Chapter 497

"Well," Qi Yan responded lightly, hugged the little woman who took the initiative to get into his arms, and then filled in what was left unfinished, "Let's talk about it later."

Shen Wan: "..."

Dare you throw yourself into his arms for free? !

After traveling for days, Shen Wan was really tired. Shen Wan was gently patted on the back by the man, and Shen Wan was coaxed to sleep in a short time.

It was quiet and peaceful here, but it was stormy on the other side of the Lingjiang River.

Huge waves came one after another, and the howling north wind made people's cheeks hurt.

"Sir, you go and have a rest, we are here!"

In his early years when he was suppressing bandits, he injured his knee, which stung unbearably when it was cold. When he rushed to repair the embankment against the sea wind and waves for nearly two days, Zhou Mu's legs could no longer stand straight.

A wave hit him and he almost fell, but fortunately his attendant helped him in time.

"The embankment is almost ready. I'm fine. Let's work harder."

It's not that he doesn't trust his subordinates, it's just that he is the only one here who is proficient in water conservancy, and repairing the dam is of great importance. If he can't take command, Zhou Mu will really not rest assured.

Not to mention the cold attack on his legs, just having not slept for nearly two days, his physical strength has long been exhausted.

No one is made of iron, and what supports Zhou Mu is nothing more than the wealth and lives of countless people in the entire Jiangnan area.

Having been with him for many years, Ding Er is familiar with his master's character. As long as he is still breathing, he will do everything as personally as possible.

Unable to persuade him, he could only turn to his brothers and ask them to work harder.

Only by completing it as soon as possible can they, the adults, rest peacefully.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off. After nearly two days of hard work, the dam has been almost repaired, with only the last layer of reinforcement left.

Calculating the time, it can be completely completed before the next high tide.

However, just as everyone was working hard to make the final touches, a horn sound suddenly came from the wind.

Dots of light on the lighthouse shine through the fog, and as the ship approaches, the light of the flame becomes clearer and clearer.

"Oops, it's a pirate, sir, what should we do now?"

The tide was about to rise, and the waves on the sea were very strong. It would take some time for the pirate ship to arrive.

And their project has reached the final stage. If they speed up a little, they hope to complete the repairs before the pirates come over.

But after two days of rushing to repair the embankment, they were already exhausted, and their craftsmen basically didn't understand martial arts.

If the pirates attack, they will be unable to resist.

As Zhou Mu was the leader who led the troops to suppress the bandits, the pirates must have hated him deeply. When the pirates attacked, there would be only death.

At the last moment, he can choose to escape with his men.

But if that is the case, it means that 90.00% of their previous repair work will fall short.

When the high tide surges, the unreinforced dam will burst again, and countless people in the city will be displaced.

Between the safety of the people in the city and his own safety, Zhou Mu decisively chose the former.

"Don't be distracted, continue. If there is still time to complete the reinforcement, you can run away and leave me alone."

As the distance got closer and closer, as far as the eye could see, it was clear that the pirate was driving a small boat.

The pirates had been encircled and suppressed before and suffered heavy losses. Now they are still recovering and unable to carry out large-scale invasion.

I think it was because he discovered that he was leading people to repair the embankment and came to take revenge.

The main target of these people must be him. As long as they catch him, they will not take the risk of pursuing others.

If they can seize the last chance and run to the river bank, they will be safe.

It is true that Zhou Mu made arrangements for everyone, but he left no escape route for himself.

The reinforcement of the dike was completed, and the pirate ships were swept in with the overwhelming waves.

"grown ups!"

"Leave me alone and go."

Amid the muffled thunder, a bolt of lightning suddenly split open the shrouded dark clouds, lighting up half of the night sky.

The incoming heavy rain made the huge waves roar more violently.

The boundless black waves swallowed up the figure on the independent riverside, and also swallowed up the last darkness before dawn.

After the rain, the sky clears up, and when the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the earth, everything returns to calm.

Jiang Cong was worried when he saw that the person had not returned yet, so he took people to look for him all night, but only found a bloody corpse by the river.

His face was completely disfigured, his body was swollen from the river water, and he no longer looked human.

Only the jade pendant he always carries can prove his identity.
