Burigud suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Jiaohe. He said coldly: "You are from Zheng, what does the life and death of the desert have to do with you? Or..." He looked at Jiaohe's chest in the fire, "You admit your identity."

"I am from Zheng." Jiaohe replied sternly, "I am Jiaohe."

Burigude turned his back and asked, "Then why do you care about the life and death of the desert people? I remember that we desert people were called bandits by you Zheng people, which means thieves. We are enemies."

Jiaohe Tengdi stood up, and the wool blanket wrapped around his shoulders slid down, revealing the lifelike eagle totem on his chest.

"We are enemies." Jiaohe looked down at Burigod from a high place, "but our general taught me a truth."

Burigud looked at him with his head held high and asked, "What's the reason?"

Jiaohe stared at him and said, "The enemy's enemy is a friend."

Burigod's eyes lit up, and he stared at Jiaohe and asked, "So we are friends now?"

Jiaohe stretched out his right hand on the swaying bonfire.

Burigod stared at his hand, but did not get up or speak.

Jiaohe clenched his fist and hit his chest hard, then stretched out again, and said solemnly: "In the name of Tarateng, I swear that I will be your wind and sand. In the next battle, I will hand over my back to you, never betray and share our lives."

Burigod took a deep breath. He grew up, and his tall figure formed a distinct confrontation with Jiaohe. He reached out and grabbed Jiaohe's wrist and said, "Wind and sand, under the gaze of Tarateng, I will share my life with you, and never betray it until the moment of death-"

"No." Jiaohe interrupted him, "until the moment he defeated the Canaans."

Burigod stared at Jiaohe for a long time with a deep look. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Until defeating the Cana people."

The sacred contract had been established. Burigud stepped on his own scimitar, lifted the curtain and let him go sideways, Jiaohe walked out with a short head. The two of them rode on a horse at Xingye and ran towards Zuoting.

That night, a thin rain of frost fell on the desert.

This means summer has arrived.

The rivers are surging and the rivers are rolling. The people of Yanzhou are worried about the flood year after year. On this day, the flood broke out.

The rising and falling oceans stirred up and rising and rising waves in the starry night, roaring and hitting the dam. On the high shore, soldiers ran quickly with sandbags on their backs. The leading soldiers blew the rain on their faces and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Hurry up!!!"

The soldiers were soaked all over, and their boots were soaked by the tilted and high river water. They panted heavily and gritted their teeth and ran, throwing the sandbags on their shoulders into the inner channel at the entrance of the dam, then turned around and ran along the stairs of the city wall again.

Chen Qiusheng stepped along the dam, and the swaying wind and rain hit the straw raincoat on his body, and the crackling sound of raindrops on his head on the hat.

The soldiers rushed over quickly, then knelt on one knee and clasped their fists very quickly, and said anxiously and heavily: "Sir, no more. The water in the inner channel is overflowing so hard, and the sandbag will melt in a blink of an eye. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

The soldiers turned their eyes to the hills several miles below the inner canal. Fluorescent lights were vaguely shining under the towering mountains. It was the teahouse closest to the dam.

"The gate is not high enough, so let the water fill it up, it takes less than half an hour." The soldiers gritted their teeth and said arduously, "The earthy houses of these tea households are about to be flooded!"

Chen Qiusheng turned around and walked towards the dam facing the river. He stroked the shore and looked down. The sudden sound of waves exploded in his ears, and the river water in the sky poured him all over.

"Send someone." Chen Qiusheng looked around the wall of the dam indifferently, "Immediately evacuate the people and transfer them to Yanzhou. Then, he ordered the soldiers to untie the sandbags and pile the sand on the inside of the dam. He was woven into a rack to fix it with bamboo strips. The height should be the same as the dam." Chen Qiusheng turned around and ran quickly, pointing to the inside of the dam, "From here, sand canals are piled along the way." He pointed to one side, "Transfer there."

The military officer looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately said in horror: "Sir, don't! That hill is full of tea fields. If you go there through water, you may be damaged.

Tea seedlings. Yanzhou originally relies on tea mountains to make a living. If the tea fields flood, wouldn’t those tea households make trouble to heaven?”

"This is the order of our lieutenant. Later, Zhang Bu announced that he would take responsibility for it." Chen Qiusheng turned around and looked at the military officer. "You should do it boldly. Most of the soldiers in the army are tea households from Yanzhou. If anyone refuses to agree, they will be killed immediately! There are injustices." He put his hands on his back and said slowly, "When the flood is over, we will come to the provincial governor's office. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Our lieutenant is waiting for the visitor."

The military officer was shocked by his aura. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Qiusheng. Seeing that he was full of confidence, he immediately bowed his fists with confidence and shouted: "Here!"

"Everyone, come with me!" The soldiers shouted in shock, leading the soldiers on the dam to run down, "Open the sandbag!"

The soldiers stopped when they heard this. They panted and turned their heads around with suspicion. Someone asked with courage: "What do you mean by sir?"

"According to the order of Lord Tingwei Zheng, you can immediately pile up sand at the dam, which needs to be at the dam at a height." The soldiers guided from left to right, "Pile to the other end, and pile it into a canal, and use bamboo strips to fix it, quickly!"

Most of these Yanzhou soldiers are veterans following Jiang Zimo. They take the lead in the flood every year, and immediately understand the consequences of this approach.

"No, sir!" A veteran who looked over 40 last year shouted anxiously, "That mountain is the home of a small relative. If this water passes through, it will definitely destroy the tea field. Sir, it is summer now, and the tea seedlings have grown. If it is flooded, the harvest of the whole year will be ruined!" The veteran was filled with righteous indignation, "Do you dare to ask me, are you going to force me to die?"

"This is the military order of the Tingwei Zheng personally issued by the army. If anyone refuses to follow, he will be executed immediately!" The military officer pushed the handle of the knife with his thumb, "Who dares not follow?"

"Sir, I'm going to force me to die!" A soldier shouted, and he pointed to the figure on the dam excitedly, "He Chen Qiusheng is not from Yanzhou and has nothing to do with us. Is this water control? Flooding the tea field is our life! Sir, the young do not follow this, the young ones shout for justice, and the people in Yanzhou are all wronged!"

"If there are injustices, you can go to the provincial governor to seek justice after the flood. The situation is critical now. If you dare to disobey, I will enforce the law and slaughter you to correct the military discipline!" The soldiers pulled out a steel knife and pointed at the soldiers who were causing trouble. "Do you pile up?" Chinese website

When the soldier saw the knife holding his neck, he immediately started to cry. But he still reluctantly untied the sandbag and dumped the sand on the edge of the dam with grief and anger.

The other soldiers did it with sadness, but occasionally stared at Chen Qiusheng's back when they looked at the dam, with anger and resentment in their eyes.

"If you do this, the people of the 14 counties in Yanzhou will regard you as their enemy." Gu Yaozhi walked to him in a straw raincoat, his shoes were covered with mud, "Qiu Sheng, is it worth it to do this?"

Chen Qiusheng patrols the soldiers under the dam, and after observing, he said, "I came to Yanzhou to convict Jiang Zimo. This move is like killing a father in front of me. If I wanted fame, I shouldn't be here."

"You have convicted Jiang Zimo, but you are cleaning up the great cause he left behind." Gu Yaozhi turned around and looked at the rising waves that had hit the dam. "The water in Yanzhou is endless. These mountains are high and high but persistent, and one day they will flood Yanzhou. You are not only enemies of the people, but also enemies of heaven and earth. Qiu Sheng, you are taciturn. If you do this, no one will really understand you."

The two stood sideways, Gu Yaozhi looked at Chuanshui and showed a sad look, while Chen Qiusheng looked at the lights of thousands of houses not far away, with a weak expression and no joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"You will understand me." Chen Qiusheng looked at the candlelight swaying in the mountains and forests. "So you have already gone to comfort the tea houses and flee." Chen Qiusheng looked at him sideways, "I know, I... thank you."

He bent over and bowed to bow to him, but Gu Yaozhi reached out to catch his hand early. Gu Yaozhi grabbed his hand and used all his strength.

"I should thank you." Gu Yaozhi lowered his eyes and showed a sad expression. "You have brought all the blame for flooding the tea field into your arms, but what is received by the people's complaints. Qiu Sheng." He called Chen Qiu Sheng's name softly, "You have made my name, what about you? People in the world will only remember that you are the living Hell, who has no feelings for you. But you are reasonable and have all your actions for the people. In this way,

Why bother?"

"The country's peace lies in the law, and the country's fortune lies in the people. Without the people, there is no country." Chen Qiusheng gently pulled his hand away, "They can hate me, but they can live."

Gu Yaozhi took a deep breath and looked at Chen Qiusheng and sighed quietly.

With a loud bang, the rising waves crashed into the dam, and the splashed water splashed raindrops on the heads of the two of them.

The momentum of the flood was gradually getting stronger, waves of raging waves swept over, impacting the dam, while the waterways in the inner channel were also rising on the ground.

"Hurry! Hurry up!" The soldiers woven bamboo strips and wove them into cross-link interfaces, while urging the soldiers around them, "Everyone is tied tightly, be careful!"

Bamboo strips were weaving very quickly. These soldiers were from Yanzhou and knew how to weaving bamboo strips and pick tea since childhood, so they were all very skilled. Bamboo strips were getting taller and denser when they were being connected, stretched and expanded.

The soldiers on the dam used ropes to fix bamboo strips on the dam, then poured down sand and soil. Soon a canal piled up from sand and soil quickly stretched towards the tea fields in the mountains.

Gululu, Gulululu.

A large ball of water in the inner canal suddenly rumbled out, splashing in the bluestone scattered on the dam. Seeing this situation, Chen Qiusheng grabbed Gu Yaozhi's hand and said anxiously, "Hurry up, come with me!"

Chen Qiusheng pulled the staggering Gu Yaozhi and ran under the city wall. Gu Yaozhi looked at the ocean outside the dam as he walked down. He heard the rumbling tide sound. His eyes widened slightly, and he looked at a big wave that was rising above the dam and seemed to rush to the sky!

Gu Yaozhi shouted anxiously: "Wait!"
