Nine-thousand-year-old palm flower is not easy to mess with

Chapter 246
Chu Lian, who hadn't shown up for many days, hurried back after hearing the news.

Seeing Yao Suyu's slightly thin body, Chu Lian's eyes flashed with distress, "You look thinner."

Yao Suyu raised his head and bumped into Chu Lian's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "You too."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Chu Lian became thinner and darker, the tiredness between his brows was clearly visible, Yao Suyu frowned slightly, "Did you come here on horseback?"

Although she followed Chu Lian, Chu Lian didn't stay in place, but ran around, rarely stopping.

He learned that Yao Suyu was called a goddess by the people, fearing that someone would take advantage of him, so he rushed back.

The moment he saw Yao Suyu, the exhaustion all over his body seemed to dissipate all of a sudden, and somewhere in his heart was satisfied, "En."

"Are you busy recently?" Yao Suyu poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

Seeing this, Chu Lian picked it up and drank it in one gulp, "Although the people are no longer hungry, most of the houses in their homes have been washed away by the water, and there is water everywhere, making it difficult to build."

He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and was exhausted already.

Due to geological and climatic reasons, rainy days prevail in the south of the Yangtze River. The soil is wet and the rain washes away, causing the banks of the river to burst and the water to flow down, submerging most of the land.

Chu Lian was worried because of this.

Yao Suyu watched him hesitate to speak, Chu Lian didn't raise his head and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

"Actually, I have an idea. Are you willing to listen to it?" Actually, Yao Suyu's understanding of this aspect is thanks to her habit of reading miscellaneous books.

Before wearing it on the original owner, she read a lot of books.

Hearing this, Chu Lian also became interested. Yao Suyu is eccentric and has many ideas, especially as these days prove that she is not a coward.

"I am willing. Of course I am willing to listen to what you say." Chu Lian's tone was never serious.

Listening to his ambiguous words, Yao Suyu's cheeks felt a little hot, "There are two reasons for the embankment to burst. One is that the river embankment cannot withstand the increase of rain, and the other is that there are too many silt and sundries at the bottom of the river, which makes the water level rise and flood the river." overflow. Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a problem with the embankment itself.”

With Yue Zongsheng's profligate behavior, I am afraid that all his money will be spent on squandering. As for the river embankment, one can imagine.

The quality is not good enough, so it's useless.

Hearing this, Chu Lian couldn't help but look at her more.

Yao Suyu really hit the point. He had thought about these issues before.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was about to try, a doting smile hung on the corner of Chu Lian's mouth, "It's true. I wonder if Madam has a way to deal with it?"

Yao Suyu ignored his address and suggested: "The main thing is dredging, and the second is containment. This is the first. Regularly have people clean up the silt at the bottom of the river. This is the second."

She couldn't explain many details clearly, but Yao Suyu believed that as long as she spoke out, Chu Lian would follow suit.

Because, he is really worried about those suffering people.

"Madam is really smart!" Chu Lian understood everything, and looked at Yao Suyu with admiration.

He was a little impatient.

Yao Suyu saw him leave immediately, grabbed his sleeve, and said softly: "It's rare to come back, so why not have a good night's rest. If you are exhausted, no one will do those things for you."

Except for the people brought by Chu Lian, there is not a single useful official in Jiangnan.

He recorded all those people and prepared to settle accounts after the fall.

Chu Lian lowered his eyes, saw the worry in her eyes clearly, frowned, and responded, "Okay."

Chu Lian often kept a straight face, exuding an aura that strangers should not enter, but now with a smile on his face, like a hundred flowers blooming, Yao Suyu saw the gods for a moment.

It wasn't until Chu Lian's cough awakened that Yao Suyu turned and left with a blushing face.

After a night of rest, Chu Lian really recovered his energy and headed to the front line decisively.

Yao Suyu couldn't go forward, so he could only arrange everything in the rear, so as not to miss Chu Lian's important affairs.

After being instructed by Yao Suyu, Chu Lian began to dig ditches, repair the embankment, and clean up the silt. As a result, the water level dropped after treatment.

For a while, Chu Lian's reputation was once again known by the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone was grateful, and some even wanted to erect a statue for him.

Chu Lian decisively refused.

The common people's favorability towards Chu Lian has risen to an unprecedented height, even overshadowing Yue Zongsheng who is far away in the capital.

Wei Gaojin's spies sent the news back to the capital. Naturally, Wei Gaojin would not let go of the opportunity to trample on Chu Lian, and entered the palace overnight.

"Your Majesty, Chu Lian is only an eunuch, so he is not worthy of such praise. What's more, the Emperor sent him to control the water, and it is your insight. The people should thank you, and you should also thank the Emperor.

Not only did Chu Lian not stop the people from speaking, he even let them go, obviously not paying attention to you, the emperor. "

The emperor was furious and sent someone to assassinate the male lead. Concubine De passed the news to the male lead. The male lead returned to Beijing but was assassinated all the time, preventing the male lead from returning to Beijing.

Yue Zongsheng was furious. From ancient times to the present, floods are the most difficult to deal with. He thought of taking this opportunity to argue with Chu Lian, but he never thought that Chu Lian would actually win a good reputation.

What made him even more angry was that Chu Lian was only a eunuch, yet he dared to climb on top of him. Yue Zongsheng felt the anger in his heart go straight to his mind, and his eyes were red.

"Wei Gaojin, don't blame me for not giving you a chance this time.

I want Chu Lian to die without a place to bury him! "

A gleam of joy flashed across Wei Gaojin's face, and he immediately knelt down, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, if it is not useful for the emperor to see Chu Lian, Chu Lian would have died countless times.

The two people in the hall were plotting how to make Chu Lian disappear, and they didn't notice the corner of the skirt passing by outside the hall at all.

Concubine De hurried back to her bedroom, her confidant saw her expression was different, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"Quickly, tell the governor quickly. The emperor and Wei Gaojin are going to do something to him. Tell him to be careful." Concubine De repeatedly urged.

The confidant realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately wrote a letter to send out of the palace.

Jiangnan.

After Chu Lian's careful management, the flood has been cured. Although it is not over yet, the officials in the south of the Yangtze River must not be left with nothing to do.

After they cleaned up, they decided to return to Kyoto.

On the night of departure, Chu Lian received a letter from Concubine De.

He burned the letter with an inexplicable expression. He knew that Yue Zongsheng wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't expect to be so impatient.

It seems that his plan can be advanced.

"Remember, you must protect Madam on the way. Don't let Madam out of sight."

Chu Lian still has confidence in himself, there is only one person in the world, and he is not at ease.

That person is Yao Suyu.

On the way back, just as Chu Lian had guessed, it was full of difficulties and dangers.

If not, his people were vigilant enough, and he might have died countless times.

Yao Suyu had lingering fears, "Who are you offending?"

Why do so many people want to harm Chu Lian?
"It's okay. Everything is up to me." Chu Lian said softly.
