Raising Wolves

Probably because he was so frightened, Ning Juan's seasickness symptoms recovered quickly, and there was no more severe reaction.

Lu Qing didn't mention Ning Juan's fragility under the ups and downs that night.

The little peacock is usually so concerned about face, she cried once in front of him, and when she came to her senses, she probably felt uncomfortable again.

Ning Juan has been extremely clingy to him these years, probably because he was the first person to treat him unconditionally when he was most helpless.

But he didn't expect that Ning Juan would cry for him.

The emperor's sincere tears are the most rare.

The resources on the building boats are abundant, and they have not docked all the way. They go down the river day and night. After half a month, the scenery on both sides of the river has changed from plains to verdant Yuandai, with deep bamboos, dense trees, green locust trees and tall willows. A summer scene in the south of the Yangtze River is gradually spreading open in the eyes.

The building boat anchored on the shore, and the surrounding area had been cleared long ago. The general soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the governor, the chief envoy, and the magistrate were all waiting at the ferry. Before they got down, some officials couldn't help but exchanged glances with each other.

His Majesty the Emperor is young, has not yet taken power, and the affairs of the court and China are still in the hands of the chief assistant of the Wei, yet he dares to leave the capital...

I heard that the young emperor who was personally appointed by the late emperor also came, and he was born in Lin'an Mansion.

Are they going to make a deal, or just let it go?

Let it go, it's a pity, it's a good relationship, and I'm afraid of offending Wei Shoufu, he is the one who holds the right to speak in the bureaucracy, promotion and transfer depends on his face...

Everyone was struggling in their hearts, and the board was slowly lowered. Dozens of brocade guards in flying fish suits opened the way first, with knives around their waists, looking serious. After a while, His Majesty appeared in front of them.

He was a tall and slender young man, handsome and dignified, wearing a narrow-sleeved four-ball dragon uniform, jade belt soap boots, a straight waist, a calm gait, and a calm and elegant appearance when walking. As if there was wind, his face was pale, without any emotion or depth.

The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was startled secretly, and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to greet His Majesty, but unexpectedly, the young emperor didn't even look at the group of people on the bank, turned sideways, helped the people behind him onto the board, and his eyes fell on On the other side, there was a little smile on the expressionless face: "It's windy, teacher, be careful."

That is Mrs. Lu?

Everyone couldn't help but secretly looked at the past.

The thin and thin figure of the young man was wrapped in the light green uniform. From the sickly pale complexion exposed between the sleeves and the neck, it could be seen that his health was indeed as bad as the rumors. However, the lips exposed under the silver mask were beautiful, and the chin was white and delicate. At a glance, you can tell that the facial features are very good.

It's a pity that his face was ruined, and now he is an ugly monster who would have nightmares just by looking at it.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, and forgot for a while, they were still debating whether to show their love to Lu Qingze just now.

Seeing that the two of them came down, they immediately knelt down, announced their identities and names one after another, and shouted long live together.

Ning Juan lowered his eyelids, glanced at the group of magistrates with different thoughts, and hummed: "Get up."

Li Xun, governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, took the first step forward, showing an eager smile: "The ministers and the people have been looking forward to it, and finally your majesty is here. I have the courage to hold a dust-cleaning banquet for your majesty in the Hefeng Tower by the West Lake... "

Before he finished speaking, Ning Juan said indifferently: "I will go back to the palace to rest for a while, and we will talk about it at night at the dust-cleaning banquet."

Li Xun quickly responded.

It was windy at the ferry, but Lu Qing accidentally took a breath, tilted his head and coughed lightly, and nodded slightly at Li Xun with a smile: "The boat is exhausting, and His Majesty is also tired. Thank you for your kindness, and I will come to have fun with you all in the evening." .”

His voice is clear and moist, like a gurgling spring flowing over stones, falling into the ears in the scorching noon. The bit of resentment in my heart dissipated, and they all bowed their hands in applause.

Looking at Lu Qingze again, I just feel that this emperor teacher is as graceful as the moon. Although he is a bit ugly, he has a good temperament, so he can still try to make friends.

The carriage was prepared by the ferry, Zheng Yao went up to check it first, and then bowed to ask Ning Juan and Lu Qing to get on the carriage and rode the horses himself. Go to the city of Lin'an Prefecture.

The carriage swayed slightly, while Lu Qing took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and looked at Ning Juan: "Have all the arrangements been made?"

Ning Juan smiled and nodded: "Just wait for the evening."

The palace built by Emperor Chong'an in Lin'an Mansion is not too big, but it is very gorgeous. It is different from the square, majestic and majestic Forbidden City. It follows the exquisite and graceful Jiangnan garden style.

When Lu Qing walked in, he felt emotional for a moment. He wanted to enter this kind of place in his previous life, but he had to queue up to buy a ticket and go through the security check...

The inside and outside of the palace were closely guarded. In addition to the Jinyi Guards and the Forbidden Army, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang General Army also dispatched people to guard the outside of the palace day and night, lest something happen to the little emperor on their territory.

The sun went down, and the sky was getting darker, adding a bit of coolness.

Ning Juan changed his clothes, and drove with Lu Qing, accompanied by Zheng Yao and Chang Shun, to the Hefeng Tower by the West Lake.

There were more than a dozen officials who went to the dust-cleaning banquet, most of them brought their family members with them, and tacitly brought out their daughters of the right age. At a glance, there were more than a dozen young girls, all dressed up meticulously.

As Ning Juan stepped in, the moment a group of people knelt down, the girls secretly raised their eyes to look at His Majesty the Emperor who came from afar, and found that Ning Juan was more handsome than he imagined, and blushed a little. .

Before going out at night, they were told how to behave well tonight.

His Majesty's harem is empty, not to mention Li Empress, I heard that there is not even a concubine, if he can be chosen by His Majesty, brought back to the capital, and made a concubine—maybe the empress will also be in the bag?

They all felt uneasy about going to face the emperor, they didn't expect the new emperor to be so handsome and handsome.

Lu Qing walked beside Ning Juan, and at a glance, he could tell what the magistrates were thinking. After shaking his head secretly, he glanced at Ning Juan, with a smile in his eyes, and thought about it for a while.

Although he despises those who want to gain power by marrying their daughters, but if Ning Juan likes a certain girl, it is not impossible.

He is not the dean of teaching, so he has no objection to puppy love.

Adolescent teenagers should also have a good impression of girls of the same age. Why does this little peacock at home look like nothing?

Lu Qing became a little interested, and while the others were still kneeling, he turned to Ning Juan's side, and said meaningfully: "There are indeed beauties in the south of the Yangtze River."

Ning Juan's footsteps faltered.

Lu Qingze's words fell into his ears, and the meaning changed suddenly.

Why, which girl did Lu Qing take a fancy to?

His heart was a little on fire, and he felt very unsteady as soon as he sat down, and a shadow flashed across his eyes.

These things that are full of ambitions, dare to bring people to seduce the teacher!

He really wanted to take Lu Qingze away from here immediately, far away, but rationally restrained this impulse, held back his anger, and lowered his voice: "It's just a vulgar fan, that's all."

Lu Qing clicked his tongue and taught him in a low voice: "How can you say that about other girls, they are all beautiful."

These words are like a spoonful of oil, fueling the unknown fire in Ning Juan's heart even more.

The two whispered a few words, and then they got to their seats, and everyone gave them their seats.

Ning Juan naturally sat in the first place, while Lu Qing sat under Ning Juan's left hand.

Li Xun, governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, made a toast first, blew on Ning Juan first, and then expressed the warm welcome of all the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Ning Juan. drink up.

Lu Qing was aware of his physical condition, he didn't drink alcohol, he only ate vegetables and looked at the scenery.

Hefeng Tower is located on the bank of the West Lake. In the night, silk and bamboo bursts, the breeze is gentle, the willows on the shore are lingering, and the lake water shrouded in the night is swaying with moonlight.

He was in poor health in his previous life and rarely traveled far. This was the first time he came to An and saw the West Lake with his own eyes.

When Ning Juan gained power and gained a firm foothold, he would be able to walk around.

Lu Qingze turned his head and was distracted. Ning Juan's peripheral vision fell on Lu Qingze all the time. Seeing that he didn't look at the beauties at the banquet, but looked outside, his mood was a little dizzy.

After drinking for three rounds, the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has come far away, and you haven't tasted the daughter's red, a specialty of Lin'an? Why don't you ask the little girl to offer a cup to Your Majesty."

The girl sitting obediently behind him raised her head shyly, her eyebrows and eyes were full, and her tenderness was like water.

Ning Juan tightened his grip on the wine glass, subconsciously glanced at Lu Qingze, and saw that Lu Qingze withdrew his gaze from the outside, and looked over with great interest.

Again!

Ning Juan was instantly enraged, and his face turned cold: "No need."

It fell with a sound like knocking on ice and jade, the atmosphere froze instantly, and the girl was a little at a loss.

Lu Qing stared at Ning Juan in disapproval.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why do you want to keep people from coming to power?

After receiving Lu Qingze's gaze, Ning Juan became even more depressed, but he still held back his anger, and his voice faded: "It's cold in the night, and my lord's daughters are here to blow the wind. I can't bear it, so go to the private room next door to avoid the wind. .”

After saying these words, the atmosphere became a little better, and the blush on that embarrassing girl's face also faded, but she was still a little dazed.

Only the elite officials present understood: Your Majesty is not interested in their daughter.

The new emperor is not close to women, so it seems that it is best to remove the next dancers, so as not to offend His Majesty.

All the beauties in the room retreated, but Lu Qing didn't look at it anymore, and Ning Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing the dinner, all the officials who failed to find good ones tried their best to invite His Majesty and the emperor to take a boat tour on the lake.

Fortunately, this time Ning Juan didn't refuse anymore and gave face, but Lu Qing was not able to accompany him. When he left the Hefeng Tower, he coughed softly and left the scene regretfully.

Everyone was not surprised - Lu Qing was sick at the first glance, such a medicine jar, it would be good if it could last until the end of the banquet.

Some Jin Yiwei escorted Lu Qingze back to the palace, while the rest boarded the boat.

Because of Ning Juan's arrival, the vicinity of the West Lake was emptied tonight, and there was only one boat left in the bustling night scene of the past, passing through the lotus empty.

The wind is clear, the moon is white, and it is suitable for the night, a piece of Qiongtian.

The bright moon in the West Lake under the night is very beautiful.

Even though it was a play, looking at the scenery, Ning Juan still felt a little better.

The magnificent scenery of the West Lake is well known throughout the world, and Lin'an Mansion is also Lu Qingze's hometown, so he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of it, thinking casually, after Jiangyou's affairs are over, and after worshiping his mother, he can come back and talk to the teacher Go boating on the lake.

Let the teacher take him to the place where he lived before, and let the teacher introduce him to the place where he grew up.

Just thinking about it this way, the irritability of being surrounded by a group of people with different thoughts has also disappeared a lot.

In the crowd, several dark eyes fell on Ning Juan, with some doubts in his eyes.

Did Mr. Shoufu think highly of this little emperor?

Seeing him so obsessed with amusement, it is obvious that he is a little bit reluctant to leave.

After showing his face for a while, Ning Juan returned to the palace.

In the middle of the night, the accompanying imperial physician was suddenly summoned to enter the palace hall. Soon, the news spread that His Majesty had a headache, vomiting and diarrhea.

The accompanying officials all turned pale with fright, staggered uneasy, fearing that the crime would fall on their own heads, so they hurriedly sent someone to check the Hefeng Tower.

It was not until daytime that the imperial guards guarding the palace let these officials who hadn't slept all night enter the palace.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and through a layer of gauze curtains, all the officials saw His Majesty, who was still in good spirits yesterday, lying on the bed without energy, probably because he vomited several times in the night, and his voice became hoarse: "It's just not acclimatized, don't make a fuss, all go back Bar."

Chang Shun also reassured the crowd, and personally sent the group of officials away. When he turned back, he bumped into Chen Xiaodao who came out to get the medicine. The two looked at each other, and nodded in agreement.

A line of white birds flitted across the sky.

Changshun looked up with a sullen face.

Your Majesty and Lord Lu...don't let anything happen to you two.

When Chang Shun was worried, Lu Qingze and Ning Juan, who escaped at night after showing their faces, had already entered the boundary of Jiangyou in a carriage.

The carriage drove all night, even if Chang Shun personally prepared the interior of the carriage to be soft, it would be a challenge for ordinary people to sit in the carriage for such a long time, let alone Lu Qingze who seemed to be falling apart at any time.

However, Lu Qing didn't say a word. Not long after getting into the carriage, he felt a little uncomfortable and consciously lay down to sleep wrapped in a quilt, trying to rest himself as fully as possible.

Originally, Lu Qing planned to go to Jiangyou to see the situation by himself first. Anyway, he is a well-known medicine pot, and no one would doubt it even if he said he was sick and disappeared, but Ning Juan was worried, so he chose to act together.

In addition to guarding against Wei Herong, Jiangyou's team must have also received the news that Ning Juan was going south, and sent people to keep an eye on Lin'an, fearing that the little emperor would be caught off guard and kill Jiangyou.

In order not to be suspected, Zheng Yao, Changshun, Chen Xiaodao and others had to stay in the palace in Lin'an, covering them up, so as to fool the eyes and ears of all parties—in the minds of many forces, it was inevitable that Ning Juan would go to Jiangyou I will bring Zheng Yao with me in case of accidents.

So there are not many people who can use it, and he can't fall down.

At dawn, Lu Qing woke up from the chaotic and broken dream. The carriage under him was still moving, but he didn't feel too much discomfort and fatigue.

Lu Qing always spent a lot of time waking up in the morning. After waking up for a while, he opened his eyelids, only to realize that he was in a posture that was almost lying on Ning Juan, with his arms around his waist, holding him tightly.

The boy's breath was scorching hot, enveloping him enthusiastically, and there was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body.

Most children of this age are weak in body, but Ning Juan exercises every day. His seemingly thin body is covered with a thin layer of muscles, which is solid and powerful. The movements almost tie him in his arms, so tight that Lu Qingze I can't breathe a little.

Lu Qing raised his eyes bewilderedly, and found that Ning Juan was still awake.

Is it because he is afraid that he will fall to the ground?

... No wonder I didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Lu Qingze's mood was a little complicated for a moment, His Majesty the emperor actually gave him a human cushion.

The curtains of the carriage are occasionally blown up by the wind, and a few rays of morning light leaked in, hitting obliquely on the three-dimensional facial features of the sleeping boy. His clean face was sunk in half-light, and at the junction of light and dark, he outlined a heart-stopping beauty. contour.

Lu Qing admired the beautiful boy, fearing that the thoughtful Guoguo would be crushed into juice, so he raised his hands and wanted to get off Ning Juan.

Unexpectedly, the carriage seemed to have rolled over a stone, and suddenly bumped. He had just woken up, and he had no strength at all, so he fell back with a thud, hitting Ning Juan's chin with his head, and the hands on his waist tightened suddenly. Tired hissed softly, and woke up from the slumber, his dark eyes were wet, and he felt a little innocent in pain.

Lu Qingze was also dizzy from being hit, rubbed his forehead and moaned softly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Guoguo, let me go, I'm really going to crush you."

The low moan was not intentional, it was a nasal sound with a bit of pain, and then the warm breath brushed the pinna lightly, making the roots of the ears numb.

Ning Juan felt bad almost instantly, and immediately let go.

Lu Qing had just woken up and encountered a carriage accident. His mind was still not clear, and he didn't find anything. He floated down from Ning Juan and sat down like a wandering spirit.

Ning Juan's face turned pale, his clenched fists were almost stretched out, and there was a trace of panic and boredom in his heart.

Although this is a natural reaction of the body every day - but he still ran into the teacher.

How could he attack the teacher like that idiot Ning Cong.

Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, Ning Juan looked at Lu Qingze again, and then remembered that Lu Qingze always wakes up with half a cup of tea every day after opening his eyes - Lu Qingze joked that it was "too long to restart". ".

The teacher should not have noticed.

It so happened that the carriage bumped again.

Ning Juan sat up with his forehead, and said in a cold voice, "If you are not driving properly, change to someone else."

The two traveled in secret this time, and only brought 50 people with them. As soon as ten of them arrived in Lin'an, they quietly took an experienced imperial doctor to Jiangyou, and only ten people stayed by their side and escorted them there. The rest were sent on a hunt.

——These 50 people are not Jinyiwei, but the most outstanding and loyal group selected by Ning Juan from Jinyiwei or other places. They usually only hide in the dark and are called by their surnames and rankings. The so-called "dark guards" mixed in between the imperial guards and Jinyi guards, and followed them southward.

As soon as this remark came out, the stability of the carriage improved a lot.

Lu Qing was still in a daze, and felt his jaw heat up. Ning Juan stretched out his hand, pinched his chin to force him to turn his head, and gently rubbed his forehead with the other hand. His voice was still a little hoarse when he woke up: " It’s not bad, the teacher is very light.”

This is the sentence before responding to Lu Qingze.

After a pause, he said softly, "It's red."

Lu Qing finally came to his senses, keenly feeling that everything from his tone of voice to his posture was a bit inexplicable, ambiguous and awkward.

At least this posture should not happen between teachers and students.

When he saw Ning Juan opened the hidden compartment next to him and took out a box of snow-white ointment to rub on his forehead, Lu Qing suddenly realized and cursed himself in his heart.

Dirty adults, what are you thinking!

Lu Qing was very ashamed, looked at Ning Juan's red chin, took the box of medicine, and tried to remedy it: "I'll wipe some for you too."

The teacher and the student stretched out their hands to rub the medicine on each other, sitting one tall and one short, their perspectives accidentally crossed, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

The hidden guard driving outside opened his mouth: "Master, the official road in front is blocked by officers and soldiers, and the carriage cannot leave. Do you want to rest for a while?"

Since he came secretly, he naturally couldn't reveal his identity as soon as he came, but without a printed pass, he had to change his route.

Ning Juan hummed: "It's time to rest in place for a stick of incense."

The hidden guards who followed were all on horseback. Ning Juan got out of the carriage first, went over to give some instructions, and they lit a fire where they were, and took out the dry food they carried with them to roast.

The conditions outside were no better than at home, so Lu Qing followed, casually broke a willow branch, bit it open to reveal the fibers, then brushed his teeth, wiped his face, and after finishing cleaning, warm dry food pancakes were also delivered.

The dry food was still hard after being baked, but Lu Qing could only grind it bite by bite.

When he was bullied and neglected in the cold palace when he was a child, Ning Juan even fought with a dog in order to grab food. He was not spoiled, and he didn’t feel like eating such dry food, but Lu Qing struggled to eat like a kitten. I couldn't help but wanted to order someone to get some hot food.

Lu Qing guessed Ning Juan's intentions without even looking up: "No need."

It is too time-consuming to send people to hunt and deal with it, and then wait for it to be cooked. Moreover, Jiangyou has been flooded, so clean water is very important.

Ning Juan frowned, still hesitating.

Lu Qing lifted the tails of his drooping eyes, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes were very eye-catching in the morning light: "There are sesame seeds on it, and it's delicious to chew on."

Ning Juan's heart thumped violently, and he silently looked at the tear mole in the corner of his eyes. After a while, he reached out to wipe away a sesame seed on the corner of his lips, and said in an extremely soft voice, "En."

A slightly cool finger flicked across the corner of his lips, as if he had been pecked lightly by something.

Lu Qing silently wiped his mouth.shame.

After eating half a cake, his stomach was full, so Lu Qing wrapped the rest in oil paper and put it away: "Don't waste time, let's go."

Ning Juan asked everyone to rest for half an hour, mainly to take care of him.

But he's really not that vulnerable.

Lu Qing was a little helpless, most likely because of his dying look when we first met, which left a strong shadow on Ning Juan's childhood, to this day Ning Juan still thinks that he is a crystal man who will shatter at the touch of a touch.

Where is it so exaggerated, not weak to that extent.

Ning Juan didn't waver, and put on a straight face: "Teacher, you are not joking, saying that it is the time of a stick of incense is the time of a stick of incense."

Lu Qingze: "..."

You are still joking, what about when you want me to stay with you for a few more days?

Ning Juan seemed to hear what he was thinking, and suddenly moved closer to him, her voice was very low, with a bit of coquettish stickiness that would not be shown in front of outsiders: "Teacher, I'm tired, and I want to rest for a while."

Last night Ning Juan was crushed for half the night and was in the bumpy carriage again, it was really uncomfortable.

Lu Qing glanced at him and remained silent.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and everyone was ready to go.

Because I want to divert to sneak into the right side of the river, the road is not comfortable, I need to go up the mountain, and pass through a narrow mountain road, let alone a carriage, even a horse cannot pass.

It has been raining heavily on Jiangyou for the past few days, and it rained again last night. The ground is muddy and slippery. If you don't pay attention, it will slip, so you can't walk too fast.

Once on the road, the yellow mud stained the boots and trouser legs, which were heavy and sticky, and made a squeaky sound when stepped on.

Lu Qingze and Ning Juan were caught in the middle, and Ning Juan followed Lu Qingze, carefully watching his movements.

However, Lu Qing walked unexpectedly smoothly and did not need special care.

One of the young hidden guards couldn't help but secretly raised his head, and glanced at the normally beautiful but seriously ill Emperor Shi, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Even though the trouser legs were stained with dirty mud, the young man's back was still straight, and when he turned his head sideways, he was graceful and graceful, like snow and moon, which still made people dare not look directly at him.

Suddenly, he vaguely understood why His Majesty respected and loved Lu Qingze so much.

Ning Juan's eyes darkened.

Lu Qing was very clean, and that's exactly what happened. When he first met him, he looked at those eyes without any haze, so he felt compassion and didn't let him kill him.

He didn't like anything else to dirty Lu Qingze.

Ning Juan's Adam's apple rolled, swallowing back the inexplicable emotion.

The spies who came to Jiangyou walked this road before, and went back and forth several times during this period, and found out the fastest route, and it didn't take much time to go up the mountain.

It’s just that it’s easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. Going up the mountain still has the opposite friction force. It’s different when going down the mountain. The unexplored mountain road is more slippery. Looking down from the dense forest, it’s misty and rainy, and you can’t see how far the foot of the mountain is. , if you don't pay attention to your feet, you don't know how far you will fall.

The hidden guard in front drove the road, reminding him from time to time, and for the rest of the time, there were only the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains, the sound of mixed breathing and the sound of silent and wet footsteps.

If it weren't for the narrow mountain road, Ning Juan would have wished to tie Lu Qingze to his trouser belt and walk.

Before coming here, he imagined that the aisle would be difficult to walk, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He grabbed Lu Qingze's hand in fear, fearing that he would slip, and regretted it in his heart.

Wouldn't it be good to keep Lu Qing in Lin'an, and wait until Jiang You's matter is resolved, and he will come to pick Lu Qing up again?

But he also understood that on Jiangyou's side, after investigating the situation clearly and quickly solving the batch of useless things, Lu Qingze's assistance was needed.

And... In his heart, he just wanted Lu Qing to be with him at any time.

The conflict in his heart made Ning Juan purse his lips, frown, and increase the strength in his hands.

Lu Qing noticed it, and thought that Ning Juan was afraid. He wondered if the child was afraid of heights, so he squeezed his hand lightly to comfort him, and turned his head while resting on a slightly flat place. , with gentle eyes, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: Don't look down.

Ning Juan was stunned for a moment, realizing that Lu Qing had misunderstood, her long eyelashes drooped, she showed a shallow smile, and nodded.

Why is the teacher so good.

It was almost evening, and all the people went down the mountain road.

The dark guard who came to Jiangyou ahead of time was waiting at the foot of the mountain, readying the carriage, horses and new clothes.

After passing this hurdle, we have to move on.

Fortunately, Jiangyou's local troops are not so abundant, and there will be no checkpoints between the prefectures and counties - if Jiangyou has such a sufficient army, then there will probably be another problem for this trip.

Lu Qing and Ning Juan changed their muddy clothes, got into the carriage, and continued to drive to Ji'an Mansion.

After walking for nearly a day, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired, while Lu Qing was almost at the end of his battle, biting the remaining half of a hard pancake, swallowing two mouthfuls, leaning against the side wall, and fell asleep without knowing it.

Ning Juan was very distressed, and gently hooked him into his arms to lie down. Lu Qing hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when he sensed the movement, he murmured in a daze: "My cake..."

This sound made Ning Juan laugh again, he put away the half cake and put it away again, and said with a smile: "It's put away, teacher, rest assured and sleep."

The muscles of the legs on which the head was resting were firm and not soft, but they were much more comfortable than leaning against the cold wooden wall. Lu Qing turned his head to the side, breathing gradually evenly.

Ning Juan took off his coat and covered him, thought for a while, then covered his ears with his hands, and then called the dark guard to come up to question him.

The dark guard who came up didn't even dare to take a look at the posture of the two of them. He lowered his head and lowered his voice, and reported the situation on the right side of the river: "The heavy rain continued, and many places along the Gan River broke banks, and the number of victims continued to increase. There are tens of thousands of people. , not counting casualties."

Ning Juan's eyes were cold: "Is the embankment still breaking? Is the magistrate on the right side of the river dead?"

"Returning to the master, there are a few county prefects who wanted to report to the imperial court by leapfrogging, so they were detained and imprisoned. There are only a few left, and they are exhausted. Checkpoints were set up spontaneously to refuse refugees."

Ning Juan frowned, even if he wished to drag out this group of corpses and chop them up, he could only press the cold killing intent first, and asked one of the most important questions at the moment: "Does Doctor Chen have any countermeasures against the epidemic? "

According to the information obtained so far, where the floods pass and the epidemic is widespread, the infected people will not show symptoms at first, but after a few days, they will gradually develop different symptoms such as chills, fever, and diarrhea, and then they will be covered in red rashes and faint. After death, seven out of ten people died, and the survivors were less than three floors. Even if the flood did not drown people, the ensuing plague would still kill people.

"Not yet." The dark guard lowered his head.

The several imperial physicians brought southward were all Ning Juan’s people. They had a secret discussion on the way based on the illness, but they were at a loss if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, so Ning Juan ordered ten secret guards to escort an imperial physician over first.

It will take some time to deal with Jiang You and let the people of Lin'an Mansion come over in a fair manner.

Ning Juan took a breath, remembering what Lu Qingze said, with a calm and calm voice: "Have you found the person who asked you to step up your search?"

The dark guard buried his head even lower: "Not yet."

"Send people to look for them again. In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangyou areas, dig up and down, dig three feet and find them for me."

"Yes!"

Ning Juan looked down at Lu Qingze, displeased: "Keep down."

"...Yes." The dark guard whispered.

Driving all the way quickly, when Lu Qing woke up from exhaustion, the carriage had stopped, Ning Juan was not in the carriage, and there was the faint sound of water around.

The soreness all over his body made him wake up much faster this time.

Lu Qing rubbed his temples, lowered his head, only to realize that he was still wrapped in Ning Juan's robe.In this critical period, this is already the most comfortable material that the dark guards can find, but it is still not as good as the one in the palace.

But his child didn't frown.

Lu Qing smiled, opened the curtain, and looked out. Ten hidden guards were guarding outside, and the carriage was parked on a road. The sky was dark, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.

Lu Qing took off his coat, got out of the carriage, and looked around. Ning Juan was not sitting by the fire, but was standing by the road with his hands behind his back.

The young man stared at the distance without blinking. Because the sky was already dark, he could only see that it seemed to be a lake. Under the night, the dark water reflected inconspicuous dark light, like a piece of irregular surface that refracted light. black crystal.

Ning Juan was so engrossed that he didn't even notice that Lu Qing had come to his side.

Or maybe he noticed it, but he was very relieved that Lu Qingze could let him come to him.

Lu Qing raised his hand to put the robe on Ning Juan, his voice was still a little hoarse after waking up: "What are you looking at?"

Ning Juan still stared at that place for a while, then suddenly said: "Teacher, there was originally a village there."

Lu Qingze's fingertips paused.

He also fell silent, staring at the flooded village with Ning Juan for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Your Majesty, looking at all this, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about reassuring the people." Ning Juan's voice was very soft, but concealed a dark and cold killing intent, "Kill chickens to scare monkeys."

The author has something to say:
