Chapter 146: It's a Temptation
The gravel and dirt beside the embankment loosened again and surged towards the nearby villages.
Those villages had already been flooded once, and then they were hit again, and I am afraid that there is really no way to continue to live there.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong gritted his teeth and immediately ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and let the refugees who haven't evacuated the village leave!" ”
"Yes!"
Chen Xianling also walked over with his tail wagging at this time, and said with a flattering face.
"Lord Xiao, you see that the rain is so heavy, let's go back and take shelter from the rain first. It's better to hand it over to the lower officials here, although Prince Xiao can rest assured, the lower officials will definitely fulfill their duties, and they will definitely not let the flood expand and affect more innocent villagers! ”
Hmph, if you really had the heart, you would never have gotten into this situation!
Xiao Jingcong thought to himself in his heart, but it would be useless to continue to stay now.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong said in a deep voice: "Chen County Order, I hope you can take the lives of the people to heart. This flood will be monitored by the king to the end! ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingcong waved his sleeves and hurried down the mountain with his own people.
After Xiao Jingcong left, Chen Xianling glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "Hmph, Lord Xiao, you are invincible in the war!" But fight with me, and I'll see what you can do to find out the truth! ”
At this time, an extraordinary official next to Chen Xianling also came over and whispered, "Lord Chen, it's better not to take it lightly." The master has already sent a secret report, saying that it is for Lord Chen to quickly destroy all the evidence, kill people and kill people, don't let this matter involve the master! ”
"Hmph, don't be surprised, this official already has a perfect countermeasure, even if you let that Xiao Wang Ye check, you will definitely not find any clues!"
Saying that, Chen Xian Ling laughed coldly, although that Xiao Wang Ye looked very alert, in fact, it was just that.
On the surface, he is fair and honest, but he is not a raccoon dog, and his face remains unchanged when he accepts his treasures.
From that moment on, Chen Xianling knew that this Xiao Wang Ye was just like that, just to show the people in the palace.
However, the official frowned slightly, and reminded on the side: "But the master has explained, you must not let Prince Xiao investigate any clues, and finally let him die in the line of duty......"
When Chen Xianling heard this, he waved his hand solemnly, "Don't worry!" Shooting now will only startle the snake. What's more, there are many masters around Xiao Wangye, and they are not so easy to deal with. As you saw that night, this has to be considered in the long run. What's more, Prince Xiao has already accepted the treasure sent by the official, so don't worry too much......"
"But my lord, now is a good time. Xiao Wang Ye was injured in the sword, and now the injury has not healed, and his skill is not as good as before, if we send a killer with high martial arts, while he is alone, maybe he can really succeed! ”
When Chen Xianling heard the words of the officer, the corners of his mouth also hooked up with a sneer.
"Well, what you said is true."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xianling walked to the side of the officer, patted the officer's shoulder meaningfully, and then said slowly: "That's it, this matter is called to be handed over to you, remember to do it cleanly, don't show any horses' feet, even if you fail, you must not let Xiao Wang Ye find out that you are a person from the yamen!" ”
"Yes! Subordinates understand. The officer's eyes were like snakes and scorpions, and he smiled cruelly, and then retired and left.
Chen Xianling turned around and continued to look at the village that had been swallowed up by the flood at the foot of the mountain, and then said leisurely: "The dam said that the embankment will burst, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!" The disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court has not been issued for a long time, and the palace is also powerless......"
said that Chen Xianling pretended to be sad, as if he was deliberately acting to someone.
……
Xiao Jingcong hurriedly returned to the inn, thinking about things all the way, so it wasn't until the inn that he noticed a trace of abnormality.
"What people, come out quickly!"
As soon as Xiao Jingcong's words fell, a beautiful shadow slowly walked out from behind the screen.
Xiao Jingcong raised his eyes and glanced at the man, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
The person who came was none other than Su Xuerou, the woman of unknown origin whom Xiao Jingcong saved in the past.
Isn't Su Xuerou supposed to be in the Zhenguo General now, why did she appear in this place?
Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and then asked, "Miss Xuerou, why are you here?" ”
While asking, Xiao Jingcong scolded the guards outside the door: "Who sent Miss Xuerou here?" ”
When the guards heard Xiao Jingcong's question, they immediately replied respectfully: "General Hui, it was sent by the guards in Princess Xiao's mansion." ”
"What? Was it sent by Xi'er? When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she was immediately a little confused, Xi'er was very worried that she was too close to this Su Xuerou, and she had quarreled and scolded for this matter, how could she suddenly take the initiative to send Su Xuerou over alone?
There is a scam and a scam?!
Isn't it testing the king's concentration?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong asked the guard again: "What else did the princess explain?" ”
"Back to the general, Princess Xiao said that Miss Su Xuerou was a refugee here before, and she is very familiar with the terrain in this nearby area, so she may be able to come in handy!"
I see!
Xiao Jingcong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Yan Zixi again in her heart.
This Xi'er really has a lot of ghost ideas, and she can think so thoughtfully...... Hot Spot Library
No, no, no, according to this king, Xi'er must have a second meaning, that is, she is deliberately testing this king!
It seems that he has to behave well, and he can't let Xi'er look flat.
Xiao Jingcong pondered for a moment, then raised his head and commanded Su Xuerou in front of him.
"Miss Xuerou, it's raining heavily outside, you better stay for the time being, and when the rain stops tomorrow, we'll go out to investigate together!"
"Yes! Everything is sent by the king! ”
Xiao Jingcong nodded, and then asked the guards to take Su Xuerou out and book a room for her again.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Su Xuerou bowed, and this time she walked past Xiao Jingcong with a lotus step, twisting her waist, and bringing a burst of fragrant wind.
If it weren't for Xiao Jingcong's concentration being strong enough and changing to an ordinary man, I'm afraid I would have to fall under her pomegranate skirt, right?
……
In the palace of the general of Zhenguo.
Yan Zixi was talking to Xiaomei to relieve her boredom at this time, and when Xiaomei knew that Yan Zixi had sent Su Xuerou to the inn and was alone with Xiao Jingcong, Xiaomei immediately frowned and shouted.
"Oh, princess, you are so confused!"
Yan Zixi was confused, she didn't know what Xiaomei meant, and asked in confusion: "Xiaomei, what's wrong?" ”
"Princess, how can you send Su Xuerou to the prince?" Xiaomei was so anxious that she couldn't say anything.
"Why can't you send it?"
"Princess, it's not that the slave maid can't trust the prince, it's just that the slave and maid see that Su Xuerou is a natural fox spirit, maybe how to seduce the prince! If something really happens, the princess, you can ......" Xiaomei didn't finish her words, it meant that she had already understood the meaning again.
When Yan Zixi heard this, she didn't care at all, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Don't worry, if it's really like what you said, it can only prove that this princess is wrong." If Jing Cong really fails me, I will not stay by his side, I will choose to fulfill him! ”
Yan Zixi said what she said in her heart, if the two people are not really in love, if they don't love each other, even if they are reluctantly together, they will not be happy.
"No, princess, the slave is worried that Su Xuerou is uneasy and kind......"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, not to mention that this princess also sent Mo Yun to secretly monitor and protect her."
"It turns out that you have already made a foolproof plan, princess?" Hearing this, Xiaomei finally understood why Yan Zixi was not in a hurry, it turned out that her eyeliner had already passed.
Xiaomei patted her chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
……
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Jingcong took Su Xuerou back to the house together.
As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion, Xiao Jingcong went straight to the bedroom, and happened to bump into Yan Zixi and Xiaomei talking about something, "You go on! I just had such a good conversation, why didn't I make a noise when I saw this king coming back? Xiao Jingcong walked in with a smile, glanced at Yan Zixi and Xiaomei and asked.
Xiaomei bowed, and then obediently exited the room, leaving Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi a time to be alone, after all, they hadn't seen each other all night.
Yan Zixi was secretly happy when she saw Xiao Jingcong coming back, but she pretended to be careless on her face.
She gently put down the collection of Da Xiao poems in her hand, and then asked Xiao Jingcong: "Jingcong, is the water control going smoothly?" The Cheryl girl I sent over should come in handy, right? ”
"Hmph, Xi'er, you're deliberately testing this king, right? But fortunately, you sent Miss Xuerou here, and you really did the king a great favor! ”
"That's good! It would be nice to be able to help you. ”
"What, you're not jealous?"
"Don't eat it!"
"Don't want to know what happened last night?"
"I don't want to!"
At the end, Yan Zixi smiled again and said, "If the prince wants to say it, he will tell Xi'er." ”
"You little clever ghost!" Xiao Jingcong gently poked Yan Zixi's forehead, and then hugged Yan Zixi in her arms and honestly explained to her what happened last night and today.
After Yan Zixi listened, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Xi'er, I've already told you, aren't you happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's really weird!"
"What's weird?"
Yan Zixi paused slightly, and then said the doubts in her heart: "Jingcong, don't you think that Chen County Order is very suspicious?" ”
"Oh, tell me, what's suspicious about him?" Xiao Jingcong was interested and asked.
