The old man sighed before the war chapter 59 Qiao Zi was newly haired

After walking for two days, Xiao Yu finally came to Hedong County, the hardest-hit area of the Yellow River breach, of course, it was not that he was slow to come, but that he had to avoid the flooding of the river along the way, and when he came to the disaster relief camp headed by the Li family, it was already the third day. However, it was precisely because of the sparing of the road that he also saw the control of the disaster. Originally, on the way here, he had estimated the situation that would be encountered in this disaster relief, and he had already made various plans in his heart. But when he really set foot in Hedong County, he saw that the situation in Hedong County was completely different from what he expected. There are no hungry people everywhere, no flooding of the Yellow River, and no public grievances, everything is so orderly. The people were busy with their own business, and it was rare for anyone to complain about the disaster. And after consulting the local officials who received him, he learned that all this was due to the Li family in Jinyang.

Because long before his arrival, Li Shimin, the second son of the Li family, personally escorted the grain transported from Guangtong Warehouse to arrive. Before Li Shimin arrived, Li Xiuning took the lead in transporting a batch of supplies to stabilize the victims. The victims had food to wrap their stomachs, and Chai Shao and others made arrangements in advance, so in the end there was no major civil unrest. Later, it was coordinated by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Jing and Chai Shao personally led the people and soldiers of the whole county to start digging ditches and draining water outside the flood area, and in just three days, the dug river canal has basically taken shape, as long as it is widened and reinforced, it should be able to start draining the river water in the flood area.

"Shimin has seen my uncle." Li Shimin was originally cooperating with Fang Xuanling to command the digging of the ditch, and when he knew that Xiao Yu was coming, he didn't bother to change his clothes and came to greet him.

"Shimin, what's the situation?" Xiao Yu hurriedly asked. Although the impact of the Yellow River breach is not large, the residual sediment of the Yellow River is still difficult to deal with, and if it is not treated in time, it may still miss the autumn planting.

"Uncle rest assured, everything is going well, if nothing happens, it should be handled within a month, as long as the autumn planting is not delayed, there is hope for people's livelihood in the coming year." Li Shimin's answer surprised Xiao Yu. He was not surprised by the fast progress of the disaster relief matter, but he did not expect that Li Shimin, like him, would first think of the livelihood of the people.

"Virtuous nephew! Uncle has one more thing to ask you, how did you transfer the grain and rice for this disaster relief? This is also one of the purposes for Xiao Yu to come to Li Shimin, because the granary has always been the top priority of every dynasty, and generally without the order of the imperial court, the warehouse must not be opened to release grain. Even Xiao Yu was on the way here, so he sent someone to rush to Guangtong Warehouse to order the opening of the warehouse for disaster relief. But now Li Shimin has taken the lead in escorting the grain and rice from Guangtong Warehouse! In this case, either Guangtong Cang has failed to take charge of his duties, or Li Shimin has other methods, but no matter what, it is extremely ultra vires!

"The people of the world are guilty!" As soon as Li Shimin heard Xiao Yu mention this matter, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Because Guangtong Cangzhang ordered the eldest grandson and his father to be old acquaintances, so this time Shimin went to speak to him on his father's order, and the eldest grandson remembered that the situation was special, so he asked his nephew to come with food. However, the eldest grandson has already reported this matter to the Holy Lord, believing that the Holy Lord's will will come down soon. ”

"That's good, that's good." When Xiao Yu heard this, although he said that he was relieved, he was a little more worried about the influence of the Li family in the land of Guanlong. A son of a foreign relative, who can say that he can move important officials of the imperial court to open warehouses and release grain just by words, is it really just that the officials in charge know how to judge the situation and assess the situation? However, since this was not a top priority, he didn't say much, and could only wait for the imperial court to make a judgment first. And another question, he was more concerned, so he asked Li Shimin again: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that not long after the Yellow River broke this time, the river returned to its original path, but is there such a thing?" ”

It stands to reason that the river burst usually occurs during the flood season, either because the upstream water flow is surging, or the excessive rainfall in a certain section of the river causes the river to break through the embankment. But this time? It's clear that summer has passed, and there hasn't been any heavy rain near Chang'an recently? And this time it was unprecedented, and it was not long before it broke back! It's unheard of!

"This?" Because Li Shimin was not present when Xiao Zhuo suppressed Long Ling, and Chai Shao and the others couldn't see anything at that time, when they told Li Shimin, Li Shimin could only feel incredible with them. But in any case, it is always a good thing that the Yellow River has returned, and the most important thing now is not this, but disaster relief. But since Xiao Yu asked at this time, he could only tell the truth, "The specific people of this matter are not clear, but it is said that it was Li Chunfeng who did this, and thanks to him, the people here are willing to obey the dispatch." And he was on the high slope on the other side, and the people of the world sent for him. Li Shimin pointed in the direction, and just as he was about to leave, Xiao Yu immediately stopped him.

Li Chunfeng? Xiao Yu remembered the young man he had seen in the Xiao family, since Xiao Zhuo's body was crushed, Yuan Tiangang took Li Chunfeng and Li Yuanba without a trace, but he didn't expect Li Chunfeng to come here. And then he learned from Jiang Yingxue that Xiao Zhuo was still alive, so it was more like knowing where Xiao Zhuo was? But whether it was Jiang Yingxue or Weng Tingyan, they were always tight-lipped about this matter, and now that they met Li Chunfeng here, he naturally wanted to find out.

"Virtuous nephew! You get busy here first, I'll go find him myself. Out of a little selfishness, Xiao Yu refused Li Shimin's follow, and walked in the direction pointed by Li Shimin. But after taking a step, Xiao Yu turned around and asked, "By the way, where is that Li Jing?" ”

"Li Daxia, he is supervising the progress of digging ditches elsewhere, does my uncle want to see him?" Li Shimin replied. But Xiao Yu didn't express an eager attitude when he heard it, "No need, disaster relief is important, and the court's commendation is just a moment." ”

After climbing a high slope, Xiao Yu finally met the young man who was rumored to be a god by the people. Still as safe and elegant as before, Li Chunfeng was observing the terrain everywhere, as if the high and low terrain here was unique in his eyes. But Xiao Yu looked at Li Chunfeng at this time, but he always felt that the figure was a little familiar, because many of Li Chunfeng's actions revealed Xiao Zhuo's shadow.

Is it Zhuo'er? Although the two have differences in shape and appearance, this thought suddenly lingered in Xiao Yu's mind for some reason.

As if he noticed that someone was approaching him, Li Chunfeng also turned around and took a look, but when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but be stunned in place. He had thought that the imperial court would send officials to provide disaster relief, but he did not expect that it would be his father. It was still the same familiar face, serious and kind, but when we saw him again today, there was a lot of gray hair between his temples. At that moment, the person in front of him was strict with himself, taught himself, and entrusted himself...... They all came to mind one by one, but in the end, they had to turn into a sentence: "Li Chunfeng has seen Master Xiao." ”

Li Chunfeng! Xiao Yu was also awakened by this sentence. When he walked towards Li Chunfeng, he regarded Li Chunfeng as Xiao Zhuo several times, especially when he saw the double swords behind Li Chunfeng, he couldn't help but want to shout: Zhuo'er. But Li Chunfeng's reminder let him know that the young man in front of him was not his son.

"Daochang Li, can you let me see the sword behind you?" In the end, Xiao Yu made other requests to Li Chunfeng because there were other people around him. These two swords were held by Xiao Zhuo before, although for some reason they would be on Li Chunfeng's body at this time, but when Xiao Yu saw it, he still couldn't help but see things and people, and wanted to take a few more looks.

"Lord Xiao, please mourn for the matter of my uncle." Xiao Zhuo untied the sword box and handed it over, his hands couldn't help but shake a little. His father acted like this today, how could he, as a son, not know what he meant, but he also had to pretend to comfort his father. But what he didn't know was that Xiao Yu already knew that he was not dead.

"Do you know where Daoist Li is?" Taking advantage of the opportunity to get closer, Xiao Yu asked Li Chunfeng in a low voice.

He? Xiao Zhuo suddenly said, who is he referring to when his father speaks? Did my father know that he wasn't dead? Xiao Zhuo immediately looked up at his father, and those eyes revealed eagerness and hope. After much confusion, Xiao Zhuo still pushed the sword box to his feet and replied, "He's fine." ”
