Binding his whole life to another person, if it were Jiang Huan in his previous life, he might still feel that Qiu Xingjian was completely devoted to Chen Ruyi and was a rare loyal minister in the world.
But in this life, Jiang Huan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, as if he didn't agree with the words, "Have you never thought about what your life would be like if Chen Ruyi didn't exist?"
Like?"
Qiu Xingjian was startled by this question, as if he had never thought about this question.
He fell into thinking for a moment and seemed to have a hard time finding the answer to this question.
A world without Chen Ruyi? What would that look like?
Qiu Xingjian realized belatedly that he had never thought of such a problem.
If Chen Ruyi was not around and he was the only one in the world, what kind of life would he have?
Qiu Xingjian was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, "If, if I don't become the emperor's minister..."
For the rest, Qiu Xingjian's voice was extremely soft, so soft that it was hard for Jiang Huan to hear clearly, and he could only recognize it intermittently.
But no matter how carefully Jiang Huan listened, she could still only hear the fragments of Qiu Xingjian's words, but it was difficult to hear them all.
"...Ranger, wouldn't you be happy..."
...
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Even if the people in the city work hard to dig channels and move the accumulated water, it is still difficult to withstand the horror of this natural disaster.
The people tried their best to quell the flood, but even though they tried their best, they could only watch the flood get worse and worse.
A sense of despair instantly spread throughout the city. Even the people who had been so motivated before now lost confidence one by one. They guarded the severely waterlogged Jiangnan City dejectedly, looking at the lifeless look.
This feeling made Jiang Huan feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he was going to suffocate at any moment.
She wanted to encourage the people to cheer up, but judging from the current situation, this kind of verbal encouragement would only arouse people's anger even more, thereby intensifying this disaster.
Nowadays, the main reason why the city gate is blocked is from the royal family of Kyoto.
No matter how Chen Ruyi helped Jiangnan City cure the floods before, judging from the current situation, if the flooding problem is not improved and the royal family's blockade of Kyoto is not lifted, the people's hatred of the royal family will only become deeper.
Some.
This hatred will continue to accumulate and finally be vented on Chen Ruyi.
This is the situation Jiang Huan least wants to see.
It is better to curb this possibility before this situation occurs.
"Wang You, how much grain storage is there in the city now?" Jiang Huan asked quietly.
Wang You hurriedly flipped through the book and took a closer look, "There is still about a month's worth of grain stored. If the people are short of food, the Jiangnan County magistrate will open a warehouse to stock up on grain, and it will only last for ten days at most."
How can a flood be rectified in ten days?
Jiang Huan didn't even dare to think about it.
But now she had to think of a way to clean up this mess.
At least the people's hearts must be stabilized before Chen Ruyi comes back, so that Chen Ruyi won't have to worry about it.
Jiang Huan made up his mind, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "Wang You, prepare for me. I'm going to visit the broken main pipeline."
When Wang You heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Fifth Princess must not do it. Now that place has been completely submerged in water. If the Fifth Princess goes there, there will be a risk of drowning. Such a risk
The old slave must not let the princess take risks."
Jiang Huan didn't know about this risk, but now he can only calm down the people by taking a risk.
"You are not doing something for me, you are helping Chen Ruyi." Jiang Huan said every word solemnly and extremely seriously.
Perhaps this solemnity moved Wang You, and his frown that had been frowning slightly relaxed.
Jiang Huan also stoked the fire while it was hot and continued to persuade, "I'm going to see what's wrong with the main pipelines, whether there are any traces left by saboteurs, and..."
Jiang Huan calmed down and said with a sharp look, "I want to try to repair the pipes."
It can be said that Jiang Huan has no confidence or certainty in repairing drainage pipes.
But this time, she still had to go.
Saying that he could try to repair it was just Jiang Huan's excuse to convince Wang You.
In fact, in Jiang Huan's heart, she is more unsure than anyone else.
Just opening this mouth, Jiang Huan will not back down.
The main drainage pipes have been completely damaged, and the channels where these pipes are located have also been submerged. The soil has overflowed and the silt has blocked the channel, making it difficult to find the entrance to the channel.
If you were to sink into this muddy water, your vision would be blocked for one thing, and it would be difficult to breathe for another.
Jiang Huan threw a stone into the muddy water, but there was no sound of the stone falling to the ground.
From this point of view, it is almost impossible to swim in and find the entrance.
Wang You looked at Jiang Huan worriedly. He tried his best to tilt the umbrella over Jiang Huan's head, but it still couldn't stop the pouring rain.
Jiang Huan and half of his body were soaked through. Jiang Huan's black hair stuck to her face, blocking her expression and making it difficult to see clearly.
Even though Wang You was so close, he couldn't see what Jiang Huan was thinking right now.
"To what extent are the pipes damaged?" Jiang Huan asked.
She couldn't get into the water right now, so she could only rely on other people's descriptions to roughly understand the extent of the damage, so she could figure out what to do.
Wang You was startled when he was asked, but he immediately reacted, "The surface was smashed by someone, so water leakage occurred. Moreover, the rain was too heavy, and the broken part of the pipe became larger and larger, so the water leakage occurred."
That will make it difficult for these pipes to drain water."
Jiang Huan nodded, and then ordered, "Ask the guards to tell the people that I have a way to repair one or two pipelines, and ask the guards to call the people here."
When Wang You heard this, the sadness between his brows deepened.
He seemed not sure whether he should leave or not. He looked at Jiang Huan back and forth with his little eyes, as if he was afraid that if he left, Jiang Huan would find a way to commit suicide.
Jiang Huan looked helpless and could only say, "I have a kind of Gu insect that can condense into a solid substance when exposed to water. This solid substance can temporarily seal the damaged parts of the pipe so that it can temporarily restore its hydrophobic ability.
.”
As Jiang Huan spoke, he took out an exquisite glass cup.
I saw two small bugs taking a nap in the glass cup. They moved slowly in response to Jiang Huan's movements. They looked weird and scary, and it was hard to accept.
