Zong Zheng turned his head and looked at me, with a ridiculous expression on his face, and said, "Why do you still ask me this question?"

“…”

I just felt my heart beating very fast and I looked at him without saying a word.

Zong Zheng said solemnly to me: "Your Highness."

“…!”

Just then, I heard a dull sound.

I thought it was because I was too shocked and it sounded from my mind, but after a while, I realized that everyone around me was looking up and down in surprise, and then I suddenly realized that such a sound was really sounding.

Because I was in the space at the bottom of the dam, I was a little confused. I didn't know whether the sound came from under my feet or from the top of my head. I just felt that the sound was dull like thunder. Although the sound was invisible, at this moment, I felt inexplicably swallowed.

I faintly heard the person guarding the intersection shouting: "It's raining heavily, it's so raining."

"Look, the gate is open!"

The horses still did not stop and continued to walk around the circle hard, pulling the hemp rope on their bodies and pulling the iron frame to rotate slowly. Another dull sound came, and the person guarding the above shouted again: "Another gate is opened!"

Although I can't see the above situation, I can already feel the surging momentum of the flood pouring down from that sound.

I stood there in a daze. At this time, Zong Zheng finally felt something wrong with me. He looked at me in surprise and said, "Your Highness, don't you know yet-?"

I raised my hand and stopped him from continuing.

The thunderous voice was not only sounding outside, but also echoing in my mind. The rumbling sound filled my whole body, making it almost impossible for me to ring anything else.

A strange idea suddenly popped up in me.

Was this the same sound when the Flang machine and cannons were born and slaughtered?

Zongzheng took another step forward: "Your Highness!"

I said, "Don't say it anymore, I-I understand."

After saying this, I turned to Du Yan and said, "Du Yan, hurry up and remind everyone to guard the dam. If a stranger appears, kill him or her!"

As soon as I said this, everyone was shocked. Du Yan did not ask about the cause and effect, and immediately took the order and ran up. Pei Yuanhao walked up to me and said, "What's wrong?"

My cold sweat came out and I said in a deep voice: "They want to blow up the Sanjiang Dam."

"What?!"

Pei Yuanhao was shocked, and even Zong Zheng and his children and grandchildren were shocked. I said, "I have always ignored this before, just thinking about the people who came to hijack me. They had nothing else on them, but they came here to help some people."

Pei Yuanhao frowned: "You mean, your Yan family belongs to-"

"Yes, those of the fifth uncle."

"How can they blow up this dam?"

I said, "At the time in Congyun Temple, I heard the abbot say that some of the things they used to refine alchemy, the ground frost and the stone remains yellow, were stolen."

Before, even if I heard it, I didn't pay much attention to this matter. I just thought it was an ordinary theft. Just now I remembered that the Taoist priests were different from ordinary workers who were mining in mountain mining. Their so-called ground frost and stone yellow are actually saltpeter and sulfur used in mountain mining. These things are mixed together and add some leads to break the mountain and crack the stone!

Uncle Wu and his friends stole the things Cong Yunguan. Didn’t it just that they blew up half of the mountain in Taihe?

But I think, at that time, they might just be an experiment and want to try out the power.

Even the burning of the library in the academy was probably part of this plan. Their real goal was the Sanjiang Dam.

If this dam is destroyed, the gates of Shu can be opened for Jiangling's army to march into Xichuan, and Shu will be completely in chaos afterwards. By that time, they can really do whatever they want in Xichuan!

When everyone shuddered when they heard me say this.

Old Man Zongzheng's face turned pale and he said, "What a cruel method!"

Pei Yuanhao frowned and said, "But, if they want to start, why not take action earlier and take action before we come?"

After asking this sentence, everyone was quiet.

But the next moment, the two of us looked at each other, and sparks almost burst into our eyes. At the same time, there was a sudden burst of fierce fighting sounding outside, and someone shouted outside: "Be careful, they are going to break in!"

I hurriedly walked out a few steps, and couldn't see the situation above, but could clearly hear the sound of swords and swords fighting. At this time, Zong Zheng was also panicked: "What should I do? If they really break here-"

This dam is so huge that ordinary gunpowder can only explode a large pit here, but it is nothing to this dam. However, if they find it here, the center of the control gate is under the opened iron frame. If it is damaged, something really happens!

I hurriedly turned around and asked him: "Can you close the floodgates?"

Zong Zheng said: "No, once the gate is opened, you must wait until the water flows out and the water level falls below the gate before closing the gate."

“How long will it take?”

“…”

Zong Zheng couldn't speak.

I knew it as soon as I saw his expression, but I was afraid that this period of time has not been short.

In other words, our people must persist for this period of time.

Hearing this, Chabixing walked out without saying a word. Pei Yuanhao's face turned pale. At this time, he also said to Wenhu and Wenbao: "Go up immediately, stop those people no matter what, and protect the Sanjiang Dam."

Wenhu and Wenbao received the order and rushed up immediately. Zong Zheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Whoever dares to touch this dam today, I will fight him with this life!"

After saying that, he actually ran out as well.

When he ran away, his children and grandchildren were frightened and hurriedly followed and tried to stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all. He cursed: "If this dam is destroyed, I will be blamed even if I die!"

The noisy sound gradually faded away.

Only Pei Yuanhao and I, Chalin and Su Su are left in this place.

And those horses who knew nothing and were walking slowly with the iron frame.

Without the whip, their speed slowed down, but I had never heard the sound of killing outside, and the screams were endless. In addition, the heavy rain, the water flowed down the slope. It was rain with bloody smell and blood-red, which soon flowed to our feet.

Susu's face changed in fear.

And those horses, who were stimulated by such a bloody smell, seemed a little panicked. Several of them shaking their heads uneasily and walked around.

Just then, another scream came from the above.

A person actually rolled down from above and rolled to our feet. When I saw that he was covered in blood, he was even cut on his face. He looked particularly terrifying. He hurriedly reached out to cover Susu's eyes, but before she could see him, Susu screamed in fear: "Ah--!"

This scream suddenly shocked the horses behind them. They also began to raise their front hooves and make a shrill neigh. Several horses wanted to break free from the reins on their bodies, but they could not break free after swaying for a long time. They just turned their heads and started running backwards.

I was also scared. What would happen to the gate if I ran backwards?

I hurriedly stepped forward to stop me, but before I could take a step, Pei Yuanhao, who was standing beside me, suddenly reached out to stop me.

I turned around and saw that there was no surprise or panic on his face, but instead a solemn expression appeared and looked at me.

At this moment, I seemed to understand something.

At this moment, Chalin, who had been searching for those fine lines along the wall, suddenly said: "Everyone is getting out of the way, get out of the way!"

Pei Yuanhao reached out to protect me and took several steps back one after another. Su Su was so scared by the corpse that she was lost in her mind. She turned around and ran out. After just two steps, she turned back and said to me, "Miss!"

Pei Yuanhao stretched out his hand and grabbed my wrist.

At this time, everything was in chaos.

My ears were filled with the sound of killing outside, as well as the downpour of rain and the rumbling of floods. I originally thought that this was everything, but after a moment, the horses turned around and ran desperately, loosening the reins that had been tightened on the iron frame, and then began to tighten the opposite direction, the iron frame began to slowly rotate in the reverse direction with this powerful force.

I stared at me with my eyes wide open, and suddenly my feet shaking.

Pei Yuanhao grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. I turned around and stared at him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't panic."

“…”

"This is another way to open the gate of the Sanjiang Dam."

“…”

"No one knows."

As I spoke, the shaking under my feet became even more powerful, as if the earth was shaking. I almost thought the dam had been blown up by those people, but when I saw Chalin on the other side staring at the wall with excitement, I could see clearly that the fine and almost invisible lines he had just found were slowly cracking at this time.

There were actually gaps on the wall, and they became larger and larger. As the iron frame rotated in reverse, the entire stone chamber began to turbulent.

When Su Su saw this, she was so scared that she hurriedly wanted to come over and grab me, but as soon as she took a step, she heard a rumbling sound, and a stone wall suddenly fell from her head, blocking her and Chalin outside, and sealing the stone chamber.

"Miss——!"

Her screams were completely blocked outside.
