Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Chapter 271 Heavy Rain

"Get up. I haven't seen you for three years. Has Zhengnan grown taller again?"

Luo Zhengnan smiled shyly and stood up. He didn't expect that he could grow taller. "Hehe, it's because our Xiao family army has good food."

Xiao Zhixing patted him and turned to help the Heihe tribe leader, "Heihe tribe leader, please stand up. You don't need to be so polite."

Heihe stood up, his eyes showing a bit of nervousness and joy, "Your Highness is a great noble of the Heiyi tribe. Heihe kneels to thank you on behalf of the entire tribe. You deserve this gift."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and extended his hand, "You are welcome. It is also the sincerity of the Black Barbarians towards our tribe. I treat my friends as I would my family. Please."

The group entered the military camp, and Xiao Zhixing inspected the situation in the camp. During the inspection, he kept talking to the Heihe tribe leader and asked about the production and living conditions of their tribe.

After lunch, they rode for two days to the border of the territory occupied by Xiong Chumo.

"There are only 4,000 households here, and the surrounding area is deserted. After I built a protective belt around the border town, I taught them to read and farm, and abolished slavery. In just two months, the people have already surrendered."

Standing on the newly built city tower, across the Jianan River is the Nanyi.

The Jianan River runs through the south, and even Suzhou has its tributaries.

It winds and twists, and it is possible that one section is in Dasheng and the adjacent section is in Nanyi.

The terrain is complex and there are many hills and dangerous peaks along the way. In places where the water flows slowly, there are mostly swamps and wetlands on both sides, so there are few places to build a city.

Jianan Pass and Wangbei Pass on the Nanyi side are the only major passes built.

Xiong Chumo robbed the cities of Nanyi and rebuilt them into one. After careful calculation, he stationed a large number of troops in a place called Abaguan.

Aba Pass became a convenient passage between Haizhou and Nanyi.

Further west is the other half of the territory occupied by Huo Baijun. They incorporated all the Nanyi areas in the southern part of Huzhou into their territory.

Xiao Zhixing glanced across.

The Jianan River is nearly 100 meters wide during the dry season, serving as a natural barrier.

If the river floods and becomes turbulent, not only will the flooding be serious, but the chances of a sneak attack on each other will also be basically eliminated.

unless……

Xiao Zhixing suddenly asked the leader of the Black River tribe beside him, "I heard that there are many people in your tribe who are good at swimming. How long will it take to swim across the Jianan River in the slow-flowing season?"

Heihe said: "Your Highness, it would take a man in my tribe who is good at swimming half an hour to an hour to swim across the Jianan River."

Anything can happen in the water, who can guarantee that you will reach the shore on time?

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Yes, Mr. Heihe, I have to ask you to help my Xiao family army train a few more swimming experts."

Heihe's heart moved, "Yes."

After a brief look, Xiao Zhixing and Xiong Chumo turned back and reunited with the main force to continue their journey westward.

On the way, Xiao Zhixing whispered to Xiong Chumo, "Not only swimmers, I heard there is a flying skill in the south. Select soldiers with good balance to learn and master it thoroughly. It will be of great use in the future."

She wrote the name of the stunt on his palm.

Xiong Chumo nodded, his eyes shining, and he immediately understood what she meant. Countless coordinated tactics appeared in his mind.

【Red Barrage: No, what is that special skill? Ah, we want to know. 】

【Green barrage: That’s right, don’t be so mysterious! Calling Plane No. 3. 】

[Yellow barrage: Hehe, I can’t spoil it, but it’s definitely exciting. It’s the most exciting drama of the attack on Nanyi! ]

Xiao Zhixing admitted that she did it on purpose to avoid boring the audience in the live broadcast room.

A few days later, they reunited with the main force and said goodbye to Yang Sheng, who was completely relieved. They left Haizhou and headed for Huzhou.

Xiao Zhixing said with a smile: "Li Wenxiu, this is your territory, tell me what is worth seeing?"

Li Jun said: "Huzhou has many lakes, many mountains on the west side, and a lot of water on the east side. I haven't done anything else in the past three years, but I dredged some rivers and completed several flood control dikes."

Lin Rushu smiled, "Prince Li is too modest. This is a major event that benefits the people. If you do it well, you will have great merit."

"Rushu is right. You have accomplished in three years what others took ten years to accomplish. Your contribution will last for generations. There is no need to be modest." Xiao Zhixing nodded.

Li Jun is indeed experienced in doing things and has a strong learning ability. After suffering a few setbacks at the beginning, he grew rapidly and quickly sorted out the relationships in Huzhou.

He used various methods to rally the people of Huzhou and get the job done.

Huzhou County Magistrate Li Tongye is Li Jun's father-in-law. It was with his support that Li Jun was able to show his martial arts skills in Huzhou in the later period.

It was spring now, and the flowers in the south were in full bloom. The scenery along the way was picturesque, so everyone was in no hurry to travel and followed Li Jun to see several flood control embankments that he led.

Everyone also learned a lot of new knowledge.

Li Jun originally thought that she was somewhat better than Xiao Zhixing in these matters, but she did not expect that she could always hit the nail on the head, offer suggestions, and be targeted.

Liu Zizai praised: "The box of information that the prince gave me is mostly about dam construction and dike building. I benefited a lot from reading it."

Xiao Zhixing said modestly, "It is also very rare that you can apply what you have learned in practice. Now that Qingzhou has become a wealthy city in the west, it is especially rare."

Li Jun coughed and suppressed his rising gloom. Yes, there was also a Liu Zizai. The large weir project in Qingzhou had created thousands of miles of fertile land and had already caused a sensation throughout the world.

So he stopped showing off his knowledge and seriously discussed with everyone what areas could be improved.

Xiao Zhixing smiled secretly, this is what is right.

We walked and stopped like this, looking at the scenery and checking the dams, when we were still two or three days away from Yuansha County, the prefecture of Huzhou County.

There was a heavy rain, and they had to stop in a town called Datan to rest.

"It rains a lot in the south. From late spring to late summer is the plum rain season. Occasionally there will be heavy rainstorms, and the people suffer."

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Indeed, natural disasters in the south are mostly floods, so when you came here to build canals, rivers and embankments, you really care about the people."

Li Jun bowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please stop praising me. I am ashamed."

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed.

But in the evening, the heavy rain continued for two hours without stopping.

Everyone frowned.

Xiao Zhixing directly asked Mo Mei to find the head of the village, "Let him come to see me."

"Li Wenxiu, you are familiar with this place. Go and contact other places quickly to find out how widespread the rain is."

Both should be.

They rented a private house and didn't want to alert the authorities, but if the rain didn't stop, there would be problems.

As it got dark, the rain got heavier.

It was as if there was a hole in the sky, and tons of water poured down from the sky.

Who could live in peace now? Everyone sat in the lobby, waiting for news from all sides.

At this time, Mo Mei came with a few officials. He didn't care about being wet and being rude. He knelt down with a plop, as if he had found a life-saving straw. "Your Majesty, my lords, something terrible has happened. The Xiaoyang River next to our Tan City has risen sharply and is about to overflow the dike!"

Xiao Zhixing stood up and asked, "Have you notified the people to evacuate? Have you organized people to build a second line of defense?"

Mao Zhiren cried, "The rain came too quickly. People are evacuating now, but there are not enough people, so there is no way to arrange a second line of defense."

At this time, news came from Li Jun, "There are heavy rains in the southern, southeastern, and central parts of Huzhou, especially in the area around Datanli. The same situation is also happening in Yuansha County."
