What the young minister can do is to order the city walls to try their best to coordinate the forces of all parties and resolve disputes, tell everyone about the consequences of the flood, and call on the people to work together to overcome the difficulties. People everywhere did see the flood, the river and the East China Sea, including Bayuan Shang
The water levels in various rivers continue to rise, inundating many places that have never been flooded before.
But the floods that people see are not really big floods. Even if there is no unexpected disaster this year, there will still be floods in Bayuan, not to mention the amount of water pouring down from the upper reaches of the river in the mountain passes transformed by the magic beads of Xi soil.
It has also been slowly increasing. In this case, no one knows when the flood will rise, so the situation was relatively stable at the beginning.
But after the autumn harvest season came, many people began to murmur in their hearts because the floods stopped rising and even receded slightly. Many people thought that the disaster was over and that the monarch's statement about the floods was exaggerated. In the fields of his hometown
The crops were thrown away and confiscated, and many valuables were left in the village without being brought out. Many people wanted to go back.
It is common sense that floods will recede after autumn. Winter is a dry season. Although the water levels in various rivers are significantly higher than in previous years, after all, they have no longer risen or even receded a little compared to summer. People think that everything should be fine.
.Many people have made requests to return home, but officials in various city walls have long received orders from the minor affairs officers to prohibit everyone from doing so.
Officials from various city walls also made it clear to the people that the real flood had not come. It was Master Peng Keng who used his immortal power to form a long embankment and blocked the flood in the upper reaches of the river, allowing everyone to move, escape and resettle.
time, but big floods can come down from upstream at any time.
After such a long period of struggle, so much suffering, and such a heavy price paid, the mentality of many people has changed.
Some people no longer believe the city officials' statement, and many tribal leaders have united to ask the monarch for orders. Since Lord Pengkeng has the ability to block the flood, let everyone return to their homes to harvest crops and retrieve more crops.
We were not allowed to take our belongings with us because we had too many things when we left.
Some people even made a tentative request: Can Mr. Peng Keng be allowed to block the flood forever?
Shaowu could not agree or agree to such a request, and he could not agree to the people's request to return to their homes. The floods will come at any time, and it is said that it will take these people to harvest crops and retrieve their belongings. Who knows how long it will take these people, there are many
People may stay in their homes and never leave. Once this hole is opened, the situation in the country may get out of control.
The king did not allow the people to return home, but it was impossible to tie everyone's legs, so some people ran back secretly. The situation was foreseeable. If some people dared to violate the king's orders and return to the empty villages outside the city, they would do more than just harvest their own homes.
of crops and got back their belongings.
Someone took the lead and sneaked back, and more people followed suit. In order to carry out the king's order, the officials of each city wall would of course take strict precautions and even send military formations to supervise and prohibit the people in the camps from leaving at will. This led to
The people protested because they were just refugees who had lost their homes. They were in such a situation only because they were ordered by the king and were not prisoners.
Not every city official and every military officer could be calm and sensible when dealing with such matters. Conflicts broke out in many places, even large-scale bloody conflicts. At this time, another
I don't know who is spreading rumors everywhere, claiming that all this is Ba Jun's conspiracy.
The rumors may not be deliberately fabricated by anyone, but are just malicious conjectures in the minds of some people, but they are spreading more and more widely. For example, in the Mianhe City area, some people say that the tribes of the original Bashi Kingdom want to rob the tribes of the original Xiangshi Kingdom.
A place where people have lived peacefully for generations, so they used floods as an excuse.
Along with the rumors came rogue bandits. These rogue bandits came from those who returned quietly, but they did not return to their hometowns after leaving the camp. Instead, they formed gangs to plunder one city village after another and plunder all kinds of wealth.
Goods. But for these people, there is nothing the city can do.
The young minister did not allow the people to return to the danger zone, and of course he would not let the officials of the city walls lead the military formations back. Therefore, even though they knew that there were people forming gangs and looting various places, the military formations could not pursue them. The monarch's order turned into a counterattack bandit.
protection because they operate in dangerous areas that the monarch does not allow them to enter again.
Another source of rogue bandits is rebels. Some people organized to resist the supervision and restraint of the local city walls and military formations. After conflicts broke out, they fled. Once they encountered large-scale military suppression, they retreated to areas ordered by the monarch to no longer enter.
It's a dangerous zone, and officials everywhere are helpless.
Just over half a year has passed, and Shaowu's prestige in Ba Yuan has dropped to its lowest point. Many people have gradually become disappointed and even despaired of him and the whole country of Ba.
In fact, Shaowu has not lost control of the Ba Kingdom. At least the city officials and local military formations still obey his orders, but the country has become chaotic. Because the life he is accustomed to has been changed, the old order has collapsed, and the new
The order has not yet been established, and people feel anxious and uneasy in their hearts.
At present, there are only a few rioters, but the actions of these few people will have a huge impact on the new order that has not yet been established. If this momentum cannot be curbed in time, Pakistan will fall apart sooner or later. This is not someone who rebels and becomes self-reliant.
The problem is the complete collapse of the entire order, and everyone will become a victim.
The young minister has never encountered such a situation since he took the throne, so you can imagine his mood. After hearing this, Huwa only asked: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Shao Wu: "I have no solution. I can only ask my junior brother to take me to see Master Chong Bogun."
The matter was so important that he left immediately. Huwa immediately left Batu City with the young minister, accompanied by Kunwu and Xuanyuan. The Demon King Shanzha was still in Batu City. If anyone takes this opportunity to cause trouble in Batu, then
There can't be any politeness!
Shaowu flew up into the clouds. He didn't like this feeling before, because he couldn't fly and had to be taken by other experts. He seemed helpless in the sky, and his safety was entirely in the hands of others. It was far worse.
Being down-to-earth makes me feel at ease. But being carried by a tiger baby and flying in the sky is an exception.
Overlooking the land of Bayuan from the clouds, I even saw people moving around in the evacuated city walls and villages. They gathered people to occupy the city lord's mansion to live in, plundering all kinds of goods for enjoyment. In fact, you don't need to get very close to see them clearly.
Looking from a distance, you can understand what is going on when you see the smoke from cooking fires in various places. People should have evacuated long ago, but who is lighting the fire?
This is supposed to be a deserted area, but there are bandits looting property and rebels hiding from the official military formations. The young minister has to obey his orders. Since he ordered the people not to return, he will not send military formations to suppress it.
It will only put more people at risk.
Finally, they arrived above the Lower City. From a distance, they saw the mountains rising from the plains and the high lake surrounded by the mountains. Their size was no less than that of the East China Sea. As soon as a few people approached, two men in red suddenly appeared in the clouds.
He appeared and blocked the way: "Fengxianjun, Master Chong Bogun is concentrating on casting spells. Please don't disturb him for no reason. What can I do for you?"
Shaowu's feet were in the void, but he felt as stable as if he were standing on the ground. He stepped forward and saluted: "Two immortals, I don't want to disturb Master Chong Bogun. I really have something urgent to see you."
Huwa also said: "Bajun asked to see Master Chongbo Gun. We really have something important to discuss, and it is related to Master Chongbo Gun. Please rest assured that we will never disturb Master Chongbo Gun. We are grateful to him before it is too late."
Well, I just want to say a few words, and I also want to ask if he needs help?"
These two men in red were none other than Bing Chi and Ding Chi. After they left the sky above the West Sea, they came here on their own initiative to protect Chong Bo Gun. After hearing this, they got out of the way. Huwa and others saw Chong Bo Gun.
Chong Bo Gun sat upright in the clouds, closed his eyes and said nothing. He only said with his spiritual thoughts: "Bajun is coming from afar. I forgive Gun for not getting up to greet me. What do you want from me?"
The young minister did not know how to read spiritual thoughts, so he could only say: "I would like to ask Master Chong Bo Gun to collect his magical powers! It is winter now, when the water potential of the downstream river is at its smallest and the water level is at its lowest. It is best to release the flood water at this time.
opportunity."
In front of Chong Bogun, Shaowu did not explain why he made this decision. The immortal family must have understood the whole reason with a change of heart. Since Shaowu became Bajun, what kind of efforts has Shaowu devoted to unify Bayuan and govern Baguo?
His hard work? Now he actually asked Chong Bo Gun in person to let floods submerge Ba Yuan. I am afraid only he knows his inner feelings.
This Ba Jun had turned gray on his temples a few months ago. When he said these words, his expression was trying his best to remain calm, but his voice could not help but tremble slightly. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Everyone heard Chong Bogun's sigh in the soul: "Do you think I don't want to let go? The flood is too great. With my cultivation power, I have pushed the Xi soil divine pearl to the extreme, and I can no longer put it away.
."
Chong Bogun explained his situation, which was something that no one had thought of beforehand. The Divine Pearl of Xi soil was an artifact of the Emperor of Heaven, and Emperor Taihao used Huwa's hand to erase the imprint of Emperor Xuanyuan's soul. Chong Bogun only had time to make a quick briefing.
After sacrificing and refining it, it turned into a mountain to block the flood, but it couldn't be collected anymore.
Not only could he not collect the Divine Bead of Xi soil, but he also had to activate his magic power to maintain it, otherwise the landslide and the earth would collapse, and the Divine Bead of Xi soil would be washed away by the flood and would be difficult to find.
The young minister was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Lord Chong Bogun, can you stop the flood forever?"
Chong Bogun replied: "Of course not, maybe three years, five years, even ten years, eight years, but there will always be a day when I can't hold on. The longer I hold on here, the greater the consumption will be. After another year
In half a year, even the differentiated physical and spiritual bodies that control floods in various parts of China will be difficult to maintain.
In fact, there is another way, that is, I kill myself here, the form and spirit of the Immortal family will be integrated with the mountains, and the Xi soil divine beads will become the mountains forever, and neither I nor the Xi soil divine beads will exist anymore. Ba Jun wants to ask
Do I do this?"
Shao Wu: "Of course not! I am here to ask you to let go as soon as possible. If the Xili Divine Pearl washes away with the waves, I will do my best to help Master Chong Bogun find it. After all, you are the minister of water control in China. If
If we get out as soon as possible, we can better lead people across China to control floods."
Chong Bogun finally opened his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Since you said that, it's not in vain for me to help you. I originally planned to let go when the water level of the downstream river is lowest in winter. Since I can't take back the Xi soil magic bead, I can't help you."
That's all. I've been waiting for Bajun to come. Even if Bajun doesn't come, I will send someone to Batu City to inform you in a few days, and Bajun has come by himself. I only ask Bajun, once I let go,
Do you know the consequences?"
The Shaowu gritted his teeth and bowed in the air: "I know very well. Thank you Lord Chongbo Gun!"
Huwa's expression moved slightly, because Chongbo Gun's words contained a hint of immortality. He was told to Huwa alone, and no one else present noticed it. As long as Chongbo Gun lets go, ten thousand people will die on Ba Yuan.
There are more than 3,000 people from various places who have violated the emperor's orders and returned to dangerous areas. Although Ba Guo cannot make accurate statistics, the young minister has a rough idea.
There are more than 70 city walls throughout the country of Pakistan, with a total of more than 300,000 people counted by the Cangshi from various places. There are still many people who are not included in the official statistics for various reasons, and the total number is almost 400,000. This time they were ordered to move
Hundreds of thousands of people were relocated, but from the beginning until now, the areas that will be engulfed by floods have never been truly cleared.
At first, some people stayed quietly. This situation also happened when the lower city was moved. Later, some people secretly returned in violation of the emperor's order. In the end, they directly disobeyed the order and organized a tributary bandit and rebel army. Huwa also heard it
Chong Bogun felt deeply helpless, not only for the fate chosen by these people, but also for the choice he made himself.
Chong Bogun also asked Huwa a question, not for Huwa to answer, but for Huwa to weigh it on his own. For a true immortal who has transcended reincarnation, if the lower world intervenes in the affairs of the human world, he will inevitably be implicated by fate and will no longer be a true immortal.
In the transcendental body, any choice you make is your own responsibility.
For example, as soon as Chong Bo Gun lets go, more than 10,000 people will die immediately. Should he let go or not? If Chong Bo Gun never intervened in this matter, then even if hundreds of thousands of people died in the downstream, it would be different from him in terms of fate.
There was no involvement at all. But since he had already intervened, if he let it go at this time, in a sense, he would have killed more than 10,000 people with his own hands.
In fact, what Shaowu made was the same decision, but the matter still had to be handled by Chong Bo Gun. Perhaps from the perspective of a calm onlooker, no one would blame Chong Bo Gun for this, but who can
Are you sure that everyone in the world will think so?
People may put forward various hypotheses. For example, if Chong Bogun persists for two more months and asks the minister to send people to various places in Bayuan to inform the more than 10,000 people of the approaching flood and order them to move to safe areas in time, then everyone will
They won't die. There is obviously a better solution, why didn't you do it?
And people often only put forward various hypotheses, but it is difficult to truly consider the feasibility of these hypotheses. Those people have violated the monarch's orders, will they obey the monarch's orders this time? Then spend huge energy on such things
I am afraid that the city walls of various places cannot bear it. The king has already done the same thing and has seen the results. Why do he have to do it again? To be continued^
