People were more and more concerned about whether the princess could really do what she said, to be able to connect the north and south in seven days.
At that time, it would be another great feat that would be passed down through the ages!
At the same time, they were more worried that such a princess who served the country and the people would be beheaded by the emperor because she defied the emperor. That would be a loss to the world!
Gong Yi Mo spent two days, without sleep or rest, rushing day and night to reach Hengshui! She directly broke into Xu Yuan's room!
At this time, Xu Yuan was also not asleep and was thinking hard in front of the table. When he saw GongYimo, he rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.
"Princess! Why are you here! "After saying this, his expression suddenly became strange," What happened? "
He said it with certainty, as if he knew what would happen.
GongYimo was extremely tired, but when she heard his words, she instinctively frowned, "What do you know?"
Xu Yuan was stunned by her question, and a vexed expression appeared on his face …
"Two days ago … Li Ke passed by here."
GongYimo was already prepared, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but tremble.
It's okay, she was just too tired …
Seeing her pale face, Xu Yuan couldn't bear it, "Princess, don't be too sad …"
When Xu Yuan said this, he was very angry! "We didn't expect Li Ke to be such a person. For the sake of ambition, he didn't even tell his friends to the emperor! Two days ago, he was ordered to return to the capital. With the emperor's imperial edict, I couldn't stop him. Otherwise, I really wanted to beat him up! "
"There's no need to say anymore …"
Although GongYimo was tired at this time, she was very clear that Li Ke must have sided with Imperial Concubine Long. Not only did he attack the crown prince, but he also betrayed the fact that she had a huge killing weapon in her hands. No wonder the emperor would give orders one after another. It wasn't that he didn't know that Gong Che was assassinated. It was very likely that the emperor knew that Gong Che was assassinated, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to get the thing in her hands! Or perhaps it was as she had guessed. Something must have happened that made him want to leave!
GongYimo closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with determination!
"Right now, the Emperor wants the Crown Prince to return to the capital. However, the Crown Prince has been attacked by an assassin and his life is at stake. Therefore, there is no need to say anything else! I want to open the water route within a week so that Brother Crown Prince can take a boat back to the capital. Otherwise, the Crown Prince will suffer the pain of the bumpy journey and die on the way. "
Xu Yuan was in a difficult position. "What should I do? I've also received a decree to return to the capital immediately … Moreover, it's impossible to open the waterway within a week. Princess, why waste your energy?"
GongYimo looked at him deeply. "Whether or not it's a waste of effort … you'll know in the future … Forget it, you can go back first. But the men here must stay and serve me!"
Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he said awkwardly, "But … I've already dismissed the farmers today, and told them not to come anymore …"
GongYimo frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. "It's fine. I have my own plans. You just need to give me the Crown Prince's transfer order and return to the capital."
Xu Yuan nodded. "Don't worry. After I return to the capital, I'll contact my friends to plead for you."
"No need." GongYimo sighed. "You just need to tell the Emperor that the Crown Prince is about to die." What's the use of saying anything else?
Xu Yuan felt sorrowful in his heart. Recently, the successive blows had made him very angry and frustrated!
Originally, he was about to achieve a meritorious service. He spent more than a year to cultivate to this point and exhausted all his efforts! But because of Li Ke's snitch, all his efforts went down the drain. The Crown Prince was assassinated, and the Princess was in trouble! The Grand Canal that benefited the people might be stranded. And all of this was just a fight between the princes for the throne!
If it was a normal day, with the Emperor's character, he would definitely not tolerate this kind of thing. But GongYimo had something that even the Emperor was jealous of, and someone used it as bait to tempt the Emperor! That was why the situation was like this!
Those people were too selfish, too excessive, and too vicious!
It wasn't that GongYimo wasn't angry, but what was the use?
After bidding farewell to Xu Yuan, she didn't rest. Instead, she ran all the way to the section of the canal that was being repaired. Because they were digging on land, it was much faster than working in the mud. Xu Yuan dug very quickly. At this rate, they could dig to the capital in a month.
GongYimo stood at the end of the construction and looked north. In front of her was a piece of land that had already been cleared. It extended into the distance. As long as they dug along this river and connected it to the Longteng River, it would be enough …
It was just that simple.
Her ghostly figure went all the way north. From time to time, she would stop to bury something and then continue forward. She did this repeatedly and almost didn't sleep for the whole night.
The next day, the people in the towns and villages around Heng Shui were awakened by a series of explosions!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!! "
The sound was earth-shattering, and it seemed that the house was shaking!
The sky was just beginning to brighten. There was no rain or thunder, but the sound was like a series of continuous thunders! What in the world had happened? Was it the Mountain God's anger? Or was it an earth dragon turning over?!
The people in the nearby villages were frightened by the earth-shattering explosion. They gathered at the entrance of the village and knelt in the direction of the explosion. As for the farmers who had been dismissed, when they heard that the explosion came from the river that was being repaired, they hurriedly carried their hoes and ran over. Soon, many people gathered in that direction.
Was the heavens angry? Was that sound just now a thunderclap?
There were also many timid people who hurriedly packed their bags and ran in the opposite direction. They were afraid that if they were a little slower, they would suffer the wrath of God!
However, when the explosion stopped, and many people carefully approached, they saw smoke and dust filling the sky. There was a smell of urine everywhere. That kind of movement just now … could it be that someone was setting off fireworks?
When the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, many people exclaimed!
Because the place where they dug the canal yesterday had a road blown up all the way to the north! It had really blasted a path out!
One after another, the earth pits were connected, revealing that the earth-shattering feeling just now was not a dream. There really was an unimaginable force that smashed into the ground. Not only did it blow up a big hole, it even loosened the surrounding rocks. It was as if God had sent down divine thunder to repair the canal for them!
"God has built the canal! God has shown his power!! "
The people who had gathered all knelt down and shouted non-stop!
"God has built the canal! God has shown his power! "
Their voices were very loud, and it attracted many of the surrounding residents who were originally terrified. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all shocked!
Towards the unknown mysterious force, they were convinced from the bottom of their hearts. They were devout and fearful, but at the same time, grateful and kowtowing!
God had built the canal! This proved that this canal was approved by God. Maybe God had purposely sent it to the crown prince in a dream. That was why the crown prince had come to repair the canal, because all of this was God's will!
Soon, there were seventy to eighty thousand people kneeling by the riverbank, and it was obvious that the number was increasing.
Since God had sent down a revelation, how could they, as mortals, go against it? Even the local officials and merchants received the news and hurried over. Seeing such a shocking scene, the parents and officials of Heng Shui knelt down, not daring to be disrespectful!
