Come on, Your Highness

The team is still moving forward quickly.

After getting on the official road, I felt that the road under my feet was much smoother.

"This official way is well cultivated." Lu Feng praised casually.

Wang Shizhu nodded and said, "Yes, it was built by the Lu family."

"Building bridges and paving roads is a good deed."

Wang Shizhu was hiding something in his heart, and he looked behind from time to time, but His Royal Highness and the young man got into the carriage and never got off, and he didn't know if he planned to change his mind.

Hearing Lu Feng's praise, he felt even more uncertain.

"I said, why do you work under Huo County Magistrate with your face full of troubles?" Lu Feng squinted over and said meaningfully.

"The young ones just keep their heads down and do things, regardless of other things."

"Oh? Then why did you just say it this time?"

"That son..."

"Master He? He is the number one scholar in this discipline."

Wang Shizhu exclaimed: "It turns out that he is really that Wenqu star descending to earth!"

"what?"

The uneasiness on Wang Shizhu's face disappeared immediately, and his eyes became firm, "He is a god in the sky, and he will never watch the people here suffer!" When he said this, his dark cheeks were slightly red, and he murmured, "No wonder she looks so good-looking, all the gods in the sky are good-looking."

"..." Lu Feng felt that his own expression at this moment must be indescribable.

Shouldn't ordinary people pin their hopes on His Royal Highness?

That's the Lu family, if you don't take advantage of the power of the King of England, the number one scholar in the district can't be shaken at all!

Since the Empress Dowager passed away and the Emperor ascended the throne, the Lu family retreated bravely, left the center of the imperial court neatly, and returned the power to the Emperor, leaving only some idle officials outside.

It can be said to be quite witty and sensible.

At that time, the emperor was young and vigorous, and the first thing to do was to take over the power. With the Lu family taking the lead, the rest would be much easier.Naturally, the emperor reciprocated and treated the Lu family generously and preferentially.Now the head of the Lu family is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and he has the title of Marquis of Cheng En, which can be inherited for three generations, and all the children of the Lu family can take the road of Mengyin when they go out to become officials.

Based on the emperor's attitude towards the Lu family, even if he took Mengyin, he could easily reach a high position, but the Lu family didn't, as all his children passed the imperial examinations.

It looks straight-forward, but it is most in line with the emperor's wishes.

This kind of Lu family said that even the King of England can't use their power to overwhelm others. After Lu Feng figured it out, he was actually very worried.

However, Wang Shizhu felt relieved because of He Xichao.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but looking at his expression, the silly boy touched the water bag that He Xichao gave him with special care. Lu Feng felt it necessary to remind him: "You'd better put the water on your face. Put away the stupid smile, if His Highness sees it, it doesn't matter whether he will clean up the Lu family or not, he will definitely clean up you first."

"What?"

"Jealousy drives people crazy." Lu Feng said as he pinched the horse's belly and ran ahead.

Xiao Hong and the others spared a long way and went directly to the downstream.

And until he got off the car, Xiao Hong didn't think of a good solution.

"Your Highness, here we are. The carriage in front cannot pass, so we have to walk over." Xiao Dunzi reported from outside the carriage.

Xiao Hong ignored him, but held his head and called out distressedly: "Xi Chao..."

"Ok?"

"I'm so embarrassed!"

"It's quite embarrassing. They have been silent all the way and haven't answered me yet."

The official road was flat, although he was on his way, he didn't gallop like he did to escape the heavy rain yesterday, and He Xichao didn't suffer that much.

Seeing Xiao Hong's tangled appearance, he was even more unwilling to show the irritability and discomfort in his heart.

"Xi Chao, can you stroke it for me?" Xiao Hong felt that he couldn't think of any good solution with his brain.

"Okay. But it's not the time. We're waiting outside now. Let's go to the dam to have a look. After we get back and settle down, we can sit down and sort out our thoughts."

Magistrate Huo was not there, but Magistrate Lu was already waiting nearby.

Seeing Xiao Hong and He Xichao got off the carriage, he hurried over to greet him and said, "Your Highness, Mr. He, it's been a hard journey."

It was hard for the gray-haired old man to follow him back and forth, but when he thought that the two county magistrates might conspire to deceive him, Xiao Hong lost all good looks.

However, the weather was too hot, and it was impossible to look good if you were not feeling well. Magistrate Lu didn't think much about it, but just wiped his sweat and smiled and led the way.

This place is not far from the edge of the Songjiang River. You can hear the hidden turbulent sound of the surging river, and it seems that it can go crazy anytime and anywhere.

The fields near the river should be the most fertile, nourished by water and soil. With the climate in the east of the river, rice can be harvested twice a year. As long as the exploitation is not serious, it is not difficult to feed the farmers.

But now the barren grass can be as tall as a person, but there is not a grain of rice. If you look around, you can see a faint hut not far away, but when you look closely, it is already a deserted and empty house.

People don't know whether they are gone or gone.

Encountering such a depressed scene, combined with the golden rice fields in Luozi County on the road when we came here, comparing the two sides, it is shocking and desolate.

No one spoke on the road, and they all felt heavy in their hearts.

"Last year, the floods were so severe that they all ran away and refused to come back, so the fields were abandoned..."

Lu County Magistrate's dry explanation did not ease the tension, but made people feel that he was even more incompetent.

These are the people under his rule.

The scholar and the son got out of the car one by one and followed.

The road here is small and full of potholes, and it is difficult for them to walk if they are not careful.

"I said, old man, this grass can grow like this in a year. I don't study much, so don't lie to me. At least it will take three to five years!"

"The sediment has accumulated, and some of them have formed hard lumps, which cannot be formed overnight, County Magistrate Lu, what you said is wrong."

"I don't think this place is going to get better. The grass keeps growing, and no one cares about it. Is there no one around for a few miles?"

"It's a good place, it's a pity to waste it like this."

The scholar and the dandy didn't sleep well, and continued on their way, with resentment in their hearts. The two sides talked to each other, which made the forehead of Lu county magistrate sweat even more, and with deep wrinkles, he looked a little pitiful.

Xiao Hong held He Xichao's hand subconsciously. He walked quite smoothly as a martial arts practitioner, but it was enough to put him on a scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken.

"My lord, calm down, calm down." Magistrate Lu kept nodding his head and bowing his head, but he didn't explain, which made people feel even more upset.

Suddenly he staggered and tripped over a protruding stone, his body suddenly became unstable...

"Hey--"

If the old man just fell like this, he estimated that a handful of old bones would fall apart.

Xiao Hong was right behind him, and wanted to stretch out his hand, but someone in front was faster, and Wang Shizhu firmly supported the magistrate Lu.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Hong was about to go over, but was pulled by He Xichao, he stopped, turned around suspiciously, but saw He Xichao pouted slightly, motioning him to take a closer look.

"grown ups……"

I saw Wang Shizhu's eyes were worried, and his hands were tightly supporting the county magistrate Lu.

County magistrate Lu took a deep breath, shook his head at Wang Shizhu, then raised his hand to pat the hand on his arm, and smiled gently, as if signaling not to worry.

That look is really kind, looks like a kind old man.

Xiao Hong rubbed his chin wondering, why does this old man look so innocent in front of him?

"Xi Chao..."

He Xichao gave a "shh" and said, "Hurry up."

Xiao Hong thought about it, then raised his volume, and asked impatiently: "Magistrate Lu, aren't you in a hurry, should you go?"

As soon as Xiao Hong said these words, he immediately received a pair of eyes that could not contain his dissatisfaction. Xiao Hong looked over, but saw Wang Shizhu was hurriedly suppressed by the county magistrate Lu, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

County Magistrate Lu nodded and bowed his waist and said, "Let's go now, Your Highness, forgive me, it's really the old officials who are so incompetent that they hindered me."

"It's quite old."

Now County Magistrate Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet, under the gaze of Xiao Hong and the others, he turned his head and stared back at the following crime that Wang Shizhu was about to reveal.

With a smile on his face, He Xi gave the old county magistrate a meaningful look, and said to Wang Shizhu, "Brother Wang, help Master Lu to go, and don't let him fall."

"Yes." The voice should be loud.

He Xichao also got a grateful look.

County Magistrate Lu had no choice but to sigh secretly, and this time he did not refuse, and let Wang Shizhu help him go.

The further back the road is, the more difficult it is to walk. There are few people, and the road that should have been has been overgrown with weeds.

However, it can still be seen that someone came to rest early and barely made a way for others to walk.

And the water of Songjiang also appeared before their eyes.

"From here up, it takes about two miles to arrive." Lord Lu apologized to Xiao Hong, "Your Highness, the road ahead is even more difficult, and you will not be able to get up if you are like an official. These poor men are all Masters, let them take you up, Shi Zhu, and you go too."

"My lord, I'll stay here. In case something happens, I can take care of you." A chauffeur who looked like a leader said.

Lord Lu was about to nod his head, Xiao Hong said: "What are you doing here? The king's guards still need you here? All of you are strong and strong to lead the way for this king. It will be useful when you get there, not here. Lazy and slippery!"

After Xiao Hong drank like this, Master Lu didn't dare to say anything more, and the poor man also shrank his neck and made no sound.

Xiao Hong then turned around and said: "Xi Chao, you, the scholars behind and those four stay here, and I will take the masters up."

He Xichao has a precise understanding of his physical fitness, such physical work is really not suitable for him, and it can only drag others down.

"Okay, leave a team of guards for me, and the rest of the elite... Lu Feng, you take it with you and follow His Highness, be careful." He looked up at the sky, and at some point the scorching sun had disappeared, and the clouds were gathering. Hou, "Come back early after watching, the thunderstorm is coming soon."

"I know, why don't you go back first..." Xiao Hong stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, and just said, "Wait for me to come back."

He left a few more people to come down, and he took a long leg and followed up easily.

The ground under their feet is not so much a road, but more like a piece of unevenly stacked stones stepped on, which can barely be regarded as a foothold.

The body is not good enough, and I can't even walk.

He Xichao watched Xiao Hong leave, and with one glance, County Magistrate Lu was sitting on a rock with tired feet, silently watching that nimble figure, as if in a daze.

He smiled slightly, walked over and said casually: "Does His Royal Highness look different from what you imagined?"

Master Lu suddenly turned his head, and then hurriedly got up, but was held down by He Xichao, "There is no one else, why bother with this red tape, sir, it looks really tiring."

As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Lu accepted his cautiousness, and for the first time carefully sized He Xichao with his old eyes.

The youngest and legendary No. [-] scholar in history, his name is louder than the eldest prince who was deprived of the crown prince and regained the favor of the emperor.

Not only among scholars, but also among ordinary people, it is often mentioned.

I don't know where and who put forward the statement that Wenqu Xing descended to earth, but it was rare that no one refuted it, and it was immediately accepted and widely circulated.

The 15-year-old No. [-] scholar, what is it if not Wenquxing?

There are many gods born, but very few descend to the earth to become human. What He Xichao doesn't know is that although not many people have seen him, he has been worshiped by many people, and there are even god statues enshrined.

All gods are good-looking, but He Xichao's life is indeed unusual.

County magistrate Lu looked at him, thinking that it was no wonder Wang Shizhu believed in him.

"Lord Lu, is there something on your lower face?"

Lord Lu smiled and said: "The road to the embankment is rugged and dangerous, and His Royal Highness the King of England is a rich man, so Lord He is not worried at all."

"Soldiers who take the lead can often become victorious generals, and their names will last forever. But the incompetent people who only hide behind soldiers will only be reviled and worthless even if they die."

When He Xichao met Xiao Hong for the first time, the first request he asked him was to learn to be responsible.

He Xichao looked up high, without the burden from the rear, whether it was the guards or Xiao Hong, they all walked very quickly, and disappeared after a huge boulder.

"Alas...it's not easy!" Master Lu sighed deeply, as if vomiting out the melancholy that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

"You seem to be looking forward to it for a long time?"

Hearing He Xichao's change of address, the smile lines on Lord Lu's face suddenly deepened, but he didn't speak any more.

The dandies are playing with weeds in boredom, while the scholars are holding out their papers, looking for a few stones to sit on, and are eagerly discussing the topic.

As for the clouds that were accumulating overhead, no one dared to suggest finding a place to shelter from the rain before Xiao Hong came back.

He Xichao glanced at Fuguo Gongzi Zhu Gongzi, then walked over.

Mr. Zhu threw the weeds, "Sir?"

He Xichao nodded, and suddenly he stopped, and said to him: "I seem to have seen some wild ducks on the way here, if you are bored of waiting, you might as well look for them, and you can add some game later."

Young Master Zhu looked at the serious He Xichao with a dazed expression, "Here?"

"Yeah, I really saw it." He Xichao patted his shoulder casually, ran down his arm, and straightened his sleeve.

Mr. Zhu was feeling strange when he suddenly felt a piece of paper stuffed into his hand, and his eyes widened instantly.

He Xichao smiled and waved his hand in disgust, "Go, come back earlier."

After Mr. Zhu froze, he suddenly felt the blood in his whole body boil, and he always felt that the note in his hand could weigh a thousand catties.

This is going to happen!

He pinched the note, feeling a little excited. He had never been scolded for being unlearned and incapable of doing anything, so he knew that he, who had harmed his family, still had a moment to take on important responsibilities!

He hurried back to his group, called the other three over, and said loudly: "Staying here is boring, let's go catch wild ducks, anyway, His Highness won't be coming back anytime soon."

The voice was too loud, and the scholars who were still discussing immediately stopped talking and looked at him like a fool, and then they were disgusted.

Even County Magistrate Lu looked over in surprise.

When Xiao Hong was still on the dam and it was about to rain, these young masters were still in the mood to hunt wild ducks!

"It doesn't matter what you're looking at, whether you're just waiting or not." Mr. Zhu stared back confidently.

Everyone couldn't help shaking their heads: No matter how the dandy changes, he still doesn't learn well.

The other three Feng Weizheng also looked puzzled, "Brother Zhu, why are you catching wild ducks at this time?"

Mr. Zhu ignored him, but excitedly pulled out the note and opened it, but was dumbfounded.

what is this?

Three heads stretched out, also with inexplicable expressions.

A few words were mentioned in the note: heavy rain, water potential, dam, victims, county magistrate, year and month.

What do you mean?

The four of you look at me and I look at you, completely confused.

"Brother Zhu, where did this come from?"

Young Master Zhu pouted at He Xichao, who was sitting quietly on a rock with his eyes closed, while Xiao Xuanzi and Ah Fu stood beside him, one holding an umbrella, the other holding a handkerchief and water bag, waiting for him.

No way?The three of them gestured with their eyes.

Mr. Zhu nodded, it was him.

This is too inexplicable, no matter how you look at it, charades should come with them!

Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said, "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Look for scholars, they always know."

Several scholars read the note, suddenly smiled wryly, and then whispered.

You Ziqing asked: "What did the master ask you to do?"

Mr. Zhu said: "Catch wild ducks and hunt wild game."

"This……"

"What do you mean sir?"

"I don't even know where I am, so I have to walk around?" Shu Yu said.

"Yes, are you looking for something?" Luo Li asked.

"Is there anything I can find in this ghost place, and it has something to do with it?" Fang Jun gave him a white look.

"Do you want to ask someone?" There was a suggestion.

"Ask who?"

"We can't be the only ones in this radius, can we?"

"Is there anyone else?"

"Yes, yes, I seemed to see someone when I came here, in the thatched hut over there."

"It's so far away, are you sure someone is there?"

"Yes, I have good eyesight. After watching for a long time, people will move."

As soon as Mr. Wei finished speaking, all the scholars fell silent.

"What, what's wrong?"

"So I know what Mr. means." You Ziqing smiled slightly.

"What do you mean?" The dandy who was still in a daze asked for an explanation.

"This is to ask us to find those who stayed behind to understand the flood situation?" Fang Jun said.

When He Xichao heard the movement, he couldn't help opening his eyes, seeing the scholars being urged to look for wild ducks by the four dudes, he couldn't help smiling.

On the other side, magistrate Lu was thoughtful.

The author has something to say: Yao: Don't miss it when you pass by, the pen used by Wen Quxing himself, the real champion pen, with this pen, you will be able to write and think like a spring, if you write with spirit, 1000 taels, don't miss it when you pass by!

Xiao Hong: Fart, which pen I have never used before, have you seen that I have written decent articles?

Yao: Oh, that's over, I've been touched by your idiot hand, it must have worked!

Xiao Hong: Get lost, profiteer!
