Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 419: Ang? What is this operation?
It was already midsummer, and Xia Lin should have returned to Xuzhou by now, but who would have thought that this natural disaster would actually befall him? The wind from the northward expansion of the precipitation line finally blew onto the black soil, and the wharf, which was originally planned to be completed in two months, suddenly suffered an unexpected disaster.

There is a flood in Northeast China...

There was nothing wrong with the dock, but the two suspension bridges were completely washed away. They had to be redesigned and reconstructed, and any delay would take another two to three months.

Xia Lin got tanned here and no longer looked like the pretty boy he was in Beijing. Now he turned himself into a dark-skinned athlete.

Xiao Chenzi went back these days because his wife was about to give birth. Xia Lin couldn't let his eldest grandson be born in this shabby place with poor sanitary conditions. It was uncertain whether he could survive. So he used his extremely comfortable carriage to take his eldest son and daughter-in-law back to Huangyaguan, and he stayed there to watch. It happened that he could also see how the harvest of the fine varieties bred in the south was on the black soil.

Hong Yuan also followed Xiao Chenzi. Although Hong Yuan had no ability, she was very skilled and had medical skills. After all, the woman was more than eight months pregnant. Xiao Chenzi couldn't handle her alone, but he couldn't ask Luo Shixin to help him take care of the woman, right? So the only female member followed them back to Huangya Pass.

So Xia Lin was now surrounded by a group of old men and a team of eunuchs. His daily life was boring, going to the fields, the river and then to his residence. But fortunately, he was a person who could endure loneliness. For the first-hand data of the grain, he really didn't care about his dull life at all.

And he has now discovered that although mobile phones can bring him a lot of convenience, some things, especially farming, still need to be done personally. He needs to personally understand the weather, soil, pests and diseases, etc. before he can see initial results.

He had just come back from taking a bath in the river that day, wearing only a pair of shorts. After all, it was the summer solstice and the weather in the Northeast was getting hot. Then he squatted outside his residence with a group of men in shorts, eating noodles in a large ceramic bowl.

He was a bandit by nature, so it was not at all out of place for him to be with this group of rough guys. Although he was a superior, he did not have the airs of a superior. In addition, he was well-educated, spoke in an interesting way and could tell stories. Everyone here liked him very much. Even the barbarian soldiers who stayed behind here liked to get close to him and even became friends with these Han soldiers.

"The women of Shiwei are no good, they stink and they don't take baths." A barbarian soldier complained, "The women of Silla and Baekje are better, they are white, tender and fragrant."

"Hahahaha, you spent all your military pay on this bullshit." Xia Lin pointed at the barbarian soldier with his chopsticks: "If you didn't take an extra portion from me, you would still be eating noodles. You can't even eat hot shit."

Everyone was laughing. After all, they were just a bunch of men together. They couldn't always talk about "Do you know how much a steamed bun costs in Goguryeo? Fifty wen!" right?

Just as they were chatting happily, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the front, and then saw a group of Goguryeo cavalry coming over. Those barbarian soldiers quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed to the side to change into military uniforms over their shorts, then picked up their spears and stood straight like green pines.

Xia Lin also stretched his head to watch, curious about which high-ranking official came to inspect the work at this time.

But he was certainly not panicked. Even the leader of Goguryeo would respectfully call him "Han envoy" when he came to see him. He always sat in the seat of honor when he attended the wedding of the Goguryeo royal family.

The carriage team slowly stopped, the carriage curtain was lifted, and then the head of Princess Pingyang popped out. When Xia Lin saw her, he asked, "Ah?"

The soldiers nearby all stood up at once, turned around, and ran away with the bowls in their hands.

After Pingyang got off the car, she dragged the reluctant Xiao Douya down with her, and then Princess Pingyang grabbed her shoulders and shook her back and forth: "Get up and give me a reward."

"Don't shake her, or her head will break."

Dugu Han was almost spitting at this moment, but he still took out money to reward the cavalrymen who escorted them here. After everyone dispersed, Xia Lin first arranged accommodation for the guards of the two people, and then came back to look at the two people: "No, who came up with the idea?"

"I." Princess Pingyang said directly: "I'm bored in the capital, so I came over to take a look. Is that okay?"

"Okay, whatever your highness says is fine."

"Don't listen to her stubborn words, she just misses you."

Dugu Han sneered: "It's not enough for me to miss you alone, but you also want to hurt me."

Xia Lin glanced at Princess Pingyang. The princess simply pretended not to hear him and was standing nearby, rummaging through the furnishings in his shabby house.

"What about you? Don't you want to miss it?" Xia Lin walked behind Dugu Han and pinched her shoulders: "But how did you two get together? Beijing? Why did you go to Beijing?"

"Don't touch me." Dugu Han pushed his hand away: "Your Highness and I are now a couple granted marriage by His Majesty, so of course we have to be together?"

"What?"

The moment Xia Lin heard the news, he was confused: "What does that mean?"

"I married him." The princess turned around and said, "Now you have to call me Madam Dugu."

"Hold."

Xia Lin smiled and sat aside. Just then the food outside was brought in. He didn't say much: "Eat. You two must be starving."

Dugu Han was fine, as he ate elegantly, but the princess ate with relish, as she was really starving. She had traveled by land and sea for a total of 28 days, and it could be said that she had not had a good meal at all.

The two of them finished their meal, and then found a place to take a good bath and change clothes. Dugu Han pushed the princess in front of Xia Lin and said, "I'm sleepy. Please be quiet and don't disturb my sleep."

"No, what are you doing?" Xia Lin grabbed Dugu Han's collar and said, "Do you two have something to do with me?"

"No, I don't understand what beauty trap is." Dugu Han rushed forward to break free: "Ask my wife to tell you in detail." After that, she ran to the next room to rest, and really left Princess Pingyang and Xia Lin alone in the room.

"Your Highness, don't be so anxious, right?" Xia Lin sat there and looked the princess up and down. "But you two must have something to do, otherwise who would be so anxious to send you off a thousand miles away?"

"What's this about sending it a thousand miles away? That's nonsense." The princess pursed her lips and sat on the stool for a long time without saying a word. It was like the feeling that she had rehearsed it dozens of times on the way, but when the time came, she just couldn't open her mouth.

Xia Lin poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "You wouldn't have traveled three thousand miles just to miss me. It must be something serious."

"I..." His Highness took a deep breath: "Then I will speak frankly."

"Tell me, there is something we can't talk about."

"I...I remembered something. Would you be willing to help me?"

It's over. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the princess wanted to slap herself. She had said such good words before, but now the time has come and everything is messed up. There is no way he will agree to this.

"Help you?" Xia Lin looked at the princess in surprise: "Sanniang, you can't be angry if I tell you something."

"Well, you said."

"I definitely won't help." Xia Lin shook his head and said, "My responsibility is not here, do you understand?"

Princess Pingyang was actually very disappointed when she heard this. She smiled shyly and said, "Yes, I know."

"But I won't care what you do, because that's not my job." Xia Lin held up three fingers. "There are only three things I will do. Colluding with other tribes, slaughtering the people, and being brutal. If you don't do these three things, it's none of my business even if you turn the world upside down."

"really?"

Xia Lin turned around and took out his treasure box from the cabinet: "Here, look."

"Twelve Tiger Talismans!" Pingyang exclaimed, "Erfeng guessed right, they are really with you. How come there are only nine... and three more?"

"This is to spy on military intelligence, sister."

Princess Pingyang immediately put away her curiosity: "So you really got the Twelve Tiger Talismans?"

"What's the point of forging this thing? The Twelve Tiger Talismans only recognize the king, and I don't care who the king is." Xia Lin said with his hands behind his back: "I don't care whether it's Tuoba or Li. I only care whether there is treason, foreign invasion, and massacre of the city and the clan. Of course, His Majesty gave me this so that I can protect his bloodline. Princess should understand what I mean."

"Um……"

"That's fine, but do you really want to rebel against your father?" Xia Lin sat next to the princess and said, "Have you thought about it? Can you bear the reputation of killing your father and brother?"

"I...I can choose not to kill."

"What are you dreaming about? It was Erfeng who asked you to do this, right? He must have told you that he would ignore anyone else, but he would obey you willingly? You two Li brothers have started a rebellion. Can your father allow you two rebellious guys to ruin his dream of becoming emperor? His feelings for you two are not as good as his feelings for Li Jiancheng. He will beat you to death, right?"

The princess pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time.

Xia Lin waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this now. We'll analyze it tomorrow. Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I'm fully recovered. Dong Niang said that as long as I don't go to the battlefield and fight with others, I'll be fine."

"That's fine, but don't do it again."

After that, both of them fell silent. Normally, the princess should have stood up and left, but she didn't move...

Sometimes adults don’t need to ask so clearly about their affairs, really… If Xia Lin asked the princess “Can I kiss you?” right now, the answer would be definitely no, and he might even get beaten.

But the fact that she came to the room of a man who lived alone at 10:30 in the evening and did not show any intention of getting up and leaving when the air suddenly became quiet was already the answer.

"Don't report to the police." Xia Lin suddenly said to the princess.

"what?"

Before Sanniang could react, she was already picked up. She immediately started pushing him: "Put him down, put him down..."
