The rainstorm subsided after an hour. The rain in that short hour was heavy enough to form a terrible peak. The flood is likely to cause deadly and devastating damage downstream. And Yang Xianmao had no way to notify them, just like no one could notify them when they encountered a flood.

I saw that the rain outside had subsided, and the flood water had quickly receded. The county lord of Bai Zhi, who had been hiding in Yang Xianmao's arms and trembling, calmed down a little.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling in the distance, and then I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and someone shouted all the way over. When I got closer, I heard that he was shouting loudly: "Young Master Yang, Lord Bai Zhi, where are you? We were sent by Hua Youying Gongzi to find you." ”

Listening to the voice, it really seemed to be a servant of Hua Youying, and the two couldn't help but be overjoyed, Yang Xianmao hurriedly agreed loudly: "We are here!"

The two men were so pleased that they rode to the side of the road above, turned over and dismounted, and called out loudly. Yang Xianmao helped the county lord of Bai Zhi to leave the tree hole, and saw two people on the post road, although he couldn't see their faces clearly, but listening to their voices, it was really Hua Youying's servant, Yang Xianmao hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

"We had set up tents on the river beach at the exit of the canyon, but suddenly there was a flood in the canyon that was hundreds of feet high and almost swept us all away. Fortunately, we found it in time, ran relatively fast, and it was fine. We feared that you were in danger, so we hurried back to the place where we had camped along the post road, but when we found that it was already flooded, we searched and rescued them along the canyon. In the end, he found Young Master Hua and Lord Yaoxiang, and learned that Young Master Yang and Lord Bai Zhi fell into the water and were swept away. The lord of Yaoxiang asked us to divide into two roads, one along the banks of the valley to search and rescue, and the other way was us, along the post road. The lord of Yaoxiang said that if the prince and the county lord had already gone ashore, they would probably come to the post road, and sure enough, they would meet the prince and the county lord, which was really good. ”

"What about them, county lords?"

"They were looking for the prince and the lord along the banks of the river. We'll leave the horses to Childe and the lord for now, and you go to the exit of the canyon downstream to meet our men. There was our tent there, and two people were left behind. We'll go and inform the county lord and the playboy at once, and we'll be here. ”

At that moment, the two servants left their horses with Yang Xianmao and Bai Zhi, and then the two rushed to inform Hua Youying that they had gone.

Yang Xianmao and Bai Zhi got on their horses and walked downstream along the post road to the place where they met. Tents had been erected here, and the servants were overjoyed to see them both. Hurriedly brought hot soup, and found clean robes for the two of them to change into.

When it was almost dawn, Hua Youying and the lord of Yaoxiang, who got the news, returned to the camp.

As soon as the county lord of Yaoxiang saw the county lord of Bai Zhi in front of him, he couldn't help crying with joy, and rushed over to hug her, laughing and jumping, and whining and crying. He said, "God, I thought it was ...... It's great that you're both safe now. ”

Lord Bai Zhi was thinking about one thing all the way, that is, whether to tell this cousin that he had been on good terms with Yang Xianmao. Because she knew that her cousin also liked Yang Xianmao. However, she believed that her cousin should not be the kind of woman who was jealous. Sooner or later, this kind of thing has to be said, rather than waiting for the matchmaker to come to the door before telling my sister, it is better to have a heart-to-heart with my sister now, and both parties are prepared.

So, the county lord of Bai Zhi called the county lord of Yaoxiang to a separate tent, and the two whispered.

The Lord of Yaoxiang County seemed to have known what Bai Zhi County Lord was talking to her, and she was a little nervous and unnatural. Lord Bai Zhi thought seriously for a while, and then hugged her and said, "Brother Yang saved me, and we talked about you when we chatted." ”

When the Lord of Yaoxiang heard this, his face suddenly became ashamed and happy. With excitement in his eyes, he said, "What did he say? ”

"Brother Yang said that he likes you very much, and when he is going back, he will say that he will propose marriage. ”

The county lord of Yaoxiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the county lord of Bai Zhi, and suddenly smiled. He pointed his finger at the county lord of Bai Zhi and said, "I know, you must have told him that my father invited him to dinner just because he wanted to go on a blind date." Otherwise, with his character, he would never take the initiative to propose to our family. Ordinary people don't do that, unless he's sure that my dad will agree to his proposal. ”

Indeed, the father of the lord of Yaoxiang County is the prince, and a flat-headed common man dares to propose to their family, so no one will do it unless they are sure that the other party will agree.

The county lord of Bai Zhi smiled and said: "I said two words, in fact, I didn't say it clearly, but he immediately guessed it, saying that he actually likes you very much, and if your father promises to marry you to him, he will immediately ask the media to say kiss when he goes back." - You see, you haven't even invited this meal, and you already know the answer. ”

The little face of the county lord of Yaoxiang was excited and shy: "Brother Yang really said that he likes me?

"If you don't believe me, ask him yourself later. ”

"I'm not going, I'm ashamed. ”

Lord Bai Zhi smiled, and then the smile disappeared, and he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

The Lord of Yaoxiang glanced at her sideways and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"No, how can there be ......"

The county lord of Bai Zhi smiled a little unnaturally, glanced at the county lord of Yaoxiang, and then lowered his head again.

"Come, I don't know if you have something?" tell me quickly, if there is anything we two sisters can't say, tell me what the hell is going on?"

The county lord of Bai Zhi suddenly blushed slightly, a little shy. Then he lowered his head again, shook his head and said, "Not really." ”

Her shy appearance was immediately caught by the Lord of Yaoxiang, and said, "Do you also like Brother Yang?"

"No, how can there be ......"

Bai Zhi's words were obviously nonsense. Lord Yaoxiang sighed and said, "It's okay, it's normal for you to like him, Brother Yang is so capable." ”

"No, actually...... Actually, I have a last resort, I may ......"

"Look at your spitting appearance, if you have anything to say, hurry up. What else can't we say openly and honestly? ”

The county lord of Yaoxiang had already received the answer that Yang Xianmao liked her and would come to the door to propose marriage, which made her happy, and she was in a good mood.

Although she had already guessed that the county lord of Bai Zhi was likely to also like Yang Xianmao, but with the foundation of her own happiness, coupled with the relationship between the two of them from childhood to adulthood, she did not exclude the occurrence of this situation.

Lord Bai Zhi thought about it, and finally lowered his voice and said: "That's the case, I fell into the water before, and Brother Yang came to save me, but we were all dragged into the flood, and I was about to drown, and it was Brother Yang who gave me all the anger from mouth to mouth, which saved my life." ”

Lord Yaoxiang's eyes immediately widened, he looked at her in horror, and pointed his finger at her and said, "Could it be ...... You guys...... Are you kissing?"

Lord Bai Zhi explained in a panic: "No, it's to save my life...... That's it. ”

"But...... You're all already like this, aren't you...... Don't plan to marry him yet?"

"Yes, men and women don't kiss, I have a skin-to-skin relationship with him. If you don't marry him, what will you do once it gets out?"

Lord Yaoxiang stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, put his face against her cheek and said, "What is there to consider here, let's marry him together,—— it's cheaper!"

Bai Zhijun is the main one who said this, and he was ashamed and happy for a while: "That...... Aren't you angry?"

The county lord of Yaoxiang nodded the nose of the county lord of Bai Zhi and said, "Silly words, we sisters serve a husband together." It's not that there is no such precedent in history, maybe it's still a good story. I see that Brother Yang is so capable, and he will enter the picture in the future, isn't that an ordinary thing?"

"I think so, but I'm still worried about one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Lord Bai Zhi looked at her and said slowly, "Who is the wife and who is the concubine?"

"You are a sister, of course you are a wife and I am a concubine. "The lord of Yaoxiang County is innocent, and there is no difference between wives and concubines.

Lord Bai Zhi smiled and said, "It's easy to say which of our two sisters is a wife and who is a concubine, but your father and my father will be more serious." ”

"What's more true about that? Your father is my father's brother, of course the eldest one is at the top, it's right, it's your turn, it's your wife, and I'm a concubine." ”

Bai Zhiqun shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, this is not a family seniority, this is about what kind of identity their daughter will appear in the future." And the emperor will definitely ask about the marriage of the two of us. Do you think the emperor will agree to allow our two county lords to marry Brother Yang at the same time? The two county lords are married to a flat-headed commoner, even if my father and your father agree, the emperor will not agree to it. ”

The Lord of Yaoxiang was also dumbfounded when he heard this. Although she is still young, she does not think as much as the county lord of Bai Zhi thinks, but after such a little bit of attention from the county lord of Bai Zhi, she also feels that this is a big problem.

Because of the marriage of the prince's daughter, it must have to go through the emperor's final decision. Because many royal relatives generally do not consider the idea of their daughters how to get married, they often think from the perspective of strengthening the imperial power.

If one of the two county lords is willing to marry Yang Xianmao, a flat-headed commoner, and their parents agree, the emperor will generally not stop it, but if the two county lords marry this flat-headed commoner, and one of them has to be a concubine, the emperor is afraid that he will interfere strongly.

For a while, both of them were a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to do.

Lord Yaoxiang said with some frustration: "If you don't marry him, sister, I won't marry." He saved my life, and although I am grateful to him, I like him very much. But if the two of us can't marry him at the same time, you, as a sister, should marry him first. And you're already like that, so what if you don't marry him?"

Lord Bai Zhi shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of humility, let's go back and tell my father and mother, let them discuss with the emperor themselves." No matter who marries Brother Yang, we are always good sisters. Who made us royal, if we were just the daughters of ordinary people, we would never be like this!"

The Lord of Yaoxiang said gloomily: "Yes, if only we were ordinary people's children. ”
