Douluo—Chapter 71: Bibi Dong's Actions, Qian Renxue's Amazement
Heaven Dou City.
On the city wall, the wind was blowing gently, causing the flags of the Heaven Dou Empire to flutter.
A handsome young man in a silver-gold robe, standing upright, walked along the top of the city wall.
Behind him, a red-haired guard in armor, exuding a murderous aura, followed. His stern expression was completely different from the young man's gentle demeanor.
He watched as the young man paused slightly every time he passed a soldier, with a concerned look, and asked about their recent situation in a low voice.
Her eyes were full of confusion.
Until they reached the gatehouse of the south gate, where no soldiers were around, the guard finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Young Master, you are of noble status. Why do you treat these soldiers of humble origins with such kindness?"
Qian Renxue was slightly startled by the Porcupinefish Douluo's question. "Why?"
Her gaze gradually blurred as if she was seeing the distant Wu'an City through the city wall in front of her.
"It's over," she whispered.
The Porcupinefish Douluo looked at her expression and immediately understood. He sighed helplessly. As soon as he saw that look, he knew the young master was thinking about the battle in Wu'an City again.
Sure enough...
After a moment, Qian Renxue slowly regained her composure. "Because my spy in Wu'an City told me that Dai Chengfeng did exactly that."
A trace of admiration flickered in her eyes.
"He cared deeply for the soldiers of Wu'an City. Even after he left, Zhu Yan still followed the rules he set and gave the soldiers the best treatment."
"Now, the soldiers of Wu'an City are eager to train. Everyone is proud to join Dai Chengfeng's guards—the 'First-line Death Soldier Camp.' They are even willing to go through fire and water for him."
Such an army, such combat effectiveness...
As she spoke, Qian Renxue clenched her fists subconsciously.
Porcupinefish Douluo shook his head slightly, worry evident in his eyes, and said softly, "Your Highness, that battle has been over for more than a year—almost two years. Can't you let it go?"
"Let it go?"
Qian Renxue sneered. "I, Qian Renxue, have only suffered losses at the hands of two people in my life—this is my shame."
"Especially Dai Chengfeng. He dared to tease me..."
She slammed her fist against the battlement. "I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"
De De De...
Porcupinefish Douluo watched his young master's hypocritical display with helplessness and amusement. Eating his flesh and drinking his blood?
'When I heard he was going to be beheaded, who was so excited to say he couldn't die?'
However, at this moment, Porcupinefish Porpoise Douluo seemed to recall something, and his expression grew serious. "Oh, by the way, young master, the Great Priest asked me to tell you that His Holiness the Pope has made new moves."
"And this matter seems to be related to His Highness Dai Chengfeng."
"The Pope..."
A complicated light flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and pretended to be curious. "How could that woman's move be connected to Dai Chengfeng?"
Porcupinefish Porpoise Douluo explained, "According to the Great Priest, she has made contact with a high-ranking official in the Star Luo Empire..."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise. "The high-level officials in the Star Luo Empire have always been united. How could she possibly get in touch with them?"
Porcupinefish Porpoise Douluo nodded. "It's more like limited cooperation than a true connection. The other party seems to support the eldest prince, Dai Weisi. As for the details, the Chief Priest isn't very clear."
Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully. The image of Dai Chengfeng, who was sentenced to death and reportedly still hadn't been released from prison, appeared in her mind. The battle for the throne of the Star Luo Empire is indeed cruel.
The Porcupinefish Porpoise Douluo continued, "Your Holiness the Pope unexpectedly learned from that high-ranking official in the Star Luo Empire that Dai Chengfeng has built a Capital River Weir Irrigation Project in the river area near Wu'an City."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, confusion clouding her eyes. "Capital River Weir Irrigation Project? That water conservancy project?"
"Dai Chengfeng knows about this?"
Porcupinefish Douluo nodded. "It seems he knows more than just that. I heard that when the Star Luo Emperor received the drawings and plans, he was so excited that he discussed the feasibility of the project with officials of the Star Luo Empire water conservancy department for three consecutive days—without sleeping."
"Even when he was sleeping, he held the blueprint in his arms."
"All the water conservancy officials in the Star Luo Empire were amazed after seeing the blueprint—they called it a genius idea."
"Even Her Holiness the Pope, if she has seen it, must think..."
Porcupinefish Douluo paused, his expression turning solemn. "If this Capital River Weir Irrigation Project is built, it could have a lasting impact on the Star Luo Empire, which has more mountains and fewer plains than the Heaven Dou Empire."
"She will never allow this to happen and is ready to intervene to disrupt the plan."
Qian Renxue half believed, half doubted, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really that powerful? Is it worth her intervention?"
In the Douluo Continent, martial arts are highly respected. Although water conservancy projects are vital for a nation, how many soul masters truly understand water management?
"Does Dai Chengfeng have the ability to design a water conservancy layout that could change the fate of the Star Luo Empire for thousands of years?"
Seeing her skepticism, Porcupinefish Douluo took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her with both hands. "Young Master, I can't explain it clearly. You should take a look yourself."
"The drawings are inside. I don't fully understand them, but if the project is built successfully according to these plans..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of admiration crossing his face. "It would be a great contribution to future generations."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue took the letter, curiosity shining in her eyes. "Let me see—what kind of design could make you praise it so highly?"
She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside.
After a few glances, her expression turned increasingly focused and solemn.
"The river water can be automatically diverted; sand can be discharged; water flow can be controlled; floods can be eliminated..."
"If this is successfully built, it could create a 'land of abundance' stretching for thousands of miles—a truly genius idea across the ages."
Qian Renxue pursed her lips, admiration shining in her eyes, but soon, her expression darkened with unwillingness.
"It's impressive that the Dai family excels at military strategy, but water conservancy..."
"Damn it, bastard!!!"
Suddenly, her eyes sharpened as she looked down at the bottom of the city wall in surprise. "That white carriage... I think I saw it two months ago. There seems to be someone in it—very similar..."
At this moment, Porcupinefish Douluo spoke again.
"Oh, Master, I have another piece of news. It's not very important, but it concerns Dai Mubai..."
"I don't know if you're interested."
