Chapter 80 Something Happened (Part [-])

The geographical location of Ningjiang Town is unique. Logically speaking, even if the people in this place are not wealthy, they shouldn't be like this!
Not far away, the hazy water in the river gradually cleared up, and occasionally there were some floating objects. The dilapidated houses in the distance looked a little lonely in the sun, and on the bank of the river, a few figures were still salvaging something. .Come to think of it, these people should be those fishermen outside the town!

"There used to be a lot of fishermen living along the river. They lived by the water. Because the river is close to the water, the water quality is very good, so this time the casualties were relatively small. However, all the houses along the river collapsed, and some people flooded into the town. I simply fled to other towns." Lieutenant General Li stood on the upper side of Lin Xiaoxiao, blocking the slightly chilly river wind, and pointed to some people who were still salvaging: "These are all People who don’t want to leave their homeland.”

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it's the people who suffer!" Lin Xiaoxiao stared slightly at the river: "I'm afraid a lot of things have been washed into the river this time by the flood, so let's send some people to help them salvage them in the afternoon!"

Lin Xiaoxiao walked over the slightly damp shoal lightly, looking at some clothes that the people over there salvaged from the water, there were still many useful ones, and even quite a few young lads simply took off their clothes Jump into the water, sink to the bottom of the river to salvage some sunken heavy objects.Looking from a distance, it is full of depression, but it is full of vitality.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao and his group of three walking towards this side from a distance, many people put down their work one after another, and looked at the three of them at a loss. Although they lived outside Ningjiang Town, but what happened in the town They knew something about Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, and they had some guesses about the identities of Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Vice General Li!" Lin Xiaoxiao stood still slightly until the soles of her shoes were slightly soaked by the river water, and looked sideways at Lieutenant General Li beside her: "Go up and help!"

Lieutenant General Li frowned slightly, then bent down and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

"Here, Wangfei..." Reading watched Lieutenant General Li striding towards the few men not far away, said something in a low voice, and then followed them to cast the fishing net in his hand a little clumsily When he arrived in the river, his eyes flickered slightly, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's beautiful neck, and then quickly moved away: "What is the princess planning to do?"

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Reading with admiration, looked at the many women on the other side where they were drying their clothes, and sighed faintly: "You are the smartest of the four of you, you have a clear mind!" Walking towards some dilapidated houses not far from there.

The corner of the mouth of the book is slightly hooked, does the princess mean that she recognizes her?
The houses are a little crude, with a lot of ropes tied outside the house, which are full of dried fish, and an unpleasant smell blows to the face. On the other side of the big stone, there are a few dustpans, and inside are some white dustpans. Shells, the walls of the house are soaked by water, and under the sunlight, you can faintly see a wave of heat rising up. Not far away, there are several naughty children running around there, if it is not because of This flood, this should be a perfect picture.

"Princess, the smell here is a bit strong, why don't you go somewhere else!" Read the book and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao worriedly. There was the smell of the river water soaking the house and drying it in the sun, the smell of salted fish, and the An earthy smell, mixed together, extremely unpleasant.The outside of the yard is surrounded by fences. It seems that the flood has just raged, so the fences can still see the traces of being erected again.There is a small circle made of wooden fences in the yard, and there are some geese in it, which also exudes a strange smell that people are not used to.

"It's okay, just turn around!" Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be worried, turned around casually, and then was about to go towards Lieutenant General Li, when suddenly Lin Xiaoxiao paused, and saw a similar person not far away. The old man in his seventies was fishing for something tremblingly, but due to lack of strength, the area of ​​the net cast each time was not large enough, and only some aquatic plants and some muddy water were salvaged.

"That old man is so pitiful!" Reading followed Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, then glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao carefully, seeing that her face was unchanged, he was relieved, but he was also very strange in his heart, Wang Hao What is the plan?Like Nianqi and the others, she believed that Lin Xiaoxiao's every move must have some kind of intention.

"Damn it, if this happens every thirty years or so, how will our common people live!" Beside him was an old man in his sixties with a long pole on his shoulders and a pair of fishing nets behind him. Standing not far from Lin Xiaoxiao's master and servant with a strong local accent, he was also staring at the old man over there, shaking his head slightly.

"If that's the case, why don't you leave here?" Received Lin Xiaoxiao's signal, read the book and looked at the old farmer slightly sideways, and asked with doubts on his face.

"It's hard to leave the homeland after all!" The old farmer shook his head, shaking the fishing net and walking barefoot towards the river.

"But isn't it dangerous to stay here?" Lin Xiaoxiao and the two couldn't help but followed him and walked towards the river. Dongxi, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao and the others coming, quickly put down the work in hand and walked over, while looking suspiciously at the old farmer who was walking on the other side.

"Floods can be avoided, but these deadly officials just ignore them!" The old farmer stopped by the river and put down his long pole: "Just like 30 years ago, His Royal Highness found a way to prevent floods. Later, even the plague was brought under control!"

"Princess—" Lieutenant General Li was shocked by this news, and couldn't help shouting in shock.

A dark light flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she stared at Lieutenant Li with a condensed look in her eyes. She ignored it and turned around to look at the old farmer who was stunned by Lieutenant Li's address. A gentle smile instantly returned to her face: "Old man Does it mean that the crown prince has found a way to control the plague? I don’t know what it is!" Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t ask the way to prevent the flood, but asked the way to control the plague first. At this time, the student standing behind her couldn’t help being slightly surprised , She had never heard of this news, and she stared at Lin Xiaoxiao's back with admiration in her eyes.

"Oh, I am old, how can I remember so much!" The old farmer was obviously shocked by Lieutenant General Li's statement, and his attitude was slightly respectful at this time, but with a slight alienation, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled Laughing: "That's disturbing the old man!" She naturally understood how these people rejected the royal family's officials.

When walking back, Lieutenant General Li was immersed in shock and couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaoxiao's silhouette: "Princess, why..."

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped, turned slightly to look at Lieutenant General Li, with a deep smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Vice General Li is under the prince's command?"

"Uh." Lieutenant General Li couldn't understand Lin Xiaoxiao's jumping thinking for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded respectfully: "Yes!"

"It's rare that the prince has such talents!" Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and continued walking. The road ahead was flat, but the soil on the ground was a little wet, sticking to the soles of the shoes, and the hem of the skirt was slightly stained: "This princess has always I thought the so-called lieutenants were all under the command of the prince!"

Lieutenant General Li's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao in astonishment: "Princess, what does she mean?"
The study behind him is also tense, the words of the princess... are a bit outrageous, if they are heard by others, they are only a prince and they are thinking about the military power in the hands of the prince!

"My concubine has no other meaning!" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled: "After all, the prince is the king of war and in charge of military power. It is understandable that this concubine thinks so!"

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Li felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether the princess was trying to test his tone, or if it was true... No, the princess he knew was thoughtful, and it was impossible for her to say such a thing. Then, her meaning is--

"Lieutenant General Li has a clear mind, but being a lieutenant general is a bit of a shame!" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but quicken her steps when the town in front of her was already in sight. , Worried about studying, he forgot the look of Lieutenant Li, who was still in shock beside him, and slightly restrained himself, before quickly catching up with Lin Xiaoxiao in front.

When we returned to the town guard's mansion, it was almost noon. Lieutenant General Li went back to report to Lin Zhengtao, while Lin Xiaoxiao went straight back to the courtyard. Although it was autumn, the weather was still a bit stuffy. As soon as he walked into the room, he saw the Some delicious meals have been prepared, and An Yijue is sitting there looking out of the window with some boredom.

"Miss!" Almost as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao stepped into the door, An Yijue stood up with a feeling: "You have been out all morning, you must be hungry!" Wring it dry and hand it to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Hurry up and wash up, let's eat!" He also retreated from the study consciously.

"You made all of these?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the delicious food on the table, and gave An Yijue a positive look: "Yes, this time there is no burnt smell, and the craftsmanship has improved!"

"It will definitely be better next time!" An Yijue immediately showed a joyful smile after receiving the affirmation, but he didn't dare to tell her that all the burnt dishes went into his and Wu Yan's stomachs.

Wiping the tiny sweat stains on her cheeks, and then wiping her hands, Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and sat down: "Why do you have time to cook, when you're all done?"

"It's almost there, the prime minister is watching over there now, and besides, the prime minister's people will come tomorrow." An Yi never elaborated, while filling her with rice, she carefully looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's face: "Miss, do you have something on your mind?"

"No!" Lin Xiaoxiao took the rice, and the dishes in front of her were all ordinary vegetarian dishes. The cabbage looked a little greasy, and the shredded potatoes on the other side were finely cut, but it seemed that some of them were not cooked yet. Look, it's quite a show, Lin Xiaoxiao resignedly picked up a chopstick.

"My lady, what's the matter, I didn't mix it up this time, I just added salt!" An Yijue looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction nervously.

"Well, it's a bit...salty!" Lin Xiaoxiao tried not to spit it out, forget it, he can do this well, and he can swallow it with rice.

After eating, the two of them strolled to the front yard together. Although the yard was slightly elegant, it was also exquisite and beautiful. The two walked side by side, one tall and one short, but it did not give people any sense of contradiction.

"My lord, my concubine!" As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw the Ningquan guard walking over in a panic, and respectfully saluted An Yijue and Lin Xiaoxiao: "My lord, something happened!"

-

The reconstruction of the city wall on the south side of Ningjiang Town has been in full swing for several days, and many people in the city also spontaneously came to help. During this time, the soldiers under An Yijue's command and the people under the prince's command brought by Lin Zhengtao got along well on the surface. , but in fact they are dissatisfied.

There are millions of soldiers and horses in Dongyi Kingdom, and An Yijue controls almost three-quarters of them. The rest may be in the hands of King Ying, King Xin and the Prince, and some of them are in the hands of the Emperor. Generally speaking, An Yijue has absolute control. Advantages, of course, these are only on the surface, An Yijue is very prestigious in the army, sometimes, his words are often more important than soldiers, this is what the emperor fears the most.

And this time, the soldiers brought by Lin Zhengtao belonged to the prince. Unlike the soldiers brought by An Yijue, these soldiers were all baptized on the battlefield. Yes, so there are some people who are dissatisfied.

Naturally, the people on An Yijue's side also disdain the people under the prince's subordinates, so the two sides looked at each other and hated each other. It has collapsed, there are still many people there below, the city wall collapsed suddenly, I never thought it would cause a disaster!
When An Yijue and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, some of the injured civilians had already been carried away, and the rest of the people cleaned up the scene here. Fortunately, everyone found out quickly, but no one was killed!

"What's going on? Where's the prime minister!" An Yijue asked coldly as soon as he arrived here, after looking around for a week.

"Prime Minister just stood here for a while, and saw that the sun was getting brighter, so I went to the dark place of the building over there!" A soldier stood up cautiously, resisting the urge to break out in cold sweat, and tremblingly walked to the corner of Anyi. In front of him, he pointed to the intact house not far away.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, and then at the houses not far away. Among them, she didn't see Wu Yan. Strange, isn't he here to supervise?And Lieutenant General Li was also missing.

"Go and call the prime minister to me!" An Yijue shouted angrily at the soldiers on the side.

"Yes!" The soldier who was still a little trembling heard An Yijue's loud shout, straightened his body suddenly, and then replied loudly.

Standing behind the crowd, Ning Quan looked at An Yijue in slight astonishment, then at Lin Xiaoxiao, and immediately bowed his head without making a sound.An Yijue stared coldly at the rows of soldiers kneeling in front of him, and he couldn't contain his anger: "You like fighting so much, so now this king orders you all to fight me!"
