Chapter 223: Swallow's Nest
"Your Highness!" The girl's voice was hoarse with anxiety. Yuchi Shuo turned around hurriedly, "Your Highness, I have already found a skilled craftsman in the Imperial Capital. Please don't give up."
Hearing Gu Feixue's energetic voice, Yuchi Shuo's brows immediately lit up with joy, "Xue'er, you, you're back."
"Not only am I back, I also found the most powerful person." Gu Feixue was confident about the incompetent Amo Gong. He pointed down. From this height, he could see groups of people. Everyone looked anxious, as if they were waiting for orders from above. Everyone was ready to leave.
But at this moment, Gu Feixue arrived.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Snow?" Someone was watching with his hands on his shoulders.
"Yes, it is indeed Mr. Snow."
"With you and I joining forces, and with Yang Dinggan, Wen Baxian, A Mogong, and Su Xipo, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties." Gu Feixue meant to never give up.
Yuchi Shuo looked down.
Everyone thought he would give up and leave, but he had no intention of doing so.
"Let's work together to build the dam." He announced in a loud voice that everyone below could hear, and the people of all kinds had different reactions.
After coming down from upstairs, Gu Feixue immediately went to find Su Xipo.
Su Xipo was a man of great bearing. He was originally a timid person, but now seeing that these insignificant people were so loyal and brave, as a powerful person, he could not just leave.
"Your Highness, Su Xipo kowtows."
Su Xipo saluted Yuchi Shuo, who looked at Su Xipo and said, "Your arrival has given me a boost. Sir Su, please step aside and let's discuss how to handle this situation so that we can overcome this danger."
Su Xipo had learned hydraulic engineering very well in his early years, but he had lost the opportunity to put it into practice over the years. Now he was really given a mission in danger, and he was frightened by the water, and his mind went blank.
“This…this…”
Su Xipo hesitated, unable to come up with a clever and witty answer for a long time. Seeing Su Xipo's expression, Yuchi Shuo still maintained a respectful and humble expression. At this moment, Gu Feixue approached him, "Your Highness, he is here to provide support. Lord Su is undoubtedly a peerless talent, but in this situation, he is powerless. Let me introduce him to you."
Gu Feixue smiled enthusiastically.
Yuchi Shuo could only thank him and approach Gu Feixue.
Gu Feixue pointed at the disabled old man in front of her and said, "He is Amo Gong. He is the best in the Imperial Capital. Don't judge a person by his appearance."
"this……"
Yuchi Shuo never thought that Gu Feixue would ask this person to come and help with flood prevention, and he was puzzled for a moment.
Seeing the worry and suspicion on his face, Amo Gong also became arrogant, "Why? Your Highness also judges people by appearance?"
"It's not that I judge people by appearance. Fengchu was just like you back then, but he has real talent and knowledge. You..."
Seeing Yuchi Shuo being so disrespectful, Gu Feixue hurriedly prepared to go over and apologize, but A Mogong was about to leave.
"Your Highness," Gu Feixue saw the situation was at a standstill and stepped forward to say, "The old man said that the best way to control floods is not to block them, but to dredge them."
"Dredging?" This argument was quite new. Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo seemed to be lost in thought. Gu Feixue then said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, does that mean you don't believe him either?"
At this moment, a loud noise like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth was heard in the distance, and the shaky dam was in danger.
Seeing this, Amo Gong's face was filled with sorrow. "The poor people are about to be destroyed, but the superiors don't trust them. They are really carnivorous and lack foresight."
"Amo Gong, I have ordered you to control the flood. If you need anything, I will have someone send it to you."
Hearing this urgent task, Amo Gong was too lazy to say anything.
Then he turned his wheelchair closer to Gu Feixue.
"Xue'er, you give me orders here."
"good!"
Gu Feixue went through untold hardships and finally found a skilled craftsman like A Mogong, but she didn't expect that A Mogong's arrival caused a lot of criticism and doubts.
Although these were expected, Gu Feixue was still a little angry when Yuchi Shuo also had doubts.
This is not just doubting Amogong, it is actually doubting oneself.
At this moment, A Mogong took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. She took out a charcoal stick she made and started to draw on the paper. Soon a device was made.
Amo Gong pointed at the device and asked, "Do you understand?"
"You mean, change the position of these pieces of wood?"
Gu Feixue stared at it.
Originally, they placed the crossbeam on the dam and supported it with vertical wood, but the drawing given by Amo Gong at this time was to add another layer of vertical wood on the crossbeam, and then support the crossbeam with pillars.
"This is a double insurance policy. It can extend your lifespan by three days. For the next three days," he said, looking at the other side with a sharp gaze, as if they were an adversary. "Just listen to me. We need to build a dam here. I'll provide the blueprints."
Ah Mogong worked with ease and quickly drew the blueprint.
When Gu Feixue saw this, she realized that ordinary people would not be able to understand the master's work at all.
"This..." The knowledgeable Yuchi Shuo grabbed the blueprint and looked at it, but he was still confused. The content of the blueprint was strange. There were two rows of steep embankments below. If built like this, it would undoubtedly lengthen the span of the flood, but it would also increase the impact force to a certain extent.
"Xue'er, do you need to know the principle?"
This was no longer something Gu Feixue needed to know or not, she no longer understood it at all.
Yuchi Shuo next to him was also looking at the paper, but he couldn't see anything.
Seeing Gu Feixue and Yuchi Shuo discussing with Amo Gong, Zheng Yannian, Gu Lang, and Mrs. Gu also arrived. Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly Gu Lang smiled, "Oh my god, this is really a masterpiece. Xue'er, Your Highness, don't hesitate, get started immediately."
The imperial court has also issued an imperial decree, ordering people nearby to come and help.
Jiangzhou may seem like a small place, but it is a commercial empire. The emperor does not want the flood to swallow up Jiangzhou, as that would result in heavy losses.
Secondly, the Crown Prince is now working in Jiangzhou under an assumed name, and he also wants to see whether the Crown Prince is better or the Sixth Prince is more powerful.
The plan has been decided, and the emperor continues to issue orders.
Since the soldiers from the imperial capital could not reach Jiangzhou in time, they would conduct a local investigation. They would look for people from wherever there were people, and send people from wherever they could be used. In this way, people from all directions came.
It truly created a positive energy scene of "when one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid".
At this moment, Yang Dinggan's people are helping.
Soon, the lumberjacks brought the wood over, and people dismantled the wood according to Amo's request.
