At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 216 Here I go to Quantai to summon the old department 【Subscription】

"Sir, where is your suicide note?"

In the dark, the scholar noticed that Kong Xingyue hadn't written yet, so he couldn't help asking.

At this time, Kong Xingyue was in tears after hearing fourteen stories.

He is in his thirties this year, an iron-blooded man who spent the first half of his life on the battlefield, always thinking that his final destination might be a shrouded corpse in horse leather.

But I didn't expect that I would be buried deep in the ground.

He wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, took off a piece of his clothes, and wrote his last suicide note.

"I used to follow the lord around. Two years ago, I saw the lord recite a broken poem. Today, I will use it as my last pen!"

Kong Xingyue's voice was hoarse and weak, but he still put his fingers in his mouth and bit them hard.

Using blood as the final stroke, slowly wrote two lines of poems on the clothes.

"Let's go to Quantai to summon the old department, and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners!"

Kong Xingyue chanted while writing.

The sound was not loud, but it made the 14 people around tremble violently.

This is the lifelong obsession of the manager...

Although the general manager is in charge of the military engineering team and has made countless contributions to Wanmin City, in fact, what he really wants to do is to take a knife and leap a horse to fight in the battlefield.

This line of poetry shows his obsession even more.

Even if he is dead, on Huangquan Road, he must call his old troops and continue to fight!
Hearing this, the members of the military engineering team could not help but lower their heads.

They felt that it was really wronged for a person like the general manager to stay in the military engineering team and die underground.

However, immediately afterward, they heard Kong Xingyue's voice: "It's a long way to go to Quantai, all of you, would you like to join me, with a shovel in hand, to dig that Yellow Spring and kill that Yama?"

Everyone's heart trembled again.

in the dark.

They kept nodding.

"I would like to go to the underworld with the manager!"

"I would like to go to the underworld with the manager!"

"I would like to go to the underworld with the manager!"

……

Promising one after another, a group of old men burst into tears at this moment.

But the atmosphere is completely different.

The atmosphere was originally sad, but because of Kong Xingyue's poem, it became extremely tragic.

The fear of death was gradually dispelled.

At this moment, the fifteen-year-old man was full of arrogance, and the expression on every face was no longer sadness and fear, but resignation.

"Death is death! We wait for a man to be born between heaven and earth, so what are we afraid of?!"

"That's right! The suicide note has been written. The lord is kind and will definitely treat our family members generously. Going to Quantai now has no regrets!"

"If you don't regret entering the military industry in this life, if you go to Quantai, your subordinates will follow the general manager through life and death, dig up that yellow spring, and kill that Yama!"

……

A person gritted his teeth and spoke sadly.

In the darkness, they seemed to see a ray of light.

It's like life has come to an end.

But there was rarely a trace of fear on everyone's faces.

Fourteen people surrounded Kong Xingyue, each of them held up a suicide note, with an indomitable and tragic expression on their faces.

Kong Xingyue also saw that beam of light, which appeared so dazzling in the dark.

"Is it time?"

Kong Xingyue gave a wry smile. He didn't sleep or eat for five days and nights, and couldn't hold on any longer.

He fell headfirst into the water.

The final poem written in his hand also fell and floated in the water.

"Found it! They are here!"

"Come quickly!"

Immediately afterwards, the light grew bigger and bigger, and a hole was torn open.

The rescuers, after five days, finally rescued them without causing a second landslide.

……

Outside Wanmin City.

At the tunnel entrance.

Xu Mu, Fang Xuanling, Yang Guang, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Cui Ji, He Chou, Chao Yuanfang, Sun Simiao and others...

All are waiting.

It's been five days.

Finally found the person.

It's not just them, the outside of Wanmin City at this time, the inner three floors and the outer three floors, have been completely besieged.

The people of Wanmin City gathered at least tens of thousands of people here.

They stared at the tunnel entrance from a distance, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Everyone is holding their breath, waiting for...the return of the hero!

Trapped underground for five days, without food, and soaked in water, all these things spread among the people.

Xu Mu didn't organize them to come, they gathered here on their own initiative.

Everyone is carrying a bamboo basket with all kinds of food in their hands.

What they thought was that the 15 people trapped inside hadn't eaten for five days, so they must be very hungry.

Time passed slowly.

They have been waiting at the tunnel entrance since early in the morning, and it is now noon.

Under the scorching sun, all the people were sweating profusely, but they didn't realize it.

No one left halfway.

"I'm coming!"

"Rescue!"

"Boss Kong!!"

……

The people suddenly cheered, causing a commotion.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Xu Mu watched the fifteen unconscious people being carried out one by one. He quickly looked at Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao, and said in a deep voice, "Care quickly! If one person dies, I will treat you as ask!"

Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao had been waiting in full force, looked at each other, bowed to Xu Mu and said, "They are both heroes of Wanmin City, and the two subordinates will definitely use up all they have learned throughout their lives, and they will not let Yincao take one away!"

After receiving the assurance from the two, Xu Mu was relieved.

Fifteen people were quickly put on stretchers and rushed to the medical office.

In the medical department, fifteen high-level wards have been cleared out for their diagnosis and treatment.

And when the group of people saw that fifteen people were rescued, they cheered and hurriedly followed all the way, wanting to follow up with the medical office.

But it was stopped by the heavily guarded Tiefutu.

They could only keep all the food and wait for the results outside the medical office.

The common people remembered Enyi, and the members of the military engineering team almost died underground in order to dig a well for them.

They can only use this method to express their gratitude.

……

Outside Wanmin City, at the tunnel entrance.

The rest all dispersed.

Only Xu Mu, Fang Xuanling, and Yang Guang were left.

They were staring at fifteen bloody garments.

Every piece of text above is a story.

Even Yang Guang's heart was as hard as iron, but after reading it, he couldn't help being moved.

When a bird is about to die, its song also mourns, let alone a human being?
Especially after reading Kong Xingyue's last and incomplete poem, Yang Guang felt his blood surge, and he couldn't help saying: "I'm going to Quantai to summon the old department, so obsessed, why doesn't my lord allow him to go to the battlefield again?"

Xu Mu couldn't help nodding when he heard that.

He didn't expect Kong Xingyue to have such a big obsession with going to the battlefield.

"After Xingyue recovers, he should be allowed to step down from the position of chief military officer." Xu Mu thought in his heart.

Then, he slowly glanced at the scorching sun in the sky.

These days, every day is exposed to the sun.

With the scorching sun in the sky, the water source of Wanmin City is getting less and less.

At this time, Fang Xuanling reported: "Now the wells available for digging are almost exhausted, and Wanmin City will soon face a crisis of water shortage."

Xu Mu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the tunnel entrance.

For this matter, he is not very worried.

Kong Xingyue has found a large underground water source.

Next, it is only necessary to open the underground river and dig shafts where the underground river flows, and then water can be drawn.

"Next, the remaining military engineering teams will go all out to dig through the dark river!"

Xu Mu took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice.

……

Inside the medical office.

The whole hospital was in a hurry.

All highly skilled doctors started consultations and provided a treatment plan for 15 people.

Fortunately, Kong Xingyue and others are in good physical condition, and none of them are in danger of life.

Most of them are unconscious due to physical and mental exhaustion and unbearable hunger.

Also, there was five consecutive days of soaking, which caused some puffiness in the body.

These diseases may lead to death, but under the full-scale treatment of Sun Simiao and Chao Yuanfang, everyone's condition has stabilized.

The good news soon spread to the medical department and became known to the common people.

The people cheered and applauded.

then……

They all turned around and came to the tunnel entrance outside the city gate, ready to help dig the well together.

Of course, this was stopped by the guarding troops.

Not everyone can work underground.

They want to help, but they can't.

In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the people, Xu Mu stood up and stopped him personally: "The underground river has been dug, and within two days, there will be no water shortage in Wanmin City, and the farmland can also be irrigated normally!"

"Go home and wait patiently for news."

Under Xu Mu's prestige, the people had no choice but to retreat.

Then wait for the news obediently at home.

……

Two days later.

In the mountains outside Wanmin City.

A commoner found that the originally dry creek at the bottom of the mountain was flowing quietly again.

Although the amount of water is not large, it gave them a surprise.

They all had an incredible idea in their hearts.

Could it be... what the lord said is really about to come true?
Locust plague without locust, drought without drought?
At this time, Fang Xuanling personally took the little official into the mountains and informed all the people.

"Outside Wanmin City, a hundred wells have been excavated for drinking water, please bring them yourself!"

As soon as the news came out.

All the people are boiling.

Hundreds of thousands of people came to the outside of Wanmin City in black.

They were exposed to the scorching sun, and some people even had chapped lips due to lack of water.

A person moved his head and looked in the direction of the hundred wells.

In front of each well, there are small officials and troops guarding to prevent looting.

On the top of each well, there are three big characters written: "Konggong Well!"

That's right, Xu Mu specially named it for Kong Xingyue in order to reward him.

The words are concise and clear at a glance. Once the literate people publicize it, all the people will understand that this is the well water created for them by Kong Xingyue, the chief of the military engineering team.

They don't understand the principle of Karez, but they know that all of this was brought to them by Kong Xingyue and others who worked hard underground and risked their lives.

"One by one, bring your own utensils, line up to get water, don't panic, the Konggong well is made by the master's wonderful method, and it will never dry up!"

Small officials spread the word among the common people and maintained order.

And when the first commoner brought out a bucket of clear, full, and extremely cool water from under the shaft with a bucket...

All the people are boiling again!
In the well, there is really water!
