Overlord the sky

Chapter 280 IX The Blushing Man

The two behind-the-scenes figures who have never been on the battlefield, this trip to the East City can be said to be the first time they have gone from behind the scenes to in front of the scene since they have been with the army for so long.This transformation is all thanks to Zheng Qian.This time, they didn't even have the slightest intention to resent Zheng Qian. They subconsciously hoped that Zheng Qian would show up suddenly and give them an unexpected surprise.

But their journey was surprisingly calm.

Although the news of the imperial capital's attack was strictly blocked, where is there an impenetrable wall in this world?In the midst of the bleakness, everyone in Winterfell felt a chill in their hearts.

The whole city was slaughtered!

This is a true rumor that they spread by word of mouth.Some people believed it and wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.Some people don't believe it, and always feel that the news is a bit alarmist.No matter which family is the head of Winterfell, it always needs people.They don't believe that anyone would enjoy being a cursor commander.

Amid such beliefs and disbeliefs, the atmosphere in the four cities of Winterfell was extremely oppressive.Even weapon fights rarely happened.The entire Winterfell City was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Hu Liang and Duan Feng looked at the bleak scene with a hint of chill all the way, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.

I hope that Winterfell will not be destroyed in the hands of their generation.The two thought together.

When they arrived in Dongcheng, the two of them went up to the tower and looked into the distance.They saw no signs of construction outside the east city, as if nothing had happened.Outside the huge east city, in that wide area, there was not a single person.

"Completed?" Hu Liang asked in surprise.

This is an omission on his part.As for intelligence, of course it is best to master everything.The completion of the moat in the east city was such a big event, if he hadn't come here in person, he would have been kept in the dark.

"Princess's speed is too fast. I said why the money from the treasury is spent so fast." Duan Feng knew the reason as soon as he thought about it.

"Great generosity, this is really a great generosity." Hu Liang sighed.

From the previous information, he knew how big the project of the moat in Dongcheng would be. Under the supervision of the princess, it was completed so quickly, which was beyond his expectation.

"It seems that we all underestimated the princess' ability!" Duan Feng said.There was a little self-blame in his tone.He has never discovered this ability of the princess, but Zheng Qian's vision is more poisonous than his, and he has tapped out the potential of the princess.If there is no Zheng Qian, whether the princess's ability will be buried is really a matter of two opinions.

"Sure enough, you can't be sloppy anywhere." Hu Liang immediately thought of information processing, and saw the truth in the details, and he also ignored the princess' ability.Before coming here, in his impression, the princess was just a troublemaker who liked to make trouble everywhere, and he had some contempt for the princess.

"Come on, let's go to the reservoir. According to this progress, the reservoir should have been completed. Let's go and see how big the princess's handwriting is." Duan Feng suggested.

"That's exactly what I mean." Hu Liang responded.

The two of them got off the tower, straddled their horses and walked slowly, the guards recognized the Grand Duke and pointed out the direction of the reservoir to the two of them.

Following the direction pointed by the guard, the two gradually walked away, and stopped in front of a newly built earth hill covered by woods.

The two looked up and saw that the top of the earth mountain was winding along the direction of the forest, and some people were walking on it.In the eyes of Huliang and the others, these people were only as big as ants.

"This should be the dam." Hu Liang said.

"Behind such a dam, the area of ​​the reservoir should be huge. If the dam breaks, it will be a disaster." Duan Feng looked at the dam thoughtfully.

Although Zheng Qian didn't tell him about the purpose of the moat and the reservoir, both of them are people with high IQs. After thinking about the things before and after, the two of them basically guessed Zheng Qian's intentions.

"Water attack!" Hu Liang said.

"There's still Fire Attack!" Duan Feng added.

There is a lot of kerosene buried in the river of the moat.This kind of kerosene is lighter than water. As long as the water is poured into the moat, the kerosene floats on the surface of the water, and then a fire can burn half the sky red.Hu Liang knew this information earlier, but now he realizes that from the day the moat was built, Zheng Qian's idea was to set fire to Fengshuang.

"Zheng Qian is also very poisonous." Hu Liang said.

Duan Feng felt the same, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" Duan Feng asked Hu Liang.

Huliang shook his head.

"Now that we know the purpose of Zheng Qian's project, and he is not here, it seems that we still need to play the role of this project." Hu Liang is a pragmatist, and what he thinks of now is not inspection. It is how to make good use of the two major projects that have spent so much human and financial resources on construction.

"That's good. The moat designed by Zheng Qian seems to have played a key role in this battle. However, it's better not to be discovered by Fengshuang." Duan Feng said.

If Fengshuang wants to suffer heavy losses, Fengshuang does not know the existence of a moat, which is a necessary prerequisite.The reservoir is built into the woods, and the dam runs along the woods. These are the necessary cover to prevent the reservoir from being discovered.

"After spending so much energy, we must not leak the news. I'm afraid this is the reason why Zheng Qian has never told us the purpose of the moat." Hu Liang said in a deep voice.

At this time, he couldn't help but admire Zheng Qian.Anyone who can do this, dares to do it, will not think of anyone other than Zheng Qian in Winterfell.

Those who have the ability to do it may not necessarily be willing to do it; those who are willing to do it may not necessarily have the ability.It took a lot of money to build the two major projects, so Zheng Qian spotted this fighter, and started doing it as soon as he said it, without delaying at all.

A warplane is a fleeting thing.To build these two major projects in the former Winterfell City, there will be a lot of inspections first, and then a group of people will conduct feasibility studies on the construction of the two major projects.There is no need to talk about the time wasted, let alone talk about fighter opportunities.

Maybe when the wind and frost hit the door, the discussion on whether these two major projects can be built has not yet ended.

To be honest, Hu Liang couldn't see Zheng Qian clearly.

Zheng Qian likes to take advantage, but he is the most selfless person he has ever met.The person who threw millions of gold coins to Huben Tuan without even frowning, Hu Liang only saw Zheng Qian's bearing so far.

He likes to brag, but he has never been domineering; he likes to play tricks, but he can live and die with Huben Tuan.The means of doing things are arbitrary, and never care about the established rules.

This is a man full of contradictions.So many contradictions appearing in the same body, it is as puzzling as white light appearing in the black sky.

"Grand Duke, what kind of person do you think Zheng Qian is?"

The two were walking towards Dongcheng, Hu Liang asked about Duan Feng.He is always a little confused about Zheng Qian's actions.In this matter, Duan Feng, who is understanding and understanding, is much better than Hu Liang.

"Both good and evil, dare to act and act." Duan Feng summed up his impression of Zheng Qian in this way.

Hu Liang agreed with Duan Feng's conclusion, "He really is such a person. But why do you think there can be so many contradictions coexisting in one person at the same time?" Hu Liang asked.

"That's right, the envoy is also the only person I have seen in so many years who can balance so many contradictions so well. Generally, people who have so many contradictions like the envoy will choose a suitable direction to develop, In other words, contradictions will also be emphasized. According to my observation of the envoy, this does not happen to him. Therefore, I am also very interested in how the envoy controls and balances these contradictions." Duan peak road.

"Let's talk about it when we see him. I believe he won't be defeated so easily. As long as we defend Winterfell, we will definitely see him again." Hu Liang said with certainty.

"I also hold the same point of view. Although I haven't found the envoy after searching for so long, I am not worried about the envoy's safety. We are more in danger now than the envoy."

"Well, so this matter must be done well. This matter has a bearing on the success or failure of the entire battle situation!" It was rare for Hu Liang to hold such a positive attitude towards Zheng Qian's plan.

He and Zheng Qian have always been eye-to-eye. Although they admire each other in their hearts, they do not verbally acknowledge each other's achievements.This is the first time that Hu Liang expressed his sincerity to Zheng Qian's actions.

Hu Liang rushed back in such a hurry because he thought of a way to blow up the dam.There are still some domineering cores in his warehouse.These domineering cores left behind were left over from Zheng Qian's tiger's mouth last time.

Fill the domineering core with domineering, wait until the wind and frost reach the moat, blow up the dam and divert water into the canal, it will be considered a success.

When passing through the gate of the east city, I met a group of girls coming out of the city.

"Grand Duke? Huliang?" The princess was quite surprised.

These two are people who stay in the room until it gets moldy and don't come out to dry it.The appearance of the two of them together today is a great spectacle in Winterfell.

Hu Liang is not good at dealing with girls, especially princesses.The princess is notoriously troublesome in Huben Group, as long as she is there, there will be no peace in Huben Group.The soldiers of the Huben regiment respected Zheng Qian, but feared the princess.

Hu Liang also knew the princess' notoriety early on.He heard the princess yelling to him, but there was no answer, instead of advancing, he retreated and let Duan Feng come to the front.

"I don't want to eat you. Why are you so afraid of me? You come out, I just have something to ask you. I originally planned to go to your intelligence center, but now that I meet you, I don't need to run away." The princess stood still, looking straight at Huliang.

Hu Liang shrank his head naturally, wondering how he offended the princess.

"Hehe. Princess, don't make things difficult for Mr. Hu Liang. Don't you see that he has some opinions on you?" Duan Feng came up to smooth things over.

"Grand Duke, I didn't open his intelligence center again, what does he think of me?" The princess was puzzled.

Huniu and the three daughters of Jixiang Tea House were puzzled when they saw that the intelligence director of the Huben regiment was so afraid of the princess, their eyes kept jumping back and forth on the princess and Huliang with doubts.

They arrived late and did not encounter the situation when the princess was making trouble in the Huben group.The princess at that time, not to mention Hu Liang, even a thick-skinned man like Hu Wei shrank his head and wiped his sweat when he saw the princess.

The bad image of the princess is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the Huben group.Although she has indeed changed a lot since she recognized Zheng Qian as her husband, and even lost her temper a few times, but the psychological trauma she caused to the soldiers of the Huben Regiment is not so easy to recover.

Xia He looked at Hu Liang who was hiding behind Duan Feng very strangely.

Hu Liang is not very old, so he looks a bit older than the four daughters of Jixiang Tea House. Xia He didn't know the princess's past, so he thought Hu Liang was shy.For a moment, Xia He's sympathy emerged.

She quickly walked up to Hu Liang, pulled the rein on Hu Liang's horse, and said softly, "It's okay, the princess is fine."

At this time, Hu Liang, in Xia He's eyes, was not the intelligence chief of the Huben Regiment, he was clearly a child who came to the city from a foreign country, and got "lost" here.This situation made Xia He's sympathy explode on a large scale.

Being pulled by Xia He's horse's head, Hu Liang couldn't leave even if he wanted to.His face flushed and turned red.

The princess's mouth opened wide, Duan Feng's eyes glistened, and even Hu Niu stared at Hu Liang in disbelief;

Qiu Ju also stared wide-eyed, and even Dongmei stopped her habitual movements of hanging her clothes.
