Chapter 255 I Swear To You Alone
"The official asked His Majesty for an imperial decree, and set off early. He didn't take an official post boat along the way, and kept traveling day and night. Then he arrived in Hangzhou ahead of schedule. When he learned that the eldest princess was assassinated and the city of Hangzhou was under martial law, he knew that the disaster in Xin'an County was serious. He rushed over immediately."

As soon as Wen Yiqian arrived in Xin'an County, the heavy rain poured down, and he hurried to the county government office, only then did he learn that the eldest princess was on the embankment.

Jiang Fuguang said: "You came at the right time, the water level of the dam keeps rising, if it continues like this, it might not be able to stop it, do you have any other way?"

Wen Yiqian's face was serious: "At that time, we will send people to form a human wall and jump into the water to block the top of the embankment."

Jiang Fuguang's breath was stagnant, the river was so fast, and the embankment was blocked by the river, it was not that she had never thought about it, but who was not raised by his parents?
"Let's have a look again!" She didn't answer, but said, "I discussed with the Ministry of Industry in Beijing Ligu before, how to divide the flow, where to divide it, and where to divide it. For the detailed plan, you should go to the dam for field investigation first."

Wen Yiqian nodded.

Ji Ruxuan came over with a bowl of hot soup: "Let's eat something."

"I can't eat it." Jiang Fuguang shook his head, but took the hot soup in his hand, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, his mouth was full of greasy taste.

She desperately swallowed the broth down her throat, and then continued to swallow the soup pouring from her throat into her mouth.

Ji Ruxuan hurried back to the shed and poured a bowl of hot water over.

After drinking a bowl of hot water, Jiang Fuguang felt better: "They didn't have to bear these things originally, but some people destroy embankments to harm others and expand the disaster for their own selfish desires. I will not let them go."

"Never!"

"Boom—" A thunderstorm sounded overhead.

Jiang Fuguang turned up the volume: "I swear."

"Okay," Ji Ruxuan looked at her and said softly, "I'll help you."

"Princess, it's not good," Yue Ting hurried over, "The water flow is so fast that it can't be blocked anymore. As soon as the sandbags were thrown down, they were washed away by the water. What should we do now?"

"What time is it?" Jiang Fuguang asked hoarsely.

Yue Ting was stunned for a moment: "It's only two quarters of an hour before Maoshi."

"Then hold on for another quarter of an hour," Jiang Fuguang looked up at the sky, with the heavy rain washing down on her face, "In another quarter of an hour, it will be dawn."

Yue Ting hastily delivered the order.

Jiang Fuguang asked softly: "Tell me, can the dam be blocked before dawn?"

Ji Ruxuan couldn't answer, he could feel that Jiang Fuguang's heart was crying, but her face was always calm, her petite figure stood motionless on the embankment, becoming the pillar and benchmark of everyone on the embankment, whenever someone supports her When they couldn't help but wanted to give up, when they looked back at the eldest princess standing with them in the heavy rain, they were full of strength again, roaring and continuing to carry the bag.

Wen Yiqian hurried over: "The eldest princess can't stop it anymore, please give an order!"

"hold on."

"We can't wait any longer, the water level has reached the last safety line."

"They can still hold on."

"Princess!"

"Mao time, wait until Mao time."

Wen Yiqian had no choice but to nod.

Time passed bit by bit, and the water level had crossed the last safety line of the dam. Jiang Fuguang called Yue Ting: "Arrange the garrison to form a human wall, launch water to block the embankment, and top the dam."

"Yes!" Yue Ting's heart was heavy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, 100 people had already been organized to meet the eldest princess.

Holding an umbrella, Jiang Fuguang walked forward slowly with a lamp in his hand. The dim light shone on everyone's face one by one, and asked their names one by one, as if he wanted to keep each one of them firmly in his heart. .

"My eldest princess, my name is Wu Xing, from Xin'an County."

"There is a small black mole in the lower corner of your left eye."

"Wang Daming, from Xin'an County."

"Well, you have a scar on your face."

"..."

"That's enough," Yue Ting roared, "Princess, let them go into the water. They are soldiers, and the duty of soldiers is to protect their families and the people. Now is the time for them to protect their families and the people."

Jiang Fuguang remembered the voices and appearances of the 100 people in his mind: "If something happens, I will sympathize with your family and I will swear to you."

At this time, Wang Dagui rushed over with dozens of strong villagers.

Qin Jiangzhou was out of breath: "Princess, the villagers volunteered to go into the water with the soldiers when they learned that they were going to go into the water to block the embankment."

"Princess, let us go down."

"We are not afraid of death."

"Yes, not afraid of death."

"..."

There were chattering voices, and Jiang Fuguang raised the lantern. Under the dim shadow of the lamp, the fearless and enthusiastic faces of the villagers were reflected.

Her eyes were hot: "Go back, they won't be able to block you, so it's your turn."

"Princess..." The villagers were unwilling to go back.

"Go back," Jiang Fuguang said with a heavy tone, "Are you no one in the imperial court?"

The villagers were startled, and then went back in disappointment.

Jiang Fuguang looked solemnly at the soldiers lined up neatly in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Soldiers, I'm counting on you."

A hundred warriors took off their heavy armor, were shirtless, tied thick hemp ropes around their waists, jumped into the river with a plop, blocked the mouth of the dam, and pushed hard against the sand wall built by sandbags. .

Looking at this scene, Jiang Fuguang couldn't help moistening her eyes. She sang in a sonorous voice: "The vast expanse of sea and river, kiss my home and our country, billowing dust and thick soil, lingering in my acupuncture point! The universe is bright, the blood of a man is high, his ambition is soaring, the sky is vast, Bless me in the Southern Dynasty, protect my homeland..."

This is a war song. When the eldest princess started, the soldiers sang along with her. Their voices were thick and mighty, and they were full of breath on the surging river.

Although the villagers can't sing, they will also join in.

June [-]th, Chen time.

The day finally dawned.

It rained all night and finally stopped.

But the tide did not recede, and the water level was still rising. The soldiers who entered the water were exhausted, and one soldier was washed away by the water flowing over the sand wall.

"Quickly pull the rope, save people!" Jiang Fuguang yelled.

The soldiers holding the rope on the shore pulled the rope desperately and finally saved the man.

One has two.

There are two and there are three.

Soldiers were constantly washed away by the current and rescued, but there were also two people who were not rescued and were ruthlessly swallowed by the river. Jiang Fuguang could only watch helplessly, his head fainted, and he almost fell to the ground.

She bit the tip of her tongue hard, stood stiffly, and kept reminding herself that she couldn't fall, couldn't fall.

"Substitution!" Jiang Fuguang's voice was hoarse.

Another group of soldiers was carried into the river. The soldiers on the bank gritted their teeth and pulled the exhausted soldiers ashore. Immediately, someone stepped forward to carry them to the camp and fed them hot soup.

At this time, Wen Yiqian brought Huang Jingzhou, the supervisor of disaster relief, over to meet the eldest princess.
