"That'...... Lord Wang, you are also with the officials, you go into the water to save people, you are much more tired than us. ”

"I still have some business, I'll leave later."

"Do you need our help?"

"No, you all withdraw."

Su Yuqi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say more. Several of the officials were discerning, and immediately understood, bowed with interest, withdrew from this place, and each went to find a place to rest. There were also some improvised strong men on the hillside, and they all went to rest together.

In order not to be late for tomorrow, and for fear that something would happen at night and be summoned at any time, he did not dare to go too far, so he rested in some of the nearest houses for a while.

There was an empty space on the hillside, and only Su Yuqi was left. Su Yuqi took a torch and stood on the hillside, looking at the still turbulent flood, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

After about a stick of incense, a figure swept towards Su Yuqi at an extremely fast speed.

The figure was close, it was none other than Su Jia, the chief housekeeper of the Su Mansion.

"King." Su Jia stepped forward and waved it.

Su Yuqi thrust the torch in his hand into the mud, took a deep breath, and said, "Su Jia, how are you doing over there?" ”

"Everything that can be done has been done, and what cannot be done can only be resigned to fate. After all, there are things that people can't do. The men sent by the king are already in place, and they are digging rocks to block the embankment, and they should soon be effective. ”

Su Yuqi thought for a moment before he said, "Su Jia, you said that someone is suspected of destroying the embankment, but there is real evidence?" ”

Su Jia's face darkened suddenly, and he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Su Yuqi, "Wang, look at this thing." ”

Su Yuqi took the thing in Su Jia's hand, it was a black mess, and he couldn't see what it was, so he picked up the pine oil torch, and looked at the thing, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Black powder?" ”

"Yes, it's black powder."

"I haven't seen this thing in years."

Su Jia let out a long sigh: "Not really." In the past, this thing was the most commonly used thing on the battlefield, and it was a good thing that hurt people's lives. ”

Su Yuqi looked at the black powder in his hand that was soaked with water and couldn't see it, and asked, "Where did you find this?" If it had been used to blow up the dam, it would have been washed away by the flood a long time ago, so how could it leave a trace? ”

"Coincidentally, I took people into the water to check on the situation, and one of the boats overturned, and one of the people who fell into the water was a very good water veteran, and he found this thing in a crack in a boulder under the water. It should have been soaked in water, and it was not fried at that time. ”

Su Yuqi was furious, but his eyes were like ice, and he said in a condensed voice: "Let me find out these bastards, and see that I don't skin them one by one!" Eat their meat raw! ”

Su Jia took a heavy breath, glanced at Su Yuqi without worry, looked at the rolling torrent again, and said in a low voice: "Wang, what do you think, who will do it?" After all, such a heinous thing is not something that anyone dares to do. ”

"Su Jia, did you also think of what happened in Beijing?" Su Yuqi looked at the other side from afar, and his tone became more and more gloomy: "Uncle Qing Wang is on the other side, right?" Now, I don't know when I will be able to return to the court. ”

"But even if he doesn't return to the court, the matter in Beijing is already a certainty."

"Not really. If he doesn't return to the court, he can have time to do a lot of things. ”

"The slave doesn't understand much."

"For example, the emperor can buy time and find a way to rescue Yu Ji, who is locked up in the Tingwei Mansion. For another example, Brother Chen and Yun Xiang can buy time to help the emperor consolidate his power. For another example, Uncle Qing Wang can leave himself clean. ”

"However, it is too ...... to use this method It's not human anymore. "Those people are people who can turn the clouds and rain with the touch of a finger, and Su Jia has not been able to speak more vicious words after all.

Su Yuqi said: "Everything is possible. But all this is conjecture, and we have no evidence yet. Perhaps, someone else did it. Until there is conclusive evidence, Su Jia, don't make a noise. ”

"That'...... Is the slave going to focus all his energy on this next? ”

Su Yuqi looked at Su Jia in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking about in his head, Su Jia waited for a cup of tea and didn't see Su Yuqi answer, and couldn't help frowning: "Wang? ”

Su Yuqi came back to his senses, but he looked worried, Su Jia asked, "Wang, do you have something on your mind?" If it is convenient to say, the king might as well tell the slave to listen, even if the slave cannot share the king's worries, he does not want to see the king hold his heart like this. ”

Su Yuqi took a deep breath, and his tone was a little dull: "Su Jia, Xuanlin is the person you chose for me. Actually, I've always wanted to ask, do you know this person? ”

Su Yuqi asked, making it clear that what she was thinking about was related to Zhou Ye. Su Jia was about to speak, but Su Yuqi suddenly changed his mind again: "Forget it, you still don't say it." ”

"Does the king want to know, but is he afraid to know?"

Su Yuqi was silent and did not answer. Silence is acquiescence, and Su Jia immediately understood.

"Wang, in fact, it is not that complicated, you want to understand him, it does not mean that you do not believe him. Sometimes, if you want to know more about a person, it's actually because you care about that person in your heart. ”

"That can be said?" Su Yuqi looked at Su Jia suspiciously.

"Naturally, it is. Wang, you, although you are gifted and intelligent, and are regarded as geniuses by the people of the Dongzhou Continent, there are some things that you are still young in the end. You...... I'm afraid I'm already in love with the dishman, right? ”

Su Jia spoke straight to the point, without beating around the bush, but Su Yuqi was shocked in his heart, and said, "You say, am I in love with him?" ”

Su Jia smiled gently and kindly: "The king can fall in love with him, this is the best result, isn't it?" In the next step, as long as he also falls in love with the king, it will be a happy ending. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yuqi couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart, and the smile went straight to the corner of his mouth from the bottom of his heart, but he was a little shy, "Su Jia, actually, I think he has actually fallen in love with me." ”

"Oh? That's the best. ”

"But...... He must still have some scruples about my identity and gender. ”

"It's nothing, after all, one day, he will dispel his concerns."

"Well, hopefully."

"So, what was the king's concern just now? Isn't it about the dish boy? Su Jia took it step by step, and finally led the matter to Su Yuqi's heart knot.

"yes. I think, you know Xuanlin better, what do you think of him? ”

"He? He is the best man for the king. He will also be the closest person to the king. ”

Su Jia's answer was very clever, neither putting the dish in the pile of good people, nor beating him to death with a rod. Su Yuqi understands that Pan Ye, just like himself, is not a completely good person, nor is he a completely bad person.

"But the man who will be closest to me, he may have done something behind my back."

"How?"

"I don't know where he found out, but he did, and it was about someone deliberately destroying the dam."

"Even if you do, there's nothing strange about it. After all, he doesn't seem to be a simple person. ”

"That's what you said." Su Yuqi took a deep breath, "Su Jia, at noon today, I saw Xuanlin. ”

Su Jia was a little surprised: "The boy is also here?" ”

"yes, he said he didn't worry about me, so he came. Moreover, he also took over the investigation of the embankment breach case. He...... He seemed to know something. ”

"So, is the king suspicious?"

"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. Su Jia, Xuanlin is too mysterious, and his ability is so big, I am suspicious, and it is not a day or two. ”

Su Jia looked at Su Yuqi kindly, and said softly: "If it weren't for the background of the prince of the dish, I wouldn't have chosen him for the king." Don't worry, Wang, he won't do anything harmful to our house. ”

Su Yuqi pursed the corners of her lips, "I do have concerns about this today. Su Jia, to tell you the truth, when I had this kind of thought in my heart, I also felt that I was quite unreasonable. ”

Su Yuqi paused, looking worried, "But...... I'm more afraid of something else. His temperament has always been to knock out teeth and swallow blood, and he won't let me be distracted. ”

Su Jia gently persuaded: "Wang, you used to be decisive in killing, and you have never been so indecisive. In fact, whether you are worried or suspicious, it's nothing, you can generously send a helper to him, or secretly send someone to investigate, I believe that the boy will not think crookedly. ”

"I'm not worried that he's going to think crookedly." Su Yuqi wanted to say, I wasn't worried that he would think crookedly, I was only worried that if I was suspicious of him, did it mean that I didn't love him enough, but in the end I didn't say it.

"Okay, Su Jia, I believe in Xuanlin's ability, just leave this matter to him."

Su Jia said: "Okay." That...... Now, Wang, you should find a place to rest first. ”

Su Yuqi said: "The medicinal materials for epidemic prevention will arrive tonight, I'll wait here, Su Jia, you are also tired, go to the villager's house for a night." ”

Su Jia also refused: "Wang, I'm guarding here, so you should go and rest." ”

Su Yuqi said lightly: "This is an order, don't fight anymore." ”

The king's order cannot be violated, and Su Jia can only obey the order, shake it, and retreat.

It wasn't until midnight that the sound of horses' hooves came from a distant place, knowing that it was the people and horses transporting medicinal herbs who had arrived, Su Yuqi walked to the top of the slope and planted the pine oil torch at the highest place.

The person who delivered the medicinal herbs saw the torches from a distance, sped up his speed, and in a moment he was already in front of him, stopped the carriage, and the leader hurried up the hillside, knelt down and saluted: "Lord Qi, the subordinates have transported the medicinal materials, and the nine cars have all arrived at their destination safely." ”

"Well, you get up. It's been a hard work. Su Yuqi helped him weakly.

When the medicinal materials arrived, he should have been happy, but Su Yuqi couldn't be happy at all.
