When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 157
"But I heard that the host this time is His Royal Highness King Qi?"

"Then why didn't I see it? Is it nonsense?"

When he first arrived here, Lin Heng actually showed his face.

But then there was King Si, Lin Wei didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he did everything in an orderly manner in terms of disaster relief.Lin Heng himself is a withdrawn and quiet person, he is naturally happy to be at leisure when he has someone to take care of his business.

Therefore, it is understandable that these disaster victims did not know him.

Cheng Muqing originally thought that they would say bad things about Lin Heng, just like the gossipers in the capital.

Say something like "King Qi is an idiot", "King Qi is a fool", "King Qi can't do anything well"... and so on.

Never thought about it, but they just passed it by in a few words.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is actually pitiful. He was so young back then, so he was sent to be a proton."

"Anyway, I'm living a good life now, so I can enjoy a lot of happiness? Married to Marquis Wu'an's daughter-in-law, and have my own mansion... Tsk tsk, it's really enviable."

Cheng Muqing heard them start talking about the parents of the east and the short of the west.Suddenly lost interest and planned to leave.

But before she got up, she felt that someone was patting her.

"Little lady, why do you look strange? Are you from our side?" Woman A asked.

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded silently.

"It doesn't look like it...then you just moved here?"

"Ah."

"No wonder, don't be cautious." Woman B smiled, and took out a fruit from her bosom, "The rain has been heavy these days, but it has grown the fruit. Try it, it's not too sweet, but juicy."

"I ate... what do you eat?" Cheng Muqing was not polite, took it, broke it, and shared it with Lin Heng.

The fruit is really not sweet, and the water is very large, not very tasty.

"If you pick them on the mountain, don't eat them at this time. When will you eat them?" Woman B said, "We'll leave them alone, and the ones that are in dog days will be spoiled too. Why don't we give them to you?"

"Thank you." Cheng Muqing thanked her with a smile.

"I saw you with the little beggar a few days ago. Are you her...relative?"

"Little beggar?" Cheng Muqing was surprised by this title for a moment, but soon she realized, "You mean, Xiaohua?"

The women did not refute, as if they were acquiescing.

"I hit it off." Cheng Muqing smiled.

"Why do you still fall in love with her? She is not a good child." Woman A said, "She knows every day to ask for food everywhere, or to cause damage. She is really a mother, but a mother... ah!"

As she was speaking, her face was suddenly covered with mud.

Woman A rubbed her face with her sleeve, she squinted her eyes slightly, and raised her hand cursingly, "It's you again, you little bastard!"

Xiaohua was standing not far away. She was small and thin, and her clothes were also dirty and messy.

Her hands were still stained with mud, which made her, who was already messy, more like a clay figurine.

"Why is your tongue so long!" Xiao Hua yelled, "Women with long tongues don't live long! Do you know that?!"

"You!" Woman A was in a hurry and cursed a few words.But because her face was covered with mud, the more she scolded, the lower her voice became.Fortunately, I got up and left, and went to the stream beside me to wash.

When the other women saw Xiao Hua, they also backed down one after another, as if seeing a plague god.

Cheng Muqing still had unswallowed fruit in his mouth.

It all happened so fast that she took a second bite.

The wind blowing from the forest was very gentle, gently blowing the broken hair between Xiao Hua's ears.

She lowered her head and pushed back her broken hair vigorously.

"Little flower." Cheng Muqing called her, "Do you want to eat fruit? Sister will take you up the mountain to pick it!"

Xiaohua's body froze, she slowly raised her head, "Is that okay? Sister Fairy..."

The phrase "Can you?" she asked, was full of doubts about whether she could follow her, but also full of disbelief.

"of course."

Xiaohua looked at her eagerly.

"Let's go." Cheng Muqing got up and held out his hand to her.

"Yeah!" Xiaohua was immediately happy, she walked over and held her hand.

Lin Heng at the side: Is it an illusion?I seem a little redundant?

In order to give himself a sense of presence in front of Cheng Muqing, Lin Heng lay beside the two of them, holding Cheng Muqing in one hand and Xiaohua in the other.

"Haha~ We are like a family!" Xiao Hua suddenly giggled.

Lin Heng let go of his hand silently, and the six words "Who is in your family?" were written on his face.

"Tsk tsk~" Xiaohua shook her head, "My lord, you don't have to hate me. Sooner or later, you will have a child. It may be as cute as me, or it may be as difficult as you."

"No." Lin Heng said silently, then turned to look at Cheng Muqing, "I just want to stay with Ah Qing forever."

Thinking about this time, the two are lingering every day.Cheng Muqing put his hand on his stomach unconsciously, and smiled, "Maybe if fate is here, you will have it? Then you don't plan to want him anymore?"

Lin Heng lowered his eyes, looking quite reluctant.

"If only you were my parents..." Xiaohua said suddenly.

A trace of complexity flashed across Cheng Muqing's eyes.

Although she has never asked about Xiao Hua's life experience, she can roughly guess some of it.

In this world, there are too many girls like little flowers.

No father or mother, everything depends on oneself.Hard-bodied, unable to survive.The only way to survive is to keep a thick face and beg for food.

But the disadvantage is being hated by others.

No one can give alms and sympathize with anyone for a lifetime.

Cheng Muqing patted her head, "You are very strong, you survived, it has proved that you are great."

Xiao Hua tilted her head and smiled sweetly at her.

Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng are bored these days and often go to the fields to observe.

The lives of the victims seem to be back on track, they should work and eat.It seems that the years are quiet and good.

But this good time didn't last for many days, and God started to rain again.

The rain splashed on the ground like a waterfall.

A puddle of water quickly formed on the ground, and white mist rose slowly from the ground, lingering in the air.

The sound of rain and thunder is endless.

Zhen Chenggong was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and walked slowly towards the dam with a thick branch in his hand.

Although the dam has been completed for some time, when it rains, he is very worried.

The strong wind and the torrential rain rushed towards his face, beating on his vicissitudes of the cheek.

He was a little out of breath, and hugged the tree beside him to relax a little.

The wind blew up the coir raincoat on his body. If it wasn't for the tight tightness of his clothes, it would have been blown away by now.

He was very thankful that he was fat and could still hold his figure in this violent storm.

The water level at the other end of the dam had already risen very high. Zhen Chenggong stood on the hillside, feeling a little worried.

"Boom, boom, boom—" The electric snake swirled around in the dark clouds, and the heavy rain fell into the rolling river.

The river is rolling, and the waves are crashing on the shore.

Zhen Chenggong looked at it for a while, then turned around decisively.

With the help of his attendants, he came to the king's camp.

There was a group of guards guarding the camp. Seeing how embarrassed he was, the group of guards thought he was an ordinary victim and stopped him directly.

"Get out of the way! I'm Zhen Chenggong!" Zhen Chenggong showed his badge and shouted at them, "Let me in!"

Several guards rolled their eyes and checked twice before letting him go.

Dogs fight against others!Zhen Chenggong spat secretly inwardly.

He stepped into the tent.

As soon as the curtain fell, the sound of pattering rain outside the tent was blocked.

"Huhu..." Zhen Chenggong panted heavily, and he wiped his face.There was no time to rest, so he fell to his knees with a plop, "His Royal Highness! Save the people!"

Indescribable voices of men and women came from the inner room, and after a while, Wang Wang walked out slowly in loose clothes.

He straightened his clothes, and then put on a cloak under the service of the maid.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Zhen Chenggong felt as if a mouthful of old blood was congested in his chest, stuck in his throat, unable to move up or down, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Wang Wang asked impatiently, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Your Highness, please lead the people to evacuate to the mountain!" Zhen Chenggong knocked his head on the ground, "Please, Your Highness, lead the people to evacuate!"

The sound of thunder outside the house was endless, as if the king was taking a cup of tea from a maid.

"What's the reason?" He blew on the froth on the tea,

"The dam... no..."

"No?" Wang Si narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Zhen means that the dam built by this king with good materials...is not possible?"

Zhen Chenggong knelt on the ground and didn't dare to answer for a long time.

"Hehe~" Siwang's eyes gradually became dangerous, and he suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand.

"Crack-"

Cup broken.

"Pick it up for this king." Si Wang raised his head slightly, with a bit of majesty in his tone.

Zhen Chenggong silently climbed forward, picked up the fragments bit by bit, and slowly lifted them over his head.

"The cup is broken, can it still hold water?" Si Wang approached him step by step.

"cannot……"

"The king said that the dam has been built. Then I will tell the people—is the dam not working?"

"..."

"Answer me!" Si Wang slapped him down.

The pile of debris fell to the ground again.

Zhen Chenggong gritted his teeth, "But for your safety and for the common people, we must retreat!"

"Boom boom-"

The tent is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.

It seems that the king ignored him, but directly called the attendant beside him, "Xiao Ji, Mr. Zhen is confused, take him down to rest. Seek the doctor Wang and treat him properly."

"Yes." Xiao Ji led others to restrain Zhen Chenggong.

Zhen Chenggong was dragged out of the tent by his attendants, and kept yelling at Siwang—"Take the people away! The flood is coming!"

His voice was quickly covered by the sound of rain outside the tent.

Si Wang stood silently for a while, then called someone, "Pack up your things and get ready to leave at any time."

Zhen Chenggong has been Minister of the Ministry of Industry for many years. Since he said that there is a possibility of flooding, he must be vigilant.

It's just that not long after the dam was built, there was a problem, and he was really ashamed in front of the people.

After the rain this time, if there had been no floods, he would be able to prove himself to Zhen Chenggong, and maybe he could take the opportunity to win over this stubborn old man.But if there is a flood... then Lin Heng will be wronged.

Who made him the host of this time.

The failure of the dam is also a problem for him as the organizer.

Best of all, he could die in this flood too.

Thinking like the king, I suddenly feel comfortable physically and mentally.

……

"Listen, this rain is really heavy."

Cheng Muqing leaned against Lin Heng's arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest.

She could feel the beating of his heart, and also feel his hot body temperature.

"En." Lin Heng rested his head on her shoulder, closed his eyes and listened carefully.

"Are you going to sleep?" Cheng Muqing shook his shoulders.

"No." Lin Heng smiled and kissed her cheek, "I'm just listening to the sound of the rain, your breathing, and the sound of your heartbeat. They are like a beautiful piece of music, making people intoxicated."

"Oh~" Cheng Muqing laughed, "Do you like to listen?"

"En." Lin Heng stretched his arms and brought her down on the bed together.

Cheng Muqing turned around and leaned into his arms.

She was about to say something when she suddenly heard Jinxi's knock on the door——

"Princess! Concubine! Xiao Hua is here, and she said the dam is about to collapse!"

Cheng Muqing got up from the bed like a carp, hurriedly changed into her clothes, and tied her hair in a bun with a hairpin.

Compared with her, Lin Heng's movements are more stable.

"what happened?"

Cheng Muqing pushed open the door of the inner room with one hand.

The first time she saw Xiao Hua sitting on the ground panting, she was drenched, her hair stuck to her face, like a drowned rat.

"Sister Fairy!" Seeing her coming out, Xiao Hua immediately called out sweetly.

"What's going on?" Cheng Muqing walked over and asked again, "Why do you say the dam is about to collapse?"

"Yes...it was Master Cao who told me..." Xiaohua panted heavily, and said intermittently, "Master Cao asked me to find you...to tell you that the dam can no longer hold on and is about to collapse."

"What about others?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"I don't know..." Xiao Hua put her head on, "Should I go to His Royal Highness Si Wang?"

Cheng Muqing pursed her lips, remembering that he and Zhen Chenggong came to look for her a few days ago, and Cao Da deliberately asked her to pay attention, and even took her to find a high ground where she could shelter from the rain.

Could it be that the dam is really about to collapse?
Cao Da asked Xiao Hua to come to remind her?

"Ah Ching."

Lin Heng walked out of the room, he was already dressed, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... It's hard to say, I don't know what to do." Cheng Muqing was stunned.

"Then what do you want to do?" Lin Heng asked her.

"I want to take those people up the mountain..." Cheng Muqing's eyes gradually became firm, "I want them to be safe."

"now?"

"Ah."

"Then let's go." Lin Heng knew that she had always been an actionist, so he took the cloak from Jin Xi's hand and put it on her.

He tied up the cloak silently, and put on a bamboo hat for her.

"It's too tight." Cheng Muqing said angrily.

"It's raining heavily." Lin Heng said, "Wear more."

"Wear too much, and your clothes will get wet." Cheng Muqing laughed.

"The cloak is made of leather, which is more or less waterproof," Lin Heng tied the lanyard under the bamboo hat around her chin.

After dressing her up, Lin Heng also put on a cloak and a bamboo hat, and went out with her.

Coincidentally, when the two of them went out, the rain happened to be a lot lighter.

There were a lot of white particles on the ground, which looked like hailstones.

Although the sky was still gloomy, the rain was much lighter.

The two of them braved the light rain, sat in a cart pulled by a donkey, and came to Siwang's camp.

"His Royal Highness!" Cheng Muqing didn't go in, but chose to call him outside the tent, "The dam is about to fall, please take the victims up the mountain!"

Her voice is very clear, carrying through the sky.

On the other side, Xiaohua was yelling loudly around the houses built by the victims——

"The dam is falling! The dam is falling!"
