No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 258
Since the Digong gate collapsed, after the great flood.

Jiangzhou Longcheng County quickly recovered its vitality before the flood.

As a young county magistrate said to his colleagues in the county government: if the land is lost, all land is lost; if the land is lost, all land remains.

What's more, in the current Longcheng County, there is a broken wing canal that "turns decay into magic".

Except for some small villages in the upper valley of Butterfly Creek, which were immediately visited by the flood, most of the downstream Longcheng County and surrounding towns were intact.

So on the second day after the great flood, the people of Longcheng who took refuge on Dagu Mountain went down the mountain with their families and their mouths happily.

The sun rises as usual, and the county's farmers, farmers, businessmen and commerce also work as usual.

Even if it is the peaceful and prosperous world that the court of Wei and Zhou preached, you have to work hard and have a full meal before looking forward to it, right?
Most people don't know that the more than ten years of flooding in Longcheng County has given birth to the "Ding Sword".

This is a rich and colorful stroke that can be recorded in the history books of this dynasty, and it is also a "myth" that people all over the world will talk about once it is spread out. , once again became famous all over the world.

But even if they knew, in the eyes of most people in Longcheng, this "cauldron sword" is still not as mythical as the Zhanyi Canal built by a comatose county magistrate of Radish.

Wei Zhou, the first year of the holy calendar, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the canal with broken wings is completed, and the dragon city will never be flooded.

Longcheng County Chronicles must have this sum.

As for the long aftermath of the birth of the Cauldron Sword on this day, it has nothing to do with the majority of the people in Longcheng. Right now they are more worried about the coma and injury of a certain young county magistrate who is faintly rumored in the market...

In Longcheng County, Penglangdu Wharf was repaired soon after the flood.

The sky is clear today, and the pier has once again returned to its former bustle.

Bustling with traffic.

A large ship from Jiangzhou City docked quietly, not too conspicuous at the hot ferry.

The big ship stopped at Penglangdu for a while, and a beautiful figure boarded the deck. After a little tilt, it sailed away, faintly heading towards Songlindu.

In the eyes of everyone at the pier, this itinerary was not unusual.

Songlin Ferry is close to Dagu Mountain, and Donglin Temple on the mountain is also a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River. Many tourists from other places come to Longcheng to worship Buddha from thousands of miles away.

After Zhayi Canal is repaired, there is no need to disembark at Penglangdu, and it is more convenient to go to Songlindu at the end of Zhaiyi Canal to climb mountains and worship Buddha.

Xie Lingjiang was wearing a plain white dress today, very clean and simple.

Not as bright red as in the past.

In addition, she is relatively rare wearing a white gauze cap.

The length of the hazy gauze reaches to the white and thin neck, covering the beautiful face of peachy and willow in the past.

Xie Lingjiang silently boarded the Jiangzhou boat.

There is a group of Confucian scholars and scholars on board, many of them wear deer-shaped jade rings on their waists, with a clear and bright spirit.

At this moment, even the slender girl who boarded the boat at Penglangdu covered her face with a veiled hat, she was immediately recognized by everyone, and they hurriedly greeted her:

"Young junior sister is here? The teacher is waiting for you at the bow."

"How is little junior sister?"

Everyone chattered and greeted enthusiastically. Xie Lingjiang seemed to be in a daze today. He didn't stop to pass by.

Xie Xun is a great Confucianist in the world, he was raised by nobles, and most of his entourage brought his direct disciples.

Ouyang Lianghan was also listed in this list, but he passed the imperial examination and was successfully graduated.

At this moment, some of the academy students who accompanied the ship were familiar with this teacher's only daughter, a junior with five surnames, some were not, and some wanted to be familiar with her.

In the past, when Xie Lingjiang hadn't practiced in Dragon City, Xie Lingjiang really liked being by Father's side.

Being a tsundere little junior sister who is loved by thousands of people and highly sought after, it feels good to get along with senior brothers, hugging each other.

But now, I only feel a fleeting moment, and my heart suddenly feels uncomfortable and impatient.

Right now, under Xie Lingjiang's signal, the Jiangzhou boat sailed towards Songlin Ferry again.

Walking to the bow of the boat riding the wind and waves, Xie Lingjiang saw his father.

Xie Xun stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking around at both sides of the Butterfly Creek. Beside him was a disciple with a serious face in Chinese characters, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and lowering his head to draw on a stretched blue silk silk.

"Wuhou is here?"

"Ah."

Xie Lingjiang's voice was also a little hoarse.

When Xie Xun heard it, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at his daughter.

It was found that her veil had not been removed.

Xie Lingjiang turned his head and glanced at the silk scroll in the hand of senior brother Guozilian next to him.

The faint corner I saw seemed to be depicting a canal with broken wings.

"Zhongchang, you go down first." Xie Xun tilted his head, tapped his fingers, and instructed the eldest disciple in a serious tone: "After painting this canal, send it to the Tongping Zhangshifu in Luodu immediately, and you go in person."

"is teacher."

The square-faced young man bowed his hands to accept the order, turned around, nodded slightly to Xie Lingjiang, and stepped back.

Xie Lingjiang looked sideways at the silk scroll that was taken away.

Tongping Zhangshi, the full name of Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi, is the right prime minister of the dynasty.

"Seeing is believing."

All the people in the bow of the boat retreated, leaving only the wife, father and daughter.Xie Xun turned around with his hands behind his back and sighed:
"I heard Liang Han casually mention Zhanyi Canal in his letters before, but today I sailed here and saw it with my own eyes all the way, only then did I know the wonder of this canal, which is not as understated as in the letter.

"Since Lianghan took office, in just a few months, this county and this stream have had such a new look."

He stroked his beard and looked around, sighing:
"I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and I have seen a lot of water conservancy construction. When I reported it, the local officials talked about it. On the spot, it is just old wine in a new bottle.

"Only Lianghan built this canal, which is really unheard of. It solves the flood problem wonderfully, treats the symptoms and cures the root cause, and changes the bad hydrology of Butterfly Creek. Before that, Longcheng was ranked among the top three places in the south of the Yangtze River... Lianghan's water management, It's really ingenious."

The elder brother was recognized and praised by his father, Xie Lingjiang felt that he should be happy, but he was just depressed.

She was silent for a while, looked in the direction of Dagu Mountain, and asked, "What did Father just send?"

Xie Xun said with a smile: "Go and show the master, the sluice he built is no longer useful. The old man is proud of his disciples and built a more effective one. This is called talented people from generation to generation, haha."

Xie Lingjiang said "oh", his face was in a daze.

Xie Xun laughed alone for a while, and found that he was a little embarrassed, so he restrained himself, looked at his daughter's expression twice, frowned slightly and asked:

"Is Lianghan seriously injured?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded, then shook his head again: "It's already stabilized, and I'm cultivating in Donglin Temple."

"That's good." Xie Xun nodded, and let out a long breath: "The abbot of Donglin Temple, Shandao, has superb medical skills. The last time Lianghan drowned, it was the master's action..."

After a pause, he coughed, and asked calmly, "Why don't you stay in Longcheng for a while, stay by Elder Brother Ni's side, and take care of him?"

Xie Lingjiang hesitated to speak.

Just enough to click, but Xie Xun saw his daughter's face was troubled, and said that she didn't want to think about the marriage of men and women, so he didn't mention it any more.

Xie Xun raised his head again, and suddenly asked: "It was inconvenient to write letters before, but what happened that day was planned by Mrs. Wei, so tell me in detail what you know, did Mrs. Wei get the tripod sword?

"For my father, I received many reports in Jiangzhou. Right now, Dragon City is mixed with fish and dragons. Many forces were attracted by hindsight. What happened that day?"

Xie Lingjiang looked at Father's serious expression, hesitated for a while, and told what he had seen and heard one by one.

Just listening, Xie Xun's hand stroking his beard stopped, his eyebrows not loosened.

When he heard that Qiu Shenji descended suddenly and Xie Lingjiang was trapped in Leichi, Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath.

But the news that shocked him even more was still to come.

"Wuhou, you mean that Lianghan has become the sword holder? Dingjian recognizes him as the master?!"

Xie Xun couldn't help interrupting his daughter who was slowly recalling the narration, and widened his eyes:
"Didn't Lianghan be taken hostage by Liu Zilin to save people? Why did you become a sword bearer when you saw him again? How did he intercept Hu Dingjian from Yunmeng Nujun and Qiu Shenji, and so on, He also killed Qiu Shenji with the tripod sword?"

Xie Lingjiang stopped talking, and quietly looked at the shocked father through the white gauze. It wasn't that the father was shocked, but that no matter how good his energy cultivation skills were, he couldn't stand the truth.

After a while, Xie Xun suddenly calmed down, and looked at Xie Lingjiang peacefully, thoughtfully:
"The tripod sword is indescribably wonderful. Maybe he is a man of great vigor, who is free for a few days in the dark, or maybe he has noble people to help..."

He sighed to the sky:
"Lianghan, Lianghan, as a teacher, I know that you are extraordinary. The strategic theory in the study room and the practical ability of disaster relief and flood control are already a talent for killing, but I didn't expect that, It’s still a little bit of a distraction, the person with the power of the cauldron sword just needs the golden core to make up for the talent of Qi training... With this talent and opportunity, he is more and more like a master..."

"Eldest senior brother is a senior senior brother, not anyone." Xie Lingjiang said suddenly.

Xie Xun nodded without thinking, and suddenly realized:
"Wait, what about the people from the Wei family? They have been plotting secretly for many years. Under the guise of giving birthday gifts, they are trying to get the tripod sword before our eyes... Qiu Shenji is dead, so Wei Shao, the son of King Wei Xuan, where are those bastards? Where did they go? Is the tripod sword that Lianghan obtained related to them?"

Xie Lingjiang bowed his head and said in a low voice:

"I don't know, Sister Wrap'er may know something. She came to save me with Elder Brother. Elder Brother may have saved her first, but after the incident, Sister Wrap'er kept her mouth shut and didn't reveal a single word. Maybe she has to wait for Elder Brother to wake up." Ask again."

Speaking of what happened that day, she was still sad.

Seeing that Father hadn't spoken for a while, Xie Lingjiang raised his head, frowned and said, "Daughter really doesn't know, she's not hiding it for senior brother... But there's also something strange, senior brother seems to be able to change into Wei Shaoxuan... This kind of big event is of course prepared in advance, and it is easy to do bad things if it is concealed privately."

"It's good that you know." Xie Xun's face was surprisingly serious:

"It's just a little strange. From the day of the [-]th day to when I came to Longcheng as my father, the informant reported that Wei's side was quiet and there was no violent storm. Could it be that Wei Shaoxuan and others are still fine now? "

After pondering for a moment, the matter is of great importance, Xie Xun shook his head:
"No, you have to prepare in advance. Let's just treat Wei Shaoxuan and the others. They were all dealt with by Lianghan... Lianghan is now in a coma. I will stay in Longcheng for a few more days as a teacher and deal with the tail. If there are traces, wipe them off early. Go, especially those clues on Dagu Mountain, you have to clean it up... It’s hard work that this mountain used to be the gate of the Lotus Sect, and it shields the hope."

Xie Lingjiang bowed his head and said, "Over there in the scripture-copying hall, my daughter has already dealt with it once."

"Good job." Xie Xun asked again: "Now that Liang Han is the sword holder of the Xinding Sword, and he killed Qiu Shenji, who else knows except you and me?"

"Sister Li. She has a very strict mouth. She probably didn't tell anyone else from Li's family, let alone outsiders. But even if she told Uncle Li and the others, it would be fine. Uncle Li's family now trusts and relies on the elder brother very much. kill him."

"That's good... This matter is extraordinary, continue to block the news, and don't tell anyone else."

"Of course my daughter knows."

Xie Xun, who lowered his head in thought, frowned: "Why are you looking at me as a father?"

Xie Lingjiang lowered his eyes: "Father, what do you plan to do? Do you want to talk to Luoyang..."

"What kind of tone are you talking about? Don't hide your words, and try to be a father." Xie Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's smart to follow your senior brother."

Xie Xun let out a long sigh about the matter of being proud of his apprentice, with an extremely serious expression:

"Don't worry, as long as Wei's side doesn't respond to this matter, and the court doesn't turn upside down, my father won't talk to Luoyang side. Unless it's really hard to cover up, it's hard to protect Lianghan, so we can only Go to Master for help..."

He nodded and said: "How about the specifics? When Lianghan wakes up, discuss with him as a teacher. There are some things that should have been told to him long ago."

"Father, don't you worry about Master?" Xie Lingjiang asked softly.

"The master is upright and upright, and his heart is for the great cause, but at the moment the guarantor faction in the court is not united. There are loyal ministers with firm beliefs, villains who seek to get rich, and unreliable Li clan members who are holding back, and there are simple hostile guards. Not to mention, if Lianghan's prediction is not bad, and the emperor's heart is as he said, there may be some differences between the two princes in the future... Sigh."

Xie Xun murmured:
"Lianghan is only at the ninth rank now. It is not a good thing to reveal the identity of the sword holder too early, especially the new tripod sword. If the Wei family goes all out to deal with him, the master may not be able to keep it... It cannot be publicized. , unless absolutely necessary."

"Father is still thoughtful."

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help saying.

Xie Xun nodded slowly: "Let's go, first go to Donglin Temple to visit Lianghan, I begged for some medicine, I don't know if it will be useful... After Lianghan wakes up, I will ask him about his wishes, and about Li Xian's family. Ask him about his choice..."

Xie Lingjiang didn't know what to think of, and felt a little lost: "Father is always such a gentleman. When making any decisions involving others, he always thinks of others and respects their wishes."

Although it was a compliment, her tone was low and lost. She covered her face with a hat, making it difficult to see her expression, and murmured: "I asked my daughter's wishes..."

Xie Xun finally sensed something was wrong, and asked curiously, "Wu Hou is in a bad mood today? What do you mean by saying that?"

"No...it's fine."

"By the way, Houhou hasn't said yet, how Lianghan's injury is, and what famous doctor did he invite to stabilize his injury."

Xie Lingjiang averted his eyes: "It's just... There is a person who is considered to be a relative of the senior brother to help take care of it."

"Are you talking about Mrs. Zhen, or someone from another hometown?" Xie Xun asked.

Before Xie Lingjiang finished organizing his speech, the boat arrived at Songlindu.

A group of people disembarked immediately, and after a while, they walked up the mountain to enter the temple, and finally arrived at a familiar Sanhui Temple.

"Why are you walking so slowly? Didn't you stay here all the time? Won't you lead the way for your father?"

Outside the courtyard, Xie Xun turned his head and asked curiously. Xie Lingjiang bit his lip and bowed his head, stepped forward silently, and pushed open the door.

Xie Xun lifted his foot to enter the door. As soon as he entered the room, he suddenly felt the temperature inside was cold, as if stepping from the dog days into the cold winter of New Year's Eve. When he turned his head and looked, his expression froze for a moment.

In the back room, in front of the lover's bed, there was a strange and thin figure of a young girl, who was applying hot mist towels to him, taking care of Ouyang Lianghan personally.

By the window not far from the sickbed, there was still a blond fox-white Qiu Huji standing sideways at the movements of the slender girl, with a very worried expression on her face...
