"Even the enemy who snatched the Ding Sword, no one studied how to interrupt the first sword-washing ceremony of the Ding Sword, and no one cared whether the Ding Sword affected the surrounding people..."

Having said this, Xie Lingjiang slowly stopped talking.

Ouyang Rong suddenly pointed at the face with his hands, leaned forward while holding the knife, and said word by word:

"Junior sister, don't stare at this mythical tripod sword for now. Go and look over there. The water at Digong Sluice is rising again!"

Xie Lingjiang immediately turned his head and looked south.

From a distance, it can be seen that among the mountains in the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, there are several peaks at the same interval, and green smoke is rising one after another.

At this moment, the two of them were standing near the top of Dagushan Mountain, looking really clearly.

It's just that Xie Lingjiang had been nervously watching the vision of the tripod sword coming out of the furnace and cleaning it, so he didn't notice it for a while.

"Is this... a beacon fire?" She suddenly realized.

In response to previous floods, Xie Lingjiang remembered that his senior brother had set up an early warning mechanism, including a water monument set up along the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek, and seven fire towers in the mountains upstream to facilitate the immediate notification of news.

Green smoke means that the water level has risen sharply and it is urgent to prepare for evacuation.

The black smoke means that the Dickong Gate has collapsed and floods are about to come.

Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"It's green smoke, the water level in Yunmengze has skyrocketed, and the Digong Gate is already in a panic, asking the Longcheng County Government for assistance.

He took a deep breath and said:

"The rainy season has passed, and on a hot summer day, the water level has risen sharply. What is the strange phenomenon caused by this cauldron sword touching the water veins?

"Looking at it now, it was also responsible for the two floods last time. What happened before, let's just tolerate it. Today, we see, it is going to cause another bigger one. After all the hard work in the past few months,

Isn’t all the hard work in vain?

"I, Ouyang Lianghan, disagree! Neither do the folks in Longcheng County!"

After saying that, Ouyang Rong turned around and rushed out of the temple.

Xie Lingjiang stared blankly at the familiar back of his senior brother.

"Elder brother, wait for me, I will go with you!"

She dodged and caught up with Ouyang Rong, who was running forward with his head bent.

The latter didn't look back and said: "How long will it take until the first sword cleaning of Dingjian is successful?"

Xie Lingjiang looked at Qi from afar, looked at the sword Qi light beam in his field of vision for a while, counted it with his fingers, and turned around:

"It's expected to be around two quarters to noon."

"It's half past twelve noon. We should have time to rush to the county government to organize an evacuation, and then mobilize manpower to stop the Liu family."

Ouyang Rong murmured and did some mental calculations.

At this moment, the two of them had already reached the gate of Donglin Temple and were preparing to go down the mountain along the road.

While Ouyang Rong was running and panting, he suddenly turned his head and ordered:

"Little junior sister, you are faster than me. Go ahead and go to the county government office to report the news and calm the situation for me.

"Just say that the county magistrate is back and ask them not to mess up their positions and stick to their posts.

"First ask Yan Liulang and others to issue a county magistrate's handwriting for me, summoning the people in the city to take refuge on Dagushan Mountain, just like the last time the water rose.

“This is a top priority, the first priority!

"Then, let them mobilize official ships and supplies, and wait until I return to the county office to make other arrangements!"

Regardless of looking down the mountain from Donglin Temple, Longcheng County and Butterfly Creek are all in sight, and they seem not far away.

But in fact, Wangshan is a dead horse.

Dagushan is located on the outskirts of Longcheng County, more than a hundred miles away. Without water, it would take an hour or two to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Xie Lingjiang didn't even take a breath. She shook her head and said:

"It's okay, senior brother, I'll take you on the road with me."

She stretched her bare hands towards Ouyang Rong's shoulders.

Ouyang Rong frowned: "It's too troublesome to take me."

Xie Lingjiang stretched out his hand without turning back: "It doesn't matter, I can stop for a breath of air."

Ouyang Rong turned sideways to avoid:

"But it will affect your speed. You listen to me. You go and report the direction immediately. I'll be right behind you. I'll be there soon. Don't worry about me."

After a pause, he said seriously:

"Junior sister, I'm mainly worried that without me here, the county government would be in chaos.

"Besides, I have to take a detour and go to the new ferry crossing of Zheyi Canal first!

"It's the morning of the 15th now. If nothing else, a ceremony to celebrate the opening of the canal is being held there. Diao County Magistrate and the others are all there. I went over to summon them and asked them to organize people nearby to take refuge in Dagushan. This is the first time right now.

One priority,

"Then, I will borrow another boat, take the waterway of Zheyi Canal, and return to Longcheng County Yamen with a favorable wind. This road is much faster than riding a horse on land! We will be there soon."

Xie Lingjiang bowed his head and sleeved his sleeves.

There are several fingers in the sleeves of the red dress that are indistinguishable from each other.
