Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 107 Sunset Silhouette

On the second day, Cai Qi, Cai Xing, Xiang Dazhuang, and Tang Chengmin set off and agreed to meet outside the capital city in five days. Yu Jingyan would send Qiao Lili back to the capital, and their horses were fast, so they were allowed to go first.

The four of them brought Lao Wu and Erniu with them. Yu Jingyan also gave Lao Wu to Qiao Lili, so that the uncle and nephew could keep each other company. Lao Wu and Erniu drove a horse-drawn carriage, carrying the souvenirs that Qiao Lili bought in Dunhua Ancient City.

The elder son and the eldest grandson were both going to the capital, and the village head said that he was reluctant to let them go, but what good future would they have if they stayed at home and worked in the fields, so it was better to let the children go and have a try. After all, he still had three sons and a daughter, so he had no shortage of children to take care of him.

Erniu has an older sister and a younger brother, and he is not his parents' only child, so he can leave if he wants. The child is still young, and he may be more promising than his fifth uncle.

Besides, it is such an honor to be favored by the prince's wife. The whole village is envious and wants their children to be favored. Why should you be so pretentious?

So when Qiao Lili talked about this with the head of the village, he knocked the pipe on the sole of his shoe and agreed readily.

Qiao Lili told Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin to take good care of Caiqi and Caixing. The two wanted to follow Qiao Lili but their horses couldn't keep up, which was really a dilemma. Qiao Lili told them not to worry, both sides had pigeons for communication, and they could contact each other at any time if the plan changed.

When he came, he brought a cage of pigeons, which would deliver messages to Concubine Yun every day, so Aunt Yun shouldn't be too worried.

Yu Jingyan couldn't go back for the time being. How to build the Douzha on Ganjiang River, how to build the dam leading to Dawang Lake (Huaijiang Beach), the location of the gate on the weir, and who would give the money, these crucial issues all required Yu Jingyan to personally participate and solve one by one. In addition, the rainy season has not yet passed, and there is a high possibility that there will be another rain that will test the dam.

However, there is still time to leave for a few days to send Qiao Lili back to Beijing.

Let her come alone when she comes, and he must send her back when she leaves.

After seeing off the six people who kept looking back every few steps, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan went up to the dike again and started their inspection from the Panshi Mountain section, heading downstream. There was still one person patrolling every ten or so meters on the dike, and the officials were also scattered everywhere. But after just a few days, the Gan River had changed its appearance.

The water flow is still strong and turbulent, but the water level has dropped a lot. From the traces on the embankment, we can see that it has dropped about 6 to 7 feet compared to the highest line. If the Gan River in those days was a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws ready to eat people at any time, then the Gan River now is a cute and fierce little beast that occasionally acts cute.

From Rock Mountain to the flood discharge outlet, the people I met along the way looked much better. Officials would salute Yu Jingyan and Qiao Lili. You have to know that they didn't care about these etiquettes in those days. They just discussed what to do when they met. The people also followed suit. The Sixth Prince and the Princess were really beautiful. In the rain and mud those days, they were both dripping with water and their appearances could not be seen clearly.

The two of them now rode on two horses, one white and one black, with the same high-tied hair, the same dark clothes, and the same immortal appearance. It seemed that they could join the immortal class at any time when the immortal music sounded.

According to the officials, there was no future princess consort for the Sixth Prince, only the princess consort. Ordinary people who didn't know would have thought that they had already been married.

The officials thought that such a capable and blessed princess must be confirmed by His Highness, and not be allowed to fly away. Therefore, they kept talking about the princess, and that was a basic operation.

The water of Gan River still flows continuously into Dawang Lake from the flood discharge outlet. There are more guards here. When they see Yu Jingyan and Qiao Lili coming, they are also here to pay homage to the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Prince's Consort. Although Qiao Lili is still dressed as a man, and although their engagement is only a small engagement, who cares about you? Anyway, we all recognize this Sixth Prince's Consort.

Well, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly. He is simply pretending to be confused even though he knows the truth. It's strange that he can explain himself clearly.

I went to Dawang Lake again to check the water flow at the weir. There were people on duty here with flares, which were ready to be fired at any time if there was any situation. However, the water flow here was really stable. It flowed over the weir and reached the Huaijiang River next door, and then flowed happily downstream.

"Can we walk down the Huai River?" Qiao Lili asked. The Huai River flows eastward into the sea under the restraint of two natural levees, Huaijiang Ridge and Qinjiang Ridge. This is all marked on the map and heard from people, but not seen with her own eyes. Qiao Lili wants to see it with her own eyes.

"Of course you can. That's exactly what I want." Yu Jingyan has always had this idea. There is no road here, and they need to cross mountains and ridges. Although the mountains are not high, ordinary horses definitely cannot do that. But their horses are invisible and traceless, so they can go wherever they want.

Yu Jingyan spoke a few words to the official on duty at the weir, basically telling him that if he couldn't come back tonight, there was no need to worry, as the mountain road must be difficult to travel on. He didn't want the princess to travel with him at night, so he stayed at the inn.

If Kuai Lai were to worry about his safety, he would mobilize the secret guards to look for him, but there was no need to worry.

After the instructions were given, the two men crossed Huaijiang Ridge. Between Huaijiang Ridge and Huaijiang River, there was a mountain road used by people collecting herbs and hunting. Although it was rugged, it was not steep, just a little tilted, and people riding horses always leaned towards the Huaijiang side.

The further they walked, the more at ease they felt, because the Huai River flows in the valley between two mountain ranges. Even the lowest part of the mountain range is not comparable to the height of a dam. With this height and width, ten Gan Rivers can accommodate it.

At dusk, the two watched the sunset on Huaijiang Ridge. Huaijiang River flowed into the sea about ten miles ahead, and the two mountain ranges turned into rugged rocks on the seashore.

The top of this peak was relatively flat. The two men sat side by side on the grass with scattered flowers. The two horses were leisurely nibbling on the grass leaves. The setting sun slowly fell under the Qinjiang Ridge. The fairy who was guarding the West Heaven today was rather perfunctory and just casually threw out a few wisps of scarlet veil.

The sun sets in the west, and lovers are watching the sunset glow beside each other, with insects chirping in the breeze, and green trees and yellow flowers. What else is there to hesitate about?

The two figures slowly came together, and the moment their lips touched, the silhouette was extremely beautiful.

Wuzong and Wuying raised their heads and looked at the two people in confusion. What kind of martial arts was this?
