A heavy rain extinguished Li Xiuyuan's conspiracy and spared the 100,000-yinyue army. Li Xiuyuan's plan to defeat the enemy was shattered on the spot.

However, a heavy rain also brought good news to the decisive victory pass. The heavy rain made the hard-as-iron earth loosen. At noon on the second day of the fire, the Dachu army dug the canal of the Heishui River behind the decisive victory pass.

From a geographical point of view, the Heishui River behind the decisive victory pass is like a stream of water from the sky, hanging on a river bank several feet high ten miles away from the decisive victory pass.

It is the mother river of the decisive battle, and it is also an uncontrollable sword.

For this reason, the city wall of the decisive battle pass is two feet taller and twice as thick as the city wall of an ordinary city. It is not to protect against sudden wars, but to protect against the unruly Blackwater River.

The army and people of Dachu spent a lot of effort and finally dug a water channel several feet wide after a heavy rain, bringing good news to Li Xiuyuan who was sitting in the city of sorrow.

After Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting quietly in the City Lord's Mansion, heard the news, he finally let out a heavy breath, looked at the sky outside the hall and murmured: "Will you take away this piece of Heishui River?"

Xiao Longer, who was sitting nearby and holding a copy of "Rhythm Enlightenment", was reading:

The clouds are against the rain, the snow is against the wind, and the evening light is against the clear sky.

The approaching geese are opposite to the departing geese, and the local birds are opposite to the singing insects.

Hearing Li Xiuyuan mutter to himself, he couldn't help but stop, looked at him and asked: "Brother, are you in a daze again? Do you want you to come and endorse with Xiao Long'er?"

Li Xiuyuan was startled, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and asked: "Brother, if you want to read, you must also read the scriptures. My brother has already read the book Xiao Long'er is reading..."

After pausing for a while, she looked at her and asked, "Are the gold coins my brother gave you almost used up? Do you want to give you some more?"

When Xiao Long'er heard this, he put down his book and ran over, hugged his arm and said with a smile: "I have already spent all the money. Now I am spending Sister Xiaoqing's money."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Brother is only focused on fighting with them, but he has forgotten about Xiao Longer and Sister Xiaoqing. I will give it to you now."

After speaking, he took out a bag, put it on the table, counted two thousand gold coins, and divided it into two parts.

He touched Xiao Long'er's head and said: "You and Sister Xiaoqing each share the gold coins here. After you have spent them, come to your brother for them. Don't ask for them from Sister Feiyan and Brother Chu Feng, do you understand?"

Xiao Longer waved his hand, and the gold coins on the table disappeared immediately.

He picked up the book on the table again, shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, brother, as long as he is here, Xiao Long'er will not go looking for anyone else."

Before Li Xiuyuan could say anything else, a childish voice sounded in the living room again.

Light versus dark, light versus dense, wisdom versus mean.

The mirror and the dowry are opposite to the clothes and robes, and the wild pestle is to the village pound.

...

On the Blackwater Riverbank.

Chu Wudi, Chu Wuyan and Chu Feng looked at the rolling black water river and were filled with emotion.

Chu Wudi shook his head and said: "For thousands of years, no one has ever thought of using this black water river to irrigate their fields and increase the tax revenue of the people and the dynasty."

Chu Feiyan looked at the wide canal under the river embankment and said quietly: "Only the Imperial Master opened up three thousand acres of wasteland outside the decisive victory pass and thought of using this black water river to irrigate the land. It seems that we will have some water this autumn.

A good harvest.”

Chu Wudi nodded in agreement: "It seems that it is indeed a wise thing for the princess to appoint Li Xiuyuan as the general marshal of Chu."

Chu Feng, who was standing aside, didn't dare to say anything, because he was the only one among the hundred thousand Chu soldiers who knew Li Xiuyuan's true intention of digging this canal, but he didn't dare to say it even if he was killed.

Just because Li Xiuyuan told him at that time: "Anyone who leaks secrets will be killed!"

For his brother, Chu Feng has always taken his words seriously. What's more, now is the critical period of the war. Both sides are holding their breath, not knowing when the final battle will take place.

"It's a pity that my brother has no ambitions for wealth and imperial power in the world. After this war, he will return the commander's seal to Dachu and return to the academy to wait for the start of the Shura battlefield..."

Chu Feng told the two of them Li Xiuyuan's decision, then looked at Chu Feiyan and said with a bitter smile: "He asked me to stay in the imperial city to practice peacefully, and wait to enter the Shura battlefield with my eldest sister."

Chu Feiyan was stunned, looked at him and blurted out: "What about what you promised before? What did the Generalissimo say?"

Chu Feng thought for a while and replied quietly: "He said he was not in the mood during the war. I guess I have to wait until the war is over, right?"

"That's okay, as long as the Generalissimo hasn't forgotten it!" Chu Feiyan thought to herself that you have a conscience.

Chu Wudi looked at the two siblings, suddenly remembered something, and said seriously: "A letter from the academy, Elder Huangfu will take our Da Chu disciples in the academy to the battlefield and let them experience the test of blood and fire...

....”

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Uncle, I finally couldn't help but go to the battlefield?"

Chu Feiyan shook his head gently and said quietly: "I guess the dean has his mind set on Li Xiuyuan, so he told my uncle to bring our disciples from Da Chu here."

"My brother is as smart as a ghost. How can the dean do it with just a few words?"

When Chu Feng thought of the two people's experiences in an unknown place, he couldn't help laughing.

Chu Wudi smiled and said: "Elder Huangfu's coming is a huge help... It's almost today. Let's go back and take a look. Maybe they will already be in the mansion with the generalissimo by now.

Have tea."

Chu Feiyan looked at Chu Feng and smiled: "Go back, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time."

Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Why are you so anxious? The generalissimo is here."

...

Silver Moon Army Camp.

Qingyue looked at the battle report in her hand, her eyes filled with coldness.

After a long while, he said to Chun Miaoyu: "In this battle, our casualties reached 20,000, of which 8,000 generals died in the flames... The 7,000 generals who were slightly injured continued to stay in the army to nurse their wounds, but the seriously injured

It has been transferred to Black Salt City."

When Qin Miaoyu heard this, his palm hit the iron wooden table as hard as an iron hoop, cutting off a corner of it.

With deep anger in his eyes, he replied: "Is he forcing us to fight to the death with Da Chu?"

"I think so." Qingyue was also a little annoyed. She softened her words of rebuke and replied quietly: "Wait a little longer. As soon as the medicine supplies from Black Salt City arrive, we will attack the city."

The current ten-mile trenches have been bulldozed by the Silver Moon army. In Qingyue's view, the army can launch a final attack at any time.

The decisive battle is the last barrier for Da Chu. If Li Xiuyuan gives up the decisive battle again, Da Chu will face an undefendable situation.

This was also the conclusion that Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu came to, and they also hoped that Li Xiuyuan would abandon the city and retreat like he did last time.

"That's right." Qin Miaoyu looked at her and said, "As long as we win the decisive battle again, Da Chu will have completely failed in this war, and the only remaining conditions are for us to propose compensation."

"But, will Li Xiuyuan and Chu Feiyan admit defeat obediently?" Qin Miaoyu continued.

"At that time, everything will not be up to these two guys... When we arrive at the Imperial City of Dachu, I am afraid that no matter how many demands we make, they will only be satisfied."

Qingyue looked at the clear sky outside the tent, feeling very good.

Qin Miaoyu had a bad premonition, thinking that if he was so easy to defeat, then the sky would not send a thunderstorm to extinguish the fire in front of the decisive battle.

However, she was smart enough to know that she couldn't pour cold water on Qingyue at this time, as everything was deviating from her original expectations. If Qingyue doesn't find the place where the fire started, she might not give up.

After all, she was a married princess from the Tianfeng Kingdom, but her relationship with Princess Qingyue also came from the cooperation of the Shura Battlefield, so she had to silently watch every move of the Dachu Kingdom and no longer give any advice to Qingyue.

She didn't dare to do anything to add fuel to the fire.

...

Tianshui City, the royal city of Da Chu, in the pavilion of the royal palace garden.

Chu Bailun, the king of Chu, who is five feet tall and wearing a long yellow gown. In front of him is the dignified and beautiful Queen Huangfu Huangying, who is about thirty years old.

Stand aside and wait.

It is said that it is a scorching summer, and everyone should hide in the main hall. However, due to the geographical location of Dachu, the heat is not very obvious. On the contrary, in the garden, you can enjoy a breeze blowing on your face, which is intoxicating.

King Chu pointed to the battle report on the table and smiled with Huangfu Huangying: "It seems that Feng'er's recommendation of Li Xiuyuan of the academy was indeed correct. After these big battles, although we gave up Black Salt City, the soldiers'

There were very few casualties.”

Huangfu Huangying looked at the blooming summer flowers in the garden, and his smile was as fragrant as the flowers on the branches.

Looking at the King of Chu, he smiled and said, "Didn't you hear what the Imperial Master told Ruoyu that the Generalissimo had rescued her as early as Taoyuan? At that time, in the eyes of the Generalissimo, Ruoyu was just a woman who was doing business in the world."

King Chu laughed and said: "Feng'er still has good taste. Even Elder Huangfu didn't like him at that time. He actually became brothers with him in just one winter. The two of them went through life and death together and made great contributions to the academy."

....”

Huangfu Huangying smiled and replied: "This is Feng'er's blessing. Even if you don't see him, all the fat is gone. That's something he can't lose even if you give him a death order... I didn't expect to go there."

After traveling to an unknown place, I feel like a different person."

The King of Chu looked at the eunuch Wu Hua and asked, "Your Majesty, uncle Guo, should be at the decisive stage now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hua quickly replied: "Based on the days, we can reach the decisive point at noon today at the latest."

The King of Chu gently patted the stone table in front of him and said with a smile: "With my uncle personally fighting, why worry about not being able to win this battle? This time we can't go as Yin Yue Qingyue wants."

Huangfu Huangying sighed quietly, looked at the King of Chu and replied: "Didn't the eldest brother make it very clear? He just took Da Chu's disciples to the battlefield to practice, so that they can get used to the fight between life and death, so that they can step on the road in the coming year.

Go to the Shura battlefield..."

King Chu nodded and said with a smile: "Even if the uncle cannot take action, it is a safe thing to have him in charge. This is the first time in these thousands of years that the academy has agreed to allow the elders to come to the battlefield in person. It is not easy."

The chief eunuch said jokingly: "This is God's blessing for Dachu, and it is worth celebrating."

Just as he was talking, the second princess Chu Ruoyu came out of nowhere, slipped into the pavilion, took Huangfu Huangying's hand and started playing coquettishly.

"Mom, you see, even the students from the academy went to the battlefield with my uncle, but my eldest sister drove me back."
