It rained continuously for several days without stopping.

As soon as Jun Huailang returned to the mansion that day, he went to ask his father.

His father didn't know about the construction period, so he promised him to ask the people below in these two days.Jun Huailang agreed and wanted to withdraw.

Just then, his father stopped him.

"Huai Lang." He said. "The farmland in the southern outskirts has been a bit flooded these days. The magistrate invited me to go and see it together in two days. Do you want to go with me?"

Jun Huailang was silent for a moment, and then heard his father continue: "King Guangling is also going. You two have always been on good terms. He is a rare talent for managing the world. You can learn more from him when you go together."

Jun Huailang pursed his lips.

"Forget it, father." After a while, he smiled lightly and said. "It was exhausting all the way, and it was a bit exhausting."

Mr. Yongning was puzzled: "Huh? Do you still have to go to the academy in the next few days?"

Jun Huailang nodded.

Duke Yongning never commented much on the decisions he made, so he hummed and said, "It's good to read more books. Although you can learn real things in the yamen, you need to learn well before you can do it." Another thing."

Jun Huailang nodded in response, then saluted and said goodbye.

Duke Yongning was silent, and added: "Huai Lang, read "The Doctrine of the Mean" more."

Jun Huailang looked up at him.

I heard Duke Yongning say: "As a father, I know that you have a strategy in your heart, but it is always better to be in the middle of everything. Whether you are studying or doing things, don't show yourself in the eyes of others, just be right."

He didn't talk much, so he paused, and then added: "It's enough for a person to have one thing. If there are more, he will be easily broken."

Jun Huailang could understand what he meant.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

His own family background is already the most top-notch.If the others are outstanding, they will be feared.

Because the heavenly family and imperial power are on his head, he is not allowed to climb to a higher place.

Jun Huailang nodded and said, "My son obeys his father's order, please rest assured."

-

In the next few days, Jun Huailang went to the academy every day as he said.

After a few days, it was time for his father to leave for the southern suburbs.

Although the southern suburbs are not close, they can go back and forth within a day.Jun Huailang didn't go to send it off on purpose, and after using the food early in the morning, he held up the umbrella again and went out of the yard.

It has been raining non-stop for the past few days, and it is extremely fierce.Their courtyard was already a little waterlogged, and even the stone pavement that had been raised several floors was full of water.

Walking all the way, Jun Huailang only paid attention to his steps.

At this moment, Fuyi who sent him out called softly: "Master..."

Jun Huailang raised his head when he heard the words, and saw Xue Yan, master and servant, standing at the gate of the courtyard not far away.

Xue Yan stood there quietly, holding an umbrella, watching him silently.

Jun Huailang's breathing stopped for a moment, and the feeling of being breathless from being kissed that day surged up from his chest again.

Jun Huailang's footsteps stopped.

He stopped, and Xue Yan didn't leave, as if he was waiting for him to pass, still standing there.

Jun Huailang took a deep breath.

No matter how much you hide, you can't hide. It's impossible not to see him for the rest of your life.

He lowered his eyes and walked forward slowly.

Xue Yan stood in front of him.

He didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, as if to force him to speak first.

"...My lord." Jun Huailang barely controlled his voice, making his voice sound calm and cold, without emotion or trembling.

Xue Yan hummed.

"Where are you going?" he asked. "Still going to the academy?"

Jun Huailang nodded.

Xue Yan was silent for a moment.

"I'm not here today," he said. "There's no need to hide that far."

Jun Huailang retorted subconsciously: "I'm not..."

What is not, obviously is.

Halfway through his rebuttal, he couldn't continue, and only stopped in the middle of it awkwardly, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Xue Yan didn't make a sound.

After a while, he said, "I'm not coming to look for you, you just stay at home. It's raining so hard, why run around?"

His voice was a little hoarse, even though the sound of the surrounding rain muffled his voice quite a bit, it still made Jun Huailang's ears and heart tremble and burn.

... He really hasn't seen each other for several days.

Under the umbrella, Jun Huailang hardly dared to look up at him.He suppressed the throbbing, and said lightly: "It's not running around, it's just doing nothing, just reading."

As he said that, he wanted to go around Xue Yan.

Xue Yan said again: "...Otherwise, after I come back today, I will move out."

Jun Huailang's footsteps stopped.

He has some contempt for himself.

Hearing Xue Yan's words, his first reaction was to be reluctant.

His hand holding the umbrella tightened, and the meridians on the back of the porcelain white hand gradually rose.

"...No need." He lowered his head, and the oil-paper umbrella blocked his expression. "No matter where the prince is, I must read this book."

After speaking, he walked around Xue Yan with an umbrella and walked straight over.

The blue stone road is not spacious, when he passed by, Xue Yan moved his umbrella to the side to prevent the cold rain from splashing on Jun Huailang's shoulders.

But the cold rain fell on him immediately without any obstruction.

Jun Huailang's hand holding the umbrella trembled again.

He fled and walked away quickly.

But just the sandalwood he smelled the moment he passed by Xue Yan's side was like a tangled silk thread, attached to his heart, tightly wrapping his soul.

It seemed that no matter where he fled, it was useless.

-

There was a thunderbolt outside the window.

It rained especially heavily that day.

Jun Huailang sat in the academy, but he was not at ease, and looked out the window frequently.

He knew that on weekdays, when officials go out to inspect the countryside, in order to travel lightly, they never prepare too many things.

With such a heavy rain, their trip today will definitely not go smoothly.In addition, the official roads outside the city are not smooth, and the country roads are even more difficult to walk. If you are not careful, the ruts will sink into the quagmire, causing a lot of trouble.

Jun Huailang couldn't help worrying.

He was worried that his father was serious in his work and would not go home even if it rained heavily; he was also worried that something would happen to them on the road and they would be trapped outside the city in heavy rain.

He would also miss Xue Yan uncontrollably, and couldn't help but wonder what he was doing at this time and whether he would run into any trouble.

Thinking of this, Jun Huailang involuntarily touched his lips again.

The tiny wound had already healed, and now one could only feel a tiny scab upon touching it.

It didn't hurt much.

That injury was caused by Xue Yan's canine teeth when he was on a rampage.With only a slight pain, the blood was sucked away by him.

After the kiss was over, Xue Yan panted and parted from him, and pecked and kissed the small wound.

"Jun Huailang, if you want to play dumb, forget about it tomorrow." He whispered. "But don't provoke me anymore, I'm not a good person."

Jun Huailang pursed his lips.

At that time, his mind was blank, but now that he thinks about it, he still doesn't believe Xue Yan's words.

He said that he was not a good person, but he would risk his life to save him. He endured it for an unknown amount of time, and he never revealed any feelings for him to let him know.

And even on that night... Although the kiss was fierce, it was lightly tasted, with restraint on the verge of madness.

Would Xue Yan in his previous life really do such a thing...

At this moment, his arm was bumped, which woke him up instantly.

He turned his head and saw Shen Liufeng sitting beside him, looking at him on his stomach.

"Huai Lang, what are you thinking?" He whispered. "Are you also thinking about uncle and the others?"

Jun Huailang froze for a moment, then nodded.

The rain outside the window was loud, pattering on the bamboo leaves, Shen Liufeng approached him without hesitation, and then whispered: "I'm also worried. You said such a heavy rain..."

He paused, scratching his head embarrassedly.

"When the accident happened in Yangzhou that day, the rain was so heavy." He said. "I'm always a little uneasy."

Jun Huailang's eyes froze.

What he was talking about was naturally the matter that they were trapped in a landslide in the Yangzhou Mountains that day.

He didn't speak for a moment, Shen Liufeng never had any idea, so he stared at him nervously.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm always a little uneasy..."

After a while, Jun Huailang smiled at him.

"Stop thinking about it," he said. "Study in peace first, and after class is over, I will take you to the South City Gate to greet you."

Shen Liufeng nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder outside the window.

In the pouring rain, the thunder was far away and could not be heard clearly.But after a few thunderclaps in succession, there were faint human voices.

Jun Huailang frowned and looked out the window.

The voice came closer.

At this moment, a nurse rushed into the classroom.

It was the dean of the academy who was in class, and when he saw that person coming in, he put down his book and asked, "What's the matter?"

The nursing home hurriedly said: "Dean, it's not good! The dam in the north of the city suddenly collapsed, and the river flooded in, flooding the city!"

The dean froze in place, and the students in the classroom were in an uproar.

Jun Huailang's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand holding the pen tightened suddenly, and he almost stood up from his seat.

Dam collapsed?

The dam collapsed in the previous life, obviously it was July.Coupled with the situation he checked on weekdays, although there was a lot of rain during this period, it would never break the dam.

Even the time of the collapse is different now from the previous life... This is obviously not destiny, but man-made.

The embankment collapsed only after being tampered with, and it was precisely because of the arrival of myself and Xue Yan this year that the official situation in the Jinling government office was completely different from that in the previous life, so that person took action in advance, which contributed to the collapse of the embankment.

...and specially picked a time when Xue Yan and senior Jinling officials were not in the city.

It's already June, but Jun Huailang's back feels chills.

At this moment, the nursing home said: "Dean, there are many refugees whose houses are flooded outside, and they want to take refuge in the academy. Look..."

The road to the entrance of Linjiang Academy is narrow because it is located on a hill by the river, and the terrain is high and uneven.Because of this, the northern part of Jinling City was submerged a lot, and Linjiang Academy was a rare safe area.

When Jun Huailang heard those words, he felt a little strange in his heart.

The Yangtze River has a wide surface and abundant water flow. In addition, it has been raining a lot this year. The situation is bound to be serious if it breaches this time.However, when ordinary people face this kind of disaster, they usually mess up their hands and feet, rushing to protect their families and rescue their belongings. Even if they flee, it is difficult to find the right direction. How could they run to the most reasonable place at the first time of the flood?

Jun Huailang suddenly thought that the dossier of the previous life said that when the flood came, there were many conflicts in the city.

The most serious is in the academy.The refugees seized the houses, had disputes with the scholars, and fought afterward, wounding and killing many scholars.

At that time, he was still wondering why he would beat someone to death when he was just hiding from the rain.

...it turns out that the problem is actually here.

The pages of the book in Jun Huailang's hands were suddenly torn by him.

When the dean on the front podium heard the words, he hurriedly said: "Go and open the door, let the common people come in and hide!"

The nursing home let out a hey and wanted to run outside.

"Slow!" Jun Huailang stood up.

Everyone in the classroom immediately looked at him.

At this time, everyone's faces were flustered, but he was the only one standing upright in the same place, wearing a green shirt, with Zhilan Yushu.

He clearly had no expression on his face, he was cold and aloof, but inexplicably made everyone feel a little more at ease when they saw him.

"There may be something strange, don't open the door yet." He said. "I gonna go see."
