The rain continued, the river water surged, and the river water was surging outside the city. Fortunately, the newly built river embankment was completed before the rainy season, so that the river water could be kept out of the city in time. But even so, Xu Shao, the governor of Quan Xunyang County, still did not dare to take it lightly.

He was young and energetic, and even though he was walking around the city every day, he still didn't feel tired. At this moment, Xu Shao was wearing a straw raincoat and stood on the river embankment, listening to the officials responsible for the safety of this section of the river embankment to report on the water situation.

He and his officials managed the Hukou in an orderly manner, and organized the people and garrisons to take turns to serve on the river embankment. Once a dangerous situation occurs, they must immediately block the entrance and do their best to protect the river embankment.

If the large area of ​​farmland outside the city of Shuokou is flooded, it is likely that the harvest will be poor or even the harvest will be completely eliminated this year.

With the experience of managing the water in Xiyang County and Badong County of Huangzhou, Xu Shao was very confident in keeping the Tangkou River Dike. The nearly eight years of experience as a prefecture and county official allowed Xu Shao to handle all the complicated affairs of Tangkou City with ease.

“Is the water level still rising?”

"Yes, it seems that it will take a few days to rise, but our newly built river embankment can withstand it."

"It's still rising... what's the increase?" Xu Shao stomped his feet hard, trying to see if the river embankment under his feet was stable. Although he couldn't actually try this, he had to stomp a few feet so that he could sleep at night.

"The increase has slowed down. I guess that the water level should fall in about four or five days."

Xu Shao nodded when he heard this. These officials were all transferred from Badong County. Xiyang County also transferred people to help. He accumulated rich experience in water control while in Huangzhou, and was also aware of the roots and bottom lines, so there was no case of concealing and not reporting.

He explained some precautions. Xu Shao returned to the city in the rain. He has been very busy, but now he is even busier. Not only should he pay attention to the safety of the river embankment, but he also has to receive guests. Four days ago, a special guest arrived at Zhuangkou, which made him a little confused.

It was the distinguished guest of the marshal of Lingnan Road and the distinguished guest of King Yuwen of Xiyang. It didn't sound strange. The key was that the distinguished guest was a woman, led by Zhang Ding, the Sima of the King of Xiyang, and passed by Fengkou all the way north from Fanyu, and continued to move upstream to Xiyang, Huangzhou Prefecture.

Xu Shao originally thought that this girl was a slang leader in Lingnan. After all, there was a respected Lady Xian in Lingnan, so it was no wonder that she would have another female leader. But when he went to the Chuanshe to meet the other party that day, the girl said that the girl was speaking in a northern accent Chinese.

She looks pretty and has a dignified temperament in every move. This girl seems to have seen big scenes, and she treats people gracefully and generously, and her identity is really suspicious.

At first he thought it was the confidante Yuwen met by a coincidence, but it didn't look like it. Xu Shao would not ask in private without much trouble, nor would he dare to slack off.

In his letter, King Yuwen of Xiyang asked Xu Shao to receive this distinguished guest and arranged a boat to take the other party to Xiyang. Since there was a solemn explanation, Xu Shao must of course be more careful.

After Xu Shao entered the city, he did not go to the house to pass on the house, but went to the north city tower because the distinguished guest had to go upstairs to see the river view in the past few days.

Zhang Ding, the Prince of Xiyang, led people to guard the north city tower. Seeing Xu Shao coming over, he exchanged greetings with him and went upstairs together.

The daughter-in-law Yuwen sat by the window and looked at the river view. The wind was strong by the river, but the wind was much smaller at this time. She turned her head and looked at Xu Shao and asked, "Xu Fujun, when can I board the ship and set off?"

"Girl, it's rainy season now, it's rainy for more than a month, the river water has skyrocketed, and the water flows are turbulent, so it's not suitable to sail. The official ordered the boatman to check the water situation today and make sure that the boat cannot sail at least today and tomorrow."

"But, aren't there many ships on the river sailing?" After saying that, Princess Qianjin looked out the window again, and saw that in the misty rain, many ships on the river were approaching from upstream to the entrance.

"Girl, that's the official army. He was ordered to move to Jiangzhou by boat from Jiangbei. The military orders were like mountains, regardless of wind and rain. Even if it was dangerous, he had to arrive as scheduled."

"That's it..." Princess Qianjin murmured to herself as she looked at Jiang Jing outside the window, as if she had remembered something, and asked again: "Xu Fujun, these soldiers were transferred to Lingnan by the King of Xiyang?"

Xu Shao didn't know how to answer this kind of question, and it was related to military operations that he could not reveal any words to the idle people. Moreover, the other party should not be qualified to know such a thing, but he was a distinguished guest of the King of Xiyang, so it seemed that it was not good to refuse.

He was considering the words, but he caught a glimpse of Zhang Ding who was beside him nodding slightly, and then he realized in his heart: "Girl, Jiangzhou and Lingnan are newly affiliated places, with a distance of more than two thousand miles from north to south. The original troops were insufficient, so naturally he needed to mobilize troops to garrison the important places to avoid the trouble of a small man."

He did not say whether these official troops were going to Lingnan, but said that they were stationed in important places in various places in case of changes. Without revealing the secret, Xu Shao gave a vague answer.

Princess Qianjin nodded and asked again: "Is the rainy season in Jiangnan the whole country like this? Can it rain for more than half a month?"

"Yes, it's rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, it's like this in Jiangzhou, and it's also the Hanjin area in the upper reaches."

"What about the Sanwu downstream? Is it raining all the time like a drooling mouth?"

“It should be.”

"Then the government troops will not be able to defeat Jiankang in the rain, right?"

"Uh..." Xu Shaoyou glanced at Zhang Ding, and saw that he still nodded slightly, and could only continue to answer vaguely: "As of today, Shuokou has not received the certificate of victory."

It’s suspicious to care about military affairs so much. This girl’s identity is really suspicious!

Xu Shao thought so, but he remained calm and continued to talk to the other party. He didn't think the other party was Chen Guo's careful work, because someone was meticulous in every day, and it was impossible for him to be fooled by meticulous intent.

After a while, Xu Shao took his leave, Zhang Ding left with him. Seeing the Sima of the royal palace with a stern face, leaving, Anis, who was standing beside him wearing a veil, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat next to Princess Qianjin and asked with concern: "Children, aren't you uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine."

Princess Qianjin smiled. Her complexion was much better than when she was in Fanyu. The medicine Yuwen Wen prepared for her was very effective. She took it domestically and externally for more than a month and had never taken it again. She was getting better and better. It can be said that she had completely quit her drug addiction.

"Sanjin, this river is really wide, even wider than the two rivers outside the Taixi lockdown."

"This river is called the Yangtze River. It divides the Central Plains into two sides. It has been confrontation between the north and the south for hundreds of years, so it is also called the Tianqian."

"But King Xiyang is already far away from this south of the Yangtze River." Agnes's problems continued. After all, this is a place called "Central Plains" in the distant east, and many things seemed very interesting to her.

"The Central Plains may be unified, and then the Northern Dynasties will no longer be divided into the Southern Dynasties..."

Princess Qianjin looked at the misty rain outside and was a little distracted. She probably knew that fighting on rainy days was not easy, especially in the Yangtze River area, it would be very troublesome to rain heavily during wars. In this way, the progress of the official army's attack on the capital of Chen Guoguo Jiankang may become slow.

The northerners are good at riding horses, while the southerners are good at sailing. The rivers and lakes will surge when it rains, which is conducive to Chen's organization of defense. The princess of Qianjin is worried that the Zhou army, who is fighting in Jiangnan, may suffer.

However, this has nothing to do with her. King Yuwen of Xiyang sent someone to escort her and Anis to Yecheng. The identity of the daughter princess has always been kept secret from the public. Even when she arrived at Fengkou, no exception. Except for Sima Zhang Ding, the princess of the royal palace, everyone else knew that she was a distinguished guest of the King of Xiyang.

This situation will last until Xiyang, Huangzhou, Jiangbei. When it arrives, the Qianjin Princess will stay in Xiyang for a while.

Yuwen Wen made arrangements in advance and sent a messenger to go out in advance, traveling one or two hundred miles a day to the capital to convey the message. If the normal itinerary, when the Qianjin Princess arrived in Xiyang, the messengers sent to the south from Yecheng would almost have arrived in Xiyang.

At that time, we will know whether to hide our heads and tails or set up a guard of etiquette to Beijing.

The princess of the daughter of the daughter was full of thoughts, but Agnes still kept asking questions: "Daughter, does the King of Xiyang already have a wife?"

"Yes, there is a princess, what's wrong? Do you want to marry him?" Princess Qianjin smiled in a slight smile after saying that. Agnes shook his head like a rattle when he heard this.

"He is so fierce to women, and he will beat him as soon as he says he wants to. That princess must be very pitiful, right?"
