next to him.
"Is the lake water rising?"
Guitai said coldly.
Yan Xi immediately crawled over, kowtowed and said: "The heavy rain has not stopped, the lake has reached its highest level, and the west gate has begun to pour water. If this continues, I'm afraid the city will be flooded with water."
Guitei had long heard from Feng Erniang that the lake water was pouring back.
Not only the west gate, there are sewers under the streets in the city, and domestic sewage is usually discharged into the lake through the sewers.
When the lake water poured in, it first came in through the sewer. Feng Erniang had long realized that something was wrong.
Guitai also understood now that Long Chen must be causing trouble at the mouth of the lake, otherwise it would be impossible for the lake water to surge.
Gui Fei was very depressed. He had called them to discuss it once before and they all said there was no problem.
It's okay now. If there is any problem, please report it.
"Being reduced to Zeguo, you bastards are just like a fish in water."
The ghost sneered coldly.
Yan Xi and Wu Hongying did not dare to reply.
At this time, speaking a little carelessly will lead to a dead end.
"I asked you if there was anything wrong, and you all said no. Now that the situation is like this, you are the only one who dares to confront Long Chen and die!"
The two of them were so scolded that they trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
The two of them secretly thought: Even you can’t guess it, we know nothing!
"Be prepared for a water battle, the rain won't stop for a while!"
The ghost child cursed, and the two men immediately kowtowed and crawled out of the room.
When they returned to the front yard, their clothes were soaked through from rain and sweat.
"He doesn't even know. How do we know? This place has never been flooded before."
Wu Hongying muttered, but Yan Xi remembered something and whispered: "I remember that when the late emperor was in power, the emperor seemed to have come here to provide disaster relief..."
After saying this, Wu Hongying was also impressed and suddenly said: "It seems... yes."
However, when they thought of this matter, the two of them became even more confused.
"Why didn't the emperor say anything?"
Yan Xi said doubtfully.
Daliang is Li Chengdao's Daliang. If Daliang collapses, Li Chengdao will be the king of subjugation.
Why did Li Chengdao deliberately conceal such important information?
Wu Hongying looked towards the backyard and whispered: "Would you like..."
Yan Xi immediately shook his head and said: "Such right and wrong must never be discussed. You and I are not the only people who know this. If you want to let others talk, we won't say it!"
Yan Xi immediately rejected the idea of filing a lawsuit. Neither Li Chengdao nor Guitai was a fuel-efficient person.
Gui Fei is vicious, and Li Chengdao is also vicious.
Li Chengdao didn't say it, so he had a reason not to say it. They couldn't understand it if they couldn't understand it, and they couldn't get involved.
The way to be an official is to protect yourself.
You treat the king like your parents, and the king treats you like a piece of grass.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Anyway, an official position is just a job. If the emperor changes, he will still be a minister, so why bother to work hard.
Look at the Yufu Kingdom, in the hands of Long Chen, he still controls the Imperial City Division.
Wu Hongying nodded and said: "Yes, there are many veterans in the city, and they also know what happened back then. Let them talk about it."
Yan Xi sneered and said: "I'm afraid no one will say anything about this. Who dares to poke into the big basket? If the sky falls, the one who pokes the basket will be killed first."
Having been an official for so many years, I know very well that in the officialdom, after a person is tricked, the superiors will not block the trap, but will give priority to killing the person who tricked the person.
As long as no one pokes holes in the scam, the scam doesn't exist, everyone is happy, and they continue to make money.
Wu Hongying nodded and said: "It makes sense, but it's strange to think about it. The Holy Son has lived for hundreds of years. Doesn't he know what happened back then?"
It is said that the ghost fetus lived for hundreds of years, which must have happened at that time.
Yan Xi said: "Perhaps in his opinion, it is just Sesame Seed'er's matter and not worth mentioning, so he doesn't know."
Wu Hongying nodded slightly, it was indeed possible.
"The Holy Son asked us to prepare for a water battle, how should we prepare?"
