I promise

Chapter 743 Going Back

Chang Qianfo remembered the day he set off, Mu Dianke chased him out of the city in the rain, her moist eyes were full of eagerness and hesitation, she said: "No one is more important than you...you...do your best."

Did she expect this day?
But he couldn't let go.

That is a human life, and it is also an important and difficult person in Mu Dianke's life.

Chang Qianfo tightened his grip on Qu Yu'er, exhausted all his strength, and desperately swam up the water.There are also whirlpools and undercurrents in the green water lake outside Changjiabao, and he has encountered them more than once, so it is not impossible to give it a try.

A strong force pulled Qu Yu'er out of his arms.

In the dense and surging vortex, Chang Qianfo couldn't see the man's face clearly, he could only see a vague outline: broad shoulders and long neck, extremely tall stature, no doubt it was Jin Yanchen.

Afterwards, a very powerful hand like iron pincers tightened his ankle, dragging him to sink to the bottom of the river together.

Inexplicable trust.

Later, recalling the situation at that time, Chang Qianfo still found it inconceivable why he would choose to trust Jin Yanchen and completely surrender his life at that moment of life and death.

Maybe it's because he felt that Jin Yanchen's painstaking efforts to create the opportunity to fall into the water was definitely not to take Qu Yu'er and drag him to the bottom of the river with his corpse.

Maybe deep in his heart he always believed that no matter how many things Jin Yanchen did to hurt Mu Dianke, he never really thought of making her feel bad.

He has always been willing to save people with kindness.

It was this kind of trust full of goodwill that saved his life.

Chang Qianfo didn't know that for three full quarters after he, Jin Yanchen, and Qu Yu'er fell into the river, there were kites disguised as giant birds wandering along the river in groups under the Yanyun Rock.

In the belly of each zither there is a box that is as long as one person, and lying there is a killer with excellent eyesight, holding a crossbow and a quiver, ready to shoot at the head floating in the river at any time.

Among Mu Cangping's subordinates, there has never been a person who wanted to kill but couldn't.

Jin Yanchen was an exception.

11 years ago, Jin Lianyin made a big lie, which made Mu Cangping believe that Jin Yanchen was dead, so he gave up hunting, and let this fish that slipped through the net gradually become popular in Mobei thousands of miles away.

Eleven years later, Tan Zhou spent all his wealth and even used the lives of dozens of members of the Mu family as bait to carefully set up a big picture to lure Jin Yanchen to the winery full of explosives. Being vigilant, once again let Jin Yanchen escape smoothly.

A person who is always succeeding is less able to accept failure.

So this time, Mu Cangping still wants to let Jin Yanchen die in the water, and he wants to make Tan Zhou's failed method succeed in his hands—exploding the mountain with gunpowder.

Perseverance to this extent is no longer just a matter of killing Jin Yanchen, but also for the sake of clearing up previous shame—at least Mu Cangping thinks it is a shame.

Therefore, he would never miss any link, leaving even a chance for Jin Yanchen to escape.

Once you are sucked into the vortex, you can't control where you are going.

Chang Qianfo was swept by the strong eddy current, pulled, turned ups and downs, and needed to squeeze every inch of consciousness in his brain hard to keep himself awake.

Waking up is bound to be accompanied by great pain.

His whole body ached like being torn apart. It was unknown whether the water was too cold or the flow was too fast. The water flowing around his body was like steel needles piercing into the flesh and blood.

His whole body was almost numb with pain, the only thing that could be confirmed was that the hand on the ankle never let go.

Just like that, he didn't know how long he could endure the violent shaking like being tortured, and the moment before he was about to lose consciousness, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if stepping into the warm spring from the windy winter day. .

Jiang Shui became gentle, holding his body up and shaking it gently.

Chang Qianfo felt that something had poked his chest, stretched out his hand that still had a little consciousness, and grasped the thing, only to realize after a while, it turned out to be an iron mask with airbags on it.

The air bag was made of unknown material, it was filled hard and bulging, yet it did not explode, nor was it crushed and deformed in the deep water.

Chang Qianfo put the mask on his face and locked the iron band on the back of his head to ensure that the mask would not fall off when swimming.

After drifting for a while, he no longer felt any living beings around him—he must have wandered away from Jin Yanchen.

In the chaotic darkness, Chang Qianfo didn't know how long he had been drifting, nor how deep the water was, but he desperately squeezed strength from his body that was about to lose consciousness, from every crack in his bones, to support himself and waved his hands, go upstream.

Swim non-stop.

Above the head, there is a beautiful face, like a strong light, illuminating the endless darkness.

He had promised that person that he would return safely.

***
That night, Liu Zhuan received an urgent report from Zhongshu in his bedroom.

Continuous torrential rains caused the water level of the Yangtze River to rise, and the flood burst its embankment, flooding four counties.Overnight, hundreds of miles of barren hills and fertile fields were reduced to vast oceans, causing countless casualties.

All Beijing officials above rank five were summoned into the palace by Ye knocking on the door.

The emperor's diligent thought is commendable, but the result is not satisfactory.

After Emperor Wu seized power, he killed many outspoken celebrities. In order to calm down the public and win the hearts of the people, he once banned officials arbitrarily after the establishment of the dynasty.Emperor Wen was benevolent and weak, and several attempts to promote the reform of the administration of officials came to nothing.The ethos of superfluous people, laziness and indolence in government is inherited from the previous dynasty and flourished in the present.

Now the Lord is suspicious, stubborn and self-determined, and the rewards and punishments are vague.In order to cater to the emperor and protect themselves, the courtiers formed a set of ways of doing things.

Namely: do more, do less.

For example, things that are easy to see credit and not easy to make mistakes, such as welcoming missions, accepting surrenders, marrying, hosting banquets, and supervising palaces, are all rushing to do.

As for leading the army, reforming political affairs, and building dikes and defenses, which are related to the foundation of the country, if you are not careful, you may be demoted or even lose your head. Even if you pretend to be sick, you have to shirk it.

The two things at the moment are one for emergency rescue and the other for disaster relief.

The former is a thankless job, and there is no lucrative job. Naturally, no one is willing to go. Fortunately, the general Fang Xian is a fool, so he took the upper body by himself, and led the troops to set off that night.

This is easy to solve, but the difficult thing is to relieve the disaster and comfort the people.

Fools also know that this is a big piece of fat. Who knows how much of the vain relief money will go to the victims and how much will go into the pockets of officials.

What's more, whether you do it with your heart or not, you can't go wrong.

If it is done well, it is due to the effective coordination of disaster relief officials; if it is not done well, it is because the disaster is serious, and the people who do it have hard work and no credit.

It has both benefits and the hearts of the people, so naturally everyone is fighting for it.

The forces of all parties showed their magical powers and tried their best to push their own people up.It was noisy all night, and on the second day, there was no decent disaster relief plan.

Liu Zhuan was so angry that he dropped two of the best ice-cracked porcelain cups.

At this time, he missed the days when Rong Yi was in power.
