The guards in iron armor hugged each other, guarding a noble and extraordinary young man in the middle.

The man was wearing an embroidered gold brocade robe, the black brocade shone in the spring sun, and the golden crown on his head tightened his black hair, revealing an upside-down handsome face, which was Xiao Chuhan, the king of Xiliang.

Behind him stood Limbo, dressed in military uniform, looking around vigilantly with his forehand on the hilt of his sword.

The prince didn't return all night last night, and only in the morning did he return to the guest room of Fang Caigui's house in a morning dew. As soon as he returned, he immediately freshened up and changed his clothes, and ordered Ling Bo to immediately mobilize the guards, and set off for Lijia Village two quarters of an hour later.

Seeing that the prince had some difficulty walking on one foot, Ling Bo was anxious.

"Lord Wang, where did you go last night? Why did you get hurt again? Ling Bo said that he was going to help Xiao Chuhan check the wound, but Xiao Chuhan stopped him.

"This king has ordered you to gather the guards, so don't waste time." Xiao Chuhan glared at him unhappily, and looked at the mirror to arrange his robe.

"Lord Wang, your leg is injured, why don't you take a break at home and find a doctor to take a look, where are you going this morning?" Ling Bo stood disapprovingly and refused to leave, and said with a stiff neck: "Forgive your subordinates for not receiving orders, you should heal your injuries before going out." ”

Xiao Chuhan frowned and looked at this verbose guy: "This king has something big to do!" If you don't listen to the order, go back immediately, and I'll leave the matter here to someone else!" ”

Ling Bo was reprimanded by him, so he had to turn around and go out to call someone, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. The prince has always had a strange temper recently, what's wrong with this today? Lijia Village, is he still here to find that village girl?

Ling Bo's gathering of people was relatively large, and after a while, Fang Caigui and Fang Liangyu both got the news.

Fang Caigui hurriedly ordered someone to bring breakfast for the prince, and asked carefully: "Prince, are you going to Lijia Village?" I wonder what the villain can do for you? ”

"You call all the people in the house who can do things, wait and go to Lijia Village with me, I want them to help me do a big thing." Xiao Chuhan said, picked up two sets of drawings from the table and handed them to him: "I called a painter to try my best to trace these two sets of drawings, be sure not to make mistakes, this king is of great use." ”

Fang Caigui took the drawings and looked at them, which were detailed drawings of the structure of bamboo and wood waterwheels.

"Yes, the villain will do it." Fang Caigui turned around and withdrew from the guest house, and couldn't help but praise the efficiency of the prince. The prince is really amazing, he has only been here for less than a day, and he has got all the two sets of drawings, and he has to hurry up, and he must not delay the prince's major event.

Xiao Chuhan took people out, and saw that the carriage of the Fang family was also parked outside, and there were coachmen and a servant sitting in the car, and the curtain of the car was hanging and it was impossible to see who was inside.

No need to guess that he knows it's Fang Liangyu! Xiao Chuhan felt a little unhappy in his heart.

He walked over and lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Fang Liangyu sitting in the car wearing an azure brocade robe, with a big mask covering his face. "Liangyu, if you're not in good health, don't go with you."

Seeing him coming, Fang Liangyu hurriedly took off his mask and said, "Lord Wang, my body has recovered, and I haven't coughed for several days." I want to go see Xiaoyun and thank her in person. ”

"I have something big to do when I go, so you better stay at home and rest." Xiao Chuhan frowned, not wanting to take him with him. He hadn't forgotten Yun'er's familiar and doting tone when she mentioned Fang Liangyu.

"Lord Wang......" Fang Liangyu looked at his serious face, and had to back down: "Okay then, then I'll go by myself in a few days." ”

"Forget it, let's go together." Xiao Chuhan heard that he was going to go again, so he had to compromise.

It's okay to go together today, he can still watch these two people don't go too far, and he will go back in a few days, God knows how close that girl will be with him. Thinking of this, Xiao Chuhan's heart was sour.

Seeing that he agreed, Fang Liangyu hurriedly responded happily and retracted into the car. Xiao Chuhan turned over and got on his horse, and a team of people immediately set off for Lijia Village.

Calculating the time, Xiao Chuhan was a little anxious to hurry. Today, I went to Lijia Village to gather the villagers, and then dispersed the people to various towns and villages, I am afraid that the construction of the waterwheel will not officially start until tomorrow. How many days can you stay here with your own state-wide government affairs?

Yun Yao heard the sound of carriages and horses, and immediately opened the door and walked out, but Da Niu didn't say a word and stayed in the house to continue drinking porridge. He didn't want to see Xiao Chuhan, and he didn't know how to face him.

Wang Han! Here he is again!

Yun Yao stood in front of the door and looked up at the man sitting on the horse. Last night he was still sitting on the ground in a mess, waiting for himself to be treated, and now he changed his clothes, as if he had completely changed as a person.

Well, he is still more suitable for such a noble dress, the brocade robe, the golden crown, the tall horse, and the style of the body, which is really both heroic and noble. Yun Yao thought about it, if this guy was dressed like this last night, I am afraid that he would not even have to use the beauty trick, and he would definitely not be able to resist his order.

As soon as Yun Yao walked out, Xiao Chuhan saw her. Afraid of attracting the attention of others, he only glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but immediately caught the amazement in her eyes. There was envy, appreciation, and a lot of admiration in his eyes, which filled Xiao Chuhan's heart with joy.

Little girl, now I finally know this king!

Li Xin had already seen him last time, and knew that he was a very noble adult, and when he saw him coming with many people, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know what the lord has to do?" The villain is the village chief of this Lijia Village, and if you have something, please do not hesitate to instruct. ”

Seeing that the village chief was kneeling, the other villagers were also busy kneeling, but Yun Yao was still standing.

"Well, let's all get up." Xiao Chuhan waved his hand, glanced at the villagers in front of him, and said, "I heard that your village has built a waterwheel, so I came to take a look." ”

After speaking, he deliberately asked, "Who is Zhao Yun'er, please come and speak." ”

Who is Zhao Yun'er? You don't know who Zhao Yun'er is? Yun Yao didn't know what the hell he was going to do, so he had to take a step forward.

Forget it, this guy has always been fake and serious in front of people, so let's cooperate with it.

"Back to my lord, the little woman is Zhao Yun'er."

Clever! Xiao Chuhan glanced at her approvingly, nodded and said, "Is that the waterwheel blueprint you offered?" ”

"It's the little woman." Yun Yao continued to cooperate and secretly grinded her back molars.

Who ate and slept and took it last night at someone else's house? It's only been one night and I'm pretending I don't know anyone!

Only then did Xiao Chuhan turn over and get off the horse, handing the reins to Ling Bo who was standing beside him. "It turns out that you are Miss Zhao." Saying that, he nodded to Yun Yao and said, "Thank you Miss Zhao for understanding the righteousness, this move has benefited me Xiliang a lot, and I will definitely reward the girl for her meritorious deeds." ”

Miss Zhao...... Award people according to their contributions......

Yun Yao was so depressed. Yun'er forget it, she still brought her own surname, who is Miss Zhao! It's okay, reward you for a big-headed ghost!

"Your Excellency praised it." Yun Yaopi glanced at him without smiling, and when she saw his gaze scanning, she quietly wrinkled her nose at him.

Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but laugh, put on a businesslike appearance, and ordered Li Xin: "Village Chief Li, please go and gather all the villagers in the village who participated in the construction of the waterwheel, and Lord Ben will recruit them to go to the townships to assist in the construction of the waterwheel." You tell them that each person can be paid 5 catties of grain a day, and ask them to do their best to run errands. ”

Hearing that there are 5 catties of grain every day, the villagers of Lijia Village immediately boiled, and the people who participated in the waterwheel all gathered together to discuss, and some people who didn't know much were busy pulling people around them to ask for advice, and even some women who only helped to split bamboo tubes were eager to try.

Li Xin listened to Xiao Chuhan's order, and hurriedly asked people to beat the gong to gather the villagers, and gathered people together to discuss how to group people, but Xiao Chuhan walked towards Yun Yao's courtyard.

"Miss Zhao, please come in, I still have something to ask you."

Miss Zhao, Sister Zhao! Yun Yao quietly pouted at him, but still obediently followed.

When Xiao Chuhan spoke, Fang Liangyu had been sitting in the car and did not get down, and when he saw that they had all entered, he helped Xiao Xiao's men to get out of the carriage.

"Xiaoyun, I've come to see you." He followed the courtyard, hurriedly walked to Yun Yao's side, and shouted happily.

"Liangyu! What are you doing here! How's the body? Have you had any cough in the past two days? Yun Yao was suddenly very happy to see him, and hurriedly walked over to grab him.

Seeing him take off his mask, Yun Yao hurriedly helped him put it on again. "It's windy in the countryside and dusty, so you might as well wear it."

"Well, good!" Fang Liangyu stood still and asked Yun Yao to help him pull up the mask, only those sad and misty eyes narrowed, revealing a joyful smile.

Seeing that the two of them were slimy, Xiao Chuhan was about to die. He coughed heavily, and walked back to the hall. "Miss Zhao, please come and talk."

"Yes, the little girl will come here." Yun Yao grimaced at his back, and Fang Liangyu looked at it and smiled lowly.

"Let's go."

The two walked into the hall side by side, and suddenly found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Xiao Chu stood by the door with a cold face, but there was another man sitting in the room. The man sat lazily at the table, with one leg resting on the bench, slowly drinking porridge, and in his left hand holding a roasted sweet potato.

The man is the big cow.

Seeing Xiao Chuhan coming in, Da Niu pretended not to know, and only continued to drink porridge with his head down.

"You go out first, I have something to say to Zhao Yun'er." Xiao Chuhan was displeased, greatly displeased.

This stinky girl, how long has she been gone, why did she call another man home, give him porridge, and give him baked sweet potatoes! He's only ever eaten one roasted sweet potato!

Da Niu didn't speak, only drank porridge in two sips, got up with roasted sweet potatoes and walked out, without even looking at Xiao Chuhan.

"Hey, Da Niu, don't go far, I'll have something to do with you later!" Yun Yao hurriedly chased and shouted, and when she saw Da Niu nodding, she walked back.

"What are you doing, isn't he just here to have breakfast, why are you so fierce to others?" There were people guarding outside the courtyard gate, and no one came in here, just the three of them, Yun Yao suddenly refused to hold it anymore. She walked up to Xiao Chuhan, suppressed her throat, and accused angrily.

Xiao Chuhan glanced at the door, and saw that there was no one else here except Fang Liangyu, so he didn't pretend.

"Are you going to quarrel with me over him?" He flattened his mouth and looked at Yun Yao with an aggrieved face.

With a golden crown and a gorgeous robe, snowy skin, and then putting on such an expression, Yun Yao was suddenly stunned and couldn't say a word.
