There was already a bit of water. After digging for a while, a large amount of water came gushing out. They had replaced the water with a few soldiers who were able to swim well. The rest had already left.
When the people outside saw the water, they hurriedly dragged the few people who were still underground out.
Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao had long since been standing at the side watching, looking at this scene, their hearts were filled with joy.
"Why is the water so muddy?"
Although he already had a source of water, Qin Shuo knew that the water was extremely turbid. It would definitely not be able to be used as a reference right now.
After all, this is a newly dug water source. It’s normal for it to be a bit turbid, so it will slowly become clear. Let the bailiffs guard this place and not let the citizens use it before the water is clear.
After all, they did not have many conditions, and could only reinforce the periphery a little. Although it was a little rough, it solved the difficult problem of the commoners having no water to drink.
At this time, everyone who still had doubts about Hu Xiao was considered to be completely lucky. Even the commoners who were born and bred in the Sui City greatly admired Hu Xiao, the Empress of East Court.
After all, if not for Hu Xiao, she would have long since starved to death and die from thirst.
Even Yin Fufeng, Mo Zhu and Zhao Qiyan had initially doubted Hu Xiao’s words about opening the channel and leading the water inside, as the construction work was too big and they did not know if Hu Xiao was sure that she could bring the water into the Sui City. However, when they saw the well just now, what else could they not believe?
After returning to the residence, Hu Xiao immediately asked Zhi Lan to look for the Four Treasures in the study. Previously, Hu Xiao thought that the well wouldn’t be too deep, but there was still some distance between them, and only after drawing and writing for a while did Hu Xiao give the thing in her hand to Qin Shuo.
"What is this?"
He saw that the paper was round like a stick, and there was something wrapped around it. He did not know what it was.
"This is used above which well, after making this thing, place it on top, above it is a circle of rope, for people to draw water, as long as you tie the bucket on the rope, turn the handle and put the bucket down."
Sure enough, after Hu Xiao explained the situation, Qin Shuo felt enlightened. He handed the blueprint in his hand to Wei Shi who was standing by the side and gave the orders.
"Oh, Your Majesty, do you trust chenqie this much?"
She casually said it, but Qin Shuo actually took it very seriously, which made Hu Xiao a little suspicious.
"Since it was you who did it, of course I’m confident. Alright, why don’t you tell me what you want to do now?"
Last time, she only heard half of it before leaving, and it was because Hu Xiao planned to stay in the Sui City alone to handle this matter, it was truly too risky. Qin Shuo would definitely not allow Hu Xiao to do this, but since he had agreed to it, he would naturally not allow Hu Xiao to go personally.
"Cough cough, Your Majesty, it’s like this ..."
After pointing out the map that Zhi Lan had given him, Hu Xiao had long studied it and understood what was on it.
"This red one is what you want to do?"
Looking at the winding red lines, Qin Shuo’s face flashed with a complex look.
"Chenqie did it."
In the face of Qin Shuo’s question, Hu Xiao did not have much perseverance, but she knew that it was nothing out of the ordinary, especially after what you did in front of that person just now.
"Heh, the empress admits to it quickly. Since that’s the case, the empress should do what she wants, but there’s one more point, the empress only needs to lead from behind. There’s no need to check for yourself today, there are many talented people in our East Court."
Qin Shuo felt that if he did not continue chatting with Hu Xiao, Hu Xiao would most likely still be the same, fearlessly leading the group forward.
"Your Majesty! How could this be possible!? If I didn’t see it myself, how would I know where to start? This is just the general range of the map that chenqie has been thinking about.
Hu Xiao looked at Qin Shuo and did not retreat in the slightest.
"Yes, most of the people here are talented in East Court, but your Majesty, since chenqie is a human, then those outstanding people are human as well. If chenqie were to go, she would definitely do it well! If you want to do this properly, it will not be done overnight.
If he could, he would knock Qin Shuo’s brain to see what Qin Shuo was thinking. No matter how he looked at it, doing this by himself was the best choice, why did Qin Shuo have so much hesitation!
"Empress!"
How could Qin Shuo not know that Hu Xiao had done the best thing, but in the past few days, she had only bought a plot of land, and that she was almost captured by the Prefect and imprisoned. If she did such a huge thing, then how could Hu Xiao avoid the danger!
"Your Majesty, what Empress said is extremely true! The reason why Empress was able to bring the water out today is because we saw that piece of land. If it was any of us who went there, we would not know, so if Empress was not allowed to go there, it would be half the effort. "
Wen Fuchen who was standing quietly at the side and listening to the conversation, suddenly had a thought and knelt down.
After all, they knew what Wen Fuchen was like in the past, but to be kneeling down and speaking up for Hu Xiao right now, that was simply too ordinary.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject also feels that what Empress said is true. This humble subject can protect Empress until the end!"
Zhao Qiyan kneeled down and said without thinking, but the meaning behind his words made Hu Xiao feel extremely grateful.
His words made Hu Xiao suddenly understand why Qin Shuo was so against her personally going over there.
"Your Majesty, chenqie doesn’t need to do anything else. I only need to look at the route and mark the places that I need to move. As for the rest, I’ll hand them over to the others."
Hu Xiao’s promise moved Qin Shuo a little. Although what she said was reasonable, in Qin Shuo’s eyes, it was far too dangerous. In Qin Shuo’s heart, there was nothing that could compare to Hu Xiao’s current safety.
Seeing that Qin Shuo was still frowning and not saying anything, Hu Xiao’s heart sank down bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is truly worried, you can count the number of hidden guards to escort us along the way!"
This was already Hu Xiao’s biggest concession, if she did not agree, then the matter would be difficult to accomplish.
