The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 74
Li Hualuo quickly helped him up: "Actually, without the support from you Hanshui people, Southern Xinjiang might be in danger."

After speaking, he ordered all the people to start digging the channel.

In a blink of an eye, there were only a few of them left in the temple.

Li Hualuo just returned to the hut just now, closed the door, and with a slight look, Jiang Ying understood and unlocked the acupuncture points for the man.As soon as the man could move, he wanted to run away. The sword in Jiang Ying's hand was halfway out and rested on his neck.

He trembled, stopped quickly, and looked at Lihualuo tremblingly, he had long lost the energy to speak and scream just now.Only then did Jiang Ying take the sword back.

"Tell me, who ordered you." Li Hualuo asked lightly.

"Come on, come on... come on!" He instinctively yelled outside a few times, but found that something was wrong. No one responded to him at all, but the weather outside told him that even if someone left the temple, there would be no one. Probably none left.

Yes, it was still raining outside.

Seeing Li Hualuo frown, Jiang Ying knew that she was a little impatient, so she said in a very blunt and cold tone: "Say it now, or go to hell!"

Of course, this sentence was just to scare him.Sure enough, he had to be tough to deal with his soft bones!
"I said! I said!" The man was so frightened that he immediately gave up.

"Last night I got up at night to go to the latrine. Suddenly, the water god descended from the sky, and thunder was everywhere. I was so frightened that I quickly knelt down. I only heard that the water god said that some strangers came from Hanshui and rushed him. The child is a living sacrifice, otherwise the entire Han River will be submerged!" He spoke seriously, not like he was lying at all.

"Water god? Can you tell me what the water god looks like?" Li Hualuo's casual words gave people an extremely intimidating force.

The man was about to cry, but with a bitter face, he said: "Girl, can we ordinary people see what the water god looks like? All he can see is his black clothes."

"Is there a hat on the head, and the whole face is covered with veil?" Li Hualuo asked.

Unexpectedly, he knocked down heavily on the ground after hearing this: "Girl, if I know you are so extraordinary, I won't offend you for it!"

Seeing him kowtow like pounding garlic, Li Hualuo felt a headache.Jiang Ying quickly lifted him up: "This girl asks you anything, and you answer me!"

"Yes... yes!" He nodded timidly, completely different from the arrogance he had before.

After "Yes", she shrank her head curiously and asked, "Girl, how do you know that he is wearing a hat that covers his face?"

Jiang Ying patted him on the back with the scabbard put away: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

"You can go." Li Hualuo finished asking all the questions, and signaled Jiang Ying to let him go.

As soon as he heard that he was going to be let go, he hurriedly scrambled and ran out.

After seeing him leave, Li Hualuo said calmly: "I suspect that the person behind this is the same person who used the Dementor Ling in Yangjia Town last time. Maybe he is the mastermind of the hidden sect."

"It seems that this person should not be underestimated, he actually followed us all the way here." Several times of private fights, Zi Lixuan has already seriously felt the threat of this person.

After finishing, he bowed meaningfully to Li Hualuo, and said: "Miss Luo, I believe that this move to the south is not just a simple disaster relief, but a deep intention, thank you."

"Mr. Yun is polite." Lihua fell back to the etiquette of the world.

Then he asked again: "Since Mr. Yun has realized the deep intentions, I don't know what the intentions are? Why don't you listen to them one by one."

Zi Lixuan slightly nodded and said: "The Han River is close to the southern border, and the supply of materials in this area will directly affect the life and death of the southern border at the critical moment. The main reason is the existence of the Han River. It not only nourishes the people of this side, but also the only way to A canal to the border rivers of southern Xinjiang."

Li Hualuo nodded: "That's right, this canal is the only shortcut for material delivery. Compared with the land route, it is a full journey faster. Once a war breaks out in southern Xinjiang, the escort of materials must not be slow."

Even though what Li Hualuo said was reasonable, the facts were contrary to it.Zi Lixuan replied: "The military in the south is consolidated. Even if there is a war, there is no need to worry about the supply of supplies. What's more, the canal has been washed out of many dangerous shoals after several floods. It is easy for ships to escort supplies. ACCIDENT."

Li Hualuo asked instead: "Do you think the purpose of hidden teaching is me or you?"

"This..." Zi Lixuan has no verdict on this matter.

Li Hualuo had no choice but to continue: "When Xing Chen was poisoned in the inn, I have already found out that the people in the Poison Palace just wanted to use the people around me to lure me out. Their goal is me, and this hidden sect, obviously, He has tracked our whereabouts all the way here, and his purpose is not only to get rid of my hidden danger, but also to threaten him, he will not let it go."

After finishing speaking, she returned to the previous topic and said: "His original purpose was to get rid of me, but because of some schemes, now you are also in his target. Therefore, his purpose may be even more ambitious. Now Now southern Xinjiang is militarily consolidated, but there is always a moment of turmoil."

Zi Lixuan sighed: "That's why Miss Luo won't ask me to go south, I'm afraid I have seen all the situation thoroughly."

This sigh is a sigh for the coming troubled times.

"Aside from all these situations, being able to manage the disaster in the Hanshui area is also a benefit." This sentence can be regarded as what Zi Lixuan understood the most.

Lihualuo waited for this sentence to benefit one party, and she was right.

Suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Did Mr. Yun really order the supplies to be escorted south?"

When mentioning this matter, Zi Lixuan frowned, knowing the ending without thinking.Sure enough, he replied: "This matter is only a plan to slow down the troops. The situation in Hanshui has too many refugees. The emperor only agreed to go south. He didn't pay attention to the opening of the granary and supplies."

"I'm afraid he is thinking that if one party accepts bribes and the people will be blessed without governance. Mr. Yun, can you write a letter and send it back to Yucheng now? The water engineering of the Han River is difficult. If there is no supply, I am afraid no one will I am willing to continue." What she fears is that those people will be powerless because of a lie, so even if they know the benefits of this project, they will not give up.

"This..." Zi Lixuan didn't know the importance of supplies, but he didn't have the confidence to convince the emperor.

Li Hualuo said bluntly: "The above-mentioned two major disasters of the Han River flood and drought have been eliminated, so that next year's harvest can increase the government tax by [-]%."

[-]%?

These two words completely shocked everyone in the room.

Everyone looked at her as if they were saying "I heard you right"?
Li Hualuo's expression was serious, it didn't seem like she was telling a lie at all, and it didn't seem like she made such a bad move because of the situation.
