Chapter 85 The path is difficult to walk, don't get lost

Leng Xuanrong lay on the bed and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although she can often think of He Lijing in her mind these days, it is very different from meeting him. Before seeing this, Leng Xuanrong was able to calmly recall the past, but now Leng Xuanrong's mind seems to have only hatred and the decision to wave the knife in her previous life.

She couldn't sleep and didn't even dare to close her eyes. The scene like a horse lantern flashed in front of him, and Leng Xuanrong lay there like this.

And in another room not far away, it is also dead quiet.

He Lijing stood respectfully at the entrance and looked up at Du Yilin, the prince sitting at the table criticizing the official documents.

Du Yilin seemed to be busy and forgetful, and didn't even look at He Lijing.

After about two cups of tea, Du Yilin put down his brush, took a breath, picked up the tea bowl at hand and took a sip of tea.

Wait for him to put down the tea bowl, look up at He Lijing, and said coldly, "Isn't this Lord He? Why didn't you even make a sound when you came?"

He Lijing heard the words, hurried forward a few steps, made an official salute, and then said with a smile, "The subordinate came in a hurry for fear of disturbing the prince, so he has been standing by the door waiting."

Du Yilin raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I remember correctly, I also received a fold handed over from the Military Affairs Department and the Du Branch yesterday. They said that Lord He said that you had found many hidden dangers in the river embankment in Wuming County and wanted to add troops to allocate money to take care of the river work. Unexpectedly, Lord He came to this small county in Yan in person today. What? What's the point about the river worker? Or is there anything else?"

He Lijing had long known that Du Yilin would ask him about the fold. He was also prepared and answered, "Your Majesty, the subordinate came to Nayan County this time for the sake of the river work. In winter, the lower official sent people to survey all counties in Wuming County. In other counties, although there was no court allocation for the time being, there were also local officials who spontaneously repaired, and there were also people who were looking for people to check the river embankment. However, after investigation, several sections of the river embankment in Ganyan County found that there was no sign of renovation after the flood. What's more, it was reported that Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate of Ganyan County, took people to the river embankment to collect stone and wood for his own use.

Speaking of this, He Lijing frowned and was full of righteous indignation, "There are more than 100 miles of rivers in Nayan County. If the news is true, then Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, is really bold. The officials and the people in Wuming County do their best for the flood of the river embankment every year. As a county magistrate, the subordinates must not tolerate anyone to exchange the lives of the people for their own money!"

He Lijing took a deep breath and arched his hand to Du Yilin and said, "Therefore, the lower official came to find out whether the river embankment was true or false, and to give peace of mind to the people and the court."

After listening to He Lijing's words, Du Yilin did not react. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "So there are such things. It's rare for Lord He to attach so much importance to river workers and come to inspect in person.

He Lijing bowed hurriedly when he heard the words, "This is a matter within the subordinate's office."

"Hmm." Du Yilin glanced at He Lijing and said coldly, "Do your duty well and be loyal to the court. With an official like Lord He guarding one side, the royal brother will be happy to know it."

He Lijing's expression on his face stagnated and replied, "I will do my best", and then stopped talking.

Du Yilin put down the teacup and said to He Lijing, "Don't let go of my hands and feet just because I'm here. Since you work for the court, you should do it well. After finishing it, you don't have to tell me to go to the court according to the rules.

"Remember." He Lijing seemed to hesitate to say something, but when he saw that Du Yilin's face was slightly bad, he gave up the idea and stood aside respectfully.

"All's it. Go back. Do whatever you have to do. Du Yilin waved his hand impatiently, which was even to blow away He Lijing.

After salute, He Lijing withdrew from the room, took out a sweat towel from his arms to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then took a breath.

Not long after, a personal guard came in with a tea tray to change the tea for Du Yilin.

Du Yilin asked, "What did He Lijing do after he went out?"

While changing the tea, the guard said, "Lord He ordered the accompanying officials not to disturb the prince and concentrate on his errands. Then the group went to the county government.

Du Yilin nodded and whispered, "Keep an eye on it."

I understood it and bowed out.

When there was no one else in the room, Du Yilin frowned.

He Lijing's arrival was also a little sudden for him. Du Yilin thought to himself that before his things were finished, the people over there could not help it. It seems that I still need to find a way to hide everyone's eyes and ears.

At this time, the door rang softly, and Mr. Dou's voice came. Du Yilin was refreshed, got up and opened the door, and invited Mr. Dou in.

After Mr. Dou sat down, he asked Du Yilin, "Your Majesty, when will you return to the imperial city?"

Du Yilin was stunned when he heard the words, "What? Are you going to kick me out? Is it annoying for me to live with you?

Mr. Dou hurriedly shook his head, frowned and said seriously, "Now this matter... I think you still have to put your safety first. No matter what you want to investigate, just leave it to the people below to check. In case something happens to you here, you can ask us how to explain to the emperor..."

Du Yilin was not happy, but snorted, "Huowei, what are you worried about? Even if something happens to me, I won't blame you. Besides, what can I do? Don't worry. Although this group of people are coyed, it's not time to take action..."

Mr. Dou seemed to hear something from Du Yilin's words. He frowned more tightly and asked Du Yilin in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is it the emperor who came this time..."

Du Yilin shook his head with a light smile, made a silent gesture, and then changed the topic and asked Mr. Dou, "Didn't Liang Muhan come to you these days?"

Mr. Dou lowered his head and sighed, "I don't know what Mu Han is busy with..."

He recalled that Mr. Liang once compared himself to an ant, and I'm afraid it makes some sense. The prince can call for wind and rain and control the situation to turn the world around, but in contrast, Mr. Liang can only work hard to protect the people and things he cares about and his own life.

Mr. Dou knew that he was not from the prince's side or Mr. Liang San's side. Although he seemed to be outside the world, he had to linger in the matter. So he can't take action, can't participate, and can only watch silently.

While silently watching Mr. Liang San's struggle, he silently watched Du Yilin in danger.

"In any case, you'd better finish things as soon as possible and go back to the imperial city. In other hands, the emperor won't worry. Mr. Dou tried to emphasize it again.

Du Yilin looked at Mr. Dou's face with a painful expression. He shook his head with a smile and whispered, "Hao Wei, do you know why your master asked you to come to this Nayan County?"

Mr. Dou was shocked when he heard Du Yilin mention this. Could Du Yilin know something that he didn't even understand?

Du Yilin saw Mr. Dou's face shocked and smiled even more happily.

When he laughed enough, he pulled Mr. Dou and whispered in his ear, "Although I'm just a judgment, I have also figured out what Mr. Zhang means. He asked you to stay in this Nayan County, which must be because in case there is a big fire here, you can stand up to put out the fire.

Mr. Dou was confused. As a scholar, even if he fights with this mortal body, he can't resist any great fire.

"Your Majesty...what do you say?" Mr. Dou asked doubtfully.

Du Yilin asked in surprise, "You really don't know?" After saying that, he sighed and shook his head, "Oh... Mr. Zhang really accepted the wrong apprentice..."

Mr. Dou stared at Du Yilin fiercely and muttered, "If you want to say it, why do you hurt people..."

"Hahaha..." Du Yilin laughed loudly, and then mysteriously pointed to Mr. Dou in one direction, "Who is over there?"

Mr. Dou was still a little confused at first, but then he thought of something. His eyes lit up, patted himself on the top of the head and shouted, "How can I forget this!" Really... really... alas! Alas! If Master knew, he would really have to slap me a few times to vent his anger!"

Du Yilin nodded with a smile.

Mr. Dou looked in that direction and nodded and whispered, "The prince is right. Although I, Dou Haowei, am a scholar without chicken binding power, no matter what the fire is, as long as I fix a book, the man will come to the fire. As long as he comes, nothing can be burned.

Du Yilin took a long breath and sighed, "Yes. It's because you and that person are here that I dare to do things so unscrupulously... If this is not done, I can't go back to the imperial city. If this matter is not done, I'm afraid that there will be endless disasters in the future..."

Du Yilin thought about something and said again after a long time, "Haowei, since you are friends with Liang Muhan, take time to tell him that the path is difficult and don't get lost."

Mr. Dou got up and bowed to Du Yilin.

Du Yilin waved his hand with a smile.

Both of them know that this good word may not get any good results.

Unconsciously, it got dark outside.

Leng Xuanrong lay on the bed and didn't know what sound she heard. She suddenly came to her senses and found that her mind seemed to have been blank and did not think about future countermeasures at all.

Liang Qiurong's affairs have not progressed yet. Now that He Lijing is here again, how should she open a road of revenge among these people?

Leng Xuanrong looked at the lanterns lit outside the window and sighed, came down from the bed, opened the door and walked to the courtyard.
