It rained heavily for seven days.

The ink-stained weather covered the sky all the time, and there was an oppressive atmosphere throughout the city. At first there was just a thunderclap, then tornadoes and torrential rain fell from the nine heavens.

The green bricks and tiles of all the squares of Shendu were washed by the rain, and they bit out a ray of light under the sunlight. Even though it's daytime, there aren't many pedestrians on the streets. The ditches on both sides of the long street were already covered with water, and the people of Shendu Prefecture had cleaned up the sludge from the ditches all night to ensure that the drainage measures for the entire city could be carried out smoothly.

The door of the shop is hidden, and at this time, unless there is an emergency, they will not go out. The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven do not know the suffering of the outside world, whether it is rain or snow, it is a rare time to relax. Some poets who have leisure and leisure will even organize poetry meetings to recite poems on such rainy days.

It's just that today, even these people are not in the mood to write poetry.

Even though the weather is unpredictable at the moment, even in ancient books, it is rare for a rainy day to fall for so long.

It was as if a hole had been pierced in the sky, and the rain kept falling. Qin Tianjian has already played the Ming Emperor three times, and it will still rain tomorrow, so he should prepare in advance.

The water surface of the Luoshui River has risen three zhang, and now if you stand in front of the imperial city, you can see the turbulent water of the Luoshui River.

Qiuguan Shuibu Langzhong braved the rain to rush to the river outside the city, and the heavy rain for several days had washed away the bridge across the Luoshui River. The bridge broke, cutting off traffic between the two places.

The river was very rough, and the shipping department had already notified the various ports to accept ships and take shelter in the harbor.

The most difficult thing is the embankment.

This embankment intercepts the entire Luoshui River outside the city, forming a natural waterway.

During the pre-Qin period, Emperor Wu of Qin once built this river embankment, which once became a barrier to protect the imperial capital. Later, after several generations of emperors sent people to repair, the river embankment has basically been completely solid.

But it is estimated that Emperor Qin Wu did not expect that there would be such a heavy rain one day. The river is now close to the top of the embankment, and once the embankment is completely broken, it will flow into the main road of the Luo River.

When the time comes, the whole god will be overwhelmed.

Under the heavy rain, there is a group of people who are like ant colonies, busy under the huge river embankment.

These people went into battle shirtless, whether it was the soldiers or the people who rushed to repair the canal, all of them were unstable at this time, and began to be busy carrying stones.

They had to fill in the height of the embankment before the water level was raised.

When Xie Jun came here, the construction site was already busy. The rain was pouring down, and everyone was so wet that they couldn't see the faces of other people.

"Where is your prince?" Xie Jun shouted three times in a row, and the man in front of him heard clearly.

The man pointed to the person standing on the high slope under the embankment, and he couldn't hear clearly, but only signaled that it was the prince.

Xie Jun hurried over with people, the distance between them was not large, but because they were all here to repair the canal, he was the only idler, so he took people to wait quietly beside him. When these people left, Xie Jun led the people over.

It's hard to imagine that the person in front of him, covered in mud and covered in embarrassment by the rain, is Lu Yuanshun, the king of Wei.

Unlike King Yan and King Liang, Lu Yuanshun was born from a concubine of the former Chaoyang Emperor, not the empress's biological son. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Yuanshun was also named the king of Wei and was given a fief to allow the construction of a mansion.

Because it's not a descendant, it can basically be said to be insulated from the throne. It is precisely because of this that King Wei is not involved in party struggle, but pays more attention to people's livelihood. In the fiefdom and the area of the capital, there is already the name of the virtuous king.

King Wei was covered in mud, standing in the crowd, rolling up his sleeves, without the appearance of a prince or nobleman.

"Your Highness!" Xie Jun shouted.

The rain was so loud that it muffled all the sounds nearby, and Xie Jun shouted three times in a row before King Wei could hear it.

Under the embankment, there is a towering lampstand and a small two-story building.

A waiter helped King Wei clean the mud from his body, but did not change his clothes. After a while, the king of Wei will continue to go to the embankment to direct the repair of the canal.

"Your Highness, can I ask if the loophole has been plugged?" Xie Jun bowed and said.

King Wei wiped his head with a towel and said, "The hole in the river embankment has been filled, but this is just drinking to quench your thirst." I don't know when the rain will fall this year, and if it still rains like this, the king can't guarantee whether he can prevent it. ”

King Wei handed the towel standing on the dirt to the attendant beside him, and sighed: "Did Qin Tianjian say when this rain will stop?" ”

"Today, Qin Tianjian is hurriedly going to meet the saint, but there is no news in the palace yet, and it is estimated that it is not a good thing. Your Highness, the princes in the court don't understand, but we know the key to this. If the riverbank is broken, then the whole god may be overwhelmed by the flood! Xie Jun's eyebrows were full of worried expressions.

King Wei's expression suddenly froze a little, and he looked at Xie Jun with a sharp look: "You want to play?" ”

Xie Jun said respectfully: "Your Highness, you have to take precautions!" Now that the war in the north is fierce, there can be no more turmoil in the Central Plains. The center of the entire imperial court is in this divine capital, if something happens, our Great Zhou ......"

Xie Jun didn't dare to continue, but bent his waist lower.

There were only two people left in the room, and they had all the waiters withdrew.

After a moment of silence, King Wei said: "This king knows that it is not trivial to let His Majesty and the entire center move, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to do it alone. On Lao Shangshu's side, this king will personally persuade him. As for you, if you play it, you can write the name of this king! ”

Xie Jun was overjoyed, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Outside, the rain continued.

Residents from all over Gyeonggi were busy overnight, finally plugging the loopholes that had broken down the river embankment a few days ago.

"Okay, my brothers have worked hard today. Next, we will guard it, so go down and rest first! An old man shouted.

Gradually, the people under the embankment heard the sound and began to withdraw from the embankment. And the latest group of folk men took the place of the original people.

"Brother, pull me!" A faint voice suddenly came from under the old man's feet, and the old man heard the sound and saw that a person had accidentally fallen to the edge of the cliff beside him.

Under the cliff is the rolling Luo River.

"Why are you so careless, come, grab my arm!" The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand.

At this moment, the old man suddenly felt that something seemed to float up from under the turbulent river.

It was a black thing, round, with only a little visible at first, and then the whole behemoth gradually revealed itself from underwater.

"Weird...... Monsters! Behind the old man, a scream was already heard.
