There is no hate without reason in the world, and there is no love without reason. Of course, it is indeed awkward for the same man to talk about love.
Brother Zhu would want to stand up for him, but Brother Rong felt that things were not that simple. Unless this royal child is a real fool.
Jia Rong doesn't think he is a fool, so there is only one possibility left. This guy is looking for an excuse to vent.
Brother Cheng laughed sarcastically, "Brother Rong, don't look at us like that. What bad intentions can we brothers have? You and I hit it off, it would be pointless to find and beat up that hapless guy from the Water Transport Department... Yes If you have a little thought, don't look at us like this. The look in Brother Rong's eyes always makes me think that you will stab us in the back at some point."
Duan Yu laughed from behind, "Are you sometimes afraid?"
Brother Zhu said: "Brother Rong is famous. Except for those in the palace who are not well-informed, who among us doesn't know about it?"
Jia Rong doesn't like this. Damn it, none of these guys have pure thoughts. He always takes precautions before they happen, and since someone from the Water Transport Ministry came to threaten him, there might be some tricks behind it. But if you really dare to pay attention to cement, Brother Rong will be happy. Anyway, the people in the Ministry of Water Transport will definitely be the unlucky ones in the end.
He rolled his eyes at this guy who only knew how to talk, and said calmly: "I don't take the threat from the Water Transport Ministry to heart. It's the third day of rain, and I don't know about the relocation work of the people in the southern counties. What's going on, we'd better send more people to find out if anyone has come back."
Duan Yu also said: "The Hongze Lake embankment is the most important thing now, and we don't care about those bastards from the Water Transport Department for the time being. If they want to cause trouble at this time, how can we, as a family, control a Water Transport Governor? If we delay things, then we will Even the Thirteenth Master won’t let him go.”
"Today I'm going to take advantage of that pig's head temporarily. I'll find an opportunity to beat his mother again someday." Brother Lu snorted and said: "We came from Yangzhou today by Gaoyou Lake waterway. We saw many officials and civilians on both sides of the strait watching. , the relocation work among counties may not be easy."
It is human nature to join in the fun, and the flood discharge from Hongze Lake is such a scene. There will always be a group of people who are not afraid of death and want to watch from close range.
Duan Yu said: "Now the governor of the river has gone to Yangzhou for dispatch, and the senior river worker has gone to Gaoyou Lake. Now we are the only ones in charge here. Don't embarrass the Thirteenth Master and the bodyguards."
"I just arrived after receiving the letter from the Thirteenth Master. Brother Yu has to preside over this place." Brother Zhu said quickly, "The Thirteenth Master only told me that if we meet anyone who doesn't cooperate, let us take him to guard the embankment of Hongze Lake." The Sanhe Camp garrison captured all the people."
Brother Rong gave this guy a confused look and began to think that the reason this guy had people kidnapping officials from the Water Transport Ministry was probably because he had soldiers in his hands that gave him the confidence.
"How many soldiers are there in Sanhe Camp?"
Brother De said: "Although there are only two thousand people, we are worthy of the three thousand canal soldiers of the Water Transport Department."
This guy really regards the Water Transport Ministry as an imaginary enemy.
Brother Rong said: "The internal strife between the two camps is not a trivial matter."
"Brother Rong, I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on in the Huaihe River area. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, conflicts between water transportation and river channels were common. Private conflicts occurred every year. At the beginning, two governors were dismissed from office at the same time. It's something." Duan Yu laughed and said, "The soldiers in Brother Lu's hands are only a deterrent, so they don't dare to cause trouble."
Suddenly, the old river worker from the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion came to see him.
"The water in the lake is no longer able to accumulate, and there will be a risk of bursting tomorrow morning at the latest."
What?
Several people's bodies were stunned. "Isn't it raining a lot less today? Why can't it survive even tomorrow?"
The old river worker said helplessly: "The gods have shown mercy and have reduced the rain for the past two days. But in order to ensure that the water transportation is worry-free, the Ministry of Water Transport has temporarily decided to open the gates and release water in the upper reaches of the two rivers."
"The governor of water transportation who was fucked by a wild dog, the whole family has no butthole." Brother Brother yelled, "The collection deadline is only in November, and the gate has not been opened for a long time, and the gate has not been opened. What is the purpose of releasing water at this time? "
Jia Rong just listened to Duan Yu's words and understood the intention of the Governor of Water Transport. Although there is pressure on upstream water storage, it is not yet necessary to open the floodgates. In the final analysis, it is still for the benefit of the Water Transport Ministry. There is bound to be a conflict between rivers and water transportation. This wild dog is trying to squeeze out the governor of the rivers.
But damn it, Jia Rong and the others are in charge of the Hongze Lake embankment now.
"What a conspiracy." Duan Yu sneered, "I think the Ministry of Water Transport sent an order to the upstream sluices to slowly release water, which has put pressure on us. He also knows that Thirteenth Master has planned to drain Gaoyou Lake, and now he is just forcing Let's release the water as soon as possible so that the people on both sides of the southeastern coast who have not yet been completely relocated will suffer the disaster of the flood."
Brother Zhu hummed: "Damn it, they open the floodgates, we must release the water?"
Duan Yu said: "If it is not released, the Hongze Lake levee will break in many places, causing disasters for millions of people in Huaiyang. He is asking us to choose whether to release the flood in advance or gamble that the levee will not breach."
Brother Rong said: "Can we punish him because the Ministry of Water Transport secretly opened the gate to release water? A matter involving millions of lives in Huaiyang and Yangtze was regarded as a dispute of temper by him."
Duan Yu shook his head and said bitterly: "It's difficult to handle. The upper reaches of the Huang and Huai River are also under great pressure. The Governor of Water Transport can also quibble that he decided to open the floodgates to protect the people on both sides of the upper reaches."
"The conscience was eaten by wild dogs, the stinky maggots on the rotten meat. If we don't go to his yamen and catch him, I will change his surname to maggot." Brother Chu rolled up his sleeves, gritted his teeth and was about to look outside. The Sanhe Battalion garrison went to seize the water transportation department.
"Brother Lu, wait a minute." Brother Rong quickly stopped him, "Now is not the time to be angry. If you want to cause trouble for him, now is the time."
Duan Yu frowned and nodded, saying: "Now the Thirteenth Master has gone to Lema Lake, and the Governor of the River Road has gone to Yangzhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back and forth in one night. You and I are the only ones who can take charge of Hongze Lake. We must not let ourselves get into trouble.”
Brother Rong thought for a moment and said: "Time is urgent. I want to seek the opinions of the Thirteenth Master and Hetai, but it will definitely not work. Please go to the Sanhe Camp and send out several teams of soldiers to patrol both sides of the Sanhe River by speedboat to drive away the so-called The people have not been evacuated. Brother Yu is sitting on the embankment of Hongze Lake and aims an artillery piece at the preset flood outlet."
An elusive light flashed in Brother De'er's eyes, and he asked: "Brother Rong, what do you mean?"
Jia Rong did not answer him, but first asked the old river worker: "In the old man's opinion, if the water from the upper reaches flows into Hongze Lake, when will the embankment be in danger tomorrow?"
Lao Hegong said: "Between Mao and Chen."
Brother Rong gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Yu doubled his manpower to patrol the lake and observe the situation of the embankment now. At Mao hour, if the lake water rises, fire cannons to release the flood. The cannons must be accurate, and the flood outlet must not be too big. Don't hit the embankment next to it. otherwise……"
Duan Yu and Brother Zhu looked at each other, both of them looked strange, and sighed secretly. Duan Yu said: "Don't worry about this, Master Thirteen has already prepared for it."
When Brother Rong heard Duan Yu agree, his eyes secretly blamed Duan Yu for agreeing, and he also asked: "Brother Rong, do you have any other plans?"
Brother Rong thought quickly in his mind and said: "Brother, please call the Sanhe Battalion garrison to separate into several teams and follow me to the south bank of Gaoyou Lake to protect the slopes and block the low places to prevent the lake water from rising too much and flooding the low-lying areas on both sides."
"The Sanhe Camp is stationed for..." Brother Lu was about to say something when he suddenly saw the jade plaque in Jia Rong's hand and swallowed his words suddenly. He cupped his hands and said, "I accept your order."
The officials of the Water Conservancy Camp and Field Office who were left behind at the embankment of Hongze Lake were also mobilized, and several teams of troops were sent to various counties to search for people.
Duan Yu looked at Brother Rong's back and let out a long sigh.
…………
"Does grandma miss uncle?" Xiang Ling said with a smile, "It's all because of the letter that uncle sent yesterday."
Qin Keqing frowned slightly, always feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Que'er followed: "My uncle told me not to think too much when she is pregnant. It is said that maintaining an optimistic attitude will also be good for grandma's health."
Grandma Rong chuckled lightly, thinking that she was overthinking it, and told Xiang Ling to get some food. Princess Zhongshun's maid Jiayi came to take care of her again and comfort her.
When he went to bed at night, Qin Keqing couldn't sleep.
Late at night, I finally fell into a dream.
"Look, this boy looks exactly like me." Uncle Rong came back from abroad wearing golden armor, looking very majestic. He wears a long sword on his waist, just like the second prince in the Jia family ancestral hall.
Keqing smiled shyly and said, "The uncle has finally returned. In the past few days, the little maids have been teasing me to call him master."
Uncle Rong laughed loudly and asked, "Has he learned it now?"
But Qing said: "If the uncle never comes back, it will be useless for him to learn how to call."
"That's right. I can't even get over the urge to have sex when I'm not in the house. Now that I'm back, I'll make you two happy." Uncle Rong laughed.
Qin Keqing looked even more embarrassed. The uncle had just returned to the house and was thinking about that embarrassing thing. It was really annoying. Blushing, she said, "Ke'er will remove your armor for the uncle."
"Easy each other!"
Ke Qing hid for a moment and said, "Everyone is here."
"Aren't we the only two in the room?"
Qin Keqing was slightly startled and looked around. Sure enough, she and the uncle were the only ones in the room. Then I thought about it, my brother must have been taken back by the nanny. He fell into Brother Rong's arms with a hum, and as soon as his face touched the armor, he felt a deep and biting coldness.
She just thought of the armor as this, and with her slender hands, she removed the uncle's armor and changed into his pajamas.
…………
Brother Rong is very, very tired.
"General, please rest for a while," a general said.
"We can't rest." Jia Rong braved the rain and walked towards the river step by step with stones in his hands. "This river is relatively low. If the water level of Gaoyou Lake rises, it is very likely that the lake water will pour into the river and spread to both sides."
The soldiers also gritted their teeth and speeded up to fill in the low-lying areas on both sides of the bank. The armor and weapons next to him were scattered all over the floor. The rain from the sky was merciless, soaking everyone's hair and confusing everyone's eyes.
Such things happened on the rivers along Gaoyou Lake. There were soldiers from the Sanhe Camp and county officials. They didn't dare to be lazy, especially after seeing the jade plaque in Uncle Rong's hand, they didn't dare to complain.
When the sky was dark, there was a muffled sound in the sky.
Like thunder.
Jia Rong can feel the rain getting heavier!
"Speed up." Jia Rong shouted and asked, "Have all the villages along the rivers been evacuated?"
In the Huaiyang area, what is most feared is the backflow of lake water, causing disasters on both sides of the rivers.
Brother Lu came late on horseback and finally saw Brother Rong who looked like a clay figure. "All the people in Gaoyou Lake have moved away. Brother Rong, let's take a rest first. Even if the water in Gaoyou Lake surges, it will at most flood the surrounding fields and won't hurt anyone."
Jia Rong, who had been rained all night, saw Brother Zhu coming over and heard the news again. I finally felt a lot more relieved, even though my whole body was trembling despite the cold rain hitting me. He gritted his teeth and said: "The runoff of this river is low. Even though the surrounding area has been evacuated, it is difficult to ensure that it flows back into the upper reaches. There are still several people in the villages there, and they are all in a dream at this time."
In her previous life, Jia Rong, who had lived in the south since childhood, had a deep impression of floods. Sometimes, it doesn't need a big torrent to sweep people into a torrent. In his previous life, when he was in elementary school, he had witnessed a person being swept away by a flood, and he was standing on the shore. Although I chased him all the way along the coast, I couldn't catch up.
This matter has always been a knot in his mind, buried for many years.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jia Rong, Brother Zhu had no choice but to take off his soaked clothes and throw them aside, calling for the soldiers who came with him to join in.
Soon after, everyone heard the sound of rushing water coming from the north.
Everyone's hands and feet became faster.
I don’t know how long it took, but everyone was exhausted. They just watched the Gaoyou Lake getting wider and wider, and the river where they were located began to flow back.
"Brother Rong!"
"General!"
"Quick...quick..."
…………
"Why is it still so cold, uncle?" Qin Keqing pressed her little face against Uncle Rong's chest.
Uncle Rong smiled and said: "Is it cold? I don't feel cold. I feel that the blood all over my body is warm."
Qin Keqing spat, touched Brother Rong's hands, and said, "Uncle, you still want to coax me, even your hands are cold. Hold Ke'er tightly, Ke'er will warm the uncle up."
After Uncle Rong burst into laughter, Qin Keqing felt her whole body tremble and get goose bumps.
Cold, cold, freezing cold.
She looked up and saw Uncle Rong's lips were purple and his face was pale.
"ah……"
"What's wrong, grandma?" Suddenly, there was a noise in Ning Guo's mansion. Under the dim and bright sky, the entire Ningguo Mansion was alarmed.
Qin Keqing's tears couldn't stop flowing, and everyone kept comforting her, only listening to her mumbling.
"Jiangnan...Jiangnan..."
"uncle!"
"I'm going to Jiangnan!"
"I'm going to Jiangnan to find the uncle!"
…………
Jinling, Wang family.
Wang Xifeng was pacing back and forth in the room. She was upset and uncomfortable when she woke up early in the morning.
"What do you want grandma to pack for?" Ping'er saw it and asked very puzzledly.
"Go to Huai'an Mansion." Wang Xifeng's hands couldn't help but tremble. She finally remembered why she felt uneasy. The dream in the morning, that short dream, was becoming more and more clear in her mind.
"Grandma, why are you going to Huai'an? We have just spotted two places, and there are still a few more to go on..."
"What are you going on about? Something happened to that bastard."
Sister Feng cursed loudly and raised her head. Ping'er saw that her eyes were already red, and tears rolled down her face.
