Xie Ce brought back the seriously injured Cao Jingqiu and the distraught Li Manizi back to Qinyang City, both with big heads.

On weekdays, Cao Jingqiu and Li Mangzi supported him, and Xie Ce almost never intervened in military affairs or government affairs, so he just issued orders and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, waiting for the two to implement them for him.Both of these two are vigorous and decisive, and each time Xie Ce's explanations are properly arranged.

Now his left arm and right arm were paralyzed, Cao Jingqiu was seriously injured and stimulated, he lay down all day and refused to see anyone; Li Manzi stayed outside Cao Jingqiu's courtyard every day, apparently planning to stand himself as a stone to watch his wife.

Xie Ce is very busy every day, all the things are on his head, and he has to deal with the affairs of the King of Dongliang.

Although the king of Dongliang was captured, he still had several generals under his command, and they were not vegetarians.Xie Ce used both soft and hard methods, threatening him with the letter of surrender from the King of Dongliang;

In addition, he secretly bribed the people who wanted to surrender, killed the chickens to make an example of the monkeys, and killed a few stubborn people who resisted to the end, and then stumbled and brought the army of Longxia under his command.

Now Xiliang Hou and Dongliang King's territory and troops all belong to Xie Ce. Without the help of Li Manzi and Cao Jingqiu, Xie Ce is either spending time in the barracks or arguing with officials big and small in government affairs. Over the past month, the whole person has lost weight and darkened a lot.

One day he received a letter from Fatty Wang, saying that Deaf Chen had come to Qinyang City to look for him.Although Chen Deafzi locked himself in the cottage and couldn't come out, he still sent people to inquire about Xie Ce's news.

When he learned that Xie Ce had taken over the territory and army of King Dongliang, and lost the help of Li Manzi and Cao Jingqiu, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, still feeling sorry for the little bastard.

But a proud person like Chen Deaf couldn't hold back his face and befriend Xie Ce, so he didn't tell Xie Ce, and went down the mountain to find him.

Although Chen Deaf is deaf, he is a good leader in leading soldiers.Although the Dongliang King's troops were taken under Xie Ce's command, in order to ensure that they would not defect collectively, the arrangement had to be disrupted, and the previously fixed generals and soldiers had to be replaced.

Not only do they need to replace the soldiers of the King of Dongliang, but they also need to take some of their generals to lead the soldiers over there.In short, Xie Ce now has nearly 80 people, and the adaptation is a huge project. In addition to a lot of things such as epidemic management, it really needs someone to help Xie Ce carry it out.

When Deaf Chen arrived at Xilianghou's mansion, Xie Ce respectfully greeted him outside the gate of the mansion, and then humbly welcomed him into the mansion.Xie Ce introduced Chen Deaf to the generals and officials, referred to Chen as "General Chen", and called General Chen his benefactor, which gave Chen Deaf enough face.

Chen Deaf's face, which had been as black as the bottom of a pot since seeing Xie Ce, eased up a bit, and he and Xie Ce performed a "three requests and three rejections" in front of everyone, and finally accepted it "reluctantly". Xie Ce's bestowal was justifiably given to Xie Ce to manage military and government affairs.

It was now the summer of the second year, and Xie Ce hadn't seen Wei Nan for more than half a year, and he was really in love with Wei Nan.No one helped him before, and he couldn't let go of important military and political affairs. Now that he had Chen Deaf, he wanted to see Wei Nan and send him the map of hundreds of officials by the way.He had already told his subordinates that no one was allowed to mention Wei Nan in front of Chen Deaf, and he himself kept it from Chen Deaf, only saying that he would go to the capital to see his master.

He activated Nie Rulan's re-established contact point in the capital, and learned that Wei Nan left Beijing two months ago and went to the southwestern border.

There has been a lot of rain this summer, especially in the southwest area. The heavy rain for several days has caused the water level of the Jinjiang River to skyrocket.The rare torrential rain in ten years directly broke the fragile river channel of Jinjiang River, flooding the entire Cangshan County into a vast ocean.

The prefect of Cangshan County is Lian Ruoqian, the son of Lian Shipei. He was kidnapped by Pei Chong to blackmail Lian Shipei, and he fell seriously ill after being released.From then on, he was sent by Lian Shipei to be an official in Cangshan County, which is far away from the capital. He started as a county magistrate, and gradually reached the current position of county magistrate.

Lian Ruoqian is a low-key person who doesn't like ostentation, and has done many useful things for the people of Cangshan County.He was well aware of the dangers of the floods in the Jinjiang River, so he asked the imperial court for money to repair the embankment in a letter.Lian Ruoqian could only organize people to repair the embankment in advance every year, but due to the lack of manpower, material and financial resources, the Jinjiang embankment has not been completely repaired.

Xie Ce guessed that Wei Nan's trip might be because of the flood in Cangshan County and Lian Ruoqian, so he went to Cangshan County without stopping.

As soon as Xie Ce arrived in Cangshan County, he saw that the flood had flooded Cangshan County into a vast ocean. As far as he could see, there was devastation everywhere, all refugees fleeing famine.Fortunately, Cangshan County is a hilly area. Although the houses in the low-lying areas are all flooded, the people can still flee to the high-lying areas.

Xie Ce guessed that Wei Nan might have Lian Ruoqian's idea. If he wants to win Lian Shipei, he has to start with Lian Shipei's son.Xie Ce spent a lot of money to hire a boat. On the grounds of finding people, he asked all the way for the location of the county guard's office, then abandoned the boat, changed into a suit of clothes and mixed in with the common people, secretly looking for clues about Wei Nan.

Lian Ruoqian has been a county guard in Cangshan County for many years, and already has very rich experience in dealing with waterlogging.When the flood season comes, he mobilizes the people to move to the mountains in advance, otherwise this year's floods, do not know how many people will die.He sent people to set up porridge sheds in every highland in Cangshan County, and there were big private households and good people and people from the government to maintain order there.

At this time, accompanied by his master, Lian Ruoqian walked on the muddy mountain path to the next soup kitchen.Today, he heard from the people below that the food reserve was about to run out, so he was very anxious and wanted to see the situation on the spot.

Although Lian Shipei is a general, his son is a weak scholar. In addition to his poor health, he has been working hard in recent years. Although he is only in his 30s, his beard and hair look half gray.

"My lord, King Ming has been inspecting the soup kitchens these few days, do you want to go with him?" The master was younger than Lian Ruoqian, and he was strong, so he helped Lian Ruoqian to go.

"No need, the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court have never been like this. They turned their heads and left. There is no one who really understands the people's sentiments. Let Ming Wang go on his own." Lian Ruoqian walked cautiously on the road without raising his head. On the muddy road.

It was time for dinner, and there was already a long queue at the porridge stand.From a distance, Lian Ruoqian saw King Ming standing at the porridge shed, watching the victims receive the gruel in an orderly manner.

"The next official sees King Ming." Although Lian Ruoqian looked down on these imperial envoys in his heart, he was always considerate and courteous in appearance.

"You don't need to be too polite for Lianjun. The porridge is a little thin. Can you order someone to dig some wild vegetables and cook it in? This can also delay a little time." Helping with disaster relief every day, even the people under him were sent to help everywhere, leaving only one person with him.

"What King Ming said is true. But there are too many victims, and the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up long ago, so there are no leftovers." Lian Ruoqian said casually.Although Wei Nan has been doing disaster relief for several days, in Lian Ruoqian's heart, he is still a nobleman who "why not eat minced meat" and doesn't know the sufferings of the world, so he doesn't take him too seriously.

"The wind and waves are coming!" I don't know who exclaimed, and I saw a huge wave coming towards the mountain under the hurricane.

"Hurry up and evacuate up the mountain!" Wei Nan shouted, and quickly asked someone to organize everyone to run up the mountain.Holding a child who fell in a panic in one hand, he organized the victims to evacuate to the mountain.

Lian Ruoqian, a sick man, couldn't run fast, and what was even more tragic was that he even fell down.At this time, everyone was in danger and only cared about escaping for their lives, but no one came to help him in the panic.

As soon as Wei Nan ran a little further, he heard the master exclaim, "Master Lian was swept away by the waves!" Wei Nan was about to hand over the child in his hand to the person next to him, and turned back to rescue Lian Ruoqian without thinking about his own safety.

The wave came fast, and it rushed towards the mountain like an overwhelming sea, and swept away the trees and rocks on the hillside in an instant.Lian Ruoqian kept rolling in the monstrous waves, he felt as if all the bones in his body were broken, being swept by the waves and hitting the branches and stones in it, he lost consciousness for a while.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a cave with a fire burning beside him.His whole body was in severe pain, his clothes were soaked, and there was a serious wound on his head. He vaguely remembered being hit by a stone in the water, but the wound was bandaged up at this moment.

"Hey, are you awake?" A deep male voice sounded, Lian Ruoqian sat up enduring the pain all over his body, and saw a very tall man sitting by the fire, holding something in his hand and roasting it on the fire.

"Thank you sir for saving me." Lian Ruoqian didn't know this person, but he was the governor of the county, and there was no one in Cangshan County who didn't know him.This person is so casual in front of the prefect, obviously he is not a commoner of Cangshan County.

"No, I don't dare to thank you. It was King Ming who jumped into the waves recklessly and rescued you. I just bandaged the wound for you." The man smiled and glanced at Lian Ruoqian, as if a little He didn't take the predicament in front of him to heart.

"Then, where is King Ming? Is he alright?" Lian Ruoqian asked hastily.King Ming is an imperial envoy of the imperial court, Lian Ruoqian must not let him have an accident in Cangshan County, and he is desperate to save himself, Lian Ruoqian is naturally moved.

"It's okay, he went out to see if there is a way out, we seem to be trapped on the top of this mountain." The man said.

"Haven't you asked your sir's name?" Lian Ruoqian raised his hand and saluted the visitor.

"My name is Xie Ce."

Lian Ruoqian was shocked: the person in front of him turned out to be the former prince!Xie Ce is the biggest rebel leader who annexed Xiliang Hou and Dongliang King. He should be busy attacking Zhou at the moment, why did he appear here?

"It turned out to be Mr. Xie." Lian Ruoqian pretended not to know Xie Ce's identity, forced to suppress the surprise in his heart, and said slowly.

"Training the prefect is really a noble person who forgets things. Have you even forgotten what you saw me?" Xie Ce said with a sneer.When Xie Ce was still the crown prince, Lian Ruoqian followed his father into the palace to meet the prince, but Xie Ce was very young at that time, but Lian Ruoqian was already a teenager.
