"Sixth Highness, I just discovered that the southeast city wall has collapsed!" The spring night was not hot, but the city general was full of sweat.

Dongcheng has always had a lot of troubles, the people are poor, the fish and dragons are mixed, plus the refugees and recalcitrant people, the hard bones everywhere, they can't gnaw and there is no oil and water. It is only bitter that these soldiers and generals who defend the east and patrol the east often have to be vigilant, prevent the common people from making trouble, and have to deal with the accountability of the officials.

It's like at this moment, the city wall actually broke a hole in the boss, and he cursed again and again in his heart, thinking that he was too unlucky. However, he thought that it might be easier to deal with the six princes than the Xiping princes, after all, the former is famous, the master of eating, drinking and having fun, unlike the two princes of Dongping and Xiping, who have served as the leaders of the capital army for several years, and they are conscientious, and it is difficult to fish under them.

Hyun Jinfeng was really not nervous, his sitting posture was loose, holding the teacup but it seemed to be drinking, "If the wall collapses, make up for it, what do you report to His Royal Highness?" Does His Highness look like a plasterer? ”

Lan Sheng sneered, did the name of the absurd and mediocre Six Princes come from like this?

Although the city general didn't want the six princes to ask too carefully, lest he become an unlucky ghost who was responsible, but the six princes used the words "make up for the collapse of the wall", which was too hasty. Of course, making a big thing small is only good for him, and he said yes with a sneer, and was about to step back.

"Wait." Someone pretended to be a straw bag, but Lan Sheng didn't want to be the wife of the straw bag, and said to the city general, "The Sixth Highness is just joking with you, the city wall is the last defense of the imperial capital, no matter what the reason is, it is a big deal, how can you not go and see it in person?" After saying that, Feng rolled his eyes and glanced at Hyun Jinfeng. Raise your eyebrows slightly.

There are not many people in the court who have seen the Six Imperial Princesses, but the reputation of the Six Imperial Concubines has risen in the past two years. Who doesn't know that the hip hall built by her is the favorite pastime of nobles and famous sons, including the prince, and the wrestlers and fighters raised in the major mansions are also to participate in those competitions in the fight hall. It is said that as long as you have entered the Hip Hall, it is difficult for them to adapt to other places, and they are proud to be able to hold a banquet in the Fight Hall.

This concubine Nanyue eldest lady used to be almost unknown to even the existence of zài, but now contrary to the declining National Teacher's Mansion, she is the most shining one among Nanyue's daughters. The title of the six princesses is certainly noble. Truly famous. But it's still her ability to do things. Starting from the fairy building, to the water corridor cloud bridge, the golden fan top frolicking hall, and the new look of the crow field. Ju'an Zao won the reconstruction of the Bee Orange House. is so famous that even the wealthy merchants from other counties have raised money to build a mansion.

It is said that the six princesses are powerful. The city general had only heard of it before, and today he saw the real person, but looking at her words, it seemed that she had the domineering power of sending her husband. I couldn't help but peek at the expressions of the six princes.

The sixth prince was obviously impatient on his face, but he finally stood up, "How many years has the city wall been there, it should be time for it to collapse, and it is just right to repair and strengthen it, what is the big deal?" ”

"His Royal Highness Sixth just said that he is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that someone will deliberately ...... him."

"Someone threw firecrackers just now, and the explosion of the soldiers was not deliberate? As for the collapse of the city wall, it is mostly because of its old age, so there is no need to make a fuss. I ask you, there is a big hole in the wall, and apart from you and your men, do you see any suspicious people or suspicious situations? Hyun Jinfeng turned out of the corner of his eyes and found that everyone in the tea pavilion was kneeling collectively because of his identity.

"That's not true, it's just that there is a moat under the outer wall, and the moat leads to the outer river, and it happens that the big river is at high tide, and even the inner wall is partially washed away by the water." The city general thought, although he said that he was not strict, but in fact he was really strict, and the inner and outer walls were damaged, and it was the first time since the errand that he encountered it, "and the city wall in the south corner was only renovated two years ago, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the first to notice the loss, and he proposed it to the emperor and was responsible for the construction project." ”

Hyun Jinfeng lowered her eyes and groaned, and then said to Lan Sheng, "Concubine Lan will go with me, I can't stay in this tea pavilion." It was getting late, and there was only one carriage, so I would go home again after my tour. ”

Of course, Lan Sheng noticed that people knelt on the ground, and he wanted to see the city wall even more, and someone invited him, just right.

Hyun Jinfeng took out a gold ingot from the lotus bag around his waist, put it lightly on the table, and said to Dr. Cha, "Although the tea is coarse and bitter, the rice cakes are glutinous and refreshing, and His Royal Highness and Concubine Lan are quite fond of it, so I will reward you." Your Highness is usually not so generous, even if you have fortune today. ”

Dr. Tea has seen gold ingots a few times, and he is grateful, kowtowing and thanking.

Lan Sheng walked out behind Hyun Jinfeng, and listened to Hyun Jinfeng's fellow city general.

"Can you speak? When so many people said that it had only been two years since the city wall was renovated, and they mentioned that the prince was in charge of the project, didn't it mean that my imperial brother was suspected of negligence? ”

The city general was stunned, and said in shock, "The last general has no such intention, even if he borrows ten guts from the last general, the last general will not dare to say that the prince is not, please let the sixth highness know." ”

Hyun Jinfeng's voice was cold, "Since I don't mean that, I will have to talk more than my brain in the future." His Royal Highness is just a substitute today, and it's just that he has heard those words, but the speaker has no intention, and the listener has the intention, especially those who want to climb up, and secretly sue behind your back, don't talk about this robe, be careful of moving your head. Your Highness sees that you are very honest and reminds you. ”

The city general nodded his head, and his opinion of the six princes changed by three points, thinking that this highness understood some human feelings compared to before.

After Lan Sheng got into the car, he looked at Hyun Jinfeng quietly for a while, his tone was flat, and his voice was soft, "Why are you only half-pretending to be out of interest now?" Aren't you afraid that the prince's eyeliner will be collected, and if you go to the prince and praise you, the prince will immediately become murderous? ”

Hyun Jinfeng raised her eyebrows, "This general is the little eyes and ears of the princelings, and now in the imperial capital, where are there no eyes and ears of the prince?" But, in other words, if I were the crown prince, they would also be my eyes and ears. They were afraid of the crown prince's golden crown, not Hyun Che Sheng. ”

Lan Sheng realized, "That's not what it looks like, it's just grass on the wall, falling on both sides." ”

"My daughter-in-law is just smart." Hyun Jinfeng smiled, "Besides, he went to praise me, and I didn't say anything bad about the prince, and he probably died because he said about the project for no reason." You know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a lot of money on those inferior wall tiles. ”

"Scumbag?" Lan Sheng only understood thoroughly.

"You're an expert, you'll find out later." Hyun Jinfeng suddenly ordered the Dongcheng general outside through the curtain and asked him to send someone to report the matter to the East Palace as soon as possible.

"I don't know who just said that the collapse of the city wall is a small matter, just find a plasterer?" Lan Sheng teased him.

Hyun Jinfeng was serious, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that your words make sense, the city wall is the last line of defense of the imperial capital, and it must be taken seriously." Since it's so important, I can't afford it alone, so I'd better ask the prince to take care of it himself. ”

"By the way, please the prince again." Whoever makes the tofu dregs will clean it up, so as not to let others see the clues and leave the tail.

Hyun Jinfeng didn't respond to it, but said, "You are an expert who knows at a glance, just know it, but if you have anything to say, go home with me and talk about it." ”

Lan Sheng frowned, could it be that the collapse of the city wall was also a trick he made? Why?

Puzzled all the way until she got out of the car, she realized that the so-called south corner of Dongcheng was very strange. The east and south walls are not connected at right angles, and each side of the mountain is adherent. The mountain to the water is a dangerous cliff, and the river flowing rapidly under the cliff. The moat is drained from this big river, and when the tide rises, the impulse on the south corner is much greater than that of other sections of the city wall, so it is easy to cause the wall to be damaged by water erosion. For the need for military support, the two walls were connected by the walls of the squares at the foot of the mountain. Originally, it was impossible to walk the square wall, because it had to be built with the city wall, and it looked like a small city wall, with a narrow passage, which could accommodate two people to walk together.

But that's not the point.

The point is that this mountain is called Slag Jade Mountain.

Out of the city gate, board the boat, along the moat to survey the damaged outer wall, but it is also the first time Lan Sheng saw the cliff of the slag jade mountain, the night is dark, it seems to be split into three edges by a giant axe, the fire does not shine a tree, only the craggy mountain stones, no wonder it is determined to be a natural danger.

When the boat approached the mouth of the ditch, it was already low tide, and the soldiers on the wall and on the ship lit it with open fires, and she could see the foundation stone under the wall, a large hole in the collapsed bricks, and the wall around it that was still in good condition, and she blurted out, "The section of the wall here has only recently been reinforced." ”

The city general was surprised, "The princess is right, after it was rebuilt a few years ago, it will be maintained by craftsmen every few months. ”

Lan Sheng pointed to the artificial canal, "When the city wall was rebuilt, did that waterway also work?" ”

The city general nodded again and again, and he was about to admire her, "The princess is right again, after seeing the city wall, the engineering department decided to widen the canal, remove the original water interception valve, change the stagnant water of the moat into living water, and at the same time introduce the eastern outer city to solve the dilemma of drinking water shortage." ”

Lan Sheng was about to say that the idea of the Industrial Construction Division was good, but unfortunately the angle of the inclined canal was wrong, and there was also a suspicion of nonsense, so there would be a whirlpool at high tide, but when he saw Hyun Jinfeng's appearance of smiling or not, he remembered that he asked him to say less, so he was silent.

Silence is silence, eyes are not idle at all, carrying the lamp by himself, and he does not miss a place. When I went ashore and looked at the inner wall, although the hole was smaller than the outer wall, there were less than a hundred bricks missing above the cornerstone. Then the question arises.

The structure of the city wall is generally a wooden frame mud barrier plus two layers of brick and concrete stone foundation inside and outside, to put it simply, the middle of the inner wall of the outer wall is solid, but the inside of the collapsed piece is empty, so the inner wall will be directly damaged by the rapids?

Taking advantage of Hyun Jinfeng and Cheng Jiang talking on the other end, Lan Sheng reached out and grabbed a handful into the wall, but without much force, his hand was full. When I took it out and kneaded it, I found that the mud was not only loose and crisp, but also mixed with a lot of grass stalks. It's like a pile of sand, and the water is all gone. Since the prince has made a lot of money, cutting corners is also in her expectations. She crouched down and looked and looked by the light, but—

Suddenly, he heard the sound of driving, Lan Sheng stood up straight and retreated to his carriage, but saw a team of flying horses, led by An Hu. He quickly dismounted, glanced at Lan Sheng, and strode towards Hyun Jinfeng and them. (To be continued......)
