When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 160 Rainstorm
She glanced at the sky.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the earth fell into a coma.

It's only morning, but it's like night.

She saw many people walking down the mountain together, the mountain road was muddy, they supported each other, and the pace down the mountain was not fast.

……

It rained heavily that night, Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng leaned against the wall, looking out of the cave.

There was a lot of rain, and there were even hailstones rolling into the cave entrance from the outside.

Cheng Muqing got up and walked over there.

"The hailstones are really big." Cheng Muqing leaned over and picked up the hailstones on the ground.

The hailstone was as big as her palm, and it was crystal clear, melting continuously in her warm palm.

"What's wrong under the mountain?" She murmured.

the other side--

In the brightly lit tent, Lin Wei put on his clothes in a hurry, and he heard the guard announce from outside the screen——

"Like His Royal Highness, Zhen Chenggong and Cao Da escaped."

"How did you escape?" Lin Wei gritted his teeth.

The queen-like princess on the side was helping him to get dressed, but before he could put on the clothes, he pushed them away.

Lin Wei took two quick steps and kicked the screen over.

The screen engraved with the golden dragon fell to the ground with a sound of calmness and honesty.

Before he could find out how the two men escaped, he heard someone report from outside——

"Your Highness! Your Highness! It's not good!"

A guard hurriedly threw him into the tent, his body was soaked and his face was covered with rain.

"Your Highness! There is a crack in the dam, and water gushes out!"

"What!" Lin Wei was angry and didn't know where to go.Then he picked up the saber hanging on the side and plunged into the screen fiercely.

The golden dragon protruding from the screen was cut off by a sword, and a deep crack was formed.

"My lord, don't be angry..." The princess seemed to step forward cautiously to comfort her.

"Get lost!" Lin Wei pushed her aside with a wave of his arm.

Seeing that he was angry, the guard who came to report immediately lowered his head.

"Is there nothing that goes well?" Lin Wei panted heavily.

It has been raining continuously for the past few days. He sent someone to look at the dam and report to him immediately if there is any situation.

A few days ago, nothing happened.He was still thinking, waiting for those people to come back, it would be embarrassing for Qi Wang and his wife.

Whoever is in the city and country, today somehow, accidents happen one after another.

First, Zhen Chenggong and Cao Da escaped, and then the dam came out of the water.

His hand holding the saber trembled slightly.

"Your Highness..."

Outside the tent, the voice of the guard came again.

"What happened again?" Lin Wei walked to the door step by step with his sword in hand, and pulled open the curtain.

The guard standing outside the tent quickly retreated in fright and knelt down on one knee.

And behind him, the group of people who had just come down from the mountain were also horrified, and knelt down together.

When Lin Weifu saw this group of people, he was taken aback for a moment, then he put his sword behind his back silently, and smiled, "Are you all back?"

His smile was still that gentle and kind smile, but there was a faint coldness in his eyes.

This group of people came back to die...well, it just happened to cover up the fact that he hadn't repaired the dam.

He slowly squeezed the hilt of the sword tightly, and an imperceptible killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He silently planned in his heart to leave this group of people here and retreat by himself...

"No...not all back." A man replied, he felt that Wang Xiwang today was different from usual.But no matter how you look at it, he is still that gentle and elegant man.He repeated everything on the mountain, and what Cheng Muqing said.

After listening, Lin Wei couldn't help being disappointed.

It turned out that there were still many people who did not come back.

"Concubine Qi really put in a lot of effort to accept you for her use." Lin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"She's a temptress!" said the crowd. "If she hadn't trapped them in the mountains, we wouldn't have suffered that."

It is cold in the mountains, and every day I wake up, I can feel the biting chill.

The coldness was indescribable, but it was scary anyway.

"Yes." Lin Wei nodded, "She is a temptress, she wants to control you... think about it, if you all listen to her... listen to a woman, she will let you all stay on the mountain and put you under house arrest All your land will belong to her. She will destroy our mulberry seedlings, and we should plant other things... You can only carry that narrow mountain seed all your life..."

When everyone heard it, they were filled with righteous indignation.

"Didn't she not believe in our dam?" Lin Wei raised his eyes, "I'll take everyone to see it."

Everyone should be "good", but they didn't notice the dead silence in his eyes.

Led by Lin Wei, everyone came to the dam.

The turbulent river was blocked by the dam, and the light rain fell into the river and disappeared.

Everyone was here to join in the fun, but when they watched, their expressions suddenly changed.

"His Royal Highness... how do you look at it, the dam is indeed... leaking?"

Someone speaks.

He described it quite carefully.

"correct."

Lin Wei turned around, "It's a water leak."

Everyone looked at him in shock.

"So, I would like to ask everyone to do a little favor." Lin Wei laughed, "After the matter is completed, there must be a big reward."

As soon as he raised his hand lightly, guards surrounded the crowd.

"Like... His Royal Highness, what are you doing?"

"Please help me." Lin Wei tilted his head, "Help me block this dam."

The guards held long guns and forced the people to tie up thick ropes and carry sandbags to the dam.

They need to plug that gap.

The victims complained repeatedly, and many of them resisted, but in the end they were chopped to death by the guards.

Regarding the dead, Lin Wei had no expression on his face, but said lightly, "Throw them into the river."

With the efforts of this group of people, the dam finally stopped leaking temporarily.

Lin Wei knew that this would not last long.

But he didn't want to keep insisting. According to this group of people, as long as five more days... Qi Wang and his wife will bring the remaining people back.

bring back……

He hooked his lips, no one could escape.

Let's all become sacrifices to this river.

……

The weather in the past few days was very abnormal. After the people went down the mountain, the sky cleared up after a little drizzle.But after two days of sunshine, it started to rain again.

The torrential rain lasted for two days.

To Cheng Muqing's surprise, even though there was heavy rain, the flood did not come.

Until the fourth day, the rain decreased and turned into a patter.Cheng Muqing began to doubt whether Zhen Chenggong and Cao Da's judgment was correct.

But those two kept telling her that even after five days, the people could not be let go.

Down the mountain is too dangerous!Floods can come anytime!
The husband and wife were also inked, and their hearts were a little shaken.

Cheng Muqing, who planned to let him go down the mountain tomorrow, silently strengthened the guards.

Her intentions were good, but the people didn't buy it, and they often talked about her behind their backs.

Cheng Muqing has long been used to pointing and pointing like this. In the capital, she is known as the rude second girl of the military commander's family.Now, she is just being called a seductress, a poisonous woman...

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Cheng Muqing walked out of the cave.

Looking at the endless night, she sighed.

"what happened?"

Cheng Muqing was startled, and turned to look at Lin Heng.

"You scared me!" Cheng Muqing said angrily.

"Sorry." Lin Heng shrank his neck.

"Forget it, I don't care." Cheng Muqing smiled slightly.

"Still thinking about these refugees?" Lin Heng walked to her side and took her hand, "Don't blame yourself, you are thinking about them."

"I know." Cheng Muqing replied, "I didn't blame myself either."

"Then what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking...they talk about you and me like that, should we protect them after all?"

"If it was me before, I might answer...it's not worth it, let's go." Lin Heng said, "But the experience of staying in Bashu these few days has given me some insights. As you said that day, we enjoy We should protect them." These days, he often heard about taxes from Xiaohua.

The people have worked hard for a year, and they need to submit six cents of food.They don't even have enough food for themselves, yet they have to offer offerings.Lin Heng realized that the clothes on his body and the food he usually ate were all from the hands of the people.

The two were relatively silent, and Cheng Muqing was suddenly speechless.

Lin Heng felt that she was in a low mood, so he silently hugged her into his arms and let her lean on him.

Time has passed, and he is no longer that emaciated young man.

Cheng Muqing knew that he would always practice in places where she could not see.

His chest was thicker and harder than before.

"I'm thinking about what to say tomorrow." Cheng Muqing said, "Tomorrow is the fifth day."

"Let me tell you."

"Haha~ What do you say? Your mouth is dumber than mine!" Cheng Muqing laughed at him.

Lin Heng smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Sister Fairy~"

Xiaohua hid behind a rock and called to the two of them quietly.

When the two walked over, they were pulled by Xiao Hua.

"Sister Fairy! Tomorrow is the last day!" Xiaohua cut to the chase, "I heard that they will leave no matter what!"

"I will set up guards."

Although there are not many guards in Prince Qi's Mansion, at least they all have martial arts skills and sharp weapons.

"But they are all united together." Xiaohua said, "Not only are they going down the mountain, but they also want to ask for your money!"

Cheng Muqing understood that she was referring to her original promise.

"If everything is safe, those are not demands, but what they deserve." Cheng Muqing said.

"Sister Fairy, you are really a fairy..." Xiaohua said seriously, "You don't even care about money!"

"..."

"You came here just to say this?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"En." Xiaohua nodded.

She blinked her eyes, looked at Lin Heng who had murderous look in her eyes, and then at Cheng Muqing who had "That's it?" written all over his face.She obediently chose to back off and leave.

In a blink of an eye, there was no one around, and it was pitch black.

Because of Xiaohua's departure, a deathly silence returned.

Lin Heng couldn't help but rubbed against Cheng Muqing, and then hugged her tightly.

Cheng Muqing hugged him back sideways, with lotus root arms hanging around his neck, smelling the slight water vapor on his body.

"No matter what happens, let's face it together."

Lin Heng said.

"it is good."

Cheng Muqing came back.

……

The next day.

The sky was gloomy, with continuous light rain.

The victims packed up and saluted one after another, gathered together, and prepared to go down the mountain.They had already passed the Qi yesterday, and now they are all valiant and high-spirited.

Cheng Muqing came late, Cui Huwei and Mingchen stood behind her.

Both of them were from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, so they are not bad at all.

"Princess Qi, the time has come, you don't want to let us go, do you?" A man asked in the middle of the crowd.

"Let it go." Cheng Muqing took a deep breath, "How can we not let it go? It's just that the time has not yet come..."

"Why hasn't it arrived yet? It's been five days!"

Someone roared in dissatisfaction.

Cheng Muqing wasn't angry either, he just stood there holding a red-tasseled spear, like a stone statue.

"Brothers! Qi Wang and his wife have trapped us for so many days. If we don't resist, we will be controlled forever!" A slightly stronger man suddenly raised his hand and walked forward quickly, "Rush with me! Let's go down!"

In an instant, a crowd of people rushed in like a tide.

"Stop them! Injure someone's life by mistake!" Cheng Muqing issued an order.

The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion swung their sticks across and pressed towards the victims.

But there are many victims, more than [-] people.However, there were only a few dozen guards in Prince Qi's mansion, and even with the masters arranged by Cheng Houye next to Cheng Muqing, they were outnumbered.

Some people escaped during the period, threatening to seek justice from the king.Someone was pinned down and lying on the ground, unable to move.

In the chaos, someone ran straight towards Lin Heng.

Lin Heng was dealing with a few disaster victims in front of him, but he didn't want to be attacked by surprise at this time.

He felt a pain in his back, turned around for a while, and saw a man holding a wooden stick, hitting him on the head and covering the face,
Almost subconsciously, he raised his forearm to resist the blow.Immediately afterwards, he bowed slightly, swept his legs, and put the man down.

Cheng Muqing who was on the side whistled, and the gun fell down.

Just as the two sides were fighting, the man who had just descended the mountain ran back.

"Flood! Flood!"

His eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth twitched, and it took him a while to shout, "The flood is coming!"

Suddenly, the world was silent.

Both sides of the war stopped.

"Crash-"

It's the sound of water flowing.

"Back off!"

Cheng Muqing said, "Help each other and return to the camp!"

The camp in her mouth is the cave that everyone has been carrying.

The khaki-colored river surged up from the bottom of the mountain and slapped on the hillside.

There was a woman climbing up the mountain with her child in her arms. Her soles slipped, and the river water made her untenable.

Some of the disaster victims gathered at the camp also saw this scene. Although they were afraid, some still ran towards the woman.

They stretched out their hands, trying to grab the woman.

"go back!"

Cheng Muqing took the red-tasseled gun to sweep away, and pushed those people back to the high place.But she herself was on her toes, and came in front of the woman with a few big strides, picked up her child, and grabbed her hand.

She easily carried the woman on her back and ran to the high place.

But the mountain road was so slippery that she staggered a little while running.

Fortunately, Lin Heng got a rope from somewhere, tied it around his waist, and walked towards her.

Cheng Muqing clearly saw that the end of the rope was pulled by the group of victims in unison.

Lin Heng took the baby from her arms, held her hand, and walked back to Gaopo step by step.

The baby cried in his arms, returned to his mother's arms, and then stopped.

The husband and wife found a few more ropes, tied them around their waists with Cui Huwei and others, and together they went to rescue the victims who had just descended the mountain and were now swept everywhere by the water.

During this period, many victims of the disaster came forward and asked for help.

Those who were washed away by the flood were hanging on the trees and floating in the river.

They screamed and shouted, only to realize that the people who came to save them were Qi Wang and his wife who had been complaining behind their backs.
