Chapter 129: Action Leaked
In the camp, Tao Ling was urging Jiang Mengyin to hope that she would restore the position of Shui Qingyang officials as soon as possible to avoid unhappy at home, but Jiang Mengyin was hesitant.
At this time, when he heard the report outside the tent, the two girls immediately stopped talking, Jiang Mengyin shouted and came in, Mu Shengnan stepped in and saluted the two of them.
"Shengnan, what happened? Your face was not very good." Jiang Mengyin looked at Mu Shengnan with confusion, worried that the other party had heard the sound of the wind.
Mu Shengnan looked at the ground and bowed: "Report to the city lord and the chief manager, there is a report on important matters in the humble position."
Jiang Mengyin and Tao Ling looked at each other, and the other's expression inevitably made people feel that things were very difficult. Tao Ling immediately asked: "What's wrong? Don't delay it."
Mu Shengnan then explained Shui Qingyang's plan in detail.
After listening, Jiang Mengyin stood up, her beautiful face full of joy, and her earrings on both sides kept shaking.
Tao Ling recalled the details of the plan and after pondering it back and forth several times, she did not find any obvious problems. She also looked at Mu Shengnan solemnly.
Jiang Mengyin had already stepped forward quickly, grabbed Mu Shengnan's hand, and said with a soft smile: "Shengnan is really the beloved general of this city lord. It is worth the exception of promotion from this city lord. If he can turn the tables in one fell swoop, Shengnan will be the first to win."
Whether the plan is good or not can be seen as long as it is not a fool, at least the plan just now is more clever than ever.
Jiang Mengyin did not forget to turn around and glared at Tao Ling. The other party also said that Mu Shengnan is brave but not wise? This is also called courage but not wise? Is it better to be both wise and brave?
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Mengyin's happiness had passed, Mu Shengnan looked up and said, "The city lord misunderstood. This plan was not thought of by Beizhi, but was provided by Shui Qingyang."
It was like a pot of huge cold ice water topping, Jiang Mengyin opened her rosy cherry lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tao Ling was also stunned by it, but she had some doubts just now, not thinking that Mu Shengnan's brain could come up with such a plan. She immediately asked: "When did Shui Qingyang tell you?"
Mu Shengnan: "Just shortly after, he asked Bei Zhi for a mountain map..."
Before she could finish her words, Tao Ling asked in surprise: "You mean, Shui Qingyang asked you for a map and came up with this plan on the spot?"
After a moment of silence, Mu Shengnan nodded with difficulty and did not hide anything. Her personality has always been like this, one is one, two is two, so arrogant that she refuses to tell any lies, and even more disdain to be greedy for Qingyang's contributions.
At this time, Jiang Mengyin and Tao Ling were throbbing.
The two women thought at the same time that it was no wonder that Shui Qingyang won the first place in the sword test conference. In addition to his own strength, he would not be able to stand out without the scheming and ability to adapt.
Some things only need to be proved once. If you don’t mention anything else, just talking about the plan provided by Shui Qingyang is enough to justify him.
Tao Ling couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that he is a famous scholar. No wonder even the Lord of Qin Hezhou is said to be both wise and brave. The Lord of the City, you can't just leave such talent alone."
Her tone was half serious and half joking, but Jiang Mengyin knew very well that Aunt Ling was definitely saying this on purpose.
Sure enough, Mu Shengnan's face turned even more ugly when he heard this.
She stretched her chin, and suddenly took a step back, bowed and said, "I am fortunately loved by the city lord. I served as a lieutenant, but I did not fulfill my responsibilities. I have the great kindness of the city lord. Please allow the city lord to resign from the position of the lieutenant."
Jiang Mengyin hurriedly said: "You don't have to do this, I know you have tried your best..."
"Stop talking about the city lord." Mu Shengnan looked firm: "Why do you have to rely on your position if you are not qualified? Not only will you be ashamed of your humble position, but you will also make others doubt the fairness of the city lord, which will affect the majesty of the city lord.
The city lord is relieved. Beizhi was not discouraged. He just wanted to find the position he deserved based on his own ability. One day, Beizhi will prove that the city lord was not mistaken, and he would like to help the city lord!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands and maintained his posture.
Jiang Mengyin was moved. She could feel the other party's arrogance and firmness from Mu Shengnan's words, but she was afraid that from the very beginning, the other party planned to resign from the position of lieutenant. And Aunt Ling's words strengthened her thoughts.
Just because she is not as good as others, she would rather give up the power and honor of the lieutenant than to be. Jiang Mengyin didn't know that she should praise the other party for being ambitious or laugh at her as stupid.
But it was this almost ridiculous seriousness that made Jiang Mengyin's gaze even gentler. She stepped forward and held Mu Shengnan's hand and said sincerely: "Shengnan, I read you right. Don't worry, there will always be a place around the lord of this city."
Mu Shengnan was also a little excited and said with a hint: "Thank you, the city lord, I will live up to my expectations."
Jiang Mengyin forced her to chat for a while before letting her leave. As soon as the person left, Tao Ling immediately said: "City Lord, it's time to meet Shui Qingyang."
She didn't care about Mu Shengnan, but only when Shui Qingyang would be properly maintained. If this matter was not implemented for a day, Tao Ling would not be able to live in peace. She was always worried that her family would take surgery on her after they knew the situation. In short, she was ten times more anxious than Shui Qingyang.
But Jiang Mengyin waved her hand: "No need, Aunt Ling will announce it on my behalf."
Knowing that the lady still couldn't afford to lose face, Tao Ling didn't force her and hurriedly left the tent.
Not long after, she found Shui Qingyang, took the other party to the quarry, and announced in public that she would restore her official position, while Mu Shengnan was demoted to an ordinary monk again.
The monks who watched the whole process were all happy. There were also two vice-captains who were replaced by Yan Ping and Zhong Xue, who were even more sneered.
This is a typical example of changing orders every day and going back on your word. The adjustments you made myself slapped yourself in just a few days. You simply regarded the great affairs of the Immortal Dynasty as a playhouse. It was indeed the eldest daughter of a noble family. One thought was about it!
If Tao Ling hadn't been there, some people would have laughed out loud.
Of course, people like An Dawei are naturally much more sleek, so they immediately stepped forward to congratulate Shui Qingyang on their behalf. Shui Qingyang gave gifts one by one.
Mu Shengnan, who was once in a glorious place, was standing in a corner where no one noticed, and her fists were clenched white. Beside her were Yan Ping and Zhong Xue. The two of them did not express any words to comfort themselves because they knew they didn't need it.
As the official regained the captain, Shui Qingyang didn't feel anything. For him, since he decided to break up the arrogance of the three cities and gain weight by Jiang Mengyin, he should fight quickly.
He immediately pulled An Dawei aside and revealed his plan. An Dawei was also shocked. He learned that the city lord had agreed and gave a thumbs up to Shui Qingyang.
As night comes, the moon is bright and the stars are flashing.
A group of people used their magic power and climbed all the way to the highest peak along the steep cliff. The peak was about thousands of feet high, the air was thin, and the mountain was cold, but it had little impact on the monks present.
The leader was Shui Qingyang. He held a map in his hand and had An Dawei's guidance. The group soon climbed the peak again and arrived at a lakeside.
The lake in front of me is pitch black in the night, and the shadow of the bright moon is reflected in the middle of the lake. The water and green sun urge their magic power to see it, but they still cannot see the edge of the lake. It is like a piece of black jade, deeply engraved on the vast land on the top of the peak.
In the map, this lake occupies a large area and has a depth of hundreds of meters.
The reason why this mountain range can produce hydrosolids is inseparable from the accumulated water over the years. Over the years, such a huge lake has naturally been born.
Shui Qingyang flew around the lake and soon discovered several downward tributaries, which were also marked on the map.
He focused on one of the southeast. After arriving in the field, he found that this tributary was more than ten meters wide. Due to the gentle terrain, the water was not very turbulent.
He circled back and forth a long time around, stopped from time to time, took a pen to outline the lines on the map, and after returning to the initial observation point, Shui Qingyang asked: "Brother An, how long is it before the rainy season here?"
An Dawei: "It's May now, and there's one month at most."
Shui Qingyang took out the map and found that he drew many lines from the giant lake on the top of the peak. In the end, these lines gathered into a point and pointed to a narrow place.
And that place is not far from the Hydroxyl Mountains.
"No further ado, Brother An, let's divide our troops into two groups, and take action immediately." Shui Qingyang circled two lines, one of which was pointed at An Dawei.
An Dawei didn't say anything, and immediately waved his hand and rushed to the distance with his subordinates. Shui Qingyang led dozens of monks including Song Yuhu to leave from the other direction.
Soon, everyone fell in front of a dense jungle. Here, along the hillside, the huge lake at the end.
"Take it!" Shui Qingyang issued an order. The monks who had already received the instructions immediately dispersed in groups, and then activated their magic power to bombard the ground.
In fact, what Shui Qingyang has to do is not complicated. It is to dig many ditches to lure the water from the giant lake down, and finally form a stream and impact the monks of the three cities.
Of course the process is not that simple, but this is the basic idea.
According to his plan, every night when the monks in Yuzhao City quietly divided some people and dug out multiple ditches along the mountain, connecting the lake and tributaries at one end, and leading to the Hydrite Mountains at the other end.
In order to ensure confidentiality, monks who dig trenches are not allowed to act alone and have to rotate every night. They have to rest for a few days a month to prevent the attack of the three cities.
Based on the distance from this place to the Hydrangshi Mountains, Shui Qingyang estimated that this project would take more than two months, so confidentiality is the top priority.
He personally took the battle and appointed Song Yuhu and Yixiong to supervise it together. The ditches digging area every night has been limited, so the three of them only need to stand in a specific position to take the overall situation.
When it was Mingye, Mu Shengnan and the other two were responsible. As for An Dawei's side, they did not return to Shui Qingyang, but he believed that Jiang Mengyin would not be vague.
After a hurry, two groups of people covered up the traces with plants and trees, they each returned to the quarry.
After that, four groups of people rotated alternately. For each part of the process, Shui Qingyang marked the corresponding distance on the map to calculate the final progress.
The people from the three cities in the middle of the journey attacked twice. Fortunately, Shui Qingyang was cautious enough and had ten days to rest every month, otherwise he would almost reveal his feelings.
Under the continuous suppression of powerful enemies, Yuzhaocheng retreated continuously and lost nearly 100 meters of hydrostatic vein mine, and even the original quarry was forced out.
Jiang Mengyin held back the fire. At this time, she was looking forward to the day when the ditch was dug. Even if it was Shui Qingyang's plan, she was extremely hopeful to succeed.
Who knew that in a quarry in the Three City, Liu Youxiao was spreading a piece of paper. This was secretly handed to him by a monk during the battle tonight.
