A few days later, they had arrived at the surrounding county town not far from Lianhuai, and by this time Xia Mu's injuries had improved.

Originally, Xia Mu planned to go straight to his destination, but because of the continuous spring rain, his pace was hindered.

By mistake, Xia Mu decided to plan and hide himself by the way.

After all, the crown prince is famous, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will do those face-saving efforts.

Although Xia Mu is not very old, he has both grace and power, and after several battles, many people's power collapsed, but only the second prince, who was well-nourished and sharp, escaped.

Now that the second prince has been sent to deal with the downstream floods, if this errand is done beautifully, it may not be impossible to jump up.

The two forces, each with its own master, will inevitably have some dirty things.

Now that it is raining continuously and there are few pedestrians on the road, Gong Zhe vigilantly observed the surrounding movements with an umbrella, and only after there was no abnormality did he dodge into a small second floor.

Pushing open the wooden door and walking up the steps, I saw a young man dressed in a single shirt, standing motionless in front of the window.

The young man is tall, and he is not an ordinary person just from the back, showing dignity everywhere.

Gong Zhe, on the other hand, frowned, took a robe, and walked straight towards the young man.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Xia Mu's whole person disappeared in an instant, and without looking back, he asked softly, "Are you back?" ”

Gong Zhe responded casually, gently draped his coat on Xia Mu's body, and took the person in his arms.

"This Lianhuai is located in the south, it has been raining continuously recently, the weather is changeable, you don't know how to wear one more, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

In the face of the willful Xia Mu, Gong Zhe really couldn't scold, and he couldn't bear to fight, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Facing Shanggong Zhe's worried gaze, all the excuses Xia Mu had prepared before were invalid, so he could only nod obediently in agreement.

I have to say that since Xia Mu was injured last time, it seems to have become a porcelain doll in Gong Zhe's eyes.

It's really broken when you touch it, you get cold when you blow the wind, and you break your bones when you move your hand.

You must know that Xia Mu didn't stand in front of the window for a long time, not because he was worried about Gong Zhe.

If they went out together at that time, how could there be so many things, but these were just Xia Mu's own complaints, and he didn't dare to let Gong Zhe know, otherwise it would definitely be a bunch of nagging.

Gong Zhe neatly closed the window and picked Xia Mu up, "You, if only you had been so well-behaved." ”

Every time Xia Mu is at a loss, no matter what Gong Zhe says, she will obediently nod her head and agree.

Although he likes Xia Mu's appearance, Gong Zhe also knows that she can't always be like this.

You must know that his little highness is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, as long as she wants to, all conspiracies cannot escape her eyes.

This kind of person is rare, and Xia Mu only shows weakness in front of Gong Zhe.

It is precisely because of the commendability that Gong Zhe cherishes it more and more.

With his hands around Gong Zhe's neck, Xia Mu leaned in affectionately, "I promise there will be no next time, and I won't worry about you anymore." ”

Seeing that Gong Zhe's face improved, and his brows were no longer frowning, Xia Mu remembered what was going on.

"How is it, what is the situation on Lianhuai's side, is it still under control?"

"I did, but it's not good." Gong Zhe's face was a little darker when he said this, and he endured it and told him the news he had found out one by one.

Gong Zhe originally thought that with Mingji's brutal rule, although the entire Xuanqin Kingdom would not be a single iron bucket, it would not be full of loopholes.

But after witnessing the dire life of the people in the disaster area, I have to say that there are so many moths.

The common people are not happy, and the officials only know how to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves, one city, and two lives.

Facing Shanggong Zhe's angry eyes, Xia Mu rarely became serious, "Don't worry, we will enter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm!" Gong Zhe has never doubted that it can be good.

When Gong Zhe turned his back, Xia Mu seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face was extremely ugly.

Although this world looks calm, in fact, there is a hidden murderous intention, and there are people everywhere who want to take Xia Mu's head with their own hands.

Lian Huai's matter, after all, there is Mingji's dictation, even if it is cut first and then played, some people are convinced.

And what worries Xia Mu the most is actually Xu Ruisun.

After all, judging from the sword of his so-called mercy from his subordinates, he didn't look like he was planning to give up.

But even if he didn't plan to give up, Xia Mu still couldn't do much.

Now I can only take one step at a time, I just hope that Xu Ruisun Ke will not be stupid.

Early the next morning, Xia Mu and Gong Zhe pretended to be in a hurry and rushed to Lianhuai.

At this time, because of the failure of the second prince's strategy, coupled with the heavy rain in recent days, Lianhuai was seriously affected.

The eyeliner of Hongshu, who was the governor of Lianhuai at the time, passed the news as early as the moment Xia Mu entered the city.

By the time Xia Mu arrived at the disaster area, Hongshu's clothes were thin, his whole body was soaked, and he was still organizing defenses.

Gong Zhe and Xia Mu glanced at each other quietly, and they both understood.

"The people who are repairing the river embankment over there, move a little faster, the water level of the river is rising so fast, what are you doing over there?"

"Here, let the old people and children withdraw, and the young people on top."

Hongshu shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was really worried about the people of Lianhuai.

The little guy on the side looked at Xia Mu's serious expression, and pretended to be very anxious and shouted, "Adult, adult!" ”

Hongshu is like he didn't hear it, and he still goes his own way.

The forced little guy was about to jump up before he could respond, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lord Hui, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Hongshu pretended to find Xia Mu, and replied arrogantly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, and the officials are not welcome." ”

"But now Lian Huai's situation is critical, please forgive the official for not being able to entertain him in person, and he will definitely hold a banquet tonight to make amends."

After saying that, Hongshu turned around directly, leaving Xia Mu completely behind.

Xia Mu squinted his eyes and smiled more and more gently, but the little guy felt a coldness for no reason.

Gong Zhe's expression did not change, but he continued to follow, and no one knew that his drooping eyes were full of killing intent.

And the so-called Hongshu official residence where the little servant took Xia Mu to stay is just an old wooden house that has fallen into disrepair.

It's just that because of its previous owner, it is still well maintained.

The sky was getting dark, and after Xia Mu waited for two hours, Hongshu was late, and the banquet began.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it was a banquet.

A somewhat dilapidated looking table with five plates on it, namely peanuts, boiled edamame, diced radish, clear water cabbage, and steamed buns.

Judging from the dishes alone, it is simple and perfunctory.

Before Xia Mu even got closer, he smelled the smell of some rotting food, which made Xia Mu couldn't help frowning.

Hongshu pretended not to know, and respectfully used chopsticks to cook for Xia Mubu, "Now the Lianhuai area is seriously affected, the surrounding roads are blocked, and things can't get in or out." ”
