The Blood Riding Convoy slowly drove out of the Xicheng Gate, and less than a kilometer westward, then reached the bank of the Luo River.

The Luo River comes from the north. Compared with the Han River where Luochuan crossed south, the big river in front of him can be regarded as a small river, but even so, the river is nearly 300 meters wide. In Luochuan's previous life, it is another big river.

At the end of the official road is a stone bridge that is eight or nine meters wide. Even the wide carriage that Luochuan rides can easily drive side by side on the bridge.

The stone bridge is four or five meters higher than the water surface. The bridge foundation is like a ship-shaped body, the bridge holes are the same width, but the distance is not very far, making the entire bridge look very stable.

Luochuan lifted the curtain to see, and Chen Shu, who was still following the carriage, said to him, "This stone bridge is called Ping'an Bridge. It is said that it took thirteen years to build it. During this period, some locations were built with many practitioners," he said, "The section where Cangyan City is located is one of the narrowest locations in the entire Cangyan section of the Luo River. The water flow is not too fast, and the river trough is deep. There has never been an accident called flooding for many years. The stone bridge is always very stable and is the most important passage east of the Luo River and west of the Luo River."

Luo Chuan nodded.

The convoy crossed the bridge and went up the bridge, and Luo Chuan looked at Dahe, who was calm on the surface and asked, "We also need to go through this stone bridge to supply military rations to the western battlefield?"

"Yes," Chen Shu looked back at the rear of the convoy. The people who had kneeled to salute to the convoy still did not all stand up. "The most important Cangcheng in Cangyan City on the military ration turnover route is in Hexi. Military rations from Guangjun and Ganyuan must be transported to the place to store through this stone bridge."

Luo Chuan nodded and said to Chen Shu, "Go on the horse, the road behind is still long." He put down the curtain and focused again on the unfolded map, looking over little by little, very carefully.

The convoy crossed the bridge and headed south all the way. The speed of traveling was quite fast. Except for stopping at a station at noon and having a simple lunch, the team set off again.

When the sun sets westward, it is almost time to set, you can see the continuous mountains appearing in your sight from afar.

The group camped on a slightly higher ground slope for one night, and set off again the next morning just as dawn.

When noon arrived, we arrived at the fork where the Luo River was diverted.

Luo Chuan got off the carriage. When the old coachman and Luo Changgong and other bloody cavalry guards came down to a high ground by the river, Chen Shu was already here with an old man and a young farmer.

The old man was gray and old. He saw Luo Chuan walking from a distance and he was already holding the middle-aged man on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Luo Chuan walked up to help the old man up, which shocked the old man's dim eyes widened at him, "I don't have to worry about anything. I just asked Chen Shu to invite you over and tell us about the diversion of the river. After all, you have known more about this river for a long time."

The old man said he didn't dare. After being helped up by Luo Chuan, he took two steps back and was supported by the middle-aged man who came with him. Then he bent down and said, "Sir, please ask me if you have anything. I'll tell you everything you know."

Luo Chuan smiled slightly and raised his hand to point to the river branch in the distance. There, the main body of the river heading south was obviously turned slightly toward the southeast. The water was surging and waves could be seen. In contrast, the river water, which was several times smaller, drew an arc and flowed westward. "What changes have been made in this diversion of the Luo River in the past ten years before the diversion and in the past ten years after the diversion?"

The old man looked in the direction Luo Chuan pointed, recalling something silently.

Luo Chuan was not in a hurry, just looked at the river in the distance and waited.

After a long time, the old man seemed to wake up from his memories. When he saw the scene in front of him, he felt a little panicked. He felt that he was negligent and wanted to kneel down again. Chen Shu helped him and said, "It's good that the old man said it."

"Hey, hey," the old man nodded and bowed quickly, "Sir, I don't know if it's appropriate to say these..." He looked at Luo Chuan again and said hesitantly, "We are actually not far from the mountainous area. There is a saying passed down by the old man called "Dragon King Moving Mountain". That is to say, these hills are actually moving one by one, but they are moving very slowly, and we ordinary people can't feel it."

Luo Chuan looked back and was obviously interested in this topic.

The old man was not as nervous as before and spoke a lot more quickly, "But the young man actually felt something, but he didn't often tell people, just like the Luo River diverted. The young man remembered that when he was young, the river water was not fast, especially when it was not rainy, the children in the village liked to play in the river. We live in Hexi, and the adults didn't allow him to go east, saying that the river bank on the other end was higher, and if he was exhausted and couldn't climb up, he would definitely be swept away by the river when he wanted to swim back, but these years have been a little different..."

The old man looked at the distant river with some confusion, "Especially when the earth dragon turned over a few years ago, it was so rumbled that it was scary. In the middle of the night, the people in the village ran out. When the sun rose, the old man was worried that there would be problems with the river, so he ran out to see. It was also in this place that he saw the river water rushing south. Then he looked again. He felt that the river bank in the east was much lower than the river bank in the west. The river water changed the route and did not flood too many places, so he entered the mountain. From then on, even if the old man figured it out, the old man said that the Dragon King moved the mountain for generations, which was probably true. It was such a big river bank, with mountains pressing on the other end and mountains pressing on the other end. It was really lower than this side. This is not something that people can do. Isn't it just the Dragon King moving the mountain?"

Luochuan looked back at the fork of the river. Looking down from the high ground in Hexi where he was, the terrain of the east of the river really seemed to be a little slower. "Before the river water was diverted, what was the location of the river now?"

"If you go back to the adults, you are also farming," the old man pointed to both sides of the turbulent river channel. "Sir, the other end of Hedong is also a good place now. People want to eat. Although there is still some danger nearby, they may be gone one day when the rainy season happens, but they are still official fields. There are always poor days and dare to pluck up the courage to farm. It is better than entering the mountains..." He seemed to have noticed that he had off topic again, and then hurriedly said, "The terrain where the river channel was originally located is indeed lower, after all, it is connected to the mountains. The hunters in the village in Hedong used to go into the mountains. There were wild boars in the fields over there from time to time, and it was never a good place anyway."

"If there is a flood before the river water is diverted, it should be that the end of the river is flooded more?" Luo Chuan asked.

"No," the old man sighed, "In some years, the water is small, and the flood is much smaller, but when the water on the upper reaches is large, no one on both sides can escape. However, relatively speaking, it is better to the other end of the Hedong. At that time, the water on their end was willing to flow into the mountains along the land, so it is usually us who are unlucky, but in recent years, the river water has changed and the flood is less. Even if there is one, it will flood them. Our Hexi has become a good land. We still have to remember the Dragon Prince's good..."
