Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu had a very smooth journey afterwards.
After arriving at their destination, Dazhou, they first went to the selected address of the reservoir to investigate the situation.
Yu Jinshu introduced the terrain of this place and explained why it is suitable for building a reservoir.
She actually didn't understand anything, but she had done her homework in the system, so she could explain it clearly.
Pu Kun valued Yu Jinshu's abilities more and more and felt that she was simply a genius.
Chen Faliang felt that Yu Jinshu was not an ordinary person. "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Yu has never been to Dazhou, but he has only seen a map, yet he can draw a blueprint of the reservoir based on the terrain. Grand Secretary Yu is truly a wise man!"
Pu Kun was very happy that the woman he loved was praised so highly by the minister. He looked at Yu Jinshu with tenderness in his eyes.
Yu Jinshu felt a little embarrassed because she was cheating.
It's like an exam, the teacher is invigilating at the top, and she is checking the book and taking the open-book test at the bottom.
"Your Majesty, look."
Zhang Li pointed to the way they came.
Pu Kun and Yu Jinshu stood on the river bank. They turned around and saw a large crowd of people coming in the distance.
I estimate there are tens of thousands of people.
Pu Kun frowned: "Why are there so many people?"
The guards were alert.
Pu Kun held Yu Jinshu in his arms and said, "Let's go. We can't stay here."
Chen Faliang said, "Your Majesty, there are people on all three sides. They look like ordinary people. Could it be that they heard that Your Majesty is here and have come to see you?"
Pu Kun frowned.
He left the palace in secret.
But when they left Beijing, all the concubines in the palace left the palace. There was such a big commotion, and there were assassins. Dazhou was their destination, and the people here must have heard the news.
Word of it spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and everyone knows it.
Yu Jinshu looked at the crowd and frowned, "If they were just here to see the emperor, that would be fine. But if they were being used, that could be troublesome."
Obviously, even if they came to see the emperor, the crowd could not be distributed so evenly.
These people seemed to be deliberately organized by someone and surrounded them on three sides.
Behind it is the surging river. This river must be bottomless and very dangerous.
Pu Kun said, "Let's go."
He pulled Yu Jinshu and planned to rush through the crowd.
Zhang Li led the guards in front, protecting the emperor and Yu Jinshu, and walked towards the people.
Walk in the middle.
But they soon discovered something was wrong.
Among the people, those in the front were actually half-grown children.
The children were led by women or elders, holding their hands, and quickly gathered around them.
Soon the circle of encirclement narrowed, and a man began to shout, "Look, the man in the middle at the back must be the emperor. I've seen the emperor's portrait, and it's him."
Some people secretly instigated the women and the elderly.
"Why don't you hurry up and go forward? If you can see the emperor, it will be a blessing earned through several lifetimes. If your child is appreciated by the emperor or is given some treasure, your family will rise to great heights."
After hearing this, the ignorant women and old people all came towards Pu Kun. The encirclement narrowed and people were crowded together.
The guards tried to squeeze out, but found that they couldn't, and were even pushed back to the river bank.
The power of crowding is really great.
The women, the elderly and children in the front wanted to stop and kowtow to the emperor, but they were squeezed by the people behind.
Yu Jinshu was well aware of the power of this human wall, and that it was easy for people to be trampled to death.
But there were too many people and the noise was too loud, so even if she wanted to speak, the people couldn't hear her.
It seems that someone is really playing tricks.
It must be the one who sent the assassin.
Who is that person?
Is it Yu Meilian? Or a concubine in the palace?
Most of them are very rich, and money makes the world go round, and any of them has this possibility.
Yu Jinshu didn't have time to think about these things. She had to find a way to make them disperse.
Especially the children in the front seemed unable to bear it and were in danger of being trampled by the adults behind them at any time.
Who is so cruel? To kill her, he used these children as scapegoats.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Zhang Li was at a loss as to what to do.
The people in front were all children, women and the elderly, so it was impossible to use force.
Yu Jinshu looked at the people behind him who were fanning the flames and shouted, "Their target is me. They want to push me into the river. Only if I jump into the river can these children escape danger."
The children in the middle couldn't bear it anymore and started crying loudly.
Yu Jinshu could no longer hesitate. She didn't care about the fact that she was a girl and began to take off her heavy robe.
Pu Kun grabbed her and said, "You can't jump. The water below is too fast. You will die if you jump in."
Yu Jinshu shook off his hand: "If I don't jump, the people behind me will trample these children to death."
Pu Kun also realized this problem, and it seemed that she had no choice but to jump into the water.
Should I choose her?
Or choose so many ordinary people, especially so many children?
He seemed to have no choice.
There are too many children here, and we must not let them die.
If Yu Jinshu died in the river this time, he would definitely go down to accompany her after eliminating the person who killed her.
Be it the road in this world or the road to the underworld, they have to walk it together.
Yu Jinshu had never expected that Pu Kun was such a romantic man, and such thoughts came to his mind.
She dared to jump into the water, on the one hand because she couldn't ignore the children, and on the other hand because she had a way to ensure her own safety.
She said to Pu Kun, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. I can swim and I won't die. Just wait for me on the shore. I will definitely get ashore."
She then said to the guards, "You will not jump. You must stay on the shore and protect the emperor. When the people have dispersed, you can go downstream to find me. But you can't jump. No one will be able to take care of each other, and you will all lose your lives."
After saying that, she took off her outer robe, leaving only her inner garment, and jumped into the river.
"Master Yu..." Chen Faliang shouted loudly.
Pu Kun is taking off his robe.
Chen Faliang quickly advised: "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, you must not jump."
Pu Kun said: "I am good at swimming and have great strength, so don't worry."
He looked at Zhang Li and the others, "Go downstream to find me and Grand Secretary Yu. Grand Secretary Yu is a wise man. With her around, the people are safe. You must rescue her first."
Zhang Li was still worried: "Your Majesty, you are the highest authority, you cannot go down. I am also a good swimmer, I will go down to rescue you."
Pu Kun's face darkened: "How can I allow you to save my woman?"
Zhang Li didn't know what to say now.
"emperor."
Chen Faliang exclaimed, and Pu Kun had already jumped into the water.
"emperor……"
Zhang Li also exclaimed.
He turned to look at the people who were pushing forward and found that after Yu Jinshu jumped down, the strong men behind him really did not push forward anymore.
It seems that someone did it on purpose.
