The scorching sun scorched the earth and lit up scorching smoke.

The grass and trees are withered, and the dry soil is deeply cracked.

Although it was spring and March, it was as hot as the heat.

"How can the moat dry up? When did it happen, and why didn't the king know anything about it? Liu Che'er hurriedly followed behind the attendant and asked anxiously.

Like Liu Che'er, Tangtai Mingyue heard about this for the first time. Knowing that he was guilty of dereliction of duty, while walking, he did not forget to ask Liu Che'er for his guilt: "Prince, this matter is a negligence of Weichen, please surrender to the prince!" ”

Liu Che'er wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The most important thing now is to solve the problem of water sources." As for the punishment, let's talk about it later! ”

"Yes!" Yutai Mingyue leaned over and finished speaking, striding to follow.

He is a weak scholar, he is not as good as those few people who have practiced martial arts, he has walked such a way, and the weather is extremely hot, he has long been physically exhausted, just barely holding on.

The guards led Liu Che'er and the others to the moat, only to see that the mighty and fierce moat in the past was like a shriveled snakeskin at this time.

The river seemed to be drained overnight, leaving only a thick layer of silt at the bottom. The white belly of the fish is exposed everywhere.

"How can this be......" Liu Che'er took a few steps back in shock.

"This moat can't all evaporate overnight, how many things have you not reported?!" Xiao Minglang dragged the attendant, so angry that the green tendons on his neck were exposed.

It was the first time he had been so angry.

The attendant said at a loss: "The little one doesn't know, today the protector suddenly sent someone to the palace to report, and the little one just sent their words back to the prince." The little ones don't know! ”

"Protector? He can't come here at the moment, does he want to wait for the prince to invite him personally?! Xiao Minglang let go of the squire's collar and said angrily.

"The little one, go and call the nurse!" After the squire finished speaking, he crawled and ran away.

Liu Che'er looked at the dry corridor and sighed: "I think at the beginning, how fierce this moat was, it could still break the entire Pei County, but now, if you say no, it will be gone!" When the moat is gone, how will the people of the city drink water? ”

Liu Yikang stepped forward and persuaded: "Third brother doesn't have to worry, there will always be a way!" ”

"Cause and effect cycles. At the beginning, the crown prince Liu Yifu attacked Pei County and broke the river and destroyed the city, perhaps this is God's punishment for mankind! Xiao Minglang remembered the houses that had been washed away by the moat, and they were starving all over the field, and he couldn't help but look grim and said angrily.

"The minister participated...... The prince ...... "The guard guarding the moat ran to Liu Che'er in a panic and knelt down while holding his hat and collar.

Liu Che'er asked sternly: "Protector! As a guard of the moat, you are derelict in your duties and do not report it, what crime should you be guilty of?! ”

The protector was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and said, "The prince forgives the sin!" The prince forgives his sins! The minister didn't know that the situation would develop so seriously, the prince must listen to the minister's explanation! ”

"Let's tell me the details soon!" Liu Yikang shouted angrily.

"Yes, yes...... Although the moat did not dry up overnight, the water level dropped unusually fast! It was only three full days before the river was completely dry! At first, the river dropped by two meters, and the minister thought it was because of the heat. The next day, it dropped sharply by more than ten meters, and the minister did not dare to be negligent, and personally took people to investigate the cause, and wanted to wait for the results to come and tell the prince, who knew that it was only a day later, and the river would dry to the end! The minister sent someone to inform the prince that he had just returned from Hexi, and the minister was incompetent...... Please punish the king! The nurse said with a handful of snot and tears.

Liu Che'er was the most soft-hearted, seeing that the protector was excusable, he no longer blamed in his heart, he softened and said: "Get up first!" Tell me about this king, what have you found? ”

The protector wiped away his tears and stood up from the ground tremblingly, "Back to the prince, the minister has found it." The reason why the moat dried up so quickly was that it was the upper reaches of the moat, which was blocked by a broken mountain. The source of the moat is the water of the Yellow River, the water of the Yellow River is blocked by this broken mountain, and the moat cannot be replenished in time. ”

"I see, do you know where the water of this moat is going?" Liu Che'er hurriedly asked.

The protector replied: "Although the water of the moat does not have the help of the water of the Yellow River, the water potential is still not small. After the terrain was changed, the water flowed to Luling in the west. At this moment, it is estimated that Luling County has already been flooded! ”

"Luling County? Is that the second brother's territory? Liu Yikang asked in surprise.

Xiao Minglang stared into the distance, "King Luling's peaceful life has been broken. In Luling County, there is nothing we can do. Now the first thing to do is to solve the problem of the moat. ”

Liu Che'er thought about what he was about to say, only to hear another guard step forward and report: "Lord Wang, it's not good!" A dozen residents have just come to report that the water of more than a dozen wells in the city has dried up! ”

"What should have come has come after all...... Take this king to see it! After Liu Che'er finished speaking, he had just taken two steps forward, when he suddenly felt a blockage in his chest, dizziness, and fell down weakly......

In the palace of the king of Yidu, Huayan led Lilinlang to the backyard where she lived, she still didn't know anything about the moat at the moment, and no one in the mansion came to report.

Hua Yan enthusiastically pressed Tatelinlang on the chair and sat down, and poured a cup of tea into her hand.

Zhong Laosan was taken by Limu to the infirmary to bandage his wounds.

"What the hell do you want to do?!" Tateshiro threw the teacup on the table, and the tea overflowed.

Hua Yan picked up the teacup, glanced at Tatelinlang lightly, and blew the tea leaves on the water unhurriedly.

"I've found out that the girl is an impatient, and it's easy to suffer." Hua Yan said with a smile.

Tateshi Linlang snorted coldly, "Miss Painting is bothered, but it's better to be nosy!" ”

Hua Yan didn't seem to hear it, but still asked, "Where is Miss Tate's hometown?" Do you have any relatives at home? ”

Tatelinlang cocked Erlang's legs, pouted and replied word by word: "I said, you don't need to care!" ”

Huayan smiled, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and continued: "What year was the girl born?" Do you remember your birthday? ”

Tateshi, Linlang slammed the table, jumped up and said angrily: "You! What exactly do you want to say? This girl doesn't have time to chat with you! ”

Hua Yan gradually retracted his smile, got up and walked slowly towards the hall under the hall, "I don't care how much you resent me, you have to patiently listen to me every word of what I say next, can you do it?" Hua Yan looked at Tateshi, and said in a low voice.

Tate, Linlang's hair stood on end in shock by the change in her face, and she pursed her lips aggrievedly and sat down again.

"The fourth prince values you very much, and it is not impossible to accept you as a concubine in the future." Hua Yan said slowly.

"What did you say?!" Tatelinlang jumped up again and asked in surprise.

She has always been careless, if it weren't for the painting to tell her about it, she really didn't know that Liu Yikang had this thought about her. She just thinks that the stupid guy likes to listen to her own songs.

Hua Yan glanced at Tateshi, and Lilinlang obediently sat down again.

Hua Yan continued: "But this is not your blessing, on the contrary, it will ...... The days of the emperor's house are always not peaceful. In short, you can't follow the Four Princes. ”

Huayan knew Liu Yikang's final ending, and she didn't want Lily Linlang to be implicated. Because of this, he took her to the side hall and persuaded her bitterly.

"Why ......" Tateshi Linlang secretly glanced at Huayan, saw that she was facing away from her, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Hua Yan sighed, turned around and said, "Since you and I have known each other, it is fate. If you wish, I would like to be a sister to you. At that time, you can live in Taoyuan with your stepfather, and you don't need to wander around, and no one dares to bully you anymore. ”

Huayan stared out the window, smiled, and said, "You don't have to worry about living in Taoyuan." There are a lot of lovely people out there who are willing to give you support and help. Don't worry, it's not fun, the scenery is the most pleasant. ”

Tateshi Linlang sneered, "Why do you think that I will do what you say?" ”

Her smile froze, and she asked coldly, "What do you want?" ”

Tateshilinlang stood up, walked to Huayan's side and said proudly: "I know why you tried your best to win me over, don't think that I will be deceived by your rhetoric!" You are afraid of the fourth prince, you are afraid of the power in his hands, and then, you are also afraid of me, because I have always been against you, and you are afraid that the fourth prince will marry me and be instigated by me to check and balance you. Am I right? Draw a lady? ”

Looking back, a pair of gray and cold eyes broke through Tateshi's fragile defense.

She sneered and turned back to sit back in her seat. What should be said has already been said, the moth's ideal is fire, what else can she do?

After a long time, Huayan said softly, "You go back." ”

Tatelinlang patted the dust on his body and replied: "You don't care where I go, but what I can tell you is that I will never leave the palace, and I will never leave the fourth prince!" ”

After speaking, Tatelinlang curled her mouth and jumped out of the backyard of Huayan.

Sheng Lan was puzzled: "Why should Miss waste her words? It's all for her good, but she is angry with you everywhere, I really don't know good people's hearts! ”

Hua Yan waved his hand to stop, "No need to say more, you help me call Limu, I have something to say to him." ”

Sheng Lan was about to continue complaining, but he had to retreat and call Limu back to the front of the hall.

Limu ran into the door, looked around, and saw that there was only a painting face, and he returned to a listless appearance.

Hua Yan saw through his thoughts, stepped forward and pulled Limu to sit down, "I know, you want to see Miss Tate, right?" ”

Limu raised his head in surprise and lowered it shyly. "How does Sister Yan know?"

Hua Yan smiled helplessly, "I originally wanted to help you inquire about her background, but she ...... In the end, it was to no avail. ”

Limu Zhizhi said: "Sister Yan, what do you mean......

Huayan knocked Limu's head, "What do I mean, you still don't know?" You like the girl Tate, I saw it when I was in Linshui County. I'm not trying to help you be a matchmaker! ”

The lower the head from the wood became, the shorter it became, and he said embarrassedly, "Sister Yan, don't talk about it...... I didn't say that......"

Painted Yan changed his expression, sat down beside Limu, and said seriously: "I see that you are depressed all day long, because Miss Tate's and the fourth prince are close, right?" ”

Limu glanced up at Huayan and was silent.

"I'm not satisfied with you, I have just persuaded her to leave the fourth prince, but ...... Miss Tate's will never be the same as you, not to mention that her heart already belongs to something else. Limu, with deep affection, will eventually be hurt by love, you have to see this clearly, endure this time, everything will be fine. Hua Yan looked at Limu worriedly and said.

Limu lowered his head and never said a word. He admits that he is stupid, stupid and cowardly, and he doesn't even dare to say that he likes someone. Now that I understand her heart, why should I bother myself? Limu thought about it, raised his head again and said, "Sister Yan, this matter should have been fought for by myself, but I still let you worry about it." But don't worry, I'll figure it out! ”

Hua Yan nodded with satisfaction, and sent away Limu with a heavy heart.

The wind groans at dusk, saying goodbye to a short life.

Painting his face to find the sky, leaning on the railing and muttering to himself, "Ask what is the situation in the world......
