In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

Hanhan was sweating profusely. What if this young lady went to the Prime Minister and filed a serious complaint, saying that he had obstructed official business and insulted the Prime Minister's daughter?

His own father, who was the Commandant of the Guards, insisted on breaking his leg in front of Cao Cao.

He waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

"I was just joking with Brother Ding."

"Brother Ding is a renowned talent throughout the Han Dynasty, who doesn't know that? We're here to cheer him on and hopefully absorb some of his talent."

"This mud... no, this road is so straight! It's amazing! It's practically a work of art!"

"We're leaving right now! We're leaving right now!"

After saying that, the group of men turned their horses around as if they had seen a ghost and slunk away.

The flies were driven away.

Cao Qing turned around.

That domineering aura vanished instantly.

He chuckled.

She transformed into the demeanor of a wronged little girl.

"Why are you here?"

She looked at Ding Yi, who had a scruffy beard and was wearing a tattered rattan hat.

"If I don't come, who will back you up? You idiot, all you care about is fixing the road. I'll handle these biting dogs."

As Cao Qing spoke, he punched Ding Yi in the chest (but didn't dare to use force).

"I've been back for half a day, and when I went to the Prime Minister's residence to look for my father, he didn't even look for me. He's just playing in the mud here!"

"Is this mud prettier than me?"

Ding Yi felt a warmth in her heart.

He suffered for several months at the Ice Crystal Pavilion.

Dog food can be harmful to dogs.

Upon seeing his beloved Cao Qing, he wanted to hug her (he learned this from Zhao Yu).

But looking at his hands covered in mud, he awkwardly withdrew them.

"Qing'er, don't... get dirty."

"Isn't it because the Prime Minister is urging us so hard? This road leads to the face of the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, and also... the road to our future."

"Once the industrial zone is completed and the road is built to Xuchang, I will go to the Prime Minister in grand style to propose marriage."

Cao Qing burst into laughter through his tears:

"Smooth-talking, you've been corrupted by your brother-in-law!"

He took out a handkerchief and wiped Ding Yi's sweat.

"Is this road... really that important?"

"Of course, nothing in the whole world is more important than this."

"This is called cement. It's mud now, but it will be stone by tomorrow morning."

"But tonight is the most crucial. When this stuff isn't dry, it's most vulnerable to being stepped on by people or dogs."

"Once a footprint is left, it's ruined."

"Then... I'll stay with you tonight."

Cao Qing suddenly found it very interesting.

"what?"

"How can this be? The Prime Minister will be displeased, a man and a woman alone together..."

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay!"

Cao Qing rolled his eyes, put his hands on his hips, and reverted to his true self.

"Now I finally understand why Jie'er was so devoted to me before."

It's really exhilarating to watch your man accomplish great things.

"I'm going to be the security guard for the first cement road in Ye City!"

……

That night.

The streets were brightly lit.

To remind passersby.

Cao Qing really didn't leave.

She sat on a small stool, watching the foolish scholar use a trowel to smooth out the road surface bit by bit.

Watching him guard the road like a child, chasing away stray dogs and dispersing drunkards.

"Fool."

Cao Qing cursed under his breath.

But his eyes were full of tenderness.

She knew that Ding Yi was talented, but he had never achieved success because of his physical disability.

Zhao Yu gave him a chance.

And she wanted to give him a future.

……

The second morning.

Sunlight shines on the main road of Ye City.

That pool of grayish mud

It has become a solid.

The first model road in Yecheng has been paved.

The gates of the Prime Minister's residence opened.

We are preparing to go to Tongquetai.

I was stunned as soon as I stepped out the door.

Just as Ding Yi had said, a gray avenue that had never been seen before appeared at the entrance.

It cuts through the loess land and stretches straight into the distance.

"This...this is the cement road that Zhengli was talking about?"

Cao Cao walked over in surprise.

I tentatively stepped on it with my boot.

Hard! Harder than a bluestone slab!

Every five zhang (approximately 10 meters), a gap is left, making it a seamless whole!

"Prime Minister!"

Ding Yi (with dark circles under his eyes) and Cao Qing (looking somewhat sleepy) were standing side by side.

Although the two didn't hold hands, the atmosphere of fighting side by side was obvious even to a blind person.

"Greetings, Prime Minister (Father)!"

The two bowed in unison.

"I have successfully completed my mission; the road is now completely dry! Please, Prime Minister, test drive the vehicle!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You little rascal, you're not lying to me!"

"This cement is truly a divine substance!"

He looked at Ding Yi, his eyes now showing more appreciation.

"That's proper etiquette."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"You haven't slept these past two nights, have you?"

Ding Yi cupped his hands in greeting:

"To build roads for the Prime Minister and pave pathways for the people, this humble official finds no fatigue!"

"and……"

He secretly glanced at Cao Qing beside him.

"With the young lady supervising the work, I dare not slack off, nor do I dare to fix it crookedly."

Cao Cao was an extremely shrewd man.

Previously, Cao Pi would always whisper in his ear that Ding Yi had poor eyesight and was not worthy of marrying Qing'er.

They said it would bring shame to the Cao family.

But today.

Looking at this smooth road.

Then look at her own daughter's protective manner.

"good."

"Zhengli not only writes well, but he also does a great job on this project."

"What's so serious about a minor eye problem?"

"A clear mind makes for a smooth path."

"A hundred times better than those who have sharp eyes but crooked hearts!"

"From now on, I entrust the infrastructure of Ye City to you."

"Do a good job."

"Don't let Qing'er's good intentions go to waste."

As soon as those words were spoken...

This is equivalent to officially acknowledging this couple.

Cao Qing's face instantly turned red.

Ding Yi was even more excited.

What words could be more reliable than those spoken by the Prime Minister?

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"This humble official will certainly..."

"Alright, alright, stop with the fancy words."

Cao Cao mounted his horse.

"Let's go, Zhongkang."

"Let's go for a couple of laps on this new road."

"drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp and pleasant.

The Shadowless Horse galloped wildly on the cement road.

Ding Yi and Cao Qing were left standing there.

Ding Yi grinned foolishly and touched the safety helmet on his head.

"Ah Qing... does this mean the Prime Minister... has agreed?"

Cao Qing rolled her eyes at him.

What do you think?

"fool."

"Aren't you going back to wash up?"

"Covered in mud, stinks."

Although she complained about it.

But she still reached out and straightened his crooked little rattan hat.

Under the sunlight.

This scene became the most touching sight on the streets of Yecheng.

of course.

If we don't count Ding Yi's face covered in grime that he couldn't wash off.
