After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Baishui dragged the boatman out from under the boat. He wanted to drag the boatman ashore, but the boatman was better at swimming, but he helped Baishui whose legs were entangled in water plants, otherwise he would have to toss underwater for a while.

"Can't go up." The boatman frowned, "Come with me."

When they came out from the downstream of the boat, the man in black was nowhere to be seen, but the fire was coming from a distance. I don't know if it was an official on the dock or a pursuer.

"There is a hole here." The boatman said softly, "When the tide is not high, you can hide in it."

Bai Shui was worried about Luo Xiyao, but selfishly, he was even more worried about Helan Linzhang.

The two masters are both smart people, he is not smart enough, so he has to listen to the wise people.

The master asked him to protect the princess, but even with his life, he brought the princess out.

The princess said that she would not die, and asked him to find the master first, give the master medicine, and then wait for her to come to them.

Bai Shui squeezed the porcelain bottle smaller than the snuff bottle, he couldn't let the princess down, he must find the master.

"Here." The boatman swam along the river with white water for a while, and there was indeed a half-person-high hole behind a piece of aquatic plants, "Come in!"

It was obviously not the first time for the boatman to come here. He familiarly took out a fire pocket from the corner and lit an old oil lamp. "Don't worry, there are water plants outside, so the fire will not be reflected by the river."

"Thank you." Bai Shui climbed up, touched the water on his face, and shivered a few times.

The entrance of this cave is not big, and it can accommodate six or seven strong men. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave is higher, and the river cannot flow in.

The boatman dragged out some straw, "You look bad, lie on it to keep warm!"

"Sorry, we are the ones who have troubled you." Bai Shui said, "It's just that the old man doesn't look like an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't know about this place." He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Here...it should be a bridge that was dug secretly when the bridge was being built. Came out specially for hiding."

"That's right." The boatman said, "During the construction of bridges in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, civilians and prisoners were used. Here, they were dug out specially for the brothers at that time to hide."

Bai Shui carefully looked at the boatman's face, his expression darkened, and said, "Ordinary prisoners will never be arranged to build bridges. Who are you?"

The boatman twisted the water on the bun and said calmly: "The stonemason Zhao Pengyue."

Bai Shui's pupils shrank slightly, "Who is Zhao Sancai?"

"It's my master, and it's also my father." Zhao Pengyue said, "I didn't expect someone to remember my father, and he's still from Mobei."

Bai Shui stood up while supporting the wet wall, and solemnly saluted Zhao Pengyue, "Bai Shui, the guard of the Seven Kings of Mobei, met Mr. Zhao. In order to relieve the flood in Hongxi Gorge, Mr. Zhao ordered people to blow up the bridge, saving thousands of people on both sides of the strait. At that time, my lord was sent to Dongqi as a hostage, passed by Hongxi Gorge, and was trapped in the town by heavy rain, if Mr. Zhao Sancai hadn’t been righteous, my lord and all of us would have died in that monstrous flood.”

"So what? You were convicted by the court, and the Zhao family was killed and shut... It's gone, it's gone! I didn't expect you, a person from Mobei, to remember so much."

"It's not Mr. Zhao's fault, nor is it the Zhao family's fault. It was the corrupt officials of the Eastern Qi Dynasty who took money for building the embankment and cut corners. They escaped from death, and the prince arranged for someone to investigate. The adult man on the edge of the embankment that was washed away casually grabbed it. If it can be broken, how can it stop the flood? In order to cover up its ugliness, the court can only make the Zhao family take the blame. The prince said, and anyone with a discerning eye knows who is right or wrong. Even if the court does not allow it, the people near Hongxi Gorge also secretly built it for Mr. Zhao. The incense in the ancestral hall is comparable to the Dragon King Temple." Bai Shui said.

"Death is like a lamp going out. Incense is useless." Zhao Pengyue said indifferently, "Maybe the imperial court didn't want to kill them all, but those officials who were greedy for money and guilty will not let us go. I guard here day and night, I just want to take a look for my father and my senior brothers..."

What are you looking at?Let's see when the river will swell and submerge the stone bridge again, and the monstrous flood will sweep towards the Hongxi Gorge, breaking down the banks and dams that have been repaired every year and cracked every year?Or how do the people on both sides of the strait recuperate and live a peaceful life from generation to generation?

Zhao Pengyue didn't go on, maybe he didn't know?
He understands his father, and if it were him, he might do the same thing. Even with a heart of stone, it is difficult to remain calm in the face of the people who are struggling to survive in the water... But this does not mean that he has no regrets, no regrets.

Bai Shui was very smart, and said: "Mr. heard Cao Kuan's words and guessed our identities. Presumably, Mr. has been paying attention to the court's movements. Although my prince was born in Mobei, he also stayed in Dongqi for many years, and the princess is even more We were born in the Luo family in Pingcheng of Eastern Qi. We are all aimed at the imperial court of Eastern Qi, but we have no malicious intentions towards the people of Eastern Qi. Even when we were hunting, when we received disasters in Yujiang and other places, the prince came immediately Check, robbed those corrupt officials of their money to help the common people."

"The prince and the princess were supposed to be on the way back to Mobei, but they knew that the capital city of Dongqi was in chaos, and they were worried that the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court would not pay attention to the disaster relief, so they left the convoy, thinking that they could help one person, but it was a pity that Dongqi couldn't catch up. She, this is...Mr. Zhao has been on the Anning River for many years, please help me."

Zhao Pengyue asked: "Do you want me to help you save the princess?"

"No." Bai Shui shook his head, "I want to ask Mr. Zhao to help me save the people of Eastern Qi."

He told the truth about what happened in the Jinyun Mountains, "Those captured people are innocent, but who is the person who opened the iron ore to refine the armor in the middle of the mountain? The third prince, Bai Yanxin, who was chasing after Xi Daying, and the second prince, Bai Yanwen, who was in ambush. If Wang Yewen hadn’t bought time for the princess, neither the princess nor I would have been in Mr.’s boat. Mr. was able to guess our identities, presumably because the government passed the The head of the village ordered not to let the big fish out of the boat, nor to let the doctor use the healing herbs. Our people and those poor miners have nowhere to escape. If we want to survive, we can only jump off the cliff and escape along the water. I don’t know where the mountain is. I don’t know what kind of water it is, but when we think about the water in the Jinyun Mountains, we can’t escape the Anning River and Hongxi Gorge.”

Stonemason Zhao's family is not a nameless existence among craftsmen. They build bridges, build cities, and build mausoleums...they are never without them. Who knows how many secrets he holds in his hands?
The only blame is to blame those corrupt officials in Dongqi for not killing them all.

It can also be said that God has eyes and gave Zhao a way out.

"Nearly two thousand miners?" Zhao Pengyue asked with a dark face.

Bai Shui nodded, "Yes. It's just that when we opened the stone gate and came out, the archers from the West Day Camp were waiting outside. Even though the prince asked me to lead the archers away to solve the problem, the miners were locked in the mountain without seeing the sun. And digging mines and blacksmithing day and night, those who can really run to the cliff and jump off to survive... I don’t know how many people there are.”

As he spoke, Bai Shui carefully took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, and took out several densely written papers from it, "Here is the miner's name and hometown. My lord promised them, but he can't take their people back. Will bring news of them back too."
