I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Everyone looked at Qu Ying quietly, waiting for her to accept it and recover. After a moment of silence, Qu Ying looked at Jiang Yuan with a puzzled look on her face, "But why can't I remember how I killed him?"

Sure enough, her way of thinking is really different from that of ordinary girls.

Xie Yunxiao also remembered and turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan, "Yes, what trick did she use? I haven't seen it before?"

"Bagua Palm, but your palm strike is still not strong enough. Besides, how can the knife slip out of your hand? You have shocked me for five hundred years."

Qu Ying also remembered it, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't expect it, I was planning to catch the knife, but I didn't expect it to slip out of my hand, hehe.

But, did I strike? Where did I strike? Why do I remember the assassin swinging his knife at me?

Chang Ying pondered and said, "I seemed to hear the girl yell something like 'swallow'?"

After being reminded, Qu Ying remembered, "Yes, yes, it was completely a physical reaction. I don't even know what happened."

"What is Baguazhang?" Only Xie Yunxiao still cared about this, it sounded very impressive.

No one paid any attention to him. Jiang Yuan tapped his fingers on the table. "You need to improve. Your strength is not enough. After your hand injury heals, practice more."

In the evening, Sun Weichang brought his men back, first went to the yamen, and then returned to Jiang's house.

After resting for two days in Sun's Mansion, the aftermath work here was handed over to Chief Guard Sun and the prefect. Jiang Huai also wrote a letter and sent it back to Beijing urgently.

The group packed up and set off again.

They lost some soldiers, some of whom were seriously injured and stayed in Sun's mansion to recuperate. Chief Guard Sun arranged a team of people to escort them to their destination.

The journey went smoothly in the next few days and there was no danger. When we arrived in Huaiping County, the prefect who had received the news early was waiting at the city gate to greet us.

Everyone was riding on horses. Xie Yunxiao came to Jiang Huai and said to the carriages and horses at the city gate in front, "That's Mr. Xu, the governor of Huaiping County."

When they got to the place, they got off the carriage and horse. Lord Xu came to greet them with a smile on his face and said, "My lords, you must be tired from the journey. I have already prepared a place for you to stay. Please forgive me for not entertaining you well."

Jiang Huai and his companions also returned the greeting and exchanged a few polite words at the city gate. Lord Xu then got on the carriage and took them into the city.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying also sat in the carriage. Qu Ying whispered, "This Lord Xu is well-informed and has been waiting for us here for a long time."

"We are now stepping into a dangerous place. We don't know how deep the water is. I'm afraid there is no one we can trust."

Qu Ying took out a map, pointed at the Heihe River and said, "The source of the Heihe River is on the high mountains west of Huaiping County. From here, all the way down, there are Huaiping, Lushan, Zhuo'an and finally Luo'an.

The three counties after Huaiping were the worst hit by the flood. Although Huaiping is upstream, it will still be affected.

The situation in Luoan is not bad, the water is basically much smaller when it reaches there.

The places where disaster victims are most likely to riot are Lushan and Zhuo'an."

Jiang Yuan had also heard these words from his brother. Jiang Huai also took a map like this and wrote and drew on it. He consulted ancient books and learned about every river in detail from local chronicles and records over the years.

Qu Yingneng had done her homework in advance, which made Jiang Yuan look at her with new eyes. After all, a few months ago, she was still a noble lady from the capital whose mind was full of romance, eating, drinking and having fun.

The house that Lord Xu arranged for them was in the quieter west of the city, surrounded by wealthy families and with a very good environment.

Servants were already cleaning the house. Lord Xu walked around and introduced that this was originally the house of a businessman from Huaiping, but later his family moved away and the house became empty.

Now they have temporarily rented this house from the business company as a workplace and residence for Jiang Huai and his colleagues.

As he spoke, Lord Xu looked back at Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying, "Especially since there are two young ladies, a bigger house will be more convenient for living. The environment here is also good, and the two young ladies can stroll around the garden."

Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying did not respond, but smiled at Lord Xu at the same time.

"Lord Xu, you are too polite. We have been assigned an assignment and can live anywhere." Jiang Huai said politely.

Lord Xu interrupted him, "Well, you have to live comfortably when you're on duty. The south is humid, and the rainy season is coming soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it, so the environment must be better.

This place is not far from the county government office, only three blocks away, and the main street is also convenient. If you need anything, just let me know. "

Jiang Yuan didn't like socializing in the officialdom, so he called a maid and led them to the courtyard where they lived.

After leaving the main group, Qu Ying asked, "A Yuan, what do you think of this Lord Xu?"

"That's pretty impressive. They knew the date of our arrival in advance and were able to prepare such a nice house in advance. They even cleaned it and prepared all the servants."

"So, you mean, this Lord Xu..."

Jiang Yuan sighed, "I don't know, maybe he really is well-informed."

After traveling all the way, I was really tired, so I took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until the next morning.

Lu Zhu looked at Jiang Yuan who opened the door while yawning and said with a smile, "The girl is awake now. If she wasn't awake, we would have asked a doctor to come and see her."

"Where is my brother? Where is Qu Ying?" Jiang Yuan asked with narrowed eyes.

Chunzhi also came over, holding breakfast in her hand, "Miss Ying hasn't woken up yet. After taking a shower yesterday, she came to look for you, but saw that you were asleep. Miss Ying also said that you should come to her when you wake up.

I didn't expect that the girl could sleep so well. Let's have breakfast."

Looking at the familiar breakfast on the table, Chunzhi said, "I'm afraid the girl can't get used to the food here. When we had dinner last night, all the dishes and buns were sweet.

So I will make breakfast for you. You should get used to the taste slowly, young lady."

Jiang Yuan chuckled and ate the breakfast made by Chunzhi.

"Where's Big Brother?"

"I just went to deliver breakfast to the eldest master. He said that after breakfast, he would go to the source of the Black River to have a look. Let the girl have a good rest."

What a workaholic! I didn’t expect that he is also the king of rolls.

Qu Ying didn't get up until almost noon, and pulled Jiang Yuan to go out for a meal to try the local restaurants. As a result, both of them felt unspeakably uncomfortable after eating.

Apart from the sweet and sour carp, which Jiang Yuan likes, he really can't accept sweet steamed buns and dumplings with sugar fillings.

After lunch, Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying took a horse carriage and wanted to go upstream along the Heihe River. They passed the most prosperous town and then went through one village after another.

After walking for more than an hour, we met the returning team.
