Chapter 169 The Bridge Has a Problem
Li Yu dodged and hid behind the tree, listening to the conversation between the two with his ears up.

"Okay, master, if you can't stop Li Jing's plan to support Jiangbei this time, you and I will be killed."

"Yes, I have already made arrangements. If nothing happens, I will leave first."

Li Yu was surprised, it was someone who wanted to make a fuss about disaster relief food to frame Li Jing.

Calculation flashed in his eyes, at this moment the sixth prince came to his side and patted his shoulder lightly.

"Eighth brother, why are you here?"

Li Yu hurriedly covered the sixth prince's mouth, for fear of being heard by the people in the rockery, Li Yu took the sixth prince back to the East Palace where he was.

"Eighth brother, what happened, you are so cautious?"

The sixth prince asked in a deep voice, Li Yu had a good relationship with the sixth prince, and even allowed the sixth prince not to respectfully address him as prince, nor to salute him when they met each other, just call him eighth brother.

It's just because their backgrounds are not the same, and they live in a difficult life in the harem. He is very envious of the sixth prince, who can go out and travel freely.

Li Yu also has his own influence, his identity is destined to bind him in the deep palace, just for self-protection.

"Brother Six, I just heard someone talking in the rockery. I'm afraid someone will sabotage Brother Six's plan to transport grain to Jiangbei. I heard that they are going to start at Qingfengdu."

The prince took out the map, analyzed Li Jing's footsteps, and calculated carefully.

"It is estimated that they will arrive at Qingfengdu in two days." The prince's eyes were full of anxiety, he was worried that if so much food was robbed, it would be the common people who would end up going out of the warehouse and suffering.

"Sixth brother, although I am the prince, I absolutely cannot ignore the safety of the people. We must find a way now so that the fourth brother can smoothly transport the grain to Jiangbei."

The sixth prince nodded in agreement. He had already guessed that someone would jump out to stop Li Jing when he knew that Li Jing would personally escort the food away.

"You stay in the palace, I'm going to chase the fourth brother." The sixth prince looked at the prince solemnly, "Since the father chose you, you have to shoulder this responsibility. Don't worry about this matter. You have angered your father."

The sixth prince just heard the news that Li Yu approached the emperor to try to persuade the emperor to depose him as a prince, but was scolded back. He just wanted to come to comfort the prince, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The sixth prince greeted Concubine Shu and left the capital.

He hurried to chase after him. He was not only worried about food problems, but also worried that Li Jing would be tricked.

Every step they take seems to be stepping on the edge of a knife, and if they are not careful, they will hurt themselves completely.

What's more, Li Jing's leg injury has not yet healed, if someone takes this opportunity to hurt him, what can be done.

The sixth prince exhausted two horses one after another, and finally caught up with Li Jing's convoy.

And Li Jing just arrived at Qingfengdu. Xingchuan had checked the bridge leading to the opposite bank, and after confirming that there was no problem, Li Jing ordered to cross the river.

Qingfengdu is the only way to Jiangbei. After passing this bridge, it is only about a day away from Jiangbei.

Li Jing knew that the journey was too smooth, and it was a bit weird, so he was very cautious before crossing the bridge. After seeing that there was no problem in Xingchuan's inspection, he was about to cross the bridge when the sixth prince's slightly hoarse stop sound came from behind him.

"Fourth brother, don't cross, there is a problem with the bridge."

Seeing him coming, Li Jing winked at Xingchuan, and Xingchuan stopped the convoy.

The sixth prince rode over and looked at Li Jing panting.

"Fourth brother, eighth brother accidentally heard that someone is going to tamper with this bridge to prevent you from transporting grain to Jiangbei. I heard that I rushed here, but luckily I came in time."

Li Jing looked at the black and blue beard on the Sixth Prince's chin. When had he ever been so careless about his image? Obviously, a fast horse came all night, just to stop him.

Li Jing frowned, obviously Xing Chuan checked it just now, but seeing that the sixth prince didn't seem to be lying, he asked his staff to check it again.

"Fourth brother, let me go, I have seen a lot of new things in my travels outside, maybe I can see the clue."

The sixth prince had contact with the heirs of the Mohist school, and heard many strange things from them. Some objects seemed complete, but because of the lack of a wedge, they became a mess of wooden blocks
.

"Sixth brother, be careful." Li Jing warned in a deep voice. The river is very fast, and many people die here every year. Li Jing asked his subordinates to help him get out of the carriage and came to the river to watch.

Cui Yuexi woke up in a daze, the turbulence of the past few days made her a little overwhelmed, she fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, she didn't see Li Jing, she hurriedly opened the curtain to check, and saw the back of Li Jing standing by the river.

The wind lifted his cloak, showing a bit of a knight-errant's valiant and heroic demeanor.

"What happened?" She asked the coachman Lao Yan, who told her what had happened, Cui Yuexi got off the car and came to Li Jing's side, and looked at the sixth prince and Xingchuan together with him.

The sixth prince checked very carefully, and when he checked one place, his eyes became darker.

Xingchuan saw his doubts and asked.

"Sixth prince, but there is a problem here?" To Xingchuan, there are only some cracks here, which are harmless. After all, the bridge has been around for more than ten years, and it is very normal for the wood to have such a situation.

After the sixth prince carefully confirmed the middle meeting, according to the method that the friend of the Mo family said before, put a wedge and a wooden stick on it, and then continued to check. There are different hidden dangers in a bridge that is only a hundred feet long.

This is exactly what the Sixth Prince and Li Yu said, there are indeed people who want to stop Li Jing's actions.

After the sixth prince mended the bridge, he returned to Li Jing, and it was already dark.

"Fourth brother, I only see these few mistakes. As for whether there are still hidden dangers, I'm not sure. How about this, one carriage after another, even if there is a problem with the bridge, we will not lose too much. "

Li Jing nodded, and then ordered the carriage to pass.

If someone moved Qingfengdu's bridge, it was definitely not the only trick. He was worried that someone would come to rob the food.

The carriage crossed the bridge without any risk. Li Jing and the sixth prince looked at the group of people who just got on the bridge, and the two brothers looked at each other.

"Xingchuan, destroy the bridge."

Li Jing ordered in a deep voice, and a group of subordinates flew out, and the sixth prince gave instructions.

"Xingchuan, there is a wedge there, if you pull it out, the bridge will naturally collapse."

Xing Chuan flew over and slapped the wedge with his palm. The wedge was bounced out by his internal force, and he flew to the shore with his strength.

As the wedge flew out, the intact bridge collapsed, and the man in black who got on the bridge had no time to go back, fell into the water and was washed away by the current.

Anger flashed in Li Jing's eyes. In the year of natural disasters, there are still people committing crimes, which is simply frenzied.
