Chapter 209: Water Control
When Yu Qingwu, Yingyi, and Xiaohong returned to the place where the Guangqihu army was stationed, the sky was already bright. The two of them and one beast were thousands of feet in the air, and they could clearly see the soldiers spreading out in all directions in the snow, holding shovels and shovels instead of guns in their hands.
In the middle of the camp, a veteran wearing armor and a pestle sword was in the snow, like a god general looking down on the common people. It's just that his slightly pale face, the eyes that are staring at the rising hot lake, are full of worry.
This person is none other than Xu Bingen, the king of Xuzhou, a loyal and brave veteran who has never married in his life in order to show the Great Xia Dynasty that he has no intention of rebellion, and has no heirs under his knees!
"Go down!" Yu Qingwu gave an order to Xiao Hong, who immediately sank down, turned into a red light and landed on the snow in an instant.
"Father-in-law!"
As soon as she landed, Yingyi immediately jumped off Xiaohong's back, and then brought a gust of incense into Xu Bingen's arms, who was still a little nervous at first, and immediately showed joy when she saw the person who came, and said in a low voice: "I miss you so much!"
"It's good to come back! It's good to come back!" Xu Bingen shook his hand and stroked Yingyi's back, the reason why he had no children and no daughters under his knees was not because he didn't like children, but because he wanted to reassure the Great Xia Dynasty! In this case, he naturally regarded the righteous daughter Yingyi as his own, and even doted on Yingyi even more than Yingyi's own father! Yingyi followed Yu Qingwu to hunt down the carp spirit and did not return all night, and he also stayed awake all night, standing here and waiting. Fortunately, both of them returned safely, and the heart he had been hanging on also fell, and he didn't think about Yingyi, who was just away for one night, why did he say that he missed himself.
Seeing that the two had a strong family relationship, Yu Qingwu also jumped off Xiaohong's back, and after smiling, he hugged his fist at Xu Bingen, who kept comforting him: "Lord Wang, Qingwu is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the carp essence has been ambushed!"
Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Xu Bingen slowly pushed Yingyi away, pulled the two of them into the handsome tent with both hands, and said, "It's snowing outside, hurry up and drink a cup of hot tea!"
After entering the account, the veteran had no momentum, and after sitting down the two of them, he personally poured hot tea for the two of them, and then sat down himself, looked at the two and said: "Shouldn't you be at the bottom of the lake, how can you come back from the south?"
"Father-in-law, you don't know what to do!" Before Yu Qingwu could speak, Yingyi moved her body to Xu Bingen's side, hugged his left arm and said, "Although we have only been away for a few hours this time, we almost didn't come back!"
Immediately afterwards, she talked about the experience of the night, and when it came to the treasure of Chuanshan, Xu Bingen couldn't help but show surprise, but then he heard that there were four earth immortal-level demons in the Chuanshan enchantment, and his whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but clench Yingyi's hand.
It wasn't until Yingyi finished speaking that he got up with a serious face, bowed solemnly to Yu Qingwu, and said, "The old man and Yi'er's parents thanked King Fuyao, if it weren't for King Fuyao, I'm afraid it would be ......."
"The prince is serious!" Yu Qingwu hurriedly got up and turned sideways, and said: "The county lord left with Qingwu, so naturally he wanted Qingwu to come back together, and it was also Qingwu's mistake, which made the county lord frightened in vain, the prince did not blame Qingwu, Qingwu was already grateful, and how dare he bow to the prince?"
"Okay, father-in-law!" Seeing what Xu Bingen wanted to say, Yingyi pouted and dragged Xu Bingen down, saying, "Didn't I come back safely, and he was a big man to protect me, a weak woman, isn't it a matter of course!"
What she said was so bold that it only made Yu Qingwu laugh.
Xu Bingen is not a hypocritical person, and after glaring at Yingyi, he changed the topic and said: "I didn't expect that the legendary Chuanshan still exists in the earth, and it is still in the territory of the nesting small country. And there are also three great demons there, as well as a Supreme Elder of the Demon Sect Blood Slaughter!"
Yu Qingwu nodded, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "What is the prince going to do?"
"The Imperial Dynasty, everything depends on Your Majesty's decision!" Xu Bingen said without thinking. Although he is the king of Kyushu and has a heavy army, even if all the troops in Xuzhou will go to Chuanshan, it may not be able to pose too much threat to those four people. But the imperial capital is different, there are countless masters in the imperial capital, if the imperial capital makes a move, there will be no problem, so he is ready to report this matter to the imperial court.
Yu Qingwu had no objection to this, on the way back, he thought that this would be the result, although he also wanted to try the level in the boat mountain, but there was still a hidden peerless master there, I am afraid that he alone would not only get nothing, but also match his own life, in this case, joining forces with the Great Xia Dynasty is the best choice!
Subsequently, Xu Bingen summoned the herald and ordered him to send the news of the carp essence back to the imperial capital.
At this time, in a corner of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, a burly young man was doing a squat with each hand in his hands, his upper body was naked, revealing his knotted muscles, full of strength. At this time, it was almost November, although there had been no snow in the imperial capital, but the temperature was also very low, ordinary people had already put on thick winter clothes, but this young man was shirtless, which showed that his cultivation was not weak.
At this time, a man in a dark official uniform trotted over, and walked to the person who was exercising within ten zhang, and was stopped by a man in black armor and black armor, the official said to the man in black armor and then retreated, and the man in black armor took a few steps forward, knelt on one knee, and said to the young man who was exercising his strength with his back to himself: "Your Majesty, news came from Guangqi Lake that King Fuyao has killed the carp spirit that caused trouble in Guangqi Lake. The county lord of Qingzhou and a group of generals discussed the matter of water control, if nothing else, the king of Fuyao will return to the court in half a month!"
Boom!
Hearing the words of the guard Changlong Ju, Xia Luqi let go of the two jack tripods in his hand, and the two tripods weighing more than 1,000 catties fell to the ground, making the earth tremble. He turned around, his pair of sharp knife-like eyebrows raised, and he looked at Long Ju who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay!
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Long Ju raised his head and said: "In addition to this news, the news that the treasure of Chuanshan has reappeared in the world has also been transmitted from Guangqi Lake, and King Fuyao has found three thousand-year-old demons in the place where he chased and killed the carp essence, that is, in the Chuanshan Barrier, and there is also a person in the Demon Dao with a thousand-year-old Dao!"
Xia Luqi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This matter will be discussed after Ah Shu comes back, at this time, you send people to spread the news throughout the city, saying that Fuyao Wang Yu Qingwu won the first battle, and he will calm the disaster of Guangqi with his own strength, and return the class teacher to the dynasty in the near future!"
"This ......" Long Ju hesitated, although he didn't understand the Emperor's intentions, he still nodded, turned around and retreated to do what the Emperor had explained.
......
In the tent of the Guangqi Lake camp, Yu Qingwu didn't know that it would not be long before his reputation spread throughout the entire imperial capital, and even spread to the whole world. He asked Xu Bingen, who was bowing his head and contemplating: "Lord Wang, the carp essence has been ambushed, I wonder if you have any good plan to control the water?"
"The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, how else can the water be controlled?" Yingyi on the side smacked his lips and said.
Xu Bingen shook his head and smiled, raised his hand and doted on Yingyi's forehead, and said: "Have you forgotten the past five hundred years ago? ”
"Although the flood of Guangqi Lake today is far less than the flood five hundred years ago, if the dam is built and blocked, although it can successfully control the water, but it will make the original fertile land lose a lot, and the life of the people here will be much more difficult in the future, so the best method is Emperor Yu's water drainage method!"
Hearing her father-in-law's words, Yingyi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Anyway, it's up to the two of you to decide here, I'm a little county lord, and I don't have any official position, so whatever you say is what you say!"
"Hahaha!" Xu Bingen couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Qingwu also smiled, and then said: "Lord Wang, Qingwu has an idea, I don't know if the road will work." ”
"Oh?" Xu Bingen was interested, raised his hand and said, "But it's okay to say it!"
Yu Qingwu nodded and said, "I have looked at this land within a radius of several miles with the eyes of the Heavenly Law before, and found that this place is basically flat, and it is precisely because of this that the water surface of Guangqi Lake has risen slightly, causing the water to flood for a hundred miles. In this case, when we dig a canal to divert water, can we not divert excess lake water into the sea, but dig the canal into a winding dragon shape to intersperse this area? In this way, not only can the water surface of Guangqi Lake be lowered, but it is also convenient for the people to plant grains, and there is no need to carry water from Guangqi Lake with manpower!"
This method is equivalent to expanding the area of Guangqi Lake, although it has also lost some fertile soil, but it is indeed beneficial to the people, so after Yu Qingwu finished speaking, Xu Bingen immediately got up and applauded: "The king of Fuyao is not only brave and invincible, but also resourceful, it is really the blessing of Great Xia! The blessing of the people!
"The prince praised it falsely, Qingwu is ashamed to be ashamed!" Yu Qingwu hurriedly got up and said modestly.
Now Xu Bingen likes Yu Qingwu more and more, if Yingyi is his biological daughter, maybe he will marry it to Yu Qingwu on the spot! He patted Yu Qingwu on the shoulder, and then in addition to the camp tent, he said to a soldier waiting beside him: "Pass on the king's order, suspend the digging of the ditch, and wait until the king and the king of Fuyao agree on the waterway!"
After speaking, he turned back to the tent, spread out the animal skin map on the table, and studied with Yu Qingwu how to determine the direction and route of the canal to achieve the best effect.
The terrain in Guangqi is flat, so it is not difficult to choose the route of the canal, and after half an hour, the two of them added the road of the canal on the map, and then more than 50,000 soldiers were needed to start digging the canal.
