Chapter 117: Heavy rain overnight
As soon as Chen Jinsong's words fell, the rain in the early morning gradually became louder and louder, Chen Jinye looked sideways, but he couldn't sit still anymore.
The big raindrops hit the ground and knocked on people's hearts, and everyone knew what it meant, "the rainy season, it's the rainy season".
"Then why don't you go and build a canal?"
"But I haven't found Ling'er yet."
Chen Jinsong sneered, looked at the increasingly violent rain outside the pavilion, and asked, "If one day you have to choose between the country and the beauty, will you choose her?" ”。
Chen Jinye turned around, "There won't be this problem."
"Really?" , Chen Jinsong chuckled again, and then slowly got up and walked to the house, "The time has come, I'm going to change the dressing."
"Big brother!"
Chen Jinsong paused slightly in the rain, and Chen Jinye asked again: "Do you really not know Ling'er's whereabouts?" ”。
Chen Jinsong slowly turned around, glanced at Chen Jinye, who was already hazy in his eyes, laughed, and said, "If you want to find an excuse to deal with the affairs of Xicheng River with peace of mind, I can promise to help you find it."
After the words fell, Chen Jinsong dragged his soaked body into the house, Chen Jinye looked at his back, his heart was deeply tormented, he couldn't find Liu Ling'er, but he had to go to Xicheng River first.
The fist was pinched to the point of gurgling, his fist was already covered with scars, and the wound gradually collapsed, he gritted his teeth, returned to the courtyard, and explained that the maid took good care of Bai Ju, and explained that if there was any abnormal movement, he must go to Chen Jinsong, and then he threw himself into the rain again and drove away on his horse.
——
After Chen Jinsong carefully bandaged the wound in the room, he looked out of the door blankly, and smiled sadly for a while, what is left in this huge palace?
He slowly got up from his chair and walked to the deepest part of the study, he groped for a long time on the wall, and then slowly turned the mechanism, a huge secret room unfolded, he walked into the depths step by step, and the door closed slowly and heavily.
This is an extremely large and clean dungeon, a huge palace, the entire underground, he can reach it through the underground at any time, he once thought that there would be a lot of people imprisoned here, but in the end after so many years, he found that the dead do not need dungeons.
Step by step, he skimmed over the empty fence, everywhere he did his best to collect the eyes, he figured out the chains, the sword, as if he was thinking about his lover, he smiled stupidly, step by step to the most hidden depths of the palace.
In the depths, there are three separated secret rooms, one of which is locked with Liu Ling'er, Chen Jinsong hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked towards the dark secret room step by step, and after slowly pushing it open, in the corner of the secret room, she was holding her legs in a daze.
"Sure enough, it's you"
Chen Jinsong opened the door of the secret room widely, snorted coldly, "Is it so easy to guess", after that, he turned around and walked towards the exit, Hongling followed behind him, and also went to the exit together, but he didn't forget to answer: "In this Xicheng, no one else will arrest me except you."
Chen Jinsong took Hongling to the huge high platform where they met for the first time, fortunately, the higher part of the high platform was a place with a shed, and here, there were just two chairs, Hongling glanced at Chen Jinsong in shock, and then picked a place to sit down.
But Chen Jinsong was standing alone, Hongling was curious about what he was looking at, "What are you looking at?" ”。
Chen Jinsong turned his head and glared at Hong Ling fiercely, "If you talk again, I'll throw you down", Hong Ling silently glanced at the height of the platform, Hong Ling was dizzy for a while, and her heart tightened, so she suddenly grabbed the handle of the chair.
This place is more than 20 meters above the ground, if it falls, it will definitely be the end of being shattered, so the cowardly Hongling consciously chose to shut up.
——
Chen Jinye drove his horse to the bank of the Xicheng River, everyone was already busy on the front line, the torrential rain continued to impact people, and the water level in the river was getting higher and higher.
At noon, the wind skimmed over the Xicheng River, and the whistling waves slapped down on the already fragile dam, and everyone could not care about sighing, and turned to the scene of the channel, because the tools were so few that they could only dig with their bare hands, but they were washed into the river without digging a few times.
Halfway through the afternoon, the channel had not yet been dug through, and the river was not full at first, and after hesitating for a long time, Lao Song finally made up his mind and told Chen Jinye: "Lord, we can't finish digging before the flood, and now the people in Xicheng are here, if you want to minimize the casualties, you must prepare to evacuate!" ”。
Chen Jinye looked at the river that was constantly surging up, "If the torrential rain continues, how long will it take for the worst case to burst?" ”。
Lao Song leaned half of his body ashore and measured the time for a while, "If the current momentum continues, maybe in the evening, the water will burst the embankment."
Chen Jinye looked at the surging river, and sighed infinitely in his heart, but the reality could not allow him to sigh.
"Where's the nearest high ground around here?"
"West! There is a towering hill to the west, which is a little higher than the west city."
"How far is it from here?"
"Soon, two hours"
Chen Jinye looked at the busy crowd and ordered: "Put down your tools, pull out the camp, and go to the western mountains!" ”。
——
When it was almost noon, Chen Jinsong stood on the high platform and looked up to the sky and laughed, Hongling was shocked by his laughter and asked, "What's ridiculous!?" ”。
Chen Jinsong turned around and shouted frantically: "The flood is coming!" Flood! It's coming! ”。
"What!" , Hongling hurriedly got up from the chair and looked in the direction he was looking at for a long time, but she finally didn't see a reason, but she heard him say like this, "What about Chen Jinye?" Where is he? ”。
"Him?" , Hearing Chen Jinye's name, Chen Jinsong seemed to be a lot quieter, turned his head to look at Hongling, Chen Jinsong said word for word: "He's on the bank of the Xicheng River, wouldn't you guess?" ”。
Hong Ling stumbled under her feet, "No, I'm going to find him", after that, Hong Ling wanted to go down the stairs, but was choked by Chen Jinsong, "Go to him?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”。
A tear slipped from the corner of Hong Ling's eyes, and she struggled desperately, even though the hand that clamped her neck was getting tighter and tighter, seeing that Hong Ling's face was already a little bruised, Chen Jinsong waved his hand slightly, and threw Hong Ling to the ground.
Hongling took a big breath of fresh air, then climbed to the direction of the stairs again, Chen Jinsong was very impatient to drag Hongling back, and took out a prepared rope from his sleeve, Chen Jinsong dragged Hongling to the outermost pillar of the platform.
"Since you want to experience the feeling of living and dying with Ye'er so much, why don't you hang you here?"
"You're crazy! You are crazy! ”
Hongling struggled to resist and used her strength to push Chen Jinsong away, but it was a useless struggle.
Finally, Chen Jinsong tied up Hongling's five flowers and hung them on the highest air of the platform, facing the wind and carrying the rain, Hongling looked at the direction that Chen Jinsong had been looking, it was still peaceful, if he went to tell Chen Jinye now, he would definitely be able to take everyone to dodge.
"Lord Jinsong, you go and tell him if it's okay, let him go quickly"
Listening to Hongling's words, Chen Jinsong smiled maniacally, "Why do you want to tell him?" Don't you like him too? I thought you and I were the only ones in the same path who were ready to spare your life, but it looks like you want to die with him? ”。
Hongling couldn't have imagined that Chen Jinsong would say such a heartbreaking thing, but after thinking about it, what's wrong with being heartbroken?
She followed Chen Jinsong's example, laughed wildly in the face of the rainstorm, her throat was dry, she swallowed the rain, and then continued to shout, continue to laugh, since everyone likes to laugh, then laugh, die? If Chen Jinye dies this time, Chen Jinsong will also kill himself, since he is dead after all, then he will die.
Chen Jinsong quietly watched Hongling roaring and laughing wildly in the rain, as if he was watching another joke, as if he was looking at himself in another dimension, did he laugh like this? Chen Jinsong snorted slightly, and slowly went down the ladder, leaving Hongling alone to shout and carnival.
"See the Prince"
Chen Jinsong slowly stepped into the threshold of the side courtyard, walked towards Chen Jinye's room step by step, pushed open the door, and looked at the blue brocade clothes that he had personally changed into for him that day on the high platform next to the bed, neatly stacked there.
Chen Jinsong picked it up slowly, touched it for a long time, smiled gently, and then folded the clothes into small pieces and stuffed them into the placket of his chest, and the letter was in the same place.
Turning around, the two maids were waiting outside the door, with a very sad face, Chen Jinsong slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What happened?" ”。
The maid knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and said: "Lord Qiyu, Prince Bai Ju is seriously injured and is still in a coma, let me wait to report to you at a critical moment before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves."
Chen Jinsong raised his eyebrows and pointed to the door, "Let's go, take me to have a look."
Coming to Bai Ju's room, as soon as Chen Jinsong entered the threshold, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and after looking at Bai Ju, Chen Jinsong slowly turned around and looked at the two maids, "These days, you are waiting well beside the prince."
After that, he said, "Carry him on his back and go with me."
The maid didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly carried Bai Ju to her body, and the other maid held an umbrella for Bai Ju, followed Chen Jinsong, passed through the thresholds, and finally came to the banquet hall, Chen Jinsong raised his head and pointed high, "Have you seen Liu Ling'er?" ”。
"Carry him there"
The maid looked up tremblingly, and saw that the red girl was extremely miserable hanging outside the pillar more than 20 meters above the ground, and now she was hanging there with her head hanging like a chicken in soup.
"Slave and maid will go"
After that, Chen Jinsong stood there and watched the two maids until they all got on the stage.
