Chapter 86:
It has been raining heavily for several days.
As soon as Jun Huailang returned to the mansion that day, he went to his father to ask.
His father didn't know about the deadline, so he promised to ask the person next to him in the next two days. Jun Huailang agreed and was about to leave.
Just then, his father stopped him.
"Huailang," he said. "The farmland on the outskirts of the south has been a little waterlogged these days. The prefect asked me to come and see it in two days. Would you like to go with me?"
Jun Huailang was silent for a moment, then listened to his father continue: "King Guangling is also going. You two have always been on good terms, he is a rare talent in governing the world, you can walk together, you can also Learn more from him."
Jun Huailang pursed her lips.
"Forget it, father." After a while, he smiled faintly and said. "It was exhausting and exhausting all the way. "
Mr. Yongning was puzzled: "Huh? Are you going to the academy in the next few days?"
Jun Huailang nodded.
Emperor Yongning never spoke much about his decisions, so he hummed when he heard the words, and said, "It's better to read more books. Although you can learn real things in the yamen, you must first If you do your studies well, you will be able to do other things.”
Jun Huailang nodded in agreement, then bowed to say goodbye.
Yongning Gong was silent, and added: "Huailang, read more "The Doctrine of the Mean"."
Jun Huailang looked up at him.
I heard Duke Yongning say: "I know you have a strategy for your father, but it's always better to keep it in mind. Whether you're reading or doing things, don't show yourself in the eyes of others, just make it happen. Can."
He didn't talk much, he paused, and then added: "A person who has always been top-notch is enough. No matter how much, he will be easily destroyed."
Jun Huailang can understand what he means.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
My family background is already the most outstanding. If the other side is outstanding, it will be feared.
Because the top of his head is pressing the heaven and the imperial power, he is not allowed to climb to a higher place.
Jun Huailang nodded and replied, "Son obeys father's orders, please rest assured."
—
In the next few days, Jun Huailang went to the academy every day as he said.
Several days passed until his father left for the southern suburbs.
The southern suburbs are not close, but you can go back and forth within a day. Jun Huailang didn't go out to deliver it. After using the morning meal, he put up his umbrella again and left the yard.
The rain has not stopped for the past few days, and it has been extremely fierce. Their courtyard is already a bit waterlogged, and even the stone pavement that has been built several floors higher is full of water.
Walking all the way out, Jun Huailang just paid attention to his steps.
At this moment, Fu Yi, who was taking him out, whispered, "Master..."
Jun Huailang raised his head when he heard the words, and saw Xue Yan's master and servant standing at the gate of the courtyard not far away.
Xue Yan stood there quietly, holding an umbrella, watching him silently.
Jun Huailang's breathing stopped for a moment, and the feeling of being breathless from the kiss that day surged up from his chest.
Jun Huailang stopped.
He stopped, and Xue Yan didn't leave, as if waiting for him to pass by, still standing there.
Jun Huailang took a deep breath.
No matter how you hide, you can't hide. It's impossible to see him in the rest of your life.
He lowered his eyes and stepped forward slowly.
Xue Yan blocked in front of him.
He didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, as if to force him to speak first.
"…Your Majesty." Jun Huailang barely controlled his voice, making his voice sound steady and cold, with no emotion or trembling.
Xue Yan hummed.
"Where?" he asked. "Still going to the academy?"
Jun Huailang nodded.
Xue Yan was silent for a moment.
"I'm not here today," he said. "There's no need to hide that far."
Jun Huailang subconsciously retorted: "I'm not..."
What is not, it is.
Half he retorted, he couldn't continue, he just stopped halfway embarrassingly, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Xue Yan was silent.
After a while, he said, "I won't come to you, you just stay at home. It's raining so hard, what are you running around."
…he really hadn't seen each other for a while.
Under the umbrella, Jun Huailang hardly dared to look up at him. He suppressed the throbbing, and said lightly, "It's not running around, just having nothing to do, just reading."
Speaking, he wanted to bypass Xue Yan.
Xue Yan added: "...otherwise, after I come back today, I will move out."
Jun Huailang stopped.
He was a little bit contemptuous of himself.
When he heard Xue Yan's words, the first reaction in his heart was actually reluctance.
His hand holding the umbrella tightened, and the meridians on the back of the porcelain white hand gradually rose.
"...No need." He lowered his head, and the oil-paper umbrella blocked his expression. "No matter where the lord is, I have to read this book."
After he finished speaking, he walked around Xue Yan with an umbrella and walked straight over.
The bluestone road is not wide. When he passed by, Xue Yan let the umbrella aside to prevent the cold rain from splashing on Jun Huailang's shoulder.
The cold rain fell on him immediately.
Jun Huailang's hand holding the umbrella trembled again.
He ran away and walked away quickly.
It seems that no matter where he escapes, it is useless.
—
There was a thunderstorm outside the window.
It rained especially hard that day.
Jun Huailang was sitting in the academy, but he was not very at ease and looked out the window frequently.
He knows that when officials go out to patrol the suburbs on weekdays, they don't always prepare too many things in order to travel lightly.
With such a heavy rain, their tour group will definitely not go well today. In addition, the official roads outside the city are not smooth, and the country roads are even more difficult to walk.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but worry.
He was worried that his father was serious about his work and would not go home even if it rained heavily; he was also afraid that something would happen to them on the road and that he would be trapped outside the city during the heavy rain.
I also miss Xue Yan uncontrollably, and I can't help thinking about what he is doing at this time and whether he will run into any trouble.
Thinking of this, Jun Huailang involuntarily touched his lips.
The small wound has grown, and when I touch it, I can only feel a tiny scab.
It didn't hurt much.
The injury was caused by the canine teeth when Xue Yan was on a rampage. With only a slight pain, he sucked the blood beads away.
After the kiss was over, Xue Yan gasped and separated from him, and pecked and kissed the small wound.
"Jun Huailang, if you want to play stupid, forget about it tomorrow." He whispered. "But stop provoking me, I'm not a good person."
Jun Huailang pursed her lips.
At that time, his mind was blank, but now that he thinks about it, he always does not believe what Xue Yan said.
He said that he was not a good person, but he would give his life to save him. He endured it for a long time, and he never revealed his feelings for him to let him know.
And even that night... Although the kiss was fierce, it was shallow, with restraint on the edge of madness.
Xue Yan in his previous life, would he really do such a thing...
At this moment, his arm was bumped, which woke him up instantly.
He turned his head and saw Shen Liufeng sitting next to him, looking at him on his stomach.
"Huailang, what are you thinking?" he whispered. "Are you also thinking about your uncle and the others?"
Jun Huailang was stunned, then nodded.
The rain outside the window was very loud, and it was crackling on the bamboo leaves. Shen Liufeng came up to him without any consideration, and then whispered: "I'm also worried. rain..."
He paused, scratching his head embarrassedly.
"When the accident happened in Yangzhou that day, the rain was so heavy." He said. "I'm always a little uneasy."
Jun Huailang's eyes froze.
He said, of course, that day they were trapped in a landslide in the mountains of Yangzhou.
He didn't speak for a moment, Shen Liufeng never had any opinion, so he stared at him nervously.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm always a little uneasy..."
After a while, Jun Huailang smiled at him.
"Stop thinking about it," he said. "Read with peace of mind first, and after class is over, I'll take you to the South City Gate to welcome you."
Shen Liufeng nodded again and again.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder outside the window.
In the pouring rain, the thunder was far away and could not be heard clearly. However, after only hearing a few thunders, there were faint voices.
Jun Huailang frowned and looked out the window.
The voice is getting closer.
At this moment, a nursing home rushed into the classroom.
It was the dean of the academy who was in class. When he saw the man come in, he put down the book and asked, "What's the matter?"
The dean froze in place, and the students in the classroom were in an uproar.
Jun Huailang's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand holding the pen also tightened suddenly, almost standing up from the seat.
The dam collapsed?
The dam collapsed in the previous life, clearly it was July. Coupled with the situation he inspected on weekdays, although there was a lot of rain during this time, it would never wash the dam away.
Now and the previous life, even the time of the collapse is different... This is clearly not destiny, but man-made.
The dam will collapse only when someone moves hands and feet, and it is precisely because of the arrival of himself and Xue Yan this year that the officialdom of Jinling Mansion is completely different from the previous life, so that person will act in advance, contributed to the collapse of the dam.
… I even picked a time when neither Xue Yan nor the senior officials of Jinling were in the city.
It's already June, but Jun Huailang's back is cold.
At this moment, the nursing home said again: "President, there are many refugees whose houses are flooded outside. They want to take refuge in the academy. Look..."
The road at the entrance of Linjiang Academy is narrow because it is located on a hill beside the river, and the terrain is high and uneven. Because of this, the northern part of Jinling City was submerged a lot, and Linjiang Academy was a rare safe area.
Jun Huailang felt a little weird when he heard that.
The Yangtze River has a wide surface and abundant water flow. Coupled with the heavy rain this year, this rupture will definitely make the situation serious. However, when ordinary people face this kind of disaster, they usually mess up their hands and feet, rush to protect their families and rescue their belongings. Even if they flee, it is difficult to find the right direction. How can they go to the most reasonable place in the first time of the flood?
Jun Huailang suddenly thought that the dossier of the previous life said that when the flood came, there were many conflicts in the city.
The worst is in the academy. Refugees seized the houses, quarreled with the scholars, and quarreled afterward, injuring and killing many scholars.
At that time, he was still wondering why he was just hiding from the rain, but he would kill people.
...The problem is here.
The page in Jun Huailang's hand was suddenly broken by him.
The dean at the front of the podium heard the words and said quickly, "Go open the door and let the people come in and hide!"
The nursing home snorted and ran out.
"Slow!" Jun Huailang stood up.
Everyone in the classroom looked at him immediately.
His face was clearly expressionless, cold and aloof, but inexplicably made everyone feel a little more at ease when they saw him.
"There is something strange, don't open the door yet." He said. "I gonna go see."
