The old man had already left with the support of the strong man, trembling.
Luo Chuan and his party were still looking at the fork of the river from the high ground.
Luo Chuan pointed to the fork again and said to Chen Shu beside him, "Look, the river that originally turned to the west has accumulated a lot of silt and shoals. Over time, this tributary may be completely cut off.
"It's gone," he traced his finger along the main stream to the south. "According to what the old man said, this river channel is getting deeper and deeper. From the surface, it seems that this time the Luo River changes its course not only to the west, but also to the west."
A large area of cultivated land has been freed up in the Luo River Valley, and it is even possible to cure the flooding problem in the lower reaches of the Luo River. In a few years, when we are free to build some embankments in several low-lying places in the lower reaches of the Luo River,
That will be the time when people can live in peace."
Chen Shu glanced at Luo Chuan's profile, his heart was burning, and he nodded heavily.
"You can't just look at me, this is something we have to work hard on together," Luo Chuan suddenly turned to look at him, smiled and reached out to touch his shoulder, then pointed to his feet, "When that day comes, I will take out the money and
Build a pavilion here, and when you and I come here again, we can watch the river flow and have a drink. It would be a good thing to think about it."
After saying that, he turned to look at the fork of the river, turned around and walked away.
Behind him, Chen Shu clenched his hands and looked at the forked river for a long time, then trotted after him.
The convoy headed west, and when the official road reached the end, the road behind it became bumpy and difficult to walk on. Luo Chuan simply stored the frame of the car at Zhengjia's house in the village at the end of the official road, and several of his own people also rode forward, so the speed was faster.
A few points.
Luochuan in his previous life could not ride a horse. In this life, Luochuan had been living in the capital for a long time and was really not good at equestrian skills, but he could still ride. Needless to say, the old coachman was a master of horse riding. Siqi had loved horse riding since he was a child.
Not bad at all.
What is surprising is that the young female Taoist priest and the two Wangchuan Taoist priests also rode steadily, especially the young female Taoist with such an outstanding appearance. Riding on the horse seemed to be integrated with the horse, which was extremely harmonious, which made Luochuan great.
Open your eyes.
When it was getting dark, the group of people was approaching their destination.
It was a village with a city wall. Although the city wall was only four or five meters high, it already had good defense capabilities against wild beasts or bandits. More importantly, the city wall based on huge rocks could withstand floods when floods came.
Give people around here a place to hide.
The town is called Linshui Town. It is a large town with more than 700 households. It is said that when the Luo River was not diverted, it was almost an empty town. Now it has become prosperous again, but this prosperity is somewhat inconsistent.
Well-behaved.
Lijun is a border county, so the population and household registration control of the people is relatively strict. The same is true for Cangyan. People in one place want to move to another place. If they don't have enough reasons and approval from the local government, they can do so privately.
If you live at your destination, you may be detained by the government for questioning.
At present, most of the people in this Linshui town are illegal immigrants like this. Most of them are people who can't stay elsewhere and sneak here in order to survive.
When he saw the town from a distance, Luo Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. The long journey on horseback made him a little bit unbearable. The inner sides of his thighs were so painful that the old coachman rode on horseback beside him.
He turned to the side and gave him a questioning look. Before Luo Chuan could return a smile, he saw the old coachman suddenly turning his head and looking into the distance!
I saw a plume of dark smoke rising from that town!
The wolf smoke reached straight into the sky, and then slowly dispersed until it floated very high, turning into a dark cloud in the half-red and blue sky!
"Monster?!" Luo Chuan asked with a slight frown.
The old coachman nodded and said with some surprise, "This is already the hinterland of the Cangyan region. There is a huge Xiluo Valley between it and the Cangyan Mountains. How could a monster come here to cause trouble...?"
No one can answer.
Luo Chuan looked back at Sanqi who was following him and asked, "The injuries of the two seniors and Sister Fairy...?"
The young female Taoist shook her head, "I'm fine."
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest also shook his head and said, "It's much better now. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with one or two monsters that appear in Cangyan's hinterland."
Luo Chuan nodded and then shook his head again, "If something fishy happens, we should be more careful." Seeing that everyone looked more serious, he shouted to the tall cavalry general at the front of the team, "Chang Gong, speed up and send two more
Brother, go and investigate in advance, be careful."
The tall general, whose face was always covered with armor, nodded, executing military orders without hesitation like a robot. After a few gestures, the two cavalry in the front team broke away from their formation and ran quickly into the distance, while the other cavalry slowly followed the front team.
Accelerate slowly.
A moment later, the knight who had left earlier galloped back. After exchanging a few gestures with the tall knight at the front of the team, he passed by without stopping and came to the middle of the team to join Luo Chuan and others. "A broken corner of the city wall."
, the monster has entered the city!"
Luochuan was startled. Before he could reply, the young female Taoist who was riding behind him turned into a blue light and shot towards the town in the distance. In just a few blinks, she fell into the city!
Then a rumble of explosions came from far away, and the continuous light suddenly became more conspicuous in the increasingly dark night.
"That monster is not weak," the square-faced Taoist priest frowned and looked at the ferocious-looking Taoist priest, "Senior brother, shall I go and help her?"
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest nodded, and the square-faced Taoist priest turned into a blue light and shot into the city wall.
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse accelerated to catch up to a place closer to Luochuan and said, "To be on the safe side, the young master and the blood knight will stay in the city later..."
Before he could even say the word "foreign", something unexpected happened!
Just as a group of people were speeding towards the town, a ball of yellow light suddenly exploded on the originally pitted ground. The yellow light suddenly rose from the ground with the heavy soil, and the ground on it suddenly rose.
A blood cavalryman and his horse were knocked into the air!!
And just three or four meters behind the attacked blood knight, Luo Chuan, who was not good at riding and had no time to react, pulled the reins slightly forcefully, but the already panicked horse lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Luo Chuan, who was on top of it, only had time to take off his pedals, put his hands on the horse's back, and wanted to jump over the weird yellow bulge!
"careful!"
"Watch out!!"
The old coachman dodged away from the horse and reappeared in mid-air. He clamped Luochuan with one hand and made a seal in the air with the other hand. Even in mid-air, he could still bend down to accumulate strength, twist his body, and use the hand seal as a seal.
The fist hit the yellow bulge with a faint blue ripple!
The ferocious-looking Taoist priest rode his horse to avoid the bulge. The long sword unsheathed behind him turned into a blue light and pierced into the yellow bulge like lightning. The seemingly gentle but actually extremely sharp sword energy pierced the yellow bulge.
