Because of its close proximity to the Dinghe River, the flood was particularly serious, with all the rice fields and wheat fields destroyed, and most of the village houses and houses were destroyed by the flood.

By this time, the flood had receded, the silt had been cleared, and the restoration of homes was in full swing.

The people who participated in the construction of houses and houses included county government officials, and more often were residents of their own villages, and laborers from other villages who came spontaneously or through the government were recruited by the government to compete for a chance to rebuild their homes and provide shelter for the victims before the middle of winter came.

As far as the eye can see, there are all hemp cloth clothes, sweating like rain to carry soil and tiles, and the sound of sawing wood and the sound of laborers shouting and cheering are mixed together, and it is in full swing.

Among the craftsmen, there are naturally people who know each other, but there are also faces who are unfamiliar with each other.

At this time, in the afternoon, a group of middle-aged men dressed in coarse linen caftan brown and tall waists sat around a mound to "rest", and they did not attract attention at all.

No one wonders just because they're strangers.

No one noticed their gloomy gaze, and from time to time they swept towards the pair of young men in brocade clothes standing on the embankment not far away.

No one would have heard their deliberately muffled arguments.

"We don't have many opportunities left, if we wait for the third prince to return with the eldest princess, it will be even more difficult to act."

"In Bingzhou City, I have to take care of those patrolling the city guards, and the prince travels, and he is well guarded, and there is not much time to start."

"If the three princes hadn't suddenly fallen from their horses that day, so that they couldn't hit them in one hit, there was a risk of startling the snake...... "One of the men with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes and deep facial features was quite regretful.

"Your Highness has told you not to involve the Patriotic Mansion unless it is absolutely necessary."

"But today, that little lady is walking with the third prince again!" A man with a white face and a clean beard was very anxious, facing the person with deep facial features: "Big brother, miss today, wait back in the city of Bingzhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a chance." ”

Apparently the eagle-eyed man was the leader of the dead men.

When the prince and the princess drove back to Beijing, not only were they escorted by the prince's mansion, but also the guards of the Guogong Mansion.

The eagle-eyed man made up his mind for a moment: "Keep an eye on them, wait for the plane, and try not to hurt the little lady." ”

On the embankment far away, the "two" noble young men did not perceive the imminent danger, at least the beautiful scenery, and their minds were not on this at all, she had already thrown the assassination of the third prince out of the clouds.

Today's tour of Pinan with the eldest princess is the last day of travel before returning to Beijing.

She had long been impatient with those nobles who spontaneously accompanied the eldest princess to the disaster area, and the nobles who "observed the people's feelings" stayed in the county government to talk nonsense, and her anxious mood made it difficult for her to maintain a calm mind and socialize with others, and talk nonsense.

She wanted to take a final look at the place where the prince had done his best, and he may have also supervised the dredging and dredging of the flood where she stopped at this time, but at that time, as far as the eye could see, it should still be a bleak scene of broken walls and desolation, if there was no sudden incident in Xiangzhou, at this time, he should be side by side with her, seeing that a disaster is coming to an end, watching the reconstruction of the homes of the people here, I don't know if the anger and heaviness in my heart will be diluted?

But at the moment, my heart is not easy.

Only then did he really feel the responsibility he called in his mouth.

If the left and right ministers are allowed to continue to control the government and form parties for personal gain, so that officials only know how to flatter, form gangs and factions, and disregard the people's livelihood for the sake of power and wealth, those who are in a desperate situation and man-made disasters will never only merge with the people in one place.

Who doesn't want peace, joy, and a prosperous life? However, these people, life and death were trampled into grass and mustard ants by the powerful and powerful people, and she had not witnessed the tragedy of the floods with her own eyes, let alone heard and watched those people who had lost their relatives and whose homes were destroyed crying bitterly and were in a desperate situation, just standing here, they all felt full of heavy hearts, not to mention how angry he should have been when he learned that the tidal flats were occupied and the state officials were hiding the epidemic.

Shi De is not accidental, nor is it an individual.

Even if the metallographic is eradicated, it is still far from the "rule of Qingping".

Reform of the bureaucratic system is imperative.

But how difficult must this be?

Therefore, he knew that his safety was in danger, but he also insisted on going to danger.

And what she has to do is not to cry and keep it, let alone wait passively with grief, although the help is weak, she must do her best to help his plan go smoothly and go all out for his safe return.

has the qualifications to stand side by side with him, and only then does he live up to his life.

"Seeing this scene, I am very worried about Yuanyang, I don't know where he has been now, and I don't know what the epidemic situation in Xiangzhou is." A certain demon suddenly sighed, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and there was a slight afterglow, and he was in a trance without a trace in the center of Yijing's frowning eyebrows.

Over the past few days, while Yijing's heart has made the three princes jealous, he has also gradually had great doubts about Yu Feng's trip to Xiangzhou, and it is not the first time that he has been tempted by words.

Since that night, the two of them have exposed their words in front of each other, Yijing has made no secret of his avoidance of the three princes, but the helpless thing is that this demon's face is comparable to the city wall, and he has such a noble identity as the prince, just like today he is bent on following Yijing out to "relax", who can do anything about him?

Even the eldest princess felt more relieved that there were three princes with her.

However, Yijing's guard against him will not be loosened for a minute.

Regarding the plot of the golden phase, it is not yet the time to make it public, especially to hide it from the three princes - Yi Jing thinks that if this demon learns that Yu Feng is in danger, maybe she will take the opportunity to cause chaos, not because she is amorous, but very sure of the ambition of the three princes, and the Weiguo Mansion is what he must strive for, so the most direct way is to marry.

Of course, this demon has already noticed the "two-hearted promise" between her and Yu Feng, and will inevitably regard Yu Feng as an obstacle, and he will not dare to act rashly on the surface, but if he takes advantage of this dangerous situation, he will do something bad from it......

Yi Jing deeply thought that the third prince had such means and treacherous hearts.

is Wan Er smiled: "Now that we have the experience of merging the state with prevention and control, the officials who want to come to Xiangzhou will not be in a hurry." "I didn't mention the son.

"Doesn't the fifth sister think that this matter is also a coincidence?" The third prince squinted the corners of his eyes again: "Originally, the nobles of Bingzhou and Xiangzhou were sincere to Jin Xiangzhongcheng, but it was these two places that breed malaria one after another. ”

The demon really noticed the strangeness in it.

"What does Your Highness mean...... The epidemic in Xiangzhou is also because of the man-made disaster of Jin Xiang's single-minded accumulation of wealth? Yijing bowed slightly: "This is indeed possible, but but, Shi De has been arrested, and Jin Xiang is now difficult to protect himself, even if the officials in Xiangzhou have premeditated, they don't dare to have any more carelessness now." ”

This is exactly what the third prince couldn't understand, so he also bowed his head: "I guess, although Jin Xiang had an early attempt, but he didn't expect the incident to happen so quickly, and the officials of Xiangzhou were also in a dilemma at this time, or Jin Xiang had already intended to let the infected people flow to Xiangzhou, in short, malaria had been born at this time, and it could not be concealed, so he went to Kyoto, and the saint asked Yuanyang to go, even if he had the idea of caring for the people and quelling the epidemic, he also had the intention of finding out the hidden situation, so that he could not escape the blame of Jin Xiang." ”

"Your Highness's words are not unreasonable." Of course, Yijing will not refute it.

"Fifth sister, look at that piece, the village house has been completed, why don't we go and take a look, and we can also return to the county government by the way, it has been some time since I came out, and my aunt and grandmother will inevitably be worried." The third prince seemed to be in a relaxed mood today, no longer as bleak as a few days ago, and the thick acid in his chest also dissipated, of course, he himself had not forgotten the killer who was lying in the dark and did not know where to come, and he did not plan to stay outside.

The two of them traveled, and they brought the guards, and Yijing simply abandoned the car and rode the horse today because he was dressed in men's clothes, but because the village road Tianlong was not very spacious, and there were cattle cart porters coming and going, they could not gallop on horseback, and moved forward slowly, and only after a moment did they arrive at the newly completed village house.

Most of the villagers, both men and women, went to the front construction site to help, in response to the government's call to build their own homes, and in this village, there were only a few children playing in the lanes of the dam.

A piece of peace and happiness.

The mentality of the children is always bright when they give a little sunshine, as if the flood disaster and the epidemic did not happen.

Looking around, there is a lot of room for 40 or 50 families, but most of the roads have not yet been filled, and there are potholes, and only a gravel road through the houses is newly built and very smooth.

Naturally, it is necessary to pass through this road and lead to the official road.

The gravel road was not very wide, and a few children were chasing and playing, so the group dismounted, intending to walk through the village.

Qiu Yue and Xia Ke rode a horse for the first time this time, because they were slow, they could still sit firmly, but it was a little difficult up and down, and they had to rely on the guards to reach out to each other, even so, Qiu Yue still almost fell, and an exclamation caused the children to stop playing and look at this group of nobles in brocade with curiosity.

Among them, there was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, when she saw Yijing's green clothes and brocade, her eyes lit up, and she jumped forward and ran forward, half looking up at her little face, biting her lip and not speaking.

Seeing that it was just a child, the guard naturally wouldn't stop the scolding.

Seeing her round face and round eyes, Yijing was so cute and interesting that she couldn't help but reach out and "light" it, but the little girl stretched out her arm and hugged her waist.

"You're the son of the world!"

Kindness? What's going on......

Qiu Yue and Xia Ke looked at each other, both a little confused.

The third prince saw that several little boys were also hugging him, and they all seemed to want to hug the "prince", so he hurriedly stepped in front of him and coughed: "Don't be naughty, she is not the prince." ”

Yijing glared angrily at someone's back with his arms outstretched, like an eagle protecting a chicken, and "light" the little girl's face: "Why do you think I'm the son of the world?" ”

"I heard A-Niang say that this time thanks to Brother Shizi, we have a new house to live in, and we have enough rations, and Ermao's father and mother are suffering from malaria, and it is thanks to Brother Shizi that he can recover, Brother Shizi came to our village last time, and looked at it from a distance, and it was the clothes he was wearing." The little girl turned her head and said to the little boy who was eating her index finger next to her: "Ermao, you also saw it that day, is the younger brother wearing this clothes?" ”

Qiu Yue and Xia Ke suddenly realized that their feelings were only about clothes and not people, and it was estimated that the children didn't even see the eyebrows of the son at that time, so they only saw a green coat.

I heard the little girl say: "Daddy said that he wanted to repay his kindness, Brother Shizi, you saved us, we have to invite you to eat rice cakes." I couldn't help but say that I was going to go home with the beautiful scenery.

"Hey! Little girl, you recognize the wrong person. It was the third prince who stopped him, but as soon as he turned around, the children were not blocked, they just rushed up, and they all wanted to push Yijing into a room next to them, and the green clothes instantly printed a few black palm prints.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to stop them or not.

It was a group of enthusiasm and chaos.

But suddenly I heard a chaotic sound.

The three princes frowned, and when they raised their eyes, they saw more than ten hemp caftan brown gushing out of the fork in front of them, blocking them with a cold face, and the cold swords in their hands were held in a long way, lined up.

When I turned around again, I saw that on top of a cattle cart that had followed far away just now, more than ten strong men jumped down, and they were also speeding up with their swords to outflank them, blocking the way to retreat.

The corners of the third prince's lips were cold - careless! Although he had noticed that there was a cattle cart following behind him, he only thought that it was the labor of transporting building materials, but after a cursory glance, he saw that they were wearing linen clothes and could not carry sharp weapons, so he did not care, but he did not know that they were assassins, and it was obvious that the weapons were hidden in the cattle cart.

And the group of people in front of them obviously saw them coming to this village and set up an ambush in advance!

"Hide in the house, don't come out!" Between the lightning and flint, the three princes pushed a beautiful scene that was stunned by the "sudden ambush", and pulled out the long sword on his waist with a bang.

And the guards who were helpless against the children also woke up immediately, and they unsheathed their swords one after another, surrounding the three princes and Yijing.

There was a loud neighing of horses, as if the horn had sounded on the battlefield!
