Chapter 210: Digging a ditch or flirting
When the snow was drifting and covered in silver, thousands of generals took off their armor, or dug the soil according to the demarcated route with shovels, or transported the dug up sediment with dustpans. Guangqi is not a border pass, so there are not many wars, most of the time these Xuzhou soldiers are in training, this time Guangqi Lake sudden flood, they have the right to control the water is in training.
There are nine channels formulated in Guangqi this time, and more than 50,000 soldiers have started work respectively, and among this vast team, there are three people who are particularly special.
One is Yingyi, the other is Yu Qingwu, and the last one is Da Niu.
Because Yingyi is a daughter, she can't think of being special among this group of big men; and Yu Qingwu also became the first general because Xu Bingen's injury has not healed and he stays in the camp; as for the big cow, his burly figure is terrifying, and his strength is also extremely terrifying, others will dig a foot deep when they go down, and when he goes down with a spade, it is directly more than two feet deep, and this is because the tip of the spade is so long! It is precisely because of the big cow that the speed of digging in the channel where he is located is far ahead of the other eight channels.
Yu Qingwu had already taken off his armor, dressed in a green cloth Changsha, with his sleeves rolled up high, carrying a dustpan to carry away the mud and sand like a country man. The same is true for Yingyi, after removing the armor, she is a little less heroic, but more delicate. Because the beads of sweat on her forehead flowed into her eyes, she raised her hand stained with mud and pouted it on her forehead, making her originally smooth forehead dirty, not to mention how cute it was.
"Your Royal Highness, the county lord, you two are noble, so let the last general and others come to such a lowly job!"
A soldier next to him hurriedly put down the dustpan in his hand and reached out to grab the dustpan in Yu Qingwu's hand, but Yu Qingwu turned sideways, put the dustpan on his waist with one hand, and wiped Yingyi's forehead while raising his sleeve robe, while saying with a smile: "When the expedition is out, the soldiers should share weal and woe." Now, although we are not fighting a war, we are also doing things that benefit the country and the people, how can I be alone? If it weren't for the fact that the prince couldn't withstand the cold, he would definitely work here together!"
Maybe it was because Yu Qingwu's hands were dirty, or maybe it was because Yu Qingwu's behavior was too intimate, Yingyi hurriedly dodged Yu Qingwu's hand, glared at him, and said to the soldier who spoke: "That's right, my father and my father-in-law often teach me to share weal and sorrow with the people, if you stop it again, be careful that I repay my father-in-law and let him cure your crimes!"
"The last general will not dare!"
As soon as the soldier heard that he was going to be punished, he immediately did not even dare to say it, and after smiling bitterly, he stopped stopping the two of them, and turned around to carry the mud and sand.
The two of them, who were unhindered, carried a dustpan full of mud and sand to the dumping place together, Yu Qingwu bumped into Yingyi next to him, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are quite powerful as a girl!"
"That's!" Yingyi raised her little head and said proudly: "When I was a child, I was the little overlord of Qingzhou, and those boys were not my opponents!"
Yu Qingwu cracked his mouth and smiled, "No wonder it's like a man's wife!"
"Bastard!"
Hearing that Yu Qingwu actually said that she was a man's wife, Yingyi, who was still smiling just now, suddenly turned her hands over with an angry little lion, and the mud and sand in the dustpan immediately covered Yu Qingwu. However, the latter chuckled and turned around, and with a dustpan in his hand, he caught all the mud and sand in the air, and the particles did not fall, so that his dustpan, which was already full of mud and sand, was even fuller, more than three feet high!
"You want to plot against me, you're still 108,000 miles away!" Yu Qingwu smiled, holding the dustpan and turning into a gust of wind and drifting towards the place where the mud and sand were dumped.
"Don't run if you have the ability!"
Yingyi raised the empty dustpan and chased after it, but with her cultivation, it was impossible to catch up with Yu Qingwu.
The two of them fought like this, causing a group of soldiers to laugh more than once. Digging a ditch, Da Niu heard the noise of the two people behind him, stopped what he was doing, turned his head and shouted at the two people who were chasing: "Master, are you digging a ditch or flirting?"
Shout......
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist-sized ball of mud burst into the air and slammed into his chest, making his bare chest splash with dirt.
"Do your own work, why are you doing so much?"
Hearing Yu Qingwu's reprimand, Da Niu muttered a few words in a low voice, and continued to wave the shovel in his hand regardless of the cold soil on his chest. The soldier who was digging with him waved his shovel and asked, "Brother Niu, why do you call His Royal Highness Master Gongzi?"
In the eyes of the world, the master is the master, and the son is the son, the former is the name of the apprentice to the teacher, and the latter is generally the name of the subordinate to the master, and the two are completely incompatible.
Da Niu smiled, kept the work in his hands, and said, "Because he is my master and son!"
The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he immediately stopped asking. Although Yu Qingwu and the others have not been here for a few days, the whole army knows that there is a simple-minded and well-developed retinue under the command of the King of Fuyao, and his brain is extremely unbright!
He didn't speak, Da Niu didn't stop talking, he secretly glanced at Yu Qingwu and Yingyi behind him who were carrying soil while making trouble, and then said to the man: "Hey brother, are there any beauties with big breasts and round butts around here?"
Hearing Da Niu's words, the man was stunned for a moment, then pointed behind him, and said in a low voice: "Why did Brother Da Niu suddenly ask this, isn't our county lord a beauty?"
Da Niu stopped what he was doing, touched the back of his head and laughed, and the absurd scene of a dragon playing five phoenixes in the Red Powder Pavilion a few days ago came to mind, and said softly: "Although the county lord was born beautiful, his breasts are a little smaller, and his ass is not so fat, and you don't see that he is already a person from my master's son, where do I dare to beat her!"
After Da Niu finished speaking, the man's face turned pale, he secretly looked around, and was relieved when he saw that no one noticed the two of them, and then said to Da Niu with a wry smile: "My brother, our status is low, how can we judge the county lord!
Da Niu didn't have any idea about punishment, so he immediately bumped into the man and said, "Just say if there are any beautiful women around here!"
The man groaned, then nodded, and said, "Don't say it, there is really a peerless beauty in Shi Country around here!"
As soon as he heard that there was a peerless beauty, Da Niu's eyes lit up, he threw away the shovel in his hand, grabbed the man's arm and said, "Tell me where it is!"
"Don't worry!" the man glanced at the big bull and said: "Shiguo is just a small country, just in Xuzhou, there is a beautiful princess in the country, named Yuxi. It is rumored that she has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and a smile can be intoxicating!"
"Really?" Da Niu swallowed when he heard this, he reached out and took out seven or eight jade shells from the waistband of his trousers, and said, "Is this money enough for one night?"
Burst!
The man who was picking up the water bladder heard Da Niu's words, and the water in his mouth immediately sprayed Da Niu's face. After discovering that he was out of shape, he hurriedly threw away the water bladder, and while raising his hand to wipe the water stains on Da Niu's face, he smiled bitterly: "My big cow brother, Yu Xi is the princess of Shi Guo, although Shi Guo is just a small state and a small clan, it is impossible for the princess to come out and sell it, right?"
"Oh. ”
Da Niu sighed, and didn't take the man's words to heart, and after stuffing Yubei back into his trouser belt, he picked up the shovel and began to dig again, muttering: "When you go back, tell Master Gongzi that he should have more money there than me......"
When he was in the imperial capital, Ji Chenggang once told him, 'There is no woman who can't do it, as long as the bid is high enough', at this time, he only thought that his money was not enough, so he couldn't be the palace master of the country like the girls in the Dry Red Powder Pavilion, so he made up his mind to find Yu Qingwu to get money.
......
The project of digging a ditch to divert water was carried out in an orderly manner, and five days later, the channel where the big cow was located was the first to be completed, and at this time, Xu Bingen's injury was also healed and he joined the team digging the ditch. Yu Qingwu and Yingyi, who have always been like enemies, have each restrained themselves a little after Xu Bingen joined, but when there is no one or few people, there is still a verbal dispute, and they will chase and fight when it is fierce.
Three days later, nine channels stretching for more than 200 miles were completed, each channel was more than two zhang wide and more than one zhang deep, and the inside was full of water, and the originally flooded land in Guangqi also receded, leaving those muddy and small puddles to tell the world that this place had been invaded by a big flood.
The carp spirit at the bottom of Guangqi Lake has died, and the flood has been calmed down, so the next thing is to drag back those people who have taken refuge in Guangqi, and the matter of Guangqi will be completely calmed down. However, Yu Qingwu was no longer needed to lead the people back, so on the second day after the completion of the nine canals, Yu Qingwu and his party prepared to return to the imperial capital.
Yu Qingwu, who put on his helmet and armor again, rode on Xiaohong's back and said to Xu Bingen, who was sending him off: "Lord Wang, the matter of pulling the people will bother you, and Qingwu still needs to return to the imperial capital to repay His Majesty!"
Xu Bingen nodded, with a kind smile on his face, and said: "King Fuyao has the emperor's life, and the old man will not stay long, I just hope for a smooth journey!"
"Everyone, there will be a date later!" Yu Qingwu said, and was about to turn around and leave, but Yingyi, who was dressed in plain clothes, ran up, and said with a fierce look on her face: "Boy, if anyone dares to bully you in the emperor's capital, report my name!"
Her tone is not good, but her eyes are sincere and full of reluctance. Although she has not known Yu Qingwu for a long time, and the two often fight together, she has really taken Yu Qingwu as a close friend, and may have some emotions closer than friends.
"Report your name, I'm afraid I'll be bullied even worse!"
Yu Qingwu smiled and rushed out first, and then Da Niu and other eleven horsemen also followed, leaving Yingyi who stomped his feet to vent his anger.
A group of twelve people rushed out for dozens of miles, until it was difficult to see the place where the Xuzhou soldiers were stationed, the big bull drove the horse to catch up with Yu Qingwu, who was slowing down, and asked embarrassedly: "Master, do you know where the Dao Shiguo is?"
"On our way back to the imperial capital, we will pass through the border of Shiguo!" Yu Qingwu replied without thinking, and then said in surprise: "Why do you ask this?"
"I heard that there is a peerless beauty in Shi Guo, I want to ............ I want to ......" The big bull blushed and sputtered, "I want to ...... Dry ......"
“......”
The corners of Yu Qingwu's mouth twitched, and the other ten horsemen also looked weird. However, at this time, Yu Qingwu's mind was reminded of the picture of more than ten years ago, and after a while, he nodded and agreed to Da Niu's request. A group of twelve people immediately deflected slightly and headed towards Shicheng.
