These words are too much for anything in the world. For example, this rainstorm is now falling in the Hejian area. It was supposed to be a timely rain to alleviate the drought, and all the people rejoiced. But if it keeps going, it will become a disaster.

A few more days of rain may not be much of a difference elsewhere. But the topography between the rivers is somewhat different. Except for one mountain, there is a mountain of Taiyue, and all other places are gentle areas, which are extremely prone to disasters. And what is even more serious is that there is a big river on the Qianli Plain, and the mighty river is flowing through it.

After turning the last bend, the section of the river that flows through here is the widest part. After many years of continuous heightening and reinforcement, the water surface on both sides of the embankment has already risen much above the ground, and if it bursts, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Over the years, this has not happened for a long time. Each time it has caused deep suffering to the local population. For this reason, during the rainy season in summer and autumn, it has become the most important task of county officials to pay attention to strict precautions at all times.

The emperor's chariot was stranded in the river, and the brigade was stationed in Luoyang City, unable to do anything for several days. Hejian was too guarded to organize a large number of capable forces to inspect the river embankment day and night, especially near the mouth of the golden embankment, which was the most prone to the situation, and mobilized thousands of people, and then simply sent his partial general to lead a group of men and horses to camp there, and everyone could not wait for half a minute.

At this juncture, you can't make a mistake! If there is an accident, don't say that the emperor is still in Luoyang City, it will only be the people who will suffer, and all the local officials will not be able to escape the blame.

Looking at the non-stop rain outside, Cheng Buzhi finally couldn't sit still in the general's mansion. He led many officials to Jindikou in the rain, and he wanted to see for himself whether there would be danger here, so that he could rest assured.

To their surprise, it wasn't as chaotic as they thought. Although the atmosphere was also tense, everything was in order and the embankment was unharmed. Everyone was relieved. The partial general, who heard that the general had come in person, hurriedly ran over to greet him, and Cheng Buzhi gave a few words of praise to show encouragement. But I saw that this man from the local area scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"It's been a dangerous few days, and I've almost been swept away by the flood several times...... Thanks to the personal command of the Marquis Yuan, the breach was blocked with wooden fences and sandbags, so there was no danger ....... ”

"Which ...... Yuanhou?"

Cheng Buzhi raised his head in some shock, and for a while he didn't understand who the general was talking about. Others were also ignorant. The general hurriedly pointed to the figure in the distance who was about to walk into a tent and said.

"Ah, that's him, Yuanhou...... Several people around him called him that, and they heard that they were ...... from Chang'an with the emperor's car. ”

Although he couldn't see clearly through the rain curtain, Cheng Buzhi immediately knew who the general was talking about. His face changed, and he finally didn't walk over, just lowered his head and put on his robe again, and said a word lightly.

"He is Changle Hou Yuanzhao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty."

Everyone was dumbfounded. The general's eyes widened even more, his face full of disbelief. In the past two or three days, the young man who has been staying on the Jindikou with mud and water like everyone else is the world-famous Yuan Zhao? He felt a stirring in his heart, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Yuan Zhao walked into his tent and took off his mud-stained coat. Several Hou Mansion attendants who followed him from Chang'an had already prepared warm water and clean clothes for him, and hurriedly helped him clean up. In fact, Yuan Zhao has never been accustomed to being served by others, but they have been specially instructed by the two ladies to take care of their own marquis's diet and life, and they will never slack off. Yuan Zhao had no choice but to go by them.

The embankment of the Yellow River in this era was relatively rudimentary. Fortunately, the river is not as dangerous as it was later. But there is no carelessness at all. According to his observations in Jindikou in the past few days, this place is indeed in need of major repairs. Otherwise, even if you barely survive the danger this time, sooner or later there will be a big problem. In this case, he planned to go to the Taishou Mansion to talk about it after returning to the city, so that Cheng Buzhi would pay attention to it. If it is possible to follow the plan he has designed, he is willing to provide the greatest help, which is the duty of a ruler, and it is his duty.

A good sign is that the rain should be about to stop. Under the desert clouds, the sky has already shown the whiteness of the fish's belly. Although he did not know the mystical knowledge of the clouds, he could also tell the signs that the rain was about to stop based on what he knew.

Hearing his own marquis say this, the attendants were naturally convinced. They have never seen whether there are immortals in this world, but in their eyes, Yuan Zhao has long been regarded as an existence that is not like mortals. It's been so hard these days, Hou Ye can finally go back to the city and have a good rest.

Sure enough, in the early afternoon, the heavy rain stopped as soon as it was said. Although the weather was still gloomy and drizzling, it was no longer a major problem. Before Yuan Zhao returned to Luoyang City, he seriously told the deputy general who was guarding here. Although there is no major danger in the dangerous section of Jindikou at present, it has formed a great hidden danger after high-speed water level immersion and scouring these days. It is still necessary to guard it here, and only after collecting materials and manpower for thorough reinforcement and repair, can you evacuate with confidence.

The general and all the soldiers and civilians were respectful and obedient. Ever since knowing the true identity of this young man, no one could fail to respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

It's just that after returning to Luoyang City, it seems that Yuan Zhao will not have much time to rest. Zuo Neishi Ni Kuan came and said that there was a major matter that needed to be discussed with the prime minister. Although Yuan Zhao was a little tired, it was not easy to refuse.

"Yuanhou, after the rain today, some mountain people came to report that auspicious clouds appeared in the Qianlongling area of Taiyue Mountain, which is really a good omen! After I went to show His Majesty, His Majesty was overjoyed and specially ordered me to consult with the Marquis of Yuan to see what to do with it. ”

Ni Kuan's face was full of excitement, and he explained his intention directly. Yuan Zhao stared at him, looking confused, not understanding what he meant.

"Xiangrui...... Daji? Hehe! What is that? How I haven't seen it. ”

Yuan Zhao's tone was indifferent, Ni Kuan was stunned, and scolded secretly in his heart, but he remained silent, and his face was still overjoyed.

"Yuanhou is not strange, but this is a complaint that I am too impatient. Oh, that's right, just after the heavy rain in the afternoon stopped, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the Taiyue Mountain, and on the hill under the rainbow, someone saw a five-colored divine beast appearing, according to the description of the people who saw it, this beast looked very peculiar, with a large white body, a single horn on the top of its head, and it was full of colors...... After His Majesty summoned the following doctors, Tai Shiling and others to inquire, everyone thought that this should be the legendary Qilin. Your Majesty has arrived here, and there is such a rare divine beast appearing, so this is a great sign of Fu Rui! Haha, does Yuanhou understand now? ”

Yuan Zhao nodded. Under Ni Kuan's dancing explanation, he finally understood this time. But he couldn't help laughing secretly, the emperor and these ministers like these tricks, it seems that it is difficult to change.

"It's supposed to be a deer......?"

"Yuanhou ...... That's not a deer! It's a divine beast unicorn! ”

"Where in the world are there any mythical beasts? It's just an ordinary deer. ”

How can this be...... Yuanhou must not blaspheme! His Majesty has made it clear that he wants to capture this divine beast and bring it back to Chang'an to be raised in Shanglin Yuan to bless the stability of the country. The reason why Your Majesty asked us to consult was that we should find a way to capture it alive. Yuanhou, don't talk nonsense! ”

Ni Kuan pretended to be angry. He originally had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid that Yuan Zhao would see through it, so although he tried his best to hide it, he still inevitably felt a little weak.

Actually, Yuan Zhao didn't think of anything else. He was just laughing casually. Since it is the emperor's intention, it is better to satisfy his heart that yearns for the gods. It's just a trivial matter to go up the mountain to catch a strange-looking deer. But I just took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Taiyue Mountain, so as not to be depressed in Luoyang City.

"Zoneshi-sama doesn't have to be like this. What's so hard about that? Tomorrow we will mobilize people to go to the Taiyue Mountains together and take that deer ...... Oh, it's a mythical beast! Just grab it. Ha ha! ”

"So good! Then the matter is settled. There are some rituals related to welcoming the divine beasts, which still need to be prepared. I'll go back and make arrangements now, and we'll leave for Mount Taiyue early tomorrow morning." Don't forget it! Such a matter of great importance still needs to be presided over by you personally...... Hehe! ”

Zuo Nei Shi Ni Kuan got Yuan Zhao's personal assurance, and then left with peace of mind. Hearing this, Li Ling and several people hurriedly gathered around, with a very enthusiastic look on their faces, and they didn't ask that they wanted to follow and see something new. However, Yuan Zhao looked at the appearance of them covered in wounds, and immediately shook his head and refused, without the slightest room for negotiation. Let's stay here well, if you want to go out on horseback and toss, take care of your injuries first.

The three teenagers were dejected, and there was nothing to think about. Yuan Zhao laughed, but didn't pay attention to them. He was also worried about the hidden dangers of Jindikou, and when he sent people to Taishou Mansion, he was told that Cheng Buzhi was organizing the people to arrange an event to go to the Taiyue Mountain Temple to thank Yu tomorrow, and now he had no time to meet him. Yuan Zhao sighed helplessly, this matter had to be talked about later.

For the people of Hejian, since the rain has relieved the drought, it is necessary to go to the solemn thanksgiving. Although it almost caused waterlogging, this cannot be blamed. This is a long-standing folk custom, and it is also an extremely pious psychological sustenance.

However, Cheng Buzhi didn't have time to meet him, but he had time to meet another person. Soon after, Zuo Nei Shi Ni Kuan walked into the General's Mansion.

Tomorrow's trip to Taiyue Mountain has already been assassinated!
