Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 174 Heavy Rain
Brother Liang hurriedly took it, looked at Xiao Lizi and said with a smile: "How come, I'm worried that your clothes are too small, after all, my size is much bigger than yours!" โ
Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Brother Liang take it, and then explained: "I am wearing a big one, and Brother Liang should be wearing a little smaller, but it is more comfortable than wearing wet clothes!" โ
Brother Liang thought about it for a while, picked up the towel brought by Xiao Lizi on the side, wiped his face, and then took off his clothes and pants, revealing his strong muscles and scars brought back from the battlefield.
It was pitch black outside the house, there was a faint fire in the house, Xiao Lizi saw the scar on Brother Liang's body through the firelight, Brother Liang wiped his body casually and was about to put on his clothes, Xiao Lizi hurriedly stopped: "You haven't wiped your back yet, I'll help you wipe it and you can wear it again!" โ
Regardless of whether Brother Liang agreed or not, he snatched the towel over, and then moved Brother Liang over, letting his back face him, Brother Liang still didn't say anything after all, and silently accepted Xiao Lizi's kindness.
Xiao Lizi quickly helped Brother Liang wipe his back, and Xiao Lizi, intentionally or unintentionally, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can try it on that regular clothes!" โ
Brother Liang didn't feel anything unusual, and hurriedly put on his clothes, only to see that the regular clothes worn by this Xiucai were propped up by Brother Liang, but fortunately, although it was shorter, it didn't affect anything.
Seeing that Brother Liang was dressed, Xiao Lizi immediately took out a few steamed buns, greens and seasonings from the cabinet on the side, and said while putting them on: "I don't know how long it will rain yet, and His Royal Highness won't be in a hurry to enter the palace if I want to come, let's eat something first!" โ
After handing Brother Liang a skewer, he wore another skewer and roasted it on the charcoal fire in front of him.
Brother Liang looked at Xiao Lizi's familiar technique and smiled: "Look at you like this, you haven't eaten less, but you have stolen this barbecue!" โ
Xiao Lizi also replied with a smile: "Of course you have to learn it, by the way, Brother Liang, what about your carriage, you won't tie him to the door!" โ
Brother Liang said while turning the skewer in his hand: "Of course not, they are all in the side hall, and the horses are also shocked, the people are uncomfortable with such a heavy rain!" โ
It was pouring rain here in Chang'an, but Cheng Yanjin and others, who were still a day's journey from Chang'an, had just experienced a heavy rain.
Cheng Yanjin saw that a little sunshine was finally leaking outside, and couldn't help but complain to Hou Junji: "It's finally sunny, if we have been on the road these days, we can get to Chang'an today, and now it seems that it will take two or three days to arrive!" โ
Hou Junji also stretched his waist and said angrily: "Yes, fortunately, we have won, otherwise we will come back from defeat and such a heavy rain, I am afraid that I will find a pit and choke myself to death!" โ
Cheng Yanjin looked at the dark clouds in the distance and said a little speechlessly: "This cloud seems to have drifted towards Chang'an, then all we have to walk on this road is a dirt road!" โ
Hou Junji also found out that something was wrong, the place where they were stationed was on a high ground, and when they looked down, it was like a swamp below, and the rain flooded the road where the army was originally marching, Hou Junji looked at Cheng Yanjin and said at a loss: "What should I do, shall we still go!" โ
Cheng Yanjin looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and then looked at the flowing water at the foot of the mountain that could not see the road at all, and he couldn't make up his mind at this time, but before he could speak, there was a sudden commotion behind the camp.
Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly took people over to check, and only after passing over did they know that it was not Ashina Muyun who was acting as a demon, Ashina Muyun had been sleeping obediently in the big tent, even if there was lightning and thunder outside, wind and rain, or now that the rain has passed and the sky is clear, he is still immovable.
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Ashina Muyun and then walked to the back, it turned out to be a sentry who didn't know where he came from, and at this time he crawled into the team.
Cheng Yanjin walked over and asked angrily: "Where did you come from, why are you so flustered!" โ
Those sentries saw Cheng Biting Jin as if they had found a savior, although they didn't see Cheng Biting Jin, but when they saw the legendary face appear in front of their eyes, it was exactly the same as they imagined, and the sentries said excitedly: "General Cheng, the last will be the sentinel of Chongzhou!" โ
"The last general is the sentinel of Caizhou!"
"The last general is the sentinel of Yizhou!"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The sentinels of more than a dozen states reported their homes, and the sentinels of Chongzhou were the oldest, and when everyone said that they had come to the land, they immediately explained to Cheng Yanjin: "General Cheng, all parts of the state have been flooded to varying degrees, and the coastal states and counties are the most serious, although the governors of each state have organized rescues, but many young and middle-aged people who have blocked the Turks before have been sent out, so this time we came to Chang'an for help!" โ
Cheng Yanjin knew the intention of these sentries, looked at the soldiers under his hands, and pulled Hou Junji to the side, "Old Hou, now that all counties in various states are affected by the flood, it doesn't make sense for us to pull these soldiers, let them go back to help first!" โ
Hou Junji also had this intention, but he still said with some concern: "But in this way, the emperor will not blame the two of us, now that Chang'an is in front of us, should we ask for the next will first!" โ
Cheng Biting Jin knew Hou Junji's worries, but this was not the time to stick to a summary, and after thinking for a while, Cheng Biting Jin clapped his hands and said: "First return the soldiers borrowed from various states, and then wait for the will of the saint, if the saint decrees that we will come over to help, we will bring the soldiers over!" โ
Hou Junji nodded, he wouldn't say anything at this time, anyway, he was the master of Cheng Biting Jin, and he wouldn't take any responsibility.
Cheng Yanjin summoned this army, asked everyone to divide the team according to their origins, and told them that their hometown was suffering from floods, and now the saint did not dare to transfer troops and horses to the other side, but you seconded soldiers can go back to their hometown to help first.
The soldiers were also a little excited, and they were also a little afraid when they heard that their hometown was flooded, for fear that their relatives would be in danger.
Cheng Yanjin looked at the soldiers who left, and more than a dozen sentries who were beside him looking at him with blank eyes, and then ordered: "General Hou, you take Ashina Muyun and these sentries to the direction of Chang'an, I will take my brothers to the nearest county to take a look, if there is any news, come to us in time, we will leave marks on the road, and we can't rest day and night!" โ
Hou Junji nodded and led everyone to run in the direction of Chang'an, although it was said to be flying, but they couldn't fly in the muddy water.
Ashina Muyun regretted surrendering to Datang like this at this time, although his surrender this time was planned, but if he had known that Datang would suffer such a serious flood, he would definitely not surrender, and the Datang soldiers would not be with him at the border.
At this time, Ashina Muyun only waited to blame himself for not making a hasty decision.
Li Shimin in the palace was also awakened by bursts of thunder, originally he still felt nothing, it was too normal for it to rain during the thunderstorm season. But the rain did not stop from morning to afternoon, so Li Shimin had no choice but to recruit the hundred officials in the side hall.
The civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall were all wet, and the warm pavilion that had long been open was also opened, Li Shimin only felt that streams of sweat came out of his body, but the hundred officials felt warmth.
Wei Zheng dragged his weak body and said for the first time: "Your Majesty, the people will definitely not be able to stand such a heavy rain, and please send someone to appease you, and also help those people who live in low-lying areas!" โ
Li Shimin also had a headache, the rain kept and he couldn't do anything, Fang Xuanling also immediately said: "This rain is strange, it doesn't look like it was generated for no reason, it is more like it is floating from afar, I don't know which states and counties have been hit hard by this!" โ
The eldest grandson Wuji also said on the side: "Yes, Your Majesty, the fierce battles with the Turks before have made our food storage no longer enough, and with this rainstorm, I am afraid that the people will be cut off again this year!" โ
One by one, Li Shimin was out of breath, Li Shimin swept his eyes and found that Li Chengqian was not in the court, and asked angrily: "What about the prince?" If it rains, it won't come early? โ
The officials looked at each other, but Li Tao defended Li Chengqian for the first time: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fought a series of battles before, and it was you who sympathized with the prince and let him rest in the palace, so as to avoid his early dynasty." โ
Li Shimin naturally knew that he didn't let Li Chengqian go to the early dynasty, but he could also do it in the East Palace with such a heavy rain and such a big thing?
Before Li Shimin's words were spoken, Li Chengqian and Chengxin ran in wet, and all the officials brushed the way, letting the two young men in white walk to the middle of the court.
The King of Wei on the side originally wanted to ridicule Li Chengqian a few words, but before he could speak, Li Chengqian pulled his heart and immediately asked Li Shimin for peace and said: "See my father, my son has something important to report!" โ
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was soaking wet, and asked with some puzzlement: "You have something to report, if it is not important, you can not say it, we are now discussing the matter of heavy rain." โ
The person who knelt on the side took over and said, "Your Majesty, what we want to talk about is the matter of this heavy rain!" โ
Li Shimin waved his hand, "You two get up and talk!" โ
With the help of Li Chengqian, the clothes of the ancients were very heavy, and with the blessing of the rain, Xiangxin only felt like he was walking with a set of heavy armor.
Li Chengqian stayed well in the East Palace, originally wanted Brother Liang to pick up Chengxin and enter the palace to discuss the matter of dealing with Ashina Muyun, but the rain didn't stop until noon, Li Chengqian was a little panicked and hurriedly asked Brother Liang to go outside the palace and pull Xiangxin over.
Seeing that the rain kept falling, he panicked, and while coming to the palace with Brother Liang, he pulled in a key person, and that person was Xu Dong, who had just bought a new house in Chang'an.
