Spring is thick and thin

It took Wei Kangyu a lot of twists and turns to get Wu Bohou's consent to come to Ancheng.

At such a critical moment, what kind of intentions does a young man from the capital have when he comes to Ancheng, which has been ravaged by floods?The reason Wei Kangyu gave was that he wanted to bring food to relieve the refugees, but this time is definitely not the time for relief—because Wu Bohou knew that the emperor was determined to blow up Ancheng, and the combined population of Ancheng and the surrounding villages was about There are 15 people, and the capital closest to Ancheng is impossible to accommodate these people, and the nearby cities are too far away. These people migrated there, and they would suffer a lot of damage just on the road, and none of the surrounding cities received the emperor's placement. Order.

With a large number of refugees wandering around without a fixed place, there are also diseases and plagues, but until now the emperor has kept silent about how to deal with them.Wu Bohou knew that he couldn't speculate on what he wanted, but the emperor didn't say anything, so he wanted to let those 15 people consume slowly!Wu Bohou is a general who defends the people. He couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to say anything.

As the emperor got old, his temperament changed, becoming more cruel and ruthless.Although on the surface, the emperor still trusted Wu Bohou as always, but Wu Bohou was even more worried, and he never dared to hit the wind at this time.The crown prince is as old as him, and is the half-brother of Princess Ruiyang, so far he has only one child, who is younger than Wei Yayi.Whether it is the prince or other princes, they are not enough in the eyes of Uncle Wu. The princes are all weak and indecisive.

The prince is diligent and diligent, and treats his ministers kindly, but his personality is like Princess Ruiyang's. His mind is too sensitive and sensitive, easy to think too much, his ears are soft, he has no independent opinions, and he doesn't even have one tenth of the emperor's ability.On the contrary, although the prince's child was young, he showed the emperor's methods early on.

The emperor was probably worried that his descendants would not live up to expectations, that the Hui Dynasty would have no hope of succeeding, and his temperament became more and more ruthless. Naturally, he also became jealous of those powerful courtiers, for fear that his descendants would not be able to subdue them.In the past year, Wu Bohou no longer has the feeling of being able to do a job with ease in political affairs before, and the deep water hindered him.If it weren't for the sudden incident in Ancheng, Marquis Wu would have gone to the emperor and asked him to stay in the frontier.

Wu Bohou also wanted to think about his offspring.Although he married the most favored daughter of the emperor, but because of Princess Ruiyang's scandal, there was no in-law relationship between them. On the contrary, this relationship was still their obstacle, so that they had no personal relationship other than the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.Only the relationship between the emperor and the ministers means that the honor and disgrace of the ministers are all tied to the emperor. The emperor who loves him is wise and decisive, and delegates power to him, but now the emperor no longer trusts him, as if he may rush into the palace at any time and rob the emperor. It looks like a dragon chair.

But at this time Wei Kangyu came to look for Wu Bohou, but gave Wu Bohou inspiration.Wu Bohou is quite a traditional person. The king he serves no longer trusts him. He can't do anything except protect himself, but it is not easy to protect himself under the emperor.

So Wu Bohou went to the palace to meet the emperor.Since the emperor decided to blow up the city, such an important matter cannot be handled by ordinary courtiers.This candidate was either deeply trusted by the emperor, or deeply hated by the emperor, otherwise he would not be able to take on the role that everyone criticized.

Everyone who dared to mutter about the emperor behind his back had to be cautious, but there was no such pressure to accuse the man with the knife.Wei Kangyu is neither trusted nor hated by the emperor, but he has a special status, he is the only heir of a courtier who is gradually falling out of favor and fear, borrowing the hand of this young man who has a bad reputation in the capital and is not very old, to say Might not divert people's attention.

At the very least, Wu Bohou thought carefully, his son is actually a very good candidate.Once this matter is over, he will take his son to the frontier, where he will be polished, and leave Mengniang and Wei Yayi in Marquis Wu's mansion.Sure enough, the emperor agreed.

Wei Kangyu didn't know the turbulent undercurrents under the table.He came with the imperial guards, feeling inexplicably nervous and excited in his heart.

……

Jing Yan is not in a good mood.He came for the cows, but the cows were gone, and neither was the man who kept the cows.He Xiu also went to see him. Although Mr. He has been sticking to the front line with his own actions, He Xiu was placed in a very safe place together with the family members of other officials.He came to Ancheng again, which had lost its meaning.

Looking at the tragic flood scene, Jing Yan couldn't even show a smile.But at the same time, he has a sense of alienation, as if he is standing on a high position and looking down.Even though he felt sad seeing such tragic scenes, the strange thing was that he didn't have any urgent desire to change—of course, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it now.Death to him seems to be commonplace, not something to be surprised at. Floods are also natural disasters. Either you meet or he meets. Someone always has to die.

He guessed that he might have been a great big shot, so he couldn't empathize with being a mortal.Maybe he used to live in heaven.But that doesn't excite him, because no matter how great he was, he's on normal ground now, and maybe he was kicked out because he made a mistake?Since he doesn't have any memory and can't understand himself, then no matter how much he thinks about it, he won't be able to figure it out. Jing Yan doesn't worry about it.

Hearing the news from Su Qin that Wei Kangyu was coming, Jing Yan was slightly surprised, but didn't plan to look for him.He somewhat misses Wei Kangyu, but Wei Kangyu more often represents trouble.Su Qin often used voice transmission to communicate with his subordinates, and Jing Yan had already planned that when he knew Wei Kangyu was coming, he would find a place to hide from him.

If Jing Yan hadn't planned to go back to Jianghu with Su Qin, he would have gone back a long time ago.He only needs to think about the way he and the dumb slave travel, and then think about the way others travel, and he thinks it's okay to wait here for a few days.He also seriously thought about whether he should raise a chef himself and take it with him.However, to live like Su Qin, it is not enough to just have a chef, and you need a lot of supporting facilities. If you can't afford it, you might as well not have it.

Su Qin is also very busy these days.He didn't take out food relief. In his words, there are a lot of people who can eat outside now, but food is second, and the main people have to survive first.He didn't know if he had prepared in advance, got a lot of medicinal materials, boiled some anti-epidemic and anti-inflammatory medicinal soup for the refugees to drink, and brought a lot of gauze and medicinal powder for simple treatment of the injured refugees.These things are not done by him, but by a group of dedicated people. Su Qin has gained a good reputation among the refugees by walking around in white clothes all day long.

The court has not opened a warehouse to release grain, but it does not mean that there is no private assistance.Some people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes also came to do some rescue work.As the flood in Ancheng became more and more severe, and the sound of water could be faintly heard at the gate of the capital, everyone knew that blowing up Ancheng was inevitable.

After Wei Kangyu arrived, the professionals pointed out the location where the explosives had been measured in advance.This is the calculated optimal location, enough to level the high west side of Ancheng, and the flood will flow along the west side, and a new river will naturally rush out and flow into the Zimu River in the west, while the capital located in the east of Ancheng , naturally free from flood worries.

Wei Kangyu's consideration of all kinds of future events that will arise at this time is not in his mind.He just did what he was supposed to do.The dynamite of the Hui Dynasty was a gift from the alchemists of the previous dynasty who made alchemy. The emperor of the previous dynasty realized the importance of dynamite when it came out. After urging the alchemists to study it, they finally came up with stable results.However, the results are somewhat unsatisfactory, which makes people feel that using it is not as good as using people, so although this recipe is not a secret, it has been leaked by many parties, and very few people use it.

This is because the cost of refining explosives is very high. Alchemists used gold and silver when they practiced alchemy, and they got it by chance, but they didn't know why. Later research also found that there is no gold and silver. The performance of explosives It is very unstable, and many lives were lost for the experiment, so the cost of refining explosives is very high, but even if a large sum of money is spent, the refined explosives still burn like rough stones The color is red, and the smell is choking to the nose and nose from a long distance, and once ignited, the explosives will detonate quickly, leaving no time for people to react.

It is precisely because of the shortcomings of explosives that are difficult to improve, as well as the power of explosives, the production of explosives is also strictly restricted. Private storage of explosives is not allowed in the capital. The ones that Wei Kangyu brought are still in the outskirts of the capital. Explosives stored in the equipment warehouse.Along with the explosives, there are also dead soldiers trained in the equipment storehouse. The dead soldiers have only learned one thing, and that is to ignite explosives.

When a large number of explosives are ignited together, the person who ignited the explosives cannot escape, so this kind of thing will definitely involve human life.Since the establishment of the Hui Dynasty, the dead soldiers trained were often 40 years old and had never been exposed to real explosives. They were killed by people in the equipment store because of old age and frailty.The dead man who followed this time was only in his 20s, and his eyes couldn't hide the disbelief and horror, probably because he always thought he could live to forty, but he didn't expect that under one order, he could only go to his own destiny road.

The vicinity of the explosive site on the west side of Anseong has been cleared.The soldiers escorted and monitored the dead men to the ignition point and retreated.To prevent accidents, Wei Kangyu did not follow.He was absent-minded, and only put on a cautious look on his face to cover up.

At this time, there was no one alive in Ancheng.Those people who knew that the general situation was settled and had no room to refute had all evacuated Ancheng with the help of soldiers. As for those who stuck to the city, they would not have survived today.A quarter of an hour later, Wei Kangyu looked at Ancheng who hadn't moved after the burning, so he couldn't help but get serious, and motioned the soldiers to take a look inside.

The soldier was full of reluctance, for fear that the explosives would take effect as soon as he walked in.He walked in slowly, and saw that the dead man was still standing there, shaking all over, holding a flint in his hand, and he hadn't ignited the fuse until now.

The soldier yelled, "Hey—"

He just wanted to urge the dead soldier, of course not to let him ignite immediately, at least give him time to evacuate.But the novice soldier who had suffered for a long time could not understand this.As soon as he was urged, the feeling of suffocation in his heart was magnified thousands of times, and he couldn't help but put on a crazy smile on his face, dying early—early—surviving!He clicked the fuse with a flint.The lead wire was so short that it burned out as soon as it caught fire.

The soldier didn't have time to change any thoughts in his mind, and he became the only funeral object of the dead in Ancheng.

Although the point of ignition was in the west of the city, the explosives almost penetrated the entire city, but the amount of release in different places was different.Standing far away, Wei Kangyu and the officials in Ancheng finally heard the series of rumbling sounds that almost blew their ears off.

Ancheng gradually collapsed.The speed at which it collapsed was not fast, but it was very resolute, showing a helpless and obedient attitude, and slowly stepped over.The houses, which were not strong enough, fell in a series and fell into the water, so the sound was muffled.As the houses collapsed and formed a siege, the powerful flood was also forced to change its direction and flow towards the west reluctantly.

Everyone in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.Regardless of whether the water can flow into the Zimu River, the capital is out of crisis anyway.Only when the capital is not crossed can they have the energy to appease the refugees.

At this point, Wei Kangyu's mission is over, and the next thing is out of his control.When will Ancheng be cleaned up, whether the cleared area can still be inhabited, and where the large number of migrating refugees will go, these have nothing to do with him, but he just doesn't want to leave.He did such a thing when he first came here, and he didn't feel any emotion in his heart, but he felt a lot of sadness because of other things.But the reality didn't give him a chance to struggle, and he didn't even look for it. The soldiers who came with him urged him to return to the capital to return.

As soon as he turned around, a gleaming arrow suddenly shot towards him. The speed of the arrow was as fast as lightning, and it carried an indomitable momentum.The soldiers standing beside him were also soldiers sent by Marquis Wu. Subconsciously, they wanted to stand in front of Wei Kangyu to block, but the arrow was too fast, and he was too late!

The soldier felt cold, but Wei Kangyu reacted quickly. He lowered his waist to an incredible angle and avoided the arrow. The colleague drew out the soft sword hidden in his waist, and walked in the direction of the arrow without dodging or avoiding it. .

He was suffocating anger in his heart, but he also possessed high martial arts skills, like a newborn calf without fear.Originally wanted to hide from a distance, but Jing Yan, who was actually standing nearby and paying attention secretly, sighed, thinking that Wei Kangyu is really a stunned young man, so actively looking for death.Jing Yan couldn't let Wei Kangyu die in front of his eyes, since Su Qin wasn't around anyway, he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the quiver.

Seeing that Wei Kangyu had come forward on his own initiative, the assassin sent by Su Qin couldn't help but sneered and shot another arrow.But the action without thinking, but there was a stagnation after the arrow was shot. An assassin who was familiar with arrows was like a lover, and he clearly felt that the arrow he shot had changed.Sure enough, the arrow was shot halfway, and the direction was crooked.The assassin took out all the arrows, and just held them around in his hands, and he knew that the branches of the arrows had undergone imperceptible changes.All of his kung fu is in this bow and arrow, and the rest is good at light kung fu.Facing Wei Kangyu, who was aggressive and waving the fan of everyone in the software, he turned around decisively and ran away.

Wei Kangyu lost the assassin within a few steps of chasing him, and he no longer wanted to pursue him. Instead, he tore off the cloth from his clothes, and wrapped it around the arrow he had dodged before to observe.Wei Kangyu is also very familiar with bows and arrows. After all, bows and arrows are commonly used on the battlefield. Wei Kangyu has systematically learned about arrow bodies made of different woods and arrows made of different materials.

He observed the arrow. The body of the arrow was made of birch, and the arrowhead was made of iron. The color on the arrowhead was abnormal, which meant that the arrow was poisonous, and the doctor had to have a look.Arrow feathers are the tail hairs of roc birds. These are the most common materials for making arrows, and there is nothing unique about them.

Although Wei Kangyu has just experienced the first assassination in his life, but this assassination is tiger-headed and tiger-tailed, the arrow at the beginning was so powerful, but when he chased after him, the second arrow shot crookedly, the quality of the assassin is really not good What, he ran away because he shot a crooked arrow?Wei Kangyu was not frightened at all, so he took the arrow and set off on his way home.

Wei Kangyu had just returned to the capital, and before he entered his home, he was taken away by Wu Bohouti together with the arrow. The storm in Ancheng after the bombing had nothing to do with him, so he hurriedly set foot on the road to the frontier— —He will take an important step in his life there, but before this step, he still has infinite regrets in his heart.

……

Wei Kangyu came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He only stayed in Ancheng for three hours in total.Jing Yan wanted to hide at first, but he still didn't leave. He took the dumb slave to hide and watch him - he wanted to see how Ancheng was blown up.

Dumb slave had always thought that the young master of the Hou family who could play with Jing Yan and take good care of Jing Yan was a good person with a good personality, but only after this meeting did he find that this person was completely different from what he had imagined.The appearance is good, but there is a sternness hidden in this beautiful face, it is difficult to get along with, and he looks very domineering, so the dumb slave can't help feeling malicious towards Wei Kangyu in his heart.

Jing Yan didn't know what was going on in his mind.Seeing the effect of the explosives, he was very surprised and felt sorry for ruining Su Qin's plan.That's right, although Su Qin wanted to kill Wei Kangyu, he still felt sorry for ruining Su Qin's plan.

Wei Kangyu had known him for so long, of course Jing Yan couldn't watch him die; of course he felt sorry for Su Qin's destruction of what he wanted to do.These two things were completely separated in Jing Yan's mind, he didn't connect this matter with "a friend wanted to kill his other friend", so he wasn't angry with Su Qin.

He stopped this time, so what about where he can't see?Jing Yan couldn't think about such a far-reaching question.
