The night of Chang'an is very quiet, and when the lights of thousands of homes are extinguished, the dream of most sentient beings is just how to earn a few more baht tomorrow to support their families.

Ordinary life is destined not to have too many waves, birth, old age, sickness and death, plain and bland, to the end, children and grandchildren around the knee, listen to a few other people's legends, sigh the joys and sorrows.

But those who shoulder the mission naturally cannot be so idle. For example, under the headlights of the Changle Marquis's mansion, there are still people sketching and making some complicated budgets.

The sisters of the Leng family, who were really sleepy next to them, had been sent back to sleep. They felt sorry for their little marquis who stayed up all night, and every time they made a delicious supper for him, and watched him finish quietly by the side.

Although the messy patterns were dizzying to look at, they couldn't understand them at all. But every time they cleaned up, the sisters were full of piety and worship in their hearts, whether it was the words written by the little marquis or some sketches drawn, they all put them away seriously, put them in the bookcase, and took care of them in an orderly manner. Every time Yuan Zhao wanted to find something, they could find it for him accurately, saving a lot of time. With such two cute and cute "little secretaries" by his side, sometimes I think about it, the Yuan Church will steal the joy for a long time.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, those of them who came out of the Changle Palace could never go back, and they completely became the people of the Hou Mansion. Not only them, but Xiuyu and more than a dozen of his old brothers also went to Changle Plateau after coming out of Changle Palace. This was Yuan Zhao's first request for them in front of the emperor.

The little marquis is a nostalgic person, and the gratitude in everyone's hearts goes without saying, they are all temperamental, so there is no need to say more, leave it for later.

There was some rare starlight tonight, and the rain stopped for a few days. The light shadow was a little dim, and Yuan Zhao came closer in order to finish the final drawing of the new channel of the Yellow River.

A few days ago, the Yellow River finally released flood from its north bank, relieving the precarious situation. This was a decision made by the emperor when he understood the whole situation and was angry. As for what kind of battle has gone through behind this, Yuan Zhao doesn't think much about it.

Just because he doesn't think about it doesn't mean he doesn't know. The hidden swords and shadows are not much inferior to the battlefield. The minister sent by the emperor was given the sword of the Son of Heaven, and even mobilized the garrisons of the local counties, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-and-death contest.

As the initiator, he will become the target of many powerful people's hatred, and he naturally knows it. After many good words and persuasions, I smiled faintly, and thanked each other, but I will still do what I should do. Some words, such as choking in the throat, do not vomit unpleasantly. It's a little difficult, knowing that it's dangerous, even though tens of millions of people are blocking it, you have to do it!

The new sections of the Yellow River waterway, he roughly sketched according to the direction in his memory. The shape of the embankment is designed in an inverted triangular trapezoidal shape to facilitate the passage of turbulent water, increase the erosion of sediment on the river bottom, and minimize sediment sedimentation. Although Yuan Zhao is not an expert in this area, he still understands this bit of common sense.

The officials who were the prisoners of the Han Dynasty were sent by the emperor to supervise the matter in an all-round way, and when they read the drawings drawn by Yuan Zhao in the early stage and listened to his brief introduction, they were already impressed. If the Yellow River can really be transformed according to what Changle Hou said, after the completion of the project, this great river that has been harmed for many years can be safeguarded for hundreds of years! For the welfare of the people and for the benefit of the future, this is a major event that will be engraved in history, and the courtiers who were sent to participate in this matter all feel honored and honored!

Personnel were dispatched, materials were raised, financial resources were sufficient, everything was in full swing, and the battle of the Yellow River had begun. Yuan Zhao believes that before the first winter snow arrives, the blueprint of the great river he planned can be completely realized.

Doing these things made him feel very fulfilled in his heart. In this era, I have been here, I exist, and when I leave again, I will eventually leave something behind, which will be deeply remembered on this land.

When he reached out to the wine jug, wanting to take a sip of wine and calm his mood, a wisp of cold wind swept in from the window, and with a soft "snap", the small glass wine jug was broken, and a small sleeve arrow fell on the table.

Yuan Zhao sighed helplessly, either knocking over this or breaking that, this is not the first time. When he looked back, the figure was flashing through the window.

At the end of the sleeve arrow, which still has a faint body fragrance, there is a small cloth roll, and when you open it, Juanxiu's eight words "The coming day is a big disaster, so do it yourself!" ”

"Brother Jiu, why does the daughter of the King of Huainan always come to disturb the little marquis? It's been three or four times a month, and I've fired hidden weapons! No, you must stop her this time, what if you hurt the little marquis! ”

In the dark shadow in the corner, it was a guard named Yuan Fourteen who spoke, and he complained to Yuan Jiu beside him in a low voice, and was about to jump out and block the woman's way.

Yuan Jiuyi grabbed him and glared at him secretly: "What's the matter!" If you don't understand these things, the little marquis will handle it himself. Besides, fourteenth brother, think about it, who in this world can hurt our little marquis! ”

Hearing Brother Jiu's slightly proud tone, Yuan Shiyi deeply felt the same way, no one knew the skills of the little marquis more profoundly than those around them. But is this really a matter of no concern?

Seeing Yuan Jiu's affirmative nod, the young fourteenth brother didn't say anything more. The two of them disappeared in the darkness and went on their own patrols.

Jumping out of the high wall of the Changle Marquis's Mansion, a woman named Liu Shu walked slowly in the dark night, her face under the veil was slightly hot. At this time, she regretted it a little and rashly came to report to him.

So far, even she herself doesn't understand why she knew that he was in danger when she was an enemy at the beginning, and her first thought was to give him early warning.

Maybe he'll be laughing in his heart? Thinking of the lazy appearance of the young man when dealing with him a few times, Liu Shu was inexplicably angry again, and secretly gritted his silver teeth.

The shadow is lonely, no one knows what is in mind, on Chang'an Street, at the head of the Baizhang Building, Fanghua once bloomed for someone all night. That's all a dream, right......?

A soft sigh sounded in her ears, and without warning, a short blade pierced the night, and the woman's body was like a light goose, swinging her sword and stabbing at the enemy who was close at hand. At the same time, he rose from the ground, stored strength with his right foot, and clasped the two sleeve arrows in his sleeve with his left hand, and the follow-up has prepared three killer moves!

However, in front of the comer, all these stunts seem to be useless. I don't know when the shadow who was standing next to her within a short distance, one hand accurately grabbed her wrist, and with a flick of her fingers, the short sword she stabbed out had already flown away and fell into the dark night on the streets of Chang'an.

When she smelled the breath on that person, Liu Shufang's heart trembled, and the buttoned left hand sleeve arrow could no longer be released, and when her body fell from mid-air, she held back the fluctuations in her heart, barely stood firm, turned her head and left.

"You...... Why bother? Ten paces away, a faint voice came from behind him, with a gentleness different from that of this cool night.

The woman's footsteps stopped, the night wind hunted, blowing and fluttering, her hair lingering around her ears and temples, and her heart was like a mess. When you don't see it, it's secretly sweet, and when you see it, you hate it. She didn't know how she was going to deal with him.

Seeing that she neither spoke nor looked back. Yuan Zhao scratched his head, alas! The absurdity of that night was the first problem he encountered. It was embarrassing, so I had to pretend to be confused.

"County Lord, you knocked over my wine......

"So what? Hum! "It's cold and tsundere.

"But I'm craving to drink tonight!"

"What's the business with me!"

After a moment of silence, the tone changed.

"Hey, at a young age, don't learn well. Why do you want to drink? ”

"Because, I've done another good thing! It's a reward for yourself, okay?"

"Huh! Is that the reason? Alright then, I'll just pay you for the wine! ”

"You...... Do you accompany the wine? County Lord, ...... are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about compensation, you, wine, ah! What do you think? Alas! Forget it, I can't tell you lazy boy. Anyway, Miss Ben is idle and it's okay, so I'll invite you to a bar, it's two clear! ”

"That's right...... Then I am gracious and difficult. Let's go, go to Mingyue Tower, drink the most expensive go! ”

"Get out! It's not a bit positive. I don't know where you got those skills! ”

"Oh, you'll know it slowly, so why be in such a hurry?"

“…… Slippery boy! I really want to cut you with a sword...... Where's my sword? You, you've lost my sword again...... Don't run! ”

"What kind of broken sword is so precious, I'll give you one in a while...... Used to chop melons and vegetables, click together! Yes! It hurts, don't screw people! …… Ahhh ”

The light laughter faded away, disappearing all the way into the distant streets. On this ordinary night, the young man's body and mind felt extremely relaxed, and those distant memories from a long time ago seemed to gradually overlap with the situation in front of him. Anyway, I've been with a few little girls for a long time, and it's not bad to occasionally flirt with Fanghua's peerless royal sister.

On the eaves of Mingyue Tower, the glazed tiles are glowing with faint starlight, Liu Shu actually doesn't know how to drink, the small wine pot in her hand is only a few sips, and her face is already flushed.

“…… All I'm worried about is my father, who is too deeply involved with the other princes. Moreover, you have a grudge against so many courtiers this time. Tian Jue is already planning to deal with you, although I haven't heard their specific discussions. But with such a large force united, you ....... ”

She didn't finish, but the voice was already worried. Yuan Zhao looked at her eyes gently, and under those curved eyebrows, the eyes were clear. In the night wind, the southern "witch" turned out to have such a gentle side.

"It's okay, don't worry. If you have the opportunity, tell the prince what I mean. From now on, don't get involved in anything against the court, that will not end well. There is a path, which I have been thinking about for a long time, that suits his ambitions perfectly. If he's interested in knowing, I'll talk to him in detail. ”

"Why are you so interested in Huainan?" The beautiful woman looked back gently, her head full of green silk slid down her shoulders, and there was charm in her eyes, and there was a scorching light.

"Because...... That, you know...... Our Night...... Hehe! Well, I'll have an explanation. Well, this one will be given to you first, and it can be regarded as a sword that you lost. ”

Lord Liu Shu lowered his head in shame, didn't dare to look at him, took the sheathed short sword handed over by Yuan Zhao, and when he gently pulled it out, he couldn't help but let out a surprised "Huh". The night is as cool as water, the brilliance blooms, the famous sword of spring and autumn, and the half-foot fish intestine ......!
