Ma Chenguang stood up and looked at Li Junyan with concern. "Your Highness, your whereabouts have been exposed. The Crown Prince and the King will not let go of this opportunity tonight. Why don't you go back?"
While persuading, Ma Chenguang also felt confused.
The prince is not a willful person, and he will not seek trouble for himself.
But if Wu Zhao leaves his fiefdom, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble and even endanger his life. Why does the prince still do this?
Li Junyan raised his eyes and looked at Ma Chenguang, "There must be a reason why I came out of the fiefdom."
Ma Chenguang's whole body tensed up, thinking that Li Junyan was angry at this time, and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am just worried about you——"
Li Junyan waved his hand, interrupting Ma Chenguang's words, "I know what you are thinking, it's okay.
Have you heard of cement?"
"I heard about it!" Ma Chenguang said sternly, "The news from Chang'an said that it was the recipe contributed by General Lei.
It is said that when cement is mixed with sand and used to build walls and pave roads, it is very strong.
The Emperor was delighted, and the Crown Prince and King Jing wrote to the Emperor, saying that such a thing should be enjoyed by the Emperor alone."
"Do you think so too?" Li Junyan asked.
Ma Chenguang was stunned by the question and looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Li Junyan didn't insist on hearing his answer, but continued, "If something as solid as cement were used to build dams, would the south still be flooded every year?"
"Your Highness!" Ma Chenguang's eyes lit up. "If this can really be used to build dams and prevent flooding, the lives of the people in the south will be much better, and the court will also spend less money and manpower. Why worry about the people not being prosperous and the country not being strong!"
"What would it be like if cement roads were built to connect all the counties, cities, and prefectures in the Great Zhou?"
Ma Chenguang looked thoughtful, obviously imagining everything Li Junyan described in his mind.
But he had never seen cement after all, let alone what a cement road looked like. His face was a little confused, yet full of longing.
“If it is really as His Majesty said, I feel that the lives of the people will definitely be more convenient.
How could the prince think of this? Could it be that——"
Before Ma Chenguang finished speaking, his eyes widened. "Could it be that the prince gave this cement recipe to General Lei?"
Without waiting for Li Junyan to answer, Ma Chenguang had already made up his mind and his eyes became brighter.
"I know this. Only Your Majesty can create something as miraculous as this! Only Your Majesty would always keep the people in mind."
Li Junyan slowly exhaled, "I gave this recipe to Lei Shou and asked him to present it to the emperor because I want to build the dam before the flood season arrives.
But the game between the Emperor, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Chen has been delayed for such a long time and there is still no result.
If we don’t act quickly, the people will suffer from floods again this year.
It would be fine if there was no solution like in previous years, but I cannot tolerate that there are ways to avoid and resolve the problem but time is wasted on power struggles.
This king left his fiefdom and headed south to build a dam with cement to prevent flooding."
Ma Chenguang looked at Li Junyan with shining eyes, and the next moment he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness is righteous! You have abandoned your own safety for the sake of the people. It is my fault! I am not even a fraction as good as Your Highness!"
"Get up." Li Junyan said lightly.
Ma Chenguang stood up again. "Your Highness and Lin Qi are traveling alone. Is the cement being transported to the rear? Will it pass by here? When the time comes, I will go to meet them in advance and secretly escort them! I will ensure that the cement is delivered safely to the south."
Li Junyan's lips curled up, and a smile appeared on his face, "This is the second thing I want to tell you.
This king has the protection of the goddess, and the cement was also given by the goddess.
As long as this king is there, the goddess can deliver cement."
Ma Chenguang blinked repeatedly, but there was still a look of confusion in his eyes.
What?
goddess?
Did he hear it right?
He remembered that when he was with the prince, the prince never believed in ghosts and gods, nor did he believe in Buddhism or Taoism.
How come after going to Tingzhou, you actually believe that there are goddesses in this world?
Although the prince spoke seriously, he always felt that it was a little unreal.
Could it be that the prince is...
Ma Chenguang was still thinking when he saw a big hand suddenly appear beside Li Junyan.
This palm is bigger than Li Junyan's, but the fingers are slender, and it can be seen that it is a woman's hand.
The hand was originally empty, but when the fingertips lightly touched the ground, several bags of gray things suddenly appeared on the ground.
Li Junyan pointed to the thing on the ground and explained, "This is cement."
Ma Chenguang looked at the big hand in shock, then looked at the things on the ground, and finally pinched himself hard.
After his lips twitched in pain and his eyes filled with tears, Ma Chenguang finally believed that everything he saw was real.
There really is a goddess in this world!
With a plop!
Ma Chenguang knelt again!
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how firmly he is kneeling.
Sang Jueqian felt a lump in his teeth just listening.
How many times has Ma Chenguang knelt down!
It's like this every time. Is his knee really okay?
"Goddess!" Ma Chenguang murmured, "Greetings to the Goddess! Long live the Goddess!"
Think about him, Ma Chenguang. Not only can he follow the prince in this life, but he can also have the honor of meeting the goddess. It is really a blessing in three lifetimes!
Just this matter alone is enough for him to tell it to future generations as a legend.
