she won't live to twenty

Wuming did not catch up in the end.

One was that the ship was traveling too fast, and it would be a waste of time for her to catch up with the ship and turn back.Even if her internal strength is great, it is still difficult to step across dozens of miles of water in one breath.

The second is because she calmed down. Just now when Tang Chiyu was chasing the boat, Wuming was infected by her anger and rushed up.But now that I think about it, what's the use of catching up?Kill all the soldiers and officials on the ship with one sword, or force them to apologize to the victims by holding them by their collars?Or try to reason with them?

What's more, the ship was originally the territory of the Fengcheng navy. Wuming and Tang Chiyu were good at land warfare. It was obviously not worthwhile to fight them head-on on the water. It was better to go to Fengcheng to settle the matter.Wuming took a deep breath, and swept forward for a long distance. After seeing the appearance of the old man on the deck, he turned and turned back to the direction of the merchant ship.

During the time when Wuming was chasing people, the merchant ships had already approached the victims, and the boatmen were helping to rescue people and fish for things.

Wuming subconsciously scanned the deck, looking for Nanyue's figure.After not seeing the little girl on the boat, Wuming frowned suddenly, with murderous aura overflowing. She was standing on a small piece of driftwood with one foot at this time, and the water waves rippled outward with the murderous aura.

The next moment, the nameless hostility dissipated, and he blinked blankly instead.

Nanyue was indeed not on the boat, she was following the boatmen, stepping on driftwood to save people.Nanyue hopped lightly on the driftwood, using the lightness skills learned in the past six months to the fullest, but her internal strength was too weak, and she couldn't touch the water with her toes like Wuming and Tang Chiyu without leaving marks, her shoes and socks were already soaked .

Nanyue helped pick up a little baby, and jumped onto the boat lightly. At this moment, the boat shook. Although Nanyue was a little flustered, she immediately stabilized her body, and even helped the boatman next to her .

Wuming watched from afar, his eyes full of smiles.

It turns out that at some point, Nan Yue was able to be alone.

Nanyue seemed to feel Wuming's gaze, and suddenly raised her head, a trace of obvious surprise flashed in her eyes, she stood on tiptoe and waved to Wuming.

Wuming flew over and hugged Nanyue tightly in his arms.

Seeing that the person was almost saved, Wuming took Nanyue back to the room, let her sit on the bed, and carefully took off her wet shoes and socks.

Nanyue propped her hands on the quilt, tilted her head slightly, and her face was slightly red: "Itchy..."

"Then I'll hurry up." Wuming quickly dried Nanyue's feet and put on a pair of clean foot bags, only to realize what he said just now.But Xiao Nanyue obviously didn't understand, she blushed only because her little feet were held in Wuming's arms, and she was a little shy and uncomfortable.

Nanyue touched Wuming's heart with her toes, and twisted it very slightly, as if she wanted to retract, but inadvertently pulled Wuming's heartstrings.

Because Wuming is too barren in front of him, he rarely wears underwear. In summer, he often wears a beard girl costume that is easy to move, and puts a cloak on the outside to hide the sword.So now Nanyue's toes are only separated by a thin layer of cloth, and she can easily touch something.

After Nanyue moved a few times, she came to her senses, her body stiffened instantly, she didn't dare to move any more, she looked down at Wuming pitifully: "I'm sorry, Wuming, I... I didn't mean it."

"It's okay." The nameless voice was hoarse.

It was fine if Nanyue didn't say anything, but when she said it, Wuming also felt something was wrong.

To be honest...it hurts a bit and itches a bit.But now it is broad daylight, and there are many people outside the cabin, Wuming is really embarrassed to say such nonsense as "rubbing for me" in front of Nanyue, and it is even more rare that he has no intention of getting up to bully Nanyue.Wuming Anjing hugged Nanyue's feet, helping her to warm her cold feet soaked in the river water.

The room became quiet, and the atmosphere was not ambiguous, but inexplicably weird.

"Wu Ming, Xiao Nanyue, are you in there?" Tang Chiyu knocked on the door suddenly.

Wuming let go of his hand as if nothing had happened, stood up to open the door, Nanyue also sat up straight, her feet stepped on the shoes and rubbed unconsciously.

"Wu Ming, what happened to that boat just now?" Tang Chiyu sat by the bed.

"There is an old man in his fifties sitting on the boat. I don't know if he is the commander of the navy or the prefect of Fengcheng." Wuming also sat down beside Nanyue, holding his chin in both hands, thinking, "But I think the prefect may It's more sexual. Xiao Qi, do you know the name of the prefect of Fengcheng?"

Tang Chiyu frowned and recalled: "It seems to be called... Liang Yuebai. I met him a few times in Kyoto when I was a child, and then he was transferred to Fengcheng for some reason, and he hasn't returned to Beijing for more than ten years."

Nameless asked: "Do you still remember what kind of person he was?"

"I don't really remember." Tang Chiyu shook his head, and quickly said sharply, "Whoever his mother is, as a prefect but disregarding the lives of the victims, he is not worthy of being a parent official at all!"

Anonymous noncommittal.

Even if they were rushing back to the city to deal with the flood, at most the boat would have to bypass the victims, so why did it run over them?The people on board clearly did it on purpose!

It's good that prefect Liang's bad behavior was seen by others, but ordinary people have nowhere to sue.But the people who saw this scene with their own eyes were Tang Chiyu and Wuming, one was the Seventh Princess of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the other was the princess bestowed by His Majesty. Prefect Liang must pay the price for this.

The three of them walked out of the cabin, and the rescued victims curled up on the deck wrapped in blankets. Some looked sad, some were numb, and some cried until they fainted holding a mutilated corpse.

The corpse was twisted badly by the warship, and the blood flowed out almost in the water, and the broken and swollen corpse looked extremely terrifying.

Wuming covered Nanyue's eyes, and led her to the other side, where she stood on the deck and watched the scenery in the distance.

Tang Chiyu stayed beside the victims, wanting to chat with them, but one of the victims held her by the cuff and kept repeating a sentence: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it... I'm used to it!"

What are you used to?

Tang Chiyu's face was pale.

After traveling for a few months, Tang Chiyu saw troublemakers in poor mountains and evil waters, and also saw the smell of wine and meat from rich families.But it was the first time she had seen such a tragic scene under natural disasters where people's lives were ignored.

At this time, Tang Chiyu didn't know that the farther north he went, the farther away he was from the capital, the more common such situations would be.But a month later, the group of them will encounter something even more appalling than it is now.

During the 16 years of King Qin's rule, the Great Qin Dynasty has long been ruined by moths from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and may collapse at any time.

The merchant ship was struggling to move forward in the muddy flood, but the closer it was to Fengcheng, the more anxious Wuming felt.Finally, the merchant ship was moored at the pier, and Wuming and others rowed the boat for a while, and finally arrived outside the city wall that was not submerged by the flood. Only then did Wuming realize where the inexplicable anxiety in his heart came from.

The gate of Fengcheng was closed tightly, and hundreds of victims hid beside the city wall, their faces pale and numb, like a group of poor living corpses.

Prefect Liang had no plan to rescue the victims at all!

The number of victims is not many, compared with the refugees outside Daxing Mountain, it is just a drop in the bucket.But at this moment, the few people glanced at the numb and desperate faces, and felt a chill down their backs.

Tang Chiyu suddenly calmed down and said, "When I was on the boat just now, I heard some victims say that they are used to it."

The area around Fengcheng has plenty of rain, and it is the center of several rivers. Floods happen every few years. This is known to Wuming.But having never experienced it personally, Wuming never knew that the flood disaster was so severe.Prefect Liang hid the news too tightly, maybe a lot of money was spent on the up and down management, but there was no news outside, and no one took the flood seriously.

Those villagers who were born in low-lying areas had managed to take care of their fields with great difficulty. It was almost the harvest season of the year, but everything was suddenly washed away by the flood. How desperate should they feel?Instead of treating the victims, the prefect of Fengcheng abandoned them, blocked the news, and prevented the message from spreading.Year after year, it seems to be caught in a vicious circle with no end in sight. How can the victims not get used to it?

Wuming felt that he was used to being ruthless, and would not be moved by the suffering of others, but at this moment he still felt a shock.

There was a rare surge of hostility in my heart.

Wuming held Nanyue's hand tightly, and led her to walk beside Tang Chiyu, seeming to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be saying to Tang Chiyu: "If you want to change the status quo of Fengcheng, there are two points. The first is to treat the symptoms. A group of serious and responsible officials will rescue and appease the victims and minimize losses. The second is to treat the root cause, spending a lot of manpower and financial resources to build dams and promote water conservancy projects. At present, we can only do the first point."

Tang Chiyu nodded silently.

As expected, several people were stopped when they entered the city. Before Wuming and Tang Chiyu took out their identity tokens, Nan Haomiao was ready to hand over the customs clearance document, and the city guards opened the city gate to release them.Another group of soldiers drew their swords and aimed at the victims outside the city. No one dared to approach them under the gloomy and cold sword light.

Wuming turned her head to take a deep look, and at the same time gave Tang Chiyu a soothing look, restraining her urge to draw her sword now.Impulsively attacking the defenders and letting the victims into the city may cause riots in the city.

After parting ways with Nan Haomiao and his group, the three of them made some inquiries and confirmed that the old man on board was the prefect Liang Yuebaihou, and went straight to the prefect's mansion.

Perhaps because they were afraid that the victims would break into the city and cause trouble, the inside and outside of the prefect's mansion were tightly surrounded by navy soldiers.Wuming didn't mean to sneak attack, he walked straight to the main entrance full of hostility, and kicked open the gate of the prefect's mansion!

The expensive door of the Limu Mansion burst into pieces.

The gatekeepers were stunned for a long time, and finally moved hastily, holding crossbow arrows and surrounding the three of them.However, Wuming could tell at a glance that although these soldiers were well-equipped, their footsteps were vain, and their arrow-drawing movements were not as good as those of the Weibei Army, or even the bandits in Taoyuan.

"Who dares to break into the prefect's mansion?" A school captain in armor drew his sword neatly, his movements were not as vain as other soldiers, he was a real trainer.The captain's sword was radiant and cold, and his face was also filled with a cold and murderous look. I don't know how many people's heads have been chopped off.

All the soldiers around knew that the school lieutenant's surname was Hu. He was not a military officer, but a bandit who killed countless people in the rivers and lakes. Later, he was subdued by the prefect somehow, and he followed the prefect to be a captain of the navy with peace of mind.However, even if he becomes an official, Colonel Hu's bad habit of killing people will not be changed after all, and he will hunt in the city every now and then.Hu Xiaowei's martial arts are terribly high, he is said to be a third-rank master, and he is backed by the prefect, so no one in the city dares to oppose him.Even if the relatives and friends of the soldiers were taken by him, he could only admit that he was unlucky, otherwise his own life would have to be involved.

The soldiers of the Fengcheng navy were afraid that he would hate him, but in the end they had no choice but to collude with him, flattering him to the extreme.

Now seeing Colonel Hu actually personally deal with these three young ladies who dared to break into the prefect's mansion, the soldiers felt a strange joy in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to see the three aggressive girls subdue in the captain's hands.These three people are not bad in appearance, one is seductive, one is beautiful, and the other is handsome, each has its own merits, although they will eventually be sent to the eunuch's room, but it would be good if they can be touched while they are messing around.

The soldiers in the front row had green eyes, almost licking their lips and drooling, and the greasy and obscene thoughts in their hearts were vividly expressed on their faces.

Seeing Lieutenant Hu drawing his sword and about to strike, some people even wanted to put down their bows and crossbows and applaud.

However, the next moment, the expectant expressions of the soldiers froze, and turned into panic, and some people's cheeks even twisted because of this, looking extremely weird.

I saw that her beautiful barbarian girl kicked the door again just like kicking the door just now, trampling Captain Tiger's five-foot long knife, and then stepped on his chest.

The internal force was so great that the surrounding soldiers were even affected, and they staggered back a few steps.

Someone accidentally shot a few arrows, which pierced the neck of the opposite companion impartially.It's a big joke that the opponent lost a few soldiers with just one move.

Wuming stepped out, but it was far from over.Seeing that Colonel Hu was about to fall backwards, Wuming reached out and grabbed his collar, pulled him back, and slammed him onto the ground with one hand—

Smashed a humanoid pit.

Wuming stepped on Lieutenant Hu's back, and let him sink a little further into the pit. He raised his head and clapped his hands lightly, and sighed: "It's really not enough to beat three grades."

Wuming's indifferent words made the surrounding soldiers almost kneel down in fright, their bodies trembling endlessly.

That's a third-rank master!In Jianghu, there are no more than a few hundred third-rank masters, in her mouth, how can she be so understated?Unless she is a first- and second-rank expert who is rumored to be able to defeat hundreds of riders, or a divine first-rank master who can split rivers with one finger?

Wuming is still far from the master, but it is enough to coax these ignorant soldiers of the Fengcheng Navy, the hands of the people around them are shaking even holding the crossbow, let alone shooting arrows.

"Give this to your prefect, let him come to see us." Tang Chiyu took out a token and threw it to the nearest soldier.

The man's hand trembled violently, he didn't catch the waist token for a while, and fell to his knees in fright, groping for a while tremblingly, then picked up the token and staggered towards the mansion.

……

Prefect Liang had just returned to his residence not long ago, and was changing into comfortable clothes, hugging the beauty in the backyard, listening to the music with a fascinated expression on his face.According to his ten years of experience, during the one or two months of the flood, it is best not to go out without going out, so as not to cause trouble for the victims and get himself into trouble.

But these years are okay, maybe the victims are used to it, and those who have the strength to make trouble have almost died in the past few years, and Fengcheng has become more peaceful.

Prefect Liang is old and strong, and the courtyard full of beauties is still not enough. When he was thinking about how to train the barbarian woman after capturing today, a soldier stumbled into the courtyard.

"Master Liang! Today's boat..." The soldiers trembled and organized their words, and it took a while to complete a sentence, "The barbarian woman who chased the boat today, she, she found the prefect's mansion! Except her, There are two other women."

Prefect Liang frowned in displeasure, but smiled because of the soldier's words, with folds on his face: "Why don't you bring people in soon?"

"My lord, no, no..." The soldier didn't dare to say more, and handed the token to the prefect Liang tremblingly, "They said they want you to go out and meet them..."

Prefect Liang frowned, "Tsk", and asked sharply, "Where's Captain Tiger?"

"Master Captain, he has already been beaten to death!"

At the same time that the soldier said these words in a trembling voice, Prefect Liang also saw the identity badge on his waist card, and his expression suddenly became strange.

This is the token of the Seventh Princess!

"What does the girl who gave you the token look like?" Prefect Liang lost most of his momentum when he spoke.

"The woman looks very heroic, with dark skin and a long scar on her neck."

Prefect Liang clenched his fingers violently. Although he hadn't returned to the capital for several years, the news didn't lag behind at all. He knew very well that the person was Seventh Princess herself!

As for another barbarian girl with strong martial arts who was able to beat Captain Hu half to death, if it wasn't the notorious Changning princess in the capital, who would it be?

Prefect Liang dared to indulge in pleasure and dominate here because of the high sky and the emperor's distance in Fengcheng, regardless of the life and death of the people.But how could he have imagined that the flood would only occur once in three or five days, and he would be bumped into by the two His Royal Highnesses who were traveling abroad!

That's not to mention, the prefect Liang let the warship run over the victims today, just on a whim, he is not a murderer like Captain Hu, over the past ten years, the number of people who died under his command can be counted on one hand.Who knew that this spur of the moment was actually seen clearly by the two Highnesses.If he hadn't been seen, he might be able to quibble, but now...

Many thoughts flashed across Liang Taishou's cloudy eyes, and even a bit of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.But in the end, Prefect Liang restrained his killing intent, put on a gentle and submissive smile, and walked slowly towards the door.

"Order someone to prepare a banquet."

The seventh princess has been in Weibei for three years. Although she can command troops to fight, she may not be able to be a human being.As for Changning County Master, he has a very vicious reputation, and he is probably a dandy like the First Prince.Prefect Liang believed that as long as he was willing to put in the effort, he would be able to fool them.

Although Prefect Liang was already mentally prepared, when he walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw the broken wooden door and Captain Hu who was trampled under Wuming's feet, he still couldn't help showing a trace of fear.

Lieutenant Hu vomited several mouthfuls of blood, which spilled all over the bluestone floor tiles outside the mansion, mixed with sour and smelly gastric juice, and had an extremely unpleasant smell.

That Princess Changning is really pretty, but how dare he appreciate it at this moment?

Prefect Liang immediately put on a flustered look, and shouted at the soldiers, "What are you doing! You still haven't put down your sword!"

The soldiers didn't have to face the goddess of death anymore, and felt relieved for a while, they put down their bows and arrows and took a few steps back.

Prefect Liang tried his best to hide the fear on his face, and apologized politely: "Your Highness, Lieutenant Hu is not strict with the army and accidentally offended you, I..."

But Wuming interrupted him, straight to the point: "Prefect Liang, how are you going to resettle the victims outside the city?"

Prefect Liang turned his head very quickly, and blurted out the words: "To tell you the truth, I am discussing this matter with the counselors in the mansion. The disaster this year is not as bad as in previous years. How dare I be careless? When I found a flood during my inspection, I immediately Speed ​​up and rush back, not daring to delay for a moment."

Prefect Liang's acting skills are excellent, and his voice is eloquent. If Wuming hadn't witnessed the tragedy of the disaster victims outside the city, he would have believed that he is a parent official who loves the people like a son.Furthermore, there was something in Liang Taishou's words, as Wuming thought, he would take the responsibility of crushing the victims to death with a sentence of "busy rush back to save people", and lightly passed by.As for how to treat the victims?Although he said he didn't dare to be careless, he didn't even say a specific measure.

"I don't dare to neglect the two highnesses, and I have already ordered the servants to prepare the banquet. Why don't the two highnesses sit in the mansion." Seeing that Wuming and Tang Chiyu didn't reply, the prefect Liang thought that he had already deceived them, and covered his eyes. Zhong Xise changed the subject and said, "Hey, who is this girl?"

Prefect Liang asked Nanyue, of course, he just took one look at her and concluded that the little girl was pretty and pretty, and her temperament should be soft and innocent.Moreover, Prefect Liang could see clearly that the hairpin on the little girl's head was exactly a pair with Changning's hairpin, which shows how good their relationship is.If you want to make Chang Ning and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince happy, maybe this little girl is the key point.

Wuming took a step forward, getting closer to Prefect Liang, and at the same time she stretched out her hand, Nan Yue immediately held her hand and stood side by side with her.

Prefect Liang resisted the urge to take a step back, and looked at the two with a smile.

But Wuming didn't answer his question, she smiled softly and repeated: "Prefect Liang, how are you going to resettle the victims outside?"

"This..." Prefect Liang still wanted to fool around, but when he met Wuming's cold eyes, he shuddered and said quickly, "I'm discussing with the counselors, I should move an inn and open the city gate to let them in , but the number of victims is large, and it will take a day or two to prepare..."

Wuming raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since you know there are so many people, how can one inn be enough? Have you checked how many people are there outside the city?"

"You said to prepare for one or two days, so what about the disaster victims outside the city during these two days?"

"Since Mr. Liang doesn't know how to make arrangements, then I will help you."

"Open warehouses to release food, set up tents outside the city, collect clothes and sheets to send out of the city..."

When he heard the word "release grain", Prefect Liang's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal.

Nameless but clearly seen.

Wuming stopped his voice, and suddenly said with a smile: "Master Liang, are you thinking about how to quietly put me and His Highness the Seventh Prince to death?"

Prefect Liang was poked in the center of his thoughts, and his expression really became flustered.
