When Zhu Youzhen woke up again, it was already nearly dusk. Zhu Cunqi, who was sitting with his back to him, heard the movement, and just turned around and said "Your Highness", but he screamed in fright and pinned his head to the side.

Zhu Youzhen was still inexplicable, and when he looked down, he found that because of his own pillar, the robe that Zhu Cunqi had already covered himself was high, just like a small tent.

The cargo suddenly felt embarrassed, so he had to stand up and hand the robe back to Zhu Cunqi. Zhu Cunqi refused to put it on, but folded the robe and put it away.

Zhu Youzhen thought to himself: People must think that their clothes are contaminated by that thing, and they don't know how many times they have to wash them when they go back! He couldn't help but sigh, he finally set up a glorious image in front of this imperial sister, but now it was all ruined!

Fortunately, at this time, the foreman Hao Daming came over to report the situation, which can be regarded as relieving Zhu Youzhen.

It turned out that after a day of catharsis, the water level of the dammed lake had already begun to drop. The water from the lake was discharged into the Jinghe River through the diversion canal, and then was soon led to every village in Jingyang County through the canals that extended in all directions.

Taken together, these canals and ponds have a considerable water storage capacity, which is enough to withstand dozens of Jing rivers. By dusk, the water level downstream had increased by only about a foot. Even if the water is a little more ferocious, it is completely bearable.

Zhu Youzhen let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and only then did he be convinced that this battle to eliminate danger for the dammed lake had achieved a phased victory. The next thing is simple: as long as the water level of the dammed lake continues to drop slowly, and the Jing River can be used to discharge flood water downstream, no special measures need to be taken. In case the capacity of the canals and ponds is insufficient, it is completely timely to dig the pond in a low-lying place.

After the report was completed, Hao Daming did not forget to add a sentence: "Shopkeeper, you sleep well, this girl has been by your side for most of the day!" ”

After Hao Daming walked away, Zhu Youzhen said apologetically to Zhu Cunqi: "County Lord, I'm tired of you spending a day here, I'm really sorry!" It seems that there is nothing to do here, so I will send you back to Xi'an. ”

"The gate of Xi'an has long been closed at this time." Zhu Cunqi smiled slightly, "Your Highness refuses to invite Cunqi to Qinwangzhuang for a few days?" ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "Of course you are welcome!" But the houses in the palace have all collapsed, and everyone has been living in the earthquake shed for the past few days. The county lord has no need to suffer this crime. It's better to go after some time and wait for the palace to be rebuilt. ”

"Don't the prince and the princess also sleep in the earthquake shed?" Zhu Cunqi said stubbornly, "Cunqi is willing to share weal and woe with the prince!" ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion behind the mountain bag where they stopped. Zhu Youzhen frowned and said: "This Hao Daming is a good worker, but his temper is too violent, his management level is too low, and he always conflicts with his subordinates. This must be another fight, and I have to persuade him. ”

But before the words fell, Hao Daming suddenly went crazy and took a few people around the mountain bag, and quickly ran over here, shouting as he ran: "Kill!" ”

"What!" Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped Hao Daming and asked, "Who killed someone?" ”

Hao Daming said breathlessly: "Shopkeeper, hurry... Come on! It's bandits! ”

When it was too late, hundreds of bandits armed with sharp blades had already rushed from behind the mountain bag! The workers they drove away were unarmed and could only flee desperately. From time to time, someone was stabbed in the back or back of the head, fell to the ground with a scream, and was immediately chopped to death by the bandits who rushed up.

"I'm going to him! Where did this bandit come from! When Zhu Youzhen saw that his workers were killed, he was so angry that he subconsciously touched the flintlock pistol.

But when he touched it, he felt empty, and Zhu Youzhen remembered that since he left the Beijing Division, this life-saving flintlock pistol had fired dozens of shots, and the ammunition given by Tang Ruowang had already been exhausted. After coming to Qin Wangzhuang, he always wanted to take the time to replenish some ammunition, but he never had the opportunity, so he had to store the flintlock pistol in the mansion. At the time of the earthquake a few days ago, this gun was also crushed under the collapsed house, and it has not been found yet.

Without the flintlock pistol, the only thing that can be used for self-defense is the sword "No Trace" that Rui'er gave her. But Zhu Youzhen didn't know martial arts at all, and besides, he was facing hundreds of bandits, so he dared to go up and send him to death, so he had to pull up Zhu Cunqi and say: "Run!" ”

Zhu Cunqi was also frightened, and followed Zhu Youzhen to run away with one foot and one foot shallow one. Because the pursuers were too close, in order to narrow the target, Zhu Youzhen separated from Hao Daming and others, and fled separately.

Fortunately, the purpose of these bandits was not to kill but to rob, and although these workers had nothing of value on them, there were still more than 200 boxes of explosives left for the collapse of the mountain, and they swept them away. More than a dozen women in the ranks of the workers were also taken by the bandits.

Seeing that the harvest was very rich, the bandit leader led a large army to return home. But some of the bandits were still unwilling and continued to pursue the fleeing workers.

Behind Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cunqi, there were five or six bandits tightly embellished. They recognized Zhu Cunqi's white clothes, and thought that this woman was by no means comparable to ordinary village girls, if she could be taken back to the cottage, she would be happy every day, and she would not be jealous of other bandits.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Zhu Cunqi couldn't run anymore, and cried: "Your Highness, run by yourself, don't worry about Cunqi!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhu Youzhen still dragged her and ran wildly, "If I really throw you down as a woman, is that still a man!" ”

Seeing that there were still other bandits on the road, Zhu You pulled Zhu Cunqi and climbed to the top of the dam of the dammed lake with his hands and feet, hoping that the bandits would stop chasing. Who knew that these boys admitted to death, and they just refused to give up.

One of the emaciated bandits had the fastest legs and feet, and had already chased them to less than five feet away from them.

"Stop! Leave that chick behind, or Lao Tzu will catch you up, and I will have to dismantle you! The bandit shouted as he chased after him.

Zhu Youzhen can be regarded as having experienced a big scene, whether it is a Mongol or a Jurchen, what kind of vicious enemy has he not seen? But now he was chased so embarrassed by a few little thieves, and his heart was on fire. Without saying a word, he pulled out the Traceless Sword, turned around and rushed at the bandit.

When the bandit saw that Zhu Youzhen was not running away, he was secretly happy in his heart, and suddenly saw Zhu Youzhen slashing at him viciously with his sword.

This was really unexpected by the bandits. In the past, he robbed no less than dozens of times, and the common people either fled or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and he had not met a single one who dared to resist. However, he saw that Zhu Youzhen was not tall, and the sword was completely disorganized, so he didn't take it to heart, and raised his sword to greet him with a cruel smile.

But Zhu Youzhen had already been bloodied at this time, and he had already put life and death out of the way. He hoarsely yelled in his throat, "Kill!" So he slashed the top of the bandit's head with his sword.

The bandit estimated that Zhu Youzhen didn't have much strength at all, so he used a steel knife to block outward, trying to crash Zhu Youzhen's sword into the air. But I didn't expect that the end of this traceless sword was as sharp as clay, and the two weapons intersected, only to hear the sound of "click", and the steel knife had been broken in response.

And although Zhu Youzhen's sword momentum has been offset by seven or eight points, it still continues to fall downward. Now the bandit was dumbfounded, and it was too late to hide. With a "snort", the blade of the sword had already slashed through the middle of the bandit's head.

In fact, this sword did not have much strength, and the head was the hardest part of the human bone, and although the bandit was stabbed, he only suffered some skin wounds. But the sharp tip of the sword still cut a long hole in his head, and blood poured out, obscuring the bandit's eyes.

After all, this bandit is just a small minion, and his combat effectiveness is not much stronger than Zhu Youzhen. As soon as he was slightly injured, he howled like a pig, threw down half of the steel knife and turned his head and ran. Unexpectedly, his eyes were stung by blood and he couldn't open them, and he tripped and fell on all fours.

"Your Highness, let's run!" Zhu Cunqi saw that the bandit had lost his attack power, and hurriedly urged Zhu Youzhen to continue to run.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes showed a fierce light, he took two steps forward, raised his sword and slashed at the bandit's neck.

Even the steel knife can't resist the slash of the Traceless Sword, and the flesh and blood of a person can be imagined. Hearing only the sound of "poof", the bandit was already in a different place, and blood spurted out of the cavity, splashing Zhu Youzhen's face.

Zhu Youzhen still didn't give up, leaned over and picked up the bloody human head, raised it high above his head, and yelled at the few bandits behind him: "If you don't want to die, come on, grandpa will cut you one by one and hang it!" ”

The bandits were all stunned, looked at each other, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen throw away the head, turned back to Zhu Cunqi and said, "I scared them away, let's go quickly!" ”

Zhu Cunqi was discolored, his delicate body trembled, looking at Zhu Youzhen's bloody face and slightly hideous face, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, he couldn't take a step, and he couldn't say a word. She was born in the palace since she was a child, and she had never seen such a bloody scene. Especially when she didn't expect that Zhu Youzhen usually looked very kind, but when he was angry, he was very terrible, and he even killed an enemy with his own hands!

At this time, shouting was heard again under the dam. It turned out that another group of bandits also discovered Zhu Youzhen and the others, and chased after them by feeling the rocks. The bandits who were scared away by Zhu Youzhen saw that their companions came to help, and they were a lot more courageous, and they rushed up with a shout.

Zhu Youzhen was just lucky to kill one person just now, how could he deal with more than a dozen bandits at the same time? He hurriedly and anxiously urged Zhu Cunqi to run quickly, but Zhu Cunqi just couldn't run.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Zhu Youzhen said with a heart: "County Lord, offended!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up Zhu Cunqi, and ran to the top of the dam in a panic.

After a short time, Zhu Youzhen finally climbed to the top of the dam panting. And the pursuers behind gradually caught up, and they were only about twenty steps away from the top of the dam.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhu You looked at the black water surface in the dammed lake, and suddenly had an idea: "County Lord, can you swim?" ”

"I will!" Zhu Cunqi replied in a trembling voice.

"Then I'll jump! One, two, three! Zhu Youzhen hugged Zhu Cunqi tightly and shouted, and then jumped into the biting lake.
