Yan San came out from the forest, picked up Ling Qingyu and sent her into the car, and He Ying Shisan also loaded the prepared meals into the car.
Ling Qingyu's carriage has undergone special treatment, it is spacious, and it is well protected against rain. Even in this rainy weather, if you drill into the carriage, it is equivalent to a closed small room.
So she was not in a hurry, she put the small table and the dishes away, and was about to eat with the bowl, when the car door opened, Cheng Jia got in.
"Why are you here?" Ling Qingyu was surprised, you have your own carriage to drive!
"My car leaks a little, so it's better to stay here." Sitting on the soft couch, Cheng Jia also praised: "As expected, it's good to have money."
"Han Bian's carriage is not missing, you go to his." Ling Qingyu pointed to the other one and said.
"The carriage is full of your luggage. Besides, you can't be so cruel. Your two little guards won't give them a place?" Cheng Jia looked at her very sadly and said.
Ling Qingyu choked on his mouthful of rice, and Yan San hurriedly patted her on the back before swallowing.
After a while, the rain started to get heavy, and it was hard to drive him away, so Ling Qingyu had no choice but to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him, and then shouted to the outside: "Thirteen, come and eat first."
"No, I'll take a look outside." Ying Shisanyi was already drenched, standing outside the car door and said.
"Stop rambling, it's raining so much outside, you'll get sick if you get wet, come in and change." Ling Qingyu opened the car door and gave him a hand.
Ying Shisan responded and got into the carriage. Yan San had already handed him the clean clothes, so Ying Shisan took off the wet clothes in the corner of the carriage and changed.
Although there are four people squeezed, the compartment is still very spacious, but when Ying Shisan took off his clothes, his muscular upper body was naked. Cheng Jia looked at Ling Qingyu who was eating without paying attention, and his eyes deepened. .
Although it was in the wild and the time was not long, the meals prepared by Ying Shisan and Sum were still very rich, with two meats, one wild vegetable, and a pheasant soup.
"Boss Ling, you really enjoy it." Cheng Jia sighed while eating the dish.
"Ah?" Ling Qingyu stared at him, why are you so nervous
"If Jia is alone outside, even if there are so many servants outside, Jia will not be able to eat this kind of hot food." Cheng Jia said with emotion.
"Have you ever slept in the wild before?" Ling Qingyu glanced at him contemptuously. The son of the aristocratic family had a lot of servants when he went out. He had to live in a high-end house and eat fine food. I'm afraid he had never done this kind of camping in the wild.
"That's right." Cheng Jia smiled. Did he ever think that he would actually sleep outside? Since this kind of thing has never happened before, I don't want to have someone with this specialty around me. But looking at the four people around Ling Qingyu, it seems that they are not just guards, they are proficient in doing this kind of thing, and even in the inn, as long as there is a small kitchen, they all cook by themselves. The guards, maids, mothers, cooks, and handymen are all the same. Where did you find it? Such a well-rounded guy? This is so cheap!
Seeing Ying Shisan sitting next to him, Ling Qingyu poked his head habitually, Ying Shisan smiled and said: "It's only a little rain, it will be fine."
"It's raining really hard." Ling Qingyu glanced out of the window and said, "It seems to be reaching the amount of rainstorm water."
"I'm afraid it will stop for a while." Yan San glanced at it and said.
"The night is long, why don't we wait and play cards." Cheng Jia said with a smile. This was only discovered by Ling Qingyu and the others. Ling Qingyu said that it was poker, and there was a way to gamble, but her card skills were so poor that it was very easy for him who had just learned to beat her.
Ling Qingyu covered her purse, and said bitterly: "Master Cheng, you have already taken away 13,278 taels of silver from me by various means, do you think I will let you succeed?"
"It's true that you are in charge. What kind of friendship do we have? Talking about money is too vulgar." Cheng Jia said with crooked eyes and an upturned mouth.
"No, I have no friendship with you!" Ling Qingyu immediately replied.
"Come, come, let's eat quickly, it's a good start after eating." Cheng Jia had already said to Yan San and Ying Shisan on his own.
The rascal!
Angry, Ling Qingyu ate an extra bowl of rice to support himself, so he had to call Han Bian over, and she watched the four of them start.
There are night pearls (dug out from the treasure of King Wuyue) on the four corners of the carriage. Although there are no candles, the light is still very good.
Cheng Jia no longer has any curiosity about the strange things she has here, and she puts all her heart and soul into the cards in her hand. Without Ling Qingyu's stinky feet, the other three on the table are all masters, so they can only be more vigilant.
Ling Qingyu leaned against Yan San, looked at his cards, Yan San held the cards in one hand, wrapped her arms around her waist with the other, rubbed her belly lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still holding on?"
The corner of Cheng Jia's eyes twitched, he played a card, and said, "Would you like to kiss each other?"
"My husband, do you have a problem?" Ling Qingyu glared at him, and pressed closer to Yan San, you can't see it, hurry up and go away!
"How many husbands do you have?" Cheng Jia asked while playing cards.
"This is my personal privacy, I don't want to tell you! Show me this one, this one." Ling Qingyu replied to him, and then said to Yan San.
Cheng Jia smiled, stopped asking, and concentrated on playing cards.
The rain fell for most of the night, and it stopped in the middle of the night, and the game of cards ended at that time. Ling Qingyu was tired and fell asleep behind Yan San.
After getting off the carriage, Cheng Jia pulled Han Bian, and the two walked aside, Cheng Jia asked, "Will she marry Yang Zhao?"
"What you actually want to ask is whether the guard is really her husband, right?" Han Bian smiled and said, "It's her husband. Actually, you know it too, don't you?"
"If she wants to marry Yang Zhao, what will this husband do?" Cheng Jia asked in a low voice.
"Brother Cheng, this is not your business. First, she is not married to Yang Zhao. Second, even if she wants to marry, it is the three of them's business and has nothing to do with you." Han Bian said with a straight face.
"Yang Zhao is stationed at Heishuiguan, and now I am the Great General of the Zhou Dynasty. If his wife has a bad moral character, she will be the target of attack. What's more, the emperor can directly order his wife to commit suicide." Cheng Jia's face turned pale. Gloomy, said.
Han Bian gasped and said, "Why is it so serious?"
"Master Ling said in front of the emperor that her bodyguard is her husband. If she marries Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao will definitely ask her to seal her. Do you think the emperor will remember this?" Cheng Jia looked at it coldly. Han Bian glanced at him and said, "That's what I said, so you can do it yourself."
Cheng Jia walked to his carriage, leaving Han Bian alone and whispered, "Do you think those three people will be afraid?"
Shaking his head, Han Bian thought to himself, what do you know, the head of our family has never regarded the emperor as a green onion, just wait and see, there will be no ships coming back in three months, let's see what you use to burn incense and play the piano.
After stopping dawdling, the speed became much faster, and in late May, he finally entered the border of Jiangling.
The fiefdom of the king of Chu is in Jiangling, which is located in the center of the Jianghan Plain and is the most prosperous place.
The paddy fields growing in stretches are gratifying, and it seems that this year is a bumper harvest year.
Cheng Jia unconsciously had a smile on his face. The situation in Dazhou is not good now, the finances are already tight, and so much compensation has to be paid to the Liao Kingdom. It's not beneficial to the country, but after the emperor nodded, Qingliu also lost his voice. If there is a bumper harvest this year, it can be somewhat relieved.
Cheng Jia was in a good mood, but when she turned around, she saw Ling Qingyu frowning tightly, and said unconsciously, "Don't feel bad, didn't Tian get it back?"
"Han Bian, write letters to the farms in Wuhu and Huai'an, try to harvest this year's rice as early as possible." Ling Qingyu ignored him and said to Han Bian.
"Why?" Han Bian asked in surprise. Farms in the south are now planting two seasons of rice, but the first season of rice will not be fully ripe until late June, and it is only a little over May now. If the rice is harvested now, the grains must not be full.
"After we entered Jinghu Road, how many times has it rained? And you heard from the guest next to you just now that it was also raining on Jinghu South Road. If this continues, there will be floods in the Yangtze River Basin."
Han Bian immediately got up and went outside the restaurant to find a place to write a letter.
"You really mean Master Ling's words?" Seeing Han Bian's reaction, Cheng Jia clenched his fists and asked.
"I'm just acting according to my own judgment. If I make a mistake in my judgment, it's my own fault, but I can't stand Master Cheng's words." Ling Qingyu said flatly.
Cheng Jia took a deep breath and said, "Don't be angry with Jia, the head of the family. If it is true what the head of the family said, it is the people who suffer, not Cheng Jia."
After hesitating for a while, Ling Qingyu still said: "You'd better find a source to find out the rainfall and the height of the river in these places." He drew a map of the Yangtze River Basin on the table casually, pointing out the Jialing River, the Han River, the Zi River, the Yuan Water several places.
After bowing to Ling Qingyu, Cheng Jia also went downstairs quickly.
"Will something happen?" Yan San asked.
"I don't know, I hope it's my illusion. I remember reading the research book of the Three Gorges Project, which mentioned the flooding of the Yangtze River. I think the rain these days is a bit similar." Ling Qingyu said in a low voice.
"Then let's leave here first." Yan San sat beside her and said.
"It's okay, look again, maybe I remember wrong." Ling Qingyu smiled at him.
At night, Cheng Jia hurried back to the inn and dug Ling Qingyu out of bed.
Ling Qingyu walked into the yard with sleepy eyes and said, "Master Cheng, if you don't bother me once, I will die!"
"Cough cough cough!" Cheng Jia coughed anxiously.
Ling Qingyu opened his eyes, only to realize that Cheng Jia was not alone in the courtyard, but several officers and soldiers with knives were standing there, and a man in a scarlet official uniform. Eh, why does that man look so familiar
"Wang Xuanzhi!" Ling Qingyu pointed at him and shouted, then turned around and said to Cheng Jia: "Master Cheng, men and women can't kiss each other, this place is for little girls, have you gone to the wrong door?"
"Master, I don't have time to make fun of you now. Come and see." Cheng Jia dragged her to the edge of the stone table, spread out a map, and said, "Look, these days, Zijiang Yuanshui Panyang Lake Dongting Lake It has already rained heavily, and the rivers and lakes are full of water."
"Ah," Ling Qingyu looked up at him, and said, "What does this have to do with you harassing me to sleep in the middle of the night?"
"What will happen next?" Wang Xuanzhi approached her and asked.
"I'm not a god? How do I know what will happen?" Ling Qingyu said angrily.
"Master, this is the lives of millions of people!" Cheng Jia said unconsciously.
"Now the water in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is full. If it rains again in the upper reaches, if there is heavy rain, and it also rains in this area, then the water in the Yangtze River will overflow the dam. It depends on whether the dam can hold it. If I can't bear the broken dike..." Ling Qingyu fell silent.
The faces of Wang Xuanzhi and Cheng Jia also changed, and the courtyard was silent for a while.
"Is there any way?" Wang Xuanzhi asked in a low voice.
"Do you really think I'm a fairy? What can I do? You should first ask if it will rain again, and second, find someone to protect the embankment, and then make preparations for rescue and transfer of personnel." Ling Qingyu cried unconsciously , this is a matter for your imperial government, okay! Do you want me, a little girl, to stop the flood
"Master Ling, please stay here until this matter is over." After Wang Xuanzhi finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard, while the soldiers with swords stood at the entrance of the courtyard.
"What does he mean?" Ling Qingyu turned his head and asked Cheng Jia stiffly with his mouth open: "I am under house arrest? What the hell did I break?" The Wang family has nothing good!
Yan San drew his long sword out of its sheath, pulled Ling Qingyu behind him, and said coldly: "Master Cheng, it's best to make it clear. You know that just a few people can't stop us."
"Boss Ling, you are more familiar with these water affairs than us, Xuanzhi just wants you to help us." Cheng Jia said with a wry smile. Wang Xuanzhi, Wang Xuanzhi, aren't you doing harm
"Of course these few soldiers can't stop you, but Brother Han has been invited to the county government as a guest. The head of Ling's family had better think clearly." Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Xuanzhi said coldly.
"I fucking ancestor!" Ling Qingyu scolded while jumping.
Both Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi's faces darkened.
"Master, I'll scold you next time." Yan San whispered in her ear.
"I've seen despicable ones, but I've never seen such shameless ones! It's a shame that Han Bian still considers you guys as friends! You're so fucking human, you've read all the books in ****." Ling Qingyu said angrily.
Yan San straightened his back, and coldly stared back at those soldiers, hey, he really can't let his own women mix with those rough men who are soldiers.
Cheng Jia's face darkened at first, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, saying: "Why don't you go to bed first, don't worry, we will guarantee Han Bian's safety."
No matter how angry he was, Han Bian could do nothing in his hands, so Ling Qingyu could only turn around and go back to the room.
