Chapter 47


"Qing Xiao?"

When Ye Qingxiao was moved, he suddenly heard the third uncle's voice, and hurriedly looked at Wen Lan.

Wen Lan reacted quickly, and hid under the quilt as soon as she rolled, Ye Qingxiao also quickly got in, bending her knees to cover it up.Just finished, Ye Qian entered the account.

Ye Qian has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and his cheeks are red from the sun. He said: "I think that although the situation is stable now, I don't know what will happen in the future. I still have to continue to do this. Besides, I have to continue to expand." Accumulate soil and rocks to resist the waves."

Ye Qian also had experience in water control when he was an official in the local area, so when he came to Xianzhou, he ordered people to step up and tie up branches, stones, etc. to form embankments.If this is not the case, it will be dangerous when you make a small mouth later.At that time, it was very laborious and time-consuming to carry the soil, but the water potential could be analyzed by lowering the embankment, which was a temporary relief.

Ye Qingxiao knew that his uncle was teaching him intentionally, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Are you tired?" Seeing Ye Qingxiao sitting in the quilt, Ye Qian said with a slower tone, "If you are too tired, take a rest."

"It's okay, I'll just take a nap for a while, I can still bear it." Ye Qingxiao said, "Third Uncle should take a short rest."

"Alas..." Ye Qian nodded, "I went back to write a letter and fell asleep. I didn't bother to write a letter a few days ago. I don't know if the family is in a hurry."

As soon as Ye Qian left, Ye Qingxiao rolled down the quilt a little, and Wen Lan's head was exposed, she was leaning against Ye Qingxiao.

Ye Qingxiao blushed, "Cough..."

His eyes drifted away, and suddenly he thought of something, even if he stayed up late, he still needs to take a nap occasionally, since he is so big here, wouldn't it be...

Wen Lan crawled out of the quilt, "Bring a pen and paper!"

Ye Qingxiao was stunned, "Huh?"

Wen Lan pushed him a bit before he realized that he hurriedly turned out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and rubbed the ink for Wen Lan.

Wen Lan sat upright, thinking back with his eyes closed, and said: "When I was guarding the treasury, I read an old book. In the previous dynasty, Anlong's army broke the embankment. The water control officer at that time built a wooden dragon embankment. Conducting water is like a giant scorpion, and it is very effective."

"Oh?" Ye Qingxiao immediately understood the meaning, his eyes lit up, he didn't expect such a method, but it didn't spread far and was not widely used.

Wen Lan has a photographic memory, and when he recalls, he draws pictures with a pen.

Wooden dragons need to be tied into nine-story wooden rafts with round logs, and then hang the vertical logs, tie them with bamboo ropes, and place them on the bank to pick up water and brush sand, which is more effective than dikes.The wooden row is long and named dragon, also for Zhenhe.Although Wen Lan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she knows that the people will be more at ease knowing that the name is spread.

Wen Lan clearly drew the position and style of the embankment and the wooden dragon. It is not complicated. The craftsman has seen that as long as the wood is cut, it can be fastened quickly.She pondered for a while, and then said: "The water is a bit urgent, if the wooden dragon can't get down, I'm afraid I have to go to the city to get the anchor."

"Understood." Ye Qingxiao took the blueprint to Ye Qian, and because it was inconvenient to reveal that Wen Lan was here, he could only vaguely say that he suddenly remembered it.

Even if Ye Qian had doubts, he would not go into the details at this time, and ordered people to light a fire all night to make a wooden dragon.

Everyone from top to bottom heard that Master Tongsan was going to do a "wooden dragon" to suppress the river, they were excited, they felt quite mysterious, and they only hoped that it would be effective soon, so as to subdue the flood.

Among the capital.

"Brother, rumors have been spreading all over the place these days, and they have been repeated repeatedly. Could it be true what Xiaolan said..." Ma Yuanyuan's face was not very good-looking.

They all grew up in the Imperial City Secretary, and they were faintly surprised. When they saw the letter, they felt that Wen Lan's "guess" was not unreasonable, but just frightened.

Wang Yin glanced at him, "Be careful."

They were also taken aback when they saw Wen Lan's letter. Although it was written in coded language, every word and every word was shocking.

Ma Yuanyuan sighed, "Do you want to invite Your Majesty to live in the palace?"

"Your Majesty won't agree to it. These days, there are many people presenting strange people from the people for His Majesty to watch. Your Majesty is in high spirits." Wang Yin said, this matter is too shocking, and he dare not tell others, but if there is even the slightest difference, it will be ruined. disaster.If it is inconvenient for him to say anything else, then the time for His Majesty's Qingming has gradually decreased in the past two years.

Ma Yuanyuan said: "Some pawns in the department have been transferred away, but even if there are ghosts in the imperial guards in the city, there are also guards and imperial guards from other places in the mansion. Maybe it won't be..."

All the armies in the capital and all the ministers in the court flashed in my mind one by one.

Wang Yin thought for a long time before making a decision, "Go to the East Palace."

Ma Yuanyuan said in surprise: "Xiao Lan also said, don't let others know about this matter."

Wang Yin shook his head and said: "Xiaolan, you and I, we must not treat the prince as a child. Others don't know about this matter, but Donggong can know it. He is also the only one who can protect us if something happens."

Ma Yuanyuan lowered her head and thought for a long time, "Yes."

Xianzhou.

The sergeant tied up the wooden dragon overnight and put it aside to wait for the day to enter the water again. The Yellow River's husband and the river pawns each bundled bamboo chips and wheat straw, tied them on the wooden dragon's crossbar, and added scales to it.

When the morning sun rises, wooden dragons are carried and placed in the river.

Seeing the wooden dragon go deep into the water, the water force was brushed away by the dragon body and the dragon scales on it, slowing down visibly with the naked eye. They didn't know the underwater situation and the reason, they only knew that the wooden dragon really controlled the water force and cheered.

Ye Qian showed a sense of relief, this wooden dragon is indeed more effective than ordinary embankments.

"Okay, order people to make a few more and send them to other villages along the river, and we will continue to carry the earth to strengthen the embankment." Ye Qian ordered.

People who were very distressed and worried that the embankment would burst this year, now they all became motivated, with the wooden dragon protecting them, there was no fear.

Ye Qingxiao returned to the tent and happily told Wen Lan about it.

"It's good if it works." Wen Lan lowered his head and thought for a while, it's not easy to speak out to Ye Qingxiao.She thought that if it was completely stabilized here, she would go to other states and counties to have a look.

But seeing Ye Qingxiao's happy face, let's talk to him later.

……

At noon, Ye Qingxiao brought dry food to eat with Wen Lan.

Wen Lan gulped down the water, "There's nothing serious here, I'll just... go back."

Ye Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "It's also right, the people in the house will think too much about you when you're not at home all the time."

Although he couldn't hide his disappointment, he knew that it was impossible for Wen Lan to stay here all the time.

Wen Lan wanted to say something more, when suddenly someone shouted outside: "The embankment has burst——the embankment has burst—!"

Both of them stood up abruptly, and rushed out regardless of others. Wen Lan put on the veiled cap smoothly.

Seeing someone galloping towards them, they shouted, "Luhe Village and Shangmao Village have burst their embankments—the mouth has collapsed—"

Ye Qian rushed out and said angrily: "How could Luhe Village and Shangmao Village break the embankment!" He grabbed the collar of the river repair officer and cursed, "Didn't the wooden dragon be sent there? If there is no danger, how can the embankment burst!"

Xiuhe officer's eyes flickered, "Your Excellency, I don't even know about it!"

Ye Qian judged the case for a long time, and saw that his expression was wrong, but he didn't have time to judge carefully at this time, so he just shouted: "Come on, put him in custody!"

Officer Xiuhe was about to speak, but was tied up with a gag.

Someone below hurriedly asked: "Are you going to rush to the embankment now?"

"Go to the two villages first, if there are drifters, rescue them," Ye Qian said loudly, "Bring the horses, I'm going to borrow troops!"

If there are multiple breaches, 200 or [-] people here will not be enough, although this big breach is really inexplicable.

Wen Lan's face was gloomy by the side. After all, the Imperial City Secretary was only in the middle of the capital, and she couldn't reach him. She could keep an eye on this place, but she couldn't keep an eye on all the villages—or even all the counties. Wonderful.

When Ye Qian said that he wanted to borrow troops, Wen Lan knew that the breach of the embankment was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. No wonder it didn't appear in the dream.When she was in Beijing, she faintly felt something was wrong, and sent a letter to Wang Yin before leaving.

Ye Qian had already got on the horse, Wen Lan pulled Ye Qingxiao, "Let's go too!"

Ye Qingxiao was going to Luhe Village, but he had full trust in Wen Lan, so it was urgent, so he brought two horses without asking.

Following Ye Qian, the two rode their horses to the Forbidden Army barracks stationed in Xianzhou.

When he arrived in the army, Ye Qian got off his horse and begged to see the generals. The soldiers who came and went in the army all looked sideways at these embarrassed people.The Forbidden Army stationed in Xianzhou should have nearly ten thousand people.

"My official, Daming Mansion, made a general judgment and inspected the flood situation here. Now that Luhe Village and Shangmao Village have broken their embankments, and the number of soldiers in the river is insufficient, please ask the general to send troops to help." Ye Qian asked for something, and his attitude was very serious sincere.

The general of the imperial army said slowly: "Our army's Zhong Erlang still needs to practice, and the general judge can order the township soldiers to reinforce him."

This matter really has nothing to do with the imperial army, he is more willing to let Ye Qian go to the village soldiers than to let his own people take the risk to protect the embankment.

Ye Qian was very angry and said: "Drill? Now the people are in danger. If the breach is not blocked in time, the levee will be destroyed and the people in the city will be in danger! At that time, does the general really think he can get away with it?!"

The general of the Forbidden Army changed his expression, and said: "The Forbidden Army is only dispatched by the Privy Council, how can they act rashly without orders..."

Ye Qian didn't have the time to call for reinforcements normally, so he came here to call for reinforcements in person, and now he wants to beat this person up to let him know what an expedient measure is.But no matter what the advice is, it's a matter of the future, and right now, he can only bow his knees——

Wen Lan, who was dressed in a dark blue emergency suit, stepped forward a few steps and stood between the two of them.

Both the general and Ye Qian were stunned.

Ye Qian only thought that the man in the veiled hat was Ye Qingxiao's entourage. When he was anxious, he didn't care so much, even Ye Qingxiao didn't bother.It was a little strange to see this person suddenly stand up at this moment.

Under the hood, Wen Lan's face was as frosty.

——Zhao Li was forced to wait too long, and wanted to start an incident in advance.But apart from the imperial guards stationed in the central capital, there are also imperial guards in all the prefectures and counties of Daming Prefecture, not far from the capital.If there is any external force that can affect the layout of Beijing and China, it must be the garrison within the government.

He wanted to restrain the forbidden army in the area so that he could not immediately rush to help Beijing, so he did this action.Therefore, the embankment of Xianzhou must have been destroyed by others, most likely not only in Xianzhou, but also in other prefectures and counties.

Once in a dream, Zhao Lice rebelled against the imperial guards stationed in Beijing, but now Wen Lan has eliminated them in advance. Even if there are still chess pieces that have not been cleared—obviously, there are—there are not many manpower.

Zhao Li was certain that the forbidden troops in all states and counties would either be trapped by floods, or they would not dare to ignore the lives of the common people, even if they rushed to the capital, they would still be remnants.

That's right, Wen Lan can now stop Ye Qian and order these forbidden troops to enter the capital to defend the royal family. The number of troops stationed in Xianzhou is quite large, with nearly ten thousand troops. Usually, the troops stationed in prefectures and counties will not exceed ten thousand, and generally less than eight thousand.And defending the royal family is also the biggest duty of the imperial city soldiers.

However, not only can she not do that, she also needs to help Ye Qian dispatch the imperial army as soon as possible.

Wen Lan took off the veil——

"Yangbo?!" Seeing Wen Lan's face, Ye Qian's voice almost changed in astonishment.

Wen Lan didn't pay attention to it, she moved swiftly like lightning, grabbed the general's saber, and took out a bronze medal in the other hand, engraved with the number and position of the Imperial City Division, "Do you know this?"

Those who can only be identified by tattoos are ordinary soldiers, and Wen Lan is no longer an ordinary marriage officer.Because of her relationship with Wang Yin, she was also able to leave a bronze medal.

Knotted his tongue, "You, you are..."

Wen Lan motioned him to look at the sword in his hand, his tone was soft but full of frost and snow: "The river is in danger, if you just sit back and ignore it, you will die immediately."
