Chapter 35: The Truth Rises and Falls

For Mu Rufeng, who was sent out of the palace today without seeing the holy face, today is another dumb loss in Qin Zhi, and he has not listened to other ministers and other holy ministers to discuss the affairs of the saint for several hours when he has not entered the palace on weekdays.

Fortunately, there are still people in Duanwang's Mansion who can support them, and seeing that Jiang and Xiu rushed to Jizhou, Mu Rufeng's original heart can be regarded as a little more stable.

Jizhou is far away from Kyoto, Jiang and Hugh have to catch up with two days even if they don't stop, Mu Rufeng discussed the follow-up matters with King Duan, and returned to Jizhou with a letter from a white pigeon.

At the same time, Mu Yan sent Yuanqing to investigate the inner ghosts in the current camp, and the other side took Xiangqing to the source of the flood.

When Mu Yan arrived, the nearby levee had been completely washed away by the floodwater, and the people who had previously lived around him were displaced. He ordered Xiang Qing to survey the terrain nearby, and he himself stayed in place to appease the victims, and there were naturally Hun soldiers waiting for the opportunity to hide in the pile of victims.

The local people in Jizhou were affected by the disaster for a few days, but the imperial court did nothing, and the officials sent down in front of them were all hypocritically concerned and went back to their homes, without really thinking about the people at all, and now Mu Yan came here to visit silently, and the victims naturally thought that he was no different from those who did nothing before, and naturally refused to say any useful news at first.

Xiang Qing quickly explored the surrounding terrain for a long time, turned back to Mu Yan's side, and said in a low voice: "Childe, although the embankment here has completely collapsed, the terrain is still high, if you temporarily build a residence for the people, it is still feasible for your subordinates." ”

Many local people were displaced by this natural disaster, Mu Yan naturally had to build a post-disaster residence for them, Xiang Qing took out the relevant map from his dark sleeve, he carefully inspected the meeting, and after clicking a few places with his fingertips, he instructed: "You go to find some people to give porridge here, and then build some people who can live in it, now that the rain has stopped, we should speed up the pace and let them have an eaves to protect them from the rain." ”

Xiang Qing bowed his hand and retreated, while Mu Yan stayed where he was and learned the general situation with the local victims, the north was not far from the camp where they were stationed, and Xiang Qing quickly found Yuanqing and his party, including Jiang Liyue.

At first, when Mu Yan saw Jiang Liyue smiling and carrying the hem of her skirt down, when the embroidered shoes were covered with mud, his brows frowned unconsciously, after all, in his heart, Jiang Liyue has always been the pearl of the palm of the Duanwang Mansion that has been raised, and he should not be so embarrassed.

Jiang Liyue looked at him as if she had a sense, walked in front of him as if she had a telepathy for a while, raised her jade hand to smooth the frowning sword eyebrows for him, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun's eyebrows are used to looking better when he smiles, don't always frown, he is ten years old." ”

Before he could react, Jiang Liyue had already turned around and was busy with Spruce and the others, and after assisting Yuanqing to set up the camp for soup kitchen, he hurriedly beckoned the victims gathered together to come forward to receive the porridge.

At first, some of the victims were indifferent, but when they saw that a few people stepped forward to try to retrieve the porridge seriously, Jiang Liyue smiled and gave porridge, and when she came to the end, she naturally talked with the local victims: "Uncle, why were you indifferent when I said soup porridge?" ”

The old man was happy, and after taking the porridge bowl handed by Jiang Liyue, he took the initiative to stand aside and let the people behind him come forward, before replying: "The little girl must have just come, we often have floods in Jizhou, and it is even worse in spring, but in recent years, the court has sent people down to help us rebuild the house, but they are all greedy for the speed of their tongues, and the follow-up houses are all built by ourselves while the sun is shining, and I have long been used to this old bone." ”

Jiang Liyue froze for a moment, exchanged glances with Mu Yan, who was also listening to the old man not far away, and only responded after a while: "Then the old man can enjoy the blessings today, we are sincerely here to help you, it is not good to suffer from this flood in the spring, you wait a little longer, we will definitely speed up the pace." ”

The old man drank the soft porridge in the porridge bowl, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, little girl, we are used to it here, and we are very touched that you can come here to give porridge here sincerely." ”

The imperial court doesn't know how much the people eat every year, but once the people suffer from the flood, although they have done enough to save face, they have sent a lot of disaster relief funds, but there must be very few people who have returned to the people after going through the layers of officials, Jiang Liyue vaguely remembered that Jizhou was also in the current situation in the previous life, but Jiang Chen was still indifferent when he saw Mu Yan's plan for the local disaster.

Jiang Liyue has been clothed and fed since she was a child, but the people of Li are homeless due to floods, which makes her a little sad, so she used twelve points of strength when she sent porridge later.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Liyue insisted on retreating from the spruce, bathed and changed clothes by herself, and leaned on the bed to read the scrolls.

After about a stick of incense, Mu Yan walked into Jiang Liyue's house softly, she put down the scroll after listening to the movement, raised her eyes to look at Mu Yan for a long time, and shrank up to make room for Mu Yan.

Mu Yan took off the cloak on his body, walked to the bed and sat down, touched Jiang Liyue's lotus root arm exposed outside the brocade with both hands, and asked while kneading it for her: "Is Mrs. tired today?" Soup kitchens are not simple tasks. ”

"It's not as hard as Lang Jun, today's old man's words may help you a thing or two, I see that disaster relief is not easy to solve in a day or two, I remember that Yan Lang once sent a letter to Kyoto, did the emperor's uncle reply to the letter?"

Mu Yan shook his head, Jiang Liyue was suddenly silent, although he had expected that Jiang Chen would not make a difference, but he was somewhat embarrassed to learn the truth: "Yan Lang don't worry, I guess you also sent a copy to Mu Mansion when you sent the letter, Daddy's side should send someone to help, but I believe that Yan Lang alone can handle the matter here." ”

In her previous life, Mu Yan relied on her own strength to solve the affairs of Jizhou, so she was extremely sure, Mu Yan shook his fingertips, and looked up at her again: "By Mrs. Jiyan, now that I know where this mistake is, it is naturally more convenient to handle." ”

"I can help Yan Lang, Yue'er is also satisfied, Yan Lang is working hard today, you might as well take a bath first and rest early, the victims are still settled today, and it should be more convenient to deal with tomorrow's affairs."

Jiang Liyue stretched out her other free hand to rub Mu Yan's shoulders between words.

After a tiring day, it really consumed energy, Mu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, which were a little painful, and instantly put his eyes on Jiang Liyue: "Madame is very sleepy after running around with me for the past few days, so you might as well rest today." ”

Mu Yan answered, extinguishing several oil lamps in the house, leaving only one oil lamp that was shining with warm light.

On the third day of handing out the urgent letter, when Mu Yan was worried about how to rebuild the dam with only a few people behind him, he handed him a letter from Kyoto: "Childe, King Duan has sent his eldest son to assist us, and I estimate that the trip should be almost here today." ”

Mu Yan unfolded the letter and flipped through it, bowed his head slightly, and was about to assign the task when there was a very light sound of horses behind him, Jiang and Hugh settled the horses, and found Mu Yan down the slope, and the two stood opposite each other and bowed.

"Mu Gongzi has been working hard recently, and my father sent me to help you." Jiang and Hugh went straight to the point and made it clear what they meant.

"Thank you Jiang Gongzi for your willingness to help this time, and without further ado, let's discuss how to rebuild this embankment."

With the help of Jiang and Hugh from thousands of miles away, the follow-up construction of the embankment was naturally much improved, and with a small team of Jiang and Hugh, the time for building the embankment was greatly shortened.

At the same time, Jiang Liyue was still giving porridge outside a camp tent upstream, and the Hun soldiers who hid their identities in the disaster group were waiting for an opportunity to move.

One of the Huns, who had been staring at the jade plate tied to Jiang Liyue's waist for a long time, said to the leader who was holding a grass in his mouth: "Boss, look at the little girl, although she has changed her dress in the past few days, the jade card on her body seems to have never changed, could it be that she is the master we have been looking for?" ”

Zhao Yin played with the grass on the side of his mouth, glanced at the jade plate on Jiang Liyue's waist, and said lightly: "Yes or no, just try it." Wait here for now, and I'll meet this girl later. ”

Emperor Baicang died successively, most of the soldiers who followed Emperor Baicang in the past died together, after Jiang Chen ascended the throne, he forced the soldiers who were loyal to Emperor Baicang to have no way to retreat, Zhao Yin and his party were a few of them who rarely saved their lives, but Jiang Chen's methods were ruthless, they could only hide in the Huns, and buried the past together.

Now although there is no clue on the jade card on Jiang Liyue's body, Zhao Yin and his party know what kind of secret is hidden in it, when Emperor Baicang dragged the jade card with the orphan before he died, and now the person with the jade card is naturally inextricably linked to the orphan.

Zhao Yin roughly considered the follow-up rhetoric in his heart, and only after the placement was properly settled, he slowly stepped forward, and when it was his turn to give porridge, he said in a timely manner: "The two girls don't look like they're from Jizhou. ”

Jiang Liyue persisted in scooping the spoon of porridge, and there was a faint smile in her words: "Good eyes, the little girl is indeed not from Jizhou." ”

"From Kyoto? Every year in Jizhou, the imperial court will send people to repair here, but I have never seen a woman willing to come here. Zhao Yin inquired while holding the porridge that had been taken.

Before Jiang Liyue could answer this time, Spruce took the lead and spoke: "That's nature, my young lady is kind." ”

If you go out too ostentatious, it will be easy to provoke, and there is no need to make trouble, so Spruce changed his words very appropriately.

Zhao Yin paused slightly, his eyes were fixed on the jade plate on Jiang Liyue's waist for a long time, and the words changed sharply: "What is the origin of the jade plate on the girl's body?" I look very familiar, and once upon a time I had an old man who often carried this jade plaque on him. ”

Jiang Liyue took the opportunity to rest her eyes on the jade plate, and Mu Yan's figure unconsciously appeared in her mind, could it be that the old man in this person's mouth was Mu Yan? In the past, when Mu Yan said this jade plaque, he only said that it was an ordinary object, but he never said what it meant.

"It's just a coincidence, this jade plaque was given by a son, I wish the little girl good health, but there is no image on the side."
