Wei Zhongming felt that his flattery to Su Ying was a little too natural.

He kept telling himself that this was an impostor, and he didn't have to be afraid of her at all!

"Wei Zhongming."

"Yes, mother, what do you command?" Wei Zhongming bowed down to Su Ying, he was so flattering, he just wanted to paralyze Su Ying and prevent her from discovering the flaws!

"It's been a good few days."

The corners of Wei Zhongming's mouth were almost to the root of his ears, "Niangniang praised it falsely, it is the duty of the lower officials to think about the people." ”

Su Ying raised her eyelids and glanced at him, Wei Zhongming really looked like a Qing official, his body was thin and small, if it weren't for the fact that his cheeks looked like two or two pieces of flesh, he really looked like a humanoid skeleton.

Just looking at this appearance, it really doesn't look like he dares to hack the granary of the imperial court.

What she said just now is not a lie, Wei Zhongming's work ability is really good, otherwise with his humble background, it would be impossible to climb to this position without some ability.

"I heard from this palace that during the period when the disaster first started, some people went to the government to suggest to you that you should introduce the south water to solve the disaster, but is there such a thing?"

Wei Zhongming's face stiffened, and he said helplessly: "Hui Niangniang, but there is such a thing, but this thing will not work at all." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Wei Zhongming took out a map from the bookshelf, spread it out on the table, and reached out to point at a mountain range on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

"There are mountains connecting Los Angeles and the Nanjiang River, if you want to bring the water of the Nanjiang River over, you have to bypass these mountains, how much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent, and Los Angeles will have to guard the impact of the disaster, if you spend a lot of money to dig channels in the mountains, Los Angeles can't support it."

Su Ying saw that Wei Zhongming was right, and imagined that if this was an easy move, he would have no reason to refuse, after all, it was also his political achievements.

She looked at the mountains on the map and suddenly thought of a good idea for disaster relief, but it needed her further confirmation to know if it would work.

"Where is this place?"

"It's at the junction of Lincheng and Los Angeles, it's actually not far away."

When Su Ying finished inquiring about the detailed geological situation, it was already dark.

"Niangniang, after a tired day, you should have dinner first, right?" Zhou Qing stepped forward and asked softly.

Today, Su Ying ate some dry food at noon after leaving the city to cope, Zhou Qing couldn't imagine that a delicate person like the queen rode a horse and climbed the mountain, and even she was so tired that she couldn't breathe, she could still blush and her heart not beat, she sincerely admired the queen, she was really thinking about the people.

"Yes, bring it up."

"Niangniang, you eat slowly, and the next official will retire."

"Stand down."

"Yes."

After Wei Zhongming retreated, Zhou Qingcai walked into the house with a food box.

"This Lord Wei is really a lively person."

Zhou Qing put the meal on the table, a total of two dishes and one soup.

A bowl of egg drop soup with bean sprouts, and a scrambled egg and a radish stewed pork.

This dish looks unpretentious, but this bean sprout soup is made of chicken soup, the eggs are still holding meat, and the last fried meat is still boneless fish, and you can still eat fish at this juncture, even if it is a rich and noble family, it is difficult to eat a bite of fresh fish in this situation now, but Wei Zhongming got it for Su Ying.

Su Ying won't have trouble with food, and Wei Zhongming will teach him a lesson afterwards.

Zhou Qing stood on the side and watched Su Ying's eating, and the more he watched, the more familiar he felt.

She thought that maybe she was thinking too much, how did some of the words and deeds of the palace in front of her look a little similar to Gongzi?

What's more, since the queen appeared, she hasn't seen her son again.

Zhou Qing thought of a possibility, but she didn't dare to think deeply, that was not what she should know.

After eating, Su Ying lay down on the bed after a simple wash, and tomorrow she would get up early to go to the mountains to check the situation.

Zhou Qing lowered the bed curtain and blew out the lights in the room and withdrew.

Early the next morning, Su Ying left the city after breakfast.

Looking at Su Ying's rushing back, Wei Zhongming became more and more sure that Su Ying was an impostor, what queen did it as much as her?

The location of the mountains in the map is about thirty miles away from Los Angeles, and as soon as they left the city, they found that there were many victims outside the city, and if they continued like this, they would not be able to settle outside Los Angeles.

"First find a vacant lot to settle the victims who rushed over today, and don't let them make trouble."

"Yes, sissy."

Su Ying rode his horse and led the people to the foot of the mountains thirty miles away.

Su Ying took out her binoculars and looked at the situation in the mountains, her brows furrowed.

"Nanjiang is behind these mountains?"

The little official who guided Su Ying responded: "Yes, it is behind these mountains, which is why it is so difficult to bring the water from the other side of the Nanjiang River." ”

"Then if you want to go to Nanjiang, which way do you usually take?"

"That piece, that piece has an official road, that is, to go around the foot of the mountains."

Su Ying turned his horse's head and walked in the direction of the official road, "How long does it take to reach Nanjiang by taking the official road?" ”

"If it's fast, it's five days, seven days, and if it's slow, it's estimated that it will take half a month."

"But even if it's half a month, it's better than not having a drop of water, and there are a lot of people who have fled the disaster to go there, so that they can have a glimmer of life."

Su Ying stopped with a slight bow, and said to the little official who led the way: "Are you familiar with this mountain?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the little one has lived in the village at the foot of this mountain since he was a child, and he is very familiar with this place.

"Take me around the mountains to the Nanjiang River."

"Niangniang, I'm afraid there will be fierce beasts in this mountain, it's too dangerous." Zhou Qing said worriedly, now that there is a drought around Los Angeles, not only people lack water, but also animals lack water, and they will also find ways to go to places with water, and at this time, it is very likely that they will encounter fierce beasts on mountain roads.

"There are a lot of us, don't be afraid, hurry up the mountain."

"Yes."

Fortunately, this mountain was not steep, and they could still walk horses, but the speed of the road was much slower, and they did not reach the halfway point of the mountain until dark, and it was not easy to walk at night, so they could only find a place to settle down for the time being, and continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

Su Ying sat on a tree to breathe, and Zhou Qing waited with a water bag and dry food.

She made the fire bigger in case a wild beast attacked.

Su Ying took a deep breath and let the breath travel all over the body, opening up the blocked meridians, thus playing a role in relieving fatigue and enhancing yang qi.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Ying slowly opened her eyes and asked the guards to get some wet soil and surround the fire to avoid being blown by the mountain wind at night and causing a mountain fire.

"Mother, let's eat something." Zhou Qing handed the hot steamed buns and jerky to Su Ying.

Su Ying took it and ate it directly into her mouth.

The night on the mountain was colder, and as soon as she was full, Su Ying leaned against the trunk of the tree and became sleepy, she yawned and slowly closed her eyes.

After a while, all the guards accompanying him fell asleep, and Zhou Qing also slept at Su Ying's feet.

All that was left was the sound of branches "crackling" in the flames.

At this moment, a sleeping figure stood up in the darkness.
