Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 105 Doubts rise
Although the city wall of Gufang County is four feet high, no one knows when the flood will pass. If the water level rises and overflows the city wall, there will be no one in the city.

After all, not everyone can swim. Even if they can swim, they are exhausted under the influence of continuous rainstorms and urban waterlogging.

In this case, it is difficult to survive.

The Gufang County government didn't do nothing. It directly opened the granary and set up a porridge shed to relieve the victims.

It's just that when Li Changfeng saw what the victims were eating, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he couldn't bear it.

awful!
It's so miserable!

It can no longer be called gruel, it can be called rice soup, and there are only a few dozen grains of rice in each bowl.

How could common people be able to bear such gruel soup?
If things go on like this, not to mention being drowned by water, they will starve to death from hunger.

In contrast, Zhang Haihui and others who have been with Li Changfeng for ten years are living a fairy life, with enough white rice and vegetables and meat.

But there is no way to do it, because the floods besieged, the fertile fields were submerged, and even many granaries were castrated. Even if Shangzhou is a land of fish and rice, there is no way to do it in a short time.

Seeing the miserable life of the victims, Zhang Haihui immediately became furious, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "The local officials should be damned for helping the victims in such a way. The imperial court allocated a total of 30 taels of silver! They must be corrupt!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Haihui bowed his hands to Li Changfeng and begged for orders: "Your Highness, you have the right to kill first and then play later, so why don't you kill the dog official here to make an example to others!"

On the way before the rush, they also knew that Li Changfeng had received the emperor's imperial edict.

Liang Dafu and the others also had expressions of indignation, with murderous intent in their eyes.

"I'm afraid this matter cannot be blamed on the local officials."

Li Changfeng sighed softly, and said helplessly: "30 taels seems like a huge number, but Shangzhou is so big, how much money can each county have? And some of the money was used to strengthen the dams. How much money can I have after I get it?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then a deep sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.

Daqian, it's still too poor!
Soon, everyone came to the county government office.

After learning the identities of Li Changfeng and the others, the county magistrate Sun Botai rushed to greet them with his officials and yamen servants.

"Your Majesty pays homage to His Highness Ninth Prince, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

A group of people performed all the rituals and knelt on the wet and muddy ground with extremely respectful expressions.

They never expected that such a small place like Gufang County, Shankara, would welcome a noble prince.

"Hurry up and get flat."

Li Changfeng quickly asked them to stand up.

Although the county magistrate Subotai was dressed cleanly and decently, he looked sallow and thin, not much better than the victims, with sunken eye sockets and big dark circles, looking haggard.

The same is true of most of the other officials and government officials behind him.

From this, it can be seen that this is an honest official who has no special privileges and should have done his best to fight the flood and relieve the disaster.

"Now the inn in the city is full and full of disaster victims, please condescend to live in this county office, Your Highness." Sun Botai said with some panic.

He was afraid that the residence he arranged would make Li Changfeng feel dissatisfied. After all, he is a pampered prince. The conditions in Gufang County are already difficult, and now it is flooded. How can there be any good place?

Li Changfeng didn't take it seriously, nodded and said, "Yes."

Immediately, Sun Botai led the crowd in, followed by the accompanying officials and government servants, with dissatisfaction and contempt in their eyes.

"If you don't take it with you in the capital, what is the dignified prince doing here? Isn't this adding to the chaos!"

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is here to fight the flood!"

"Hmph! Flood relief? Just relying on dozens of them? It's a joke!"

"That's right, such natural disasters and man-made disasters are beyond human capabilities? In my opinion, this prince is just going through the motions. How can he really care about the lives of these disaster victims?"

"These words are reasonable. Instead of pretending to be here, it is better to bring out some money and food, which is real!"

"That is, the task of flood fighting and disaster relief is so urgent now, we have to waste time to meet him!"

Soon, Li Changfeng was taken to the residence arranged by Sun Botai. The conditions were worse than ordinary inns in the capital.

But Li Changfeng walked all the way in the county office and knew that this was already the best room.

The disaster crisis has reached the point of no delay, Li Changfeng rejected Sun Botai's banquet, and arranged directly: "Master Sun, you immediately arrange a big boat, a few expert rowers who are familiar with the local mountains and rivers, and take my prince's people to the carp Surveying the terrain."

Liyu Mountain is a mountain next to the Shang River, and behind it is the Baixie Valley where evil beasts are entrenched.

Next to Liyu Mountain, there is a relatively weak mountain wall, which separates the Shang River and Baixie Valley.

The task this time is to find a suitable blasting location, blow up the mountain wall in one fell swoop, and lead the flood to Baixie Valley.

Sun Botai didn't know about this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Changfeng cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the flood is raging and the water flow is fast, and the Liyu Mountain is also soft due to the heavy rain for days, and mudslides may appear at any time. It's not a good time to go out."

Li Changfeng naturally knew what he was worried about. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that something unexpected happened to the prince under his rule, and it would be difficult to explain to Emperor Qianwu.

Li Changfeng could understand Sun Botai's mood, and said sternly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this move is related to the flood in Shangzhou and countless Li people, so we have to go, make arrangements!"

Sun Botai was stunned.

He really couldn't figure out what Li Changfeng said had anything to do with going to Liyu Mountain, so he hesitated for a moment and boldly asked, "May I ask Your Highness, why did you go to Liyu Mountain?"

Li Changfeng didn't hide anything, and said flatly: "My prince wants to open a gap in the wall next to Liyu Mountain, and divert the flood into Baixie Valley to relieve the flood in Shangzhou."

Hearing this, Sun Botai's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Li Changfeng with an expression of disbelief.

Open the mountain bi! ?
Drain the flood to Baixie Valley?
Isn't this a joke!
Except for the illusory gods in the legend, how could mortals do such a thing?

He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears and he had auditory hallucinations.

Many officials and yamen servants behind him also looked at Li Changfeng in surprise, and some of them looked like they were looking at a fool.

Look, does this speak human words?

Open the mountain bi?

It's a fantasy!

Some people even wondered, could it be that His Highness the Ninth Prince is a fool?
Naturally, Li Changfeng could read their eyes and understand what they were thinking. After all, gunpowder, something they had never heard of before, was really unimaginable.

He didn't bother to explain, after he blasted the mountain wall, Subotai and others would naturally understand.

He directly ordered: "Execute the order."

Sun Botai twitched, and was about to persuade him, but he couldn't bear to see the disaster victims in the city so miserable. Zhang Haihui, who had already waited impatiently, reprimanded him: "Do whatever you are told, what are you talking about? Hurry up. , You can’t afford to delay a big event!”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I will make arrangements now!"

Sun Botai was taken aback, and hurriedly led his men to make arrangements, while Li Changfeng began to arrange the people on his side.

He first looked at Zhang Haihui: "Old Zhang, you are one of the best among all the people, and the task of surveying the terrain will be entrusted to you. You will be the first one to go up to Liyu Mountain later!"

Zhang Haihui bowed solemnly to accept the order and said, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"

Li Changfeng looked at Liang Dafu again: "Old Liang, you know the characteristics of gunpowder best. You need to tell Zhang Haihui what kind of suitable detonation point is needed. You will also be responsible for burying the gunpowder and detonating it."

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng paused, and said in a serious tone: "This time, we have brought a lot of gunpowder, but it is limited after all, so I hope there will be no accidents!"

Liang Dafu also knew how important this matter was to the people of Shangzhou, and even to the entire Dagan Dynasty.

His expression was also unprecedentedly solemn, and he gave Li Changfeng a reassuring look and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise that nothing will go wrong, one detonation will definitely blow up the mountain wall!"

Li Changfeng nodded, then looked at Wang Tiezhu and Lei Qi who was protecting him, and said: "You must protect the gunpowder according to the requirements, and there must be no accidents, understand?"

Wang Tiezhu and all the thunder riders shouted together: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

After arranging these, Li Changfeng ordered: "Hurry up and rest."

the other side.

Sun Botai was full of doubts and even a little annoyed, and arranged for his subordinates who were also a little bit confused and annoyed to go find the person Li Changfeng needed.

Soon, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince came to Gufang County in person, preparing to open the carp mountain wall and divert the flood to Baixie Valley, and the news spread throughout Gufang County.

No doubt everyone scoffed at it.

"Fried Carp Mountain? Isn't His Royal Highness a fool?"

"Hush! How can you talk nonsense like this? Be careful to lose your head!"

"Heh, seeing that Gufang County is about to lose its hold, I'm either drowned or starved to death here. What are you afraid of?"

"That's right, Liyu Mountain and other huge mountains can be shaken by manpower? Unless His Highness Ninth Prince is a god!"

"This is completely nonsense. Why don't you bring some food and let me have a full meal, so that I can be a full ghost after I die!"

Therefore, when Li Changfeng and his group came out from the county government office, all the people on the streets of Gufang County looked at them.

Some people looked suspiciously at Li Changfeng and the others, while others looked at Li Changfeng and the others as if they were fools.

Sun Botai knew that it was the people under his command who spread the news, he cursed them secretly in his heart, and then bowed in fear: "Your Majesty is ignorant, please don't worry about it?"

Li Changfeng said with a half-smile, "Don't you think the same as them?"

Sun Botai was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, "No, I don't dare!"

But in my heart I was secretly surprised.

Since the Ninth Prince knew that everyone felt that what he said was a bit whimsical, why did he insist on going his own way?

Could it be that there is really a way to open Liyu Mountain?
As soon as such thoughts popped into his mind, he quickly shook his head.

impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!

Li Changfeng didn't bother with him, he hurriedly boarded the city wall, took a big boat, accompanied by Sun Botai, and headed for Liyu Mountain.
