Chapter Ninety-Eight: Water Storm (I)

Seeing this, the soldier immediately retracted: "Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to worry, but the prince is on the side..."

Mo Xuanyin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my father just wants to see me, you should know what to say when you go back." ”

The other party was a little embarrassed, although the king of Yunnan was a good talker, but now that he was sick, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be punished.

"Please go back quickly, after all, that's your father." The soldier reminded.

Mo Xuanyin was a little impatient, and said a few words casually to send the other party away.

Sitting in the camp tent, Mo Xuanyin was a little worried about Gu Xiqian's situation, and there had been no letter for several days, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Now he can only look at the previous letters and think about Gu Xiqian.

After a while, I saw the soldier walk in, and saw Mo Xuanyin looking at the letter, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because Acquiescing to Nain hadn't found him until now, as if he was fascinated by reading the letter.

"Uh... His Royal Highness..."

Mo Xuanyin immediately put the letter away, then opened the book and read it, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"The soldier who just delivered the letter... He's from Yunnan, and I'm worried..."

"He is a soldier of Yunnan Kingdom, he came to deliver a letter to me, and I am also the son of Yunnan Kingdom, what is so strange about this?" Mo Xuanyin shook his head and said.

The soldier nodded, then reported on what had been going on.

"Regarding the question of the river, I was just thinking about whether to change the river, because we have been fighting for so long, and we have not found a water source, and if we continue like this, it will only be time-consuming." Mo Xuanyin put down the book and said.

The soldiers agreed, because the current water source would only last everyone for a few days, and the river was still a long way from the village, and it would be in vain to dig the river there before finding it.

"Hmm... I know, we're going to go tomorrow to find the nearest water source, and then send someone to dig it up, and then send someone to get water for the villagers, and dig it until the river is connected. Mo Xuanyin said.

"Yes, understood, I'll arrange it right away." The soldier replied reassuringly, "Uh... Your Royal Highness, the book you just read is reversed... Could it be that he is thinking about the county lord of the capital? ”

Hearing what the other party said, his face suddenly changed, "What are you doing with so many things?" Are you idle? ”

Before Mo Xuanyin could continue, the soldier left with oil on the soles of his feet.

"Really, all of them came to ask this." Mo Xuanyin held his forehead and said.

After seeing that no one came, Mo Xuanyin picked up the letter again and looked at it, and said silently: "You girl, don't have an accident..."

The next day, Mo Xuanyin led people to set off to find a water source, of course, this matter could not be known to others, so he just found a few people he trusted to set off together.

"Go east and look for it, you go north, and we go south, and we go back to the camp before dark." Mo Xuanyin commanded.

"Yes!"

After arranging things, a few people set off separately...

South Vietnam

In the early days, the ministers were still playing big and small affairs as usual, and when it was almost over, the emperor suddenly asked, "How is the river dug by the prince of Yunnan before?" ”

I saw that the household department immediately stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, please don't worry about the river, His Royal Highness has his own way." ”

In fact, he himself knows that Mo Xuanyin is in a lot of trouble this time, and the emperor did not explain where the water source of the river is, which shows that this time the river is destined to take a lot of time.

In addition, if there is no water source, the river will not start to rise for a while, if the water source is not dug up, it is doomed to be in vain, and when the time comes, the route of the river will also be very different from the original promise.

And what is even worse for the household department is that if it continues to be consumed endlessly, the imperial court will have no money to allocate it, and it will naturally cause their dissatisfaction at that time.

Now he had to pray that Mo Xuanyin could successfully find the water source and repair the river.

Of course, those who know about this matter basically know that the construction of the river this time will not be so simple, but they didn't say it, after all, opposing Mo Xuanyin when things were not clear was undoubtedly blocking the road for themselves.

After the end of the early dynasty, many people asked the family about the river repair, although some people had a good relationship with the prince, but the family understood that if the matter was really said, it would be a matter of time before it reached the emperor's ears.

"Lord Tobe, if there is any obstacle to the repair of the river by His Royal Highness the Prince, you might as well talk about it."

"Yes, if His Royal Highness has any difficulties, it is our duty to do so."

In the face of their questions, Tobe Shangshu looked helpless, "Do you believe in His Royal Highness the Prince so much?" If he can't do anything, is there anything you can do? ”

Everyone was speechless, and the head of the household had no choice but to explain, and the officials immediately left with peace of mind.

"Alas, Your Royal Highness, I hope you can finish it quickly, and I can't help you hide it for too long." Tobe Shangshu said.

On the other side, when the emperor just wanted to go back to rest, he saw a soldier running towards him quickly, his expression was very anxious, and he didn't even have time to wipe his sweat.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter to report below." The soldier came to the emperor and knelt down and said.

"Say what's the matter?"

The soldier looked up and saw that there were several fathers-in-law beside the emperor, and their faces were a little embarrassed.

The emperor glanced at the soldiers, immediately understood what he meant, turned to the father-in-law behind him and said, "You guys retreat first." ”

"But the emperor..."

"Stand down!" The emperor shouted loudly.

The father-in-law had no choice but to leave, but instead of going far, they stepped aside and tried to eavesdrop on them.

"Say anything."

The soldier stood up, then leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, the spy returns..."

After a while, the emperor's eyes widened, and he didn't believe what the soldiers said.

"Are you telling the truth?" The emperor's tone began to become a little excited.

"It's true, and I guess it won't be long before it comes." The soldier said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, hahaha..."

After the soldier finished the report, he left, and the father-in-law asked with some curiosity.

However, the emperor didn't tell them, but looking at the emperor's expression, they also knew that it was good news.

"South Vietnam, something big is about to happen." The emperor looked at the sky and smiled.

borderland

Mo Xuanyin led people to look for a water source, but he didn't have a clue after walking for a while, so he had to go to the nearby village to find out the news first.

Not long after, Mo Xuanyin came to a village with a few soldiers, it was already noon, and the group was also tired and hungry, so they didn't have the heart to continue looking for water.

Seeing the harmony in the village, many people even took their own crops home to cook, and for a while the smell of the food made their stomachs rumble and protest to their masters.

Mo Xuanyin looked at them like this, and he couldn't stand it a little, so he took people to the inn in the village to rest.

As soon as he entered, Mo Xuanyin was surprised to find that the business of the people inside was still good, and the passengers were talking and laughing, and the environment was not bad

After sitting down at the inn, Xiao Er looked at their clothes and immediately greeted them, "Official, what do you want to eat?" Our wild vegetables are freshly grown and are guaranteed to keep you coming back for more. ”

"Bring us something delicious!" I saw that the soldier immediately took out a piece of broken silver.

After Xiao Er put away the silver, he immediately smiled and said, "Come on, uncle, we still have good aging here, do you want to try it?" ”

"No need, you can just bring something delicious." Because Mo Xuanyin continued to look for water sources, he naturally didn't want to make a mistake because of drinking.

After a while, I saw the handyman in the inn enter the kitchen with a big basket of farming in his hand, and Mo Xuanyin suddenly became puzzled.

"Guest officer, the dishes are ready, please use them slowly." Xiao Er said with a smile on his face.

Mo Xuanyin looked at the dishes, he was really a little puzzled, when he came, he didn't see a water source in the vicinity of this village for ten miles, why did this village not look as barren as the previous village, and even very lively?

However, the others didn't pay attention to Mo Xuanyin, and they were all attracted by the aroma of the food, and devoured it.

"Delicious, delicious."

Mo Xuanyin also tasted the food, but he didn't expect that the craftsmanship of this inn was not bad, and it seemed that the harvest was also very good.

Watching Xiao Er, who greeted the guests, take out the wine from the big altar really made him a little curious.

"Little Er, I want to ask you something, we have seen that there is no water source near you, why don't you look like you are short of water?" Mo Xuanyin asked straight to the point.

"Uh... I don't know about this, because I've just been here for a long time, but I see that someone brings water every day, so you can wait here for a while, and then that person will come to the village to bring water. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he greeted the guests.

"The one who delivered the water? Does this person know where there is a water source? The soldier asked, surprised.

Mo Xuanyin felt that he had come to the right place, so he began to wait.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and the villagers opened the windows to see it, and immediately walked over.

"Brother Zhou who delivered water is here!"

"I've gone over to fetch water!"

At this time, the villagers came over one after another and took their jars to get water.

Mo Xuanyin followed and walked out, only to see a middle-aged man at the entrance of the village, and several large jars behind him, and some water overflowed inside.

I saw that the villagers took out the money and handed it over, and said respectfully: "Brother Zhou, this is today's money, accept it." ”

"Brother Monday, this is our fresh and heavy fruit, let's try it."

Looking at this scene, Mo Xuanyin was a little suspicious of his eyes, when was a water delivery so respected?
