Chapter 42 How to dig and how to fill

At this moment, the people were boiling,

They ran to the drainage trough, and some even stood under the water, feeling the impact of the river.

"Yan King Shenwu! Yan King is mighty!"

Such calls were endless, and even Du Ruhui, Jiang Wei and others shouted with the people, and Leng Yan's prestige reached its peak at this moment.

It's a pity that there are only more than 20,000 people in Quanyang, and if there are more people, his prestige will definitely soar.

After the madness, the people knelt down and thanked,

From the previous unbelief to the current worship, Leng Yan has become a god-like existence in the hearts of the people.

"It's King Yan who ended the history of Quanyang who hasn't been on the river for many years, and it's he who saved the people of Quanyang, no, I'll give him up when I go back today, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas in the future, I only believe in King Yan!"

"Yes, who would have thought that just such a thing would magically lead water up without spending a little effort, it's really a god!

"Hey, it's a pity that we didn't believe it before, but now that I think about it, I really shouldn't!"

After the people bowed down, they took up their hoes and began to drain the stream.

Now the river has only been led to the ground, and it will take some effort to bring it to Quanyang County.

Leng Yan saw that the first waterwheel had begun to work, so he breathed a long sigh of relief,

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a hard night's work, you might as well rest a little more and make plans after noon. ”

"King Yuyan, how can it be hard to witness such a miracle, but you, after a hard night, need to rest. ”

After Du Ruhui and the others heard Leng Yan's words, they all turned around to persuade Leng Yan.

Leng Yan shook his head slightly, if it was before, he would definitely not be able to bear it, but since he became a martial artist apprentice, there is no problem in insisting on such two or three nights.

Now a waterwheel is far from enough, according to the needs of Quanyang, a rough estimate, at least twenty to ensure the demand,

So he's probably going to have to stay here for at least a month.

Just when Leng Yan successfully built a waterwheel, there was a new movement at the east exit of Quanyang.

At this moment, the leader of the sergeant who was digging the road received a flying pigeon book, and he frowned as he looked at the contents of it,

"Brothers, this is the end of digging the road, let's retreat!"

He tore up the note, then shouted at the top of his voice.

The more than 1,000 sergeants who were working all stopped, and looked at their boss with a slight surprise,

"Head, it's a little bit close, don't dig it?"

There's already news from above, don't dig it!"

The Commander replied casually, and began to climb upwards.

This pit is now dug to a depth of 200 meters, and although he is a martial artist, it will take a lot of effort to climb from the bottom of the pit to the top by stepping on the soft loess.

On the official road here in Shanyang County, Cao Juncheng was sitting in a carriage and napping non-stop, he had been waiting here for several days.

Although it is boring, there is no way, the county guard Gao Hong has already sent news, no matter what, it will have to wait until General Wang of the capital comes here.

"My lord, my lord, wake up, there's movement over there, they don't seem to be digging anymore!"

A servant hurriedly came to the front of the carriage and said.

Cao Zheng was still confused, but after hearing the news, his body shook suddenly,

"What? Why don't you dig it?"

He has been comfortable in the past two days, and he wants to see how this group of sub-sergeants explains to General Wang from the Imperial City!

"Yes, my lord, most of their men have come from the bottom of the pit!" said the official again.

At this time, Cao Zheng was no longer in the carriage, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and wanted to ask what was going on.

A moment later, he came to the sergeants,

"Who's your commander? Why don't you dig it?"

Cao Zhengyi accidentally said his true words,

After all, Cao Zheng didn't let him dig at the beginning, they didn't stop, and now there is an order from above, but this guy let them continue to dig, isn't this sarcasm What is this?

"Who are you?"

The commander's eyebrows raised, and he must report this matter to Queen Lin when he goes back this time.

"I'm Ahem, I'm Cheng Cao Zhengye of Hexi County, Zhengliupin County, who are you?"

Cao Zheng said and straightened his official uniform, as if announcing that he was the parent official here.

"Okay, I've got it!"

The commander glared fiercely, then turned around to see that his brothers had come out of the pit, and waved his arm,

"Brothers, let's go!" After speaking, he left here along the official road in Shanyang County.

"Alas, alas, don't go, whose people are you?"

Cao Zheng still has Meng, he wants to know who these people are, in case General Wang comes, it would be better to have an explanation, right?

Unfortunately, these people ignored him at all, and did not ask why, until they watched the last person leave.

What should I do? Cao Zheng is in trouble now, no one doesn't say anything, and the pit is much deeper than before!

"My lord, what now, although no one has dug it, but who can go through such a big pit?" asked the official in a low voice.

"Well....... they won't dig it, we have to fill it in, can you go over if you don't fill it in?"

Cao Zheng thought for a moment and made such a decision.

According to his estimates, Quanyang County has long been exhausted of grass and grain, and the salt must have run out long ago.

As long as he fills in the pit here, no matter what the final outcome is, it can show that he is attentive anyway.

In this way, Cao Zheng began the difficult task of filling the pit with more than 100 servants who held grain and grass.

Their speed is slow, and they are not at all inferior to the sergeants who dig the pits.

At this rate, if you want to restore the official road here to the way it used to be, you can't do it in a month.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was five days, and in these five days, Cao Zheng had suffered a lot, his hands were worn out, and his skin was tanned.

But he did not complain at all, because he wanted to show the approaching General Wang, if he did his duty.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, the noisy sound of horses' hooves finally came from the distance of the official road.

This can make Cao Zheng very happy, and after waiting for so many days, he finally waited for the main master.

He guessed correctly, the person who came was General Wang, after he left the imperial city, he only brought a few imperial doctors and guards and rushed to Quanyang County non-stop, but Quanyang was too far away from the imperial city, and he didn't arrive here until today.

"Phew!"

Seeing a large number of convoys parked here, General Wang hurriedly reined in his horse.

"Who's in the way?" he exclaimed, but then when he saw the cart loaded with grain, grass and salt, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Don't be the grain and grass given to Quanyang, don't. He began to pray secretly.

"General, general, it's me, Hexi County!"

Cao Zheng saw that the main owner was coming, and immediately ran towards General Wang's horse.

"Hexi County Cheng, these are really the grain and grass sent to Quanyang County! It's really a bad thing for me!"

This general Wang came with the entrustment of his ministers, and when he saw that the food had not been sent at this moment, he was immediately furious!
