The raging fire consumed tens of thousands of bones piled up on the shore, and the more than 900 surviving civilians on board choked and cried uncontrollably. Luo Lingzhi turned his face away, his eyes were firm, "Let's go, go to Chuancheng." ”

More than a dozen boats continued south along the cleared river.

"Why is there no one at the ferry?"

Zhao Feihu emerged from the bottom of the water, looked at the empty ferry in front of him and frowned.

The subordinates who followed him to investigate the situation also touched their heads suspiciously, and guessed: "Could it be that it is still early in the sky and no one has come yet?" ”

Zhao Feihu slapped him on the head, "Stupid!" ”

"Anyway, he also came out of the navy, how can there be no one to guard the ferry of an official family like this day and night. There is not even a lazy soldier at this ferry, so it can be seen that something is definitely wrong. ”

"Shall we go over and have a look?"

The subordinates touched the head that was stunned, and they were not angry, and said: "Brother Zhao, you don't know that we are not as smart as you, don't knock me on the head again, otherwise it will not be your luck to become more and more stupid in the future, hehe, after all, you have to take care of Brother Zhao!" ”

"Don't be poor."

Zhao Feihu swam forward again, and the situation at the ferry port was basically in full view.

It is true that there is no one.

There are also no boats nearby.

In addition to being messy, the ferry doesn't look like there was any large-scale fighting.

"Go back and tell the boss that I'm afraid that all the people at this ferry have run away."

"Ran away?"

Zhao Feihu sneered, "No, otherwise there would be no one and the boat would be gone." It is estimated that it was to see the upstream flood discharge, and the rising water in Luoshui was so frightened that they all ran back to the city. ”

"I know, you go to Xu Po's place to eat something and then rest, and I'll look for you when I have something."

Luo Lingzhi was not surprised when he heard what Zhao Feihu had discovered, standing on the deck looking at the desolate Chuancheng Ferry, and his eyes fell on the embankment not far behind.

Turning back to Bai Wulan, he said, "This embankment is the first line of defense to stop Luoshui from pouring into Chuancheng, and it must be reinforced. ”

Bai Wulan nodded, "The scouts have already figured out the situation in the vicinity, less than twenty miles behind the embankment is the gate of Sichuan City, and there are many people living along the way. In addition to reinforcing the embankment, it is now necessary to go into the city to find the Sichuan City Taishou to ask for a map of the vicinity, the embankment can only solve the temporary worries, and if you want to completely solve the problem of the Luoshui flood, you must dredge the river, so that you can also use the Luoshui to irrigate the nearby land. ”

"I'll go with Gu Huaiyi about this matter."

Luo Lingzhi immediately stood up, looked at Bai Wulan and said: "No matter what, Gu Huaiyi represents the imperial court, no matter what thoughts this Sichuan City Taishou has in his heart, whether he is loyal to the imperial court or has different intentions, as long as he does not explicitly take refuge in the other two rebel forces, he must recognize this imperial court that has not collapsed for the time being, at least on the surface." After all, Huainan is only a state, and it is a vassal king, so he can't directly order what the Kawajo Taishou appointed by the imperial court personally do. ”

Bai Wulan nodded, "Then it's hard for you to go on a trip, and I'll leave it to me first." ”

The matter was urgent, Luo Lingzhi didn't delay much, and after breakfast, he and Gu Huaiyi rode to Sichuan City.

With Gu Huaiyi, a court official, it was still very convenient for Luo Lingzhi to follow him into Sichuan City, and the soldiers guarding the city only looked at Gu Huaiyi's identity token and immediately let him go, without checking Luo Lingzhi next to him.

"Master Gu, my family is really not at home. Or go back and come back another day. ”

After Luo Lingzhi and Gu Huaiyi entered the city, they went directly to Taishou's Mansion, but the porter didn't let them in, only saying that Chuancheng Taishou was not at home.

Gu Huaiyi's face sank directly, and he said coldly: "Gu Mou is looking for your family to be in a hurry, and there is no delay." Where have you gone? If it's not convenient to rush back, we'll go see him. ”

"It's really inconvenient."

The porter insisted, but he did not let go of telling his adult whereabouts.

Luo Lingzhi squinted his eyes, and subconsciously looked at the wall of the Taishou Mansion in Chuancheng, which was not as high as the wall of Prime Minister Luo's Mansion, and it was easy to turn into it. There must be something wrong with this concierge not letting them in, otherwise how could he be a gatekeeper to stop Gu Huaiyi, who is a six-grade official of the imperial court.

Although the sixth-grade official is not a big official, and he is not as good as the fourth-grade Taishou, he is not something that can be despised at will.

What's more, Gu Huaiyi also has a veritable court member Dali Siqing on his head.

Gu Huaiyi's face was completely cold, ready to break through.

Luo Lingzhi tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive yet, and wrote behind him in the palm of his hand.

Gu Huaiyi suddenly understood and nodded.

"Luoshui is rising, this Sichuan City Taishou has either fled, or has other plans. I think this person should still be in the house, but I don't know why he didn't see him, anyway, whether the person is there or not, let's go in and take a look. ”

Luo Lingzhi jumped and flew directly onto the wall, seeing that no one around hurriedly beckoned to Gu Huaiyi, "Hurry up, what are you doing there?" ”

For the first time in his life, he did this kind of thing to climb the wall of other people's houses, Gu Huaiyi pursed his lips, looked at Luo Lingzhi, who had already gone down the back wall, and suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and followed.

I saw that Luo Lingzhi had already knocked out the patrolling guards very skillfully.

"Quickly put it on."

Luo Lingzhi didn't notice Gu Huaiyi's awkwardness, and directly pulled his coat to Gu Huaiyi, and he had already put on his clothes in three or two clicks.

After catching a small servant and asking for the location of the main courtyard, Luo Lingzhi directly knocked the person unconscious, found a hidden place to put it away, and then walked directly to the front with Gu Huaiyi avoiding the crowd.

This series of skillful operations made Gu Huaiyi a little stunned.

I was very surprised to look at the guards in front of me who had been stunned by the medicine, and swaggered towards Luo Lingzhi, Miss Mo Feiluo often ran to other people's houses like this before, although she was still curious about Luo Lingzhi's previous experience, but the gentleman didn't ask about people's privacy, and Gu Huaiyi, who adhered to etiquette, couldn't speak. I had to suppress the curiosity in my heart and step into the main courtyard.

"Who? This is the main courtyard, and the guards are not allowed to approach at will, so there are no rules at all. ”

The maids who came out of the house with the remnants of the cup saw Luo Lingzhi and the others coming towards them, and the big maids led by them immediately raised their eyebrows and scolded, looking at Luo Lingzhi and Gu Huaiyi vigilantly.

These two people looked at each other, not like the guards in the house.

So he immediately said, "Come on, catch them." ”

"There's someone in the house."

Luo Lingzhi easily avoided the maids who came to arrest them, turned around and glanced at Gu Huaiyi, and directly slammed the door into the house, without waiting for the people inside to react, Gu Huaiyi immediately shouted loudly: "I have an urgent matter with the Taishou of Chuancheng, and the matter has been delayed, I am afraid that all the hundreds of thousands of people in Chuancheng will die." ”

"I'm the Taishou of Chuancheng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the two of you to break into Cui's house like this, right?"

The middle-aged scribe sitting on a sandalwood chair looked sharply at the two uninvited people.
