After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 660 Someone must stand up

Shen Xihe made a final decision, with reasons and evidence, and the situation was stronger than others. Xiao Changyan knew that not only did he have no position to refute, what's more, if he insisted on objecting, he would only end up under house arrest by Shen Xihe.

Within half a day, Xiao Huayong, as the crown prince, was possessed by the gods. God couldn't bear the suffering of the common people, so he deliberately used the crown prince's body to tell the method of water control, which just echoed the strange stone from the sky before, and the common people believed it to be true.

Therefore, when Tao Zhuanxian and Zhong Pingzhi proposed the method of diverting the flow into the sea, no one was worried or afraid. Under the series of rumors spread by Shen Xihe, they believed in it and looked forward to it.

Xiao Changqing dispatched manpower, Tao Zhuanxian and Zhong Pingzhi drew up the law for starting the construction, and the guards stationed there were also commanded by Shen Xihe. They not only had to supervise the construction of the people, but also tried their best to mobilize the materials needed for the construction from within the county.

The sons and daughters were assigned to start digging channels in batches in turn, and the girls boiled medicine and cooked food to ensure that the strength of labor in the heavy rain would not be eroded by the wind and cold.

Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong urged the imperial court to deliver the food, which required a substantial increase for the start of the project, and the first batch of food delivered earlier would be consumed in at most three days.

Xiao Huayong woke up the day after the group started work, what else is Xiao Changyan unclear?The so-called god-possession is just a play sung by the husband and wife together, the purpose is to successfully achieve the water control method of diverting the water into the sea.

In the entire county, those who were able to dig canals, including Tao Zhuanxian who was over fifty years old, all went in person. Xiao Changqing even set an example by wearing a coir raincoat and working with the common people, just like a farmer, digging in full swing.

Those who couldn't join were trying their best to play their roles. Together, everyone was united, and Xiao Changyan had to work with Xiao Changqing. Seeing such a scene where everyone worked hard but had no regrets, Xiao Changyan felt extremely complicated.

If this method can be achieved, Xiao Changyan deeply admires Shen Xihe in his heart. With such courage and intelligence, it's no wonder that she has the courage to take such a position.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of the backlash of the sea?" On this day, when he returned to the county office, Xiao Changyan finally saw Shen Xihe who came to supervise the speed and was concerned about the consumption of food, so he couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart.

Ever since he and Xiao Changqing personally took the lead in digging channels, Xiao Changyan has been busier than Jiu Futian's military training every day, and he has never seen Shen Xihe again.

Originally, Shen Xihe, who was not looking sideways and only wanted to meet Xiao Changyan with a nod of his head before passing by, paused: "His Royal Highness King Jing, do you have any other way to break the situation in front of you?"

Xiao Changyan was slightly taken aback. The situation in front of him referred to the increasingly serious water accumulation and the continuous heavy rain. Xiao Changyan shook his head honestly: "Nothing."

"Flood control is imminent. The method proposed by Zhonggong and Taogong is the only way, no matter whether it succeeds or not. This is our only chance. If the flood is not eliminated, this city will eventually become a city of water, and the people in the city will have no way to survive. , in that case, why not put all your eggs in one basket?" Shen Xihe asked back.

Xiao Changyan was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is not the case. People can move."

Xiao Changyan had planned for the worst. If Tao Zhuanxian and the others really had no safe solution and the heavy rain continued to invade mercilessly, he planned to report to His Majesty and relocate the people in the city.

If they can sweep out a way for Xiao Huayong and others to enter the city, they can also create a way to relocate the people.

"Water and fire are ruthless, and can spread for thousands of miles. The people of Wendeng County can move, but if Wendeng County is swallowed up, how does His Highness know that the flood will not affect the next county? Really, His Highness intends to abandon another county?" Shen Xi He raised his chin slightly, with a serious face and light eyes, and looked at Xiao Changyan, "I heard that His Highness uses soldiers like a god. Could it be that His Highness will abandon the city and flee on the battlefield?"

"This cannot be compared." Xiao Changyan retorted.

On the battlefield, all he faces are vicious enemies who violate our territory. His responsibility is to protect his home country and people. Even if it is the last soldier in the battle, he will not back down in the slightest.

Now facing natural disasters, the people are the first priority in his heart.

"In my opinion, there is no difference." Shen Xihe said calmly, "It's just that His Highness cannot bear the responsibility of failure. Confronting the enemy, His Highness will not surrender, bow his head, or admit defeat. It is also because of His Highness." I can't afford the consequences of running away."

Xiao Changyan couldn't help clenching his fists. He found that Shen Xihe was a person who never spoke harshly, but was vulgar and ruthless. Her voice was as clear and clear as the spring water of a mountain stream washing through a shallow stream. But it is the most embarrassing.

Xiao Changyan didn't want to admit Shen Xihe's words, but he couldn't refute them. The latter could tell Shen Xihe righteously that as the commander of the army, his blood and soul would not allow him to be a deserter.But for the former, he had to think that what Shen Xihe said was not wrong.

Yes, he can’t bear the price of drowning all the people in the city because of him if this method fails. He can’t imagine that he will be cast aside by the ages after his death, and he will be left behind in the history books because of such stupidity and impulsiveness. A stroke of warning.

"Someone has to stand up, right?" Since you don't dare, let me do it, "Everyone is happy if it succeeds, and if it fails, it's just an inevitable ending. Why do you hesitate to move forward because of a little reputation like floating clouds? "

After the words were finished, Shen Xihe watched the front and left under the umbrella held by Jasper.

Xiao Changyan watched her go away, it was cloudy and rainy, her hair swayed lightly, the moisture was dense, and the aura went away.

Shen Xihe's words were still echoing in his heart, someone must stand up.

Everyone understands this, but even if they understand it, they stand up without hesitation. Very few people can do it.

Xiao Changyan's expression was a bit complicated. He had also experienced Shen Xihe's skills. He was able to implement a matter that was likely to cause public anger to the point where everyone was convinced. With her intelligence, he believed her It is absolutely possible to force a person to stand up, but she does not necessarily need to bear it herself.

But she didn't. In his eyes, Shen Xihe might not be such an upright person, but in front of righteousness, he didn't shirk at all. Xiao Changyan had never seen such a girl.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood why his prince and brother were so obsessed with her.

"Are you back?" Xiao Huayong stood at the door where it could barely shelter from the rain, looking forward to Shen Xihe.

It made Shen Xihe think that before they got married, every time she went to the East Palace, he would wait for him like this.

His eyes fell, and his clothes were wet. It was rainwater splashing and splashing on the clothes. I don't know how long he stood there before it soaked such a large piece.

"Ginger milk tea, try it." Xiao Huayong handed the cup of warm tea to Shen Xihe.
