Chapter 91: The Thunderstorm (I)

Click......!" A thunderclap sounded in the sky, shaking the carved beams and paintings in Bianliang City.

Red, purple, blue, green, orange, gray, lightning streaked across the night sky like a swarm of snakes, shattering the dark night sky. Two lightning bolts each, illuminating the beams in the rainstorm as bright as day. And after each lightning bolt, the whole city fell into deeper darkness, inky black, so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe.

In the lightning and thunder, the figure of Du Zundao, the prime minister of the left, looked particularly gloomy. There were many lights in the room, each one dancing with an orange flame. However, because the study room was too large, the light emitted by these lamps was still not effective in driving out the darkness. So much so that every few steps Du Zundao walked, his body shuttled between light and shadow, looking like a living ghost.

His voice was also cold, faintly revealing a chill, "Where has the right prime minister gone?" Does he still want to come back before the young master's birthday? ”

"Today, at noon, the post station sent a letter saying that it had arrived in Zhongmu. But the Suo River swelled, and several wooden bridges were washed away. Prime Minister Liu's car can't cross the river..."Luo Wensu stepped forward with a hunched waist and responded in a low voice.

"Evil obstacles..."Du Zundao scolded in a low voice, and he didn't know whether to scold the boundless storm outside, or to scold his old partner Liu Futong. What is the flood situation on the Yellow River? Is there a flood downstream? ”

"According to our river patrol sentry inspection, the embankment around Kaifeng Mansion for 200 miles is safe and sound." Luo Wensu thought for a moment and continued to respond in a low voice, "This is all thanks to the diversion of the new river on the north bank. At that time, the Jialuzhi River adopted the strategy of dredging first and then blocking. Half of the water was drained from the north bank, and only then began to repair the old embankment. ”

"Evil obstacles..."Du Zundao scolded again, and continued to pace in the study anxiously.

Liu Futong was hindered by the wind and rain and failed to return to Bianliang on time. Although the autumn flood on the Yellow River is menacing, it cannot help the hundreds of miles of embankment on the south bank. From Bianliang down to Xuzhou, all the gaps of the year have been blocked. It is said that Zhu Chongjiu did not hesitate to use a large amount of cement at the opening. In order to ensure that the Yellow River floods, it will no longer be able to flood the Guide Mansion that originally belonged to Zhao Jun. Now, after a year of reclamation, large fields of wheat have reappeared in the muddy wilderness. In another two years, the wheat fields will be connected, and the Huai'an army will be able to harvest thousands of stone grain...

Once the shortcomings of food are made up, the Huai'an army will completely soar into the sky. No one can stop this trend. Unless, unless God exerts his power again, he uses the flood to wash those farmlands into Zeguo for the second time...

"Click...""Click..."The lightning outside one after another, slashing the beams of the house. Although the guards on duty were all dressed in robes, they were still drenched by the rain, their lips were blue from the cold, and their bodies were shaking like chaff.

In such violent weather, even the beasts would rather hide in the cave and not come out to hunt, but they can't stop the humans from showing their fangs to each other.

Du Zundao soon saw the wolf shape of the guards at the door, rushed out in three steps and two steps, pointed to the centurion on duty and shouted, "Only three or two drops of light rain will drench you like this." How will the old man rely on you to charge into battle in the future? Someone, drag him out for me, and behead him for public display..."

"Spare your life, Prime Minister spare your life!" The hapless centurion did not expect that he could also fall from the sky while standing in the courtyard on duty, so he hurriedly lay down in the muddy water and kowtowed heavily.

But Du Zundao became more and more angry the more he looked at it, and slapped the door frame hard, "Where are the people?" The old man's order, didn't anyone listen to it in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

"Yes..."In the wings on both sides, several family members rushed out, set up the hapless centurion, and dragged it outward.

The centurion was still unwilling to accept his fate, and continued to open his throat and shout, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, your subordinates are loyal to you, loyal to you." My subordinates followed you when Yingzhou was in trouble, personally blocked the arrow for you, and personally did it for you."

"Boom—" A string of blasts rolled by, swallowing his pleas for mercy in the storm.

"Evil obstacles..."Du Zundao scolded at the place where the voice disappeared, turned his head, and continued to pace frantically around the room. The guards at the door were so frightened that they didn't even dare to tremble, and they tried to stand up and grit their teeth.

"Otherwise" I really couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Wensu hunched over and chased after a few steps, and whispered, "Xiaguan sent some elders in the sect to go down and take Ningling's mouth again."

"Stop..."Du Zundao immediately stopped and glared at him angrily, "How dare you hit the idea of the river embankment?" If things fail, how can you and I be buried? ”

"Yes, the lower official knows his mistake, please calm his anger..."Luo Wensu was beaten to a cold point, and quickly bowed down to apologize.

"You know you're wrong, you know where you're wrong? You, you don't know anything, the rat's eyes are narrow..."Du Zundao was full of depression, but he suddenly found an outlet. Turning his gaze to him, the words of rebuke poured in. "Do you think Tokhtar was killed by Zhu Chongjiu alone? Miss by a mile... In order to solve the problem quickly, he blew up the embankment of the Yellow River, and God could not tolerate him... Therefore, not only Zhu Chongjiu wanted to kill him, but the millions of unjust souls on both sides of the Yellow River wanted to kill him, and the Mengyuan court, from top to bottom, also wanted him to die. So he died so much that he couldn't close his eyes until the end. And you, obviously seeing the lessons of the past, you still want the old man to follow suit, what are you? ”

"Wronged, wronged. Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the loyalty of the lower officials to you can be shown every day..."Luo Wensu was scolded in a cold sweat, and he took more than a dozen steps back one after another, "poof" and knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing him become such a wretch, a trace of remorse immediately flashed in Du Zundao's heart. Breathing a sigh of relief, he softened his voice for a few minutes, and slowly added, "Get up and speak, I told you to get up... Anyway, you are also a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, what does it look like to cry and cry? ”

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is guilty, please punish the prime minister..."Luo Wensu kowtowed again, choked up in response.

Du Zundao is narrow-minded, and he will repay him. Especially during the period after Liu Futong left Luoyang, he often killed people with small mistakes, and it has reached the point where he does not distinguish between the enemy and me. Luo Wensu didn't want to be unable to see the sun tomorrow morning because he had one less kowtow tonight.

"Don't you know what the virtues of those elders in the sect are? One by one, there are not enough successes and more failures..."Du Zundao saw Luo Wensu like this, and his heart became more and more guilty. stepped forward and stretched out his hands to pick up the latter, "Look at the fact that they hate Zhu Chongjiu one by one now, and the roots of their teeth are itching, once they fall into the hands of the Huai'an army, they will not wait for the punishment, just give a little sweetness, and they will explain everything clearly..."
