Chapter 393: Moving mountains and filling rivers, breaking dreams
After a whole night of brutal fighting, Youlan, covered in blood, finally walked out from the ruins of Sirius City with her free army.
In this difficult siege, the Free Army killed a total of 300,000 enemies who stubbornly resisted, and also injured more than 200,000 of its own. It can be said that this was an extremely tragic battle.
Looking up at the sun that tore through the darkness, Youlan couldn't help crying with joy. This was the new sun, the result of their countless lives.
Youlan wiped the tears from her face, got on her horse and started running towards the Blackwater River. She wanted to report this victory to Lin Shuhang.
When we found Lin Shuhang, he was standing by the river with his hands behind his back, overlooking the black water. The wind blew his long hair, showing a unique charm to the orchid behind him.
Looking at Lin Shuhang's back, Youlan couldn't help but blush, and her heart beat faster. In fact, she didn't know why, but after seeing him, she felt inexplicably excited.
"Youlan, are you back?" Lin Shuhang, who noticed the movement behind him, turned around and asked, "How is it? Did we win?"
Youlan jumped off her horse and nodded: "Yes, after a whole night of siege warfare, the Free Army has successfully occupied Tianlang City."
"Very good!" Lin Shuhang nodded and asked, "What about the king?"
Youlan said with some annoyance: "The king escaped with all his civil and military officials."
"Ha, Zhou Changsheng's father ran so fast..." Lin Shuhang couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard that the king of Zuisheng Kingdom had escaped with his ministers.
"Now that the war has been won, what are you going to do next?" Youlan asked.
Lin Shuhang looked at the Blackwater River and said, "Fill in this river!"
"Fill the river?" Youlan asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Lin Shuhang nodded and said, "I have thought about it. Only by cutting off the Blackwater River can the men and women in this world no longer suffer."
Youlan persuaded with a troubled face: "But the Heishui River is five miles wide and unfathomable. If you want to cut off the Heishui River, you must have enough earth and rocks."
Lin Shuhang smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. Now that we have enough manpower, it is only a matter of time before we cut off the Blackwater River."
As he spoke, Lin Shuhang bent down and picked up a branch from the ground, and then started gesticulating on the beach by the Blackwater River.
"After two days of physical inspection, I found that the closest mountainous area to the Blackwater River is eight hundred miles away, right here." As he spoke, Lin Shuhang marked the location of the mountainous area with branches on the beach.
"I have thought about it. Now we have more than 3 million manpower available for requisition. If we want to cut off the Heishui River in the shortest possible time, these 3 million people need to work at the same time. First, we need to build construction projects in the mountainous areas and the Heishui River.
A road to transport stone, and then drive to the mountainous area to cut stone. If the plan goes well, we will be able to cut off the Blackwater River in less than a month."
"Okay, you are our king, and we respect your decision." Youlan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Lin Shuhang's suggestion.
"Ha, okay, if that's the case, let's go back to camp. You're covered in blood. I'll help you clean it up when you get back." Lin Shuhang smirked and hugged Youlan's thin waist.
Youlan's little face turned red as she was hugged. She struggled a few times, but when she saw that she couldn't break away from Lin Shuhang, she lowered her head deeply and compromised.
…
Two days later, under the call of Lin Shuhang, the most massive project in the history of Zuisheng Kingdom kicked off with great fanfare.
A total of three million people participated in the river filling movement this time, all of them were young and strong adult women. They rushed to the mountains with all kinds of tools and completed the process between the Blackwater River and the mountains in just one day.
A wide and smooth road was opened up.
Then came the even more massive rock-cutting movement.
Ten days later, the first batch of earth and rocks was transported to the Blackwater River after an arduous journey. When this batch of earth and rocks was thrown into the Blackwater River, the huge mud flowers stirred up brought everyone's emotions to a climax.
Subsequently, large amounts of earth and rocks began to be continuously transported from the mountainous area 800 miles away.
Thousands of tons of earth and rocks were continuously thrown into the Heishui River. No matter how deep the river was, it could not withstand such filling. Soon, the bottomless Heishui River was half filled.
Seeing the vigorous river filling movement here, the men over there began to lose their patience. Thousands of men consciously joined this arduous river filling movement. The men on the other side of the river were full of strength and could do anything.
Throw wood, stones, and even sand from the river into the river...
That day, when Lin Shuhang came to inspect the river filling movement with his arms around the blushing Youlan, he was attracted by the men on the other side of the Blackwater River as soon as he arrived at the Blackwater River.
"Ha! Isn't that Kunlun, the mountain mover? He also came to fill the river?" Lin Shuhang pointed to a giant on the other side of the river and shouted in surprise. The giant was ten feet tall, and his iron tower-like body was particularly eye-catching on the other side of the crowded Blackwater River.
.
"Youlan, look! That guy is so strong! He actually carried a small mountain on his back!" Lin Shuhang pointed at Kunlun in the distance and shouted excitedly. Looking in the direction of Lin Shuhang's finger, Youlan couldn't help but be startled.
Stayed there.
On the other side of the river, Kunlun, a ten-foot-tall mountain mover, was struggling to carry a hill to the Blackwater River! The hill was about ten meters high, and it was initially estimated to weigh no less than a million kilograms.
Kunlun, who was covered in sweat, was panting heavily. Every time he took a step, the earth trembled. It was obvious that the weight of the hill was not ordinary.
"Oh my God! Is this true?" Youlan exclaimed, she never thought that someone in this world could carry a mountain on his back!
"Look! He's going to fill in the river!" Lin Shuhang excitedly pointed at Kunlun on the other side of the river and shouted.
At the same time, Kunlun, who came to the Blackwater River panting heavily, glared angrily, roared and threw the hill on his back into the river with all his strength.
There was a loud "plop" sound, and the black water splashed up with huge mud flowers!
Kunlun gasped for breath for a while, wiped the sweat from his face, opened his mouth and walked toward the mountainous area more than a thousand miles away, where there were still several hills waiting for him to carry.
When the last stone was thrown into the Heishui River, the Heishui River, which had flowed for tens of thousands of years, was finally successfully cut off.
Looking at the Blackwater River, which was completely filled with rocks and other objects, a burst of continuous shouts suddenly broke out from both sides of the Blackwater River.
Men and women on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cheered excitedly, or laughed, or cried loudly. You must know that many of them have spent almost their entire lives for this day! Now that the dream has become a reality, how can they not be excited?
So they trembled, howled, and sobbed, and began to rush toward the other side of the river crazily.
Soon, countless emotional men and women met in the middle of the Blackwater River. Hundreds of thousands of men and women violently collided together. This scene was spectacular and shocking! It was just such a spectacular and shocking scene.
However, Youlan and others couldn't bear to look directly at the scene, because it was an encounter of death!
Yes, this is indeed a death encounter, because every pair of men and women who successfully embrace each other end up turning into a wisp of dust and smoke in each other's smiles, and then disappear.
This weird scene has been going on, and the men and women on both sides of the strait have not been timid because of this. There are still people rushing towards the other side of the Blackwater River. Although there is death there, there are also encounters, and it is the most beautiful encounter in the world - they
The perfect encounter that you have spent your whole life waiting for.
Lin Shuhang's mood was a little low, because she knew that when all the men and women in this world turned into dust, Youlan, whom he had just met not long ago, would also disappear.
He doesn't want Youlan to disappear. These days of getting along have made him develop feelings for Youlan, a reserved and beautiful girl. Although this feeling cannot be called love, it can also be said to be a kind of dissatisfaction that is higher than liking.
Surrender and heartache. Because, the real Lin Shuhang is actually a very romantic person, whether it is family love or friendship.
Looking at the men and women who died because of their encounter on the Blackwater River, Lin Shuhang sighed, turned around and hugged Youlan into his arms.
This time, Youlan did not struggle, but leaned on Lin Shuhang's chest docilely, like a kitten.
"I'm sorry Youlan, I couldn't tell you the truth." Lin Shuhang said softly, looking at the other person's eyes that started to shed tears, he couldn't bear it.
"Actually, I can imagine this outcome." Youlan tried her best to smile.
Lin Shuhang moved the corners of his mouth, but hesitated to speak. At this moment, his heart was filled with guilt, but everything was already doomed and could not be changed at all. Otherwise, no matter what, he would not let himself bear this guilt.
The two of them hugged each other and watched the men and women disappearing in the distance, with deep sadness in their eyes.
Why is this a dream? And why do we have to meet each other in a dream? Destiny, destiny... Youlan smiled bitterly, tears welling up again.
Half an hour later, the illusory and real dream world disappeared, the man disappeared, the woman disappeared, even the sky and the earth disappeared, replaced by a cold blackness, this is the real dream world!
The dream barrier was broken, but Lin Shuhang's mood did not improve. Thinking of Orchid's disappearance, his heart ached.
"Hey!" Lin Shuhang sighed, shook his head helplessly and began to fly forward.
He didn't know how long he had been flying in this dark world, but Lin Shuhang suddenly bumped into something and stopped immediately.
