As soon as he said it, the two looked at each other, and they both knew that the situation was completely irretrievable!

At this time, there is no way to return to the sky!

"The embankment here has been completely rerouted, and the water flow has gradually increased, and it will break down several embankments downstream in more than half an hour, and then the water will soar, and after an hour, it will cross the river and hit Jinling City!"

Yuan Jin's voice is not high, but it makes people shudder down the spine - such a scene is simply chilling to think about!

"Is there really no way to stop them?"

Xiao Gu knew that his questions were redundant, but he still asked them.

"There's no way, they only listen to my father-in-law and Jingyu, the military order is like a mountain, and they will definitely not obey favoritism because I am a young son."

Yuan Jin's expression was even more ugly - although he didn't say it, Xiao Gu knew that he had always blamed himself for this incident.

"Can you control their leaders and force them to close the loopholes?"

Yuan Jian smiled bitterly, revealing a hole in his sleeve, and there were faint blood stains on it, "I have already tried it just now, and the appointed Qian Zong actually took the initiative to cut himself with a knife, saying that this life should be returned to our Yuan Mansion, but the military order cannot be changed." “

The wind whistled in the woods, the summer eyes gradually became hot, the sweat blurred the eyes, the salty bitterness stung the corners of the mouth, and the two of them who had not slept all night only felt exhausted, their bodies were sore, and they couldn't wait to sit on the ground.

"Historically, there have been several cities that have been flooded for a long time, and I can't imagine that it will be the turn of the capital Jinling today!"

Yuan Jin muttered, "That's enough." That's enough, why are they doing this, why?! ”

He punched the ground. Suddenly, the mountain rock cracked, and his knuckles were also fleshed and blood burst out.

Xiao Gu hurriedly grabbed him and wrapped his wounds, "It's useless for you to do this, besides, what those two people did can't be counted on your head!" ”

She stared at it with a pair of clear apricot eyes, and said sincerely: "I was also angry with you before. But now that I think about it, I am ashamed to be ashamed of yourself - you are running around worrying about the catastrophe that you are trying to defuse. It's enough, Yuan Rong is your father-in-law, Jingyu and I grew up together, but we can't persuade them - their ambitions and obsessions are like a prairie fire. No one can resist it. It's no one's fault! ”

Xiao Gu said this, her voice was a little choked, for so long, she saw the terrible changes in Jingyu, although the two had disputes, disappointments, and discouragement. But until this moment, she remembered his metamorphosis. Still feel heartache and anger!

"To tell you the truth, I have grown up so big, it can be said that I haven't lived a good life for a few days, my father is unkind to me, the court is unkind to me, and fate is so unfair to me, I have also resented, but all this is not an excuse for one person to destroy and trample on others!"

She looked at Yuan Jin, but what she said seemed to be aimed at the person who was far away in the sky, "I empathize with his resentment and grief, but if he wants to sacrifice the entire people of Jinling City, I will definitely stop it to the end!" “

When she said this, she suddenly stood up and pulled Yuan Jian up, "Since there are still three hours, which means that things are not desperate, we must work hard to the end, and we can't let their conspiracy succeed!" ”

Yuan Jin was also stirred up by her words, "Then what should I do?" ”

"When I roughly guessed the layout of Jingyu, I had already asked Guangsheng to extract all the topographic maps and relevant hydrological records near Jinling, and let him copy his documents."

When talking about Guangsheng's name, the intimacy and trust in her tone made Yuan Jin's heart sour, and she sighed in her heart, but she was silent.

Xiao Gu silently opened the sheepskin map in the baggage, which involved all the places in the waterway and the veins and mountains, all marked with various colors, she used charcoal to make a cross in the direction of the original river embankment, and circled the Xitang Pass, opened another stack of materials, re-compared, and watched.

She was so attentive that Yuan Jin didn't dare to disturb her.

Time passed little by little, Yuan Jin's heart was anxious, but Xiao Gu was still concentrating, and this calm kung fu simply made him admire.

Finally, Xiao Gu put down the scroll, "There is another way now, but it is difficult to do." ”

She met Yuan Jin's surprised gaze, and also faced the direction of the sunshine, her voice was crisp and firm, "When Emperor Hongwu rebuilt Jinling City, he paid attention to the hydrological layout, let the Yangtze River meander through, but try not to let it cause waterlogging. ”

"If the river is diverted and rushed to Jinling City, it must also take other rivers along the way, and the most likely is that here and here are ......"

Xiao Gu sketched them one by one with charcoal, and then raised his head and looked in the direction of Jinling City, "If this is the case, you can use the underground waterway that Jinling City itself has, so that the river overflows the whole city and then goes down the waterway to the other end of the city." ”

"But we have all seen those waterways, and the pottery pipe only has a round diameter like a basin, and it can't hold all the river tides at all."

Xiao Gu pointed a little near the imperial city with charcoal, "The pottery pipe is not thick enough, but the tunnel dug at the beginning is made of bricks and stones, which can accommodate a person to walk in." ”

At the beginning, Chang Mengchu saved her, she was curious to explore this kind of pottery pipe, and found that when the city was built, the tunnel space left was very large, but unfortunately in order to save money, it was installed in ancient times that style of pottery pipe, this kind of pipe was made by special craftsmen, and there were prescribed sizes from the Yin Shang period.

"But the clay pipe has been installed, and if it is to be done now, unless it is ......"

"Destroy all the existing clay pipes and let the river pass through the brick and stone tunnels."

Xiao Gu said resolutely, but Yuan Jin was taken aback, "What a huge project is that?!" ”

"You just need to blast it all the way with explosives."

Xiao Gu's words were relaxed, but Yuan Jian was frightened, no matter what, in the capital of a country, using explosives to explode along the way, such a big movement is not much smaller than changing the dynasty! How to do it!

"It's up to him to do it, and I'm sure he'll be able to do it!"

When Xiao Gu talked about "him", the smile on his lips was gentle and playful, and Yuan Jian saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more gloomy.

Such a tacit understanding and trust, I am afraid that between the two of them, it has already ......

At this moment, the rumbling sound of the river was heavier, sweeping Wan Jun's power forward, the two of them were in a heart, Yuan Jin said: "I'm afraid that the city gate has been closed, how do you inform him?" ”

Xiao Gu smiled slightly, "I also have a few right-hand men. (To be continued.) )
