Chapter 289 Immersed and determined
Pinan Zeng Village was particularly seriously hit by the flood due to the closeness of the Ding River. The rice fields and wheat fields were destroyed, and most of the houses in the village were destroyed by the flood. What's more, it was too late to evacuate the people who died in the flood. Most of them were farmers in the village.
However, at this time, the flood has receded, the mud has been cleared, and the restoration of the home is being carried out intensively. Although a large area of barren mud fields still shows the aftermath of the disaster, the tragic scene of a vast ocean and broken walls at that time no longer exists.
The people involved in the construction and repair of houses include county officials, and more of them are the residents of the village. They compete with the labor of other villages spontaneously or summoned by government officials to rebuild their homes and provide shelters for the disaster victims before the arrival of winter.
Looking around, it was full of hemp cloth, sweating like rain to carry soil and tiles, and the sound of cutting wood was mixed with the sound of laborers shouting and encouragement, and it was hot.
In the labor of a group of craftsmen, there are naturally people who are familiar with each other, but there are also strange faces.
At this time of the afternoon, a group of middle-aged men dressed in coarse brown and with straight waists sat around a place to "reep" and were not noticeable at all.
No one will have doubts because they are strangers.
No one noticed their gloomy eyes, and from time to time, they swept to the young people in brocade standing on the dam not far away.
No one will hear their deliberate low comments at all.
"We don't have much opportunity left. If we wait for the third prince to return with the eldest princess, it will be more difficult to act."
"In Bingzhou City, I have to worry about those patrol guards and princes traveling. They are already well guarded, and there are not many opportunities to do it."
"If the third prince hadn't suddenly fallen off his horse that day, he would not have been able to hit it in one shot..." One of the thick-browed eagle eyes, the man with deep facial features was quite regretful.
"Your Highness has told us not to involve the Duke of Wei if it is not a last resort."
"But today the little lady actually walked with the third prince again!" A white-faced man with a pure beard was very anxious and faced those with deep facial features: "Brother, miss today and wait to go back to Bingzhou City. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another opportunity."
Obviously, the Hawkeye man is the leader of these dead men.
When the prince and princess drove back to Beijing, they were not only escorted by the soldiers of the prince's mansion, but also the guards of the prince's mansion. It was not easy to succeed. Of course, they still had to seize the good opportunity for the three princes to walk in light clothes and simple travel, with only more than a dozen unprepared soldiers.
The eagle-eyed man made up his mind for a moment: "Keep an eye on them, and the waiter will do it without hurting the little woman."
On the dike far away, the "two" noble teenagers did not notice the imminent danger, at least the beautiful scenery, and her mind was not all on it. She had already thrown the third prince's almost assassination and thrown it out of the nine night.
Today, I visited Pinan with the eldest princess, which was the last day before returning to Beijing.
She has long been impatient with those who came to the disaster area with the eldest princess and the nobles who "beware of the people's feelings" stayed in the county government to talk nonsense and anxious, which made it difficult for her to keep calm and socialize with others and talk nonsense. Only then did she tell her grandmother and go to the river embankment for a walk.
She wanted to take a look at the last time. Where the son of the world had tried his best, he may have also stopped at the place where she stopped at this time and supervised the flood and clearing the dredging. However, at that time, it should still be a desolate scene of breaking the wall and desolate. If there was no sudden incident in Xiangzhou, he should have been side by side with her at this time. Looking at the end of a disaster and the reconstruction of people's homes here, I don't know if the anger and heaviness in my heart will be reduced.
But at the present, I can't relax.
Only then did he really feel his so-called responsibility.
If the left and right phases are allowed to continue to control the government and form a party for personal gain, so that officials only know how to welcome and form gangs, in order to seek power and wealth and regardless of people's livelihood, those who are trapped in a desperate situation will never be only the people in the state.
Who doesn't want to be safe and happy and have a smooth life? However, these people were trampled as grass mustard ants by the powerful and nobles. She had not witnessed the tragedy of the flood, let alone heard the people who had lost their loved ones and their homes destroyed cried and were desperate. They just stood here and felt heavy. What's more, he learned that the beach was occupied and the state on the same day. How angry should the officials be when they hide the epidemic?
Shide is not accidental or individual.
Even if the metal phase is eradicated, it is still far from the "rule of peace".
The reform of the official system is imperative.
But how difficult should this process be?
Therefore, knowing that his safety is difficult, he also insists on going to danger.
And what she wants to do is not to stay with tears, let alone waiting sadly and negatively. Although she helps, she should do her best to help his plan go smoothly and return safely for him.
Only then can I be qualified to stand side by side with him and live a new life.
"Seeing this scene, I miss Yuanyang very much. I don't know where he has gone now, and I don't know what the epidemic in Xiangzhou is." A demon suddenly sighed, and the corners of his eyes were slightly light, and he frowned lightly in the beautiful scenery without a trace.
In these days, while Yijing's heart made the third prince jealous, he also gradually had great doubts about Yu Yu's trip to Xiangzhou, which was not the first test.
Since the two exposed the words to their face to face that night, the scenery has not hide their ability to avoid the third prince. Helpless is that this evil face is comparable to the city wall, and there is such a noble status as the prince. Just like today he is going to follow the scenery to "dissipate his mind", who can do anything about him?
Even the eldest princess felt that there were three princes following her, which was more reassuring.
However, the view will not relax his defense.
About Jin Xiang's conspiracy, it is not the right time to make it public, especially to hide it from the third prince - Yijing thought that if this demon knew that Yu Yu was in danger, he might take the opportunity to make trouble. It was not that she was sentimental, but that she was very sure of the ambition of the third prince. Since he must fight for it, it was the most straightforward What is taken is the way to marriage.
Of course, this demon has sensed the "two hearts agree" between her and Yu Yu, which is bound to regard Yu Wei as an obstacle and dare not act recklessly on the surface, but if he takes advantage of this dangerous situation, bad things...
Ijing deeply thought that the third prince had such a means and treacherous heart.
is a smile: "With the experience of prevention and control in Bingzhou, officials in Xiangzhou will not be in a hurry." I didn't mention the son.
"Doesn't the fifth sister think it's a coincidence?" The third prince tilted the corners of his eyes again: "Originally, Bingzhou and Xiangzhou Xungui were sincere to Jin Xiangzhong, but these two places breed malaria one after another."
The evil really sensed something strange in it.
"Your Highness means... the epidemic in Xiangzhou is also due to the human disaster of Jin Xiang's single-mindedness to accumulate wealth?" Yijing nodded slightly: "This is indeed impossible, but Shi De has been arrested, and Jin Xiang is now difficult to protect himself. Even if Xiangzhou officials have already planned, they dare not care about it now."
This is exactly what the third prince was puzzled, so he also nod: "I guess that although Jin Xiang had an intention, he didn't expect Bingzhou to happen so quickly, and Xiangzhou officials were also in a dilemma at this time, or Jin Xiang had intended to let the victims of the epidemic flow to Xiangzhou. In short, malaria was born at this time and could not be concealed, so he reported to Kyoto. And the emperor let Yuanyang go. Even if he has the idea of merciting the people to fight the epidemic, he also has the intention to detect the hidden situation in it. It is easy to teach Jin Xiang to blame him for his guilt.
"Your Highness's words are reasonable." Of course, Yangjing will not refute it.
"Fifth sister, look at that area, the village house has been completed. If we go and have a look, we can also return to the county government by the way. It has been some time since I came out, and my aunt will be worried." Seeing the scenery, the third prince seemed to be in a relaxed mood today. It was not like the sad clouds of the past few days, and the acid in his chest also dissipated. Of course, he had not forgotten the killer who lay in the dark and did not intend to stay outside.
The two went out and brought their own bodyguards. Today, because they were dressed in men's clothes, they simply abandoned their cars and rode horses. However, because the village road field was not very spacious, and there were livestock and carriages were endless. They could not run on horses and slowly move forward. About a moment later, they arrived at the brand-new village house.
The villagers, both men and women, went to the front construction site to help workers and responded to the government's call to build their own homes. In this village, only a few children were playing in the roadway on the dam.
A piece of peace and happiness.
The children's mentality is always shining, as if the flood and epidemic had never happened.
Looking around, this village house can accommodate about 40 or 50 families, but most of the roads have not been filled yet. It is potholes, and only a gravel road through the house is newly built and very flat.
Naturally, it is necessary to go through this road to the official road.
The gravel road was not very spacious, and several children were chasing and playing, so the group had to disar and plan to walk through the village.
Qiu Yue and Xia Ke rode this time for the first time. Because they walked slowly, they could still sit firmly, but it was a little difficult. They had to rely on the bodyguards to reach out to help each other. Even so, Qiu Yue still almost fell down and exclaimed, which made the children stop playing and curiously look at this group of beautiful people in brocade.
One of them was a little girl, about seven or eight years old. When she saw the beautiful scenery in blue, her eyes lit up and jumped forward, half raising her little face, biting her lips without saying anything.
The bodyguard will naturally not stop him from scolding when he sees that he is just a child.
Seeing her round face and round eyes, she was so cute that she couldn't help stretching out her hand, but was hugged by the little girl's arm.
"You are the son of the world!"
Huh? What's the situation...
Qiu Yue and Xia Ke looked at each other and were a little confused.
The third prince saw several little boys also rushing up and seemed to want to hug the "son". He quickly stepped forward and coughed, "Don't be naughty. She is not the son of the world."
Yi Jing stared angrily and spread out his arms, like an eagle protecting the back of a chicken, and "light" the little girl's face: "Why do you think I'm the son of the world?"
"I heard from my mother that thanks to the son's brother, we have a new house to live in, and we have full rations. In addition, Ermao's parents are suffering from malaria, and thanks to the son's brother, we can recover. The last time the son's brother came to our village, he looked at it from afar and wore this dress." The little girl turned her head again to the child who was eating her index finger and said, "Er Mao, you also saw it the other day. Is the world's brother wearing this dress?"
Qiu Yue and Xia Ke suddenly realized that their feelings only recognized clothes but not people. It is estimated that at that time, the children did not even see the eyebrows of the prince clearly, but only saw the blue clothes.
Then he heard the little girl say, "Dad said he wanted to repay his kindness. Brother Shizi, you saved us, and we have to treat you to rice cakes." Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but want to pull the scenery home.
"Hey! Little girl, you have identified the wrong person. It was the third prince who stopped him, but as soon as he turned around, the children were not stopped, and they rushed up and pushed the scenery to a room next to him. The blue clothes were instantly printed with a few black palm prints.
A group of guards looked at each other and didn't know whether to stop them or not.
It's just a group of enthusiasm and chaos.
But I suddenly heard a sound of pace.
When the third prince frowned and raised his eyes, he saw more than ten brown gushing out of the fork in front of him, blocking the front coldly, holding the cold sword in his hand and lined up.
Looking back, I saw more than a dozen strong men jumping off a cattle cart that had just followed far away, and they were also raising their swords to block the way out.
The corners of the third prince's lips were cold - careless! Although he had noticed that there was a livestock car following him, he only thought it was the labor of shipping building materials. At a glance, he saw that their close-fitting linen clothes could not carry sharp weapons, so he did not pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, it was an assassin's overseas Chinese costume. Obviously, the weapons were hidden in the car.
And the group of people in front of them obviously saw them coming to this village and set an ambush in advance!
"Hide in the house and don't come out!" Between the lightning, the third prince pushed a scene that was stunned by the "abbreat ambush" and pulled out the long sword on his waist with a sound.
And the bodyguards who were helpless for the children also woke up and came out of their swords and surrounded the third prince and the scenery.
A loud horse hissed, as if the horn had sounded on the battlefield!
