Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 175
Not only that, without the support of other ships, his ship's ability to withstand wind and waves was greatly reduced, and if there were a few more huge waves, the ship would be smashed to pieces.

At that time, not only will he die, but the original plan to plug the leak with the ship as the carrier will also fall short.

"Your uncle, why do I have any grudge against you? You insist on killing me?" Li Canghai scolded angrily.

The housekeeper's eyes were fierce, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to know the reason, go ask Lord Yan!"

The power in the butler's hand suddenly increased by three points, and Li Canghai could feel that the dagger had already touched his skin.

"We can't let the plan to block the breach fall by the wayside!" Li Canghai thought in his heart.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, his hands suddenly loosened, his body suddenly swayed, and at the same time, he stretched out two fingers with his right hand and quickly poked at the butler's eyes.

The dagger slammed into Li Canghai's body, and at the same time, Li Canghai's two fingers directly poked the housekeeper's eyes, and the two let out a cry of pain at the same time.

Li Canghai scolded angrily: "If you want my life, then trade it with yours!"

With a roar of anger, Li Canghai grabbed the housekeeper tightly, with a grim expression on his face, he dragged the housekeeper and jumped under the boat.

With a plop, the two fell into the torrent at the same time.

The people who escaped from the small boat were shocked when they witnessed all this.

After a while, someone came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and save your lord!"

But those light boats could not withstand the impact of the big waves at all, and coupled with the violent impact of the flood, the light boats were directly pushed far away by the flood.

Everyone paddled the canoe desperately, but the current was so strong that they had to let the wind and waves push the canoe away.

On the shore, Zuo Hongji, Chang Feng and others looked forward to it.

Seeing the light boat approaching, Chang Feng hurriedly staggered to meet it.He hurriedly asked, "Where is your lord?"

Everyone on the light boat covered their faces and sighed, and they turned their heads to look at the breach.

Using the lightning in the sky, Chang Feng and others discovered that there was still a large ship shaking violently at the breach, while the sunken ships on both sides were tilted.

Chang Feng's heart sank, secretly thinking that it was not good.

According to Li Canghai's previous conjecture, if this happens, it means that the plan to plug the breach may not succeed.

Chang Feng hesitated, whether to follow Li Canghai's previous arrangement and let everyone quickly evacuate the Dragon King Temple.

At this moment, a new situation appeared at the breach.

With the help of lightning, everyone discovered that the big ship in the middle of the entire leak-stopping breach was slowly sinking.

"My lord! It must be my lord!" Chang Feng suddenly thought that the big ship must have been scuttled by Li Canghai, so he shouted excitedly.

Zuo Hongji wiped away the rainwater, and shouted anxiously: "My lord is still alive, let's save him!"

Everyone stared nervously at the ship. The ship was not only related to whether the breach could be blocked, but also related to the lives of tens of thousands of people. Success or failure depended on it!

Chang Feng staggered onto the light boat, and Zuo Hongji followed without hesitation. The two of them rowed the boat upstream towards the crevasse.

The boat sank slowly, and after a while, it completely sank to the bottom.

At this time, although all eight ships sank to the bottom of the water, the concrete poured on the eight ships formed a city wall, cutting off the flood water from the breach.

"Success!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and everyone immediately cheered.

Although the walls kept shaking under the impact of the flood, they still stopped the flood.

As the planner of this operation, Li Canghai gradually lost consciousness after drinking a few sips of the muddy flood water.

He vaguely remembered that he jumped into the flood with the housekeeper in his arms.

Then, enduring the severe pain, he came to the bottom of the boat, and used sharp stones to chisel the weak point of the bottom of the boat desperately.

The bottom of the boat was cut through, and the sharp wooden stakes one person high, prepared in advance, pierced the bottom of the boat fiercely under the weight of the hull.

Those sharp wooden stakes are like sharp claws, firmly grasping the ground under the breach, and the concrete in the hull is poured down suddenly. After contacting the water, a row of dense air bubbles quickly emerge, and the concrete When it meets water, it solidifies, and soon the wooden pile and the hull are solidified into a whole.

Eight ships just blocked the dam.

In the five-foot-wide hull structure, several feet-high concrete was filled. After the concrete lost its stirring, it began to solidify rapidly under the contact of rainwater.

I'm afraid, even Li Canghai himself couldn't imagine that the concrete he made on a whim could actually hold back the flood.

It wasn't until later that he met an official from the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court who specialized in mineral research that he realized that he was able to block the breach entirely because of the special soil quality of the isolated mountain.

The soil of the lonely mountain is a kind of sedimentary rock. This kind of rock and soil has the characteristics of rapid condensation after contact with water, which makes his plan work.

At this time, Chang'an, the imperial capital thousands of miles away, was filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness.

Chang'an City is full of flowers and very lively, and the imperial palace is even more magnificent and magnificent.

In the Zichen Hall, the floor is paved with gold bricks and the steps are made of jade. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, looking at the memorial in his hand with a gloomy face.

After a while, he threw the memorial out suddenly with an angry expression. Li Longji swept across the crowd standing below, pointed at the memorial and shouted: "Who among you can explain to me what's going on?"

All the officials bowed their heads, but no one dared to answer.

Li Longji raised his eyebrows, his old face was full of anger.He swept across the crowd, and his eyes fell on a middle-aged official with a long beard and white face and a beard in a purple official uniform.

"Yang Guozhong, tell me, what's going on?"

Yang Guozhong bent down to pick up the memorial, he only glanced at it, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, please appease your anger. In my opinion, these are all rumors, and the purpose is to prevent your Majesty from making a tour of Fengchan."

"Rumors? Tell me, what's the matter with this 'Dragon Breaking Stone'?" Li Longji was full of anger, and he said angrily: "I haven't been in court for a month, yet someone wants to rebel. It's unreasonable. There's no reason for that!"

"Your Majesty, my minister Cui Huan has something to report!" Among the courtiers, one walked out and bowed.

Seeing Cui Huan walk out, Li Longji frowned: "Cui Huan, what's the matter with you?"

Cui Huan saluted Li Longji, and said in a deep voice, "This memorial was sent to Chang'an seven days ago. However, this urgent memorial was intercepted by someone with a heart. This is someone deliberately Blind the Holy Spirit."

"Oh? Who is so bold to intercept the memorial?" Li Longji shouted with a gloomy expression.

Cui Huan glanced at Yang Guozhong, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the person who intercepted the memorial is none other than Lord Yang! As the prime minister, he is in charge of the Zhongshu Province, and all the memorials must be gathered in his hands, but he has the Yellow River Breaking the embankment, concealing such an important matter and not reporting it. Master Yang, what is your intention in doing this?"
