Chapter Seventy-Three: The City of Hundred Flowers
"The talents who happened to be left behind can set off with us to Jiangnan, after all, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has not yet been completely perfected, and it is feasible to have these talents to give advice."
Chu Yuchen saw that Song Yunshu didn't seem to be in a good mood, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, Chu Yuchen could also understand, after all, this project can be said to be accessible to the whole country, but there are many people who eat and wait for death to come in, but they will just become moths.
"Well, let's go, we've lost a lot of time here." Song Yunshu also has a purpose to participate in the Talent Competition, so he can't stay here for too long.
When the time comes, there are still a lot of things waiting for her to do, and these people who have come to fill up the numbers have already delayed her for a lot of time.
Because of the addition of many talents, their team is even larger, and they are only half of the distance after the long journey.
"Lord Wang, there is Hundred Flowers City in front, we have just walked exactly half of the journey, and now it is getting late, let's go there to rest."
Tie Yu used his light skills to fall to the ground steadily, and then walked towards Chu Yuchen, who was resting on the side of the road, he was responsible for Chu Yuchen's safety when he came out this time, and of course he would go to the front in advance to inquire about the news.
"Tell everyone to start the journey, and you can rest for the night when you go to Hundred Flowers City."
In order to speed up the process, most of them continued to rush after a little rest in the wilderness, and fought to rest in the city.
Soon arrived at Hundred Flowers City, Tie Yu had already taken care of everything in advance, and Chu Yuchen directly took the group to the post station.
However, because there were too many talents who joined halfway, their team could no longer all rest together, so Song Yunshu ordered someone to lead some people to the guest house.
"Lord Wang, the city lord of Hundred Flowers City asks to see you."
Chu Yuchen had just sat down to rest before he had taken a sip of tea when someone came to report the news, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still sent a message to let people in.
At this time, Song Yunshu had also arranged for those people at the guest station, and she walked in exhausted, just when she heard the news that the city lord was coming, Chu Yuchen asked her to sit down together and listen to what the city lord came for.
"See His Royal Highness King Mu."
"What's the matter with the Lord of the King? Do you need to rush here in such a hurry? ”
Chu Yuchen was still a little displeased, as soon as the city lord heard his words, he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the name of the god of war is not false.
The momentum of Chu Yuchen sitting there alone was enough for him to drink a pot. "Lord Wang, I came here to tell you that the day after tomorrow is the famous Hundred Flowers Festival in our Hundred Flowers City, you can stay and leave when the festival is over."
Song Yunshu asked curiously on the side: "Is spending money for flower appreciation?" I know that the most famous thing about your Hundred Flowers City is this four-season spring-like environment. ”
"Due to the climate, many flowers are in full bloom all year round, and we have already experienced it when we came, so we don't need to go to the Hundred Flowers Festival."
Song Yunshu didn't want to continue wasting time, there was time to enjoy the flowers, if it wasn't for him and if he had to regenerate, he really wanted to stay.
"Presumably you are Lord Song who proposed the South-to-North Water Diversion, you misunderstood what I meant, the Hundred Flowers Festival in our Hundred Flowers City is not a flower appreciation and laughter, but an activity to select talents."
City Lord Wang found that the faces of the two of them were much better, especially Chu Yuchen did not give people a fierce and vicious feeling like just now, and continued after breathing a sigh of relief.
"After the emperor issued a notice some time ago, I was waiting for this opportunity, and I knew that this is the place where you must pass when you arrive in Jiangnan, so I prepared this competition in advance."
"In order to be more in line with your requirements, I have increased the difficulty of the competition, just to be able to select more talents for the country's use."
After listening to the words of the city lord, Chu Yuchen nodded thoughtfully, and did not answer him immediately, but asked him to leave first.
"The city lord really has a heart, don't worry, I will definitely tell the emperor about your good intentions."
After Chu Yuchen said a few polite words, he let Wang Chengzu leave, and he looked at Song Yunshu, who had not spoken all this time.
"Lord Song, I don't know what you think?" Because Song Yunshu is the proposer of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and although he is the person in charge, he doesn't know anything, so he still has to listen to her.
If he insisted on letting Chu Yuchen deal with it himself, he might be able to complete it, but his expectations would never be as high as Song Yunshu said.
"Lord Wang, the city lord really took what the emperor said to heart, let's stay tomorrow to participate in this so-called Hundred Flowers Festival!"
Song Yunshu said everything sincerely, and she had also heard of this Hundred Flowers Festival, which used to mean that it was only a hundred flowers for women to participate.
I heard what the city lord said just now that there has been a change, and it is estimated that both men and women can participate in the Hundred Flowers Nodules, which is more conducive to them looking for talents, and saves them from always having bastards to fill up the numbers as before.
The two didn't stay in the hall for long, but after chatting a few words, they went back to their respective rooms to rest, after all, they had already exhausted themselves after such a long journey.
It was the quietest in the middle of the night, but at this time, there was a faint light in Su Jingxian's room.
A veiled woman looked around, and only after making sure that there was no one knocked on Su Jingxian's door, and only walked in after getting an answer from inside.
"Master, you have finally come to Hundred Flowers City, I have been waiting for you here for several years."
As soon as the woman entered the room, she knelt down on one knee and gave Su Jing an idle salute.
"Get up!" Su Jingxian looked at the weak woman in front of him, although she was wearing a veil, he could see that she was already very beautiful.
"Are you okay in Hundred Flowers City?" Chu Yuchen faced the woman with a straight face, just like when she was with Zhang Yunyao, she showed the appearance of a humble gentleman, so that the woman would fall in love with him.
This trick Su Jingxian tried again and again, he knew that his face was enough to make thousands of girls addicted, and the girl who liked him in the capital was second only to Chu Yuchen.
Although Su Jingxian didn't want to admit this, it was a fact after all, and now was the time when he needed to use women, so he naturally didn't hesitate to show a little tenderness.
The woman didn't expect that she would get Su Jingxian's gentleness one day, but she thought of the news she received some time ago, Zhang Yunyao was tortured half-dead because she didn't complete the task assigned by Su Jingxian.
For a while, the woman who was originally confused by Su Jingxian's tenderness suddenly became clear again.
"Master, I heard that Zhang Yunyao made a mistake, we haven't seen her for many years, please allow me to meet her." The woman didn't say it obviously, she was also asking what Su Jingxian meant, as long as Su Jingxian refused, she didn't dare to continue to ask.
Su Jingxian obviously didn't want to mention Zhang Yunyao at this time, his brows furrowed slightly and he didn't answer the woman's question, and the woman also knew that Su Jingxian would not agree.
