Chapter 118: Love and affection

This time, there were only two people just now, especially Chen Yang was recommended by Tan Zong, so it was not convenient for Tan Zong to praise him for his good skills. Therefore, Tan Zong just stood there silently without saying anything on his face.

Yue Feiyun and a blood flag army were carefully selected by each army, and were elite soldiers among the elite soldiers. Although they could not be called a skill, they were all proud. Chen Yang's skill was nothing in their eyes. Some of them had a weak temper and couldn't help but spit, obviously they looked down on him and thought Chen Yang was very good at showing off.

In fact, the same is true.

This time Chen Yang was indeed showing off his skills, but he never thought that there were people on the other side, so he would not take such a flowery life into consideration.

Fortunately, Yue Feiyun is also a proficient in human relationships, so he did not react abnormally. Instead, he nodded, which was a positive response. But Tan Zong knew that Yue Feiyun's point was reluctant, and to put it bluntly, he would give him face to him.

To death, as long as Chen Yang could catch the rope, he actually passed Yue Feiyun's test, and Yue Feiyun would nod at Tan Zong's face to show that he was "good". As for how beautiful the completion was, it was really unnecessary for those of them who came out of the sea of ​​blood.

This is the gap in mentality and consciousness: these people who have killed people, seen blood, and even do not regard their own lives as their lives, are not something that Chen Yang, who is like every day who patrolls everywhere with a knife every day.

Fortunately, no one here will point out the key points, so Chen Yang felt happy when he got Yue Feiyun's show of kindness, and he felt more energetic when he worked with an axe.

The ropes prepared by Yue Feiyun were extremely long, so Tan Zong pointed out Chen Yang several meters away before he started digging pits, drilling wooden stakes, and wrapping ropes. After doing these, more than a cup of tea had passed, and the length of the gap at the collapsed dike was almost close to four meters.

After taking a well-prepared pulley and climbing the rope, Tan Zong, Chen Yang and Yue Feiyun successfully met, then he turned around with everyone. Because Tan Zong was not physically strong, everyone could not raise their speed. Yue Feiyun sent a military man and Chen Yang to report the news first, which was naturally an opportunity for Chen Yang. King An would definitely ask him to explain, and this was his opportunity to show his performance. In other words, whether it would be successful or not, it depends on him, but what Tan Zong could do was done.

And here, Yue Feiyun told Tan Zong a very amazing news.

"King An returned to Nanjing City first?" Tan Zong was shocked after hearing this, and even slowed down unconsciously: "Is there something wrong in Nanjing City?"

Tan Zong has always ignored Zhao Yunan's safety - it's not that Tan Zong is not worried, but that there is no need for this at all. If there is an accident under the protection of military men such as the Blood Flag Army, especially when they have already moved to the high ground, it can only be said that God wants him to die, and even if Tan Zong is worried, it is useless.

What's more, Yue Feiyun even has time to come to find him now, which naturally means that Zhao Yunan is safe and sound.

And now we can't doubt whether Zhao Yunan left first because he was afraid of the flood. He can only say this.

Yue Feiyun nodded and said, "Someone came to report the news at the headquarters. The water level of the Qinhuai River in the inner Qinhuai River has already spread out of the river. At this moment, there are rivers on the streets in the southern part of Nanjing. I am afraid that after another one or two hours, the entire south of the city will be soaked in the river."

Tan Zong knew that the terrain in the south of the city was indeed lower than the north of the city, so it should be flooded by the river first. Fortunately, although the house that Tan Zong bought was also in the south of the city, the terrain was quite high, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

"The Prefect Wang did not take any flood control measures?" Tan Zong asked in disbelief.

"I'm afraid that's the case." Yue Feiyun looked calm, and letting the Buddhist affairs not matter to him, which was extremely inconsistent with his image of being wet. In fact, who was rushing outside, and who was not like this? Even wearing a straw raincoat, but under such heavy rain, it was useless and was still soaked through.

Judging from the experience of later generations, Wang Ren and others were just officials, but they were definitely not capable officials, let alone good officials. Otherwise, how could his Wang family become the first-class powerful and powerful in Nanjing City and even Nanjing Prefecture, and how could he have the money to buy these many industries?

But in this Dashun Dynasty, Wang Ren was already a good official and even enjoyed a reputation among the people. Therefore, although Tan Zong was disdainful, he just didn't argue in his daily life. At most, he occasionally said a few sarcastic words behind others.

But now, when Zhao Yunan warned him in advance, Wang Ren still did not take the flood control in his heart, and did not even have any measures. Tan Zong's favor for Wang Ren instantly fell to freezing point, thinking that Wang Ren was really a false reputation.

After walking along the river bank for about half an hour, Tan Zong saw a land area, with several tall and tall horses tied to nearby trees. Perhaps because he was not used to the rain, these horses were constantly scattering their hooves and neighing, and the sound was particularly loud.

Only then did Tan Zong realize that he had already left the water range without realizing it.

In fact, it is only about an hour before the breach of the river bank, and the direction of the water flow determines that most of the water can only wash forward along the water trend, so the range on both sides will not be too large. Only when the river water increases in the later stage will it gradually expand in a circular shape.

Therefore, if Tan Zong stays here for a while, he will be occupied by the flood.

After getting on the horse, he galloped with Yue Feiyun for a while. Tan Zong felt that the rain kept rushing towards his face. He didn't know how long it took, but the bones began to be soaked in the rain and turned cool outside. Then he saw the gate of Nanjing City. It was just too dark, but Tan Zong didn't know which gate it was. It should be noted that there are four gates in Nanjing City, one in the east, south, west and north. Unless you get closer under the sky, no one can see clearly.

Yue Feiyun saw the door but walked around for a while. Until he approached the city gate, Tan Zong realized that this was already the North Gate Yong Kinmen. After thinking about it, he realized that it was undoubtedly the East Gate.

I didn't feel anything when I was outside the city, but as soon as I entered the city gate, Tan Zong discovered some abnormalities in the city.

Originally, when it rained heavily, it was especially late again, so there should be no pedestrians on the street. But at this moment, there were many pedestrians on the road, and even carriages were in a complicated way. The pedestrians all looked hurried and had to resist rice and grain on their shoulders. I am afraid that it was not as heavy as dozens of pounds. It was obvious that they bought grain reserves to prevent floods.

However, those shops were sorting out, and some shops even began to put away the whole cabinet's goods, leaving only empty shops.

Tan Zong knew very well that it was obvious that by this moment, the people had already panicked. Both the people and the shops in the city had begun to prepare for the flood in Nanjing.

"Wang Ren should be killed!" This was the first time Tan Zong said this "heart-killing words" in front of others, but at this moment he didn't think anything was wrong. He even felt that killing was not enough to relieve his anger, and he had to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

"Mr. Tan's words are very consistent with the prince. It is indeed worthy of being the prince's help." Yue Feiyun replied lightly, but the meaning of the words made Tan Zong feel scared, and then his face darkened. However, at this time, there were many people and eyes, but it was not the time to discuss this matter, so Tan Zong had to bury this question in his heart and talk about it when he saw Zhao Yunan.

Because there are too many pedestrians, even if they ride the horses of the Blood Flag Army under them, Tan Zong dares not gallop in terms of riding skills. He can only patiently move forward slowly with the traffic.

This delay took another half an hour to arrive at the headquarters.

As soon as he got off the horse, Li Zhigao immediately came up. Li Zhigao had originally followed Tan Zong to the camp in the mudflat, but on the way to the Blood Flag Army, he came back with Zhong Cheng, the deputy leader of the guard.

"Sir, you are back, the prince is anxious." Li Zhigao took Tan Zong's reins in the rain and comforted the horse. Then he helped Tan Zong off the horse: "The prince has given instructions. You don't have to go see him first when you come back. You can take a shower first and then drink some ginger soup."

Tan Zong was stunned, but understood Zhao Yunan's intentions. In fact, Tan Zong felt very cold all over. After all, he had been in the heavy rain for several hours and was moving along the way. The guards who had survived their bodies might not feel anything, but he, a scholar, could not hold on. If he holds on, he would be really sick.

Therefore, Tan Zong was not pretentious and nodded, followed Li Zhigao to the backyard. Halfway through, he saw a staff member of the Ministry of Works. Tan Zong remembered someone and asked quickly: "Would Mr. Cheng, who is from the Ministry of Works, be there?" After Tan Zong finished asking, he had an answer in his heart. The question was just looking forward to some unexpected surprises.

After all, Cheng Gaoweng was standing at the mouth of the collapsed dike at that time, and it can be said that he was swept into the river immediately. If the water was swept into the big field, it would be fine. If he was swept into the Qinhuai River, he would be afraid that his life would be gone.

Li Zhigao indeed shook his head and said, "The prince has sent out all the remaining guards in the headquarters, and even the soldiers of the Blood Flag Army have sent out a lot. But so far, they have only found some guards who had previously gone to the river embankment with the prince, but there is no news at present."

"Oh, it was my mistake this time." After Tan Zong finished speaking, he did not take it to heart. He just said casually. If anyone else had heard it, he would not take it seriously.

Li Zhigao indeed comforted him a few words of consolation. It was not until he entered a guest room in a yard that Li Zhigao changed the topic at the right time: "Sir, take a bath here and have clothes ready. The prince told him that he should be soaked in this hot soup for at least a quarter of an hour, otherwise he would waste many medicinal materials. He also said that if he did not finish drinking the ginger soup, he would not be allowed to see him."

Tan Zong was stunned. Only then did he realize that the bath water had medicinal ingredients added. He really surprised him - this kindness was really scary. I don’t know how many people were envious of them, but Tan Zong couldn’t refuse, so he finally had to smile bitterly and shake his head and go into the room.

Li Zhigao looked at Tan Zong's figure with envy, muttering in his mouth in a voice that only he could hear: "Only this adult in my family has such an honor. If it were someone else, the prince would not say anything." After that, Li Zhigao had a smile on his face, and a moment of pride was unconsciously wiped away.
