Chapter 181: Panic
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting openly and secretly on the side, and Luo Shixin was still patrolling the embankment tirelessly.
God finally opened his eyes, and the heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped.
The water level of the Yellow River also stopped rising, and there were signs of gradual retreat, and Luo Shixin's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
In this continuous rain, the flood water hid over the embankment one meter high, and it was all supported by sandbags and wooden stakes. The rain continued to fall, and the sandbags were no longer able to support it. After all, this thing has no foundation, and the higher it is built, the less powerful it is, and the easier it is to collapse. When it reaches a certain limit, it is not a flood, but a gust of wind can blow it.
Luo Shixin was glad but did not dare to be careless, and continued to strengthen the embankment with sandbags until the water level receded below the embankment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
This man was strong and powerful, and with the unity of all the soldiers, he finally stabilized the flood three days after arriving at the site of the levee burst.
"Great!" The soldiers of the Tianjie Army still don't understand Luo Shixin's intentions and moves, in their opinion, they are soldiers, and their task is to fight the enemy on the battlefield, defend the country with the enemy's first-class blood, and get promotion rewards. Instead of putting down the sword and risking one's life with the power of nature, as is the case today...... Flood fighting.
Just because military orders are like mountains and laws are like heaven, they dare not and cannot be disobeyed.
Even so, today, the soldiers of the Tianjie Army found that they had defeated such a ferocious Yellow River with human strength, and they couldn't help but feel proud in their hearts, hugging them one by one, cheering.
Luo Shixin looked at the water potential that he was holding. I glanced at the banks of the Yellow River where the muddy water level had been pushed down, and I also showed joy. It is true that they are all half-, but in the face of this monstrous flood. They were able to say with a clear conscience, did their best, and did their best.
Su Dingfang strode up, led behind him a gorgeously dressed scribe, his right hand was crossed in front of his chest, and he was holding a small yellow shell hard book in his hand calmly and prudently.
Su Dingfang said: "General, this is sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to understand the situation. Brought His Highness's edict. ”
Luo Shixin nodded, and said to the scribe: "Our situation here has been controlled, and you can sue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when you go back." Let's just say that in two or three days, the water level will drop to a certain level, and our Tianjie army can join the ranks of disaster relief. As he spoke, he reached out and took the little hard book, took it in his hand and looked at it.
"You ......," the scribe reacted. looked at Luo Shixin with annoyance.
Luo Shixin looked up blankly and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The scribe opened his mouth. He replied, "Nothing, here is the farewell." He threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Luo Shixin was inexplicable and didn't bother to care, and continued to look at Li Jiancheng's edict.
This is an oracle, not so much some gossip. specially took care of Luo Shixin's low culture, every word was straightforward and simple, roughly indicating their rescue situation, and said to the people behind him with a smile: "The prince has sent news, and their rescue operation is going very smoothly." Except for a few places where waterlogging is strict. In addition to the powerless rescue, the surrounding people have been properly treated. According to His Highness. Those people are grateful to us like reborn parents. ”
Zhang Yun pursed his lips and said, "They will only be grateful to the people who saved them, for us, forget it." My father lost his life on this embankment, and I didn't see anyone say anything good about him. ”
Luo Shixin glanced at Zhang Yun in surprise, no wonder this guy is a half-ass, he hates to reject his identity as a weir official at all.
"You're wrong!" Luo Shixin said: "I realized a truth a few years ago, people live for a lifetime, grass and trees for a while, for themselves, not for others to live. As long as you are happy, what if you are insulted by the world? Live the same dashing. As long as you have a clear conscience and can live up to your conscience, why bother with the eyes of the world. I, Luo Shixin, stood on this embankment for disaster relief, not to get any appreciation, but to feel that instead of paying attention to the movements here in Chang'an, I scolded the heavens and scolded the injustice. It's better to come here, even if you only save one person, it's better than staying in Chang'an. I think your father should be like this, if he cares about so many gains and losses, he will not throw his life on this embankment. ”
Zhang Yun realized something and stopped talking.
**********
Zhao Luo was very angry, and the consequences were very strict.
Zhao Luo is not a big person, but his mother is Li Jiancheng's second son, Li Chengdao's wet nurse, and he was also promoted to Li Jiancheng's close attendant because of this relationship. Because he relies on relationships to get to the top, he has no ability. Li Jiancheng usually asked him to do some errands.
But Zhao Luo himself regarded himself as the prince's cronies, and traveled south and north, relying on the prince's might, fox and fake tiger power, and also bluffed many people.
As the saying goes, "the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door", not to mention the prince's cronies.
Let him convey the news, on behalf of the crown prince. Wherever you go, you don't treat it obediently and pleasantly, and even curry favor. Even if he is a prince and prime minister, he will give him three points of face, and those who are interested will even give him a small meeting gift.
Today is the only accident, what kind of thing is Luo Shixin, a hairy boy, who dares to disrespect him, ignores him, doesn't even let him say a word, and completely ignores his existence.
"You must let the prince know that this Luo Shixin is too arrogant and has no one in his eyes." Zhao Luo thought in his heart, spurred the horse, came to Hongnong, and returned to Li Jiancheng.
"How's it going on the embankment?" Li Jiancheng said pleasantly, looking like he didn't treat Zhao Luo as an outsider. In fact, he is like this to everyone, and it is because of this that many outstanding talents such as Pei Ju, Zheng Shanguo, He Deren, Wei Zheng, and Wang Qi will swear to serve their lives.
But in Zhao Luo's opinion, he is unique, and Li Jiancheng attaches great importance to him, which is also the source of his courage that no one among the leaders outside.
"The situation is under control, it's just ......" Zhao Luo looked unspeakable.
"Just what? If you have something to say, there is no scruples. Li Jiancheng put down the qiqi in his hand and looked at him.
Zhao Luo said angrily: "That Luo Shixin is not a thing, and he doesn't look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all." ”
Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" ”
Zhao Luo was even more angry, shook his fists and said, "The little one is ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send an edict to Luo Shixin...... He didn't have any respect at all, snatched His Highness's hand, and drove me away like a flower child. ”
"How can it be!" Li Jiancheng took the case.
Zhao Luo immediately shouted: "It really doesn't make sense! Luo Shixin has no one in his eyes, how can he be qualified to be a general, and he will ......" He still wanted to continue, but suddenly his face turned pale as paper, and Li Jiancheng, who was standing in front of him, looked at him with a terrifying look, so frightened that he was late for all his words.
"I have long said that the people of the East Palace Prince's Mansion like foxes, fake tigers, and dogs to fight people's power, and I originally thought that the rumors were not credible, but today I know that what I said is true. Come...... dragged this kind of villain out and was severely punished for fifty years and expelled from the prince's mansion to set an example. "What kind of person is Li Jiancheng, how can Zhao slightly add oil and vinegar to him be hidden?
If it was really as Zhao Luo said, Luo Shixin snatched the edict and drove him away, then how did he know that the situation was charged? Besides, Luo Shixin is a person, he still has a certain understanding. Luo Shixin belongs to the kind of character who treats anyone equally, he will not look down on anyone, nor will he look down on anyone, in words to describe it is neither humble nor arrogant.
Ten out of ten is because Luo Shixin didn't look down on him, the prince's cronies, so he specially fabricated the facts and distorted the facts.
In the past, Li Yi was bold and reckless, and then there was Zhao Luo's dog fighting against people, and Li Jiancheng suddenly found that his princeling had a lot of problems, and his head was as big as a fight for a while.
"Your Highness, the right Xiaowei general Luo Shixin asks to see you."
Not long after pulling Zhao Luo out, Li Jiancheng suddenly came to Luo Shixin to ask for news.
Li Jiancheng looked stunned, and secretly thought: "It won't be Xingshi who asks for guilt!" After thinking about it, he secretly laughed at himself for doing something wrong, so he had this ridiculous thought.
Not long after they got the news, they had to go through the investigation of Dali Temple, the inspection of the Criminal Department and the Imperial Doctor to the three divisions for interrogation, this kind of passing has not yet gone through, and it is impossible for Luo Shixin to get the news even if the news is well-informed.
"Hurry up and invite the general to me!" As he spoke, he left his seat to greet him.
Although Li Jiancheng chose to save Li Yi, he personally did not have any ill feelings towards Luo Shixin, and still felt that he was the future Optimus Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
If it is not to the point of necessity, Li Jiancheng does not intend to have a bad relationship with Luo Shixin. He knew that Datang needed a general like Luo Shixin, whether it was the current Datang or the Datang after he ascended the throne in the future. Therefore, even if the possibility of Luo Shixin joining the princeling party in the future is very small, even if Luo Shixin joins the Qin Wang Party in the future, he does not intend to draw a line with Luo Shixin, unless the other party's existence threatens his position.
Li Jiancheng hadn't taken two steps before he saw Luo Shixin recklessly bump in.
was so frightened that Li Jiancheng took two steps back before he stabilized his figure.
"General, what's the matter?"
Luo Shixin didn't run, but walking fast was no different from jogging, with an eager face and a little gaffe.
Li Jiancheng and Luo Shixin did not have much contact, but his understanding of him can not be said to be deep, for this rising star of the Tang Dynasty, he spent a lot of time to find out and know, in his memory Luo Shixin has been reckless, impatient, and bold and reckless all kinds of negative feelings, but there is no gaffe.
Whether it was Luo Shixin before the epiphany, or Luo Shixin after the epiphany, the character who had the courage to stand alone in front of the 100,000 army and laugh freely did not lose his temper, but now that he has lost his temper, that handsome and handsome face has panic, anxiety, restlessness, nervousness, and all kinds of negative feelings.
"Your Highness, have you met my wife for so long?" (To be continued......)
