It was raining heavily. Mi Huang stood in front of the window for a long time, watching the lights in the Convent Hall in the distance were not turned off, and the music in the State Banquet Hall further away did not stop. She suddenly turned around and said, "Siqin, go get my cloak, I want to go to the Convent Hall!"

"Grandmaid, you won't rest so late? Maybe the prince-consort will come back soon." Siqin said hesitantly.

"The way out? The way out? The way ahead? Only when we go out can we have a way. When we sit here in the city of troubled sorrow, how can we have a way?"

This sentence is not only said to Siqin and the others, but also to Mi Huang herself.

She does not want love and family, but her life does not want to wait for others to save, nor does she want to put all her hopes on others and finally end up miserably. She cannot bet on this life, nor can she bet on the lives and future of herself, her relatives, and the children in her belly.

In the cold wind and cold rain, Mi Huang put on a cloak and walked out of the bedroom, took Siqin and the others with various snacks and refreshments, walked along the winding corridors where heavy rain, passed through the rockery gardens, and the high walls of the meeting hall. Finally, she "creaked" and pushed open the heavy hall door. Then she fell down the hood of the cloak, and the rustling unpopularity blew in, blowing away her black hair, flying up and down in the wind, as if a black phoenix flag was waving in the wind.

In the brightly lit hall of conventions, the bright lights immediately illuminated the woman who was hurried in the night rain. Her pair of wild eyes were as bright as stars and looked at the dozens of people in the hall. She smiled, "Can I be together?"

The storm of the world does not stop at any time, just like the fate of this world is not the choice of the human heart.

But perhaps from this moment on, the huge wheel of fate finally drove again, carrying her life toward her even more unpredictable future, but so what?

At least at this moment, she felt at ease when she took this step.

Of course she also knows what it means to take this step.

But she was never a person who left her fate, otherwise she would not have spent ten years in this life, just to change her fate and go out into a new life, rather than repeating the same mistakes.

On the long table in the hall, everyone looked at the woman coming from the wind and rain, and looked at the smile on her face. Sun Hou was the first to say, "Come in quickly, silly girl! It's so wet when standing outside with such a heavy rain!"

"Yes, grandfather." Mi Huang took up the hem of the skirt, stepped into the hall, and then walked to the position opposite Cheng Jia to sit down, "I want to help me too, tell me if I need anything!"

Cheng Jia was stunned for a moment. It was so late, and she should have had a rest at this time. Since that incident with his elder sister, he has also tried to visit the East Palace, but he was rejected. Not to mention telling her about taking some young masters, it was difficult to meet her. Now she has come so late.

Without managing the reason, he didn't say anything more. He smiled and said, "Let's go together!" After saying this simple sentence, he turned to look at Sun Hou and continued to ask, "Hou Sun, you have participated in the disaster relief matters in the past when the Huai River flooded. Can you always talk about your opinion on the things I just said?"

Siqin and Sihua saw that the dinner that had been served on the table was already cold, and they silently replaced the snacks they brought. Gongshunian was really hungry. He had never participated in such a powerful job. Rescue water was like saving lives, and he was grabbing time every minute and every second. However, they had to divide the severely affected towns and mild towns, and then reasonably allocate personnel from all over the country.

There are only these people, only these soldiers, only these foods, and there must be a problem with where to give them.

But there is really not much time to give them care.

Although Sun Hou didn't have much knowledge in flood control, he had experienced many flood control and disaster relief, and was more knowledgeable than young young people like Cheng Jia Gongshu Nian and others.

Sun Hou nodded slightly and said, "You are still far away to arrange the allocation of our personnel according to the degree of disasters in each county. However, in the past, some important river embankments had to be assigned to reinforce them. Many major disasters were caused by the river embankments breaking, which is a big problem."

Then Sun Hou paused again and continued, "We must urgently allocate a large number of sand, gravel and sacks, and order the local government troops and the troops who went to rescue the army to stand by and go to the front line of flood control. The people in the Sigong Mansion will not need to be stationed in the embankment. This is your responsibility. Each of you must follow the army and supervise every disaster situation."

"yes!"

Gongshujin and others nodded in agreement with the officials.

"I have something to add. I heard you introduce the situation of each town at the meeting just now. The people of your Sigong Mansion must be sure to give this lady the important city and county in the major tributaries and river embankments along the river. The special person in charge and the Yin of each county will be responsible for the responsibility of each county and county. Wherever there is a problem, I will find one after that!" Mi Huang looked around at the weak craftsmen of the Sigong Mansion and said in a cold voice.

Cheng Jia also nodded heavily, "Yes, people are there, the dike is destroyed, and people are killed! This time, I will not plead for anyone in the Sigong Mansion. If anyone is slacking off, all of them will be exiled. Lord Gongshu, if something happens, you will be the first responsibility!"

If necessary, you still have to add wind to the officials of the Ministry of Commerce.

In the past, the Chu State had been fighting for years and had no time to focus its attention on water conservancy, but now it is not a year of war. If they are still so careless, then he wouldn't mind changing to a better worker.

Mi Huang and Cheng Jia, one of the princesses and the other of the right disciples, made some workers who were complaining just now feel nervous, "Yes, the princesses and the right disciples, we will definitely guard the embankment with our lives!"

"good!"

Cheng Jia held his hands on the table and looked around everyone and said, "I hope everyone here can unite and survive this flood, and I hope we can unite with the people. After all, our manpower with the army is limited. At critical moments, we must rely on the broader people's dependence on their homes to mobilize the people to fight with us, rather than splitting, or even use the lives of the people to fill the gap in the flood."

Cheng Jia must be said before. In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were no developed means of transportation and engineering equipment. The counties below may also exert the power of the people, but it is more likely to use the lives of the people and slaves to fill this ruthless gap.

"I know, Lord Righteous!"

Everyone nodded, and even Mi Huang realized what he said.

"Then today's meeting is here, everyone starts the work they have on hand and is ready to go!"

Before the meeting ended, Cheng Jia asked about the situation at every home where he was present, and smiled gently, "Time is urgent, everyone may be on the road soon. If you need to report the message to the old and young people in the family, you can register with Chen Huang. Later, he will send someone to deliver the message to everyone. If the flood passes this time, I will definitely ask for great contributions for everyone!"

After receiving Cheng Jia's guarantee, everyone relaxed when they heard this, "Thank you sir!"

Then everyone went out to prepare one after another, without any preparation of clothes. There would be ready-made dried candy such as food there. Cheng Jia had already asked Sun Shuao to prepare for the army's deportation. Cheng Jia slowly packed up his things. After Mi Huang told Sun Hou that he must take care of his health, he also helped.

The raindrops as big as beans outside the hall fell on the bluestone bricks, making a rustling sound.

In the hall, Mi Huang silently kept her things, thinking about how to speak, and finally closed the rolled water scripture diagram, pushed it to the person opposite through the table, raised her head and said, "Can you ask you something? Cheng Jia."

Cheng Jia paused when he heard the movements in his hand, looked up at the woman opposite him, and his big hand also gently landed on the water meridian map, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask you to teach my cousin when he is in the air. He has always been a military officer and has only a slight understanding of these political affairs. As a soldier, he only knows how to obey the military's will...."

"Do you want Shu Ao to abandon the army and go to politics in the future?"

Before Mi Huang's request could be spoken, Cheng Jia knew the meaning of the strings when he heard the sound. His brows frowned slightly, "But would he be willing?"

"You have to try it out before you know."

Mi Huang thought for a while and said.

She knew that her request was a bit sudden, but this was a way out for her for so long. The Sun family had no one in the court, which was equivalent to her lack of hearing. Once someone fired a cold arrow in the court and pointed it at their Sun family or her back, all of them could only carry it and die.

On the contrary, if Sun Shuao abandoned his army and entered politics, it would not mean that no one would take over the Sun family's Iron Guard Army. At least in the past two years, it would be time to train a new confidant successor. She is still there!

"Okay, I'll help you to help Shu Ao. In fact, with his character, whether he is in the army or in politics, he will be a good official for the country and the people. " Cheng Jia said slowly.

"Well, our Sun family, both on the battlefield and in the court, are always loyal to this country and the people." Mi Huang nodded slowly.

Even though this stupid loyalty caused her mother to die in the deep palace, her uncle and aunt died at the hands of the Jin people without any corpse, and her grandfather's white-haired man sent a black-haired man, this country needs such a cornerstone.

The two of them may not know that it was because of their private actions that they cultivated a pure and good talent for the later generations of Chu State.

This is probably a future that Sun Shuao would never have thought about in his 26 years of his previous life.

The future he has always understood is a bloody battlefield.

Everyone was ready, Chen Huang pushed the door and walked in and said to Cheng Jia, "Second brother, the carriages and horses are ready, 20,000 new recruits have been installed, we are going to set off!"

"You go quickly!" Mi Huang smiled when she heard this, "Take care all the way. Although disaster relief is important, I think if Chu State cannot be without you!" Even though she has two selfish thoughts, Chu State really can't find another important official in the court like Cheng Jia who cares about the lives and death of the people.

Cheng Jia was stunned when she heard this, but immediately nodded and smiled, "Okay, I will definitely come back!"

"Yeah! The road is smooth!"

Mi Huang's words were like a breeze, and she heard them in the night rain. She sent them all the way out of the hall. She even saw them getting on the carriage and standing in the corridor to watch them go away. Cheng Jia got on the carriage. After a long time, she resisted lifting the curtain and looked back. The woman stood on the jade steps of the Golden Palace, with a canopy umbrella on her head, but through the ruthless wind and rain, she kept following them.

The heavy rain kept falling, and the road was bumpy. The rain had already flowed through the ankles of the soldiers and the war horses, but no one was complaining about being tired. Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the long army, slightly holding a trace of lips, and clenched the water in his hand through the topographic map.

He will definitely come back well.
