Jun Huailang's routine has always been accurate.
The next day, when he opened his eyes, the faint morning light outside the window just happened to pass through the bed tent and fell on his hand.
Jun Huailang felt a small hard object in his hand, he couldn't help but startled, and spread his hand to look.
He saw that in the palm of his hand was a sapphire token the size of half a palm.
Memories of last night came back in an instant.
He remembered that this jade was handed to him by Xue Yan last night.
At that time, Xue Yan said those words, which made him unable to return to his senses for a long time, and did not respond to him for a moment. Instead, Xue Yan pulled him to stand up and handed the piece of jade to him.
"After I leave, you can take this, and you can order the team of Jinyiwei who stayed," he said. "There is Duan Fourteen. I will let him protect you in the dark all the time. If you want to do anything, just call him."
Jun Huailang didn't show it on his face at that time, but his heart was already in chaos. His heart was beating suddenly, and it was like a fire, so the only thing he had left was to calm down, just enough to maintain the calm on the surface.
He complied and took the jade, as if to force himself to calm down, holding the jade tightly in his hand.
This grip, gripped all the way.
At this moment, the hard piece of jade had already dyed his body temperature, it was round and warm, and Xue Yan's name was engraved on it.
It was just two cold words, but in front of Jun Huailang, Xue Yan looked at her eyes seriously from last night.
Jun Huailang involuntarily took the jade back into his hand.
Xue Yan clearly didn't force him a word, but the impulse in his heart became more active and arrogant, and it slammed into his chest.
Like a wild horse about to break free.
At this moment, the sound of brushing clothes came from outside the tent.
"Master, are you awake?" The voice was a little anxious.
Jun Huailang sat up and hurriedly stuffed the piece of jade under the pillow.
"Just woke up." He said lightly. "What's wrong?"
Fuyi quickly opened the bed tent for him.
"Just now, the servant saw that everyone outside was in a hurry, so he took a look." He said. "I heard that the imperial envoy from Chang'an has come with an imperial decree, and both the master and the prince have gone to the palace to receive the decree."
Jun Huailang paused.
He remembered what Xue Yan told him last night.
Xue Yan said that when the imperial decree came, he would set off immediately to go to Shandong.
—
Jun Huailang washed and dressed in a hurry, and before it was bright, he went straight out of the yard.
Fuyi didn't know why he was so anxious, but he didn't dare to ask, just followed him all the way and walked quickly to the gate of the governor's mansion.
Sure enough, from a distance, Jun Huailang saw Jinyiwei riding a tall horse outside the door.
He quickened his pace, almost trotting all the way to the gate of the mansion.
Xue Yan was riding on the horse, bowing his head and saying something to Duke Yongning who was under the horse. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and saw Jun Huailang's figure.
His black hair was tied behind his head, and he wore a sky-blue straight robe. The fine silk fluttered backwards with his footsteps.
He was born cold and delicate, but there was no expression on his face at this time, and he looked like a fairy who came from the nine heavens and descended from the mortal world, untouched by the world. But Xue Yan saw with sharp eyes that Jun Huailang's footsteps were not steady, and he looked a little anxious.
As if eager to see himself.
The corners of Xue Yan's lips rose involuntarily, and the expression on his face didn't change much, but the cold facial features were immediately softened a bit.
Like a spring breeze blowing through the cold iron sword, leaving a bit of warmth on the blade.
Duke Yongning, who was talking to Xue Yan, also saw the change in his expression.
I saw that King Guangling, who was still bowing his head just now, who was talking in a low voice with a cold face, suddenly saw something, stopped halfway through his words, and only looked in that direction.
After working together for a month or so, this was the first time Duke Yongning saw Xue Yan's expression.
Gong Yongning's feelings were slow, and he only felt that Xue Yan's expression was very different from usual, but he didn't see it, that was because Xue Yan's eyes were almost overflowing with love at this time.
He turned around in surprise and saw his son came out.
"Huailang?" Duke Yongning asked in surprise. "Why did you come out?"
Jun Huailang paused and noticed that his father was also present at this time.
He just saw Jin Yiwei's men and horses, and he was a little anxious, because he was afraid that he would not catch up.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he immediately met those amber eyes, and for a while... some couldn't move their eyes away.
Looking at his father again, Jun Huailang felt a little flustered for no reason.
"Ah, I heard the imperial decree from Fuyi." He paused and lied stiffly. "My son wanted to come and see if there was anything important."
Xue Yan sat on the horse and laughed softly when he heard what he said.
This laughter made Jun Huailang's ears heat.
But Duke Yongning didn't realize it, and nodded: "There is no other major matter, the emperor sent supplies to Jiangnan. It just so happened that the prince received the imperial decree and wanted to go north to respond. Since you are here, you will be with the prince. Quit it."
Although Duke Yongning did not interfere in the affairs of the prince at all, and never interacted with the prince in the palace, Xue Yan made him involuntarily admire him.
After having been in contact with him for a few days, Duke Yongning could also see that Xue Yan was completely different from the princes in the court who had drawn fans.
Duke Yongning only regards him as an honest person, and appreciates him more. At the same time, he also hopes that his son can get in touch with him more, learn a lot, and avoid the suspicion of party disputes.
Hearing his father's words, Jun Huailang looked up at Xue Yan.
I saw him sitting on the horse, dressed in neat black clothes, looking down at himself, smiling half-heartedly.
Jun Huailang's eyes subconsciously avoided.
Duke Yongning had already finished what he wanted to say to Xue Yan, so he stepped aside and motioned for Jun Huailang to go to the ceremony.
As soon as Jun Huailang approached, he heard Xue Yan's laughing voice.
"There are no outsiders at this time, the prince does not need to be more polite, just treat me as an equal." He said.
There were two points of ridicule hidden in his tone that only Jun Huailang could hear, which made his ears warm.
… This man is getting bolder and worse now.
Jun Huailang pursed his lips, raised his eyes and glared at him where his father could not see.
Hearing Xue Yan laughed again.
Then, he lowered his head and asked Jun Huailang in a low voice: "What time is it, why did you get up so early? You have to go to the embankment for a while, how can you hold on, let Jinbao stare at you at noon and sleep for a while longer? an hour."
Jun Huailang naturally couldn't answer.
He couldn't say it, he just thought that Xue Yan was going to leave soon, and he was eager to see him again before he left.
Not really have anything to say, or have anything to do, just meet him, that's all.
Seeing that Jun Huailang didn't speak, Xue Yan didn't ask any more.
Only the smile in his eyes deepened.
"It's okay, don't worry about anything." He leaned down slightly and approached Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang just raised his head and looked at his clear eyes.
"wait me back."
Xue Yan looked at him and said.
—
Jun Huailang still went to the dam every day.
Today, apart from the lack of money and food, Jinling is still on the right track for restoration.
The disaster camp in the south of the city has almost been repaired, and Jun Huailang and Shen Zhifu are also trying their best to find some work for them, so that they can exchange money for food and medicine. As for the rest, Jinling Mansion is now only able to provide porridge in the south of the city once a day. Even if the wealthy businessmen in the city are mobilized to donate several times, it is a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing right now is the broken dam in the north of the city.
It is certainly not a matter of one or two months to repair the dam. The damaged area should be temporarily blocked first, and then the river water should be dredged out. After the cleaning is completed, the orientation is planned, and sufficient human and material resources are needed to start repairing and rebuilding.
And these were also carried out in an orderly manner under Jun Huailang's deployment. Now, as long as the materials dispatched by Chang'an are shipped back, most of the disaster in Jinling has been safely resolved.
Since the day Xue Yan left, Jinbao has been following Jun Huailang's side.
As expected of the father-in-law who is serving in the palace, no matter what trivial matters, he can do everything flawlessly, and he has a clever mouth that can speak well.
As for Jun Huailang's daily schedule, Jinbao also strictly followed Xue Yan's arrangement and executed it exactly.
When to set off for the journey, when to ask him to rest, and when to take a nap with a meal, Jinbao was arranged for Jun Huailang when Xue Yan was there. At night, regardless of whether the project was completely completed, Jinbao had to persuade Jun Huailang to go back to rest in advance, and he would finish the rest.
For a while, sometimes when he was busy, Jun Huailang even had the illusion that Xue Yan hadn't left.
until this day.
This morning, something went wrong with the drawings for repairing the dam. Since the foreman found Jun Huailang, he has devoted himself to revising the drawings.
After all, there was a difference of more than a month between the time when the dam collapsed in the past life and this life, and there were many troubles in the previous life. When the embankment was repaired, it was already autumn. There were many differences in soil conditions and water flow between then and now, so when it comes to trimming, some adjustments should be made.
This modification lasted until noon.
Jun Huailang hurriedly finished his lunch, and brought the blueprints over again. Jin Bao saw that he had no intention of resting at all, and his face wrinkled with bitterness in an instant.
Good guy, I just took a short nap with this master, but if his master finds out, how long he can keep his head depends on when the master comes back.
However, Jinbao also knew that the blueprints in Jun Huailang's hand really mattered. I heard that when the river was repaired this morning, because the soil was too soft and the supervisor was careless, there was a small accident on the dam, injuring several people.
Jin Bao did not dare to disturb him.
After weighing it again and again, Jinbao still didn't speak. He just added tea to Jun Huailang silently, and stood by the side to accompany him.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of commotion outside.
Jun Huailang raised his head, frowned and glanced out, and said to Jinbao, "Father Jinbao, please help me to go out and have a look, what's going on outside."
Jinbao hurriedly responded and was about to go out.
At this moment, a black figure like a falcon suddenly jumped in from the window.
Jin Bao was taken aback and saw that the person was Duan Shi Shi.
With no expression on his face, he stepped forward only a few steps, held the knife in front of Jun Huailang, and saluted.
The thirteen-year-old boy just reached Jun Huailang's shoulder.
"Please come with me, Prince," he said.
"What happened?" Jun Huailang asked.
He heard Duan Shishi speak without emotion: "Someone makes trouble, I'll send you away first."
