The candle flame swayed lightly in the wind, and Cui Taishou only felt that his heart was also cold, but there was absolutely no reason to regret what he said, so he had to admit it. Who made the man in front of him know himself too well!

"Cui Taishou, please forgive me for disturbing me late at night."

Gu Huaiyi also didn't have a good rest for several days, plus his skin was too fair, and the bruises under his eyelids were very obvious, and he knew at a glance that he hadn't slept well for several days.

Cui Taishou looked at Gu Huaiyi, who suddenly broke in, and was also speechless, and said angrily: "Since you know that it is inconvenient in the middle of the night, why don't you come here during the day without knowing it?" ”

"Isn't Lord Cui still resting?"

Gu Huaiyi followed Luo Lingzhi's face as before, and the matter was indeed urgent, so he walked directly into the study and said, "Luoshui has spread a foot high, and we must start dredging the river." Is the manpower mobilized by Cui Taishou ready for this? ”

"So fast!"

Cui Taishou listened to him say the right thing, and he didn't dare to be negligent, nodded and said: "There are 5,000 guards in Chuancheng, I have already used the rights of Taishou and the garrison to say, except for the 1,000 people left behind, everyone else went to dredge the river, and also recruited 40,000 people in the city, and they are registering, and you can take them outside the city after the record is completed." ”

"It's sooner rather than later, and as soon as possible."

Gu Huaiyi plans to wait here, and bring someone over directly after registering tomorrow.

Xun Chang looked at him every time he mentioned the matter of food, his eyes narrowed slightly, since the previous Luo lady said that she was responsible for the food, as long as they paid the silver, there was a way to transport the grain, but before seeing the grain, how could he not be sure, so he had to ask.

"Luo Niangzi's food has been delivered?"

Just when Gu Huaiyi was about to go to the guest room arranged by Cui Taishou to rest a little and wait for tomorrow dawn to take someone away, Chief Xun suddenly spoke.

Cui Taishou also immediately nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, has the food arrived?" ”

Gu Huaiyi only knew that there was plenty of food in the past few days, but so far there was indeed no new grain ship, and he was a little worried in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face, "Miss Luo has already said that she will solve the food matter, in this case, Master Cui only needs to do other things." ”

"Doesn't that mean the food hasn't arrived yet?"

Cui Taishou suddenly couldn't sit still, "No, I have to go outside the city with you tomorrow to ask Luo Niangzi when the food will arrive, otherwise my heart will not be stable at all, let alone sleep." ”

Chief Xun was about to send 40,000 people and 4,000 garrisons with him, so he also stood up, "If your lord is ready to go over, the affairs in this city must be arranged first, and according to the current market price, 20,000 stone grain needs 400,000 lines of silver, and we have to prepare the silver first." In addition, how to calculate the salary has to be discussed with Luo Niangzi. ”

"How much?"

Cui Taishou's eyes widened, "I can't buy 20,000 stone of grain with all my silver?" ”

"The price of grain in the peaceful and prosperous era is naturally not high, but in the past three or four years, there have been continuous natural and man-made disasters, and it may not be possible to buy grain when it has increased to a hundredfold. Chief Xun knew that at such a juncture, not to mention that 400,000 pieces of silver could solve the grain matter, even if he wanted all the government treasury silver, it was not impossible to talk about it.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Taishou, who had not slept all night, walked directly out of the city with more than 40,000 people with black circles under his eyes.

Although the gate of Sichuan City is less than twenty miles away from the embankment, there are many mountains along the way, and Cui Taishou has to ride a horse for the sake of speed, bumping and bumping to the embankment that he may not see once in a few years.

It's not that Cui Taishou is negligent in his duties, but in his inherent experience, the embankment outside the city is just a decoration, after all, he never thought that Luoshui would be poured into Sichuan City before.

Coax coax -

"That's where we're stationed right ahead."

Gu Huaiyi rode on a horse, raised his hand and pointed to the tent set up not far away and said to Cui Taishou.

Cui Taishou rode down the slope, and he didn't need to get close to see the churning Luoshui, the water was mighty and there was no end in sight, he had seen here three years ago that there would be sporadic outcrops in the middle of the water, but now he looked at a vast lake, violently slapping the embankment.

Cui Taishou clenched the reins, a little incredulous, "This is Luoshui?" ”

It was completely different from the gentle and docile appearance of the microwave in his memory.

Chief Xun had come to see it in person when he heard that Luoshui was engulfing the ferry before, but he was also shocked by the speed of Luoshui's rise, his eyes looked at the surging Luoshui, and he took a breath, "Luoshui is so vast that I am afraid that it has never been seen in a hundred years." ”

"More than a hundred years, since Taizu established the Dongfeng Kingdom for more than 300 years, Luoshui has never had a flood, this time Luoshui suddenly rose to the surprise of everyone, if not controlled in time than more than ten years ago the Huaijiang River suddenly burst into floods worse."

Bai Wulan accompanied Luo Lingzhi to greet him, and when he heard Chief Xun sigh, he answered directly, which was bound to let everyone know that Sichuan City was already in danger.

"Cui Taishou, Chief Xun."

Luo Lingzhi said hello, and his eyes fell on the tens of thousands of people behind.

Chief Xun handed all the rosters to Luo Lingzhi, his eyes fell on Bai Wulan, and his intuition told him that this person was not simple, and he should not only be the housekeeper of this Luo Niangzi.

"In Xia Xunmao, I don't know who is under the footing?"

Luo Lingzhi thought that he also needed a reason to take out 20,000 stone of grain, so he didn't wait for Bai Wulan to speak, and replied directly: "This is Bai Wulan, a person from Huainan. The food needed this time was successfully delivered thanks to him. ”

The people of the Huai'an Palace.

Chief Xun had long heard that there was a person named Bai Wulan on the side of the prince of Huainan, and he had heard of it for a long time and never thought that he would meet here, and the usual smile appeared on his face, and he saluted Bai Wulan, "I have long heard of the reputation under my feet, and I am really lucky to see it today." With the help of this time, I want to come to Sichuan City to escape the catastrophe. ”

"I'm just a handyman, and I have to work hard to make specific arrangements."

Bai Wulan didn't take credit, this matter was originally organized by Luo Niangzi to relieve everyone's disaster, and the food was also provided by Luo Niangzi, this matter has to be made clear. As for Luo Lingzhi taking out 20,000 stone of grain in his name reasonably, of course he won't break it, this is all his own family, and if you go around in a circle, it's not wrong to say that it's Huainan.

Chief Xun immediately looked at Luo Lingzhi with a calm face, and his heart even increased Luo Lingzhi's status among this group of people, so that Bai Wulan of Huainan Mansion could take it so seriously, this Luo Niangzi was even more difficult than he imagined.

"Luo Niangzi."

Chief Xun saluted Luo Lingzhi solemnly with a very eye-catching look.

Luo Lingzhi nodded, "Chief Xun is polite, this time Cui Taishou and you sent people over." You have also seen the situation in Luoshui, the matter of dredging the river is imminent, and we can deliver the food tonight, I don't know how your silver is prepared? ”

There are still more than a dozen big boats of the bandit in her space, and at night she can put them on the Luo water while people are not paying attention, and let Ling Qing lead the big boat to make a slight change, and then take out the food in the space, so as to pretend to be the food transported from Huainan. The lights are blind, and these people can't see clearly, as long as they finally see that there is a ship carrying the grain. After the grain is put down, the boat will be driven away immediately, and then retracted into the space, and there is no fault with the storage.
