Nangong Sheng beckoned, "Go and get the roster, check who this person's surname is?" Where do you live and how many people do you have? ”

The steward quickly brought the roster, but he couldn't find the man's name when he flipped through it from beginning to end.

The man finally looked a little flustered.

Nangong Sheng frowned, "Which of you knows him?" ”

A few people close to him said, "He said his name is Da Niu, and I don't know anything else." ”

The man had to say more.

"You have taken the lead in provoking and interfering with the digging of the ditch many times, who instructed you?"

The man kept silent.

"If you refuse to answer, take it down first, so that you can check it for me."

Xue Ling estimated that it was almost over, and said, "I am from Nandi, even if I can stay here, it is impossible to stay for several months, not to mention that this drought will definitely last until the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Without a leader, the people are much more obedient.

Everyone asked, "What then?" ”

Xue Ling's tone was clear, "I came to the north this time, it was on the orders of the imperial court, although I am a woman, but I also understand the principle that the north and the south are one family, and the whole country is united, but the north and the south are thousands of miles apart, I can't and won't stay here for a long time, instead of relying on me, it's better to dig a ditch to drink water, this is the long-term way." His Royal Highness the eldest grandson cares about the people, works tirelessly, and personally supervises the work. ”

Everyone was asked like this, and naturally they couldn't say a word.

Without the rhythm of the leading sheep, the people are simple-minded, and at this time, they already feel that what Xue Ling said is very reasonable.

Among the people, there are other candidates who have been installed early.

It's just that there were many opponents before, and they couldn't exert their strength.

At this time, someone said, "Yes, it is better to ask for oneself than to ask for others, and the water in this mountain is stored all year round, and after digging a ditch, it can be used for timely needs." We have already dug nearly half of this channel, how can we give up halfway. ”

After there is an opening, the back is much smoother.

Everything went well.

Xue Ling is a girl, so naturally she can't help, and the matter is already half-done, so she said to Nangong Sheng and prepared to go back to the palace.

Nangong Sheng got up to send him off.

He looked her up and down, and walked around the woods, her plain clothes already stained with a lot of mud.

The color of the shirt is very light, and the stains on the hem of the skirt are very conspicuous.

But the girl next to her did not change her expression, and she had a temperament that was not stained with dust.

Nangong Sheng noticed this girl from the first time he was in the Jiangling Palace.

He has lofty ambitions, cherishes his family and country, and never knows and has no time to look at women.

But everything today made him have to pay attention to this girl again.

Xue Ling saw him looking at himself, and he was vigilant in his heart, "Since the matter has been resolved, Xue Ling will retire." ”

Nangong Sheng walked towards her, "Miss Xue, if you don't mind, can you take care of my wounds." ”

Nangong Sheng was naturally accompanied by the imperial doctor, since he did not deal with the wound, he naturally felt that there was no big problem, and now he opened his mouth, probably if he had something to say to her, Xue Ling did not refuse.

"Your Highness is polite, as a doctor, I have no reason to push the wounded out."

She brought the medicine box with her and asked Jiang Xu to hand it over.

Nangong Sheng pulled up his sleeves, and there was indeed a one-finger wound on his wrist.

The wound is not deep, but it is not shallow.

This injury is really nothing to a young man.

Xue Ling cleaned his wounds.

Nangong Sheng said casually, "Thank you today." ”

Xue Ling didn't take credit, "Your Highness's identity, many things are very restricted, but I'm different, I really can't afford to be thankful." ”

"You're smart. How long will it take for Shi Yue's wound to heal? ”

Nangong Sheng asked casually.

"Mr. Zeng is young, and he can walk slowly in three or five days."

"But it will leave a hidden disease."

Xue Ling didn't raise her head, "No, it didn't hurt your muscles and bones, and it won't affect walking." ”

Her tone was as calm as usual.

"I have known Shi Yue for nearly ten years, and it is the first time I have seen him so interested in a girl, I am very curious, what kind of woman is Miss Xue, who can make Brother Chen and Shi Yue so intoxicated."

The smile on his lips was very cold.

It's different from Zeng Yi.

is also the person behind the scenes in his previous life.

When getting along with Zeng Yi, Xue Ling didn't feel any hostility.

Nangong Sheng is different.

Xue Ling felt an aura of danger.

is also unfathomable in the city, and Zeng Yi still has a kind of righteousness that is difficult to hide.

Nangong Sheng has a royal majesty that people dare not speculate.

The gesture makes people dare not offend.

Nangong Sheng said, "Today, I understand a little. ”

Xue Ling didn't know what Nangong Sheng wanted to express in this sentence.

She cleaned the wound and then applied some plaster.

Waiting for a response, Nangong Sheng was a little surprised, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Xue Ling raised her eyes, "What does Your Highness want to hear?" ”

Nangong Sheng looked at her and looked at the look in her eyes.

Xue Ling smiled softly, "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson always comes prepared to do things, so His Highness should naturally check my temperament clearly." ”

"Not bad."

Xue Ling continued, "His Royal Highness is also a man, and he understands the insignificance of personal emotions in front of the family better than me, even if I and the prince are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, now they are just living for their own purposes, this is just a matter of course, isn't it." ”

Nangong Sheng said, "Yes, except for Shi Yue, you are the most transparent person I have ever seen, and I can't wait to see if Miss Xue San can win the witch master of the land of Jiangling?" I'm looking forward to dealing with you.

Nangong Sheng had said this once before, but it was a bit of a joke before, but now it was a little solemn.

Xue Ling heard the meaning of Nangong Sheng's words, "I'm also looking forward to it." ”

Nangong Sheng looked ahead, and the ditch had begun to be busy in an orderly manner again.

"There's one thing you don't know."

The movement in Xue Ling's hand paused for a moment, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Nangong Sheng spoke again, "When Shi Yue went to the south to spread his will, he said a word to me,"

Although Xue Ling didn't know, she could probably guess that she raised her head and looked at Nangong Sheng, waiting for him to continue.

"The court has made a decree, but this kind of prayer for rain, I have never believed in it, but he said, if someone comes to the land of Gangneung and can pray for rain smoothly, I hope I can reassess my opinion of the Wu clan, do you know, this is something that has never happened before, because of some experience, he does not respect the Wu clan, and his current change is too great, Miss Xue, do you say that this is because of you?"

Xue Ling's heart moved, she never thought that Zeng Yi would do it like this.

She remembered the complicated look when she prayed for rain when Nangong Sheng finally left.
