Lightning flashed and thundered in the sky, and the rumbling noise became more and more crackling. The people in the city were panicked. Normally, the people would have fallen asleep, but tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
A loud roar resounded throughout the sky. Outside the Dezheng Palace, Emperor Chu and his generals showed frightened expressions on their faces. They were all worried.
Even if they were to face thousands of troops, the generals would be calm and calm, and Mount Tai would collapse in front of them without changing their appearance. But tonight, the tide of the Tianhe River is rising, and the torrents are sweeping across, and the natural disaster is irresistible to them.
"Your Majesty, the rain has stopped!"
Suddenly a voice sounded, and everyone was overjoyed. The rain had stopped, the torrent would have weakened, and the danger in Taichu City would have been reduced.
In an instant, all the generals were talking, and there was a commotion outside the Dezheng Palace. The gloom on Emperor Chu's face dissipated, and he turned back to the palace and motioned for the generals to take their seats.
"The heavy rain has stopped. It remains to be seen how far the torrent will rage. You have been traveling long distances for many days. Please go down and rest. Everything will be over tomorrow. You will come back to discuss post-disaster reconstruction with me."
Emperor Chu's heart dropped, and he was also a little tired. Dealing with natural disasters was more tiring than fighting on the battlefield, and he could not rest for more than five hours for several days in a row.
After the generals left the Dezheng Hall, Emperor Chu stood up again and went outside the hall. He made sure again that the heavy rain had stopped. He listened for a long time, then turned back to the hall and fell asleep on the wooden couch.
This night.
Emperor Chu had the best night's sleep in War Continent, until he woke up from his sleep at dawn, and suddenly he jumped up and rushed out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, I slept to death in one sleep, and I don't know what Hongliu is doing now.
"Your Majesty, the flood has receded. The water level in Taichu City has only reached the ankles. Although the city gate is covered with mud, the crisis has passed."
When Emperor Chu heard Cao Zhengchun's voice, he took a long breath and looked up. There was no cloud in the sky and the earth, and the clouds had long since disappeared beyond the sky.
The rain stopped.
The flood receded.
Once this crisis is resolved, the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction work still has a long way to go.
"Zhengchun, convey my decree and order Kongming, Zifang and other generals to come to Dezheng Hall to discuss matters."
After a night of recuperation, Emperor Chu was in high spirits. He wanted to implement the post-disaster reconstruction work as soon as possible and the army could return to the court. There were too many things to do now.
At this time, two figures appeared on Meteor Mountain. They were in ragged clothes and looked extremely embarrassed. They were holding on to the ancient trees on the top of the mountain and looking up towards the direction of Taichu City.
His face was gloomy and treacherous, his eyes shone with a cold light, and he murmured in a low voice: "Emperor Chu, I am reduced to this situation only because of you. The poison of the water poisonous beast will bring you surprises."
.”
"Your Majesty, the torrent is over. Where should we go next? The treasure ship returning to the empire on the Tianhe River has already left."
"Xu Meng, do you know why I took you away?"
"This subordinate is stupid, I hope the prince will make it clear!"
The two men were none other than the Nine Princes and Xu Meng who escaped from Tianhe Pass at night. They hid in the Meteor Mountains one step ahead of the Chu army, because under the raging torrent, the towering Meteor Mountains were their only hiding place.
"You have been dormant for ten years, and you are very loyal to me. This loyalty can be learned from the world. Secondly, you have been dormant in the Eastern Continent for ten years, and you have become completely familiar with the pattern of the entire continent. Next, I need your support."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"I have mastered the Dragon-Subduing Wood. You and I will return to Muke Village one day and gain the power of the dragon. We will regroup in the Eastern Continent and build our own empire."
"When the time comes, you will be my king's only confidant, and you will be the leader of one person and the leader of thousands of people."
As embarrassed as a bereaved dog, the Ninth Prince was still dreaming about scheming the world, and threw Xu Meng a huge temptation, but he actually believed it.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Xu Meng is so heartbroken that he will follow you to the death to defeat Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, without further ado, we can go to Muke Village. After obtaining the power of the dragon, I will take the prince to the capital of the Qin Empire. It is said that Tiandi City is a place that everyone in the world longs for."
"Your Majesty will definitely do something great when he goes there. Then he can take the opportunity to provoke a war between Qin and Chu, and the snipe and the clam will fight for the fisherman's profit."
The Ninth Prince glanced sideways at Xu Meng, with a smile on his lips. He was high-spirited and ambitious, and said: "Xu Meng, I really did not misjudge you!"
............
Inside the Hall of Dezheng.
Emperor Chu was waiting around and saw no generals arriving. Suddenly he saw Cao Zhengchun leaving and returning. With an anxious look on his face, Emperor Chu hurriedly ran to the palace.
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The three armies and people in the city have been poisoned overnight for some unknown reason."
"Nowadays, people have begun to die one after another. Among them, the generals and Master Zhuge have also been poisoned into their bodies. Although it is not fatal, they cannot come to see the saint."
Cao Zhengchun informed the city of what was happening in a panic. The Emperor of Chu looked gloomy. The flood had just receded. How could the soldiers and people of the three armies be poisoned?
Things are so strange, there must be something else going on.
"Zhengchun, come out of the palace with me and take a look!"
Before leaving the palace, Emperor Chu was still speculating that after a flood, diseases such as the plague might appear if the post-disaster reconstruction was not timely. However, he had never heard of people in the city being poisoned after a flood.
A stick of incense later, Emperor Chu appeared with Cao Zhengchun on the long street of Taichu City. The traces of the flood were still there. Accumulated silt could be seen everywhere on the ground. There was a stench in the air, which moved with the wind.
in the air.
"Little bitch, immediately scan the bodies of the people in the city for any toxins."
"Hey, the system is scanning, host, please wait patiently!"
"Hey, the system scanned the poison of water poisonous beasts in the bodies of the people and soldiers in the city. This is one of the forbidden poisons. Water poisonous beasts multiply rapidly when exposed to water, which is somewhat similar to the forbidden magic ants of the host."
"But once it loses moisture and nourishment, and a living human body comes into contact with it, it will quickly release a highly poisonous poison. This poison lurks in the human body for five hours. When the time is up, the poison attacks the heart and lungs, and no one can save it."
So poisonous?
Emperor Chu's mind was moved, and he began to check the information in his mind. As he browsed, his expression was ferocious and terrifying. He did not expect that the water bug beast came from the Empire of Light. They escaped by chance, but they wanted to leave this thing behind to harm the people.
It's simply disgusting.
"Bitch, is there an antidote to the water poison in the system?"
"Hey, remind the host that the current Sky Devouring Empire reward package has not yet been received. Regardless of whether the host gives up or opens it, it needs to be completed as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, even if there is an antidote to the poison of the water bug beast in the system, the host still cannot redeem it."
Xiaojian's reminder sounded in his ears. It was indeed as he said. The reward package in the system cannot be redeemed and received if it has not been used.
give up?
It is impossible for Emperor Chu to give up. The Water Gu Beast comes from the Holy Court of Light, and Lord Bi Zhu is still in his hands. Perhaps he can get the antidote for the Water Gu Beast from her mouth.
In addition, Daji was imprisoned with her, and now both of them were prisoners. Life and death depended on his thoughts. Now that the matter was over, it was time for the two of them to choose between life and death.
"Zhengchun, pass the decree to Shenhou, invite Yue, and ask them to bring Lord Bizhu and Daji to Dezheng Palace." (To be continued)
