Chapter 182: Draining the lake, Governor Lu fainted from tears
Prefect Lu nodded, a little helpless.
"The little maid arranged by her humble position not only discovered Xiang Ying's attitude, but even the prince's separation was like an old monk entering samadhi."
The little maid went to bring water to Xiangli, and according to the instructions of Prefect Lu, she said the same words to Xiangying again to Xiangli.
Unexpectedly, Xiangli just sat quietly on the couch without saying a word.
The little maid was unsure of his attitude and reminded him several times.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"Don't make any noise," Xiangli said in a calm and gentle tone, but with a hint of alienation, "I'm basking in the sun."
When Prefect Lu taught the lesson to the Sixth Prince exactly as it was, it was visible to the naked eye that the Sixth Prince's face turned livid.
"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, you also know Jie Chen's identity. Although the Emperor never admits it publicly, but... privately, the Emperor often inquires about the people below. After all, he is also a His Highness..."
Governor Lu could not withstand the oppression of the Sixth Prince, so he could only obey his orders.
But as an official, he was sandwiched between two princes, which was very difficult to handle.
If the emperor suddenly blamed him one day and the sixth prince was fine, he would definitely bear the responsibility.
Unexpectedly, his persuasion aroused the dissatisfaction of the sixth prince.
"Your Highness does not need your guidance when doing things. What's more, how can Xie Chen be considered my brother?"
Seeing his attitude, Prefect Lu didn't dare to say anything anymore.
At night.
Xiangying checked the drone and saw that it had been charged, so he controlled the drone and flew out.
As before, I first gave food to Xiang Li and Xiang Rongrong.
Finally, she let the drone fly directly to the sixth prince's camp.
She said harsh words today, this sixth prince must be holding back some evil moves.
As expected, the drone followed a soldier into the camp, and Xiangying saw through the screen that the sixth prince and three people were sitting together, discussing how to deal with her.
Xiangying narrowed her eyes.
What do you want her to hear?
The person next to the Sixth Prince should be a military advisor.
He first talked about the hidden dangers of leaving Xiangying behind from three aspects.
The easiest way is to kill her. Don't worry about whether the jade seal is a jade seal or not, and just assign the dirty name of killing Xiang Ying to Jie Chen.
But he was slapped in the face by the sixth prince.
The military advisor covered his face, not knowing why.
The sixth prince's eyes were filled with gloomy eyes: "Idiot! Your Highness also wants the jade seal, and he doesn't just want Jie Chen's life!"
"According to legend, whoever masters this jade seal can rule the world, but Xiangying is not threatened by His Highness at all now. Even if she is beaten to death, what will happen?"
The others suggested: "If we don't use torture on her and make her suffer deeply, she will naturally reveal the whereabouts of the jade seal."
The Sixth Prince glanced at him: "Do you want His Highness to make this matter bigger so that Father will know that I am also doing whatever it takes to deal with Yuxi?"
The other party immediately lowered his head and said in fear: "I'm humble and stupid. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Finally, the Sixth Prince thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Having prepared a good meal tomorrow, His Highness decided to meet the eldest princess in person. She has been holding her back for so many days, and she must be in need of an outlet."
The rest of the people shouted that the Sixth Prince was wise.
The military advisor said: "I heard that Xiangying was very licentious when she was in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Once she sees the wise and powerful Sixth Highness, she will definitely fall in love with him."
People around him all echoed: "That's natural. Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, has a beautiful tree in the wind and comes from a noble family. No woman would not want to find a powerful man to pamper her when she is down and out."
The sixth prince unfolded his folding fan, shook it and smiled: "I remember that there is half a lake in Lu Hong's mansion, so I asked him to set up a small boat on it. When the time comes, the beautiful scenery will be beautiful, and Xiang Ying will have to follow it even if he doesn't."
The military advisor applauded: "What a wonderful plan. Once Your Highness comes up with this plan, and let Xie Chen see Xiang Ying flattering you, the two of them will naturally have a rift. Kill two birds with one stone. Your Highness is worthy of you."
Xiangying held the carrot meatballs that had just been fried and looked at the people on the screen, singing along to each other.
Is this a blow? Are you really satisfied with talking to the Sixth Prince?
Do they think that others are fools like them? Xiangying’s fists clenched loudly.
If she doesn't give the Sixth Prince some pain tomorrow, she won't be Xiangying!
Thinking of this, she controlled the drone and flew away from the main tent, heading straight to the camp where the sixth prince stored food.
During the day, I heard that the Sixth Prince borrowed official grain from Lu Hong, the prefect.
This grain was originally stored in the government's granary, and it was planned to deliver it all to the people affected by drought in a few days.
However, now it has been taken by the Sixth Prince in advance.
Xiangying doesn't steal things from the common people, but if this thing gets into the hands of the Sixth Prince, then she will decide!
The drone avoided the patrolling guards outside, got into the grain camp, and made a big harvest!
After finishing this, Xiangying let the drone fly back.
Taking advantage of the darkness, most people in the prefect's mansion were asleep.
She just built a tube.
"You still want to go boating on the lake with me, right? I'll drain the water and see how you swim!"
The drone descended slowly, stretched out the tube, and connected the two ends. The other end was placed by Xiangying on the screen of the cartoon villain in his own space.
She pressed the machine and pumping began automatically.
Half an hour passed.
The entire lake was drained into a small river with clear bottom.
But in the world of cartoon villains, it rained heavily.
They regard it as a miracle.
After all, in a desert area like Shacheng, rain is not the norm, and heavy rain that lasts for half an hour is even rarer!
The people in Shacheng quickly held water basins and took to the streets to catch the rain.
The children rolled excitedly in the rain cement.
Suddenly, a fish fell on the people's faces.
They were surprised——
"Why are there fish in the rain?"
"There is also a crab, it fell on my head!"
"It was given by the gods! Thank you gods! Kowtow!"
For a moment, everyone knelt down in unison and thanked Xiangying.
General Zhongyong stood in the courtyard with his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky with emotion.
"Great God Wang Ying is really a good god."
At this moment, the stationed patrolmen came running quickly.
"Report! General, there is a group of men in black in front of us. They are quickly approaching us. There are quite a few of them, about a thousand!"
"What?" General Zhongyong immediately changed his expression and asked people to beat the war drum, "Stand ready!"
I don't know if the person coming here is an enemy or a friend. Now that they have so much supplies in Shacheng, there are many people outside who want to rob and loot.
General Weiyong excitedly picked up the double axe: "Great, it's time to practice some training!"
Xiangying didn't know what happened there. She only knew that she slept until dawn.
But I heard the commotion and noise outside.
Taoxue had been lying on the window, listening for a long time.
Xiangying yawned and sat up. After washing, she called Taoxue to bring the children over for breakfast.
Taoxue came over with a snicker.
"Eldest Princess, I want to tell you a happy news. The lake in the Prefecture's mansion was drained by some god overnight. People outside were on their backs. I heard that Prefect Lu fainted three times from crying!"
"There is a drought now, but there is still such a big lake in his mansion. It was originally intended to be a backup for emergencies and to save lives, but now only a shallow river beach is left."
My work and rest schedule is messed up again. I feel so energetic in the middle of the night that I feel like I’m in a tropical rain forest. I can’t wake up during the day, so I’ll post the second update later. My new goal this month: adjust my work and rest schedule, and go to bed at 11 or 8 o’clock. Starting...
