Ruthless Lian Erye in the Red Chamber

Jia Lian rode on the horse and looked sideways at Situ Xu. Situ Xu did not sit in the carriage today, but also rode beside him on horseback.

Seeing Jia Lian's gaze, Situ Xu raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid of death, I still feel safer by the owner's side."

Jia Lian didn't refute after hearing this, Situ Xu saw Jia Lian's appearance, and smiled: "In my lonely heart, the owner's side may be the safest place in the world."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Jia Lian asked, "Your identity has been exposed, and the so-called private visits via Weibo are no longer available. We will arrive in Jingzhou in half a day. What are you going to do then?"

When Situ Xu thought about what happened this time, he didn't feel very happy. He thought about it for a long time alone in the room last night, and when he heard Jia Lian's question, he had a confident expression on his face: "Don't worry, just worry about it. Proceed according to the original plan, you just need to keep the orphan safe."

When Jia Lian heard the words, she understood that Situ Xu had already thought about what to do. After all, Situ Xu was the prince, and Situ Xu should make all decisions.

"Gu's stand-in is following the previous route, so the only person staring at him is the person who most wants to die alone. As for what Gu will see, that person doesn't care, taking Gu's life is the right thing to do." It's something," Situ Xu sneered: "I want to see, who is that person?"

Jia Lian nodded, agreeing with Situ Xu's opinion: "No matter what, I hope these things will end soon."

"Gu also wants to," Situ Xu smiled wryly, "but why does Gu think that Gu's end won't be good?"

Jia Lian looked at Situ Xu again, this time, he looked at Situ Xu carefully, staring at Situ Xu for a while, Situ Xu unconsciously touched his face: "Lonely face Any questions?"

"There are indeed some problems." Jia Lian did not shy away from Situ Xu's words: "Your complexion looks very bad, but your spirit looks very good, which is very strange."

Situ Xu's face froze for a moment, and then he gave a low laugh, and looked at Jia Lian with some warmth in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to care so much about Gu, Jia Lian, you are worthy of being Gu's friend."

"We're not friends." Jia Lian turned her head back, never looking at Situ Xu's face again: "You don't know my secret, and I don't know your secret either. You are not a gentleman, and neither am I."

Situ Xu shook his head and sighed, "Jia Lian, you are still as sincere as ever. Ever since Gu met you, you haven't changed. What was your attitude towards Gu back then is still the same now."

"Because there is no difference in the relationship between you and me, and there will be no difference in attitude."

"Jia Lian, Gu really wants to know when you will meet someone who can make you more human. The way you look now, you don't want to be a flesh and blood person at all, but more like a tall sculpture." Situ Xu couldn't help saying that he couldn't see through Jia Lian. Jia Lian often gave people a very direct impression, but he also felt that he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He had never met such a person in the palace.

"I practice ruthless swordsmanship, I don't need those things."

"But Gu has heard a saying: Dao seems to be ruthless but there is love. Gu has always wanted to ask you, is your so-called ruthless swordsmanship really without love? Family affection? Love? Friendship? None? Then, the love of the world What about it?" Situ Xu looked seriously at Jia Lian's side face, this matter was something he couldn't figure out all the time, even though Jia Lian had been emphasizing the ruthless swordsmanship, what he did was not really so ruthless, At least, he was nice to his daughter.

Jia Lian grabbed the reins abruptly, looked at Situ Xu solemnly, and murmured: "Taoism seems ruthless but it is sentimental?" Suddenly, without knowing what he was thinking, he pulled the rein and clamped the horse's belly, and rode out on the horse.

Seeing Jia Lian's actions, the group of guards immediately pulled out their swords and surrounded Situ Xu. From their point of view, if Jia Lian would behave like this, there must be some enemies around, and they must protect themselves well. master.

But a group of people waited and waited, but they didn't hear any sound at all, and there was no sign of Jia Lian's return. In the extreme tension, everyone gradually panicked. Could it be that the enemy's martial arts are too good to trip the owner of Jia Zhuang Did he stop, or did he just kill Master Jia?

Situ Xu was riding on a horse, looking at the circle of guards surrounding him, his brows frowned even tighter. He also thought of going with those guards. If he really died here, Si Tu Xu unconsciously looked at Looking in the direction of the capital, he smiled wryly in his heart, maybe the person above could feel some guilt towards himself.

After about an hour or so, everyone saw Jia Lian returning slowly on horseback. He was against the light and looked inviolable.

Situ Xu's pupils dilated slightly, watching Jia Lian slowly approaching him, he felt that Jia Lian had changed, became different, if the previous Jia Lian was a sword, an extremely sharp sword, then this one The sword is a peerless sword out of the sheath that everyone can see. Now Jia Lian is also like a sword, but it is a sword in the scabbard. No one knows what the sword is. Long is long or short, sharp or blunt.To sum it up in one sentence, Jia Lian has become unfathomable.

Jia Lian came to sit in front of Situ Xu on horseback, with a calm tone, no longer as cold as before: "Thank you."

Situ Xu opened his mouth slightly, blinked his eyes, and curled his lips a little: "No, in this way, Gu's safety will be more secure."

"Thank you."

Half a day later, Situ Xu and his party arrived at the territory of Jingzhou. Instead of entering the city, they went directly to see the condition of the dams on the Jingzhou side.

Jingzhou is located in the nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yangtze River. It has always been a key area for flood disasters. Therefore, when the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief, it was also a key disaster relief site. The construction of its dams was the top priority of disaster relief.

Situ Xu looked at the dam in front of him and the Yangtze River flowing in front of the dam, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, at least this section of the dam is well built." They had walked along the dam for more than half an hour, looking over along the way , the construction of the dams is not bad, so he is in a good mood at this time: "The current magistrate of Jingzhou is the new Jiang Cuncai. The one in charge is Zheng Qinghe, the previous prefect," Situ Xu said slowly, and introduced to Jia Lian, "This Zheng Qinghe is my man, and with my recommendation, he is now the prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture, Huguang. It seems that this person is really good, and he has done a great job in disaster relief."

Jia Lian stood aside without gnawing. After listening to the guards sent out by Situ Xu and some local people asking about the dam, Situ Xu's face became happier and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Situ Xu turned his head to see Jia Lian looking at the embankment, and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"

"I just want to know what the dam was built with."

"What was built?" Situ Xu was taken aback by Jia Lian's question, then turned his head and asked his subordinates to introduce him.

After Jia Lian heard this, the expression on his face became even more subtle. He picked up the sword but didn't draw it. He just tapped the dike with the scabbard and said, "This dike is not right."

Situ Xu's eyes froze, and his expression became serious: "What do you mean?"

"According to what you said, this embankment should be built of large granite stones collected from a special quarry, and then filled with soil and other materials for reinforcement, but the stones in this section of the embankment will definitely not be hard granite stones. " Jia Lian explained the situation carefully.

After hearing this, Situ Xu's expression became serious. It is still the calm period of the Yangtze River, so there is nothing wrong with the dam. If according to Jia Lian's statement, the stone used to build the dam is not granite, when the flood period comes, the Yangtze River will The water is rising, so the people here...

Situ Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, he turned around and left, his tone was cold: "Let's go meet Jiang Cuncai."

Jiang Cuncai had just become the magistrate of Jingzhou not long ago, and now he heard the prince coming in person, and he was startled. Xu and his group greeted them in.

Jiang Cuncai paid the official ceremony to Situ Xu, and then he looked at Situ Xu with a flattering and apprehensive face: "I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, so I am far away from welcoming him, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make amends."

"No problem," Situ Xu waved his hand, and didn't intend to go around in circles, and asked directly: "Then the matter of building the dam in Jingzhou has been dealt with."

"Naturally," Jiang Cuncai nodded hurriedly, "The post-disaster construction of the embankment is the responsibility of Zheng Qinghe, the governor of the prefecture. I handed it over to Mr. Zheng, and in fact everything was handled by Mr. Zheng."

Situ Xu frowned, remembering that Zheng Qinghe was his own, if there was really a problem with the embankment, Zheng Qinghe would be fully responsible, then he, the person who recommended it...

Situ Xu subconsciously looked at Jia Lian who was sitting on the side. Thinking of his phrase "Sword of the Son of Heaven", he paused in his heart, with a firm look on his brows and eyes: "I want to stay here these days, what do you give me?" Alone arrange a place to stay."

Jiang Cuncai quickly nodded in agreement, and personally sent someone to send Situxu and others to the post house. Originally, Jiang Cuncai wanted to arrange Situxu and the others to stay in his mansion, but because of Situxu's repeated requests, Jiang Cuncai had no choice but to regret that he missed this favor. The opportunity for the prince, but after that, he went to the post house three times a day to pay his respects to the prince.

Jia Lian was quiet along the way. After all, he was not good at official affairs and did not dare to be interested. When he arrived at the post house, he was arranged in Situ Xu's yard, and he entered the house quietly by himself.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he heard someone outside the house. Jia Lian opened his eyes, turned over and got out of bed, because he always slept with his clothes on when he was out, so he didn't need to bother to tidy up at this time. When he opened the door, he saw Situ Xu's face pale. , looking at himself with cold sweat on his face.

"Help me." Situ Xu tried his best to say such a word, and then fell into Jia Lian's arms weakly.

Jia Lian hugged Situ Xu to the bed and lay down, raised his hand to feel his pulse, and after a while, he hesitated to speak: "You..."

"I know, I just hope that I can go back this time." It goes without saying that he will go back to Beijing safely. At this time, Situ Xu's lips are pale and his whole body is extremely weak, but his mind still seems to be Counting Qingming, he seemed to be holding back something, looking at Jia Lian hopefully.

Jia Lian shook his head, looking back at Situ Xu helplessly: "I really didn't expect that you would still take drugs."
