Bai Yuelu should have noticed Chen Baowan's strange gaze.
She is the maid given to Yuan Yan by the emperor, but she has an extraordinary friendship with Yuan Yan. People like her live more cautiously than anyone else, and are more attentive than anyone else.
However, she was too tired today, and the elixirs from the Chen family that replenished her true energy turned into billowing spiritual energy in her body. While she was rapidly replenishing her true energy, she became even more sleepy like a person who has been hungry and satiated for a long time.
The most important thing is that her mood at this time is too heavy.
Even though she didn't know Huang Qiutang's identity, and didn't know everything about Wang Pingyang and the medical officer beforehand, she could already see the demon sect's fight just by watching the battle between the demon sect member and Wang Pingyang and others, and just by sensing the transformation of vitality.
Zong’s practice issues.
In this way, Chen Jinru had guessed the problem with the Demon Sect's technique.
She could see it, Chen Jinru could see it, and naturally many people among the hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei troops could also see it.
Such things were impossible to predict, but there would be no eternal secrets in the world. She was sure that people like Mo Zong would have considered corresponding countermeasures.
So what she is really worried about now is how Lord Demon Sect behaves and what changes will come next.
At this time, since Wei Rui's army is approaching, and since Wei Rui is a great formation master that even Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan does not know about, it stands to reason that Lord Demon Sect should have appeared, or even if he does not appear, then the rest of the Demon Sect will
The clan members should also show up.
"Are you an old acquaintance of her?"
The green-robed practitioner holding an umbrella came to Chen Baoyuan's side and asked softly.
"who?"
Chen Baoyuan was slightly startled and looked away from Bai Yuelu. Following the gaze of the practitioner in green shirt, she discovered that the practitioner in green shirt was talking about Xiao Suxin.
"It is indeed an old acquaintance, an old classmate from before."
"She stretched the bow too much with both hands and injured her phalanges. If we hadn't arrived, her hands would have been destroyed."
The green-shirted cultivator holding an umbrella turned to look at Lin Yi, and couldn't help but shake his head gently, saying: "Of course, in this kind of battle situation, death is inevitable, but such a young man with such a tenacious will is not enough.
Yes, to be able to have so many people following him in such a desperate situation, apart from his cultivation and combat prowess, Lin Yi is also very human."
Chen Baoyuan lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the river in front of him, and said, "It's still too late."
"Too late?"
The green-robed practitioner holding an umbrella was slightly startled, and then he looked at the expression on her face and understood what she was thinking at this moment.
"It came too late, and we have not shared life and death together, but it seems that at the time of harvest, we share the credit for nothing?"
He smiled faintly and said, "You are worrying too much. It is naturally impossible for a person like him to think like this."
Chen Baowuan fell silent.
She wouldn't have thought that way before.
However, when she decided to come here no matter what, especially when she saw Bai Yuelu standing beside Lin Yi talking just now, she had many thoughts that she would never have had at ordinary times.
At times like this, what appeared in her mind was the figure of Xiao Shufei.
She knew very well that Xiao Shufei's contribution would probably be no less than hers.
It's just that some things are called first come, first served, and some things are called, I'm afraid it will be useful without paying.
On a large boat on the Jiangxinzhou shoal, a general of the Bone Army looked at the steamy river surface and couldn't help but ordered: "Let those people from the Guo family come over."
"See General."
Several men wearing Northern Wei armor but with Southern accents quickly came running from a nearby boat.
"Does the water of this big river in your Southern Dynasty rise and fall from time to time?"
The Bone Army general glanced at these people and asked expressionlessly.
The men were slightly startled. They looked at each other with troubled expressions on their faces. The eldest among them said uneasily, "Reporting to your lord, rivers are not like the sea. They only have dry and rich water.
There’s no ebb and flow.”
"Of course I understand that a river is no bigger than a vast ocean."
The Bone Army general narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing the cold light of a wild beast that chooses people to devour, "Although the Northern Wei Dynasty does not have richer waters and fewer naval forces than the Southern Dynasties, do you think I am stupid?"
"Of course I don't dare!" The men were immediately horrified and fell to their knees on the ground.
"In less than an hour, the water in the river has dropped one foot."
The coldness in the eyes of the White Bone Army general has not disappeared. He looked at these men with a sneer and said: "Your Guo family in Fushui County has lived on the upper reaches of this river for generations. Now you come and tell me why?"
These men were shocked all over and turned around to look at the river.
It seemed that they had never noticed the drop in the river water before, but now it seemed that this was indeed the case, and their eyes were filled with extreme surprise.
"It is still the rainy season. There have been heavy rains in the middle and upper reaches of the river a few days ago. There is abundant rain. It will take several months to reach the dry season. Logically speaking, the water level of the river will continue to increase and is unlikely to fall."
It was the oldest man who spoke before. He did not dare to look into the eyes of the Bone Army general and said with a trembling voice.
"That means there must be something different."
The Bone Army general's face changed slightly, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "I want you to tell me what is possible. Do you want me to tell you?"
"There are no sluice gates in the upper reaches of the Huai River. Unless a large amount of river water is forcibly diverted and irrigated elsewhere, the water in the river will likely decline."
The oldest man trembled all over and said repeatedly: "It's just that the Huai River has a huge amount of water. It needs to be diverted until the water level of the river drops by one foot. If such a huge amount of water were poured into the fertile fields of a state or a county, it would be completely submerged immediately.
It has become a country of Ze. We are incompetent and cannot figure out how to divert such a huge amount of water and where it can be used for irrigation."
"For irrigation?"
The Bone Army general laughed angrily, "If your Southerners' heads are so dull and useless, there's no use keeping them."
"Yinlingze!"
These men were all members of the Guo family in Fushui County. When they heard the Skeleton Army general yelling with murderous intent, these men were trembling with fear, but one of them suddenly woke up.
, cried out, "If the water is diverted to Yinling Daze, it will be possible to store water."
"Water storage?"
The Bone Army general's brows instantly rose like knives. He was about to ask again, but at this moment, there seemed to be an inexplicable chill in the air around him.
At this moment, there were suddenly countless loud sounds, like thousands of horses galloping, above the river in the distance upstream.
The Bone Army general took a deep breath and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
"What is that?"
Countless exclamations were heard on Jiangxin Island and on the north bank.
Far upstream, at the end of their sight, there was a striking white line approaching at an alarming speed.
