Chapter 224: Mo Neng
A layer of vertical wood was added to the horizontal beam, and in an instant the dam was given an indestructible coat.
Like armor.
At the beginning, everyone was worried that Gu Feixue brought a very old and disabled person, so who wouldn’t be whispering?
But it's strange that this person only gave a suggestion, but this suggestion has made the endangered dam much stronger. The dam that was hit by the flood just now was shaky, but now there is no movement at all.
Seeing this, everyone sighed.
"Xue'er, you really have a keen eye for treasures."
Zheng Yannian patted Gu Feixue's shoulder approvingly.
In fact, Gu Feixue herself didn't expect him to be so powerful.
The joy of helping others brought a smile to her lips. "Master, you're wrong. Xue'er didn't contribute anything. The real hero is the senior. Ah Mo Gongben is a direct disciple of the Mo family. He's been living a carefree life for many years. I had to visit him three times before I finally invited him here."
"Come to think of it," Duke Zheng sighed, "I'm truly blind. When I first saw A Mo Gong, I thought he was a fraud. But Master thought, how could our Xue'er be so unreliable? So I've been observing carefully. Once this is done, Master will have a good chat with Mr. A Mo Gong."
"That's good."
Gu Feixue has agreed to it on behalf of Amogong.
Amogong was busy over there, so Gu Feixue handed the supervision task over to her father.
Gu Lang was born into a family of ministers and was well versed in deploying troops. As for logistics, Gu Feixue asked her mother for advice.
They were initially exiled to Jiangzhou. Everything here was both a nightmare and very familiar to Mrs. Gu. She never complained about anything and was busy preparing food.
Those young and middle-aged men have retreated one by one.
The lady moved among the crowd.
The group of people were so tired that they sat on the ground.
"Eat, eat, don't be polite, eat quickly."
The lady's mouth was often filled with laughter. When Gu Feixue saw her mother bringing food over, she was deeply moved.
"Mother."
Although Mrs. Gu seems weak, she actually possesses a different kind of strength. She never complains about anything, even though her life is miserable.
Her perfect personality and talents were also passed on to Gu Feixue and Gu Tingchuan, and they both cared about others' concerns.
"Eat quickly." In fact, Mrs. Gu still had a lot to say to Gu Feixue, but she was too busy at the moment. Gu Feixue carried the load and went far away, and everyone ate happily.
Gu Feixue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Despite all the hardships and dangers she had encountered before, including being plotted against by her peers and assassinated, Gu Feixue had always stood tall and never cried. But now, she was completely moved by this scene of unity.
At this moment, Yuchi Shuo brought food over.
But Gu Feixue refused to eat it. She rejected her kindness in a somewhat cold manner.
"I never thought you would be like this. You hesitated for a moment and everyone lost their ambition. I told you not to judge people by appearances, Your Highness. But what about you? You saw that Senior Amogong was disabled and concluded that he was inferior to us healthy people."
Hearing this, Yuchi Shuo wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"My fault."
Yuchi Shuo regretted it deeply, and he knew that this incident would erode the intimacy between them.
Gu Feixue went to eat.
After a while, Yang Dinggan approached her.
"Miss Gu." Yang Dinggan was a man who planned before acting. At this moment, Gu Feixue saw that Yang Dinggan seemed to have something to say, and she felt a little anxious. Now was the time to use people, so would this guy quit and leave?
"What?" Gu Feixue was lost in thought and a little confused.
"Miss, this is what happened. We used extraordinary means to raise funds before, and I got nine hundred taels of silver. Now we need to hire people and buy tools, equipment, and steel. I am willing to donate all this silver."
Gu Feixue was overjoyed.
"Brother Yang, I want to thank you on behalf of the people. I never thought you would be so aware."
"Hey, what's the point of being aware or not? I've been committing crimes for years and have become a big troublemaker in the neighborhood. Now I'm risking my life to repay them. I guess the people don't like me. I have a wish."
"Oh, Brother Yang, just go ahead and say it. As long as I can satisfy you, how could I possibly refuse?"
It wasn't because Gu Feixue was afraid that Yang Dinggan would run away when she needed him that she threw this sweet cannon at him. On the contrary, whenever Yang Dinggan had difficulties, she, Gu Feixue, would do her best to help him.
The two looked at each other.
"I……"
Yang Dinggan looked into the distance.
Gu Feixue was puzzled and urged, "Brother Yang, please tell me what you mean. Are you planning to hide it from everyone? If you really don't want to tell me, I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now."
Gu Feixue pretended to leave.
Yang Dinggan watched Feixue prepare to leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xue'er, my wish is that now that the court is in need of personnel, my people and I will charge into battle without any hesitation. But after the matter is accomplished, I hope you will forgive the past, after all, we have contributed manpower and effort."
"No problem. I thought it was something else. Actually, I sent a pigeon to the Censorate half a month ago. I'm sure the Emperor has already reviewed the letter, so don't worry."
After hearing this, Yang Dinggan felt relieved.
He added, "I hope they have enough food and clothing. Not only will they not harm the poor people in the future, they will also help them. As for me..."
Yang Dinggan pointed at himself, his eyes suddenly brightening with eagerness. "I'm planning to join the army. In fact, General Zheng Yannian is my idol. I'm willing to use all my life's learning to contribute to the imperial court."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue's eyebrows danced with joy.
"This is all good news. Brother Yang, don't hold a grudge against me. You've returned as a prodigal son, and everyone is eager to accept you. Okay, I'll pass on your donation and your wishes to His Highness."
"I'm very grateful." As he spoke, Yang Dinggan almost knelt down.
Gu Feixue didn't dare to let Yang Dinggan really kneel down in front of her and hurriedly tried to help him.
After a while, Gu Feixue saw another group of people coming.
The one leading the group shouted from a distance.
"Boss, boss, we are here." Gu Feixue felt the voice was familiar, she turned around and found that the people coming were Gu Sang and Gu Da. These two had insisted on investigating some mystery of their life experience before. Gu Feixue was willing to let them chase her, but she had no idea that they had to go to the grassland.
"Why you guys?"
Gu Feixue was very happy and smiled slightly with her eyes squinted.
Gu Sang also smiled and said proudly, "We heard that people were needed to build a dam nearby, so we came here because we had nothing to do."
Gu Sang is still as optimistic and confident as before.
