He Gu fixedly looked at Duan Yi, his eyes were full of complexity, but in the end he only said, "I'm going to control the water."

"You go with General Changsun first," Duan Yi said, blinking at He Gu, "Maybe you are not the only one, you will know if it is a mule or a horse out for a walk."

He Gu didn't understand why, but he didn't ask too much, "Then I'll go."

Duan Yi continued to look towards the river. With the announcement of the Changyuan Covenant, everyone in the world knew that Changlu was at peace.

The number of merchants traveling from south to north suddenly increased, and the Yangtze River became busy again, and there were many merchant ships passing by.

The ferry tea house opened by Su Yun is extremely lively, not only selling tea and snacks, but now also selling some food and wine.Due to the heavy rain, there were many more ships staying at the port than usual.

"My lord, water and fire are ruthless, and we are very anxious. Why don't we go with Old General Changsun?"

Seeing that He Gu got into the carriage and chased after Old General Changsun, Gu Yu asked curiously.

Duan Yi shook her head, "It's urgent, but it's not that urgent. The eldest grandson's family has lived in Jingzhou for generations, and they have certain rules for water control. And I'm not an all-powerful Da Luo Jinxian. If it's really going to break the embankment, it's useless if I have one more .”

"Although the world is peaceful now. But Cui Zi's battle in the north is not over yet. It will take some time for Cheng Qiong to safely return to Xiangyang from under the Tubo king's city. General Changsun took away the Jingzhou army. Emptiness has to be defended."

"Besides, we are not the only ones in Jingzhou. With such heavy rain and hot weather, if the grain gets wet and damp, it is easy to get moldy! The harvest is gone, and after the flood, there will be famine."

"Not only that, but when it rains and floods, the hydrolysis of the lake well will be very turbid, making it difficult to drink. It is necessary to ask the praying doctor to prepare alum for water purification and other medicines in advance to avoid epidemics."

Seeing that Gu Yu listened seriously, Duan Yi was not stingy with talking, and said, "Besides, we can also see a Western scene by the way. One He Gu is in custody, and there will be tens of thousands of He Gu coming over soon. Going to Jingzhou to control the water at the top of your voice."

Gu Yu looked at Duan Yi with a sparkle in his eyes.

It was the first time he heard these things, although he couldn't understand them, they were very fresh.

When Duan Yi looked at him, he was looking at a person, not a murderous knife.

"That's why you told He Gu that it was a mule or a horse out for a walk!"

Duan Yi nodded, "Actually, mules and horses are easy to use, but I'm afraid it's a piece of paper, and I think I can go to heaven alone."

As Duan Yi said, she got on her horse and led Gu Yu towards the city.

This heavy rain continued for a whole day without stopping, until the evening of the next day, when it became lighter.

The number of people in the market suddenly increased, and many people took advantage of this gap to go up to the roof to repair the leaks. The people in the flooded low-lying land scooped water out with basins and buckets.

Duan Yi sent the Guan family to patrol the city with soldiers and horses, and when they encountered severe waterlogging, they marked it down in detail.

Compared with the bustling scene in the city, Ouyang Ji's mansion was full of people and noisy.

"Ouyang Jijiu, you have to judge, that He Gu is too arrogant. We are all his seniors after all, but he almost didn't point our noses and scold us!"

It was Mr. Jiang who spoke, he scolded He Gu Yitong in the teahouse yesterday, but it earned him a bit of face, he seemed to have become the leader of this group of literati.

Ouyang Ji looked about forty years old, but he looked young. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip with some displeasure.

Today is his birthday, but these people are ulterior motives.

"He Gu is just the son of my wife's distant cousin, and I don't care about him. Besides, you should have known this man's nature long ago! He is someone who is not afraid in front of the palace. Will put us mortals in their eyes."

Mr. Jiang was so angry that he had no choice but to let go.

No, who doesn't know He Gu's "great achievements" during the imperial examination?
He doesn't even respect the emperor, and they ask him to be humble, isn't he asking for trouble?
"That's all for us. Today is Jijiu's birthday, why didn't He Gu come out to celebrate his birthday?" Mr. Jiang's eyes flashed, and he started to defend Ouyang Ji.

Ouyang Ji shook his head, with a smile on his face, "Don't you know? He was sent to Jingzhou to control the water by that general."

There was an uproar in the room, Ouyang Ji picked up the teacup and blew on the floating leaves.

This sentence, like water falling into a frying pan, suddenly exploded!

"Didn't it be agreed, let's advance and retreat together, why is He Gu's knees so soft, kneeling directly towards the woman?"

"That's right! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! How can a woman be a king and a son be a minister?"

"The man surnamed Duan didn't even pay attention to Ouyang Jijiu's birthday banquet. Not only did he not come, he didn't even send any envoys. I still don't understand why she is so arrogant." Hearing everyone's chatter, Mr. Jiang stood up abruptly and talked about what he knew.

Today, the envoy's mansion and the gates of the city have posted notices.

It is said that one month later, the Enke will recruit scholars, and those who have achieved fame in the past can write a self-recommendation or find someone to recommend, record their past political achievements, and then write an excellent article on governing the country to select the best.

He looked at it in the morning, but panicked, and rushed to Ouyang's mansion immediately.

When I came here, there were already quite a few people here. It can be seen that everyone is like ants on a hot pot, anxious.

But one by one, they hesitated and refused to take the lead in piercing the window paper. Mr. Jiang said, "I'm afraid that He Gu made a bad start and lost the dignity of our literati." Nobility and integrity."

"This little lady doesn't know how to be courteous and virtuous, and she just thinks that when she is beautiful, someone will come to flatter her, so she picked up Joe. If I can't control her this time, she still doesn't know how to be a tyrant in the future." !"

Mr. Jiang spoke out the aspirations of everyone, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

"That's right! We will never try to curry favor with that little lady. At least we still have the way out of Kyoto, and we can't be humiliated! Don't tell her to underestimate us! Ouyang Jijiu, why don't you take the lead?"

Ouyang Jijiu put the teacup away and shook his head, "What I want is never to be a marquis or minister, but to be a teacher who teaches and educates people. I will not be an official. In a few days, my Changyang Academy The mountain is about to be opened, and when the time comes, I invite all the gentlemen to come and support us."

"The old man heard that General Duan is going to Jingzhou today, and when she hits a wall and suffers, she will know how powerful you are."

Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, they all responded, "Definitely!"

After everyone had left, Mrs. Ouyang came out from behind the screen, "Didn't your husband say that the academy opened the mountain silently, why did you invite them to join us?"

Ouyang Ji laughed out loud, he shook his head, "Don't worry, no one will come!"

……

Outside the gate of Xiangyang City, Duan Yi looked at the crowd of people in front of him, and blinked at the leading white-bearded old man, "You all want to follow me to Jingzhou to control the water?"

Mr. Jiang nodded, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and became embarrassed.

No, didn't you just say that you can't bow your head to a woman if you are tough?You liars!
