Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 120 Action
Heavy rainstorms continued for several days, but the official road was not so damaged that even the carriage could no longer move.

Several inches of water had accumulated on the road paved with bluestone slabs.

The wheels ran over and splashed water.

Soon, a group of people rushed to the mouth of Poyang Lake.

The water level of the Yangtze River has skyrocketed, and the water level of Poyang Lake has also skyrocketed. The waves are rough and scary.

But it's okay now, and I can still cross the estuary by boat. Maybe tomorrow, the water level will continue to rise, and I won't be able to cross again.

Yan Dashan found a big boat.

Without any danger, everyone crossed the water inlet of Poyang Lake and came to the lake mouth to guard the town.

Poyang Prince's Mansion is located in this town.

Handing greeting cards at the door of the palace, Zhu Xiuyuan and Yan Dashan were soon brought into the palace by a family general.

The rest of the state soldiers were waiting elsewhere.

The front hall of the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped in, looked up, and saw a person standing in the hall, with his hands behind his back and his back to Zhu Xiuyuan.

This person is the steward of the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan is already very familiar with it.

Zhu Xiuyuan took two steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, "Housekeeper, my servant Zhu Xiuyuan, I'm taking the liberty to visit."

The palace steward slowly turned around, and when he saw Zhu Xiuyuan, his signature smile appeared on his face, which was amiable.

And asked: "Master Zhu, you must be very busy now. Why do you have time to come to the palace?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Xiuyuan to take a seat.

After Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, the butler ordered his servants to serve tea.

He sat next to Zhu Xiuyuan, with a small coffee table in the middle.

"Steward, I also don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I'm here to ask for help." Zhu Xiuyuan paused and added: "Time is tight, so it would be rude to visit without permission."

"You're welcome, sir. I appreciate your cheerful personality..." The butler continued to laugh.

At this time, a servant from the palace came over carrying a tray.

There are two teacups on the tray.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a chance glance and discovered that the servants of the palace were exceptionally beautiful.

At first glance, it is really eye-catching.

Especially that kind of temperament, very much like the later generations...Miss Manners!
Are the maids in the palace also so beautiful?
Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly distracted, thinking that this palace was really a trench!

Using a woman of this temperament to serve as a maid serving tea and pouring water... Ordinary people would not be able to do such a thing.

"Master Zhu, this is the Yangzhou skinny horse that I got from that house yesterday... Is Mr. Zhu regretting it?" the housekeeper asked with a smile.

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan, I don't know what the butler means by this?" Zhu Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed.

"Yesterday I asked you to pick two, but you didn't. Now you see how good-looking they are, and your eyes are almost glued to them. To be honest, do you regret it?"

The palace steward smiled and looked at him sideways.

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed dryly and did not explain, lest the description would become darker.

He pursed his lips and changed the topic: "Butler, this official is here to visit..."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhu, if you want anything, you might as well tell me. If I can do it, I won't refuse." The housekeeper was polite.

"It would be presumptuous for me to be an official like this." Zhu Xiuyuan saluted first, and then said, "I would like to borrow a few people from your mansion to help strengthen the river embankment."

"We have sent out all the government officials, recruited all the civilian men we could recruit, and also recruited a large number of young people from the victims. But the number is still too small for building river embankments."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked worried.

"Well, the matter of strengthening the river embankment is very important, so it can't be sloppy... The old man agreed to this matter." The smile on the housekeeper's face gradually faded.

"Thank you, steward! Steward, without further ado, I will be going back soon." Zhu Xiuyuan was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, the palace steward waved his hand and stopped Zhu Xiuyuan.When Zhu Xiuyuan was confused, the housekeeper asked: "When you came here, how was the water at the mouth of Poyang Lake?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned and said blankly: "The current is turbulent. Although it is not as fast as the Yangtze River, it is also very dangerous to sail a boat."

The housekeeper frowned and fell into a state of thought, which made it impossible for Zhu Xiuyuan to leave, or not to leave, so he could only stand there and stare at him stupidly.

"Master Zhu, please don't leave in a hurry." The housekeeper stood up.

"The soaring water level of the Yangtze River will not only affect Jiangzhou City, but also pose a threat to my Poyang Palace." The butler is obviously also considering this matter.

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "So the butler... what do you plan to do?"

"While boats can still sail at the mouth of Poyang Lake, I decided to move the entire palace to Jiangzhou City."

Zhu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, and finally had to say: "This is a wonderful move by the housekeeper!"

……

The vigorous migration of Poyang Palace began.

I wish Xiuyuan will follow the crowd.

This time, his eyes were opened, and he saw what execution was and what orders and prohibitions were.

The generals in the palace are simply like mindless robots.

Nuoda's Poyang Palace was moved to Jiangzhou City within an hour.

Zhu Xiuyuan witnessed the whole process and was extremely envious.

Finally, I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It would be great if I also had such a team of generals..."

Yan Dashan, who was behind him, naturally heard his muttering, Yan Dashan's torch-like eyes lit up immediately, and he rubbed his hands secretly...

With the wealth and power of the Poyang Palace, it is naturally impossible that there is not one or two properties in Jiangzhou City.

In fact, King Poyang had three or four villas in Jiangzhou City. This time, the palace steward chose the largest one to stay in.

The relocation of Poyang Palace naturally caused a sensation.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan had already brought four hundred generals from the Poyang Palace to join the army building the river embankment.

Zhu Xiuyuan had no idea how crowded the Poyang King's Courtyard was.

King Poyang led his troops on an expedition, leaving five hundred generals to garrison the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan took away [-] generals, and there were still [-] generals left in the palace, which was enough...

With the addition of these 400 people, there are finally enough manpower to reinforce and build river embankments.

……

Today, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan's main task is to supervise the reinforcement and construction of river embankments.

Even the matter of gathering the victims was not taken into consideration and was left to a military officer with full authority.

They don't know-

In a remote village far away from Jiangzhou City, a rare plague is breaking out!
The crisis of floods has not passed the most difficult moment, but a plague that is far more domineering than the floods has taken shape.

Waiting for opportunities in the distance.

Like a devil, he was ready to swallow the entire Jiangzhou City in one bite.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were too busy to worry about the plague.

There is no manpower available to investigate this matter.

Or rather, I didn't think of that at all...

But the only person who knew that the plague had broken out chose to conceal the news.

And secretly making selfish preparations.
