Princess Jiaojiao is fierce and charming, making him blush and heartbeat

Chapter 18 Serving the People
After these days of traveling day and night, Xie Chengan and his party arrived in the south of the Yangtze River early.

Among the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, Meizhou was the most severely affected at this time.

Shi Hong, the magistrate of Meizhou, had already brought someone to greet him at the gate of the city. After receiving the person, he took him to the barracks first.

After seeing Chai Su, he found that he was seriously injured as he said in the letter.Chai Su was pale and still asleep, his whole head was covered with a thick bandage.

Xie Chengan looked at his former friend and sighed heavily.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that the governor may not survive this month."

Shi Hong's face was serious, he paused and continued: "It was raining heavily at the time, and I didn't pay attention when the falling rocks fell. The governor was busy saving people, and it was too late to react.

The stone hit the governor in the back of the head, and he fainted at that time.

Seven or eight doctors rescued him day and night for a few days before he could barely hang himself. The doctor said that he hadn't died for a long time, probably because he couldn't let go of the disaster. Two days ago, when he heard that the governor woke up, he hurried over and told him that the prince would meet. Come, he was relieved. "

Qi Yujin stood aside and watched the two talking without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Meizhou is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The governor has been making plans for the defense of this place in recent years. What he fears is the summer rain and high tide."

Shi Hong finally saw hope, and after leaving the Ministry of War, he brought the two of them to the government office, trying to describe the situation in the shortest possible words.

"This year, measures to prevent seawater were just completed, but before the project on the mountain could be implemented, there was a heavy rainstorm. I didn't take this rain seriously, but I didn't expect it to rain for more than ten days in a row. It didn’t stop. Although people were sent to the mountain for protection on the way, they couldn’t resist at all.”

Shi Hong's expression turned ugly, and he sighed as he spoke: "Well, it's the first time I've encountered such extreme weather since I took office 30 years ago. Your Excellency Governor has suffered such a catastrophe again. I'm really sorry for the black hat on my head."

Listening to his words, Qi Yujin couldn't help feeling bored, and he brought the teacup to his lips, covering up his displeased expression.

And Xie Chengan's mood became very heavy at this time. He didn't pay attention to what Shi Hong said later, and didn't care that Qi Yujin was still on the side. Now he was thinking about the disaster, so he got up and said that he would go to the worst-hit place to take a look .

Shi Hong agreed and went to prepare right away, but unfortunately, it rained heavily again at this moment.

"Oh, how can this be good?" Shi Hong said anxiously, "It's only been a few days, why is this happening again?"

"My lord, the rain is coming very violently, I'm afraid it's unsafe, why not leave later." Xie Chengan's lieutenant advised.

Xie Chengan hesitated in his heart, if he went late, he would be delayed, but this rainstorm came at such an inopportune time.

After a while, he nodded, then looked at Shi Hong, who was in trouble, and said, "Master Shi, don't panic, let's go after the rain has subsided. Don't worry, since this king is here, I will definitely not let my sister go." The state is repeating today's difficulties."

His voice is deep and powerful, and when the same words come out of his mouth, it will make people feel very at ease.

Shi Hong hurriedly wanted to kneel down to thank him, but Xie Chengan held his arm.

"You and I are both for the country of Daqu, there is no need for these."

Shi Hong was very grateful for his demeanor, but Qi Yujin on the other side didn't think so.

He is a prince, but in the eyes of these petty officials, he is not as good as a king with a different surname.

A trace of gloom flashed in Qi Yujin's eyes, and then she coughed lightly, got up and came to the two of them.

He stretched out his hand and patted Shi Hong's shoulder, and comforted him: "Master Shi, you just need to rest assured, since my father sent King Zhao and Bengong to rescue the disaster, I will definitely do my best."

Just now Shi Hong was only talking to King Zhao, but for a moment he forgot that there was still the third prince.

He was sweating coldly from Qi Yujin's palm, and he hurriedly said: "What Your Highness said is that the land and mountains of Daqu are under the feet of these people. You are a prince who is so considerate of the people's livelihood, and you are so considerate of people's livelihood at such a risk. Come on, I believe that Meizhou will get through this calamity soon."

Seeing that he was sensible, Qi Yujin didn't make things difficult for him, so she confessed: "In this case, I will go with King Zhao when the rain is less severe. When I know the truth, I can report to my father."

Xie Chengan frowned when he heard the words, he persuaded him kindly: "The mountain torrents are dangerous, I think it's better for His Highness to stay in the government office."

Qi Yujin snorted coldly in her heart, but there was a smile on her face: "Prince Zhao thinks that I am too delicate to take on this important task?"

"I don't dare," Xie Chengan lowered his head, "I'm just afraid that if something happens to His Highness, I won't be able to explain it to the Holy Majesty."

The corners of Qi Yujin's mouth twitched slightly, he straightened his expression, and said with a smile: "I have my own sense of proportion. Since my father asked me to come together, then I will definitely do my best to serve the people."

He looked at Xie Chengan with a smile on his face, but his eyes sank, "King Zhao just rest assured."

Xie Chengan raised his head and met his eyes. This Third Highness has been favored since childhood. Although he has met many times, he always feels that the other party has an inexplicable sense of alienation.

At this moment, his expression made me feel very weird in my heart, as if looking at my eyes was like looking at an enemy.

Xie Chengan knew that he couldn't think too much at this moment, after looking at each other for a while, he had no choice but to say: "Minister, I will obey orders."

Qi Yujin nodded in satisfaction.

He then turned to Shi Hong, pulling him like an old acquaintance and asking him to tell him about the disaster in detail.

Shi Hong was overwhelmed by the flattery, he glanced at Xie Chengan, before he could see the other's face clearly, he was pulled away by Qi Yujin.

Xie Chengan sighed silently, he turned and looked outside the door, the pouring rain created a thick mist that filled the yard.

He looked into the distance through the water mist, and the stilts of the mountain were obviously standing steadily, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
