Standing on the river bank, Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the sunlight above his head, only to feel his body burning hot.
"Lord, a letter from Zuo Shiren."
Xu Mu took it, opened it and glanced at it a few times. He found that as expected, Zuo Shiren mentioned in the letter the possibility of a severe drought and asked him to be careful. In his words, he also expressed tactfully that he was scolding the mother for not being nice to God.
.
After putting the letter away, Xu Mu squatted down and fished in the river a few times, and found that the line of the monument on the river bank had dropped by several knots.
There are dead fish floating in the river.
"Generally speaking, there will be rain before a severe drought. But the previous rain should not be counted." Dongfang Jing's face was full of worry.
"This God is a little unreasonable."
The great alliance is about to be launched, and the crusade against the Demon Queen is about to begin. After collecting the grain, they will unite the world and attack Cangzhou. Now, it is good, one after another, signs seem to indicate that a severe drought is coming in the Xiangjiang area.
Moreover, if a severe drought does occur, water-thirsty states like Northwest Liangdi will probably suffer as well.
"Bolie, has the order been passed on?"
Dongfang Jing nodded, "It's passed. According to the Lord's wishes, all states have begun to dig wells. The most important thing is the rice fields, which are the basis of our survival in Xishu. The teacher's side has also begun to harvest rice. Come back.
He wrote the letter and said, 'If I make a mistake, I will bear the responsibility alone'."
"How could I give it up?" Xu Mu shook his head. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with Jia Zhou's plan. He would have done it just as well.
It doesn't matter if we subtract 30%, but if we do nothing, the real big problem will be when all the rice fields die of drought.
But as long as the grain is harvested, there won't be any big problems. The rest only needs to store water and prevent and control the plague after drought.
But the only thing that made Xu Mu feel unhappy was the meeting of the alliance.
"Bo Lie, as you said, God is really unreasonable." Xu Mu sighed. Droughts and floods usually occur in summer, but now it is extremely strange.
"Lord, there is another happy event."
"What."
"Wei Chun, over there, someone just sent three built wooden luan."
"really!"
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "My lord, can I still lie to you?"
Xu Mu couldn't care anymore and hurried to the city.
Sure enough, in the arsenal in the city, three wooden Luan's sent by Wei Chun were found. It was really a wise choice for him to keep the sick son of the Wei family.
"Lord, how do you use this thing?"
"Using the opportunity to glide from a high place to spy on the enemy city from a high position."
This kind of thing was already done by Gongshuban during the Warring States Period in parallel time and space.
"If this is the case, Yu Wen's side seems to be in greatest need."
Yu Wen was guarding Yucheng City, but at Xinyue Pass, the key enemy situation could not be detected.
Xu Mu thought for a moment and shook his head, "It cannot be exposed for the time being. I think it will be of great use when we gather together to form an alliance."
The principle of gliding is very simple. If it were exposed, I guess the Demon Queen would be able to figure it out very quickly.
"However, you and I will find a place to try it out first."
According to Xu Mu's request, the wooden luan made by Wei Chun is only about one foot in length. Due to the various conditions, it can only carry one person. If it were more, there would be problems with bearing the weight.
Moreover, the landing after gliding is also extremely dangerous. If the operation is not careful, it is very likely that both the person and the wooden Luan will crash together.
This is the limitation of the times. Wei Chun is already incredible to be able to make Muluan like this.
Standing on the top of the mountain, after hesitating for a long time, Xu Mu decided to try it himself.
"My lord, please don't try it yourself. I'll look for someone with a smaller stature on your lord's behalf." Dongfang Jing hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Bolie, there is no need to do this-"
"General Tiger, hold me down, my lord."
Si Hu was stunned.
"General Tiger, my lord is about to jump off the cliff!"
Si Hu burst into tears and burst into tears. He hurried over and hugged Xu Mu tightly.
"Brother Mu, why can't you think about it? As soon as you leave, Sihu will give the white-haired man to the black-haired man again. At worst, I won't need my monthly salary anymore, and I will also give you my green headscarf."
"Get out." Xu Mu was speechless. In the end, he didn't insist anymore. He understood that Dongfang Jing was afraid that he would be in danger.
"My lord is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the soul of Western Shu, and the hope of millions of people! Please, lord, don't take such risks." Dongfang Jing was so frightened that his body trembled.
"Bo Lie... don't be angry." Xu Mu hurriedly walked back and calmly tried to coax the little strategist.
"Whether it's a battle or a trial of Muluan, my lord needs to remember that the two princesses, the teacher and I, Yu Wen, Chai Zong, Lu Xiu, Chen Zhong and Dou Tong... we are here because of my lord.
We are together. If something unexpected happens to my lord and my young lord is still in his infancy, the land of the six states of Western Shu will turn into clouds and smoke."
Listen, Xu Mu felt uncomfortable.
"Lord, please promise me not to do these things in the future."
"Bolie, I know, I know."
Dongfang Jing breathed out, turned around, and ordered the guard next to him. After a while, he invited a smaller soldier.
The young soldier came over, saluted, and without any hesitation, he put on his velvet robe and tied Muluan's animal belt as required.
"If he unfortunately dies, I promise him that his family will have some compensation. There are many people in the six states of Western Shu who are willing to die for the lord. It is not cruel, but we all understand that in this huge world,
Only my lord can lead us to establish a new dynasty and bring peace to the world."
"Brother Mu, if you jumped just now, I would jump down with you." Si Hu bulged his eyes.
Xu Mu reached out and slapped Si Hu on the shoulder.
"Even if you jump, you won't even jump. By the way, Si Hu, you just said that you don't want the monthly salary?"
Si Hu ran away in a hurry.
Xu Mu smiled and personally pushed Dongfang Jing's wooden wheel cart to the edge of the cliff. The two of them sat and stood up and began to watch carefully. The little soldier who was testing the wooden luan was about to rise above the sky.
In this era, like a flying bird, mankind will begin its first round of soaring into the sky.
"Lord, fly, fly."
Under the hot sky, the little soldier really took off while gliding by the wooden luan. He followed the cliff and swept with spread wings.
With only the force of gravity and wind, it disappeared like a black dot in the blink of an eye.
"When spying on an enemy city, such as this kind of wooden luan, you have to calculate the distance. Otherwise, you may be in great danger when you set foot." Dongfang Jing looked serious.
Wood Luan is an unpowered flying object. Not only the distance, but also the wind direction, mountain topography, etc. must be estimated.
Only in this way can the task of spying on the enemy city be completed.
"The gliding time is too short and needs to be improved." Xu Mu frowned.
Strive for excellence, just like the white-armored cavalry. Only in this way can you unleash greater potential in war.
"Brother Mu, why is it getting hotter and hotter? The leaves on the mountain are all wrinkled." Si Hu suddenly ran back and kept muttering.
This sentence made Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing both worried for a moment.
