The rain inside and outside Chang'an City has no intention of stopping. The garrisons outside the city and the people of the three counties were mobilized, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians patrolled the defense day and night, lest an unpredictable disaster occur.

In the face of an urgent situation, no one dares to slack off. Because everyone understands that they are doing their best to protect not only the interests of the country, but also the vital interests of every family and every individual.

The prosperity and stability of the world did not come about out of thin air. It took the hard work and efforts of countless people. No one wants to see it destroyed by a natural disaster, let alone the fruits that are about to be harvested washed away by a flood.

Thanks to the united efforts of the military and civilians, the losses suffered by the entire Guanhan Plain so far have not been large. Although there are occasional house collapses and missing people, the overall situation is stable and does not develop into an uncontrollable situation.

After a few days, the rain finally lightened. The water level of several turbulent rivers began to gradually stabilize, and the court officials and people who waited day and night finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was full of confidence that as long as they held on for a while longer, they would be able to achieve the final victory.

However, natural disasters can be prevented, but man-made disasters are unpredictable. No one thought that a catastrophe more terrible than the flood would suddenly come suddenly.

The waves are raging, and the killing machine is suddenly rising! Infighting, forever the grave of heroes!

Located in Lantian County, outside Chang'an, the Longshou Canal is the most important water conservancy project that directly communicates the Weihe River water system and irrigates farmland on a large scale. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong here, the Lantian County Commander has been leading the whole class to keep an eye on this place day and night. And several important ministers of the imperial court are on duty in turn, afraid that there will be any accidents here.

And the person who is here today is the final army in charge of the Great Han Division's Captain's Mansion.

At this time, the final army is in its prime. His heart was full of vigorous passion, and like many others, he was excited about the upcoming centennial ceremony of the Han Empire.

Life is short, and it is easy to grow old. Born fortunate and prosperous. What a hard thing to find in three lifetimes! Especially people like him, who have contributed their strength to the prosperity and growth of this powerful empire in the past years, are deeply gratified and honored.

The final army, who has had the world in mind since he was a teenager, is ready to pay his passion for the country again. Ever since he had been on an envoy to Xizhou three years ago and had a few all-night talks with Yuan Zhao, he had agreed to shoulder that difficult responsibility.

"Since ancient times, there have been countless changes of dynasties. Success or failure is fleeting...... Even if it was as powerful as the Great Qin Empire, it would soon perish. This cycle of rise and fall seems to have no end. And the root of all this is not in the will of heaven, but in the rule of man! Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people also suffer...... Perhaps, only by truly realizing the equality of the rule of law within the world can we do our best to eliminate these disasters inflicted on ourselves by human beings...... Long-term peace and stability is a great responsibility. I hope that in this important battlefield in the future, Brother Ziyun can help me! ”

After returning to Chang'an, he remembered what Yuan Zhao had said to him in those late nights, and he didn't dare to forget a word. The final army knew deeply that Yuan Zhaojiang was about to start the realization in the entire Han territory

The metaphor of "equality under the rule of law" is not an exaggeration at all. The difficulties and obstacles in this can be imagined.

And Yuan Zhao entrusted him with this task, which was enough to show his absolute trust. Remembering that Yuan Zhao had expounded on the great significance that winning this war would bring to the entire country, the final army felt that time was running out. He has to race against the clock and prepare everything in advance.

Yuan Zhao has embarked on the journey back to Chang'an. Before he returns, the final army must systematically improve the original laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, add and delete supplements, and strive to achieve the spirit and essence of the law as Yuan Zhao said.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy task. But in the end, the army had no regrets, and paid countless days and nights for it. Even on the Longshou Canal in the pouring rain, he did not let go of the work at hand. There are still the last few volumes to be completed, and he very much hopes that when Yuan Zhao returns to Chang'an, he can fully affirm it. Then whether it is the land under his feet, the future of the people in the world, or the trust of his confidant, he can get inner relief.

When the rain finally subsided, the final army and the Lantian County Commander walked out of the tent that temporarily sheltered from the rain, and took his subordinates and attendants to inspect the water level above and below the Longshou Canal again.

"Back then, Yuan Gong and Lord Ji led 100,000 people in three counties to dig this Longshou Canal. Over the years, drought prevention and disaster relief, and flood mitigation have provided a great guarantee for hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in the vicinity. It can be said that it is a great achievement! ”

The Lantian County Commander is a good magistrate who is conscientious and responsible. Seeing that this time the flood season has been passed safely, there should be no more major disasters. While he took a long breath, his tone couldn't help but contain a lot of emotion.

"Could it be...... Did the prefectural magistrate also participate in the incident? ”

The final army in a robe, looking at the group of people walking in the distance, he casually asked the Lantian County Order. The embankment is a little narrow, and the dozen or so people who are covered in mud and water with their trouser legs are obviously part of the many people who keep the safety on the embankment day and night. The Final Army has a lot of respect for these people. He turned slightly sideways to make way for them to avoid an accident if someone stumbled and skidped.

"Of course! Hou Ye didn't know, thinking that I was just an ordinary secretary in the government office. Although he can't make any great efforts, he doesn't dare to fall behind in such things as carrying tea and delivering food and inspiring people! The scene was in full swing back then, and it's still exciting to think about it now! Hou Ye, look at the place where we are standing under our feet now, is a section that Yuan Gong personally excavated. At that time, he was just a teenager...... More than 20 years in the flick of a finger, hehe! It's really embarrassing! ”

The Lantian County Commander said to the final army in a tone full of emotion, while turning his head to look at the people who walked to his side and passed by, but their faces were a little unfamiliar, not like the people under his rule. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and was about to open my mouth to greet them. Mutation, that's when it happened!

The sparse raindrops hit the coat, and there was a faint sound of thunder rolling in the depths of the dark clouds overhead. The smile on the face of the final army had not disappeared yet, and with the lightning, he suddenly saw a deadly edge in his eyes!

The person who was less than half a foot away from the final army suddenly pulled out his short knife and stabbed him directly

to his chest. And almost at the same time, the dozen or so people flashed their swords from under their robes and pounced on them from all directions. Their goal is just to kill someone!

No one expected that there would be assassins in such a place. Everything happened in a lightning flash. Not only did the surrounding attendants, the Lantian County Commander, and those people in the county government not have time to react, but even the final army himself would never expect that someone would come to take his life in this situation.

Instinctively, the Finale dodged the fatal stab in his chest sideways as he reached for his sword. However, the bulky cloak he wore hindered his ability to draw his sword and slowed his body's reactions. And at this moment, this is undoubtedly a fatal mistake!

When he drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted angrily to defend against the enemy, a long sword stabbed from the left side had already been mercilessly inserted into his left ribs, and the three-foot green edge was almost handleless. It is enough to see the viciousness and hatred of the killer.

The final army swung out a sword, injuring two people in a row. However, in a moment, his face was already pale, his arm hung down weakly, he returned his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword that passed through his body, sat down on the ground, and laughed miserably.

"I don't want to die at the hands of the erector today...... Providence?! ”

At this time, the surrounding attendants and those people in the county government finally reacted. In a fit of rage, they drew their weapons and fought with the Assassins. However, those men had a clear aim, and when they saw the final sword fall to the ground, they whistled and did not fight, but escaped into the surrounding bushes, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Lantian County Ling fell to the ground with a pale face and hugged the final army tightly. It's just that in an instant, this pillar of the imperial court, who was still in high spirits just now, has a face like gold paper, and his breath is short.

"Master Hou......! We immediately went to Chang'an to treat the wounded ....... ”

Lantian County was shocked, frightened and grieved. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen next if the final army really died here.

"Don't move...... Don't be afraid, it's not a business...... It's too late...... Listen to me. In the tent over there, I kept all the books I had left behind...... After I died, I immediately returned to Chang'an, handed them all over to Sima Changqing, and then handed them over to him when Yuan recalled him soon...... Oh, and this one, I'm almost done...... ...... together, too Together...... Don't forget! ”

Suddenly, he remembered something, reached into his bosom with his trembling hand, and took out the last volume of the law he had written, half of which was bloodstained, which was particularly dazzling. But it was already stained red with blood gushing from his wounds.

The Lantian County Order and all the people who came over were extremely sad. With tears in his eyes, he reached out to take the blood-stained paperwork, but nodded heavily, but could no longer speak.

The raindrops hit his face unusually cool, and Junjun took a deep breath of air. The sword was in his body, draining his blood, and taking away the opportunity of life little by little. Thirty fame, dust and earth, a big dream turned empty! Fortunately, he has worked hard for the Han Empire and the Chinese nation, and he can be regarded as living up to his life.

"It's just...... After all, it's a bit of a pity that I didn't see that day with you...... Yuan Zhao, Sima Changqing, Dongfang Manqian...... And Your Majesty! Goodbye ....... ”
