Hu Xiaotian suddenly burst out with an angry roar, and once again activated his internal energy from the sea of dantian, he completed three incredible slashes in a short period of time. The same movement, the same direction, but the power of the slashes was stronger each time. The domineering knife
The Qi slash fell on the twisted light shield. The light shield could no longer remove Hu Xiaotian's powerful three consecutive slashes. A gap appeared in the light shield connected end to end, followed by a scream, and the invisible sword Qi split the light shield.
, landed directly on the shoulder of one of the swordsmen, splitting his body in half diagonally, and a cloud of dark red blood mist spurted out from the broken cavity, and the thick bloody smell instantly dispersed into the night.
The twelve swordsmen reacted almost at the same time. They wanted to make up for this gap in the shortest possible time, but it was already too late.
How could Huo Shengnan let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He fired two arrows. The feathered arrows actually drew two graceful arcs in the air. They crisscrossed and changed. They accurately penetrated through the gap torn by Hu Xiaotian and hit the two swordsmen's chests respectively.
throat.
The Tianluo Sword Formation, which had lost three people, collapsed in an instant. Hu Xiaotian raised his long sword like a tiger coming out of the gate and rushed towards the opponent's camp. There was no need to release his sword energy, and a close encounter was enough to defeat the opponent.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the swordsmen fled one by one. While running away, Hu Xiaotian chopped down another one. In comparison, Huo Shengnan's long-distance lethality was greater. At this moment, she shot two more people.
. Six of the thirteen swordsmen died on the spot. The two of them could be said to have achieved a complete victory. However, one thing that made Hu Xiaotian quite regretful was that Feng Xianlin actually escaped.
However, Hu Xiaotian had no idea of continuing to pursue. The sword formation just now shocked him into a cold sweat. If he hadn't realized the three consecutive slashes at the critical moment, he might have been trapped by them. Now Hu Xiaotian wants to
His main idea is to return to the camp. It seems that his coming to Black Sand City is not a secret. Since Feng Xianlin can know it, there may be other enemies who can also know it. Despite his young age, he has provoked many enemies.
, if these enemies swarmed up to seek revenge on me, I'm afraid they would be overwhelmed.
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan returned to their camp. Chang Fanqi led more than a hundred warriors to look outside the camp, waiting anxiously for their return. When he saw that they had returned safely, Chang Fanqi was relieved. He told Hu Xiaotian that Zhuge Guanqi had always been there.
Waiting in the camp, saying that there is something urgent to report to him.
Hu Xiaotian asked Huo Shengnan to go back and rest first, and he and Chang Fanqi came to Zhuge Guanqi's camp together.
Zhuge Guanqi was sitting under the lamp staring at the map when he saw Hu Xiaotian coming in. He wanted to stand up to greet him, but Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Guanqi, just sit down." He and Chang Fanqi also came to Zhuge Guanqi's side.
After sitting down, Zhuge Guanqi said: "My lord, take a look at this map."
Hu Xiaotian went over and took a look. This was a local map. He didn't see anything special on this map.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The terrain of Heisha City is low-lying. There is a Xuanyong River fifteen miles north of the city, which is a tributary of the Yongjiang River."
Hu Xiaotian looked up and saw that the Xuanyong River arched in the north of Heisha City, almost completely surrounding Heisha City. However, it was still far away, and the nearest place was fifteen miles away. He was a little puzzled.
But I don’t know what the relationship between these things Zhuge Guanqi said and the upcoming peace talks are?
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The riverbed of the Xuanyong River is higher than Heisha City. The rainfall in the past two days has caused the water level of the Xuanyong River to skyrocket."
Chang Fan asked curiously: "Sir, are you worried that the Xuanyong River will burst its banks? The rain has stopped and it will be fine tonight. Tomorrow is the day of the four-party talks. We will leave immediately after the talks. There should be no danger."
Bar."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "If it's just because of the weather, there shouldn't be any trouble, but if someone takes advantage of this to cause damage, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. Judging from the terrain difference between the Xuanyong River and Heisha City, once the Xuanyong River breaks out
Embankment. Within an hour, the flood will inevitably submerge Heisha City, and by then I am afraid that everyone in the city will not be spared."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. What Zhuge Guanqi was talking about was the potential crisis around them. He pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Fanqi, please dispatch two hundred people to patrol near the Xuanyong River."
Chang Fan said curiously: "The Xuanyong River is very long, and two hundred people may not be enough." In fact, if they want to patrol the entire Xuanyong River, even if they transfer all the thousand people who came here this time, it will not be enough.
Hu Xiaotian said: "With Xia Changming on guard in the air, two hundred people should be enough."
Chang Fan said curiously: "It is better for the general to lead them there personally. If an accident really happens, it would be nice to have someone to take care of them."
Before Hu Xiaotian made a decision, Zhuge Guanqi already said: "Okay, it would be best if General Chang went there in person. You can lead two hundred people there and station them in two places. Some of them will be in Niutoushan and the other in Pingjinqiu."
, these two places are also the highest terrain on the south bank of the Xuanyong River. These two places can facilitate your observation and timely detection of any abnormalities in the Xuanyong River."
Chang Fanqi said: "Sir, don't worry, I will risk my life to ensure that the Yong River Embankment is suspended."
Zhuge Guanqi shook his head and said: "The most important thing is to save the lives of the brothers. It is best if everything is safe. If things are out of control, you must remember to lead the brothers to gather at higher places to escape."
A disaster." He had a premonition in his mind that if something happened this time, the problem would definitely lie in the Xuanyong River. Xia Changming had inspected the area of a hundred miles around Heisha City and did not find any large-scale mobilization of troops. However,
Zhuge couldn't feel at ease while watching chess. He thought about it and found that the biggest crisis around Heisha City still lies in the Xuanyong River.
Chang Fanqi nodded.
Zhuge Guanqi added: "My lord, it is best to send someone to reveal this matter to Su Yuchi. After all, it is on his territory. Our mobilization of troops may arouse his suspicion. If Su Yuchi agrees to allocate some troops to Xuanyong
Of course the river berm is the best, but if he doesn’t care, we’ve done our best.”
Hu Xiaotian said to Chang Fanqi: "Brother Fanqi, you have to work hard for this."
Chang Fanqi clasped his fists and accepted the order and left.
Although Hu Xiaotian knew that Zhuge Guanqi had outstanding intelligence, he did not think that anything big would happen in the Xuanyong River. He smiled and said: "In fact, even if something happens, Xia Changming can detect it at the first time. It doesn't take long to fly here from the Xuanyong River."
It will take too long, we still have time to escape."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The possibility of a dyke burst is very slim, but we must be fully prepared. After all, we are on someone else's territory, and Xichuan and Xingzhou did not send any important people this time. We cannot rule out that someone
There is a possibility of being behind the scenes."
Hu Xiaotian agreed: “It’s always a good thing to prepare for a rainy day.”
Zhuge Guanqi said: "If something really happens, we must retreat south. There is a Tuolong Mountain twenty miles south. Although the mountain is not high, it should be able to avoid the flood. According to my calculations, the bank will burst from the Xuanyong River.
By the time the flood reaches Tuolong Mountain, we will have about half an hour."
Hu Xiaotian said: "We can reach Tuolong Mountain in half an hour." The thousand people accompanying him this time are all cavalry. With their traveling speed, there will definitely be no chance of traveling twenty miles in half an hour.
Problem. What's more, the so-called river bursting its banks is only a hypothesis. Maybe it will not happen at all.
Hu Xiaotian's reminder did not attract Su Yuchi's attention. Each of the four parties brought a thousand soldiers, and Su Yuchi was unwilling to allocate some of them. In his opinion, Hu Xiaotian was obviously overly nervous and making a fuss out of a molehill. Since Hu Xiaotian was so nervous, he
As they were left to their own devices, Su Yuchi was too lazy to join in the boring fun.
The next morning, Hu Xiaotian woke up and walked out of the tent. He looked up at the sky and saw that the weather was fine. He was immediately relieved. Zhuge Guanqi also came out of the tent. He looked up at the sky and his expression was not relaxed.
Hu Xiaotian pointed to the rising sun in the east and said, "It doesn't seem like it will rain today."
Zhuge Guanqi slowly shook his head and said: "There will be a heavy rain at noon."
Hu Xiaotian knew that he was good at observing astronomical phenomena, so he looked up again. The sky was blue and clear, and there was not even a cloud in sight. How could it rain in such weather? However, the weather in summer changes rapidly, and it may not be known whether the weather will change later.
Huo Shengnan walked over from a distance and said with a smile: "We will go to Heisha City for talks in an hour. Let's eat quickly."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I hope everything goes well!" He got on his horse, with Huo Shengnan and Zhuge Guanqi on his left and right respectively, leading 800 soldiers to the open area north of Heisha City.
At the same time that Hu Xiaotian's team started up, he saw that more than a thousand people in Xichuan also began to move slowly towards the predetermined location. The sun was scorching in the sky, and the temperature rose a lot in a short period of time. There was no cloud in the sky, and there was no wind. It was very hot.
.
Hu Xiaotian covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the sky, then turned to Zhuge Guanqi and smiled. Zhuge Guanqi knew why he was laughing. Hu Xiaotian was clearly saying that it was impossible to rain in such weather.
Huo Shengnan said: "It seems it won't rain."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "I also hope that I made a mistake in my judgment. It would be best if it doesn't rain."
The team in Xichuan in front suddenly stopped and actually divided into two parts. The 500 people in front continued to advance, while the remaining 500 people deliberately formed an array to block the path of Hu Xiaotian's advance. Immediately, soldiers reported the matter to
Hu Xiaotian reported, Hu Xiaotian smiled disdainfully and said: "Yang Daoyuan is deliberately disgusting me."
Huo Shengnan looked up and saw five hundred soldiers from Xichuan in front blocking their way forward, deliberately stopping and slowing down. If this continued, their march would be greatly slowed down, and their arrival at the meeting location might be delayed.
timing.
Hu Xiaotian pointed to the Li-character flag flying in the opponent's camp and said to Huo Shengnan: "Huo Shengnan, is their marching speed controlled by the flag-bearer?" (To be continued.)
