Chapter 168

Murong Jin, who had just arrived at the embankment where the embankment was rising, stumbled, and then held the trunk of the tree with one hand, and in the rain curtain, the nearby defenders who had rushed over to dredge the waterway and strengthen the embankment were all pale, and the rain was flying, so that people couldn't open their eyes.

Standing on the high ground and taking a hurried look, Murong Jin recalled the county chronicles and topographic maps he had seen before, wiped his face, only to feel dizzy, and stopped Zhou Bai, who was going over to help, and said, "Let them withdraw, you can't do this." ”

Zhou Bai turned around when he heard the voice, and in the faint light of the nearby oil lamp, Zhou Bai's eyes widened, "Your Highness...... Your face...... What's wrong......"

Murong Jin was slightly puzzled, touched his face, and finally felt that something was wrong, twisted his fingertips, a little sticky, looked down, the dark traces were quickly washed away in the rain, looked down at the hand that wiped his face at the moment in front of him, looked at the palm of the hand that did not know when he drew a bloody scar, and then turned his head to look at the trunk that he was supporting, and the place where the trunk he was holding was traces of different shades of color, and suddenly it became clear, and he directly tore a sleeve, wrapped a few times, and wiped the traces on his face with his backhand.

"Nothing, first...... Let them rest for a while, leave a few people to guard, and bring the local Lizheng over. Murong Jin didn't care much, halfway through his words, but suddenly his chest hurt, he bit the tip of his tongue, continued to finish, and turned around and went to the tent that had been set up temporarily.

Zhou Bai immediately went to pass the order, the soldiers didn't understand the intention, these soldiers were not brought by the Marquis of Suiyuan, but the local people who joined the army, and the camp was closest to this side, and they first found the embankment, and then evacuated the people, repaired the embankment and dug the waterway, and when they heard this, they stopped doing it on the spot.

"If this levee really floods, several nearby villages will suffer!"

"Can't be withdrawn! Absolutely not! ”

"What if we evacuate the people!?"

"Can't-"

Zhou Bai looked at the passionate soldiers, took out the token with an expressionless face, and only said: "The military order is here, withdraw!" ”

A military order, along with the rain by the river, crackled and shattered in the ears, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, the military order is like a mountain, let it go, you have to retreat!

In the end, I retreated.

Just as they were scolding and retreating, and then scolding and going back to rest, Murong Jin was talking to the local community.

Li Zheng has never seen any big officials, let alone the prince and prince, not to mention Murong Jin, who came in wet, was stunned on the spot, how can there be such a big official?! Drenched like this? Also, isn't this prince too fucking good-looking?! Prettier than any Oiran he'd ever seen! Moreover, she doesn't look like a girl at all!

I couldn't speak for a long time, and then I was trembling and didn't dare to speak.

"So, there is still no farmland on this wasteland, and no one has cultivated it in the last two years, and there is a big ditch in this area that flows down the river, right?" Murong Jin's wet robe had been taken off, and he was hanging next to the fire in the tent to roast, seeing that Li Zheng was stunned several times and looked at the bull's head that he had answered after he was finished, and looked down at his dress, the rainy season is coming, and there is nothing wrong with wearing too many clothes, four or five single clothes, and taking off his outer robe.

There was a vague anxiety in his heart, and Li Zheng's naked gaze made people a little embarrassed, and Murong Jin was a little dissatisfied when he spoke again: "Zhang Lizheng, this king is talking to you, do you hear?" ”

Zhang Li is a man over half a hundred years old, one of the few farmers who is serious, and he was slapped on the shoulder by Zhou Bai before he hurriedly came back to his senses.

"Wang ...... The prince ......"

Zhou Bai repeated it with a cold face, Zhang Lizheng finally reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Return, return to the prince, that's it!" It's a barren mountain over there, no one lives, it's far away from the village, no one goes there to farm, and there are fierce beasts on the mountain over there, tigers or something, they have bitten a lot of people to death before, they died miserably, the flesh and blood are blurred, they can't see the human appearance, and the hunters usually don't dare to go! ”

"Has the beast come down the mountain?" Murong Jin remembered that there was no record on the side of the mansion.

"Nope!"

"Never?"

"It's been years since then!"

Murong Jin lowered his eyes and glanced at the topographic map in front of him, the place he said was called Da Ao, as the name suggests, there is a small mountain col, the west is a plain, the highest mountain is less than eight hundred zhang, this place is only three hundred zhang high, it stands to reason that there will be no large beasts at all, take a step back, even if there is, to the extent that there is no one in this vicinity, plus the location of this village, it is impossible for many years without a beast coming down the mountain......

Faintly felt strange, but the most important thing at the moment was not this, Murong Jin suppressed this strange thought, and said to Li Zheng: "Take him to that place, the sooner the better, go now." ”

Zhang Lizheng was confused, nodded subconsciously, and then slipped away by Zhou Bai with the back collar.

Before the two left, Yin Shen came in with the young general who took the lead in evacuating the people, and the two shook the raindrops on their bodies and came over.

"Lord Wang! What does that mean!? The previous section of the levee burst was nothing, but if this section did, several nearby villages would be flooded! The people have been evacuated, but what about the nearby farmland and houses!? The young general was dissatisfied, and when he entered the door, he said a few words, and the spit star almost flew in the face.

Yin Shen was a scholar, he didn't even pull it, and when he saw this person passing, he went straight forward, only one step away from Murong Jin.

Tilting his head, Murong Jin looked at the indignant young general, and extinguished the fire with a word-"I don't plan to ignore it, you can't stop it at all, there are at least ten days in the rainy season, and it will flood sooner or later, it's better to be blocked, this place, someone has already gone to see it, if it is feasible, after the soldiers rest, immediately go to dig the waterway again and introduce it into the downstream of the Youhe River." ”

The topographic map turned around, and the young general's face turned red, and after seeing the place clearly, he suddenly faded again, and immediately said, "No!" This place is not good! ”

Murong Jin glanced at the topographic map again, looked at the young general, and didn't know why, "Why?" ”

"There are wild beasts in this place! Also cannibalistic! It's still raining so heavily at night and at night, what if something happens to the soldiers!? ”

"If you continue to block, there will be people who may fall into the water, but if they are exhausted, they may burst the embankment, and everyone will die, there will always be accidents." Murong Jin turned the topographic map back and blocked it back, which was the reason again.

"But—"

"No, let's go and appease the soldiers, this king has other things to deal with." Murong Jin didn't raise his head, and said something to send off the guests.

Yin Shen invited people out, but no one moved for a long time, and the guards came to "invite", and the young general finally held his breath and left.

"Follow him, and send another team of men to pick up Zhou Bai."

"Send the message back and ask Mr. Guan to send someone to check these villages, especially Lizheng, the village chief, and Orion to talk, don't startle the snake." Murong Jin was a little tight, and he was about to slow down when he said a word, and at the end, he finally let out a long breath.

Yin Shen immediately went to do it.
