Chapter 85: The Chilling Cicada Cries (8)

The backer king had a violent temper, and before the night was dark, I was forcibly dragged to the Taihu Lake in the east of the city.

However, this old king is already polite to me, the celebrity in front of the queen.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of Taihu Lake, his subordinates had already taken out the calculated map, and the water ghost team instantly sank to the bottom of the lake.

Presumably, once all the preparations were completed, the team set off.

Looking at the equipment and actions of the water ghost team, it is very professional, but even if the water ghost team is powerful enough and well prepared, the silver salary has sunk for so many days, and the area calculated according to the wind direction and water flow is also very large, and it is not easy to find the silver salary.

The backer king has always been iron-faced, and he can't see his joy and anger, forcing me to tense my nerves all the time for fear that he will suddenly punch me.

There are not many places in Yixing City that can hide so much food, and Yuwen Chengdu has already dug the entire Yixing City three feet into the ground, so the only place left is that Yuwen Chengdu has not been to it in person, the bottom of Taihu Lake.

The reason why Jiancheng burned the boat and escaped in Taihu Lake was also to create an excuse for Li Pi, so that he could take the people buried by the Taihu Lake Water Gang early in the morning and hide the silver salary to the bottom of the lake openly.

But after all, the above is just my speculation, and I don't even know how they stole the silver from Yu Wenhua and his hands.

It's just that now I can't show weakness in front of the backer king, and I have to work hard to maintain a calm and calm appearance.

Although always ready to grease the soles of your feet.

"Lord Qiqi."

A lieutenant general came to report, "The money has been found." ”

I couldn't help but feel relieved in my heart, but the backer king still didn't have any expression, and only nodded and motioned for the general to continue.

The general's expression was a little tangled: "But the box of silver salary is too heavy, and it is deep in the mud, so it can't be pulled up at all." ”

"It's easy."

I had already thought of this, and I explained while drawing with pen and paper, "Go find some small boats, tie the iron cables to the boats, and pile them with stones, and the water ghosts will lead the boat down, fix the boat to the box, and then discard the stones, and then rely on the buoyancy of the boat to make the silver float." ”

The general took his own order, and because of the lack of manpower, he asked some local people who were familiar with water to help.

Although the sky is still dark, the lake is bright and noisy, and it is very lively for a while.

Although I don't approve of such a late-night disturbance behavior, at present, the little slave and maid naturally dare not speak out against the backer prince.

"I didn't expect you to have some ability at a young age."

Caught off guard, the backer king gave me such a sentence.

I hollowed out my thoughts, and I didn't come up with the deep meaning of this sentence, so I had to salute with a faint smile: "I can be praised by the king of the backer, and the slave is lucky." ”

The king of the backer did not move like a mountain, he didn't even move his beard, he only stared at the lake thoughtfully, and the atmosphere was particularly awkward for a while.

"Come up, come up, come up."

Fortunately, the silver salary was quickly raised, one box after another, and the king of the backer himself went over and ordered the boxes to be put into the carriage.

When the sky gradually brightened, there was not a single box of silver money that had been missing for so long.

The backer king is a calm veteran, and he has never relaxed for a moment, and he personally escorted dozens of truckloads of snowflake silver back to the barracks immediately.

The women and children in the lakeside houses came out one after another to greet their husbands and fathers who had come up from under the water, and when they were reunited, they were all red-eyed, which made me very uncomfortable.

So touched, as for it?

When they received the honorarium of the officers and soldiers, they trembled, and some of the women even held their children tightly and retreated.

I frowned, it seems that the relationship between the government and the private sector is not ordinary tension.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and after the officers and men had withdrawn, the atmosphere of the reunited people on the sparkling Taihu Lake became even warmer.

"Great, it scared the hell out of me."

"I thought ......"

"Daddy, Daddy, are you alright?"

"What's the use of pulling the silver up, it's not to continue building canals."

"yes, I don't know how many more people will die, it's better not to find it."

"Don't say that, if you can't find this silver, you won't have to scrape it out of us again, and if the taxes continue to be heavy, we will all die."

"These damn officers and soldiers, this damn emperor, hey."

"Yo, I can't say it, I can't say it."

"What's wrong with scolding him, if you don't scold him, he'll be killed by him sooner or later, I can't scold a few words? I longed to eat his flesh and drink his blood. ”

My fists clenched, but I wasn't happy at all when I got my money back.

It's not that I don't know that the people hate him, it's not that I don't know his mistakes, it's not that I don't know that the Great Sui is about to run out, but even so, I ......, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Wake up, wake up. ”

"Husband, get up quickly, don't scare us."

It was the piercing cry of a woman and a young girl.

A kanji was pulled ashore by the lake, but he was already drowning unconscious, surrounded by people who were at a loss, and the woman was crying vigorously and only knew that he was pinching him.

"What's wrong?"

I rushed over and saw that the man's face was white and his skin was a little blistered.

A slap hit him in the abdomen, forcing him to spit out some water.

The woman took a handful of tears and snot: "The officers and soldiers recruit people into the water, and he is obviously unfamiliar with the water." ”

After another slap, the man still spat out a little water, but he still didn't regain his senses.

I didn't know medical science, and I didn't dare to act rashly anymore for fear of breaking his abdomen, and when I heard the woman say this, I couldn't help but be a little angry at their ignorance and greed for money: "Why do you have to reluctantly accept the invitation if you are not familiar with water? This is no joke. ”

"The government arrests strong men, how dare you say no."

Just as he was thinking about what to do, his heart suddenly froze, and his ears were filled with the angry scolding of the surrounding crowd against the court.

The government didn't dare to disobey the strong men, and people who were not familiar with water were also forced into the water.

And I, saying that I want to protect the weak, but from beginning to end, no one can save me.

"You're not trying to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitations. Hey, men and women don't kiss, shouldn't you fancy him and want to be his concubine? ”

The fragrance of Du Ruo behind him was full, and the face could not be seen clearly in the direction of the backlight, only the silver color that was particularly dazzling under the sunrise sun stinged his eyes.

"Gongzi Jiang, it's Gongzi Jiang, Hua Tuo is here in the second life."

Before I could say anything, Jiang Wuxian had already leaned down in the midst of the boiling voice, and quickly clicked a few acupoints on the man's acupoints, and he woke up and spit out a lot of lake water and muddy aquatic plants.

"Daddy, daddy~~woowoo~~"

The little girl threw herself into her father's arms and almost fainted from crying.

The man just woke up, but Mu Ne's face was instantly gentle: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”

However, when the couple remembered to say thank you, Jiang Wuxian had already dragged me out of the distance.

The sun had fully risen, the sun was bright and warm, and in the spring of birds and flowers, I looked out of place in a black suit, and the dark reflection even stained the sparkling green and blue.

I stopped, still letting Jiang Wuxian pull me, maintaining a strange position.

Jiang Wuxian turned his head, the bloodshot in his eyes and the darker color under his eyes unreservedly told me his worry that I hadn't returned all night, and the anger that the mountain rain was about to come.

I just smiled and said, "My father was a tyrannical and ignorant emperor. He is so happy, he is incompetent, and he has never understood the hearts of the people of the world. But even so, he's the most important person to me. Therefore, it is up to me to protect the weak in the world for him, to help him realize his wishes, and to protect my father and my most important people with my own hands. ”

My power can only protect very few people, and I have long understood who is most important to me.

From now on, there is no need to be confused about killing and sin.

I let go of Jiang Wuxie's hand and stepped back step by step: "Wuxie, thank you for taking care of me, I'm back to the palace." ”
