The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 95 Even if there is a Shengge, it will break the heart (3)
The pride he once had was torn to pieces, how much he would have to pay to win it back, he has always had a very clear calculation in his heart.

He slowly let go of his palms again, turned his head to look at the child on the bed, and said lightly, "Call it Su Xing."

Jinghao was startled for a moment, her eyes changed a lot in an instant, and then she responded in a low voice: "You choose, that's naturally good. Su Xing."

Su Li took a clean outer shirt and put on it, Fang said again: "From now on, don't come to the barracks again."

Jing Hao's expression changed, and his brows frowned slightly.

"I'm free, I'll go back home." Su Li changed his clothes, turned around and took out his sword, and then took a good look at Jing: "Go back."

A smile returned to Jinghao's face: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qingyue, fifty miles outside Jiangzhou city.

The moonlight was in the sky, and the countryside was vast, but there was a group of horseshoes in the darkness, which came from a distance, from blurred to clear, breaking the silence of the night.

Jinse woke up suddenly, and opened her eyes to see that it was already dark, and the fire that had been lit in front of her at some point in time was only a faint flame.

They arrived here at noon, thinking of taking a short rest so that they could advance to the city in the dark, but Jin Se fell asleep instead.

"The girl is awake." Seeing her waking up, the guard next to her hurriedly said, "There should be people from Jiangzhou City ahead."

Jinse responded softly, looked up at the coffin containing Haitang's body, and fell silent again.

But after a while, a group of people stopped in front of several people, the first person got off his horse, caught Jinse and called out: "Lady?"

Jin Se only felt a headache: "How dare you welcome the Marquis of Jing'an?"

"My lady, if you say something like this between us, isn't it a matter of birth?" Lu Li smiled and came over to pull her, "Yun Qi has prepared a carriage for you so that my lady can have a good rest."

Because of sleeping earlier, the drowsiness of traveling for several days has subsided a lot. Sitting in the carriage, Jinse no longer has the desire/desire to close her eyes. All the way to Jiangzhou City, she just opened her eyes wide and silently. Preoccupied.

After entering Jiangzhou City, the road that was supposed to be smooth began to be a little bumpy. Jinse came back to his senses, opened the curtains of the car, and saw that the streets in the city were still more or less covered with mud. The scene after the flood receded.

Seeing her poking her head out, Lu Li said, "It flooded again two days ago, and the mud hasn't been cleared yet."

"If this is the case in the city, wouldn't the flooding in the countryside be more serious?" Jinse asked.

"That's needless to say. After all, it's a mess." Lu Li sighed.

"With only a third of your financial resources, you can build a new city and move the disaster-stricken people there, can't you?" Jinse continued to ask with rare thoughts.

Lu Li still just sighed: "Jiang and Tai provinces, although there are many people affected by the disaster, it's not impossible to solve it with my financial resources. It's just that the regent is probably used to being poor, so he doesn't dare to spend such a large amount of money."

After speaking, he winked at Jinse and smiled, obviously to tease her.

Jinse smiled at him very cooperatively: "Then you can build more than a dozen new cities by yourself, and when they are completed, you can be the lord of the city yourself, and then recruit soldiers and horses, and then you can become the emperor of your own side."

Lu Li glared at her, touched his nose, and wanted to say something more, but when he looked up, he found that he had already arrived at the yamen, so he winked at Jin Se: "Here we are."

The carriage came to a steady stop, and Jinse bent over and jumped down, just stepping on a piece of mud, which made Lu Li laugh out loud, "Get out of the mud without being stained, great, great!"

He was smiling, when suddenly a person walked out of the gate of the county government office, Lu Li suddenly stopped laughing, "My lord."

Su Mo stood at the door in black casual clothes, seemed to be a little calmer, his eyes were cold and far away, just looking at the coffin on the carriage behind Jinse.

Jinse glanced at him hastily, then lowered her head and stood behind Lu Li.

Su Mo walked forward slowly, walked all the way to the coffin, paused for a moment, and then said to the people next to him, "Open it."

Soon someone opened the sealed coffin. Su Mo stood beside the coffin, staring quietly at the person in the coffin. After a long time, he slowly reached out and stroked the cold face of the person lying inside.

He stood there for a long time, and someone beside him finally reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, if you are more exposed, let's enter the mansion."

Su Mo then slowly withdrew his hand: "Bring the coffin to my room."

The people around were suddenly full of surprise: "My lord, this...is not auspicious?"

Su Mo raised his hand to caress the center of his eyebrows, and said no more.The people around didn't dare to question anymore, they hurriedly carried the coffin and went to the government office.

He just turned around and walked back. When he walked to Lu Li's side, Jin Se was still standing behind Lu Li, lowering his head, looking at his toes in boredom.

Su Mo went straight into the mansion without stopping.

This time the floods were fierce. Although the terrain of Jiangzhou City was not low-lying, the whole city was attacked. Even the county government office smelled of damp and decay.

Jinse was placed in a simple room with new mattresses, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.It was dawn within two hours, and she heard the sound of people walking outside, so she got up, washed up a bit, and when she opened the door, she saw a dozen people who looked like officials standing outside in the small courtyard. what to wait for.

Hearing the sound of her door opening, the door of the next room also opened. Lu Li stretched his muscles and walked out from inside. While looking at the opposite wing, he walked to Jinse's side and said, "It's really rare. In the past, the earliest people, the door is still closed today.”

When Jinse heard this, she also glanced at the opposite wing, only to realize that Su Mo lived there.Thinking of Haitang's coffin inside, my heart sank.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Li smiled and took Jinse's hand, "I'll take you to eat delicious food. In the past, the regent brought you along, and all officials were like refugees, eating porridge and steamed buns together. It's so dull. It's rare that you came today, and he hasn't gotten up yet, so we can take the opportunity to have a full meal."

Jinse withdrew her hand, smiled lightly and said, "No wonder you had no way to find a way out in various countries. How can a person like you, Lu Sanfen, be suitable for an official career?"

As soon as the words were finished, the door on the opposite side suddenly opened with a "squeak", and the officials in the courtyard immediately cheered up, Lu Li suddenly showed a bitter look, and lowered his voice and said to Jinse: "I have to eat porridge and steamed buns again. "

Su Mo, who was wearing a green shirt, stepped out of the room, his brows looked tired, but his expression remained the same.Everyone lowered their heads, he waved his hand away slightly, and when he spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Today, the king wants to visit Lujia Village, so please spread out, my lords, go to the nearby villages to check the disaster situation, and report back in three days. "

All the officials responded one after another, and quickly assigned their inspection areas and dispersed.

Su Mo then looked at Lu Li and Jinse who were standing in the opposite corridor, turned around and walked towards the dining room, Lu Li dragged Jinse to go with him.

Before the two of them entered the dining room, they heard Su Mo coughing in a low voice. Lu Li dragged Jinse in, and when he entered, he yelled out in surprise, "Oh, is it my eyesight? It's buns?"

Where there used to be a plate of rough-faced steamed buns every day, today it is indeed replaced by a stack of steamed buns.Su Mo sat in the upper seat and arranged the bowls and chopsticks by himself, while Lu Li unceremoniously pulled Jinse to sit down.

Among the three, only Lu Li seemed to have a good appetite. Su Mo took a bowl of porridge and drank it leisurely, while Jinse took a bun and ate it in small bites.

In fact, she was never sure what kind of existence Haitang was in Su Mo's heart. Now, although Su Mo seemed to be calm on the surface, Jinse vaguely felt that he was actually brooding over Haitang's death.

Thinking of this, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Su Mo.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo had already put down the bowl, and was sitting across from him, looking at her coldly.

All of a sudden, the four eyes met, and Jinse didn't expect it, and the bun in his hand fell to the table all at once.Su Mo and Luli cast their gazes at the same time, Jinse lowered her head to clean up the mess in front of her, and finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Lu Li chuckled, "What's the big deal?"

Jinse knew that he was pretending to be stupid, so he didn't answer, but Su Mo stood up slowly, but just said to Lu Li, "Eat quickly, after eating, we can go on the road."

After finishing speaking, he just walked out without looking back, and the faint emptiness in Jinse's heart gradually enlarged.

Lu Li suddenly patted her hand, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and put two buns in the package, or you will feel better if you go to Lujia Village."

"Lujiacun?" Jinse paused slightly, shook her head and said, "I won't go."

"Why don't you go?" Lu Li pulled her up involuntarily, "Even if the regent is relieved to leave you here alone, I'm not at ease. What if the killer comes again?" He stretched out his hand He gestured twice on Jinse's neck.

Jinse took his hand away: "Your regent will not want to see me."

"If you don't want to talk to him, then you can ignore him." Lu Li still smiled, "I want to see you, why not?"

In the end, Jinse still went to Lujia Village together. Along the way, he saw the ruins of houses and mud all over the place, and he was shocked.

When they arrived at the entrance of Lujia Village, there was almost a swamp in front of them. No matter how difficult it was for the horses to move forward, the group had to dismount, take off their shoes and socks, roll up their trouser legs, and grope through the swamp.

Jinse frowned watching the actions of the men, paused, and took off her shoes.

Lu Li hastily pressed her hand: "What are you going to do? How can my daughter's ankles be exposed so easily? Just stay safe, I'll carry you over."

As soon as the words fell, he seemed to think of something. He looked at Su Mo, who was separated by two or three people, and saw that Su Mo was listening carefully to the local villagers' guidance on the high and low areas of the water, and he seemed to have never paid attention to Jinse.

Jinse thought about it for a while, and didn't want to cause trouble, so she nodded and agreed.

A group of people started wading through the water. Lu Li carried Jin Se firmly on his back and walked to the side of Su Mo. While cautiously probing forward, he said some innocuous words to Su Mo.

Jinse turned her head to the other side, leaning on Lu Li's shoulder, but couldn't help but think of the other person's shoulder.

It was as if he saw the snow-covered mountain again, no matter whether the man was carrying her or hugging her, he was always protecting her tightly, not wanting to let her suffer any harm.It is actually a great happiness to be protected by people like this.

During this period of time, although she had a lot of thoughts, her mood didn't fluctuate much, but at this moment, she didn't know why she couldn't calm down, and she shed tears silently.

Lu Li suddenly exclaimed, "Is it raining again?"

Everyone looked up at the sky, but it was clear that the sky was clear.

But Su Mo glanced at Jinse on his back indifferently, and quickened his pace calmly.

Jinse also suddenly realized that her thoughts were confused, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and collected her thoughts, and when she passed through the water and got off Lu Li's back, she had returned to her previous appearance.

Lu Li looked at her slightly red eyes and laughed, "What's wrong? The sun is dazzling?"

Jinse ignored him, turned her head, and saw a few villagers in front of her coming forward, bowed to the local magistrate, and heard the magistrate's statement of Su Mo's identity, they all knelt and kowtowed in a hurry.

Su Mo personally helped several people up. The first one was the village head. Su Mo asked about the situation in the village carefully, and at the same time asked the village head to take everyone to look around.

Jinse was led alone to the ancestral hall, which was still sheltered from wind and rain, but when she passed a ruined temple, she saw many weak villagers lying dying inside and outside the ruined temple.

She paused, and was about to take two steps closer to have a look, but was suddenly stopped by the guide: "Girl, I can't go, these people are sick, I'm afraid it's the plague! No one in the village dares to come here now, if it wasn't for today Come to greet you adults, villains will never pass through this place."

While talking, a figure of Yuebai suddenly turned around the corner of the ruined temple, and behind him were two teenagers carrying medicine boxes. Although the three of them were all covered with cloth, Jinse still recognized Yuebai at a glance. The figure came: "Pei Yiqing?"

Pei Yiqing didn't pay attention to the two people here, but took the medicine bowls from the two medical boys, and fed the medicine to the people lying on the ground one by one.Two medical boys also took the medicine one after another and helped the patient drink it.

At this moment, the person in the corridor suddenly started to twitch and foam at the mouth. Pei Yiqing quickly got up and walked over, but he couldn't control the person alone, and couldn't help saying: "Come and help!"

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands of a woman appeared beside him, helping him to hold down the convulsed patient.

Pei Yiqing raised his phoenix eyes, and Jin Se nodded slightly at him: "Mr. Pei."

He didn't answer, but quickly threw a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Jinse.Jinse understood it, took it to cover her mouth and nose, pressed the man harder and harder, and watched Pei Yiqing calmly administer the needle and feed the medicine.

The man finally calmed down, Jinse breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Pei Yiqing still looked stern, she raised her heart again: "Mr. Pei, will the plague really break out?"

Pei Yiqing stood up and said flatly, "It cannot be spared."

Jinse's mind was concentrated: "Then, does Mr. have a cure?"

"There is a good recipe, but the medicinal materials are hard to find." Pei Yiqing's phoenix eyes flashed a trace of indiscernible emotion, "If Haitang is still there, with her wisdom, it is not difficult to solve this problem."

Jinse's body froze slightly, and after a while, seeing that the two medical boys still hadn't finished feeding the medicine, she said in a low voice, "I'll help feed the medicine."

Pei Yiqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Please trouble girl."

Due to the flood, most of the houses in the village have been washed away, leaving only one ancestral hall to shelter from the wind and rain. Later, the local officials ordered people to temporarily build a few big houses, so that the local villagers could barely settle down. This time, Su Mo When a group of people came, the resting place became a problem.Fortunately, there are two houses behind the ancestral hall. Although the houses are crooked, they can barely live in.The local officials were terrified and did not dare to let Su Mo live in such a place, but Su Mo insisted that he could only settle down here.

At night, Jinse lay on a temporary bed made of bricks and wood, staring at the roof with wide-open eyes, without any sleepiness.

The roof was made of grass, and there was probably no one living there for several days, and one corner was blown away by the wind and no one took care of it. From where Jinse was lying, one could just see the sky on the roof, with bright stars.

The stars are shining brightly, which means that the sun is still a sunny day.In the face of floods, rain is certainly frightening, but sunny days may not make people feel at ease.In such hot weather, once an epidemic breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Pei Yiqing said that if Haitang was still there, she would surely be able to come up with a good way to find the medicinal materials.But Haitang is no longer there, and she died to protect her.

Jinse grabbed her collar and turned over, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing from the next room.

Su Mo lives next door.

She heard his footsteps gradually disappearing, so she also got up quietly.

Lujia Village is near Jingshui, and the river wind is very strong at night, making people feel cold.She watched Su Mo walking towards the river, then hugged her arms tightly and followed behind him.

The water by the river was turbulent, Su Mo stood by the water, his clothes fluttered by the night wind.From a distance, Jinse looks like a painting with the sky and the earth as the background. Between the sky and the earth, there is only his lonely and desolate back.

She stood quietly behind him for a long time, finally unable to bear the cold wind, she covered her mouth and nose and sneezed.

Amidst such loud wind and water sounds, the person in front suddenly turned his face. Under the dark night, she couldn't see his expression, but she only felt that his eyes were as cold and cold as the stars in the sky, cast on her. body.

Jinse's face was a little numb from the night wind, so no matter how indifferent he was, she could remain calm.Originally, I was a little dazed when I followed him out, but since I still disturbed him now, it's better to go back.

Jinse turned around silently and walked back slowly.

Su Mo still stood by the water, looked at her back for a moment, then turned around again, allowing her to walk farther and farther with her back turned to him, looked down at the scar on the palm of her hand, and then slowly squeezed her hands together.

Back in the house, Jinse felt a little groggy, which was a sign of wind and cold. When she woke up the next day, she really had a stuffy nose, tinnitus, and sneezing again and again.

The breakfast was eaten with the villagers, and it was the clear porridge and rough-faced steamed buns that Lu Li was talking about.Seeing that Jinse was sick, Lu Li sighed even more: "I can't even eat a bite when I'm sick, isn't it really hard?"

Jinse took a sip of porridge, looked at him and said, "If you want to resign from this title now, would the imperial court agree?"

Lu Li rubbed his chin, and sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid you don't know that what I bought from the Prince Regent is an iron hat, and I can't take it off."

Was it a hereditary title?Jinse was slightly surprised: "What is the asking price?"

"Priceless." Lu Li grimaced, "From now on, I will only be exploited by others."

Jinse sighed cooperatively: "You are really at a loss for this deal."

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by a few coughs, suddenly there was another person in the opposite position.Jinse knew who it was without looking up, so she just lowered her head to eat.

"The prince is also sick?" Lu Li looked at Su Mo and said, "Why don't you go back to Jiangzhou City to recuperate for a few days?"

"It's okay." Su Mo waved his hand, glanced over Jinse, and then looked at Lu Li again, "You can go back to Jiangzhou and send an order to the local officials to let them all come here. I took a brief look last night After passing the terrain, going up the river from here is the best location, I want to see the topography and channel of Jingshui in person, so that I can find a good way to control the water."

Lu Li shook his head as soon as he heard it: "It's such a hard work, why should the prince bow to him personally, just send a few people down."

Su Mo sneered, and said: "In all these years, which time has it not been the local officials who control the water, every year the water is flooded every year, this time I would like to see how difficult the water is to control!"

"It's true." Lu Li turned his gaze back to Jinse and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take Miss Song back to Jiangzhou. She's also sick, and my daughter's body is weak. It's better to go back to recuperate."

Jinse raised his head to look at him, Lu Li raised his eyebrows proudly at her, Jinse frowned, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Yiqing coming from a distance.As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by many villagers. Anyone who had a patient in the ruined temple at home would pull him worriedly and ask questions.
