Yan Zixi almost cried out excitedly, and quickly withdrew her gaze, looked at Xiao Jingcong and asked.

"Jing Cong Jing Cong, do you know where these rivers flowed in the first place?"

"Before? In the past, it was a main road that flowed down the river and merged into the downstream. Xiao Jingcong pondered for a moment, and then returned to the Tao.

"And what low-lying areas or lakes are around here?" Yan Zixi continued to ask.

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she frowned slightly, "Xi'er, what do you want to do?" ”

"Jingcong, this river has burst its banks, and before the dam is built, these floodwaters will only flow through the river to the lower areas. These villages are located in the low-lying part of the terrain, which is why they were so badly affected this time. ”

Xiao Jingcong nodded thoughtfully and motioned for Xiao Jingcong to continue.

"Jingcong, if we divert these floodwaters and divert them to other low-lying areas...... For example, if you adjust it in a nearby large lake, can you lower the water level? ”

Yan Zixi said and pointed to the foot of the mountain, "Since the terrain here is low, we will dig a water diversion from here to divert all these floods and lead them to the farmland and lakes farther away, first, to solve the flood, and secondly, to store water for the lake and irrigate the farmland, Jingcong, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Yan Zixi said this, the people around him were stunned and speechless for a long time.

When they reacted, their mouths were full of admiration.

"Princess Xiao is really smart!"

"Yes, if you really follow the method that Princess Xiao said, maybe you can really solve this flood!"

"Nope! Not only this time, but this area will not be flooded again in the future, which is really a lot of money......"

Listening to the praise of the guards and officials around her, Yan Zixi couldn't help but blush, and she was a little embarrassed to praise her.

Xiao Jingcong also stretched out his thumb to Yan Zixi, although he didn't say anything, but he could read Xiao Jingcong's mood at this time in Xiao Jingcong's doting and loving eyes.

I'm afraid I'm so happy that I married such a smart and capable lady!

Xiao Jingcong ordered his subordinates to do everything according to Yan Zixi's wishes, and asked them to notify Chen County Commander and let Chen County Commander assist in helping.

After everyone was ordered to leave, Xiao Jingcong walked to Yan Zixi's side, gently hugged her shoulders, and said with a smile in her mouth.

"Well, you really deserve to be the princess of this king, Xi'er, you did a good job! This time, if you really help your husband solve this flood, your husband really doesn't know how to reward you! Xiao Jingcong also seemed a little excited, and her speech became incoherent.

Yan Zixi next to her was amused and laughed, "Jing Cong, if you want to praise me, praise me!" I'm not going to be proud, but as for the reward......"

Yan Zixi's jade finger tapped her chin, and then said with a smile: "Hmm...... I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll tell you when I do! ”

"Hmph, you ghost, I don't know what bad idea you're fighting again!"

"Hey, I said Jingcong, what do you mean by that?! What do you call me to fight a bad idea? Where did I get a bad idea? Yan Zixi crossed her hands on her hips and said unconvinced.

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, and gently scraped the bridge of Yan Zixi's nose, "Okay, I'll be joking with you for my husband!" Let's go, let's go back! ”

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong led Yan Zixi down from the mountain and got into the carriage parked at the foot of the mountain again.

However, because it was still raining lightly outside, the speed of the carriage was not very fast.

In the carriage.

Yan Zixi snuggled in Xiao Jingcong's arms and unconsciously drilled into it.

Xiao Jingcong gently stroked Yan Zixi's hair, lowered her head and whispered something, which made Yan Zixi laugh frequently.

But just as the two were talking and laughing, the carriage suddenly vibrated and almost flipped on its side.

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly protected Yan Zixi in front of him, and then shouted angrily at the carriage outside.

"Uncle Chen, what's going on?"

The groom named Uncle Chen immediately shouted anxiously: "The young general, Princess Xiao, is not in a good situation, this horse ...... All of a sudden, the horse is out of control! ”

"What?!"

Xiao Jingcong was shocked when he heard this, if he continued to let the horses run wild, it would be a matter of time before the carriage rolled over.

What's more, this area is full of mountain roads, and once you turn over to the bottom of the cliff, the consequences are unimaginable.

Xiao Jingcong gritted her teeth, comforting Yan Zixi and telling him not to worry, while thinking of a way to prepare to jump out of the carriage with Yan Zixi in her arms.

However, before Xiao Jingcong could come up with a complete method, the wheels of the carriage suddenly hit a big rock, and the carriage fell down with a "boom".

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly protected Yan Zixi, hugged Yan Zixi tightly in his arms, and then touched the ground with his back, otherwise Yan Zixi would be hurt a little.

Even so, Xiao Jingcong immediately shouted anxiously at the accompanying guards next to him. The whole book

"Quick! Save the princess! ”

When everyone heard this, they helped Yan Zixi up, and Yan Zixi recovered from the thrilling scene just now.

Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was still lying in the puddle, Yan Zixi hurriedly pounced, and asked with a worried face: "Jingcong, how are you, Jingcong, are you injured?" ”

Xiao Jingcong squeezed out a wry smile with difficulty, and said to Yan Zixi very reluctantly: "Don't worry, Xi'er, I'm fine." What about you? Are you okay, not hurt anywhere? ”

Yan Zixi shook her head, ignoring the light rain in the sky, and slowly helped Xiao Jingcong up from the ground, at this time Yan Zixi found that Xiao Jingcong had just fallen to the ground with his back in order to save himself, and his back had been knocked out of the slightest trace of blood by those stones!

"I'm really fine, Xi'er, don't worry."

Yan Zixi noticed that cold sweat broke out on Xiao Jingcong's forehead, obviously holding on, how could Yan Zixi not know?

Yan Zixi hurriedly asked the guards to send Xiao Jingcong to a nearby tile shed to shelter from the rain, and she had to check Xiao Jingcong's injuries first.

Xiao Jingcong smiled bitterly, waved his hand and responded: "Xi'er, you don't need to check for me, it really doesn't matter......"

"No, Jingcong, you listen to me, let me check it out for you!"

Saying that, Yan Zixi didn't care whether Xiao Jingcong wanted it or not, so she ordered those guards to forcibly help Xiao Jingcong to the shed and sit down.

Yan Zixi walked over and untied Xiao Jingcong's shirt, and couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the blood marks on his back that were hit by stones. She found a clean towel, fetched some water, and gently cleaned the wound on Xiao Jingcong's back, if it was infected, it would be troublesome......

"Jingcong, what do you think? Does it hurt? ”

Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly and said indifferently: "It doesn't hurt, Xi'er, as long as you're not injured!" ”

"Jingcong, you are such a fool, you still protect me so much in such a dangerous situation? Don't know how to protect yourself? If you hit a rock in the back of your head, ......"

"Xi'er, you are also in such a dangerous situation, it is impossible for a husband to watch you suffer danger and ignore it!"

"But ......"

Yan Zixi wanted to say something, but tears had already accumulated in her eyes......

Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi was about to cry, and hurriedly reached out and held Yan Zixi's little hand tightly, trying to calm Yan Zixi down, and said even more blame in her mouth.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I almost hurt you......"

"Jingcong, what do you say! It's an emergency, how can I blame you?! What's more, in order to save me and protect me, you have made yourself covered in bruises......" Yan Zixi hurriedly shook her head and said.

Xiao Jingcong's face became deep, and she said to Yan Zixi leisurely: "Xi'er, did you just say that this is an emergency?" ”

"Hmm...... How? Do you suspect that someone is doing something wrong?! Yan Zixi asked in surprise when she heard this.

"The carriage of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, all the horses are good horses left after thousands of selections, with amazing endurance and docile temperament...... It's absolutely impossible to run crazy for no reason! Xiao Jingcong swore and said.

Yan Zixi frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Jingcong, what do you mean ......?"

"Someone must have secretly intervened to frighten the horse, so he galloped all the way and overturned the carriage......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingcong got dressed again, got up and was about to go out.

Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong had just been injured and was about to go out again, so she hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Wang, your injury is not healed yet, and it is raining outside, so you can't go out again!" ”

"Xi'er, I'll go to the place where the incident happened just now to investigate, if someone really stumbles and secretly obstructs, there will definitely be any clues left at the scene, don't move around here, I'll go back when I go!"

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong ignored Yan Zixi's objections, insisted on rushing out of the tent, rode a fast horse and looked for the place where the carriage had just overturned.

"Jing Cong ......"

Looking at Xiao Jingcong's back as she disappeared into the rain, Yan Zixi frowned, and was faintly worried in her heart.

When Xiao Jingcong arrived at the scene of the accident, he searched for the horse's footprints all the way back, and the place where the horse was frightened should be the place where the carriage suddenly shook violently.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong dismounted, lowered his head and carefully returned along the road.

Just as Xiao Jingcong was investigating, an invisible murderous aura suddenly came from all directions.

By the time Xiao Jingcong turned around, Xiao Jingcong's retreat had been blocked by a group of killers wearing hats and robes.

The killers were armed with scimitars in their hands and a curved bow behind their backs, all of them were extraordinary, and they seemed to be well-trained dead soldiers.

"It's you guys who disturbed the king's horses?"

Xiao Jingcong asked in a deep voice, but the people on the other side did not answer.

"Say, who sent you?"
