When Wang Ming saw Leng Qiyue, he ran to her side and said, "Empress, the storm is coming."

Leng Qiyue looked up at the sky. The clouds were moving faster, and there were also more clouds. The moon was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. She hoped that the wind would not stop so soon, because once it stopped, the rain would immediately come pouring down.

"Sir Wang, is there no one else available?" "Send more people to dig." Leng Qiyue asked anxiously.

Wang Ming shook his head. "The soldiers from the city have all come."

Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth and said, "Find some able-bodied commoners. As long as we dig our way to the foot of the mountain, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

Wang Ming did not care too much about the details. He immediately gave the order and a soldier rushed into the city with a gong in his hand.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, over a hundred men rushed over. They prepared their own tools and started digging as soon as they heard the command.

However, the heavens seemed to intentionally make things difficult for them. The stars and moon could no longer be seen in the dark sky. Lightning interweaved and flickered like spider webs. Heavy rumbles rolled endlessly.

Although Leng Qiyue was anxious, there was nothing she could do. She hoped that she could make it in time for the heavy rain. Suddenly, an idea came to Leng Qiyue's mind, she slapped her forehead, and silently cursed: "What a pig, why must we wait?" Wouldn't it be fine if it exploded right now? " However, when she saw the opening, the excitement in her eyes was immediately extinguished by a bucket of cold water. An explosion would cause an earthquake, and the weak point would definitely be multiplied several times in an instant. If the channel was not dug up properly, the water would rush straight to Cheng Li.

Leng Qiyue was as listless as an eggplant.

The fortune-teller's words were accurate. Although the sky was filled with lightning and thunder for a long time, not a single drop of rain fell. At the beginning of the day, heavy rain poured down like a torrential downpour.

Wang Ming arrived in front of Leng Qiyue. The bamboo umbrella in his hand was unable to withstand the wind and was blown away the moment it was opened. Wang Ming took off his raincoat and draped it over her. "Empress, go avoid the rain!"

Leng Qiyue shook her head. She stood at the highest point of the West Dam, watching the civilians and soldiers desperately digging their way out. Those people were exhausted and wanted to give up now that it was raining heavily. However, when they saw Leng Qiyue standing high up in the sky, their bodies all trembled and were once again filled with strength.

Leng Qiyue indifferently said, "They fought so hard in the rain, so how could someone like me who didn't work hard enough go avoid the rain?" People need mental support. I can stimulate them by standing here. Which man would be willing to show weakness in front of a woman? "

Wang Ming nodded in understanding. He didn't ask her to go shelter from the rain anymore and just stood there silently with her.

Even though the weather was gradually getting warmer, the temperature was not even 20 degrees, and the rain was still bone-chilling when it fell on his body. Although the weather was gradually warming, the temperature was not even 20 degrees, and the rain was still bone-piercing when it rained on his body.

Under the stimulation of Leng Qiyue, the men tried their best to dig. It was just noon, and the tunnel was already dug up. Everyone was lying on the ground in exhaustion. Leng Qiyue looked at the sky. The rain had lessened a lot, and it seemed that it would stop for a short period of time.

"Sir Wang, send someone to the inn to find Yan Su and have him bring the things made by me. You must be careful not to get wet. " At this moment, Leng Qiyue's entire body was ice-cold. Her four limbs had already become stiff, and even her words had become stiff.

Wang Ming agreed and instructed someone to go to the inn.

Yan Su had come by lightness skills, so he wrapped the bottle of explosives tightly in an oilcloth. Leng Qiyue inspected it for a bit and found that there was nothing wrong with it other than the lead being slightly damp. Now that everything was ready to go, he hoped that God would be able to help him.

At the end of the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped. Leng Qiyue carried a jar to the foot of the mountain where a small hole had been dug for the explosives.

After putting away the jar, Leng Qiyue felt dizzy. She touched the pot with her hand and felt the boiling heat. She had been wounded by her godmother and had caught a cold after four hours of rain.

Yan Su noticed that something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, "Empress, are you alright?"

Leng Qiyue shook her head. "When I leave later, you will use a torch to light this thread. You must remember, immediately run towards me after igniting it. Use your fastest speed to run, do you understand?"

Yan Su had witnessed the power of the explosion and nodded seriously. Leng Qiyue left confidently, and told Wang Ming to evacuate the group of people at the West Dam.

Yan Su saw that the crowd had gone far, so he used a torch to light the fuse. As a result, the lead wire got damp and didn't burn at all. He was furious. Using the technique of a projectile, he directed the torch towards the pot and then used his Qing Gong to run for his life.

Leng Qiyue watched from afar as Yan Su threw the torch towards him. Her heart rose to her throat. No matter how fast Qing Gong was, could he be faster than an explosion? Sure enough, he hadn't run far. The huge rumbling and vibration made him unsteady. At the foot of the mountain, thick smoke billowed, and rubble flew everywhere …

"After the explosion, Leng Qiyue screamed and rushed to the foot of the mountain." Yan Su — — "

A big hole was blasted in the foot of the mountain. The ditch that was originally dug near the foot of the mountain was almost completely filled up by the rocks. There was no sign of Yan Su. Could it be that he was buried in the rocks?

Leng Qiyue's heart trembled. She treated that blockhead Yan Su as a friend. If something happened to him, she would blame herself for the rest of her life. Not being able to think much of it, Leng Qiyue crazily used her hands to dig at that pile of rubble and shouted with a choked voice, "Yan Su, you bastard, where are you? "Don't let anything happen to her …"

"Empress …" A voice sounded from behind Leng Qiyue.

Stunned, she thought she was hallucinating and continued to dig.

"Niangniang, Yan Su is here." Yan Su's wooden face showed a never before seen excitement. He never thought that Leng Qiyue would be so nervous for him, crying for him.

She slowly turned around. Yan Su's clothes were tattered, and there were a few more bloody lines on his handsome face, but he was standing right in front of her.

"You …" Leng Qiyue walked over to him with slow steps and stretched out her hand to touch his face. It was warm, really, he was still alive. Suddenly, her expression changed. She slapped Yan Su hard, then threw herself into his arms, crying as she cursed, "You bastard, you really made me worry to death. Who told you to do that …"

At first, Yan Su was still a little surprised. He looked at the person in his arms and did not dare to make a move, but following her curses, he slowly lifted his arm and embraced the person in his embrace. His face did not look angry after the beating, but instead, a big smile appeared on it.

Linjiang, who was alarmed by the explosion, became like an angry dragon. With a wave, the gash in the river howled and gushed out. Even though the river water was filled with channels, it still couldn't quell the anger as it rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

Yan Su heard the roar of the water and turned his head to look. The rushing river water was filled with crushed rocks as it rushed towards them, and he immediately hugged Leng Qiyue tightly. A dry land had directly jumped up from the bottom of the ditch, but the river water was too strong.

The two didn't stop until they were far out of the river. The force of the water had expanded the cave's opening by quite a bit. The river water had been diverted away, and they slowly walked into the current.

Yan Su spat out a few mouthfuls of river water. Suddenly, he realized that the person in his arms wasn't moving at all. He looked down and saw that Leng Qiyue had fainted. His face was flushed red.

Wang Ming was scared silly by this dangerous scene. He only recovered his wits when Yan Su ran up to him.

Yan Su said anxiously, "Sir Wang, please send for the doctor. The Empress is having a fever."

Hearing that, Wang Ming quickly shouted to the crowd, "Is there a doctor? Is there a doctor? "Save me …"
