At this time, the smoke and dust had completely dissipated. Just now, everyone had only taken a glance and didn't dare to look up. Only now did they discover that there was a girl sitting on a huge rock across from them.
She was using a sword to support herself on the rock, her head resting on the sword. She seemed to be in a deep sleep. Just now, the deafening shouts hadn't been able to wake her up. She had suddenly appeared in front of the world like a miracle. That kind of mystery made people feel afraid.
More and more people arrived, and the sun gradually rose.
The local governor seemed to feel that he had seen this girl before, but because of the shock of the scene in front of him, his legs were still trembling. He couldn't stand up for a long time.
The moment the first ray of sunlight crossed the horizon and shone on her body, the fairy-like girl's eyelashes moved.
No one dared to breathe loudly. They just quietly and carefully knelt on the ground, as if afraid of waking her up.
Finally, GongYimo opened her eyes.
Seeing so many people in front of her, she didn't seem surprised at all. Her calm eyes swept over them. She had a rough idea of how many people there were.
At this time, she took out a gold medallion from her bosom. It was the Crown Prince's transfer order that Xu Yuan had given her. From today onwards, the officials and people of Hengshui would be at her disposal!
Many people looked at the medallion in her hand in a daze. Wasn't that the Crown Prince's transfer order? Shouldn't it be in the hands of Supervisor Xu? Why was it in the hands of this little girl?
"Have you all heard of this saying?"
GongYimo opened her mouth. Because she used her internal energy to speak, her voice wasn't loud. However, every word seemed to ring in their ears. So that everyone could hear it clearly.
The migrant workers were still in a daze. They weren't sure if this strange and mysterious girl was an immortal from the heavens.
Some people came back to their senses. Just as they were thinking hard about what the other party was referring to, the other party spoke again.
GongYimo curled her lips into a smile. That kind of mocking evil and disdainful expression appeared on the face of a teenage girl. It made the strange feeling even more intense.
"Those who cultivate the Canal … will benefit the world!"
Her words caused everyone present to come back to their senses. There was no other reason. They weren't far from the capital, so some words couldn't be said casually. A few days ago, someone had been beaten forty times by Supervisor Xu because of this. Supervisor Xu also said that anyone who talked about this matter would be sacrificed to the canal. Therefore, no one in Heng Shui dared to say anything.
But even if they didn't dare to say it out loud, it didn't mean that they didn't talk about it in private. So when GongYimo said it, they had such a big reaction. It could be seen that the more they tried to suppress it, the more intense it would be in private.
Gong Yi Mo stood up and stood on top of the stone, looking down at the crowd.
"Those who build the canal will bring glory to the world!" She laughed heartily. "Several days ago, the heavens allowed the Crown Prince to dig out this cauldron. It was an auspicious omen, it was the will of the heavens!"
"The heavens are using the Crown Prince to praise the Emperor, to build the canal and bring glory to the world! It's a pity … "GongYimo sighed." It's a pity that the Crown Prince was slandered because of this. They said that the cauldron was the Crown Prince's intention to disobey the Emperor. Now that the Crown Prince was assassinated and his life was at stake, His Majesty urgently summoned him back to the capital. The Crown Prince couldn't stand the bumpy journey due to his injuries, so he delayed his departure and was charged with the crime of disobeying the Emperor. The canal that was only a month away from completion was delayed because of this, causing the heavens to be furious! "
GongYimo pointed at the hole in the ground and laughed. "So the heavens sent down a bolt of lightning to build the canal! This is the best indication! "
"The Crown Prince is innocent! The canal must be completed! The Crown Prince can't travel by land due to his injuries and can only travel by water. So at dawn this morning, the heavens sent down a bolt of lightning to open the way! This is the will of the heavens! Not only does it help us mortals, but it also hopes that the Crown Prince can return to the capital as soon as possible to clear his name! Now that the heavens have opened the way, I am here on the Crown Prince's orders for you to continue digging. Use seven days to open the canal! Are you willing to comply with the will of the heavens?! "
Her words rang clearly in everyone's ears. On one hand, the Crown Prince was wronged, and on the other, in the name of the heavens, the people were afraid and indignant!
The Crown Prince wholeheartedly served the people, but he was wronged. Now that he was in danger, there was no way to return?
Even the heavens couldn't stand by and watch, so they sent down a bolt of lightning to open the way. How could they dare to refuse? They all banged their heads on the ground and shouted their willingness. The local governor was a just and honest person. He admired the Crown Prince for being able to do such a grand undertaking of digging the canal, and he was ignited by the people's passion and shouted loudly.
"Governor Pu Youchang of Hengshui will use the entire city's strength to open the canal in seven days! Welcome the Crown Prince back to the capital!! "
"Welcome the Crown Prince back to the capital!!"
GongYimo smiled. The wind blew her hair, and her clean, almost transparent skin glowed with holy light under the morning sun!
She lifted her skirt and knelt on one knee, facing the heavens and saying piously.
"All participants will be blessed by the heavens and be safe for all eternity!"
After she finished speaking, she waved her small hand toward the sky and faced the people, her expression firm and persistent!
"So it is! Let's go! "
Following her command, everyone started to move. Many of them brought hoes and hurried to work, while those who didn't bring anything went home to prepare. Some pushed carts, some pulled plows, some herded cows, and some herded horses. The construction site was bustling again, but unlike the usual task-like work, they worked especially hard this time. This was an instruction from the heavens!
GongYimo personally received the local governor, Pu Youchang, and bowed deeply to express her gratitude. "Governor Pu is benevolent and righteous! This little girl is very grateful! "
Pu Youchang didn't dare to accept her bow and hurriedly helped her up. He finally remembered who the person in front of him was. She was the once famous Chaoyang Princess! He sighed in his heart, but said, "Opening the canal is a good thing for the country and the people. Although I'm a small governor, I'm willing to do my part for the country!"
GongYimo nodded. Although she was very tired, she was very grateful!
"Thank you! It's just that I'm pressed for time and can't sit down to drink and talk with you! I'm going to bring the Crown Prince back to the capital now. I hope that the governor can look after him for me. "
"Definitely!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, becoming good friends despite the difference in age.
And this matter spread to the capital in an instant! Emperor Gong smashed several memorials!
"Rebellion, rebellion! Are they trying to rebel? "
"What mandate from the heavens, what will of the heavens? Zhen is the will of the heavens! "
Chang Xi lowered his head and stood at the side, persuading in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps she instructed her subordinates to spread false rumors …"
"Spread false rumors?" Emperor Gong was so angry that he laughed, "What miracle, the heavens building the canal … it's all GongYimo's doing right? That thing in her hand is indeed extraordinary! With her intelligence, how could she not guess why Zhen wants the Crown Prince to return to the capital! But it's fine if she doesn't hand it over, but now she's going to great lengths to continue building the canal! Could it be that she wants to rebel? She keeps saying that the Crown Prince is wronged, or is she building momentum for the Crown Prince? "
