Chapter 52: Distrust
Liu Qianwen gasped, how could it be possible, how could it be the possibility she thought?
No way!
Then she stood up sharply and began to carefully observe the distribution of the surrounding terrain.
Licheng is located on a plateau, surrounded by mountains, with only one river running through the town.
The river is only a tributary, and neither the flow nor the width of the river is enough to cause flooding.
Especially in the days before and after the flood, Liu Qianwen had never heard of any continuous rainstorm, and when she thought that the flood came so suddenly, the people of the city did not take any precautions.
The more Liu Qianwen thought about it, the more she felt that her palms were cold, could it be that this was not a natural disaster, but man-made?
No, how could anyone in this world have such a great ability to make several towns suffer disasters, as well as plagues......
The wind gradually picked up on the top of the mountain, and with some coolness passed over Liu Qianwen's neck, for some reason, Liu Qianwen felt a trace of terrifying aura vaguely echoing in this mountain.
Standing on the edge of the mountaintop, Liu Qianwen slowly shook her head, and began to observe carefully, as if she wanted to find some place to prove that her conjecture was wrong, but the more she looked, the colder she felt.
"It seems that what you found is the same as what this king found." Nan Wuyang's voice was a little cool, like the wind on the top of the mountain, and he couldn't hear the anger.
"Lord Wang, did you already know something?" Liu Qianwen turned her back to Nan Wuyang, and felt a chill in her heart.
This flood was not a natural disaster at all!
The two were silent for a long time, until the wind on the top of the mountain became cooler and cooler, and Liu Qianwen heard a slight sigh, which was the first time she heard him sigh.
And this shallow sigh also seems to confirm the guess in Liu Qianwen's heart, with the topography of Licheng, unless the embankment of the main river upstream is released, or at least the heavy rain for more than half a month breaks the embankment, there will be no flooding at all.
"The prince wants to take me to see it today, that's it." Liu Qianwen said as she slowly turned around.
The eyebrows of Nan Wuyang Sword in front of him were full of sorrow and vague anger.
After another while, Nan Wuyang said slowly: "Sure enough, this king's Concubine Liu is very smart and can't hide anything from you." ”
He brought Liu Qianwen here today, he really wanted to tell her about it, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Liu Qianwen saw for himself that she was indeed very smart.
"But, since you already know, why don't you let the imperial uncle report to the emperor?"
Liu Qianwen's voice was full of anger, she saw those innocent people living so miserably along the way, and now she found that all this was man-made, and her heart was even more angry.
"Qianwen, calm down." It was rare for Nan Wuyang to speak to her in such a serious tone, "This king only found out about this matter in the past two days, and he also thought about reporting it to the emperor, but we have no evidence." ”
Nan Wuyang's words made Liu Qianyu gradually calm down, and she frowned.
"But is that all? Do you know who is behind this? As soon as these words came out, I saw Nan Wuyang's deep black eyes suddenly turn a little colder.
After a while, I heard him say coldly: "The person behind the scenes is still investigating, but I think there must be King Chu among them." ”
Liu Qianwen was still a little surprised when she heard this name, after all, she really couldn't think of any benefit to him from such a disaster in Licheng.
Thinking of his previous style, he nodded approvingly, "Have you ever thought about it, why did he do this?" ”
"I don't know this for the time being, but, Qianwen......" Nan Wuyang said and stopped, his dark eyes locked tightly on Liu Qianyan's body, with some unspeakable worry.
"Although this king doesn't know what the purpose of the people behind the scenes is, Licheng has become a place of right and wrong, and I hope you can leave here as soon as possible."
"No, I'm not leaving." Liu Qianyu's reaction was a little faster than Nan Wuyang's voice, and she rejected his proposal almost without hesitation.
"Qianwen, listen to me......" Nan Wuyang wanted to say something more, but Liu Qianyu didn't give him this chance at all.
"Now that the prince has suspected that the king of Chu did it, then I can't go back to Beijing, if I am intercepted by the king of Chu on the way back to Beijing and used to threaten you, won't it be even more dangerous at that time? Now that we're together, at least we have a look for each other, don't we? ”
Nan Wuyang was speechless by Liu Qianwen's words, and immediately smiled slightly, "This king suddenly discovered that you actually have such a clever mouth. ”
Liu Qianwen was about to say something, but Nan Wuyang suddenly said something that Liu Qianyu could remember in her life.
"Qianwen, since you don't leave this time, no matter what happens in the future, this king will not let you go, and in this life, you don't want to leave this king's side."
A love word came out of Nan Wuyang's mouth, inexplicably with some threatening meaning, but it was also like a fire, warming the warmest place in Liu Qianyang's heart.
She looked at Nan Wuyang, and suddenly a voice in her heart said, 'Accept her, accept her.' ’
"Okay, in this life, I will rely on you." Liu Qianwen whispered, and the smile on her face bloomed on her face without hiding it at all.
The breeze at the top of the mountain gradually dyed the affection that ignited between the two.
The time of warmth always passed quickly, and by the time the two of them came down from the mountain, the sky was completely blackened, and the starlight emitted a faint light.
At this time, the two of them did not have the same flying as when they came, they just rode their horses quietly and slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way as they walked. Rainbow Literature Network
Liu Qianwen still shrunk most of her body in Nan Wuyang's arms, and the night breeze brought some coolness, but she felt warm both physically and mentally.
Suddenly, remembering everything she had just seen, she broke away from Nan Wuyang's embrace and looked at him seriously. "Lord Wang, what do you say about Liu Zhanxiao?"
Her words made Nan Wuyang stunned for a moment, and then quickly came back to her senses, "Qianwen, but what did you find?" ”
"Since outsiders like us have discovered the scenery here, what about him as a Licheng City Lord?" The corners of Liu Qianwen's lips turned up coldly.
"It's just that I always feel that something is weird, but I can't say what is weird." Nan Wuqin's brows were also furrowed fiercely, recalling Liu Zhanxiao's behavior, it seemed to be very strange and normal.
Time passed slowly, and the two had to chat with each other, and before they knew it, they had returned to the gate of Licheng.
That's when it happened. A group of men dressed as officers and soldiers, armed with torches, trotted towards the two.
One of them was Liu Zhanxiao's guards, "His Royal Highness King An, Concubine Liu!" You're back. ”
Seeing this, the two turned over and dismounted.
"His Royal Highness King An, the city lord ordered me and others to find the two of you, saying that there is something to discuss with His Royal Highness King An."
A trace of doubt flashed on Liu Qianxiao's face, what could Liu Zhanxiao have to discuss with them in such a hurry?
Although they were confused, they still had to listen, and the two of them immediately asked people to lead the way towards the main mansion.
Liu Zhanxiao was already standing at the door early and waiting, and when she saw the two of them, she invited them to go to the study to discuss matters together.
As soon as he entered the study, Liu Zhanxiao retreated from the people in the room, and said to Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianwen with a serious face: "Lord Qiyu, Concubine Liu, the minister visited the surroundings today and found that a person was sneaking around the riverbank, so the minister sent someone to follow, and found that the person was damaging the riverbank!" ”
"What?" Liu Qianwen was taken aback, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Nan Wuyang.
They had just discussed the flood at the top of the mountain, but they didn't expect that someone would come to destroy the river embankment now.
I don't know if the king of Chu sent someone to do it, or if he saw that the disaster in Licheng had an improvement trend, so he sent someone to destroy this place?
Although Nan Wuyang was also surprised, he still shook his head quietly, "City Lord, can you catch that person?" ”
When Liu Zhanxiao heard this, he suddenly knelt down, "His Royal Highness King Hui'an, they, they, wounded a few guards guarding the city and fled. ”
"Ran away?" Nan Wuyang repeatedly chewed on Liu Zhanxiao's every move tonight, as well as his words, and then after a long time, he said, "City Lord, send someone to strictly guard the river embankment!" ”
"Yes, the minister understands, please rest assured." Liu Zhanxiao saw that he did not reprimand him, and the heart that was originally hanging immediately let go.
"The minister has already sent more manpower, and he will definitely catch the arrogant man, please rest assured, please rest assured."
"This king thinks that this person does not necessarily mean to destroy the river embankment, it may be an ignorant farmer, and City Lord Liu doesn't need to worry too much."
Nan Wuyang had an indifferent attitude on his face, "That's an official thing, no one dares to do it." ”
As he spoke, Nan Wuyang turned his head to Liu Zhanxiao, who was still kneeling on the ground and pleaded guilty, and said, "City Lord Liu doesn't have to blame himself too much, it's not a big deal, this king will take Concubine Liu back to the post station to rest first." ”
Liu Zhanxiao may not have expected that she would pass the test so easily, and after thinking about it, although An Wang is famous, he is also a good commodity in Jinyu.
Thinking about it, he put his heart down and saluted and said yes.
Liu Qianwen was a little inexplicably pulled back to the post station by Nan Wuyang, although she was puzzled, but she also knew that Nan Wuyang must have her own thoughts about doing this, since he didn't want to say it, then she wouldn't ask.
In this way, the two were silent for a long time, and suddenly, Liu Qianwen couldn't help but ask, "Wuyang, do you really think that the person who is afraid of destroying the river embankment is deliberate?" How could a farmer wound so many officers and soldiers and escape? ”
"Qianwen, you are also tired after a day, this king asked someone to prepare some supper." Nan Wuyang said.
Liu Qianwen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she only said that she would not let go of being with her during the day, and now she didn't tell her the real situation.
Isn't she trustworthy in his heart?
However, the supper was soon delivered, and he looked at Liu Qianwen with a smile and said, "Qianwen, try this." ”
Nan Wuyang sat on the side to eat with her, and from time to time she picked out some dishes that Liu Qianwen liked to give her, which was also careful and thoughtful.
Liu Qianwen, who hadn't eaten much for a day, didn't refuse him, anyway, people are iron and steel, and she won't be able to get along with her stomach no matter how angry she is.
"By the way, I discussed the construction of a rescue station in Licheng before, and the prince thinks it would be better to start construction." Liu Qianwen suddenly asked.
"The king thinks that this matter can be postponed for a few days, and when the emperor's uncle tells the emperor about the aid station, it is not too late to make plans."
Liu Qianwen nodded in agreement when she heard this, it is true that she has been busy with disaster relief in the past few days, and she has not had time to publicize the lottery.
In addition, there is a lottery lottery machine how to do it.
"Well, don't think about these issues when eating, it's not good for the stomach." Nan Wuyang still had his signature smile on his face, and his face, which was already very handsome, added some warmth at the moment.
