137. Expectation


It's dawn, the dark clouds disperse, and the sun rises.

It was the first clear day after nearly ten days of continuous heavy rain.

When I saw the sun, it seemed that I had not seen it for a long time.

After taking a short rest, Ye Lu got up.

Shen Tuyi's voice came from the outer hall, low and cold and stern.

He was dealing with the Yellow River dam matter on Zhu Beiyu's behalf.

After fumbling with washing and wiping his face, Ye Lu touched his eyes to see if he could open them.

However, when she opened her eyelashes, pain hit her, causing her to close her eyes instantly.

The stinging pain was like a needle prick, and tears flowed down her face.

She couldn't open her eyes for two whole days, and she didn't know if her eyes were healed.

At that time, she was very excited when she opened her eyes and saw the hazy light, but now it hurt so much when she tried to open her eyes, which made the little excitement in her heart burn out.

Closing his eyes, the pain was relieved a lot.

Ye Lu sighed and let it be like this for the time being.

If she really couldn't open her eyes for the rest of her life, it wouldn't be a big deal.

It would also prevent her eyeballs from shrinking and letting Shen Tuyi see her and affect her mood.

After groping, Ye Lu walked out of the bedroom, and the people who spoke in the hall fell silent at the same time.

"Wake up."

Shen Tuyi came over, grabbed her hand, and led her to sit on a chair in the hall.

"It won't rain today, but the river should still be flooded.

If there is extra wormwood, we have to throw it into the river.

We can't stop."

Ye Lu took a deep breath, and the smell of sunshine drifted into the hall, and it smelled very good.

"Yang Yi sent over a dozen carts of mugwort, but it shouldn't be enough."

Shen Tuyi sat down next to her and stayed up all night.

A beard grew on his chin, making him look more masculine.

It's a pity that Ye Lu can't see it.

"It's not enough, we need more."

She shook her head slightly, but Yang Yi's act of sending goose feathers thousands of miles away made her very touched.

This friend was not in vain.

The people in the hall retreated, but within a moment, the maid brought breakfast.

Shen Tuyi took Ye Lu and sat down at the dining table, then put the chopsticks in her hands and told her which dish was in which position in front of her before he sat down next to her.

Holding the chopsticks, Ye Lu curled his red lips and said, "I'm probably quite uneasy now.

City Lord Shentu, if you have to take care of me like this in this life, I wonder if there will be a day when you become irritable."

If it were her words , she will definitely be irritable sometimes.

"If you remember my kindness all your life, maybe I won't be irritated."

Shen Tuyi picked up the green vegetables and put them into her mouth with skillful movements.

"Of course I remember, City Lord Shentu, you are the best.

Look, you are as good as you are, plus you are so good that no one has ever done it before, it is super, super good."

Putting down her chopsticks, she first raised her left hand and gave a thumbs up , then raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up, with the two thumbs overlapping, extremely sincerely.

Looking at her, Shen Tuyi curved his thin lips and said, "Let's eat."

Smiling, even though her eyes were closed, her closed eyes were still like crescent moons when she smiled.

After breakfast, Shen Tuyi took Ye Lu to Zhu Beiyu's room.

Before I walked in, the smell of mugwort wafted out, and it smelled very fresh.

Entering the bedroom, Ye Lu heard Zhu Beiyu's breathing.

He used to make almost no sound when breathing.

After all, he was highly skilled in martial arts.

But he couldn't even breathe quietly at this time, which showed how weak he was.

"Master Zhu is sleeping.

He looks very weak."

Shen Tuyi could see it and told Ye Lu.

"He will definitely stay in bed for a long time to recuperate, but he will be fine."

As he said that, Ye Lu sat on the edge of the bed, and then groped for Zhu Beiyu's hand.

His hands were normally warm, and the fever from last night had disappeared.

However, he is now very weak and needs to recuperate.

"So, what should we do next?"

Shen Tuyi looked at her hands with a calm expression.

"Build a tower.

There is a high hill in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which is just right.

If Dajin can cooperate and build a tower on the opposite side, it will be done.

If they don't do it, there will be nothing they can do, and the God of Plague will go They are there."

Ye Lu let go of Zhu Beiyu's hand and calculated the location and time.

"Is the tower similar to the one in the Prince's Mansion?"

Shen Tuyi had only seen that one tower.

"Yes, but it must be built at a high place.

As for the time, it is best to start construction tomorrow.

Prepare today."

Calculating the time, Ye Lu felt that tomorrow would be the best.

"Okay."

Shen Tuyi nodded, what she said must make sense.

"Now you can agree to whatever I say.

It would be better if you could be more open-minded."

Ye Lu smiled, except that he was still so small-minded, he had changed a lot.

As she became blind, Shen Tuyi kept accommodating her, and she fully felt it.

"It's a beautiful thought."

From this point of view, Shen Tuyi would never change.

"Okay, okay, I think it's beautiful."

She couldn't stop laughing.

She just liked hearing Shen Tuyi say that she wanted to be beautiful.

Raising his hand to touch her head, Shen Tuyi's movements were very gentle, not like he always hit her head like in the past.

Ever since she lost her sight, Shen Tuyi seemed to have stopped hitting her on the head.

Yang Yi sent over a dozen carts of mugwort, and after finishing the matter, he rushed to Zhu Beiyu's mansion.

"This smell makes my nose lose its function."

Yang Yi came here smelling this smell along the way, and when he entered the house, he still smelled this smell.

"Thank you City Master Yang, you came in time."

Hearing his voice, Ye Lu curled up his red lips.

"Thank you.

As soon as I heard that you were searching for mugwort everywhere, I immediately sent people to search and buy mugwort throughout the city.

People in Yangcheng especially like to collect mugwort in spring to dry and use for later use.

There is even more than what is found in the pharmacy."

Therefore, he found more than a dozen cars in his Yangcheng.

"This is a good habit.

Mugwort has many functions.

It can not only be eaten and used as medicine, but also can ward off evil spirits."

Ye Lu nodded repeatedly.

It's a pity that many people don't know.

Some people don't like the taste, but they don't know that it has many functions.

"I only know that mosquito repellent is very strong."

Yang All I know is that it repels mosquitoes very well.

"Yang Yi shook his head slightly.

He really didn't know it had so many effects.

"So, we have to rely on them this time.

Otherwise, the Yellow River may really not be touched."

By then, it will become a completely poisonous river, and whoever touches it will die.

"Isn't there a problem now?

I heard that many people in the isolation camp have fallen ill, and Master Zhu.

How is he doing?"

Yang Yi asked while drinking tea.

He was still very concerned.

"He's fine.

He just needs to rest."

Ye Lu fumbled for the tea cup, picked it up, and drank the tea.

"That's good.

When this disease strikes, we realize that life is so fragile.

As a result, I just drank a bowl of mugwort water, which was too unpleasant to drink."

As if recalling the taste again, his whole face twitched.

Ye Lu couldn't help but laugh, how could the medicine be so delicious?

"By the way, I heard that the emperor is dead.

This news came from the imperial capital the day before yesterday.

It has been two days now.

I think it is already..."

Yang Yi looked at Shen Tuyi.

He must have known the news. of.

Shen Tuyi's expression was cold, and he seemed to be extremely unconcerned.

"At this time, the emperor is probably dead.

But it will take time for the news to be delivered.

Why don't City Lord Yang make a trip?"

City Lords from all over the north should rush to the imperial capital, but with the heavy rain in the south, they may not be able to leave. .

"I came here specially to assist Young Master Zhu, but I don't have enough time.

Moreover, His Highness will not pick any problems.

Don't worry, it will not be too late to rush there when His Highness's enthronement ceremony is held."

Yang Yi leisurely, even if Shen Tuyi Here, he says the same thing.

Hearing this, Shen Tuyi didn't show any expression.

If that person dies, he will die.

"Moreover, just because of the heavy rain in the south and the flooding of the Yellow River, His Highness will not hold a national memorial ceremony.

According to royal etiquette, the emperor will be buried in the most economical way.

Alas, it's time to change your words, late emperor."

Yang Ye shook his head as he said, I couldn't change my words for a while.

"That's fine, lest the people curse.

Of course, big money must be spent in the right place.

He doesn't know how much it will cost him if he dies."

Ye Lu put down the tea cup.

Long Zhi did the right thing, the more economical the better.

"Just say this in the room.

If others hear it, you will stop being a national master."

Yang Yi agreed with her words.

Money should be spent on living people.

However, this must not be said.

She curled her lips.

She couldn't use her eyes, but her mouth could still be used, and the various movements she made were extremely accurate.

"Did you bring me that leg bone to build the tower?

I want to use it."

The leg bone fell into the palace of Yangcheng City Lord.

Yingyan took her away, and she was the only one he took with him. .

"Bring it here, and you're talking about getting a human leg bone and taking it wherever you go.

You, the Imperial Master, are really weird."

Yang Yi nodded, and then waved to the guards outside to bring the things in.

After a moment, the guard came in, holding a leg bone wrapped in red cloth.

Holding it in his hand, Ye Luchang exhaled, "It would be great to have it.

It will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Mr.

Xu said that this leg bone combines the skills of the last generation of the Yi family."

Shen Tuyi looked at the leg bone in her hand, and it was difficult to imagine how a person's own skills could be transferred to a leg bone.

"That's right, so now the only one left in the Chiliyi family, Yiqi, doesn't know anything.

This is used to deal with the Yimeng lineage who was expelled from the family, but now only Yizhu is left.

He There are no descendants, and it is bound to become extinct.

"So this leg bone is of great use, not only for dealing with Yi Zhu, but also for Ye Lu.

"I don't understand your sect, but it's just a very evil sect."

Yang Yi slowly shook his head, not understanding.

But without saying a word, Ye Lu held the leg bone.

If all the secrets in this were known to outsiders, then their profession would no longer need to be mixed up.

Shen Tuyi sent someone to deliver the news to Da Jin, assuming that his attitude would not be very good.

He just let Ying Yan think about whether to cooperate.

The water in the Yellow River was unstable, so it took two days to send the news.

Towers had already begun to be built in Tiecheng here.

There is a high hill, from which one can have a glimpse of the entire Iron City.

This used to be an observation deck for Iron City Soldiers and Horses, with simple houses built there.

Now it has been completely demolished and towers have begun to be built.

With more people and greater strength, the foundation was quickly dug out.

The sun was directly above our heads, and the sky was blue and cloudless, as if the heavy rain a few days ago was a thing of the past.

The wind was flying, and the cloak on his body was swaying and rustling in the wind.

Ye Lu stood next to Shen Tuyi.

He held her waist with one hand, and in front of him was the excavated foundation.

Facing the direction of the Yellow River, across the Yellow River is Dajin.

If Yingyan can cooperate with Qi and build a tower opposite, the god of plague will definitely be kept out.

Moreover, the Yellow River will not be easily flooded in the future, which is a great good thing.

If Yingyan does not cooperate, then there is nothing we can do and the plague will land in Dajin.

With the hood covered on his head, Ye Lu turned to face the person next to him.

With his eyes closed, he could fully feel the gentleness in his movements.

"When does it start?"

He lowered his eyes and looked at her.

In Shen Tuyi's sight, she was so petite, but she had infinite power at this moment, but it was difficult to see it easily.

"Now."

She curled her red lips, and her fair face seemed to be condensed with fat.

"Okay."

Looking away, Shen Tuyi signaled, and the armored soldiers immediately moved towards the riverside carrying gunpowder.

Soon, the gunpowder was moved onto the dam, and six rafts were placed under the dam.

The gunpowder was strung into strings and quickly placed on the rafts.

As the sun rose little by little, the black-armored soldiers lit the torches, and several others untied the ropes that bound the raft.

As the last rope was untied, the black-armored soldier took off the bow and arrow on his back.

The tip of the long arrow was tied with cotton, and it caught fire instantly when it touched the torch.

Aiming at the raft drifting with the current, six arrows were fired.

In just a blink of an eye, the long arrows landed on the raft, and the raft burned instantly.

The next moment, explosions sounded on the Yellow River, the bombing raft shattered, and the river splashed. above the high hill The high hill also seemed to be affected, shaking for a moment, but soon calmed down.

Standing against the wind, holding the leg bone in his hand, Ye Lu slowly inserted the leg bone in his hand into the soil under his feet.

As the leg bone entered the soil, the surging water of the Yellow River began to become calm inexplicably.

It no longer seemed like a roaring flow, but became gentle.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Yellow River.

The roar of the river was deafening just now, but at this moment, they changed their appearance.

Even if you don't want to believe it, you have to believe it at this time.

Some things are so magical that they cannot be explained in words.

Everyone's eyes were on Huangjiang, except Shen Tuyi, who was looking at the people around her.

She slowly squatted on the ground, as if she had lost all strength.

After a long while, Ye Lu made a move and pulled out the leg bone that was embedded in the soil.

The part that was embedded in the soil had turned dark, as if it had suddenly rotted.

"Let's start the construction."

Standing up following Shen Tuyi's strength, Ye Lu spoke.

Soldiers and workers jumped into the foundation one after another and built with black and gray stone bricks.

The speed was very fast, and what was displayed was clearly a piece of gossip.

The huge Eight Diagrams covers the foundation, and is used to suppress all evil spirits.

Especially the righteousness of Tie Zhu Er City is awe-inspiring, and this Eight Diagrams is like being blessed.

The water flow of the Yellow River has become stable, and the wind blowing seems to have become gentle and fresh.

The turbid breath drifts away with the wind.

It seems that there is a pair of invisible hands between heaven and earth, washing the sky and the earth again.

"Okay, let's go."

Taking a deep breath, Ye Lu's heart finally settled down.

When the tower is completed, all disasters will be gone.

Leaning down, Shen Tuyi picked her up and strode down the high hill.

Waving the leg bone in his hand, Ye Lu let Shen Tuyi hold it very safely and relaxedly.

The sun was shining on his face and the breeze was blowing.

He couldn't be more comfortable.

"I have no way of knowing Yingyan's movements, so the Lord of Youlao Shentu City is always paying attention.

As for me, I want to take a nap.

I feel so tired and my eyes are uncomfortable."

I closed my eyes and didn't dare to open them.

At this time, the big thing has been done.

After that, she felt even more weak.

"I want the doctor to check you out.

I don't know what kind of medicine Yingyan used."

Shen Tuyi's tone was very cold.

If Ye Lu's eyes were really damaged and there was no chance of recovery, he would really kill him. , at all costs.

"Okay, it's up to you, but let me sleep first."

She was so tired, and she slept for no more than an hour in the past two days.

"Yes."

He carried her onto the carriage and returned to Zhu's Mansion.

The entire mansion was filled with the smell of mugwort.

Zhu Beiyu was still resting in bed.

His whole body was weak and the evil spirits were driven away, but he could not escape this serious illness.

The people in the isolation camp are still undergoing treatment.

Now that the tower has been built, I believe their lives are not in danger.

But like Zhu Beiyu, he will definitely suffer from a serious illness.

Holding Ye Lu in his arms, Shen Tuyi sent her directly to the guest room.

Not long after they entered the house, the guards began to deliver hot water to the room.

Listening to the sound of rushing water, Ye Lu couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable.

She had indeed not taken a shower for a long time.

"It's time to take a shower.

I probably stink already."

He raised his arm and smelled himself.

Although he couldn't smell anything, Ye Lu felt that the smell on his body must be unpleasant.

"It does have a strange smell."

Shen Tuyi found some clean clothes for her and said calmly.

"City Lord Shentu, although you have a sharp tongue, I think you are still polite.

This is not a strange smell, it is a bad smell."

The smelly medicine she drank during the Jin Dynasty had a strong taste.

Shen Tuyi pursed his thin lips slightly and glanced at her, "That's right."

"Che" Even though he knew it, he still wasn't happy to hear it coming out of his mouth.

"The water is ready, let's take a shower."

Shen Tuyi came over and pulled her up, then started to take off her clothes.

Raising his arms to hug himself, Ye Lu frowned, "You really plan to give me a bath?

Even though I can't see, I'm not paralyzed.

I can wash myself."

The movement of unbuttoning her buttons stopped there.

Shen Tuyi looked at her slowly turning red face, and his dark eyes couldn't help but darken, "If you didn't say this, I really wouldn't think much about it."

"Then you should cut off any evil thoughts that pop up now and don't think about them."

Being thought of by him made me happy for sure, but even more shy.

Seeing her almost unreasonable order, a faint smile appeared in Shen Tuyi's black eyes, "Sure, I don't want to."

Hearing this, Ye Lu choked up, "You can't even look at it if you don't want to."

"So are you asking me to touch you?"

It sounded like this was her purpose.

"Shut up."

Shen Tuyi raised her hand to cover his mouth, leaning back slightly to avoid it, and then unbuttoned the second button of her clothes.

"Be obedient, I will help you.

There are not many maids in this mansion, and they are all taking care of Young Master Zhu.

What's more, I don't trust them to take care of you, after all, they have no experience.

You be good, sooner or later we will be honest with each other, now Are you still shy?"

Shen Tuyi continued to unbutton her clothes while lowering her voice.

He spoke so gently, and the tenderness oozing out of his coldness was irresistible.

"To be honest, you can see me, but I can't see you.

Why not, it's only fair if you let me touch it first."

She pouted dissatisfiedly, and she was particularly disadvantaged now.

"You're not shy anymore when you say such things."

Shen Tuyi seemed speechless.

She was very good at taking advantage of others.

Curving her red lips, Ye Lu stretched out her hands and pressed on his chest, "I can't see him anyway, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."

He said this, but his face turned red.

Letting her touch him, Shen Tuyi took off her clothes layer by layer, until only her underwear was left.

Although she is petite in stature, she is exquisite and has a lot of everything she should have.

Bending down, Shen Tuyi picked her up.

She leaned softly in his arms, as obediently as a kitten.

Ye Lu closed her eyes, but she could feel it.

His hands were placed on the crook of her legs and between her ribs.

The crook of the leg and between the ribs were warm and a bit rough.

The next moment, he leaned forward slightly and slowly put her into the tub.

The hot water spread, and Ye Lu couldn't help but let out a long breath, "It's so hot."

Putting her completely into the tub, Shen Tuyi immediately pulled her long hair out.

On the high chair outside was a wooden basin with hot water inside, which was used to wash her hair.

With a few careful movements, Shen Tuyi soaked her long hair and then washed it for her.

The back of his neck was resting on the edge of the tub, and Ye Lu had a smile on his face.

He would have no regrets if he could be served by Lord Shentu in this life.

I couldn't help but think of the first time I saw him, he was full of evil aura, cold and cold, and could scare people to death.

But who would have thought that for such a person, who could be as gentle as a puddle of water, and who could also take care of and serve her caringly, no one would believe it.

However, since he had never done anything like this before, Shen Tuyi pulled out Ye Lu's hair several times.

Ye Lu frowned from time to time.

As long as she frowned, it meant that another hair of hers had been pulled out by him.

After the washing was almost done, Shen Tuyi took a towel and wiped her long hair.

Ye Lu started to take a bath himself.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He was by his side, but he couldn't see it, so his shyness faded a little.

Pulling off his underwear and throwing it out, Ye Lu pursed his lips without hearing the sound of landing, "You caught him."

"Don't throw it away casually."

Shen Tuyi put her underwear aside and continued to wipe her hair.

"Throw it away, otherwise I won't be able to wash it."

If you can't see it, you can't even wash the clothes.

"I'll wash it."

Shen Tuyi responded in a cold voice, but Ye Lu's ears felt hot.

"Oh, it seems that I really saved the world in my previous life, so I can get such a top-notch man as Lord Shentu in this life."

He actually wanted to wash her underwear.

"It's good to know, keep it in your mind and heart, and remember it for the rest of your life."

Shen Tuyi glanced at her, and then looked away.

She was not wearing any clothes, and the water was transparent, so it was easy to see under the water. scenery.

For him, those scenery are fatal.

If there is a slight lack of control, he may do irrational things.

"I will definitely remember the good things that City Lord Shentu did.

I can't count them, but I will definitely remember them for the rest of my life.

Are you satisfied?"

Carefully, she said Ying Yan was good once, and he has remembered it until now.

"You know what's going on."

With a calm tone, Shen Tuyi let go of her half-dried hair, then turned around and took the bath towel over.

Red lips curled, Ye Lu listened to the movement and stood up suddenly the next moment.

The person who had half unfolded the bath towel paused, his dark eyes starting from the edge of the tub and gradually moving upwards, finally fixed on Ye Lu's face.

"It's washed."

Ye Lu stood there with his eyes closed, waiting for him to wrap himself in a bath towel.

Slowly walking forward, Shen Tuyi unfolded the towel to wrap her up, and then used his arms to pull her into his arms.

Heat and water vapor drifted over her body.

Shen Tuyi narrowed his eyes almost, and the hand placed on her back slowly moved to the back of her head, brushing her long damp hair while lowering his head.

Feeling something, Ye Lu raised his face and waited, and sure enough, his lips fell down the next moment.

Tightening her arms, she was held tightly in his arms, her lips and tongues entangled, his eagerness and excitement made Ye Lu completely breathless.

The squeaking sound escaped from his throat uncontrollably, and his body was clenched tightly again.

Ye Lu felt that he was almost suffocating.

The kiss shifted and slid to the side of her neck.

Ye Lu raised his head, and his long hair fell like a waterfall.

"Shen Tuyi..."

He bit the side of her neck lightly, causing a slight pain that made her call out his name.

Sucking the side of her neck, the next moment, Shen Tuyi slowly let go of her, once again clasped the back of her head and pressed her into his arms.

He lay on the side of her neck and took a deep breath.

The veins on Shen Tuyi's forehead were bulging, which looked a bit scary at first glance.

Leaning in his arms and smelling his scent, Ye Lu felt light and airy.

Hearing Shen Tuyi's fast heartbeat, he was as excited as she was.

After a while, Shen Tuyi seemed to calm down, let go of her, and then leaned over to fish her out of the water.

Back on the bed, the gauze curtain was lowered, Shen Tuyi gave her the underwear, and Ye Lu fumbled to put on the underwear.

"Get some sleep.

I'm going to take a look at the dam.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

When you wake up, I'll be back."

He was now handling the floods in the Yellow River on Zhu Beiyu's behalf.

Since he was doing this, he would naturally do his best.

"Well, okay."

After putting on his middle coat, Ye Lu slowly lay down and stretched out his limbs, feeling very comfortable.

Leaning over, Shen Tuyi kissed her on the forehead and then left.

Lying on the bed, Ye Lu's red lips curled.

Now, she was particularly looking forward to getting married to Shen Tuyi and the wedding night.

As she said just now, she probably did some earth-shattering good deeds in her previous life.

That's why I came here inexplicably and met Shen Tuyi.

Everything seems to have traces, and his traces probably come from Shen Tuyi.

She came here because of him.

So, even if she really had to pay something for it, she felt it was worth it
