Chapter 222: The Trench
"Isn't that what we're here for?" He stood up as he spoke, took two steps forward, suddenly stopped again, turned his head sideways and said coldly, "Mo Yan, listen, I won't lose to you, whether it's in ability or in Sang Qing's heart!" ”
"Well said! I'm just afraid that you will coward, so I took the initiative to retreat, that's not what I want! I replied immediately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He snorted, said no more, and walked away.
I looked at his back and shook my head helplessly. In any case, the purpose of provoking him to speak his mind was achieved. It is estimated that the focus of the two sentences he said was in the second half of the sentence, that is, "I will not lose in Sang Qing's heart".
I can't remember the past of Mo Yan and Sang Qing at all, but the relationship between me and this girl, even I can't completely sort it out, and Yue Bi, how can I not see what he thinks about Sang Qing during this time? The awkward relationship between the three of them, coupled with Sang Qing's unclear identity, is really cut, and the reason is messy!
Although I don't plan to fight with Yue Bi at all, if he thinks it's good and can make him live more peacefully, then so be it.
The next morning, as soon as Yue Bi came out of his house, he saw me standing in front of his door with a smile.
"What?" He asked curiously.
"Didn't you say that the dam was closed today? I want to see the excitement too! I said.
"Aren't you going to investigate Qin Shi's case?"
"No hurry, no hurry, there are still two days to go, it's rare to have the opportunity to see this big project, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?" I said with a grin on my face and leaned over, as if I was determined to follow him.
“…… That's up to you! He shifted to the side, kept a distance from me, and walked on his own.
The Wuling Dam he mentioned was in the southwest of the Lishan Mausoleum, blocking a north-south river that originally came from the Lishan Mountains, diverting it to the northwest, bypassing the Imperial Tomb and returning to the north. Coupled with a hot spring vein that already exists on the east side, this royal mausoleum just responds to the trend of being surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides.
I don't know why, when Yue Bi said this, I suddenly remembered a past incident.
It was still when I was discussing the reason why the cursed blood in my body only occurred at the age of its establishment, Meng Yiling said that because the place where I was born happened to be surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, forming the so-called "Locking Dragon Bureau", I was able to temporarily seal the power of the curse, Yunyun.
Three mountains and one water are the lock dragon bureau, what about three rivers and one mountain? Is it the opposite of the "dragon game"? This Qin Shi Huang moved such a big Zhou Zhang to build his own tomb, compared to ordinary people asking for a quiet and long sleep, with his character, but eighty percent of them plan to maintain the domineering spirit of the Son of Heaven after death, and he is worried about achieving a grand cause in the underworld!
The more you go in the direction of the dam, the clearer the sound of the water can be heard, and the more people on the road are, and a large number of workers are carrying logs, sand and gravel in carts, horses, and shoulders to the construction site. Naturally, they were surrounded by strict overseers, and everywhere there was the sound of shouting, trumpets, the creaking of wheels, and the neighing of horses.
Yuebi has been very familiar with the people in the construction site these days, and he has been passing all the way without hindrance, and from time to time he has exchanged a few words with them, comparing and pointing, just like an engineer.
We walked for about half an hour before we came to a very sturdy platform next to the dam that was about to close the dragon, which was more than ten meters high, and there was a wooden ladder to go up and down.
As soon as he walked to the foot of the high platform, he met an official, who was probably also in charge of the fortification, and greeted him warmly when he saw Yue Bi, and then asked strangely: "What's wrong with your face?" ”
It's no wonder that Yue Bi's face and around his eyes still have bruises caused by the fight between the two of us yesterday, if he is black and not obvious at all, but his face is as white as paper, it is impossible to ignore the red, red and green.
"It's okay, I just fell." He prevaricated with a smile.
The man turned to look at me and asked, "Who is this?" How is this happening? ”
"We both fell together." I said seriously.
The man's face froze, then he smiled awkwardly and left.
"What kind of mess are you doing!" Yue Bi said angrily.
"I'm telling the truth!" I replied innocently.
He was speechless, and went straight up the high wooden ladder. I smiled inwardly and obediently climbed up after me.
This time to the top, climb high and look into the distance, and suddenly the whole picture of the dam closure project is in full view.
The first thing that catches your eye is a large river that is several hundred meters wide in the distance, with thousands of blue waves, white waves, dazzling phosphorescence under the rising sun, looking at the momentum, it is just from south to north, rushing in the direction of the imperial mausoleum construction site.
And not too far from our feet, is a huge earthen dam that has not yet been completed, overlooking the distance, spanning a kilometer long, thirty or forty meters wide in the narrow place, and sixty or seventy meters wide in the wide place, beside the dam are standing tall wooden frames, everywhere are pulling rope nets horizontally and vertically, and the neat long queue of workers just seen along the road is constantly transporting the raw materials for dam construction to this side. From my height, it looks like countless little ants carrying their food.
At present, the earthen dams on both sides are slowly spreading towards the center, and it is expected that they will eventually be merged into one. The originally rushing river gradually felt the resistance, roared unwillingly, and made a moving rumbling sound, but it could only helplessly let the traveling space be eaten away little by little, and finally was forced to completely change course!
In such an era, there are no cranes, and there are no convenient large machinery such as excavators and pile drivers. Willpower! That strong desire to "must do it"! I have to say that I was deeply shocked by the whole body of a modern person!
When I turned my gaze to the west, I saw several huge earthen ditches, each tens of meters wide, and one every few meters, lined up and stretching far away.
"What's that?" I asked.
"The pit left by the earth." Yue Bi said.
"Then when the river is diverted, will it be just right to fill up those ditches?"
"Well, it's equivalent to a pre-dug river, killing two birds with one stone."
"And what about the few meters of wall in between?"
"When the water first flows, if there is no obstacle, the force is too strong, and it is easy to deviate, and the middle section of the partition wall can slow the water a little, and then the river will gradually break through those partition walls and slowly fill the channel."
"Ah, that's amazing!" I sighed.
Yue Bi glanced at me, and that look seemed to say, "What's so powerful about this."
"I'm not saying that digging holes is great, but that the people who plan this plan are very powerful, and they have already calculated some in advance, and arranged all links closely together as much as possible, without wasting manpower, and getting twice the result with half the effort!" I explained.
The little official who was watching next to him heard me say this, and asked Yue Bi with a smile: "Yue Bi Gongzi, who is this?" ”
"He's new here, come here today to study, and tomorrow I'll go to the construction site to work!" Yue Bi said deliberately.
"Okay!" But I rolled up my sleeves and exclaimed earnestly, "Say, build stones or plaster walls?" ”
The little official laughed when he saw this, but Yue Bi just wiped his forehead and didn't bother to pay attention to me.
After watching it for a while, I took advantage of the fact that the people around me were not paying attention, and asked Yue Bi in a low voice: "Didn't you say that today is the best opportunity if someone causes sabotage?" Where are the opportunities? ”
He pointed to the middle of the dam and said, "That's it!" Now the construction period is very tight, the dam can not be repaired on time is very important, and the key to completing it is at the last dragon mouth, if someone takes the opportunity to do something when the final closure of the dragon interception, not only the dam can not be completed on time, the power of the water flow is too large in an instant, the original part of the construction is also susceptible to sudden impact and collapse, basically equivalent to the previous efforts are wasted, these months will be in vain. ”
I was surprised to hear it: "If it's so important, then there will be a lot of guards, right?" ”
"Well, but no matter how many people there are, if someone is familiar with the joints and knows where to start, it will be easy to break through the guards." Yue Bi said.
"So you know where the joints are?" I say.
"Of course!"
"That's easy, we just need to guard the most critical part!"
"What are we?" "You don't understand that," he exclaimed, "and you can't help with it." The place that needs you the most now is the case of the Qin period, so you don't have to worry about it here! ”
"This ...... All right. But where is the most important part of this? I asked suddenly.
"Look there, when you close the dragon, those two points will be installed to intercept the boat......" he replied, halfway through the conversation, but suddenly became alert, "Why are you asking this, you don't have to worry about it!" Okay, enough has been seen, let's go! "I even ordered the eviction of customers.
"Good, good!" I replied repeatedly. It seems that it is not easy to get more news. This stupid boy really wants to be a hero himself, if someone really wants to destroy it sincerely, how can it be one person or two, it is bound to be a group of people acting together, how can he prevent it by himself? Even if he is an engineering expert, it is impossible!
So after leaving the construction site, he inevitably went to Zhang Han again, told him about Yuebi's considerations, and asked him to secretly send more manpower to cooperate with Yuebi's focus on defending the so-called "joints" at the Helong site.
After saying this, Zhang Han suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go to investigate the case today?" ”
"This matter ......," I said after a deep sigh, "I should have reported it to my lord sooner, but today is just in time for the dam to close the dragon, and the stakes are very high, so I can only turn my attention to this side for the time being, just in case." Fortunately, there is still time, and before the three-day time limit arrives, I will definitely give an explanation to the adults. ”
Zhang Han smiled slightly: "Well, I believe you, then I'll wait for your news." (To be continued.) )
