Few people take Zhibai's words to heart.What about the fairy master?Healing the empress, spraying water to extinguish the thunder and fire in the Zhaoming Palace, these sounds shocking, but when you think about it carefully, they are just small tricks, how big is the Zhaoming Palace?But now it is talking about draining a swamp, and that place is not the size of one or two acres of land. The meadows on the grassland are so big that you can’t see the edge at a glance, and the small ones are far from being comparable to a palace. It is simply beyond human power to drain this huge place.What's more, the rain can fall from the sky, but the water in the swamp is in the soil. How can we separate the water from the soil?Could it be that it is roasted with fire?I'm afraid that before the water dries up, Zhao Di's men will turn into barbecues.

Only Qi Jun, as soon as he heard this, pulled Zhibai back to the side: "Do you have a solution?"

Zhibai sighed for a long time: "Try it. Be quiet and don't disturb idlers." It's just that in this way, you will lose your cultivation. Alas, after all the calculations, since entering the capital, the consumption of cultivation is more than the gain. There is still a lot of aura, and it is really a loss-making business.

"What is this?" There were only Zhibai and Qi Jun in the room, and Qi Jun looked at the knuckle-length thing that Zhibai made out of mud, not knowing why, "It looks like a fish."

"This is a long whale." Zhibai picked up the small glass bottle that someone had sent for, put the whale made of mud into it, and placed it in the center of the table.A sheet of white paper has been laid out on the table, with bright red cinnabar drawing complicated patterns on it, it looks like a fish, and the glass bottle is pressed against the fish's eyes.I don't know if it was because of his eyesight, but as soon as he put the bottle on, Qi Jun felt that the muddy whale tail seemed to move, but when he looked again, there was no movement.

"A long whale absorbs water, and a swamp is no more than a mouthful of a long whale." Zhibai looked solemn, "It's just that this water can't disappear in the air. As much as it is absorbed today, it will be returned tomorrow. This year's rainy season, the Northwest is afraid that it will be destroyed." It's flooding."

Qi Jun frowned: "First solve the urgent need, and then repair the water conservancy later."

Zhibai sighed softly, bit his finger, and began to smear on the bottle.The blood on his finger stained the bottle wall and disappeared quickly, as if it was sucked in by the transparent glass.Qi Jun stared at the mud whale in the bottle, not because he was dazzled, but when he knew that the long mud whale was really alive when he smeared it with white. Some water stains.At first it was just a few drops of water on the wall of the bottle, and then it was the water at the bottom of the bottle. When Zhibai finished painting, the water in the bottle had already submerged the mud whale, and there was a plop, and it was the mud whale that slapped it with its tail. A splash of water immediately sank to the bottom of the bottle and did not move.

Although Qi Jun has been familiar with all kinds of miraculous things since he met Zhibai, it is still jaw-dropping that such dead objects made of clay and wood can come alive.He pointed to the glass bottle, choked for a moment before saying: "The water in here..."

Zhibai picked up the glass bottle carefully: "This bottle needs to be placed in a good place, it must not be overturned, and the water in it should be allowed to dry before it can be discarded."

Qi Jun looked at it in disbelief, the glass bottle was not as big as the jade cups used by concubines in the palace, and the water in the bottle was really a mouthful, if he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the accumulated water appeared out of nowhere, he would not be killed You will believe that this is the marsh water sucked by the long whale from the meadow.

"Your Highness, please let this bottle be put away. I just don't know how the battle is going with General Zhao. Is it effective to drain the swamp water?" Zhibai felt as if he hadn't slept for a few days at the moment, and his energy was short. many.Qi Jun looked at his completely different appearance, at first he was a little inexplicable, and then suddenly said: "This——is this compromising your morality again?"

Zhibai smiled: "If you can save the lives of those soldiers, it will be a good fortune."

These words sound good, but Qi Jun has been with him for a long time, and just by looking at his expression, he knows that the damage to his cultivation base is not trivial. The so-called good fortune is just words to comfort him.Thinking about this person coming to Beijing with him for a piece of Xingtie, although he was able to enshrine Xingtie and later obtained the Chunjun sword, the damage to his cultivation for helping him several times may far exceed the benefits obtained by Xingtie and Chunjun. It's not worth the candle.This time he went to the border to find another piece of star iron for him to make up for the loss, who would have expected not only to fail, but to lose.As soon as Qi Jun thought of this, the resentment of being tricked into feeding the snake dissipated, and he stretched out his hands unconsciously to rub Zhibai's hair: "Don't worry, I will definitely collect more spiritual objects for you in the future."

But at this moment, Zhao Di, who had already fallen into despair, stood leaning on his horse, using the mount that had already been hit by several arrows to cover himself, looked at the lieutenant beside him and smiled wryly: "I am also dead."

The lieutenant general was also covered in blood in his armor, and he was still swinging his sword against the flying arrows. He said in his mouth, "General Jia Bi has brought people back to report the news. General, reinforcements may arrive soon!"

Zhao Di smiled bitterly: "Where will there be any reinforcements? The city gate is empty, and the left and right gates can be adjusted. When they come--" He looked up at the front, and a thousand slaves were condescending, so he borrowed The terrain of the pass is only suitable for shooting arrows, but their feet are covered with sticky mud, which makes it difficult for them to move, let alone fight.There was clearly a flat meadow behind him, but at this time it turned into a swamp, and some retreating horses and horses were trapped in it. At this time, no one cared to rescue them, and watched them slowly sinking, first their feet, then their feet. The legs, the hind abdomen, the waist, the chest, the neck, the first ones to sink in, now only a head and the hands raised above the head remain.hateful!If this place was not a swamp, he divided his troops into two groups to counterattack the pass, and in just a moment he could kill all the 1000 people, and then encircle Jienu's soldiers and horses in the mountains, which is a great achievement!It's just that God doesn't give it to me, and now it's really like what the Xiuming Immortal Master said, they can't care about each other from head to tail.hateful!If it wasn't for the curse of the demon way, how could he be so unlucky!

The sky suddenly became gloomy, and an arrow flew from the side, hitting the rear of Zhao Di's mount.The horse neighed in pain, and its four hooves stomped hard in the mud, trying to struggle out.Looking at his beloved mount, Zhao Di felt as if he had been hit by an arrow.No matter how hard the horse struggled, its four hooves would sink deeper and deeper, sticking tighter and tighter. Since it was forced to the edge of the meadow, it has been such a futile struggle for countless times.

Heh heh—the horse let out a long neigh, and it raised its front hooves, and the person stood up, and then the front hooves landed, and the back hoofs kicked back, and swiftly dodged another arrow that was flying past. The appearance of being stagnant and unmovable!

"General, here!" The lieutenant stomped his feet in disbelief, "This place, it's done!"

Zhao Di was startled, and lifted his feet subconsciously. Both his feet were stuck in the mud. At this moment, it was more difficult to lift than before, as if he was stuck in a stone, but after lifting, he fell again. Sure enough, I felt that the land where I landed was dry and hard, which was quite different from the sticky and slippery feeling just now.He looked down, it was the end of spring at this time, and the weeds on the meadow were green and fresh as if oiled, but at this moment they were all withered and yellow, as if they had suddenly jumped from spring to autumn.Originally, the soil under the grass was covered tightly, but now the grass is withered, and the mud underneath is exposed, which is also dry and cracked.Zhao Di raised his eyes in a daze, and saw that the vast meadow had turned into a withered yellow area before he knew it.

"General, the swamp is dry!" The sergeants who had been driven deeper into the swamp were overjoyed and struggled to climb up.Although the wet mud dries up to imprison them even tighter, as long as they can break free, they will be flat ground wherever they land.

"God bless...God bless..." Zhao Di's lips trembled, and it took him a long time to make a sound, then he suddenly raised his long sword and pointed it at the sky, "God bless, a miracle happened, God bless me Dasheng, sons, get on the horse with me and separate from left to right Snipe and kill Jienu, leave no one alive, go!"

The response sounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and all the soldiers, even those who were already scarred, or who were just dragged out of the swamp by their companions and were weak due to poor breathing, as long as there was still a breath, they all shouted and climbed on the horseback , brandishing the sword in his hand, he rushed out with the dry clods on his body and feet.

The Jienu on the pass could see it more clearly than the Sergeant Dasheng who was trapped in the meadow. At the moment when the sky suddenly became overcast, the meadow in their field of vision gradually faded from green to withered yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it even if they were killed.

Jie Nu's captain couldn't help but looked up to the sky.It was afternoon at this moment, and the sky was blue and cloudless, but just above the sky above, a huge shadow appeared out of thin air, not like clouds, but like some huge living thing, with fish-like tails still left and right Swing, thousands of miles in length.This shadow just covered the huge meadow below, and then...

Captain Jienu lowered his head and glanced at the meadow again. The yellowish-brown color looked like a huge scar on the green grassland. When he looked up again, the shadow in the sky disappeared, as silently as it appeared.If it weren't for his self-confidence and superior vision, he would have thought that he was dazzled just now.

But at this time, there is no time for him to doubt himself. The Dasheng soldiers and horses trapped in the swamp lost about 500 people, and 1000% of the rest were wounded, and there were even a thousand people who didn't even have horses. Difficulty, but like a hungry tiger going down the mountain, it doesn't even care about the injuries on its body, and the soldiers have come rushing in two directions.There are only [-] Jienu in the pass, how can they resist?Although they have strong bows and arrows, when the two sides meet hand in hand, these strengths can no longer be used.The sound of killing at the pass was loud and blood splattered, but after an hour, only a hundred of the thousand slaves were left lying on the ground panting for their last breaths, and the rest turned into dead souls under the sword.

Zhao Di raised his hand and pulled out the iron arrow that shot into his shoulder, threw it on the ground fiercely, raised his sword and shouted: "The main force of Jienu is at the front, rush up and wipe them out, this general asks you for credit!"

Hearing the words, the sergeants who had replaced the seriously injured horses with Jienu horses raised their swords in their hands, and the swords standing in the sun shone dazzlingly cold, with blood that had not dried up: "Kill! "

Zhibai fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sun had already set, and a bright red line like blood was smeared on the horizon.He sat on the bed and stretched himself, feeling a little dazed when he saw the bright sunset.When Qi Jun came in, he saw him leaning against the window in his middle coat, his hair was disheveled, and his face was still sleepy, but his face was rosy after rest, and was reflected by the setting sun again, as if he had applied rouge.Qi Jun couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch it, and then realized that he was a little out of control. His hand finally fell on Zhibai's crooked bun and tugged lightly: "Have you rested? Seeing that his face is a little better, I Ask someone to stew lotus seeds and white fungus soup for you, and drink a bowl?"

As soon as he said this, Zhibai's stomach gurgled suddenly, the sound was as loud as thunder, Qi Jun couldn't help but burst out laughing, his face flushed when he laughed, and he rolled his eyes at him: "Your Highness If you are so happy, it must be that General Zhao has good news?"

It is indeed good news.Although Zhao Di was in the middle of the ambush, he was a good fighter on the battlefield.This time, more than 8000 of his troops were killed, hundreds were seriously injured, and countless were slightly injured. However, more than 8000 of Jienu's 6000 men were wiped out, and only a few teams of remnants fled.What's more, these [-] people were actually led by the fourth prince Jienu himself.The fourth prince is famous among Jienu for his bravery and combat skills. Although he is not the eldest son, Jienu's rules are not to set up the eldest son and set up a heir. The voice was the loudest, if it wasn't for the fact that the eldest prince's mother was the concubine of King Jienu, and his natal family was a noble on the grassland, King Jienu would have made him his successor long ago.Moreover, this fourth prince's attitude towards the Sheng Dynasty is not respectful. If he really succeeds as Jienu King in the future, I am afraid that the Northwest will be more peaceful than it is now.Therefore, Zhao Di's credit for beheading the fourth prince of Jienu was You Sheng's total annihilation of [-] people.

Zhibai was drinking the lotus seed and white fungus soup, his eyebrows were beaming when he heard it: "It's strange that General Zhao is very lucky, so the great merit is here."

Qi Jun joked with him in a good mood: "I'm afraid that when you hear that so many people have died, you will suddenly feel compassionate."

With a mouth full of lotus seeds in his mouth, Zhibai retorted inarticulately: "The world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as straw dogs. These people died in battle, and it is also due to their fate. Why should you be sad? Besides, the Jie slaves are defeated, and the border can be peaceful. If people live and work in peace and contentment, they don't have to worry about their lives. This is what is called killing to stop killing is a meritorious thing, and it is different from ordinary killing."

Qi Jun laughed: "Stop killing with killing, well said!" Then he remembered something and hesitated.

Zhibai buried his head in the soup pot of lotus seed soup, squinted his eyes at him: "If your Highness has anything to say, just say it."

Qi Jun hesitated for a moment, and sat down beside Zhibai: "This year is the fortieth birthday of the father, and April is the Longevity Day."

Zhibai nodded.The Sheng Dynasty paid special attention to the whole life. Emperor Jing'an was very afraid of death, so he didn't like to celebrate the Longevity Festival. Even the birthdays of the people in the palace were not easy to organize. But last year, the Queen's [-]th birthday was a big one. After a while, we can see the importance of longevity.Emperor Jing'an is a few years younger than the empress, and the Longevity Festival in April this year is also going to be a big event.

Qi Jun was a little hard to say: "The birthday gift prepared by Concubine Ye Gui and the second emperor's younger brother for the father must be very precious..." With General Ye outside, there is nothing good that can't be found.

"Didn't Your Highness have this year's big victory?" Knowing Baifu to the heart, what gift is more important than killing a Jienu prince?

"But Zhao Di's victory is actually due to you." Qi Jun unconsciously scratched the hem of his clothes with his fingers, "But now, except for me and Zhao Di, no one knows that the sudden dryness of the swamp is due to you." , even the generals and common people, they all only say that God blesses my dynasty."

Zhibai rolled his eyes and suddenly understood: "Your Highness wants to offer auspiciousness!" A victory is certainly good, but with Emperor Jing'an's temper, he might not like the auspiciousness from heaven more.

"Yes—" Qi Jun felt a little guilty, "It's just that, your credit..."

Zhibai waved his hands nonchalantly: "What do I need these credits for? Besides, if the credits are all made by soldiers with swords and guns, I am nothing."

Qi Jun stared at him, thinking for a while, not knowing what to say, and then said slowly after a while: "I will try my best to make up for your damaged cultivation. If I gain power in the future, I will use the whole country to search for spiritual things for you." , If you break this oath, heaven and man will hate it."

Zhibai was taken aback by the heavy oath he made suddenly: "Your Highness, there is a god above your head, and you should not speak out the oath lightly."

Qi Jun smiled instead: "Of course I didn't say it lightly. It's better to have gods around, who can prove it for me." Disgusted!"
