Chapter 423 The Widow's Dream Broken
"The old patriarch's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he didn't want to be a slave to the tiger, sending the warriors of the clan to Qianzhou to die. It's just that the world has been in chaos for the past two years, and even if you want to use mountain medicinal materials to go down the mountain to exchange for food, there is nowhere to go."

"Besides, the south of me is not only flooded in Jingzhou, but other places also have much more rain than in previous years. Whether it is flood or drought, it is a bitter day for the people who are hungry. The Wutou people are also desperate, so they took the risk... ..."

Listening to Duan Yi's words, Mo Yu couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe his eyes. At some point, he was already in tears.

He sniffed, how good would it be if the king was always so reasonable?

Earlier it was said that he was blind, so he should ask the doctor to take care of his eyesight, but now he said that his eyes are as bright as a torch.

He doesn't want soldiers, he just wants courtesy!

"The king's words speak to the heart of this old man." Mo Yu also looked at the long iron lock.Mr. Guan, who followed Duan Yi, was standing by the bridge, taking out a strange ruler, gesturing something there.

He also invited people to look at the iron chain before, and wanted to build a bridge.

But the cliff is so steep that if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. Let alone building bridges, those craftsmen would not dare to hang iron rings to measure it.

Duan Yi didn't lie to him, she even brought over the bridge-builders.

"There are many mountain people in central Guizhou, and the Eighteen Clans of Wutou Jiuzhai are the most gathered. Let me tell you, I, Mo Yu, have also been the leader of the mountain people. We have served gods in the mountains for generations, and our ancestors have been buried in the mountains for generations."

"It's very different from the ordinary people. The life in this mountain is poor, and we can barely maintain it. It's not that we don't know the benefits outside. But we can't go against the will of the gods and move to the outside of the mountain, so I'm afraid it's not a waste of the king's life. Very kind."

Mo Yu said, his expression was a little dazed, "Your Majesty is the first person who is willing to give us a household registration, give us a field, and settle us down."

The Wutou tribe also married a girl to go to Qianzhou before, but no official was willing to take such a big effort to take this step.As long as they don't cause trouble and don't cause trouble, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, pretending that there are no people like them in this world.

Duan Yi nodded, "Then build the bridge, and then farm the fields. We have good rice seeds in Xiangyang, and after this year's autumn harvest, we will know how much the harvest will increase. If you are in a hurry, I will send someone to bring the rice seeds over next spring."

"If you have concerns, you can wait until every household in Xiangyang City has planted them, and then plant them according to the situation."

"This year's harvest is not good. I can support you with a batch of grain and salt, at least to prevent people from starving to death. After the peace in central Guizhou, you will have hands and feet, and you will have a road to transport it."

"Of course I won't give away rice and food for free to support idlers. With such sincerity, might the Wutou people withdraw their troops from Qianzhou and live in peace for generations?"

With tears in his eyes, Mo Yu bowed deeply, "I'll ask someone to send a letter to Miao Zhao to withdraw the troops from Qianzhou."

As he spoke, he asked with some hesitation, "Why is your lord doing this? Even if we send troops to help Wu Sui, he is not as good as your lord..."

Duan Yi looked at Mo Yu deeply, "I said earlier that you are the people of Great Chu, and I am the King of Chu."

"Old patriarch, please remember that I, Duan Yi, did not walk the bridge for nothing, and rice grains are not for nothing. In the future, all the people of our Chu Kingdom will be able to eat, wear, warm and be safe."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked down the mountain, "Even if we have already made a gentleman's appointment, we will not go up the mountain to beg for meat. Mr. Guan will lead a team of people to repair the bridge here. Cui Zigeng, isn't he going Is Qianzhou cleaning up the door?"

"Why do you want me to carry you there in a sedan chair?"

Cui Zigeng, who was silent at the side, saw the gun being thrown at his head, nodded at the old patriarch Mo Yu, and walked towards Duan Yixing, "It's okay to lift it, I think it's more prestigious to lift a big sedan chair eight times." .”

Duan Yi rolled her eyes, "It's a beautiful idea. You can't be lifted by eight palanquins. No matter how you look for it, you need 16 people to carry the coffin."

Cui Zi followed Duan Yi down the mountain step by step, and there was no trouble at all, "The coffin is also good, and you can lie on it. With a lid, you won't be afraid even if it rains! Just remember to make it spacious. Ah Yi is sleepy at night. You can come in and take a rest."

Duan Yi looked Cui Zigeng up and down, only to realize that his face was pale and his lips were black and blue.

She frowned, and her mouth was half-hearted, "The water and soil in this capital really support people! King Cui used to be as thick as a city wall, but now he is so raised that he is lying flat on the ground, and a tower is erected on his pillow. Soaring into the sky."

Cui Zi laughed and followed up...

The two of you talked one after the other, every word and every word was full of open guns and dark arrows, sometimes the voice was a little louder, and it still echoed in the mountain.

Mo Yu, who was standing halfway up the mountain, looked at the backs of the two of them, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

His mind is full of what Duan Yi said about eating well, wearing warmth, being safe and worry-free...

Isn't this what they prayed to the gods day and night?

"My old lady's stewed meat, you haven't eaten it yet. If you knew it, you wouldn't ask her to stew it, and save it for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Mo Yu murmured, then shook his head ecstatically, "Build bridges! Yes! Build bridges! Those who build bridges will eat!"

Seeing that she didn't climb very high, but the winding stairs down the mountain seemed endless, Duan Yi frowned even more when she heard Cui Zigeng's breathing beside her.

"Are you actually the head of a wax gun? You went to beat up a northern barbarian, and you were seriously injured? Why is Mr. Yan willing to come here, not afraid that I will kill you while you are sick? After all, I want to be a widow."

Cui Zi listened to Duan Yi's words, and without stopping, he took out a pill from his bosom, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

"Mr. Yan sighed every day in the palace. He always felt that Ah Yi treated me better than I treated Ah Yi. After thinking about it, he came up with a trick. If you can't bear the child, you can't keep the wolf! He just kicked me out...Ah Yike fell for a trick?"

Duan Yi snorted, and put her hand on Cui Zigeng's wrist. After feeling the warm touch, she loosened her hand and wanted to shake his wrist away, but Cui Zigeng waited for this opportunity, where? Ken let it go and grabbed Duan Yi's wrist.

Duan Yi raised her gun subconsciously, and the two actually started fighting on the narrow mountain road.

Su Yun, who was standing on the edge of the cliff helping old man Guan to measure, raised his head to look at the noise, and immediately became excited, "Hurry up, hurry up! Let's go up the mountain, and cheer for Duan Yi! Watch her beat Brother Cui violently!"

Mr. Guan looked up and was frightened. He grabbed Su Yun by the collar, "What are you doing so fast? Your Majesty wants you to help me build the bridge!"

Su Yun was anxious to see Duan Yi, and struggled a few times, "Wei Meng! Wei Meng can help you repair the bridge!"

Mr. Guan shook his head, "That's fine! I'm speaking my hometown dialect, but he might not understand it! You kid, don't even think about it. With General Wei's body, the bridge is going to be repaired, I'm afraid it's not It's going to crush him."

"Don't be a married couple pushing hands, what are you doing! Don't be lazy, baby!"

Su Yun jumped up and down, thinking that Mr. Guan was right, and seeing Duan Yi and Cui Zi separated further, they stopped fighting, and sighed a few times.

"I really missed a good time! You don't understand! If I rushed up, pretended to be careless, and beat Brother Cui to death! We, Duan Yi, would be widows!"
