Chapter 143
The place where Huaihe River and Haohe River meet is called Linhuaiguan.

Because the Huaihe River and the Haohe River are brothers and sisters, the drainage is not smooth and the water flow is slow.Therefore, a large amount of river water is retained in this section of the river.At the same time, sediment was deposited, and the river bed became higher and higher.

And because it is close to the county seat, the government has been raising the embankment, so the embankment is getting higher and higher.

As a result, as time went by, the riverbed, river and embankment were all higher than the ground, and it became a hanging lake above the ground.

At this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, and dozens of boats of different sizes sailed silently on the river. They were more than a thousand red scarf troops led by Lei Hufa.

They will join Cao Protector's men on the embankment, and then dig the embankment as quickly as possible!

~~
Hufuzhuang.

"Good boy, eat slowly, there is plenty." The old matriarch poured Zhu Zhen a glass of water distressedly, patted him on the back and said, "Why are you going to eat?"

"Your Highness, your father... the emperor let you practice, is it just to let you beg for food?" Taigong Hu was also puzzled.

"Hmph, no..." Zhu Zhen sobbed while eating the meatloaf:

"My father let us farm at first, but later he thought my life was too ordinary, so people robbed me of food. He forced us to perform in the street, but the Mingjiao people took a fancy to it and took us away. We were forced to join the religion again. I escaped to report..."

After listening, Mrs. Hu wiped away tears in distress. "My poor baby, what kind of crime is this..."

"Damn it, after harming my daughter, it's harming my grandson!" Taigong Hu cocked his beard even more, and he didn't forget to ask the most crucial question:
"By the way. Where are your brothers?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Lao Liu secretly scolded himself as an unreliable person, who was so busy complaining about his hunger that he almost forgot about the business.He swallowed hard the meatloaf in his mouth, beat his chest and asked:

"Stop gossiping. Tell me first, has my father arrived in Fengyang?"

"It's here, I arrived yesterday. Your two uncles are escorting them." Taigong Hu replied.

"Then, does grandpa know that my father and my elder brother will live in the central capital or the imperial mausoleum tonight?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Imperial Mausoleum." Taigong Hu replied, "Tomorrow is an auspicious time to worship ancestors. It's no secret."

"Ah!" Zhu Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he was no longer in the mood to eat or drink. He rolled up two meatloaf and stuffed them in his arms, while getting up and saying:

"Grandpa, quickly gather all the servants and follow me! Oh yes, you have to inform Fengyangwei, the county government and Zhongshanhou's mansion immediately that Mingjiao will destroy the embankment tonight and flood Linhuai County!"

He hiccupped, and continued: "There is also the imperial tomb..."

"Ah?" Taigong Hu was taken aback, and the whole person immediately switched from a kind grandfather to a murderous state: "You didn't say it earlier!"

"I didn't know that I came here by such a coincidence..." Zhu Zhen said depressedly.

"Housekeeper Hu, do you hear me? Hurry up and ring the bell!" Taigong Hu shouted loudly.

"Here! The old boss!" Housekeeper Hu clasped his fists, and his address changed.

~~
"Dang, clang, clang..." The alarm bell resounded throughout the Hufuzhuang.

After a while, Zhuangzi boiled.

That is to say, during the time of cupping tea, more than two hundred men from the whole village assembled in the courtyard with guns, knives and knives, horses and stirrups.

The ancient Hu Taigong also went into battle. He was wearing a starched willow leaf armor, a faded gilt belt was tightly tied around his waist, and a bald chain helmet was held between his arms. He walked steadily to the eaves of the corridor. .

All the men in the village know that the old owner's willow-leaf armor and lock helmet were captured from a Mongolian family when he was the king of the mountain, and he has been wearing them since then.

But by this time, it had been almost ten years since I had sex.

Now, when they saw that the old owner was wearing the old battle armor again, they knew that a big battle was definitely going to happen!

The men in Hufuzhuang were gearing up excitedly, and they had held back for too long.

Taking advantage of the gathering time, the old matriarch took the maid to give Zhu Zhen a brief grooming, and then changed him into a small armor...that was used by his second uncle when he was a child.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally had a human appearance, followed behind Grandpa, and appeared in front of everyone.

The old grandpa introduced Zhu Zhen's identity first.The man from the Hu family looked at him, and immediately became affectionate.

Not because of his status as a prince or prince, but because he is the eldest lady's son!

Ignoring them to exchange pleasantries, the old man briefly introduced the situation, and then said in a deep voice: "Guys, it is your responsibility to defend your homeland, and you must not let those people succeed!"

"Here!" The crowd responded in unison.

"People are here! Let's go!" The old lady shouted decisively.

Butler Hu hurriedly brought two horses, first helped His Royal Highness the King of Chu get on the horse, and then helped the old lady up.

"Your Highness, swords have no eyes, you'd better wait in the manor." Steward Hu persuaded earnestly.

"No!" Zhu Zhen said with a tense face, "My brothers are still in their hands, I have to save them!"

"Okay, responsible, you are indeed the grandson of my Hu Dabangchui!" Taigong Hu praised: "Let's go, let's go!"

"Let's go!" Zhu Zhen also said loudly.

The gate of Hu's mansion opened slowly, and the torches were blazing.

More than ten riders came out first, followed by more than 200 servants who were like wolves and tigers, and rushed towards Linhuaiguan.

~~
At the section of the Linhuaiguan river embankment, Hufa Lei and Hufa Cao finally got together.

"Have all the people watching the embankment been dealt with?" Lei Hufa asked.

"Don't worry, everything has been dealt with." Cao Hufa nodded and asked, "How many people are here?"

"More than 1000." Hufa Lei said, pointing to the dark river behind him, "Our large army is just a few miles away on the river. The Chaohu Navy is in Huayuan Lake, which is a little farther away, waiting for us to succeed! "

"Okay, let's do it quickly, time waits for no one." Cao Hufa nodded, not wanting to waste a second.

Lei Hufa's subordinates unloaded the bundles of picks, shovels, and shovels on the ship, and then the two men picked up the tools and immediately started digging.

"Damn, why are you so strong?"

"The soil is rammed like a stone." All the believers were surprised, obviously underestimating the difficulty of this job.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and dig!" Cao Hufa shouted: "Just dig the beginning!"

"Ah." The people below buried their heads in digging.

Amidst the sound of ping-pong-pong, Hufa Cao asked Hufa Lei in a low voice, "Tiger, didn't King Ming say he would come in person?"

"He said he was going to come, but he had a bad stomach for a while, and he stretched dozens of times a day, and he couldn't stand still, so he couldn't come." Lei Hufa said.

"Oh..." Cao Hufa sighed.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Lei Hufa asked.

"There is something important to report to him." Protector Cao hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "We made a mistake before, the five brothers are most likely not the sons of Zhang Shicheng and Gao Qi at all! They are the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Ah?" Leihuo's jaw dropped in shock. "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I just investigated it just now, and I haven't had time to report it yet!" Cao Hufa said helplessly: "The prince came to find them, and I also learned the secret through the official who helped find them."
