At this time, Su Yuchi and Hu Xiaotian's teams were no longer separated from each other, and both sides were desperately rushing towards the same goal, but they heard the sound of wind and thunder rolling behind them, and everyone did not dare to look back, for fear that a short delay would make them miss a good opportunity to escape.
Hu Xiaotian slowed down the speed of the horse and fell at the end of the team, he commanded his soldiers to speed up the Tuolong Mountain, at this time the surging tide in the rear has poured into his field of vision, only two miles away from the end of the team, Hu Xiaotian saw that most of the people were on the Tuolong Mountain, so he rode his horse and whipped up the whip and galloped towards the mountain at full speed.
Little Gray is like a gray lightning bolt in the sky, breaking through the wind on the vast land.
Xia Changming looked down from the air, but saw that the waterline kept approaching the end of the line, and the overwhelming tide was surging, and the scene in front of him was not enough to describe it with touching spirit.
Huo Shengnan and Zhuge Guanqi, who had already arrived at Tuolong Mountain first, were watching Hu Xiaotian's figure with concern, seeing that the tide swallowed up hundreds of soldiers who had not been able to climb Tuolong Mountain, chasing Hu Xiaotian's figure like a ferocious beast, their hearts were all in their throats, and the tide was only two zhang away from Hu Xiaotian recently, and the momentum of the tide was finally blocked halfway up the mountain, slapping on the mountain, stirring up splashes in the sky, Hu Xiaotian rode a small gray water drenched and rushed out of the splash.
Completely out of danger, all the soldiers cheered in unison.
Huo Shengnan couldn't wait to meet him, Hu Xiaotian flew off the horse and opened his arms, Huo Shengnan didn't care that everyone was watching them, threw himself into his arms, and hugged Hu Xiaotian's body tightly.
Su Yuchi has also been out of danger, more than 1,000 of his subordinates, about 200 people have not escaped, although the loss is not small, but if there is no prior reminder from Hu Xiaotian, I am afraid that they have been wiped out by now.
Just now, Hu Xiaotian's eyes looked at him from a distance.
Su Yuchi smiled at him, and there was too much meaning in this smile.
An hour after they arrived at Tuolong Mountain, the sky cleared again, and the flood began to slowly recede, during the time they stayed in Tuolong Mountain, Hu Xiaotian and Su Yuchi had enough time to reach a consensus.
The two sides decided to temporarily suspend the fighting to ensure the smooth progress of the autumn harvest, and in addition to this, they reached an alliance, mainly about Xingzhou, Guo Shaoxiong's attitude today shows that the Xingzhou side is not sincere about the peace talks, and it is likely that they will rush for grain when the autumn harvest comes.
The area where Su Yuchi and Hu Xiaotian are located is within the scope of Xingzhou's plunder, and it is also their vital interest to jointly deal with Xingzhou.
The sun is gradually setting towards the west, and you can see it as far as the eye can see.
In the direction of due west, most of the flood water has receded, and the hardest hit is still the city of Black Sand, because it is the most low-lying place in the area, and now the city has been completely engulfed by the flood and has become a flooded country.
Most of the land in the south has been revealed, and the flood is coming and retreating quickly, Su Yuchi sighed: "But I don't know if the people and horses of Xichuan and Xingzhou have escaped this catastrophe." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled disdainfully: "I have already reminded them that they will not only keep but will take revenge."
It doesn't hurt for such despicable villains to let God take them. ” Although Su Yuchi was also a little disgusted with Yang Daoyuan and Guo Shaoxiong, after all, they were all invited by him.
If something happens on his own turf, he bears some important responsibilities, and maybe Xichuan and Xingzhou will use this as an excuse to send troops to him.
Comparatively speaking, although the two families are targeting Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian's territory is located east of the Wangchun River, and these two families want to attack Hu Xiaotian.
You have to pass by yourself first, because of the agreement with Hu Xiaotian, you have become his barrier.
Su Yuchi sighed secretly, Hu Xiaotian was really shrewd, and on the surface, he didn't put forward conditions.
But it is he who really gets the most out of this peace talks.
Hu Xiaotian also had no intention of staying here for a long time, seeing the flood receding, he immediately said goodbye to Su Yuchi, Xia Changming took the snow sculpture back and forth to Niutou Mountain at this time, and was sure that Chang Fanqi and those soldiers were not in danger, but the water potential of Niutou Mountain may take a while to completely subside, and they need to go back and detour, along the Hanging Yong River all the way to the east, out of the scope of the flood before they can go south to Tongyuan Bridge to meet the large army.
After Hu Xiaotian said goodbye to Su Yuchi, he went all the way to the south and went to Tongyuan Bridge, and everyone escaped from death thanks to Zhuge Guanqi's unpredictable prophet, who foresaw this crisis, and if it was not prepared in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hu Xiaotian also knew that this crisis was definitely not a natural disaster, and he originally thought that Xingzhou was making trouble, but judging from the direction of Guo Shaoxiong's escape, it should have nothing to do with him.
Xichuan's suspicion can basically be ruled out, after all, Yang Daoyuan and others fled westward at that time, and if the embankment of the Tuoyong River was destroyed by him, he should have led his team to flee south.
Su Yuchi, as a landlord, obviously would not do this kind of thing, and the biggest possibility is that someone else destroyed the embankment and released the water.
According to Xia Changming's report just now, it was two winged armor warriors who destroyed the river embankment, judging from the other party's methods, it is likely to belong to the Tianji Bureau, these winged armor warriors were personally trained by Hong Beimo, so Hu Xiaotian added a hatred to Hong Beimo, if there is revenge, he will not repay the non-gentleman, and this account will have to be settled with him sooner or later.
Maybe God thinks that Dakang has been tossed enough in the past few years, and finally changed his face to Dakang, and this year has been smooth.
Hu Xiaotian was originally prepared to fight floods and prevent flooding, but he did not encounter heavy rains and floods throughout the summer, and the dikes of the Yongjiang and Wangchun rivers did not encounter too much risk.
Soon after returning to Dongliang County, I heard the news that Yang Daoyuan and Guo Shaoxiong had returned safely, although these two people had a big life, but their subordinates were killed and wounded heavily, it was heard that Yang Daoyuan returned to Xichuan with only 100 people, Guo Shaoxiong was even more pitiful, only a dozen of his subordinates followed him back to Xingzhou alive.
Although the four-party talks that Su Yuchi took the initiative to convene did not achieve the purpose he expected, the result was ideal, at least in the short term, he didn't have to worry about Hu Xiaotian stabbing him in the back, in comparison, between the three, Hu Xiaotian was his biggest hidden danger.
In fact, Hu Xiaotian also has his own calculations, Su Yuchi is also like a thorn in his back for him, he doesn't want to intensify the conflict with Su Yuchi at this time, on the one hand, he stabilized Su Yuchi, on the other hand, he quietly sent people to Kangdu, using his influence to let people spread rumors that were unfavorable to Su Yuchi, and everyone was pouring gold and destroying the bones, with the increase of rumors, sooner or later the court would suspect that Su Yuchi and himself had colluded.
After Chang Fanqi returned, he brought a set of wing armor by the way, which was one of the two wing armor warriors who attacked them in the Hanging Yong River, Hu Xiaotian's subordinates also recruited a lot of craftsmen, one of them once worked in the craft workshop of the Tianji Bureau, although he had not made the armor himself, but he was very familiar with the mark of the Tianji Bureau, after carefully identifying this set of armor, he concluded that this set of wing armor was an imitation, although there was a sign of the Tianji Bureau above, but there was a mystery in the logo of the Tianji Bureau, if there was sunlight shining on it, The three words of the Tianji Bureau will reflect the seven-colored light, although this set of wing armor is exquisitely crafted and almost chaotic, but it is not enough to carve the three words of the Tianji Bureau.
Hu Xiaotian thought of a person because of this, Zong Yuan, a magician who was far away in Yongdu, was once attacked by the winged armor warriors of the Tianji Bureau, and he had experienced that battle at that time, but the reason was that Zong Yuan figured out the process of making it from the winged armor he obtained, could it be that this set of winged armor came from his workshop, and the two winged armor warriors were from Dayong Hu Xiaotian and Zong Tang are incompatible, it is not difficult to get this answer, he asked Xiong Tianba and Gao Yuan to go to Yongdu for a trip, one is to meet the magician Zongyuan to verify whether this set of wing armor is from his workshop, and the other is to invite their father and son to come to Dongliang County to help him, although Hu Xiaotian has a lot of craftsmen, but there is still a lack of master-level characters like the magician Zongyuan father and son, if any of their father and son are willing to help him, then he will be like a tiger with wings, and many ideas in his mind can become reality.
Hu Xiaotian has embarked on the journey to Tianxiang Country at the beginning of July, this time it is by sea, the flying owl flies to the northern zone in early May every year to spend the summer, although Xia Changming's snow sculpture does not need to do seasonal migration like the flying owl, but after entering June, it will be lazy and rude, and it is lazy and rude to fly by himself, let alone carry another person, according to Xia Changming, the snow sculpture is not suitable for long-distance flight in the hot season, simply let them return to the Snow Eagle Valley.
Hu Xiaotian could only dispel the plan to fly to Tianxiang Country from the air in the short term, and he, Zhao Wusheng, and Xia Changming led more than 100 sailors and soldiers, disguised as ordinary merchants, and drove a merchant ship to sail along the Yongjiang River and sail south, which is also the most secure route at present.
After several days of sunny days, the journey was very smooth, and in August, they had sailed out of the waters of Dakang, and the ships had sailed for many days, and they needed to be replenished on Nanjin Island, which was also a transit point for ships to go south into the ocean, and Hu Buwei led the Dakang fleet to disappear mysteriously after supplying here.
Nanjin Island is only a small island five miles long and three miles wide, but because it is the most important supply station in the southeast sea, merchant ships come and go all day long, and there are many businesses on the island, and business is prosperous, and the prosperity and bustle are not inferior to those of the land city.
When the merchant ship stopped at the harbor, the crew went to replenish, and Hu Xiaotian, Zhao Wusheng, and Xia Changming went to hang out on the island.
Zhao Wusheng took the initiative to ask to follow this time, in the past, he was responsible and did not dare to travel far, now the army has Huo Shengnan to lead the dispatch, the navy has Li Yongfu in charge, Dakang is busy with internal rectification, Dayong and Heihu are inseparable, Yunyang Su Yuchi has reached an agreement with them, it can be said that there is no worry about war in the short term.
Zhao Wusheng was also busy, and followed Hu Xiaotian to Tianxiang Country to see and learn.
