"I don't know how your third brother is?" Peng looked at the sky, his eyebrows full of worry.

Peng didn't know that Peng Mo knew about the flood, and he didn't know that the real purpose of Peng Hao's trip was to avoid the disaster, so since he learned about the flood in Shuangxia Town, he couldn't sit still, worried about the safety of his son in the disaster area.

Peng Mo smiled lightly, hugged Peng's arm and said, "Mother is really, the third brother's martial arts are so good, how can something happen?" made her feel uncomfortable when she saw her mother worried but couldn't explain the facts.

Saying that, he helped Peng Shi back to the room and sat down, and said, "Mother, relax, the third brother will come back in a few days." ”

These words are not to comfort the Peng family, the emperor will not let the third brother stay in Shuangxia Town for long; first, he is afraid that the third brother will inadvertently leak the news; second, he is afraid that the court officials and princes who were sent to Shuangxia Town will see the clues of avoiding disasters in advance; third, he is afraid that the two princes who were sent to Shuangxia Town will have too much contact with the third brother, or too much contact with the general's mansion!

Therefore, after the team of the two princes took over Shuangxia Town, the third brother should come back.

Peng nodded slightly when he listened, his eyebrows were not reduced, obviously he didn't listen to Peng Mo's words in his heart, got up and walked to the Buddha shrine to recite the scriptures.

At night, the moon and stars are scarce, the cool breeze is blowing, there is no heavy rain raging, and the insects are singing again, and it is peaceful.

Peng Mo held a fan in his hand, half lying on the chaise longue couch to enjoy the coolness, remembering what happened with Jin Xiuchen on this couch last night, he blushed and heartbeat, hurriedly stood up, stroked his burning cheeks, and chuckled helplessly.

Outside the Mohe Garden, a figure stood in the night, his eyes with a trace of turbulent complex emotions, looking at the people in the room under the candlelight through the window, and his frowning brows indicated that he was not in a relaxed mood at the moment.

Peng Mo rubbed his astringent eyes, glanced at it and leaked it even more, and when it was almost the end of the hour, Sakura opened and closed his lips and muttered. "It's not going to come, is it?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "squeak" sound from the door.

Peng Mo heard the voice, looked through the curtain, and just saw Jin Xiuchen stepping into the room, his eyes were bright for a while, the smile on the corner of his mouth became softer, and his cheeks were a little peach powder, shy and timid.

Jin Xiuchen saw where Peng Mo was, walked over, and when he saw her bright and bright eyes, his heart suddenly hurt.

Peng Mo didn't see Jin Xiuchen's strange appearance, limped to the table and poured two cups of tea, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the emperor summoned you this afternoon?"

There are not many people who know about this incident, and the only ones who need the emperor to bother are Jin Xiuchen and the third brother, and it is indispensable to "carefully advise" the two!

Jin Xiuchen lifted his robe and sat opposite Peng Mo, his eyes wandered on her face, and when he heard her words, he nodded "En".

Peng Mo noticed Jin Xiuchen's low mood, raised his eyes to meet his complicated and incomprehensible eyes, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Did something happen?"

Jin Xiuchen looked at her eyebrows, lowered his eyes for a moment, covered his thoughts that were about to leak out, and asked, "What did you send Qi Mu to?"

Peng Mo was stunned, the fingers holding the teacup tightened unconsciously, stood up randomly, and chuckled: "Qi Mu, didn't His Highness give him to the little girl, and now you have to ask the little girl how to use it?"

Jin Xiuchen listened to her estranged name, his heart was astringent, he propped up the table and stepped forward, staring at her eyes and smiling: "Your lawsuit with Jin Rui is not over yet, do you still think that ruining his shop and prestige among the people is not enough for you to relieve your anger?"

Peng Mo lowered his eyes in a panic, pursed his lips and said nothing, and the knuckles holding the cup turned slightly white.

Jin Xiuchen couldn't get her answer, and he wasn't annoyed, the smile on his face became more and more vibrant, he got up and walked slowly behind her, stretched out his arms around her waist, and leaned down to sniff deeply on her neck, which was still a faint soft and warm taste.

This good smell ignited the anger in Jin Xiuchen's chest, and his thin lips leaned close to her ear and said: "Or perhaps, you lied to me from the beginning, you didn't deal with Jin Rui because he slighted you, but... There is another reason!", word by word, the tone is as light as smoke, but as cold as ice.

The cold aura emanating from his body made Peng Mo shiver, his breathing stagnant, and his back stiffened.

Qi Mu was assigned to do things Peng Mo knew that he couldn't hide it from Jin Xiuchen, but he didn't expect him to think that he was planning to deal with Jin Rui.

Peng Mo spun around in his arms, looked at his angry eyes and asked with a smile, "Why does Your Highness want to know?"

Jin Xiuchen also looked into her eyes. "I thought you knew why I wanted to know!"

Peng Mo choked, turned his eyes away and didn't dare to look at him again, bitter in his heart, you are still the same stubborn, but what should I say? Say that I will be reborn in a lifetime? Will you believe what I say? I don't even dare to say the third brother, I will only be more timid towards you!

"I don't want to say. Peng Mo lowered his eyes, and his tone was as light as a feather, and he couldn't withstand a ripple when he fell into the water.

The restraint around his waist disappeared, and Peng Mo lowered his eyes and looked at Jin Xiuchen's feet and took two steps back.

Anger, disappointment, and questioning, all of them turned into nothingness when they saw her helplessly hanging her head, leaving an empty cavity of bitterness, Jin Xiuchen's lips smiled, slightly sarcastic and hurt, and turned away.

Peng Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, biting his lower lip and not looking at him, but counting his footsteps in his heart, every step seemed to be stepping on his heart, dull pain, seven... Eight.. Nine.. Ten.. His footsteps paused, and his deep voice could be heard.

"Peng Mo, what am I to you?" the voice was bitter.

Peng Mo raised his head leisurely, looked at his back, and listened to his questioning, as if his throat was choked, he couldn't say a word, and a panic surged in his heart.

It turns out that I am nothing, no matter what I do, I can't enter your heart! Jin Xiuchen's heart ached, he hurriedly turned around and looked at her eyes from afar, pulled his lips and smiled: "I'm just an ally after all, right!"

Peng Mo couldn't say a word, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she always avoided before, and if she could delay it for a day, until today, she couldn't avoid it, and she was speechless when she was questioned....

Jin Xiuchen couldn't wait for her answer, shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.

Peng Mo looked at Jin Xiuchen's back, his heart seemed to be hollowed out, and he lost consciousness in pain, his feelings for him were so deep! Looking at the bottle of foot wound medicine that he had put on the corner of the table before going out, the tears that he had endured for a long time finally flowed out!

What am I going to say? How stupid I was in my previous life? How did I overturn the General's Mansion? How did I lose you and cause you to die miserably?

How can I say, "I have enough hatred in my previous life, so how can I tell you again?"

In Shuangxia Town, in the dark night, rows of torches roamed every high place in the town.

Peng Hao waited until the flood waters receded, and then called soldiers to search the town again to see if there were any missing victims.

He himself went down the mountain, walked through the various heights of refuge, and was relieved to see that the people had no problems other than being frightened and contaminated with the wind and cold.

Then he ordered the food and medicinal materials prepared before to be evenly distributed everywhere, and organized the chief and the charismatic squire to be responsible for calming the people.

Ma Jier carefully followed behind Peng Hao, listening to his every methodical command, and his heart was even more Vino for him, not only for his ability, but also for the things associated with the flood.

First, if Peng Hao knew about the flood, he asked the emperor to send him here, and tricked himself into designing such a play to take the people to avoid the flood, how can this scheming and strategy be underestimated?

Second, if the flood was foreseen by the emperor in advance, and then ordered Peng Hao to come, and he designed such a play according to the order, then it proves that in the emperor's mind, Peng Hao's status has risen to the height of a confidant, so that the emperor can tell him such a top-secret thing, then he should be even more obedient to him!

"Third master. Zhang Ji saw Peng Hao by the light of the torch and chased after him. "Third Master, I have already led a few teams of people to search, there are no people left in the town, and we have also searched for some usable food and medicinal materials. ”

Peng Hao nodded, his brows slightly soothed after frowning for a long time, after Ma Jier's advance organization last night, Zhang Ji and others searched again, when the flood came, Shuangxia Town had become an empty city;

Ma Jier hurriedly ordered people to distribute what Zhang Ji found everywhere.

King Qu and King Ning led thousands of elite soldiers and several ministers of the court, carrying relief materials such as food and clothing, and came to Shuangxia Town on the second day after the flood!

After seeing the situation in Shuangxia Town, the two pampered princes were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

In the past, Shuangxia Town, which was not prosperous in the past, was a mess as far as the eye could see, with potholes and muddy water everywhere, large and small rockfalls scattered everywhere, dilapidated and broken houses, cage drawers washed out of homes, bedding, clothes, shoes, and the corpses of domestic animals...

The officials who followed it were also the first time to see the scene after the flood, frowning and surprised, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts, looking at the destruction of this house, yesterday's flood should have been huge, can there be any survivors?

King Qu frowned deeply, and ordered with a solemn face. "Leave a hundred people to set up camp and sort out food and other things, and the rest of the people will all go to search for the victims. ”

They were followed by well-trained elite soldiers, who listened to King Qu's orders and went about their work in an orderly manner.

King Ning glanced at King Qu, pouting without a trace, if he would have to ridicule a sentence or two in normal times, but the occasion was not right at this time, and his father had said that everyone on this trip must be dominated by King Qu, so although he was not convinced, he didn't say anything, it is better to come here to find some sense of existence and establish some prestige than a few imperial brothers who are idle in Beijing, isn't it?
