Wenzhen's school examination and military parade was not notified in advance, so the local officials in Hangzhou didn't even have time to prepare.Once the soldiers are pulled out, well, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are all gone.

It's not that the local military officers haven't made preparations for the emperor's possible military parade. Both the Eight Banners Soldiers and the Green Battalion each have a few teams that can serve as facade projects.

But although Wen Zhen has never led a soldier, he is clear about the basic common sense and tricks in it.In the Jiangnan area, the most bandits are usually suppressed, and they just beat Japanese pirates. Although those people are extremely vicious, they are all idle troops. It can be done, so the phenomenon of empty pay and false reporting of military achievements is extremely serious.

Generally speaking, the military parade is separated from the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Battalion. Most of the things that show their faces in front of the emperor like this belong to the Eight Banners Army. Therefore, their armors were polished and shiny before the Holy Driver came, and some Green Battalion soldiers were even mobilized. To recharge, get together and walk the queue a few times.

However, Wen Zhen didn't follow the rules at all. When the military parade was drawn, the two sides went together directly, and the time was set very tight. Qi Yuan's number of people, even in a panic, doesn't care whether it is old, weak, sick or disabled, as long as it is a person, it can be included.

Therefore, on the parade ground, you can see those with full armor and equipment, and some with a wooden weapon for usual practice.It would be even worse when they took the school riding and shooting test again. There were still people who couldn't draw a bow and couldn't mount a horse.

Not to mention Wen Zhen, even Zhou Sheng's face was crooked, greed is one thing, at least don't go too far!This is the second time he regrets why he came here from the governor's office in Wenzhou to be scolded.

Wen Zhen couldn't bear to watch that embarrassing scene any longer, and left in a huff after saying "the arrow is shot in vain, and the rider falls to the ground".When he got angry, West Lake didn't want to swim anymore, and set off directly towards Haining again.

Wenzhen is really depressed. It has only been less than 50 years since the founding of the country, and the government has become so corrupt. Even the army is like this. The biggest piece of fat, the river worker, has been exploited by many people. He was really worried.

You must know that his worry is not unreasonable. Haining is connected to Hangzhou in the west and Qiantang River in the south. It is a famous tide-watching place all over the country.At that time, there were three entrances and exits for tides in the Qiantang River Estuary. When the tides came, only when the mainstream went through the small and middle gates would there be few tide disasters on both sides of the river.To make matters worse, once the levee in Haining is washed away, the most affluent areas in the country, such as the neighboring Suzhou, Hangzhou and Jiaxing, will be submerged by sea water. Among the dykes repaired this time, the construction of the embankment in this area has received the most money.

Wen Zhen's worried appearance made the two children who were in the same car with him cautiously afraid to make a sound, which made Ning Yunjin very remorseful. He should have known that he should hide in his carriage under the excuse of his incompatibility.

Finally, when it was time for a break, Hong Ming found Ning Yunjin, and said reluctantly, "Aren't you the best flatterer? There's nothing you can do to make Father feel better?"

"Putting up! Your Highness, where has the villain flattered the emperor?" Ning Yunjin said innocently.

Hong Ming stared at him with an expression that you understand, but it's a pity that Ning Yunjin's face is much thicker than his, and he was completely indifferent, as if he had been insulted.

Thinking of his status as a quasi-grandmaster, Hong Ming would not be able to offend people to death—at least he couldn’t do it before he ascended the throne himself, so he could only say, "I don’t care, Father doesn’t know why you are worried about it now, you have to find a way Go make him happy."

Ning Yunjin looked at him speechlessly, "Your Highness, it's better for you to do such a thing as your son!"

If Gu can do it, do you still need to beg you, a villain!Hong Ming pursed his lips in depression, gave him an unhappy look, turned around and left angrily.

Fortunately, Wen Zhen's mood eased up after lunch. In order to divert his mood, he picked up the book and began to test the homework of the two primary schools, which made the two who were originally energetic go weak.

Haining borders Hangzhou. They walked along the river embankment, and after taking a rest in Yancang, they planned to spend the night in Yanguan Town, which is the seat of Haining County after all.

On the way, Wen Zhen would occasionally ask people to stop on the embankment to check the situation. The more he looked at it, the worse his complexion became. Although the embankment seemed to be built very high, and willow trees were planted as required, in some places it was easy for people to step on it. There is a subsidence.

Zhou Sheng, who had been driving behind him all the time, looked at this bean curd project, and his whole body was already numb, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.

Serving It Like the Sea Looking at the water level of the river, he said worriedly to Wen Zhen, "Your Majesty, the water level is exceptionally high this year. Judging from the situation, if there is a high tide, it may not be able to stop it."

Wen Zhen didn't know it, he frowned and said, "Let people drive faster, I'm going to visit Yanguan Town."

"Your Majesty can't." Zhou Sheng, who already knew that he probably couldn't wear a black veil, was startled, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's high tide these few days, or...or..."

Wen Zhen glared at him angrily, "I'd like to see the first line of Hengjiang, which is a wonder in the world."

Seeing the emperor board the carriage, Zhou Sheng was so worried!Today is the best day for watching the tide on August [-]th. The river is only three kilometers away in Yanguan Township, and you can see "a tidal wave across the river". The problem is that as long as there is an emergency... He could hardly imagine it.

It's a pity that Wen Zhen's will cannot be changed by him, and who can stop the emperor insisting on going.

Maybe it's because too many things have upset him recently, Ning Yunjin noticed that Wen Zhen's complexion seemed a little grey, it was really a little gray, and his brows began to frown as if he was enduring something, it seemed that he was a little unwell.This made him both excited and excited. Could it be that today is the day when something goes wrong! ?

A group of people soon arrived at Yanguan Town. At this time, a lot of people had gathered beside the embankment, and it seemed that they all came for today's high tide.Although the local county magistrate got the news that they had cleared a road for imperial drivers, they couldn't drive away all the people beside the embankment.

At this time, the magnificent Qiantang tide can already be seen, and the waves are spectacular and atmospheric, which makes the people present exclaim from time to time.The tides these few times were not very strong, so Wen Zhen asked Zhou Sheng to point out the newly built embankments for him.

It was the first time for Hong Ming to see such a spectacular scene. Although he followed Wen Zhen, his eyes were attracted by the tide from time to time.

When they came to an apparently newly built embankment, suddenly a woman yelled and cried towards the river, "My son, my son fell... Please help me, please help me! he."

The local dialect she spoke, Wen Zhen and his group were mostly northerners could not understand this dialect at all, but they were a little uncomfortable being yelled at, so their attention was attracted to her.At this moment, a sudden rain of arrows shot towards them.

Ning Yunjin has been paying attention to the surrounding situation with his eyes and ears listening to all directions. When he saw the arrow, he pulled the prince beside him and fell down by himself.

Hong Ming's attention was always on the tide, and he was suddenly pulled by the person he hated the most. He was so angry that he actually stood firm with a lot of perseverance.But he was unlucky at this stop. You must know that these arrows naturally went towards Wen Zhen, who had the clearest target, and as the crown prince, he was the closest to the emperor.

Wen Zhen had already shot down some of the arrows that were coming towards him, but he dodged the rest with his body skills. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two arrows that were clearly shot crookedly and were about to hit his son. It was too late, he stretched out his left arm to block the two arrows without the slightest hesitation.

His actions seemed to remind the assassins who were ambushing at the side. The second wave of arrows was divided into three parts, one shot at the crown prince, one shot at Wen Zhen, and the other most of them were naturally aimed at the other accompanying ministers. , preventing them from getting close to Wen Zhen for escort.

If the arrows were all aimed at him, it would be easier to block, but if he wanted to distract Hong Ming to protect Hong Ming, no matter how advanced Wen Zhen's martial arts were, it would be a little difficult, especially if one of the arrows was ruthless and accurate, and seemed to have predictability. , focusing on Wenzhen's must-save place.

After two waves of arrows, the escorting soldiers finally moved, and Wen Zhen's personal bodyguards also dealt with the arrows and only leaned over. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before these assassins could be dealt with.But when people are unlucky, drinking water will get stuck between their teeth. At this moment, a wave of unprecedented waves hit the embankment directly.

Wen Zhen quickly hugged Hong Ming, and was hit by the huge wave with a muffled groan, and then someone exclaimed and screamed.

"The embankment has collapsed!"

"Run!"

Wave after wave hit, what was supposed to be a spectacular spectacle turned into a catastrophe.The newly built embankment where Wen Zhen and the others were standing was the first to collapse. When encountering such a huge wave that humans could not resist, he could only hold his son tightly and follow the current.

Wen Zhen only felt that he was hit by the water waves and hit a big rock. His injured hand touched something, and it was so painful that he could no longer grasp Hong Ming.The dazzling yellow color of the two of them was an obvious target, but the moment the water wave receded a little, an arrow shot towards them again.

As northerners, both Wenzhen and his father are landlubbers. They already have some instinctive awe of such a fierce water flow, and they also have to face the endless attacks of assassins. Even if Hongming is precocious, he can only hide behind Wenzhen. Try not to mess with him.

The water flow seemed to be calmer, and it was even receding. Wen Zhen leaned against the stone and concentrated on dealing with the arrow. At this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be danger in the water coming towards him.It's just that it was too late at this time, a man in a black suit had already stabbed him with a dagger.

There is an arrow above, facing a fierce dagger, Wen Zhen originally had the confidence to protect his son, but just when he was about to push the man back, suddenly his internal strength could not be raised, and he could only watch helplessly. Seeing the dagger pierced into his waist, he didn't care about the embarrassment and relied on his movements to resist, and then he was stabbed a few times in his hands, feet and chest.

Just when the man was viciously trying to end Wen Zhen, who was already powerless to resist, suddenly his eyes widened and he froze.When he turned his head slowly, he realized that a little bean was pulling a knife out of his body.

Ning Yunjin kicked the man away, put a small dagger in his waist, grabbed Wen Zhen with one hand, and Hong Ming with the other, "Breathe in."

His instruction was really inexplicable, Hong Ming took a step back, and finally saw a huge wave that was bigger than before. knew.
