Poison concubine enchanting

Chapter 306
On this day, the door of Old Man Liu's house, which had been closed for three days, finally opened, and a young man walked out from inside.Holding a hoe in his hand, his steps were still hesitant, but his eyes were extraordinarily firm. The old man Liu followed closely behind, walking towards the camp where Mo Xuan and the others were located one after the other with the young man.

When Mo Xuan saw that some people finally took the initiative to come over, he couldn't help but feel happy, but he still said calmly, "Old man, what do you need from me?"

The old man Liu and the young man immediately knelt down, "My lord, you are the Avalokitesvara who saves the suffering. I have seen it these days. You are different from other officials from the court. You really want to help us." Build dikes and control floods."

Mo Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, "If you have something to say, you can talk it over. I came here to control the flood. Naturally, I hope that this year's flood season will be safe for the people!"

Old man Liu nodded again and again, "My lord, don't you know that you still need people to build the dam?"

Mo Xuan lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, "Old man, to be honest, before I came here, I thought that the common people should be proactive about building dams. After all, this is to protect our own homeland, but this road When I came, I found that things might not be so simple at all. In many villages, there were only old, weak, sick and disabled people left, and none of the young men had disappeared. I found out after inquiring with the villagers. It turns out that someone used the name of the imperial court to issue a compulsory recruitment order, which made the people leave their homes and leave their homes!"

Old man Liu wiped the corners of his eyes, "My lord, you are right. In fact, as the people who have lived here for generations, how many people want to stay away from their hometown? But there is no way if you don't leave! You can't have the whole family live here. Here? Harnessing the waters, originally the floods are fiercer than the tigers, but now the court is fiercer than the tigers."

"This is our fault, don't worry, the old man, since I'm here, I will never let this happen!"

Old man Liu was deeply moved by Mo Xuan's words, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, my lord, give me two days, and I will definitely help you find some young and middle-aged people. We have experience in building river embankments, and it is better than adults working so hard. It didn't work out that well!"

Mo Xuan was overjoyed, and thanked old man Liu: "Then I will thank the old man first!"

As soon as old man Liu left, Dongfang Shuo was puzzled and said, "Sir, since we have so many garrisons to build the embankment, why do we need to recruit civilians?"

Mo Xuan laughed and said, "Firstly, these commoners are more experienced than the garrison who don't understand anything. Second, Shuo Er, how many garrisons do you think there are in Jiangnan, and how many embankments need to be built? We can rely on these Garrison troops, but the flood season does not wait for anyone, if the embankment cannot be built before the flood season, then the flood season will come, and the people will suffer in the end!"

Dongfang Shuo was thoughtful, and after careful consideration, he felt that what Mo Xuan said was extremely reasonable.

"Suo'er, you don't need to think too much. Your main purpose of coming to Jiangnan this time is to see more, remember more, and remember what you see, hear and think in your mind, and make it a part of your life. This is experience and growth! "

Dongfang Shuo nodded again and again, "Thank you for your teaching, sir."

Two days later, the old man Liu rushed over with many young men. Although some of them seemed reluctant, when they saw that the prince Mo Xuan was taking the lead in building the embankment , All the unhappiness disappeared.

With the participation of the villagers, the construction of the dam became smoother!
Even Zhao Zheng and the others, who were dissatisfied with Mo Xuan at the beginning, had to admire his methods. He was able to buy people's hearts like this without knowing it. This Prince Mo really has two brushes!
But God did not favor them for too long, because the flood season is coming soon!
That night, all the people were resting in their tents, when suddenly they heard the soldiers watching the night shouting loudly, "The flood is coming!"

With the sound of urgent gongs and drums, everyone got up quickly, and Mo Xuan also got up immediately. In addition, he had been resting directly in his clothes these few days, so his movements were naturally much faster than others.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Mo Xuan saw the anxious old man Liu, "My lord, what should I do, the Yanwangkou will be completed in a little while, now that the flood comes, it will be a failure!"

Mo Xuan comforted him and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will find a way to deal with this matter!"

"Come on! Follow me to the embankment!"

When Mo Xuan gave an order, several soldiers who had been waiting rushed over. These men were strong and tall, and they were very suitable candidates. They carried the sandbags under Mo Xuan's order, Headed towards Yama's mouth.

Just at this time, a thunderstorm exploded in the sky, and it began to rain heavily.

Mo Xuan furrowed his brows tightly, his heart skipped a beat, this is terrible, once it rains, the water level will rise, and then the situation will only get worse, it seems that the mouth of Hades must be blocked as soon as possible!

Mo Xuan thought for a while, and asked someone to prepare a few tall wooden stakes and nail them next to Yama's mouth, and then filled the gaps between these stakes with sandbags.

After making a decision, Mo Xuan quickly arranged for people to start nailing wooden stakes. Fortunately, because the water was not too strong, although the embankment was a little unstable, it seemed that there was no damage.

That night, Mo Xuan and the soldiers had been busy all night, those Jiangnan officials had no choice but to walk through the rain with Mo Xuan out of face, although they had many complaints in their hearts, none of them were willing to be caught pigtails.

With the concerted efforts of the army and the people, at dawn, the embankment of Yanwangkou was finally reinforced, and the people burst into cheers. The old man Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "My lord, it has been so many years, the old man I It is all thanks to you, my lord, that I can still see the repair of Yama’s mouth!”

Mo Xuan was also very happy in his heart, "Don't say that, old man, this is not due to me alone, it is due to the people themselves, as long as you put in the effort, you will reap the rewards!"

"My lord, you must not be polite! Without you, I don't know when this ghostly place will be built! But look at the present, with the help of the soldiers you brought, and the supply of food and drink, They even gave out silver taels to everyone who built the embankment, my lord, you are a very good person in the world!"

It was rare for Mo Xuan to blush. He was a little embarrassed to be praised in such a face-to-face.

Could it be that Dongfang Shuo, who saw this side of Mo Xuan, also found it extremely funny, and that Mr. Mo, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, also had times of shyness?

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted loudly: "No, the princess has fallen into the water!"

Mo Xuan's face darkened when he heard the words, and he didn't have time to think about anything, and rushed towards the noisy place.

"Help!"

Dongfang Qinger was thumping in the water, and several guards had already jumped down, but because of the rapid current, they couldn't catch Dongfang Qinger. Seeing that Dongfang Qinger was about to be washed away with the current, everyone on the shore Anxious.

Zhao Zheng and the others were almost terrified. This is the emperor's favorite princess. If something happened to them, they might not be able to keep their heads even if they had ten heads!
Mo Xuan walked over with an indifferent face, and flew towards the water, like a brisk swallow, with a forceful arm, he directly grabbed Dongfang Qing'er by the collar, pulling her from the water out.

The crowd burst into applause, Dongfang Qing'er choked up a few sips of water, and lay down on the ground in a state of embarrassment, with a somewhat slumped look on her delicate face.

Mo Xuan squatted beside her with a calm expression, "Are you all right? Do you want to call the doctor over?"

"Wow……"

Dongfang Qing'er suddenly threw herself into Mo Xuan's arms, hugged his neck, and burst into tears, "Mo Xuan, I thought I would never see you again!"

Mo Xuan's face darkened, facing the teasing eyes around him, he felt extremely depressed!

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward, "Sister, are you alright?"

Mo Xuan pulled Dongfang Qing'er away, got up and stood aside, and said to Dongfang Shuo, "Take her back!"

Dongfang Qing'er was a little embarrassed, but in front of so many people, she couldn't say anything more, not to mention, she didn't want others to watch this embarrassment!

When everyone returned to the Zhao Mansion, Dongfang Qing'er changed her clothes and came back to Mo Xuan's room. She had a lot to say to him.

The door of Mo Xuan's room was open, and when Dongfang Qing'er entered, he was drinking tea. He was sitting there in a romantic and suave manner.

Dongfang Qing'er couldn't move her gaze away for a long time, she was deeply fascinated by this man, she walked in slowly, sat down beside Mo Xuan, "Mo Xuan, I think we need to have a good talk!"

Mo Xuan frowned, "Your Highness, I don't think we have anything to talk about!"

"But Bengong likes you, don't you think it's most suitable for us to be together? That Shen Hua is not worthy of you at all!"

Mo Xuan's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at Dongfang Qing'er like frost, and his tone became indifferent, "Your Highness, I don't know who gave you this illusion, but I just want to tell you that my wife is the most suitable for me. Yes! I don’t need to explain this to an outsider!”

"Then I am willing to marry you as a side concubine, as long as I can be with you, I don't care about status, I don't care about anything!"

Mo Xuan frowned tightly, and he looked at Dongfang Qing'er in shock. At first, he thought she was just confused for a while, but now it seems that maybe, he really still doesn't understand this woman.

Mo Xuan straightened his expression, "I have always regarded you as my younger sister, and there is absolutely no possibility between you and me!"

"why?"

Dongfang Qinger's eyes widened unwillingly. She thought she was outstanding in appearance and character, but she couldn't catch Mo Xuan's eyes.

Mo Xuan sighed, it seems that Dongfang Qing'er should be told about this, otherwise she will just stubbornly go further and further down this wrong road!

So Mo Xuan said: "After I go back this time, I will explain to you!"

Dongfang Qing'er was puzzled, but since she could get Mo Xuan's guarantee, she didn't care about anything else. He would explain to herself after he said it, and he would definitely explain it!

This time, the water control went very smoothly. Under Mo Xuan's supervision, none of the officials dared to cheat, at least on the surface, and all the relief money this time was in Mo Xuan's hands. Every bit of it fell into place, making Zhao Zheng and the others itch with hatred. If they still can't see that Prince Mo is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger by this time, their official positions for so many years will be in vain!
But if they knew it, they knew that there was nothing they could do about it. The emperor's order above was suppressing it, and the common people below were urging them eagerly, which made it impossible for these corrupt officials to take advantage of their loopholes.
