The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

The night is getting darker, and the wind can't iron out the cumulus clouds.The showers were still falling, and the flowers and leaves were beaten to the ground, drinking the cold.

The curtains blocked all the hustle and bustle outside, and the charming atmosphere gradually eased as the sound stopped.After the dripping grind, sleepiness and weakness struck, and Ji Muqing fell asleep.

Xiao Beichen, who still had enough energy, lay on the side with his head supported, staring straight at the bright red hickey on his neck.The time was quiet, he looked at it, and couldn't help but get closer and suck out a place.

Ji Muqing, whose dream was disturbed, frowned, and murmured coquettishly, "No more." While humming, Ji Muqing stretched out his hand and pushed the person beside him.

Xiao Beichen raised a smile, and touched Ji Muqing's straight nose with his fingertips, but it caught his heartstrings.

At that time, there was muffled thunder outside the window, he raised his eyelids to see, and happened to see a thunderbolt across the sky through the screen window.The rain didn't mean to get smaller at all.

After noticing that the sky was different, Xiao Beichen quietly got out of the room.He called Mo Yu and ordered: "Go to the Xu Mansion and tell Master Xu to send craftsmen to watch the river bank and report every hour."

"Yes." Mo Yu was on duty in the middle of the night and had been paying attention to this day.He asked in a solemn voice: "Master, are you worried that the bank of the river will burst?"

Xiao Beichen nodded: "If the rain is still falling at dawn, there will be water accumulation in the city, and it will make things worse if the embankment breaks. The river bank has only been repaired partly, and I don't know if it can survive tonight." He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered Ji Muqing's words about the heavy rain. Prophecy, and then arranged: "Also, take my warrant and send flying cavalry to the downstream dam, and order the people stationed to watch the water level tonight and prepare to release the flood at all times."

"Yes, this subordinate is going now." Mo Yu saluted, and persuaded in a deep voice when he left: "It's cold in the night, master, go back to the house, if there is any news, the subordinate will definitely report it."

Xiao Beichen just put on a coat casually and came out, the freezing rain fell straight down, and the cold wind also blew.He gave a soft "hmm" and thought deeply all the way back to the house.

This short time of going out and in was still tainted with a bit of cold air, Xiao Beichen drank a cup of hot tea before sitting back in the tent, and continued to look at the sleeping faces of the people in the couch.

Ji Muqing would still unconsciously look for someone when he was asleep, and he moved a few steps to the side of the bed after only a while.

"I'm here, don't run away." Xiao Beichen clasped Ji Muqing's hand with a light smile, and slowly lifted off the quilt after his body warmed up.As soon as he lay down on his side, Ji Muqing rolled over, rubbed his head in his arms for a few times, and then stopped moving.

"I slept peacefully." Xiao Beichen sighed.The heavy rain was pouring, bringing uneasy sounds.He stroked the back of the person in his arms, and slowly fell asleep with his heart slightly raised.

……

When dawn broke, the clouds completely covered the morning light, making it impossible to distinguish day from night.The door was knocked lightly, Xiao Beichen quickly opened his eyes and got up cautiously.

Seeing the person finally came out, Mo Yu rushed forward and said, "Master, the East Street is flooded." He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The East Street is downstream, and the terrain is still low. It is an old street. It rained a few days ago A lot of water has accumulated, and now most of the houses are submerged in water."

Xiao Beichen squeezed his sleeves tightly, and asked solemnly, "Where's Jiang An?"

"The water rises fast, and if the embankment bursts, the water will flow in."

"Send flying cavalry to the upstream dam to control the speed of the water flow." Xiao Beichen exhaled softly, and said, "Tell the workers to step up and strengthen the river embankment."

Mo Yu nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, someone rushed from the courtyard to report urgently: "Master! The East Street has broken its embankment." Worse things still came.

"Bring me the street map."

There was the sound of the door opening behind him, Xiao Beichen turned around, and saw that Ji Muqing was already awake, he just pulled his collar and walked out.Xiao Beichen hurriedly walked over to protect others from the wind, frowned and said, "Come out after you've dressed."

Ji Muqing laughed and nodded happily.After roughly looking at the street map of Linzhou City, he called out loudly: "Duan Yan, gather all the people, let's go to East Street."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Beichen followed him into the room to change clothes, "Just ask your subordinates to go."

"The specific situation is not yet known. It will be easier for me to go together. Your Highness, it's here..." Ji Muqing only spoke halfway, when Xiao Beichen hugged him from behind and held his hand, knowing that Xiao Beichen didn't want to stay behind.He immediately changed his route: "So, how about you go to West Street, West Street can't suffer anymore."

Xiao Beichen's eyes were deep, and he didn't continue to dissuade him. He agreed in a deep voice: "Okay, you should be careful."

***

When Ji Muqing led his people to the East Street, the water level was already above his knees, and the water was full of mud.At the breach of the embankment, the river gushes out like a thousand troops, and it is very difficult to get close to it.

The general judge of Linzhou was standing not far away, and when he saw Ji Muqing arrived, he hurriedly walked forward across the water, and reported the situation: "General Ji, your men are already filling up the breach, but this area has a large drop in terrain, and there is still a gap on the other side of the water." There are many old and weak women and children trapped."

After hearing this, Ji Muqing made a decisive decision: "Duan Yan, find a boat and get a rope, let's go rescue people."

Seeing him quickly take off his cumbersome coat, Duan Yan hurriedly said: "Master, why should you go by yourself, leave it to your subordinates and Yawei."

"Maybe I have to swim to save people. Most of the yamen guards in the south of the Yangtze River have thin arms and legs. Don't be washed away by the flood before they are rescued. Our brothers are all tendons, and one more is one."

The heavy rain poured down from the head, forming a curtain of water through the eyelashes.Ji Muqing wiped his face, turned to Tong San, and said, "Master Tong San, order a few more sturdy ones to follow this general."

"Okay." Tong Juan was very surprised that he went to the battle in person, but he quickly ordered some people to come out, "You guys go with General Ji."

the other side--

"Master, there is a field on the bank of the river, how about diverting it here?" Mo Yu pointed to a place on the map and showed it to Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Seeing Xu Heng coming from the corner of his eye, he asked, "What's your opinion, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Heng hastily wrung out his half-wet official uniform, rushed over to take a look, then waved his hands and said, "No, this is a good land where seedlings have just been planted."

Mo Yu lowered his face and asked, "Can Miao survive under such heavy rain?" He snorted, and said, "Since Mr. Xu disagrees, then you can come up with a good idea."

"This...in short, it won't work, not only because this year's grain is gone. If the water is flooded, there will be no seedlings for many years." Xu Heng kept shaking his head.

Xiao Beichen didn't listen to his words, and after pondering for a moment, he waved his sleeves and said, "Mo Yu, send someone to do it. This family has been exempted from taxes for ten years."

Xu Heng was startled, why did he ask his opinion? "Your Highness, it can't be done..." He was about to cry, but was stopped by Song Zhengxiu who heard the news: "Master Xu, don't stop, if you don't divert people, you will lose more than just a field."

Xu Heng also knew this, but that piece of land was indeed a fertile field that many people depended on for food.He grabbed Song Zhengxiu's arm, weeping: "You said that I have only served as the governor for a few months, so why have these things happened to me?"

"It rains for months at the beginning of spring in Linzhou every year, but this year there is a lot of rain." Song Zhengxiu said helplessly, and then turned his head to look for Xiao Beichen, but there was no one there.The corner of his mouth pulled down: "Where is His Royal Highness?"

"Master, put on this oil coat." Seeing Xiao Beichen coming out of the temporary shelter, the guards quickly handed over the rain gear they had just bought.

"I don't need it, just walk slowly with the umbrella in hand, and you send it to General Ji." Even though he said this, Xiao Beichen still walked as fast as he could, because he had a vague premonition.

When he rushed to the main road of Dongjie, he saw that many people had gathered there.In addition, a few boulders were lifted by the water, and hemp ropes were tied to the stones to be pulled to the opposite side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince!" Seeing Xiao Beichen bringing a group of people, Tong Juan hurriedly saluted.

Xiao Beichen nodded slightly and simply returned the salute before looking around to find someone.He hadn't seen Ji Muqing's shadow in the crowd for a long time, so he asked solemnly, "Where's General Ji?"

Tong San thought about it for a moment, then said truthfully: "Go to the opposite side to save someone."

Xiao Beichen's voice was a little trembling: "You guys..." At that moment, there was a sudden sound of the rope cracking beside him, and he stretched out his hand to grab it without thinking about it.

"Master!" "Your Highness!" Shouts came one after another, and the guards jumped on the hemp rope that suddenly jumped away.Immediately afterwards, Xiao Beichen's palms were filled with bright red, and traces of blood dripped into the muddy water, blooming.

He missed it, but was still hurt.

The accompanying guards quickly sent a message: "Imperial doctor!" Linzhou Tongjuan and other officials knelt on the ground.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Beichen sneered, shook his head and said, "No problem, let's go back."

……

"One, two, jump!"

"Awesome." Ji Muqing steadily caught the last child who jumped down from the eaves.After stuffing people into the cabin, he waved to Duan Yan, "We've brought all the people with us, let's go back."

Duan Yan lightly pulled the rope three times as a signal.Soon after, the people on the shore began to slowly pull the hemp rope.

"Is the rain much less?" Ji Muqing wiped his face again, looking at the mountains covered by rain and fog in the sky.Before anyone could answer, he ordered: "I'm covered in mud, I'll sneak back and change my clothes before I come back, and His Highness the Crown Prince must not find out."

Duan Yan was paddling with the penny to control the direction. Hearing this, he asked: "Since the master is worried about being discovered by His Highness, why did he save the person himself in the first place?"

"Because I'm ashamed." Ji Muqing lowered her eyelids and tightened her lips.

"Ah?" Duan Yan became more and more puzzled, but before he could ask, his attention was taken away by a row of people kneeling on the shore.He was dazed for a while, then rushed to the shore, waved his hands, and shouted, "What are you talking about?"

Several ships had already returned one step ahead, and after hearing the previous news, Ji Muqing's men kept waving at the shore to report.

Ji Muqing also stood up slowly following the sound, and asked, "What?"

Everyone on the bank said in unison: "Your Highness was scratched by the rope!"

……

"The hole is not shallow, Your Highness must not get wet." After the imperial doctor carefully bandaged it, he listed the taboos for using the medicine, and then saluted and prepared to leave.

With a calm expression, Xiao Beichen sat at the desk and nodded, "I'm sorry, the imperial doctor." Afterwards, he watched the people leave, just in time to see Ji Muqing rushing towards him covered in mud outside the room.

"Let me see, why is your hand hurt?" Ji Muqing rushed over after hearing the news, without changing clothes first.He stepped into the room and pulled Xiao Beichen's right hand wrapped in white cloth to look. "Why is it so serious?" He frowned slightly, distressed.

Xiao Beichen looked at him lightly, opened his thin lips lightly, and asked, "Mu Qing, where have you been?"

Ji Muqing's heart trembled, and he squatted down and looked up at him with a reluctant smile, "You have come to look for me, and you still don't know where I am going?"

"Did you consider me when you rushed up?" Xiao Beichen's mouth curled up without a smile, and his tone couldn't make any waves.After looking at each other for a while, he asked softly again:

"Why did you come to Jiangnan?"

The author has something to say: It is impossible to say that the prophecy Ji does not reveal any flaws.

Don't worry, don't abuse.
