The General and His Enemy Your Highness

The water in the city was already ankle-deep, and the flood was temporarily blocked by the city gate, but muddy sewage flowed out along the gaps, but as long as the city wall could stop the flood, the city would be safe for the time being.

It's a pity that the city wall has been soaked in rain for a long time and has not yet been repaired, but it collapsed suddenly after holding it for half an hour, and the accumulated flood suddenly poured in, roaring and surging.

"what--!"

The soldiers suddenly let out a roar that shook the sky and the earth, as if to dispel fear. At this moment, between life and death, there is no fear.

The turbid flood came raging and rushing, accompanied by lightning and thunder, like a catastrophe, mortals could only resist with their flesh and blood, and the human wall stood tenaciously in the water, blocking the water with their lives.

"My lord, I can't stop it anymore." Luo Fu's expression was pale, staring at the approaching muddy water in the distance, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

Fang Ren also turned pale with fright, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

As if Mei Geng had never heard of it, he stood firmly in the water and stared fiercely at the approaching water waves, full of unwillingness. When he came here, he had already prepared for the worst, but when it was the moment of life and death, he remembered that gentle and gentle woman. Such as the boy in March in the south of the Yangtze River.

The little guy is not the emperor above ten thousand people, if he dies here, who will protect the child in the future?

Endless regrets, no matter how unwilling, finally turned into a light sigh.

Mei Geng wondered wildly, if he died, would he still have a chance to be born again?

It was expected that the engulfed by the flood did not appear, and for some reason, the beast-like flood calmed down and gradually receded.

Everyone was silent, only the roar of thunder and the patter of rain.

After being stunned for a long while, the soldiers including Luo Fu did not recover from the shock of the rest of their life after the catastrophe. Mei Geng also stared blankly at the receding flood, not knowing why.

Is this... the end?

The absurd but true fact, the flood that could have killed them in a cup of tea has receded!

Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, and finally let out a shocking cheer, which gradually turned into a hoarse cry. They seemed to have changed from iron-blooded soldiers to ordinary people in an instant. To die is to fear.

Mei Geng knew in his heart that in the final analysis, we are all human, and no one is afraid of death.

Even if he experienced death once, this time he was absolutely not as calm as in his previous life, and he was no exception to the fear that trembled in his bones.

Rover couldn't maintain peace either, but he didn't howl. The joy of surviving was mixed with the remaining fear on his face, which was extremely complicated. He asked, "My lord, what...what's going on?"

Mei Geng didn't respond, but just shook his head.

The heavy rain continued, but the flood receded. He didn't think it was a miracle, and there must be a reason.

Not being able to take things lightly, Mei Geng slowed down, and ordered to rush down to repair the city wall, dig canals to clear the stagnant water, and didn't bother to change into a set of clothes for herself. , like a newborn.

Mei Geng was dressed in a brocade robe that could no longer see his original appearance, it was wet and smeared with mud, the house he had prepared for him was in the east of the city, it had not been affected by the flood, Qin Gui guarded the door, saw him come back, He opened his mouth hesitantly, but no words came out.

Mei Geng's expression was slightly gloomy, and he suddenly felt uneasy, and immediately asked, "Where's Xiao Ce?"

"...inside." Qin Gui gritted his teeth and said just now, "His Highness Fifth is injured and has a fever."

In an instant, King Xiping's eyes shot out viciousness, like an enraged beast, his whole body was filled with hostility, and he paused every word: "What's going on?"

After he left, Chu Ce did not go out of the city to avoid the flood as he said, but forced Qin Gui to take him to Sikong, the water capital of Lu County.

He knew that no matter how hard he tried to stop the pervasive flood, he had to open the gates to release the water if he wanted to tide over the difficulties.

But once the gate is opened, other villages and counties may be involved, so Sikong, the water capital of Lu County, is unwilling to open the gate. After all, Sikong the water capital is a third-rank official, and he is sure that Chu Ce has nothing to do with him. Who knows that Chu Ce does not intend to quarrel with him. , pulled out the dagger and pressed it against his own neck, seeing trickles of bright red blood dripping from the cut flesh, scared Shuidu Sikong's face paled in fright.

After all, he is also a dignified Royal Highness, if he really died in Lu County, what would happen?

Sikong was so angry that Shuidu secretly called Chu Ce like a lunatic, he could think of such a way, but he had no choice but to open the gate to release the water, which relieved Mei Geng's urgent need.

He went out in the rain, and came back in the rain. He was also injured. As soon as he got off the horse, he passed out and never woke up again.

A cold lamp, flickering candlelight.

The thin young man was wearing a brocade quilt, with a cold scarf on his forehead, his cheeks were flushed with heat, his eyes were closed, and he was extremely fragile.

Mei Geng stood by the couch and looked at it for a while, before he had time to change out of his dirty clothes, his face was full of gloomy, his jaw line was tensed into a sharp curve, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

"Qin Gui, go and investigate Shen Changxu, within three days this king will see what he has committed."

The deep and cold voice was like a cold spring in the Tianshan Mountains, cold and piercingly chilling.

Shen Changxu,

"Yes." Qin Gui accepted the order without hesitation, and he was also full of anger. Today, that bastard Sikong refused to listen to him, but refused to open the gate to release the water, and forced Chu Ce to kill himself with a knife. It is really abominable.

Covered in mud, Mei Geng couldn't get close to Chu Ce's body, so he simply ordered the water to be cleaned up on the spot, and changed into pear-white narrow-sleeved normal clothes, before approaching the sleepy Chu Ce.

Chu Ce was born with gentle facial features, and even more harmless when he was asleep, like a child who doesn't know much about the world.

Mei Geng stretched out his hand to uncover a corner of the brocade quilt, and saw the gauze covering the side of his neck, and his heart throbbed suddenly.

Leaving in a hurry, he guessed that Shen Sikong would not obey orders easily, how could Chu Ce not think of it?This fool went directly to the door and threatened him with his life. If someone else Mei Geng would praise him for his wisdom and courage, but for this little guy in front of him, he would only feel distressed.

Curling her fingers lightly scratching her hot cheek, Mei Geng's eyes were full of gloomy, and also a little panic.

Chu Ce's body couldn't stand the torture, and the image of his premature death was lingering in his mind like a curse, Mei Geng could not wait to tear that bastard Sikong to pieces.

"Well……"

Chu Ce snorted softly because of discomfort, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes slowly.

"Xiao Ce?" Mei Geng called out softly, filled with undeniable affection, "How do you feel?"

Chu Ce's clear eyes were full of confusion, and it took him a while to regain his senses. He blinked and said in a hoarse voice, "Mei Geng, you're back."

"I'm back." Mei Geng stretched out his hand to hold the hot hand of the young man under the quilt, but unexpectedly, Chu Ce's eyes were red, and his hoarse voice was also full of tears, and he whispered something like a sob: "I'm afraid You can't come back."

"..." Mei Geng was speechless, staring blankly at the little guy's eyes that seemed to be complaining, he clearly saw panic and grievance.

After a while, King Xiping had nothing to do with His Highness the Fifth Highness, and felt sorry for him being wronged, and he didn't care about the little guy's private decisions, so he sighed softly: "I promised you, I will come back."

But he knew that if it wasn't for Chu Ce this time, he might not be able to come back safe and sound.

The weak Fifth Prince did not have the ferocity to threaten Shen Sikong, or because of his illness, he was extremely fragile. A pair of beautiful and gentle star eyes were covered with water vapor, and the tails of the eyes were thin red, which only added to the beauty. This time, he was like a boy of his age, sobbing while grabbing Mei Geng's hand, and filed a lawsuit along the way.

"Shen Changxu refused to open the gate, and detained the person you sent to deliver the message. He also wanted to detain me. If I hadn't been prepared, he might have killed me to silence me."

His Royal Highness was extremely wronged.

Mei Geng had no choice but to coax him: "Alright, I'll kill that bastard to vent your anger on you, be good, don't get angry."

Chu Ce pursed his lips, "Really?"

Mei Geng responded again and again: "Of course it is true."

He couldn't laugh or cry, Chu Ce's words were nonsense when he heard them, why kill him to silence him, if he really wanted to kill him, how could he be forced by Chu Ce to commit suicide?

But it was true that the bastard almost killed him in the flood, and it was true that he hurt Chu Ce. Based on this, Mei Geng did not intend to let him go.

Chu Ce was probably tired from tossing and tossing, and fell asleep shortly after waking up. The scorching heat subsided and burned back quickly. come over.

Mei Geng only took a short nap throughout the night, busy taking care of Chu Ce, and dealing with the mess in Linzhang.

The flood did not start from the west of Linzhang City, and the surrounding cities and counties also suffered heavy losses. That night, King Xiping's urgent note was sent back to Yong'an, and by the way, he repeated the sentence that Sikong, Shen Chang, and Xuyang were disobedient and disrespectful, which threatened to cause catastrophe. It is imperative to dig the canal.

Fortunately, as if God left a way for them to survive, the continuous rain stopped, and the next day was a bright and sunny day.

But Chu Ce's health did not improve, the illness lasted for half a month, and it has been more than a month since he arrived in Linzhang, Chu Ce recovered from the serious illness, but left a shallow scar on the side of his neck.

Even after recovering from his illness, Chu Ce was often sick and lacking in energy. When Mei Geng was dealing with official duties, he would nestle in someone's arms, like a lazy cat.

Chu Ce rested his forehead on the man's shoulder, tugged at the hem of his shirt, and looked over with gentle eyes, "Where's Shen Changxu? Didn't you agree—"

Mei Geng kissed his soft face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What's the hurry? He won't be able to toss around for a few days, how can he vent his anger when he's about to die?"

This is the biggest difference between him and Chu Ce. If Chu Ce has a grudge against someone, he will kill all the grass and roots, but he will never do more torture.

But Mei Geng wanted to play people to death, making his life worse than death.

"My lord." Qin Gui came in from the outside, seeing that the two of them were intimacy as normal, his usually expressionless face was a bit strange, "Shen Changxu is begging to see you outside."

Mei Geng put down his pen slowly, glanced at the little guy in his arms, and the meaning was self-evident—look, are you here?

Chu Zhizhi raised his lips slightly, then got up from the man's arms and straightened his clothes and cuffs. It was His Highness Qinggui who was as warm and moist as jade like a jade tree in front of the court.

Mei Geng and Qin Gui, who have long been accustomed to the two faces of Chu Ce people, are not surprised.

Cher is just so cute!
