A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1571 Salvaged, cheated by the Lu family

The Ninth Prince's speculation was basically correct, but it was a bit conspiratorial...

The Lu family never thought that one day they would be exterminated and that one day they would attract so many people to seize the treasure. The Lu family stored their wealth at the bottom of the lake just to make it easier to take it out.

Yes, for easy removal.

Agarwood will sink in fresh water but float in sea water. The ship of the Lu family that sank to the bottom of the lake was made of agarwood.

You heard it right. The Lu family used agarwood worth a fortune to build a ship. This shows how terrifying the Lu family’s wealth is.

The reason why the Lu family used agarwood to build the ship was, firstly, because they had too much silver and had no place to spend it; secondly, a ship made of agarwood could sink in fresh water, and if enough seawater was introduced to flow back, the ship would float.

The island is right by the sea, so it is not difficult to divert seawater back into the lake. At least it is faster and less labor-intensive than draining the water from the lake.

Ahem... At this moment, what the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen did was to drain the lake water.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen had thought about diverting seawater back into the lake, but they didn't know that the boat at the bottom of the lake was made of agarwood.

Without knowing the material, they had no idea how much seawater they would need to divert into the lake to make the boat float. Of course, even if they knew what the material was, they wouldn't necessarily be able to calculate it.

If the amount of seawater introduced is less, they may be able to release a little more; but if it is too much, not only will the ship be washed into the sea, but the island will also be flooded. When the island is flooded, they will suffer even more.

For safety reasons, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen could only use the dumbest method. Fortunately, they had a large number of people, and with 30,000 people working together, it would not be difficult to divert the lake water into the sea through a river.

At least that's what Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince thought, but it turned out they were totally wrong.

As mentioned before, there are many freshwater lakes on this island, and now the problem lies with the other freshwater lakes.

The water sources of several lakes on the island are actually interconnected, which means that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen have to drain all the fresh water on the island before they can see the ship loaded with gold.

Once the fresh water is gone, the island will be ruined.

This project is not ordinary big!

Being cheated by the Lu family.

This is what the Ninth Uncle said after he knew the truth. Feng Qingchen was originally very depressed, but seeing that the Ninth Uncle was in a bad mood, she decisively felt better: "The Lu family is really not simple. If you want to seize the treasure, you have to pay a price."

"Don't forget, you are a member of the Lu family." The Ninth Prince hit Feng Qingchen on the head in annoyance, this girl who was gloating over other people's misfortunes.

Feng Qingchen pouted, rubbed the place where he was hit by the Ninth Uncle, and said aggrievedly: "I told you not to hit your head, it will make you stupid."

"It's better to be a little dumber." Being a little dumber is easier to be deceived.

Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes at the Ninth Emperor's uncle and said, "You just bully me. Humph... Even the Lu family can't stand it and want to torment you. What's wrong with the Lu family? If it weren't for me, a member of the Lu family, you wouldn't be able to find the Lu family's wealth."

This is true. If Feng Qingchen's wooden box had not fallen to the bottom of the lake, the Ninth Prince would never have let anyone go to the bottom of the lake to look.

The bottom of the lake doesn't look like a place where treasure can be hidden.

…

No matter how depressed the Ninth Prince was, since the matter had already started, there was no reason to give up halfway. The Ninth Prince could only let his men continue working, while he himself stayed in the cabin, constantly sending messages to Dongling and Beiling.

He will be returning one to two months later than expected, and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance, and he also needs to inform others in advance to avoid being exposed.

The reason he gave to the outside world was that he was taking Feng Qingchen to Xuanyi Valley for treatment.

The emperors of Dongling and Xiling had no doubt about this. He had confronted the emperor and Xuanxiao Palace for the wound on Feng Qingchen's back.

This time when I went to Beiling, I finally got the snow lotus that was treasured by the Beiling royal family. Naturally, I had to take Feng Qingchen there for treatment.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has done many absurd things for Feng Qingchen over the years. Naturally, outsiders would believe that he would risk his life for the beauty he loves, and would even more believe that he would sacrifice his country for the sake of beauty.

However, medical treatment also has a time limit, two or three months is fine, but if he delays like this, he will have to delay it for at least two or three more months. Half a year, if he doesn't make arrangements in advance, it will be easy for someone to catch him.

The Ninth Prince has always been cautious. In order to conceal his and Feng Qingchen's whereabouts, he did not hesitate to stain the island with blood and attack the people of the four countries and nine cities. How could he fail at the last moment?

Feng Qingchen knew that the Ninth Prince was busy, so she didn't bother him. These days, she only focused on the island's affairs, and from time to time she went to the army to help, train military doctors, and teach the navy some simple aquatic medical knowledge.

She had been to the Ninth Prince's secret island before and was familiar with these people. They got along quite well.

Eighteen Riders and Feng Liyouge accompanied him throughout the journey and learned a lot about sea protection. Seeing that Feng Qingchen could get along with anyone, Eighteen Riders couldn't help but compare the Ninth Uncle with Feng Qingchen.

The Ninth Prince is like the white clouds in the sky, noble, sacred and inviolable. Except for Feng Qingchen, he keeps a distance of ten thousand miles from everyone else, making people dare not get close to him.

Feng Qingchen is different. She is noble and bright, but she lives in the human world. Although she is also born extraordinary, noble and proud, she is much closer than the Ninth Prince.

Don’t you see that the Ninth Prince’s navy is becoming more and more friendly towards Feng Qingchen?

Don’t you see that the Ninth Prince’s navy will first complete the task assigned by Feng Qingchen, and then execute the Ninth Prince’s orders?

Don’t you see…

The Ninth Prince's army of trolls almost forgot about the Ninth Prince, and all they talked about was what Miss Feng said...

This is the charm of personality, you can’t envy it.

The Eighteen Riders and Feng Li Youge would gather together and chat whenever they had nothing to do, discussing the differences between the leadership of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen.

The former only has power, while the latter uses both power and kindness. We cannot say who is good or bad, we can only say that the former is suitable to be an emperor, while the latter is suitable to be a general...

These two really match each other.

This was the conclusion that Shi Baqi and Feng Li Youge came to after discussing for more than half a month.

Don't blame them for being bored, life on this island is just too boring.

You know, the project of bringing in fresh water is huge and boring. And life on the ship and on the island is equally boring. The navy has gotten used to this kind of life, but Eighteen Riders and Feng Li Youge can't get used to it, and even Snow Wolf is getting irritated.

When will days like this end?

Feng Qingchen also became impatient and opened his eyes to see nothing but water. He could still laugh at the beginning, but after looking at it for a month, it was almost fatal.

Fortunately, they did not encounter big waves or heavy rain during the month they were on the island. They were lucky that the rainstorm had passed when they arrived, otherwise their workload would have doubled if the rainstorm and waves came!

But even so, it still took tens of thousands of people a month and a half to drain all the water on the island.

As the water in the lake gradually decreased and the boats at the bottom of the lake gradually appeared in sight, everyone was extremely excited...

This is the result of their two months of hard work!

This is what they came to this island for!

This is the legendary Lu family wealth!

Finally, it appeared in front of them!

The bookstore has released a new version, it’s all noble and cool, I can’t understand it either… you know.
