Wheels!

The carriage drove along the wide official road to Xiangyang.

On the way, Pang Degong informed Liu Xiu in detail of the entire process of the incident, and then said: "You are far away in Lumen Mountain, and Cai Mao and Liu Cong still don't stop, so you can only fight back." This time, with the help of the opportunity created by Cai Mao for you, you can show a little more ability in front of Liu Jingzhou, and let the people of Jingzhou be grateful to you. ”

Liu Xiu was grateful in his heart and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

Without Pang Degong's support, it would be very difficult for Liu Xiu to expand the influence of things.

All this is based on the operation of Pound Gong.

Pang Degong chuckled and said, "What the old man does is based on your ability. If you don't have enough ability, even if I give it my all, it's useless. ”

The two masters and apprentices were chatting about things, and before they knew that time had passed, the carriage had entered the city.

Finally, the carriage stopped outside the state chaplain's office.

Pang Degong and Liu Xiu got out of the carriage and entered the mansion directly.

After the attendant passed the message, Liu Biao quickly came to the hall.

The two sides saluted, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

Liu's face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Xiu'er is studying in Lumen Mountain, and he has worked hard. ”

Pang Degong said: "Xiu'er is sensitive, studious, and full of understanding. Teaching such a disciple is not only not hard, but on the contrary, it is a pleasure. Liu Jingzhou has a son like this, which is enviable. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his heart felt like he had been ironed, he was extremely comfortable, and he had more face.

Suddenly, Liu Biao asked: "The old man heard that when Xiu'er was studying in Lumen Mountain, he boasted that he had found a solution to the drought in Jingzhou. Is this true?"

Liu Xiu's heart moved, and he understood that not only Cai Mao made a move, but even Cai's did it. The news that he wants to solve the drought in Jingzhou, Cai Mao's identity is special, and it is not suitable to mention it to Liu Biao, so it must be the wind of Cai's fan.

Pang Degong's heart was like a mirror, and he smiled: "This matter, seven points true, three points false." ”

Liu Biao asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Pang Degong replied: "Seven points true, because Xiu'er is dealing with the drought. ”

On the first day that Xiu'er followed the old man up the mountain, a farmer near Lumen Mountain came to the old man, saying that the farmland was short of water, and hoped that the old man could find a way to solve it. ”

"Since the beginning of spring, Jingzhou has experienced a long-lasting drought that is almost impossible to solve. ”

The old man didn't think of a solution, and thought about beating Xiu'er, so that he wouldn't his tail after he became famous in Lianxianglou, so he asked him to find a way to solve the drought in the farmland near Lumen Mountain. ”

"Unexpectedly, the matter spread a little outrageously, and it turned out to be a matter for Xiu'er to solve the drought in Jingzhou. ”

However, Xiu'er didn't live up to expectations, and it really happened. ”

Pang Degong looked excited, and said: "Xiu'er read a lot of books, thought day and night, and finally designed a farm tool that could take water from the river to irrigate the farmland under the inspiration of the overturned car. The new type of farm implements are called cylinder carts, which can automatically take water. Jingzhou's water system is well-developed, and the terrain is flat and open, so the cylinder car is just right. If it is promoted, it can indeed alleviate the drought in Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed and said: "Pang Gong thinks that if it can be done, it will definitely be done." It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, go, and the official will go to Lumen Mountain immediately. ”

As he spoke, Liu Biao was about to get up.

"Liu Jingzhou is slow!"

Seeing this, Pang Degong hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

Liu Biao was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else about Pang Gong?"

Pang Degong replied: "Irrigation is an extremely important event. Before coming, the old man looked at the days, and tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac. The old man plans to irrigate by the Han River at the foot of Lumen Mountain tomorrow morning. ”

After Liu Biao heard this, he said, "Yes!"

Pang Degong's face was calm, and he said: "Although the production of the cylinder car has been completed, there are still some bits and pieces to deal with in the future. Xiu'er and I didn't stay much longer, and we had to rush back to deal with it. ”

Liu Biao bowed his head and said: "Xiu'er, it is your blessing to study with Pang Gong." Whether you are a person or a scholar, you have to be ashamed to ask, you know?"

Liu Xiu said respectfully: "My son understands!"

"Farewell!"

Pang Degong gave up his hand and left with Liu Xiu.

Liu Biao sat in the hall, thinking about going to Lumen Mountain tomorrow to watch the scene of fetching water, and his heart was hot. Immediately, he issued an order for the civil and military officials in Jingzhou to gather at the state pastoral mansion before dawn tomorrow, and then go to Lumen Mountain together.

The news spread quickly.

When Cai got the news, he was nervous, and immediately sent someone to invite Cai Mao to the house.

In the room, the lights flickered.

Cai's face was gloomy and he said, "De Jue, listen to my husband, Liu Xiu has really found a solution to the drought. Early tomorrow morning, the husband will lead the civil and military ministers to go. What do you think about this?"

Cai Mao smiled and said disdainfully: "I am still sure that Liu Xiu's solution cannot succeed. There are so many talented people in Jingzhou, but they haven't come up with a solution, how could Liu Xiu think of a solution. ”

Hearing this, the nervous look on Cai's face slowed down slightly.

After a moment of silence, Cai said, "No matter what, you must prepare with both hands." ”

Cai Mao said: "What are my sister's plans?"

Cai said: "First, you immediately send the dead soldiers to Lumen Mountain to destroy the cylinder car that Liu Xiu used to get water, so that Liu Xiu cannot demonstrate the process of taking water; ”

A look of shock appeared in Cai Mao's eyes, he didn't expect Cai to be so bold.

Such an arrangement is too bold.

Cai Mao sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Sister, it is definitely impossible to send a dead soldier there." ”

"Why?" asked Chua.

Cai Mao explained: "The Cai family and the Pang family are both Jingzhou families, and the Pang family is low-key, but it is not something that can be easily provoked. Moreover, the drought in Jingzhou has affected thousands of people. At this juncture, the lord urgently needs a solution. Alleviating the drought is a major event in Jingzhou, once the cylinder car is destroyed, the lord will inevitably track it to the end, and finally find the head of the Cai family, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cai's eyes burned with anger, and he said, "Then after watching it tomorrow, you must slander Liu Xiu's cylinder car." ”

Cai Mao didn't agree, and said, "I'll improvise." ”

Cai frowned and said, "Do you want Liu Xiu to become famous? Once Liu Xiu rises, it will be a threat to Cong'er. ”

Cai Mao said: "Sister, Liu Xiu is escorted by Pang Degong, and it is not easy to deal with Liu Xiu. You see that today Pang Degong personally took Liu Xiu to meet the lord, which is obviously to support Liu Xiu. ”

Cai gritted his teeth and said, "You must know that Liu Cong is married to a woman from the Cai family. Now, I will not allow anyone to pose a threat to Liu Cong's position. Even the slightest hint must be controlled. ”

Cai Mao said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

After a pause, Cai Mao said again: "We dealt with Liu Xiu several times, but Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation. After thinking about it, I felt that instead of dealing with Liu Xiu, it was better to let Gongzi Cong behave more and let him become famous in Jingzhou. ”

Cai said: "There are not many opportunities like this. ”

Cai Mao thought for a while and said, "Everything, I'll talk about it after I see it tomorrow." What my sister has to do now is to stabilize Gongzi Cong and let him not mess up. As long as Gongzi Cong is doing everything as usual, no matter what Liu Xiu does, it will have no effect on Gongzi Cong. After all, Liu Xiu is a concubine, which is a disadvantage that he can't change. ”

Cai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will persuade Cong'er." ”
