[Book Lovers Building .org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Without waiting for Beiliuye to speak, the people sitting on the ground stopped doing it, and one of them took the lead in speaking: "Why does His Highness the Ninth say that our dam is vulnerable? ”

"Yes, we are working on this dam day and night, and we haven't cut corners at all, how can it be vulnerable, is Your Highness Nine joking?" Another swarthy man also spoke.

"Yes, look at you strangely beautiful, but you can't talk nonsense, isn't this going to break our hearts?" A stout woman spoke.

Beiliuyun was about to open his mouth to explain, but Beiliuye interrupted with a sneer: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the ninth brother, the ninth brother doesn't know anything about the way to control floods. ”

Beiliuye turned around and scolded Beiliuyun angrily: "As a prince, how can you shake the hearts of the people at this time? These days and nights, the palace eats and lives with the people, and everyone sees with their own eyes that this dam has become a little bit stronger, how can it be vulnerable? Ninth brother, this is not nonsense! ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Nine, are you talking nonsense?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it well, and besides, this method was thought of by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, how could there be a problem."

The voices of anger gradually subsided, and most of these people found it difficult to accept that someone had denied the results of their hard work for more than a month.

Then someone whispered: "I don't think His Royal Highness the Ninth will speak without evidence, there must be a reason for him?" Why don't we listen to what His Highness Nine has to say? ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Beiliuyun again, and Beiliuyun stepped forward and said: "This palace really hasn't talked nonsense, although I wasn't proficient in flood control before, but I think about it day and night these days, and there is a reason why this dam is vulnerable." ”

Beiliuye looked at Beiliuyun's demonic side face, and a string of anger rose in his eyes, Beiliuyun, what are you here for?

"It is a good idea to strengthen and build the original dam on the basis of saving time and effort, but the original dam has been going through hundreds of years, and the foundation has long been shaken. The hard exterior can withstand the flood for a while, but the shell is the shell after all, no matter how gorgeous it looks, it will be difficult to withstand the raging flood after all, and once the shell is broken, the dam will collapse in an uproar! ”

Beiliuyun's words were convincing and his expression was serious, which made many people who listened to it frown.

Beiliuye's face was a little ugly, and the hands in his sleeves were full of muscles, but he was telling himself to calm down, it was impossible, it must be that he wanted to take the credit, so he made an excuse to deny the results he had made.

The people were in a commotion for a while, talking to each other.

Not long after, a man carrying a shovel spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if what His Royal Highness Nine said is credible?"

A pair of eyes fell on Beiliuye, facing everyone's hesitant gaze, Beiliuye stretched out his hands and comforted: "Don't worry, these three ways were designed by Bengong himself, and as far as Bengong knows, the Linghe Dam also withstood a raging flood three years ago, and it is still standing, so what His Royal Highness Nine said is pure nonsense." ”

Beiliuye's words reassured many people, after all, water and fire are ruthless, if this dam really can't stop the flood, I don't know how many people will die.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, not to mention, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now made a military order, presumably this dam must be very stable, and besides, even if the dam is really washed away, we can also hide in the reinforced houses, take shelter for the time being, and we will be safe." The other stood up and said reassuringly.

Mentioning the military writ, the prince's face was a little ugly, I have to say, he really underestimated this ninth brother, he was just excited to mention it in the court that day, but he was caught by him, and the general's writ was hyped up, so much so that he had to face it hard.

Therefore, until now, flood control can only succeed and not fail!

A Xiucai who seemed to have read a lot of books spoke: "I think we should still listen to His Royal Highness the Ninth on this matter, and we can't think that we can sit back and relax because we blindly believe in His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Xiucai's words were agreed by some people: "Yes, I think what His Royal Highness Nine said also has some truth, after all, this dam has indeed been so many years." ”

Beiliuyun spoke again: "As for the fortifications formed by these houses, they are also vulnerable. ”

The answer thrown out by Beiliuyun again immediately aroused the anger of many people: "Where did His Highness the Ninth start with this?" ”

"Yes, it was because we believed that he could prevent floods and save his life, so we let the house out and demolished it to its current state!"

Facing everyone's angry questioning, Beiliuyun's expression was as usual, without the slightest change.

Wait until the scene is silent before he speaks: "Because these houses are all along the Ling River, and the mud and sand near the river bank accumulate, these houses are rooted in the mud and sand, and once the flood washes up, these houses will only be uprooted." ”

Beiliuye's face turned a little paler, and he looked down at the soil under his feet, most of them were indeed quicksand, and there were many winds and sands in the Linghe generation, accumulating over time, I was afraid that these houses would really be in danger of collapsing.

Beiliuye's heart had a bad premonition, could it be that Beiliuyun and Concubine Luo were calculating him before? No.. There's no way they'll know he's there.

Or is it that Beiliuyun saw that he had robbed him of his merits, so he wanted to overturn his merits?

Beiliuyun's words made the people on the bank of the river commotion, and some people's eyes looked at Beiliuye.

Beiliuye insisted: "Everyone, don't be impatient, these houses are all built by you brick by brick, whether this foundation is stable, will anyone know better than you?" ”

Many people thought about it carefully, those stones used to build houses were piled together, weighing hundreds of pounds, where could they be so easily shaken?

Beiliuyun turned his head to look at Beiliuye and said bitterly: "How can the eldest brother ignore the lives and deaths of many people for the sake of his own face? ”

"What did you say!"

"The younger brother knows that these methods are the eldest brother racked his brains day and night to come up with, and for this reason, it is like the father and the emperor like the people have made a guarantee, once the eldest brother denies the eldest brother's decision, the eldest brother will feel that his face is gloomy, but people are not sages, who can do nothing, human life is a matter of heaven, and I hope that the eldest brother can make corrections!"

Bei Liuyun's words made everyone's hearts hesitate, thinking about it, before, the prince did swear that he would be safe, but now if you want the prince of a country to agree with what His Royal Highness Nine said, it is really impossible to admit that he is wrong.

"This palace persuades the ninth brother not to talk nonsense, even if it shakes the hearts of the people, it can't change anything, the ninth brother has never been in contact with flood control, and he has never been to Linghe, this palace is curious how the ninth brother can conclude that it is not by virtue of that glimpse just now?" Beiliuyun asked sharply.

Bei Liuyun's eyes were full of eagerness: "Big brother, why do you need to be like this? Brother Chen is also helping you, otherwise once something happens, it will be difficult to get rid of the charge of arrogance and killing everyone, big brother! ”

Beiliuye's chest rose and fell violently, obviously not light.

Without waiting for Beiliuye to speak, Beiliuyun said again: "Since my father appointed me as the deputy commander, even if I can't get your approval, I can't sit idly by. ”

After the words fell, Beiliuyun rolled up his sleeves, showed his snow-white wrist, picked up a shovel on the ground and said: "When I noticed this problem half a month ago, I had already sent someone to dig the tunnel, and when the flood arrived, it was good to be able to avoid the flood, and now the tunnel has reached Linghe County, under the gate of Linghe County, there is a boulder, which is difficult to shake, once it is diverted, there is the possibility of introducing floods, so those who are willing to go with the palace to eradicate the gravel will go together." ”

Bei Liuyun's words fell, and those well-dressed officials or guards who came with him also rolled up their arms and sleeves, found a convenient tool, and followed Bei Liuyun towards Linghe County.

The people sitting on the ground hesitated for a while, although the conversation between Beiliuye and Beiliuyun just now did shake many people, but the work under the scorching sun for more than a month made these people timid for a while.

Although many people are uneasy, because of physical fatigue, they have a luck mentality, thinking that the dam is strong enough to withstand the flood.

There were not a few people who thought this way among the tired people, but after Beiliuyun turned to leave, only a very small number of people who were timid and afraid of death or thought that what he said made sense dragged their heavy bodies to follow.

Beiliuye looked at the sparse group of people, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that everyone would follow and make Beiliuyun the commander of this flood.

"Everyone have a good rest first, as for the problem that the ninth brother said, this palace will carefully check it, and once it finds a problem, it will definitely be corrected in time, but it will ensure everyone's safety." Beiliuye opened his mouth to soothe.

When the words fell, he immediately summoned the advisors around him to discuss the issues that Bei Liuyun said.

Therefore, a very strange situation has formed near the Ling River.

A group of well-dressed men and shirtless men were pounding on the boulders together, constantly moving.

On the other side, the also well-dressed and well-dressed people lifted their trouser legs, walked down the Ling River, and dived into the water from time to time, apparently checking the foundation of the Ling River.

Beiliuye plunged into the Ling River, closed his breath, and gradually dived to the bottom of the river, until the foundation of the dam clearly appeared in front of him, Beiliuye stretched out his hand and carefully knocked on the foundation of the dam, checking whether there were cracks on it.

After careful inspection, it was found that the foundation of the dam was still firmly rooted in the riverbank, and there seemed to be only a few small cracks, which did not affect the stability of the dam.

As soon as they got out of the water, many people stood up and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how is it?" ”

Beiliuye wiped the water on his face: "No problem." ”

Everyone's hearts fell a lot, and they were even more relaxed for a while, but the occasional sound of clinking and crushing stones in the distance was like a tumor in their hearts, whether they were sitting or sleeping, they always felt uneasy in their hearts.
