At this time, the teams of Su Yuchi and Hu Xiaotian were no longer separated from each other. Both sides were rushing towards the same goal, but they heard the sound of rolling wind and thunder behind them. No one dared to look back, for fear that a short delay would cause them to miss the opportunity to escape.
.
Hu Xiaotian slowed down his horse and fell to the rear of the team. He ordered his soldiers to accelerate up Tuolong Mountain. At this time, the surging tide from behind had already entered his field of vision. He was only two miles away from the rear of the team. Hu Xiaotian saw that most of the people were
After climbing Tuolong Mountain, he galloped towards the mountain at full speed, whipping his horse and whip.
Xiao Hui was like a gray lightning in the sky, breaking through the wind on the vast land. Looking down from the air, Xia Changming saw the water line approaching the end of the team, and the overwhelming tide surged in. The scene in front of him was breathtaking.
Neither is enough to describe.
Huo Shengnan and Zhuge Guanqi, who had already arrived at Tuolong Mountain first, were watching Hu Xiaotian's figure with concern. They saw the tide swallowing up the hundreds of soldiers who had not climbed up to Tuolong Mountain, chasing Hu Xiaotian's figure like ferocious beasts.
My heart was in my throat. Recently, the tide was only two feet away from Hu Xiaotian. The momentum of the tide was finally blocked halfway up the mountain. It slapped on the mountain, causing water splashing all over the sky. Hu Xiaotian was dripping with water while riding on the little gray water.
He rushed out of the water and was completely out of danger, and all the soldiers cheered in unison.
Huo Shengnan couldn't wait to greet them. Hu Xiaotian flew off his horse and opened his arms. Huo Shengnan ignored everyone watching them and threw himself into his arms, hugging Hu Xiaotian's body tightly.
Su Yuchi was also out of danger. Of his more than a thousand men, about 200 did not escape. Although the losses were considerable, without Hu Xiaotian's advance warning, they would have been completely wiped out by now.
Just when Hu Xiaotian looked at him from a distance, Su Yuchi smiled at him. This smile contained too much meaning.
An hour after they arrived at Tuolong Mountain, the sky cleared up again and the floods began to recede slowly. During their stay at Tuolong Mountain, Hu Xiaotian and Su Yuchi had enough time to reach a consensus, and the two sides decided to temporarily call a truce to ensure a smooth autumn harvest.
In addition, they reached an agreement, mainly regarding Xingzhou. Guo Shaoxiong's attitude today shows that Xingzhou is not sincere in the peace talks and is likely to grab food when the autumn harvest comes. Su Yuchi and Hu Xiaotian are where
The area is all within the scope of Xingzhou's plunder. It is also their vital interest to jointly deal with Xingzhou.
The setting sun gradually sets towards the west. Looking around, the floodwaters in the west direction have receded by more than half. The hardest hit is Heisha City, because it is the most low-lying place in this area. Now Heisha City has been completely engulfed by the floods, turning it into a vast land.
.
Most of the land in the south has been exposed, and the flood receded as quickly as it came. Su Yuchi sighed: "I don't know if the people in Xichuan and Xingzhou have escaped this disaster."
Hu Xiaotian smiled disdainfully and said: "I have already reminded them that not only do they not stop, but they also repay kindness with hatred. It's okay for God to accept such despicable villains."
Although Su Yuchi is a little disgusted with Yang Daoyuan and Guo Shaoxiong, after all, they are here at his invitation. If something happens on his own territory, he must bear some responsibility. Maybe Xichuan and Xingzhou will take this
As an excuse to send troops to themselves. In comparison, although both families are targeting Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian's territory is located to the east of Wangchun River. If these two families want to attack Hu Xiaotian, they must pass through themselves first, because they have reached an agreement with Hu Xiaotian.
Because of the agreement, he became his barrier. Su Yuchi sighed to himself, Hu Xiaotian was really smart. On the surface, he did not put forward any conditions, but it was he who really gained the greatest benefit from this peace negotiation.
Hu Xiaotian had no intention of staying here for a long time. When he saw the flood receding, he immediately said goodbye to Su Yuchi. Xia Changming took the snow sculpture back and forth to Niutou Mountain again. He was convinced that Chang Fanqi and the soldiers were not in danger, but Niutou
It would probably take a while for the water in the mountain to completely recede, and they would have to take a detour to go back. They would go east along the Xuanyong River and get out of the area affected by the flood before heading south to Tongyuan Bridge to meet up with the main force.
After bidding farewell to Su Yuchi, Hu Xiaotian headed south towards Tongyuan Bridge. Everyone's narrow escape was thanks to Zhuge Guanqi's foresight and foresight of this crisis. If he had not made preparations in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Hu Xiaotian also knew that this crisis was a man-made disaster and not a natural disaster. He originally thought it was caused by Xingzhou, but judging from the direction of Guo Shaoxiong's escape, it should have nothing to do with him. Xichuan's suspicion can basically be ruled out. After all, Yang Daoyuan and others were at that time
The man fled to the west. If the embankment of the Xuanyong River was destroyed by him, he should have led his team to escape south.
As a landlord, Su Yuchi obviously would not do such a thing. The most likely reason is that someone else destroyed the embankment and released the water. According to Xia Changming's report just now, it was two winged armor warriors who destroyed the embankment. Judging from the other party's methods, it is very clear that
Probably affiliated with the Tianji Bureau, these winged armor warriors were personally trained by Hong Beimo. This made Hu Xiaotian feel more hatred towards Hong Beimo. It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge one's grievances. Sooner or later, this debt would have to be settled with him.
Maybe God thought that it had tormented Dakang enough in the past few years, and finally changed its attitude towards Dakang. This year the weather was good. Hu Xiaotian was originally prepared to fight against floods, but there were no heavy rains or floods throughout the summer.
In the case of sudden surges, the dams of Yongjiang River and Wangchun River did not encounter much risk.
Soon after returning to Dongliang County successfully, I heard the news that Yang Daoyuan and Guo Shaoxiong had returned safely. Although these two people were lucky, their subordinates suffered heavy casualties. It was said that Yang Daoyuan returned to Xichuan with only a hundred people left. Guo Shaoxiong
It was even more pitiful that only a dozen of his subordinates followed him back to Xingzhou alive.
Although the four-party talks convened by Su Yuchi did not achieve the purpose he expected, the results were satisfactory. At least in the short term, he did not have to worry about Hu Xiaotian stabbing him in the back. In comparison, among the three, Hu Xiaotian
Genius is his biggest hidden danger.
In fact, Hu Xiaotian also had his own plans. Su Yuchi was like a thorn in his back. He did not want to intensify the conflict with Su Yuchi at this time. On the one hand, he stabilized Su Yuchi, and on the other hand, he quietly sent people to Kangdu to use his influence.
Let people spread unfavorable rumors against Su Yuchi, and everyone will burn their bones. As the rumors increase, sooner or later, the court will suspect that Su Yuchi has colluded with him. In many cases, it is not necessary to eliminate the opponent personally, but to let their backyard catch fire.
It is a truly brilliant method.
After Chang Fanqi returned, he brought a set of wing armor by the way. This was one of the two wing armor warriors who attacked them in the Xuanyong River. Hu Xiaotian's men also recruited many craftsmen, one of whom once worked in Tianji.
Although he had never made armor himself, he was very familiar with the Tianji Bureau's marks. After carefully identifying the armor, he concluded that the set of wing armor was an imitation. Although the above
There is the logo of the Bureau of Secrets, but there is a mystery in the logo of the Bureau of Secrets. If the sun shines on it, the three characters of the Bureau of Secrets will reflect seven colors of light. Although this set of wing armor is exquisitely crafted, it is almost real, but in the Three Bureau of Secrets
Not enough care was taken in the carving of the characters.
Hu Xiaotian then thought of a person. The magic craftsman Zong Yuan who was far away in Yongdu was once attacked by the wing armor warriors of the Tianji Bureau. At that time, he had personally experienced that battle, but the cause was found out by Zong Yuan from the wing armor he obtained.
Craftsmanship, could this set of wing armor come from his workshop, and the two wing armor warriors come from Dayong?
Hu Xiaotian and Zongtang were close friends, so it was not difficult to get the answer. He asked Xiong Tianba and Gao Yuan to go to Yongdu. First, they met with the magician Zong Yuan to verify whether this set of wing armor was from him.
The second is to invite their father and son to come to Dongliang County to help him. Although Hu Xiaotian has many craftsmen, he still lacks masters like the magic craftsman Zong Yuan and his son. If either of them is willing to help him
, then he will be even more powerful, and many of the ideas in his mind can become reality.
Hu Xiaotian had already embarked on a journey to Tianxiang Kingdom in early July. This time he was going by sea. Fei Xiao flew to the northern region to spend the summer in early May every year. Although Xia Changming's snow sculptures did not need to be seasonal like Fei Xiao.
Migration, but after entering June, they became lazy and lost their energy. It was lazy and rude to fly by themselves, let alone carrying another person on their back. According to Xia Changming, snow sculptures are not suitable for long-distance flying in the hot season, so they might as well
Let them return to Snow Eagle Valley.
Hu Xiaotian could only give up his plan to fly to Tianxiang Kingdom from the air in a short period of time. He, Zhao Wusheng, and Xia Changming led more than a hundred naval officers, disguised as ordinary merchants, and sailed a merchant ship out to sea along the Yongjiang River.
Sail south, this is currently the safest route.
The sun was sunny for several days and the journey went very smoothly. In August, they had sailed out of the waters of Dakang. The ship had been sailing for many days and needed to be replenished at Nanjin Island. This was also the transfer station for ships heading south into the ocean. Hu Buwei had
It was here that he led the Dakang fleet to resupply and then mysteriously disappeared.
Nanjin Island is just a small island five miles long and three miles wide. However, because it is the most important supply station in the southeastern waters, merchant ships come and go all day long. There are many businesses on the island, business is booming, and the bustling life is no less than that of the land cities.
.
When the merchant ship docked in the harbor and the crew went to supply supplies, Hu Xiaotianze, Zhao Wusheng, and Xia Changming went to the island to hang out. Zhao Wusheng took the initiative to follow him this time. In the past, he was responsible for his duties and did not dare to travel far. Now the military has
With Huo Shengnan in command and control, the Navy has Li Yongfu in charge, Dakang is busy with internal rectification, Dayong is at war with Heihu, and Yunyang Su Yuchi has reached an agreement with them. It can be said that there is no worry of war in the short term.
.Zhao Wusheng also took a break from his busy schedule and went to Tianxiang Kingdom with Hu Xiaotian to see more. (~^~)
