Chapter 10 - Heading North
How did Lin squint his eyes and take advantage of the fox fairy in his mind while looking at it, and he actually saw it into a god. Wu Zhiheng suddenly came over, blew into Lin He's ear, and said softly, "You can eat it." ”
Lin was caught off guard by Wu Zhiheng's move, as if her hidden thoughts had been detected, and she was so shy and shy. Lin He first looked at you for a moment, as if to say, I didn't look at you, even if I did, it was only unintentional, not intentional. Then she seemed to convince herself, calmed down again, raised her head slightly, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Wu Zhiheng looked at her little face pretending to be calm, with green sideburns and flushed faces, it was Chu Chu who was pitiful. He couldn't help but laugh silently, "It's not delicious when it's cold." ”
How did Lin look down and see the sea urchin steamed egg handed over, "Just one?" ”
"Well, I'll watch you eat."
"You look at me and I can't eat it." Lin was blushing and about to explode, so useless, I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to stuff myself in.
"Shall I feed you, then?"
“。。。”
At this time, there was a burst of birdsong in the mountains, which was a signal that Yu Ji had something to find them. Lin He got up with a loud voice, "First, go down the mountain first." As he spoke, he ran down the hill with an arrow.
In the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain, Lin Qing sat in the main hall, and Yu Ji and a young man also sat on the side.
Before anyone saw it, the sound came first, and the crisp girl's voice came into the hall, "Put this in the kitchen and warm it, I'll eat it alone for a while," Lin He gave the sea urchin in his hand to the little girl as soon as he entered the courtyard, and turned his head to look at Wu Zhiheng, "Well, eat it yourself, others won't even look at it." ”
As he spoke, a beautiful girl came into the eyes of the young man, with a delicate, flawless face, and two bent eyebrows. She was dressed in a wide and comfortable stone blue dress, the edges were washed a little white, her hair was pulled up high, her leggings were strong, and her slender jade legs appeared, and she walked in lightly.
She walked in front of Lin Qing with a sweet smile on her face, as if a hundred flowers were blooming at this moment.
"What are my father and my master looking for me?" It turned out that this was Lord Lin's daughter, the young man's heart was beating, and he hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that he would surprise the beauty.
"Let General Zeng smile, this is how the little girl Lin is." Lin Qing introduced his daughter, "This is Zeng Yun, General Zeng." ”
"The little girl has seen General Zeng." Lin stepped forward and saluted slightly, and said crisply.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, speaking of which, it is the younger generation of Lord Lin below, and it would be good for Miss Lin to call Zeng Yun in Xia." Zeng Yun got up and hurriedly returned the salute.
Lin raised his eyes and saw that this Zeng Yunying was sassy, with a golden crown, a white shirt, a long sword hanging from his waist, and Puyu on the scabbard. Although he is a general, he looks like a handsome young man, with a long body, but he looks a little shy.
Wu Zhiheng didn't feel good at all, not only did he start to slander Lin He. This girl actually looked at Zeng Yun with this kind of red fruit eyes, and there was no shyness of a boudoir girl! "In Xia Wu Zhiheng, he is Lin He's fellow uncle, and he has met General Zeng." Wu Zhiheng muttered in his heart as he stepped forward to speak, and at the same time took the opportunity to cut off the eye contact between the two of them, blocking most of Lin He with his body.
"I've seen Wu Shaoxia, Zeng Mou came to disturb this time, it's a bit tricky." Zeng Yun is really a polite and good boy, how Lin looked at it, the more he felt that this person was good-looking.
It turned out that this little general Zeng Yun was Lin Qing's old department when he was in the northwest, and he was also the current commander of the right and left capital. This time I came because of a strange thing happened in the northwest. Geographically, Turpan, Hami and Lop Nur constitute the triangle of eastern Xinjiang, which together connect the Hexi Corridor, and Lop Nur is the nearest passage to southern Xinjiang.
In the northwest of the yellow sand, Lop Nur has always played an important role in water and salt accumulation. The edge of the Tarim Basin extends from the western section of the Tianshan Mountains, the Pamir Plateau, the Kunlun Mountains, to the Yarkand River, the Weigan River, the Hotan River, the Tarim River, and finally to the source of life in the desert of Lop Nur.
Lop Nur is an important geographical component for the northwest and even for the entire land of China.
However, since last year, the water level in Lop Nur has begun to drop, affecting not only the local people's farming life near the water source, but also the entire Silk Road. The local garrison went up the river, trying to find the problem. Curiously, the amount of water in the upstream water source of Lop Nur has not changed much. In addition to the main river, the Tarim River, they also looked at other tributaries, and all of them remained unchanged.
The weather and temperature have not changed much from previous years. Lop Nur is like cooking oil out of thin air, evaporating and boiling. Zeng Yun ordered people to look through the local records, and this situation never happened. Zeng Yun couldn't figure out anything about this matter, and couldn't help but start one or two big. At the critical moment, Zeng Yun remembered Linqing, maybe this right and left capital prisoner would know something? Even if you've seen something like it before. So he immediately repaired a letter and asked Lin Qing for help, hoping to find a solution from Lin Qing.
After Lin Qing discussed with Yu Ji, he felt that this matter was most likely a natural disaster, but there was also a possibility of a human disaster. If someone obstructs it, it must be harmful to the country. So Lin Qing wrote back to Zeng Yun and told him that it was inconvenient to elaborate in the letter, and if he could meet and discuss in detail, maybe there would be a way to solve it.
Due to Lin Qing's special status, it was difficult to leave the southwest until he had to, so Zeng Yun hurried here.
In fact, Zeng Yun had already arrived at the Lin Mansion yesterday, and last night Zeng Yun and Lord Lin and Yu Ji discussed all night, and after understanding the process of the incident and the details of all parties, Lord Lin decided to entrust Yu Ji to go to the northwest to check it out.
"Your master has decided to take you and Zhiheng together."
"Me?" Lin turned his head to look at Yu Ji. was named by Yu Ji, she guessed that the matter here should not be so simple, I'm afraid it wasn't Yu Ji who felt something, "Okay, then did my mother agree?" ”
"I told your mother, our family is not an ordinary high-ranking family in the capital, since you were young, your mother and I didn't have the idea of letting you develop that kind of boudoir lady who stays at home. Especially now that your father is unofficial and light, you can go out and travel all over the world. And, of course, look at your opinions. If you don't agree, you can't go. "Ah, how Lin thought to himself, my parents are really not bad.
"I don't have an opinion, my father and my master will decide."
"Okay, what about Zhiheng?"
Everyone turned their heads to look at Wu Zhiheng in response.
