Chapter 22: Sun Guoshi's Plan
"Pray for blessings." Nian Songyu said unhappily, "Don't you have this common sense?"
The rain poured on him, and He Lingchuan felt refreshed, as if his body was washed clean from the inside out. Not only was the filth gone, but every muscle was filled with strength.
The soldiers also shouted with joy.
Blackwater City has been through wind and sand, and many residents have damaged their trachea, heart and lungs. The rain has actually healed them by 60% or 70%, and their breathing has become smooth again; for example, old cold legs and muscle and bone strain have also quietly recovered under the washing of the spiritual rain, and the heaviness has been gone.
The eyes of everyone looking at Sun Fuping were suddenly full of awe.
The national teacher is too far away from ordinary people, as if floating in the clouds, and there is no direct feeling. It was not until he showed this skill that soldiers and civilians knelt on the spot, as if worshiping a god.
Taking this opportunity, Sun Fuping made a few clear declarations to boost the team's momentum.
This is the effect he wanted.
Nian Songyu glanced at He Lingchuan and said, "Now, the ceremony has just begun." This also opened the eyes of these country bumpkins.
After the sudden rain, the clouds were light and the wind was clear. Everyone's clothes were soaked through, and the trouser legs were still dripping with water. The ground was wet and muddy.
Sun Fuping raised his long stick again and knocked on the ground, and a strange scene happened:
The residual water on the people's bodies was separated from the clothes and flowed to the ground;
Then, the accumulated water under each soldier's feet suddenly flowed, winding like a snake, and swam towards the altar.
On the stage was a large glazed vat, with a diameter of about two people hugging, crystal clear, and the line of sight could penetrate through it without any obstruction.
The water on the ground seemed to have life, moving upward against the rules of gravity, and lining up to flow into the large vat.
Soon, the water in the glazed vat was filled with water, almost flush with the mouth of the vat.
The ground outside the gate of Heishui City was trampled by thousands of people, and there was usually wind and sand that could not be avoided. No one could tell how dirty it was. But the water flowing into the jar from here is as clear as if it has been distilled and purified, without a trace of impurities.
It is difficult to collect what has been spilled! He Lingchuan secretly gave a thumbs up. Regardless of what kind of person Sun Fuping is, this magic skill is enough to show his profoundness.
A dignified national teacher, he is indeed talented.
"Everyone who followed me to the expedition, your luck is more or less here." Sun Fuping turned to Zeng Feixiong and stretched out his hand, "Give me the kite money."
The forms of the Sheji Order of each country are different. The Sheji Order issued by the Yuan State to officials at all levels is the kite money.
Zeng Feixiong has prepared it, so he took it out and handed it over.
His kite money is also in the shape of a large copper coin, but the kite bird on it is only light blue.
The weight and color of the Sheji Order are affected by many conditions, not just official position and power. However, judging from Zeng Feixiong's kite money, he is just an ordinary deputy lieutenant.
Sun Fuping frowned: "It seems to be insufficient." After saying that, he threw the kite money into the crystal jar.
Interestingly, the kite money did not sink to the bottom, but floated steadily in the middle of the large tank. Instead, the water surface in the tank was no longer calm, and ripples appeared.
Under the scouring of the water, Zeng Feixiong's kite money became darker, between dark blue and light green.
"Even if we rely on the morale of the whole team, it's still a stretch." Sun Fuping took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened the bag to show He Chunhua and others, and then folded the bag and threw it into the water tank.
There was half a bag of yellow sand in it, which would automatically wriggle without anyone touching it.
He Yue whispered, "Is that the mad sand from the Panlong Desert?"
He Chunhua nodded, staring at the water tank intently.
When the Panlong Desert erupted, no one dared to enter the core area, and this period of time was called the mad sand season. The half bag of mad sand that the He family paid a lot of money for was taken from Hongya Road during the extraordinary period.
Of course, it was not the core area.
However, as soon as the sandbag entered, the whole tank of water boiled, and countless bubbles floated up.
He Lingchuan seemed to have seen lightning and thunder.
Afterwards, the water became turbid, but a large mass of steam floated to the surface, half of which was dark blue, and the other half was dim yellow with a hint of dark red.
The two colors of steam mixed together, and the amazing thing was that everyone actually felt that they were fighting endlessly.
To be precise, after two rounds, the dark yellow gas had the upper hand, almost pressing its opponent on the water surface.
It was obvious at a glance that the level of the two sides was too different.
Sun Fuping's face was solemn: "No, the position is too low, and the Yuan power is too weak! Who else?"
He Chunhua said in a hoarse voice: "Really not possible?"
"There is no way to compete!" Sun Fuping said angrily, "What does the county governor think?"
Entering the Panlong Desert in the wild sand season is a life-and-death struggle. No official or general who still has a chance to survive is willing to take this risk.
Besides, there were no other officials on the scene, and the highest rank was only——
He Lingchuan glanced at Nian Songyu: "He can't go up?"
As soon as he said it, he regretted it. After all, he was too unfamiliar with this world.
Nian Songyu sneered and laughed, looking at him as if he was a fool.
He Yue whispered: "This army belongs to Heishui City, not under the jurisdiction of Captain Nian. If he wants to exert the team's luck, he must be transferred here to serve, or return to being a commoner and accept the appointment and dismissal of He County Governor, but that requires a royal decree."
How can a military officer from Xunzhou lead the troops of Jinzhou?
——Under normal circumstances.
Sun Fuping approached He Chunhua and others and whispered: "Going in like this is just to die. Either cancel the operation, or a high-ranking official from Heishui City will come forward."
High-ranking official from Heishui City? That would only be He Chunhua.
Life or future?
He Chunhua's face changed, knowing that he had been tricked.
But including Zeng Feixiong, all his men were waiting eagerly.
He knew he couldn't wait, so he had to take out the kite coin from his arms: "Try it first."
He Yue was anxious: "Father!"
How did the situation suddenly change to this?
He Lingchuan even pressed his father's hand, and the kite coin was sandwiched between the two palms. "Dad, don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to sacrifice your life for the country!"
He Chunhua slapped his palm away: "Be patient."
Nian Songyu on the side gave a thumbs up and praised: "Lord He is loyal!"
The He brothers glared at him. This kid is so anxious to force the issue?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, He Chunhua took a deep breath, then walked to the edge of the crystal tank and threw his own kite coin in with his own hands!
His kite coin was light green, more than one level higher than Zeng Feixiong.
When the kite coin entered the tank, the water surface surged more violently, and a large cloud of mist rose up, which was actually yellow this time!
Different from the color of the mad sand, this steam is yellow with a little brightness.
Not only did everyone pay attention, but Sun Fuping also let out a long "Huh", unable to hide his surprise: "Four levels in a row?"
Even with the morale boost of the entire army, the leap from light green to bright yellow was still amazing, although it was only temporary.
He Chunhua laughed at himself: "It seems that I am quite popular."
He asked Sun Fuping: "If I were to lead the army this time, how sure would I be able to come back?"
