Chapter 25: He Protects Her with His Life

Chi Wanwan stuck out her tongue at the back of Xiao Junmo leaving, and quietly found her entourage.

"The prince just asked me to prepare some clothes for him, but I forgot when you left for a while, and I don't know if it's too late."

Chi Wanwan said to his entourage very distressed.

"The emperor is urging tightly, we are going to leave tomorrow, and the princess had better pack the prince's clothes today." Without thinking, the entourage answered Chi Wanwan directly.

After getting the accurate news, Chi Wanwan hurriedly went back to the room to pack his baggage, and early the next morning, after Xiao Junmo and the others left, he quietly followed behind the convoy.

In front of the convoy, halfway through, Xiao Junmo suddenly said to his entourage: "Go to the back of the convoy and bring the princess to the carriage." ”

The entourage was confused, came to the back of the convoy, and carefully inspected one by one, and finally found Chi Wanwan, who was dressed as a tomboy at the back and gnawed on dry steamed buns.

"Princess, the prince let you ride in the carriage." The attendant bowed his hand respectfully.

"Ah, you've found out about this?"

Chi Wanwan touched her cheek, which had been deliberately blackened.

Chi Wanwan followed his entourage to the carriage as if resigned to his fate.

Seeing Xiao Junmo's black face, Chi Wanwan suddenly felt a little weak.

"Lord Wang, you are really smart, I have such superb camouflage skills, and you have seen through them." cistern

Wanwan smiled dryly, complaining in her heart, if Xiao Junmo didn't let him go along, he wouldn't have to spend so much time.

"Insect carving skills."

Xiao Junmo's eyebrows were a little less cold, and a little more proud, just that bowl of black and bitter medicine, except for Chi Wanwan, who would boil it and bring it to him from the palace to drink?

"I'll squint for a while, and then the local prince will call me." Chi Wanwan saw that Xiao Junmo was not really angry, and put down his heart and began to make up for sleep.

It's good to catch up on sleep.

Xiao Junmo was angry and helpless, and after Chi Wanwan fell asleep, he gently covered her with a blanket.

The carriage traveled for a day and a night, and near noon the next day, it finally entered the Qingping County area.

"Ouch hey, I'm dead." Chi Wanwan was woken up by a jolt, and rubbed her sore arm uncomfortably.

"Let you stay in the palace, not to be dissuaded."

Xiao Junmo blamed her, picked up the blanket that fell on the car, and pulled Chi Wanwan to knead her arm for her.

"Lord Wang, the situation is not optimistic."

Chi Wanwan enjoyed Xiao Junmo's service, and opened the curtain with the other hand to look out, only to see that the surroundings were desolate, the land was dry and cracked, and the mounds of soil were one by one.

The sun shines on it, and it makes people feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Xiao Junmo was noncommittal to her words, and the people with rugged bones, dark skin, and chapped lips they saw along the way made them feel uncomfortable.

"Notify the yamen, open a warehouse to release grain, and assign a few doctors to treat the sick people free of charge."

As soon as he got off the carriage, Xiao Junmo ordered the accompanying officials and entourage to go to the Yamen, and he took advantage of the fact that it was still dark to inspect the local water conservancy.

Chi Wanwan was naturally inseparable from Xiao Junmo, and her body was equipped with various ointments in case of emergency.

Xiao Junmo inspected the land problem along the way, and carefully observed the riverbed that had long since dried up.

"Lord, it is said that this place was once a rich place, and if it weren't for the lack of water, it wouldn't have become what it is now."

The officials who had been sent here to inspect the same group said flatteringly.

"Why don't you think you want to solve it when you know there's no flow?"

Xiao Junmo asked coldly, if it wasn't for the emperor's arrangement, he really let these dogs who can only stalk and shoot horses get away.

"Lord Wang, this ......"

The official stuttered a little for a while, where would he think about these thankless things? If it weren't for the fact that he was dealing with the imperial court, he wouldn't even want to know about the situation here.

"Hmph, get out of the way, don't get in the way of this king's eyes."

Xiao Junmo didn't save face for him at all, and returned to the yamen with Chi Wanwan.

The problem of Qingping County is on the bright side, but in order to find a way to solve the local water conservancy problem, we have to carefully study the topographic map before we can start.

Xiao Junmo had an idea, so he found a local topographic map.

Until late at night, I was still researching.

The candle flame shook slightly, and it was Chi Wanwan who pushed the door in, allowing the wind to follow in.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Xiao Junmo looked at her distressedly.

"Come to accompany the prince, can you think of a solution?"

Chi Wanwan rubbed his temples, and there was a trace of distress in his heart.

"In this situation in Qingping County, the only way to do this is to open a canal to divert water and let the crops in this place be nourished by the flow of water."

Xiao Junmo compared the topographic map and explained his plan in detail to Chi Wanwan.

"Let's build another big reservoir." Chi Wanwan suggested.

Ditching water is a long-term solution, but if a river dries up once, it can dry up a second time.

"Build a big reservoir to store water in the rainy season and release it in the dry season." Chi Wanwan spoke her mind.

"Let the river have a certain flow of water, so that it doesn't dry up again in the rainy season, disrupt the water cycle, and then suffer another drought."

"It's a feasible plan." Xiao Junmo listened to Chi Wanwan's thoughts, and was overjoyed in his heart, and was impressed by her again.

It was my own fault before, and I thought that the women in the boudoir didn't know anything about it, but Wanwan was never different from those women.

After some discussion, the two decided to continue to reconnoiter the terrain tomorrow and make accurate preparations for the water diversion.

Early the next morning, Xiao Junmo took Chi Wanwan around the riverbed in Qingping County all the way up, and inspected the surrounding mountains.

Until the afternoon, Xiao Junmo kept the topography of Qingping County in mind and planned the best water diversion path.

"Lord Wang, I have a way to improve the local land situation." Chi Wanwan studied the soil all morning and was overjoyed.

"Really?" Xiao Junmo was also overjoyed when he heard it.

"The land here is acidic ......"

Chi Wanwan's eyebrows fluttered to tell her discovery, and suddenly Xiao Junmo pulled her over......

"Be careful!"

Chi Wanwan was a little unsteady and almost fell to the ground.

Without waiting for her to inquire about the situation, the sharp sword stabbed at her and Xiao Junmo again.

How dare Chi Wanwan say more, push Xiao Junmo and run away.

However, their speed was nowhere near that of a professionally trained Assassin, and it wasn't long before the two were cornered on the edge of a cliff.

"Brothers, don't mess around, murder and break the law, think twice, think twice."

Chi Wanwan was terrified in her heart, after all, she had never seen such a battle, and she kept babbling, trying to disturb the thoughts of this group of assassins and find an opportunity to escape.

"Big brother, there's something to discuss~"

However, this group of people was not fooled, and stabbed directly at their vital point with a sword.

Chi Wanwan took Xiao Junmo to dodge with difficulty, his feet slipped, and the two of them fell directly off the cliff with wheelchairs......

"Wanwan!"

Xiao Junmo called out to her in fright, hugged her tightly, and always protected her head on the way to the bottom of the mountain, she was indeed smashed enough, and she fainted as soon as she stopped.

"Xiao Junmo? Xiao Junmo, wake up. Ji Wanwan kept patting him, and found that he had just fainted, so he relaxed and carefully examined his wounds.

"The leg injury is even worse!" Chi Wanwan hurriedly took out the medical items he had brought with him before and bandaged his wounds.
