Chapter 059 What happened?
Half an hour later, the imperial guards returned, and the news they brought set the camp ablaze again.
The direction of the flood discharge is basically in line with expectations and has re-entered the lower reaches of the Qingyao River.
After Qin Zhaoqiong received the news, he praised everyone for their efforts and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
"Disaster relief is urgent. We will leave for Chiyan County in half an hour. Also..."
Her eyes were fixed on the face of one of the officials in the field.
"Huang Su, the Tiangongsi, almost made a huge mistake due to an error in his soil survey.
I punish you by organizing the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken villages in Mingyan County and investigating the issue of the cement mortar in the caves. I hope you can atone for your sins."
Huang Su's face was bitter. He had originally still had some hope, after all, the dredging was completed.
This is equivalent to being kicked out of the disaster relief team. Not to mention any credit, if it is not handled properly, you may even lose your career.
"I...know my guilt! I will do my utmost to atone for my sins."
After hearing this, Qin Zhaoqiong didn't even look at him again, as if it was just a punishment he made casually.
According to Sixth Sister, it doesn't matter what Mr. Huang does.
If you are not dedicated to investigating the case or do not have the talent, then just cover it up;
If he is eager to make a contribution or is lucky enough to find out something, it will just lead to the person behind the scenes.
This is the true way to atone for one's sins.
Qin Zhaoqiong never thought of letting him go.
If it weren't for his sixth sister's knowledge of the unknown formula of black powder, everything would be in danger due to his negligence.
The blocked waterway in Mingyan County will affect the water management of the entire Qingyao Prefecture. If we are slow in one step, all steps will be slow.
As for whether Huang Su was simply derelict in his duty or was assigned by someone, Qin Zhaoqiong didn't have time to care about it now.
The camp immediately became busy. The dredging was urgent and they didn't even have lunch.
I have to clean up and fill my stomach at the same time, so half an hour is a bit tight.
At this moment, Meng Jian found the soldier, but he didn't know when he had quietly returned to the camp.
"Chen Fang, is this your real name?"
Chen Fang lowered his eyes, showing no intention of answering.
"Don't be so cold, I know I broke the rules by forcing you to show up today.
But heaven and earth know it, you know it, and I know it. Not letting the old man know is the same as not breaking the rules. Don’t you think so?
As for now, I still have a small favor to ask of you. I want to meet that Xuanji Guard..."
A stunned expression froze on his face. Chen Fang raised his head and said, "Master, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Meng Jian stepped forward and put his arm around the man's shoulder. "Don't be so cold. We've known each other for many years. It's okay for you to do me a little favor."
Chen Fang couldn't believe it.
He has been secretly protecting Meng Jian for many years and believes he understands his character.
He is upright, brave, and lacks flexibility. However, as the commander of the Royal Guard, being a bit rigid is not a bad thing.
It was only after returning to the camp that Chen Fang found out that it was Meng Jian who was responsible for dredging the flood.
It's nonsense to say that he took some magical medicine and advanced to the Divine Martial Realm in a short period of time!
He had promised not to do it again, but how long has it been since he started doing it again?
What Meng Jian had done in the past half day overturned Chen Fang's perception of him, and he even seemed to not recognize him anymore.
It was because Qin Zhaoyue was not here, otherwise one sentence would have woken him up. This is what is called "learning good things for a lifetime, but learning bad things in a short time."
Meng Jian came closer and used his Qi to transmit his voice, “Just like before, this time it’s serious business.
I guarantee that if my father were here, he would make the same choice as me.
Just send her a message and tell her that I already know the reason why the cement dam appeared in the cave.
This is a serious matter. Neither Her Royal Highness nor I am capable of handling this case. It must be handed over to the Xuanji Guards."
Chen Fang was silent.
He had made an exception before, and no matter what means the young master took, the final result was that the flood was released.
So this time, it should be a last resort?
But the fact that there were two exceptions in one day made him feel irritated.
That is to say, Qin Zhaoyue is not here, otherwise it would only take one sentence to wake him up: "Some things only have zero times and countless times."
The strong wind messed up his hair, and Chen Fang was no longer in front of him.
Meng Jian rubbed his nose, feeling that the wind carried some emotion.
In the grove, the breeze is blowing.
Yaoguang clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, "Sir."
Xuanji Guard Captain Yinzhe frowned slightly, "What happened?"
The subordinate's clothes were disheveled and his breathing was unstable. One could tell at a glance that he had just experienced a battle, and it was not an easy one.
Yaoguang's chest heaved violently as he revealed the inexplicable provocation from the Meng family's secret guards.
The two fought for more than three hours, and the Meng family's martial arts were powerful and vigorous, and they had the upper hand as time went on.
And just when she was about to run out of energy, the opponent would slow down the pace of attack, using purely physical strength and moves to give her time to rest.
"Sir, the Meng family's secret guards have been delaying time and forcing me to leave.
But after he suddenly left, news came from the camp that the landslide lake had been dredged.
The method used was that Meng Jian took a magical medicine and advanced to the Divine Martial Realm in a short period of time."
This kind of ridiculous reason may be enough to fool ordinary people.
Xuanji Wei knows too many secrets. There is indeed such a miraculous medicine, but the prerequisite for it to be effective is that the person taking it is at the peak of the fourth level.
Moreover, it is not that one will directly possess the strength of the Divine Martial Realm after taking it, but only that one can glimpse a hint of its mystery and remove some obstacles to break through the realm.
Obviously, the kid from the Meng family was covering up the method of flood discharge and dredging, even including them.
Hiding the truth from Xuanji Guard is equivalent to hiding the truth from His Majesty.
Moreover, when would the Meng family's secret guards show up and obey the orders of the ones they were protecting? This wasn't a life-or-death situation.
What made Yinzhe even more unbelievable was that the only one in the entire disaster relief team who knew that they were following was the captain of the Qingluan Guard.
In other words, at least the Meng family boy and the Qingluan Guards reached an agreement on the matter of concealing the Xuanji Guards.
Yinzhe narrowed his eyes and pressed down suddenly with his right index finger.
sieve!
The extremely compressed wind blade cut through the tree trunk, and the cut was extremely smooth.
Under the dim rain curtain, only a flash of silver light could be seen.
"etc!"
Chen Fang showed up, holding his sword in front of his chest without drawing it out, indicating that he was not here to provoke.
His eyes fell on the middle of the scabbard, where there was a deep cut mark.
His heart was pounding because he was not sure if his true energy could withstand the impact if it landed on his body.
"Wait, I'm here to deliver a message..."
The wind blade attacked again, and Chen Fang flew back, while concentrating all his attention to catch the deadly thread as thin as a gossamer.
At the critical moment, he swung his arm suddenly, and the scabbard blocked the attack again, but it was entangled and cut off, and the sword was forced out of the sheath.
"Sir, I mean no harm. I do have very important news concerning the cement dam beneath the cave..."
Yin Zhe turned to face him, "If you dare to attack my Xuanji Guard, you must be ready to die."
As she spoke, her fingers moved, and a sharp and high-frequency vibration was emitted in the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Chen Fang's scalp tingled and he turned around and ran!
