Water Margin people

Tokyo.

It rained heavily for two consecutive days, and the rivers throughout Tokyo slowly rose.

"What's going on? Why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden?"

Sun Li frowned as he looked at the pouring rain outside. The war in Puzhou was now going on, and this heavy rain extinguished the flames of the war.

"Your injury is not fully healed yet, so don't catch the cold."

Leshi handed over the hot tea and said.

"It's almost done!"

Sun Li smiled and waved his bandaged hand. He had almost recovered from the injury that he had nursed for so long. Now he could walk slowly on the ground without any problem, but he had to pretend to be sick.

At this moment, Lehe entered the yard wearing a raincoat.

"Sister-brother-in-law!"

Lehe looked at Sun Li and his sister with a smile.

"Here comes Lehe. You're wet from the heavy rain. I'll go get myself cleaned up! I'll get some food and drinks. You guys can talk first!"

Seeing that Lehe was coming, Leshi smiled and stepped forward to help Lehe take off his coir raincoat. Seeing that Lehe's clothes were wet, he went to the back hall to get clothes.

"Why did it rain so hard?"

Sun Li looked at Lehe and asked. Lehe must have something important to come here despite the heavy rain.

"There's going to be a flood in Tokyo!"

Lehe said straight to the point.

"Big water? A heavy rain won't be enough!"

Sun Li sat up and said in confusion, "Although the rain is heavy, it won't cause flooding. Tokyo has been guarding against flooding since it was built. The rivers flowing through Tokyo are Tokyo's biggest guarantee."

"It's not just rain..."

Lehe told Sun Li the news that Du Chong dug out the Yellow River, filled the Liangshan Pond with water, and poured the Wuzhang River back into Tokyo.

"what!"

Sun Li was so frightened that he stood up. Although his legs were bandaged and looked seriously injured, he stood still and steady.

"Why are you standing up?"

Leshi, who was walking over with a dinner plate and dry clothes, saw Sun Li standing up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Sister, brother-in-law is fine!"

Lehe smiled and took the plate full of snacks.

"Are you pretending?"

Leshi also realized that she felt a little weird serving Sun Li during this period. He was obviously seriously injured, but when she helped Sun Li change his dressing, he didn't feel any pain.

"Don't worry about it! Go and rest, I'll talk to Lehe!"

Only then did Sun Li realize that something was wrong. He immediately sat down and waved Leshi to go down. There were some things he couldn't tell Leshi.

"Forget it, I don't care!"

Leshi handed the dry clothes to Lehe and left. She also knew that Sun Li and Lehe must have something important to say.

"What's going on? How dare they be so bold! Aren't they afraid of being reviled by the world if they dig the Yellow River?"

Sun Li lowered his voice and said.

"What do they care about? It's just something that has been used to do evil things!"

Lehe said disdainfully.

"then what do I do?"

Sun Li looked at Lehe and asked.

"I just came to inform you that Tokyo has been sealed off and you can't leave the city easily. Your Majesty is worried that you will panic, so you asked me to come."

Lehe said.

The streets of Tokyo were deserted, and heavy downpours kept everyone at home.

Puri Water Gate is also the northeast water gate of Tokyo City. It is the outlet gate of Wuzhang River in Tokyo City.

"This damn rain?"

The city guard hid in the tower drinking wine and cursing the weather.

"The water is rising! The water is rising!" The soldiers ran into the tower and said in horror.

“It’s normal to have rain and high water, so what’s the point of panic?”

The city guard took a sip of wine and shouted, "It's raining heavily. It's said that it's raining all over the Central Plains. It's strange that the water doesn't rise in this situation."

"No, the water comes from outside the city!"

The soldier pointed to the outside of the city and said tremblingly.

"What? People coming in from outside? Did you read that correctly?"

The city guard's expression changed, he immediately stood up, and then walked down the city.

"What's going on? Why is the water flowing into the city?"

The city guard turned pale with fright as he looked at the water that was constantly being poured into the city. This was no longer rainwater. The water in the entire Wuzhang River was reversed. He had been a city guard for ten years and had never seen anything like this. Condition.

"Since last night, the water in Wuzhang River has grown very fast, much faster than usual! Just now, a wave of water came from the east and rushed directly into the water gate."

The soldiers spoke.

"Go to Tongjin Water Gate, Shangshan Water Gate, Puji Water Gate, Guangli Water Gate, Xuanze Water Gate, Datong Water Gate, Xianfeng Water Gate, and Yongshun Water Gate and ask."

The city guard was also a veteran, and he immediately thought of going to a few of his water gates to check on the situation.

The soldiers immediately ran up the city wall and rode horses from the top of the city wall to other gates.

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! This is not an ordinary rainwater pouring in, this is a flood!"

The city guard stood on the city wall and looked to the east. The usually calm Wuzhang River seemed to be angry. The raging river water had overflowed the river embankment and rushed into the city.

Within half an hour, the soldiers came back on horseback one after another. The result was that except for Yongshun Water Gate, there was no backflow or abnormal water flow in the other water gates. However, water flowed out of the city at Yongshun Water Gate.

"Quick, prepare your horses, I'm going to the City Defense Department!"

The city gate officer hurriedly shouted and quickly rode to the City Defense Department. This matter must be reported.

The water in the Wuzhang River quickly entered the Jinshui River through its tributaries, and then merged into the Bianhe River and Cai River. However, the water flow in the Wuzhang River was too large, and the three rivers were unable to share the rush. The flood directly overflowed the river and rushed into Tokyo. on the street.

In just a moment, the whole of Tokyo was in chaos. The floods had gathered in some low-lying areas, and the water had reached the ankles.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ji hurriedly walked into the main hall. He had been drinking and having fun in the harem just now, when suddenly he heard that the Wuzhang River was pouring into Tokyo, and the city was flooded.

"Your Majesty, the Wuzhang River is flowing backward and there is a flood in the city!"

One official fell to his knees and burst into tears.

"The river is flowing backwards, this is an ominous sign from heaven!"

Si Tianjian Zheng also knelt down and cried loudly, staring straight at Zhao Ji.

"What do you mean?"

When Zhao Ji saw Si Tianjian looking at him, he was furious. Does Si Tianjian mean that the responsibility lies with him?

"Your Majesty, this is an ominous drop from heaven, a punishment from heaven, and a punishment for Your Majesty!"

Supervisor Si Tianzheng said righteously, not afraid that Zhao Ji would chop him down.

"You mean I am a foolish king and God will punish me?"

Zhao Ji waved his sleeves and swept the memorials, pens and ink, and candlesticks on the table in front of him to the ground.

"Yes, I suggest that your Majesty fast and bathe, and burn your watch to offer sacrifices to heaven, in order to appease the will of heaven!"

Si Tianjianjianzheng came up with the solution.

"Your Majesty, you cannot listen to these words!"

Outside the main hall, Li Gang walked in wearing a raincoat. The official robe on his body was already soaked.

"What do you mean!"

Supervisor Si Tian was glaring angrily.

"What do you mean? Do you think it's just a simple reverse flow of the river? I just went to see it, and I rode ten miles out of the city to check. It's a flood. The Wuzhang River is flooding, a reverse flood!"

Li Gang said.

"What? Flood? How can there be floods in the lower reaches of Wuzhang River? Are you still heading to Tokyo?"

Li Gang's words made all the officials panic. They only knew that the Wuzhang River was pouring into the city, and they thought it was some weird celestial phenomenon, but they didn't expect it to be a flood. (End of chapter)
