The sound of footsteps could be heard from all directions. This place was indeed heavily guarded! He sneaked into a small tent in a flash. A woman inside was about to scream when Gong Dai knocked her unconscious and dragged her to a dark place.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came over. A man fiercely lifted the curtain and asked, "Inside! Did you see anyone suspicious?! "
A little girl bowed her head in fear, "No …"
Seeing her timid appearance, the man was too lazy to ask and went straight to the next tent.
Gong Dai listened attentively for a while and confirmed that the man had gone far. He then stood up and dragged the woman out from under the bed.
Lou Ye's hierarchy was very clear, and it could be seen from the clothes he wore. Civilians could only wear dark blue, dark green, black, gray and other colors. The higher the rank, the brighter the color. The most honorable color was gold, the color of the sun.
Just now, he had loosened his hair to cover his face. In addition, he was still young and did not have the handsome figure that he would later have. Moreover, he had casually put on a woman's clothes. At first glance, he looked quite stunning. And this clothes was light purple.
But the woman in front of him lived in the most remote tent. It could be seen that she was a songstress.
Gong Dai's eyes seemed to be burning. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and looked meaningfully at the woman in front of him …
The woman slowly woke up. Before she could scream, Gong Dai covered her mouth. He showed the purest smile. His black jade-like eyes flickered under the light of the fire in the tent.
"Do you want to make a deal?"

The excavation of the canal continued, but because the rumors were getting more and more intense, it made GongYimo feel a sense of crisis.
She could not help but be more careful with the use of lust, reducing the dosage. From time to time, she would perform a few times in front of people. Many people who came because of the fame were disappointed and thought that the rumors were exaggerated and did not live up to the name.
But she still had to do it. She looked up at the huge monster in front of her and was very happy! Such a beautiful steel ship wrapped in metal, Gong Cheng would definitely like it, right?
She looked at the ship and saw that there was nothing else to add. She could not help but touch her chin and think, should she make a majestic dragon head in front? After all, it seemed that emperors liked dragons, right?
GongYimo decided to do it right away. She planned to personally carve a model for the craftsman to complete. At that time, she would get a super luxurious dragon boat as a birthday present. That uncle definitely hadn't received it before!
However, the atmosphere outside was still becoming increasingly tense.
Finally, one afternoon, one of Gong Che's most trusted advisors came to look for GongYimo. He looked flustered and almost tripped several times when he ran over!
"Bad news!"
"What happened?"
GongYimo put down the mold in his hand and looked at him with a slight frown.
That person's mouth moved, but in the end, he really didn't know what to say. He only said, "You should go to the river and take a look!"
When GongYimo heard this, she hurriedly followed him. In the end, she felt that he was too slow and used her Qing Gong to head towards the river. There were already quite a number of people gathered there …
"It is said that when King Wu excavated the Jade Dragon Canal, on the day the canal was completed, a bronze cauldron was sunk to suppress the river. Has it been dug out now?"
"That's right … I heard that there are words on it!"
"… What words?"
Rumors flashed past GongYimo's ears. When she pushed through the crowd, Gong Che was already there. That cauldron which was said to be an ancient relic was covered up. It seemed that Gong Che was preparing to transport it away.
However, what was the use of transporting it away now?
GongYimo took a few steps forward. Gong Che was in a daze and didn't stop her, allowing her to lift up the cover. Indeed, it was a large cauldron with spots of copper. There were three sides of the cauldron, one was the head of a cow, a goat, and a pig. It symbolized the sacrifice of three animals. Below the cow's head, there were a few very eye-catching words engraved on it!
"The man who built the canal will bless the world!"
These rebellious words once again appeared in front of everyone, causing a burst of exclamations!
GongYimo frowned as she looked at it. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "This was the sacrifice that King Wu gave to the river god after he built the canal. He wanted to use the canal to conquer the world! Why did he cover it up? "
GongYimo's words caused the crowd to whisper. Just now, they all thought that this was a sign from the heavens that the Crown Prince should inherit the throne! Hearing GongYimo's words, it was more like King Wu's wish to himself.
Gong Che's face looked better, but it was still very pale. He and GongYimo looked at each other. They both knew that it wasn't important how the people saw this matter. What was important was how the person who passed the news to the Emperor would pass on this matter.
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
"Brother Crown Prince, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
GongYimo couldn't think of any clues. Because in her understanding, this was a very small matter. However, in this place, it could be a capital offense!
Gong Che frowned slightly. At this moment, he had already thought it through. He planned to rush to the capital through the night. He would first take the water route to Xu Yuan's place and then ride a horse.
This matter could be big or small. He had to personally explain this matter to the Emperor. Also, he hadn't seen his Imperial Mother for a long time. He also wanted to see her … … Presumably, as long as he could arrive in time and explain GongYimo's "theory of King Wu" to his Imperial Father, his Imperial Father would feel much better.
His idea wasn't without reason. In addition, GongYimo didn't have any better suggestions so she agreed. She stayed behind to continue building the canal.
However, the other party obviously didn't want to let them off so easily.
GongYimo hadn't fallen asleep yet. A burst of hurried footsteps was heard. She quickly sat up. Following that, she heard a burst of crying.
"What happened?" When she came out, she bumped into the person who came to report to her.
"Not good! The Crown Prince has been assassinated and his life is at stake! "
His words were like a warning bell, fiercely ringing in her ears.
She hurried into the room, which was full of people. Most of them were the accompanying imperial doctors.
"How is the situation?" GongYimo asked Imperial Doctor Xu, who was checking the Crown Prince's pulse.
Imperial Doctor Xu frowned and shook his head: "The situation is not good. A sword pierced through the Crown Prince's heart. If he didn't take a Dahuan pill in time to save his life, the Crown Prince will be in danger!"
Obviously, they were all close officials, but they were assassinated as soon as they left the house. There must be a mole. However, this was not the time to denounce them. GongYimo quickly called a person in. This person was the Crown Prince's study companion. He was absolutely trustworthy.
"You immediately set off to the capital by land and report to the emperor about the Crown Prince's assassination. Don't delay!"
"Yes!"
GongYimo looked at his back as he left. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was inappropriate. She called another person and told him to send two people, one by water and the other by land.
But even so, she was still very uneasy. She stayed up all night and guarded Gong Che until dawn.
