I could hardly turn my eyes open when I looked back, and when I looked back, Pei Yuanhao stood here with a very serious expression on his face.

I think it was the first time he saw this dam.

This unprecedentedly massive project was ordered by Emperor Gao to build in Xichuan, and it used unimaginable manpower and material resources. At that time, everyone did not understand why the imperial court built a project that was beneficial to Xichuan, relatively speaking, it was not good for them. However, the people in Xichuan still accepted it, and over the years, they have been enjoying the convenience brought by this dam.

Xichuan has also become the most prosperous area outside Yangzhou.

But now, I actually know very well in my heart.

There are some unspeakable thoughts hidden in this dam, so that the Supreme Emperor and Zhao Shuyuan both mentioned this place before their death. As for Pei Yuanhao-

I saw him slowly walking to the side of the embankment and looking at the staggering trough under his feet.

After a while, the gate will open and the river water will pour out from the gate under our feet. At this time, everything is still calm, but there is also undercurrent under the calm water surface. Just like at this moment, under his eyes, the gaze that deliberately keeps calm, I can see clearly that something is surging.

Paper can never contain the fire. Even if a mystery has been hidden for hundreds or thousands of years, it will eventually be revealed one day, right?

I slowly walked behind him and said, "What are your Majesty thinking?"

He suddenly turned around and looked at me.

This time I asked him, but he was lost in his mind and was even in a panic.

But immediately, he realized that I asked this sentence on purpose.

I said, "This is the first time that your Majesty has seen this dam?"

"But, I've seen it countless times in my dream."

"Has the Supreme Emperor mentioned this dam?"

"..." He was silent for a while and said, "What do you want to say?"

I looked at his dark, deep eyes, but didn't say anything more. At this moment, Chabixing's anxious voice came from beside him: "Be careful, don't fall."

Looking back, Chalin walked up to the dam.

Except for the two women Susu and I, the most difficult thing for the people here is him. Before the injury was healed, he followed us to come here for a long distance. He couldn't rest well last night. At this time, there was no blood on his face. He could see his fatigue and fatigue at a glance, but he didn't have time to rest. When he saw the Sanjiang Dam, he felt like he was crazy.

Chabixing followed him and said worriedly: "What the hell are you looking at?"

Chalin didn't care about him at all, and waved his hand behind him, saying that he would not disturb him, but his feet were floating and he couldn't walk steadily. It was still Chabixing who supported him to walk up the dam. He looked up and down at this magnificent project. After a long time, he sighed: "The merit of creation."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to find Zong Zheng and asked, "Where is the gate?"

Zong Zheng pointed to the opposite side: "It's there."

“How to turn it on?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the front. When he looked up, he saw that it was Zong Zheng's adopted son and his granddaughters who drove the horse down from the other road.

I didn't expect that they had so many horses.

Among them, his adopted son rode the tallest horse in front, and the other horses followed obediently, as if they were familiar with each other. Several women were walking beside him and shouting, which was not like driving a horse, but like driving a flock of sheep. In a short while, they walked in front of us.

"Grandpa, the horse is here, can we go there?"

"Let's go."

Zong Zheng said, turning to me: "Your Highness, bring your people well, it's no joke to open the gate."

I nodded and immediately ordered Du Yan to restrain his subordinates. The people brought by Pei Yuanhao had long been shocked by the dam. When they arrived in such a strange place, they did not dare to act rashly, and they all followed us obediently.

I couldn't help but look around again.

Those people - are they nearby?

Although, as Zong Zheng said, this dam is too grand. If ordinary people do anything to destroy, it is really like a mantis armed mantis, but if a person always wants to do bad things, he will definitely do it. After all, it is much easier to destroy than to build.

If the gate is opened, what methods will they have?

Su Su held my sleeve, felt my hesitation, and looked back at me: "Miss, what are you thinking?"

I shook my head, but Du Yan, who was walking beside me, said, "Miss Yan is still worried about those people."

I said, "How can I not worry about their purpose already, but I don't know their means?"

Su Su said, "But, didn't the old man Zongzheng just now say that even if those people come to this dam, they can't do anything. Originally, Yugong had to move the mountain for a few years. This dam is bigger than the mountain. What can only be done by those few people?"

Du Yan remained silent.

After hearing Su Su's words, I smiled bitterly and said, "Silly girl, sometimes, I am not afraid of someone working together to accomplish something, but I am afraid of someone deliberately destroying something. In this world, destruction is always easier than construction."

She opened her eyes wide and looked at me, saying, "Ah?"

She didn't understand after saying too much. I just smiled and continued to walk forward. Du Yan didn't say anything. Our group followed Zong Zheng and the others through this long embankment. The wind gradually became colder. Soon, it blew all the clouds around us and gathered them above our heads. The sunny morning became a little darker in a short while.

Zong Zheng looked up and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain again, hurry up."

His children and grandchildren responded one after another and speeded up.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! I finally walked to this end of the embankment, which was similar to the previous one. But when I reached this end of the embankment, I saw that the road under my feet turned back and extended a road to the bottom of the embankment. I realized that there was a layer under the embankment.

However, it is not very hidden, you can see it just by walking over.

I asked, "The gate is open below?"

Zong Zheng nodded and said, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Pei Yuanhao and me and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty, don't take so many people down there. Apart from the personal guards, everyone else will stay on it."

If it were normal, even his subordinates would not agree to this matter. But now, when we arrived at a completely unfamiliar place, everyone was very cautious and restrained. Pei Yuanhao didn't say much, so he ordered his men to stay on top to guard the intersection, and only let the two brothers Wenhu and Wenbao accompany him. Naturally, other people were left behind on my side, only Chabixing took Chalin, and Susu and Du Yan followed me.

Old Man Zongzheng led us down.

While walking on the road, Du Yan suddenly said, "Miss just said that it is actually very easy if someone wants to deliberately destroy something or something."

He suddenly said this, which made everyone around him stunned, and everyone looked back at him.

I nodded and said, "Yes."

"If it were a lady, what would you think of to destroy it?"

"I?"

"I just kept thinking about this. We fought with those people last night, and they left in a hurry. I saw that they had no other tools. If they rely solely on their people and the swords in their hands, as the old man said, it would be impossible to shake such a large dam."

“…”

"But, if you are careful..."

It seems that he was very cautious in doing this guard. The words I just said made him think of now.

If it was me...If I wanted to destroy this place deliberately...

Things that can destroy this place...

Thinking of this, my brow frowned.

At this moment, we had already walked along the road to the lower floor of the dam and found that there was a very large space below the dam, which looked like a huge secret room, and almost no sunlight could be shined in. In addition, the sky just turned cloudy, and the light in this place was already a little dim.

When Wenhu and Wenbao saw this, they immediately took out the fire note, but as soon as they took it out, they were scolded by Zong Zheng: "Put it back!"

"What are you doing? It's so dark here."

"Don't light the fire here."

Wenhu and Wenbao hesitated for a moment, but Pei Yuanhao said, "Listen to this old man."

The two of them immediately took back the things.

In fact, even if we don’t ignite the fire, we can still barely see the place clearly with the dim light, but once we see it clearly, we feel that nothing is left, because the walls here are as clean as there is nothing.

How to open the gate?

All of us looked at this place in surprise. Only Chalin was very excited. His pale face turned red at this time. He looked around for a few glances, especially when he was lying on the wall, as if he was looking for something. I also looked over and saw that the huge stone walls that looked very smoothly polished were actually found. Some very fine lines that were thinner than hair.

If it weren't for him watching, we wouldn't have seen it at all.

I asked, "What is this?"

Chalin did not speak, but looked along several fine lines and then pointed his eyes to the ground. Zong Zheng also walked to the place where he looked. Only then did we find that there was a very small lock on the ground.

He lifted his clothes, took a key from his belt and inserted it in, and twisted it.

I heard something sound coming from a distance, and it seemed to be at my feet, but there was nothing moving. Chalin ran over excitedly and saw Zong Zheng take out the key and lift the lock up. The floor was separated by him, and an iron frame was exposed below, which was extremely thick. It was probably a few people who could pick it up together, and there was a thick hemp rope wrapped around it.

I said, "Is this—?"

“This is used to open the gate.”

I didn't expect that the one who controlled the gate of Sanjiang Dam was something that seemed so simple.

Zong Zheng immediately said: "Come here to take the horse."

With his order, his adopted son and several granddaughters immediately led the horse over and put the hemp rope on the horse. We immediately understood that he was going to open the gate controlled by the iron frame through the power of the horse's pulling rope.

This incident is very fresh to us, and everyone came over to see it, but the bottom of the iron frame was pitch black and there was nothing to see, and the strong smell of tung oil could be smelled. Since it was the gate to open the gate, it naturally needed to maintain tung oil. No wonder the light below was so dark and Zong Zheng didn't ignite it.

Du Yan also smelled the tung oil and immediately said, "Old man, if there is a fire here, will it affect the dam?"

Zong Zheng glanced at him and said, "It's just that a few ropes are burned and then connected."

“…”

"Just a little more trouble."

"oh……"

After hearing this, Du Yan stopped talking.

I knew he was still worried about what he was thinking about, so I took a look down. Zong Zheng said this. It seemed that he had experienced such a thing before and caused him trouble, so he was unwilling to let someone call, but it should not be as dangerous as it would be.

However, after Du Yan asked this, everyone's spirit became a little tense again.

Everyone gathered around this place and watched the people pulling ropes and horses. Only Chalin. After looking here, he no longer had any interest in this iron frame. He still walked over to look at the surrounding stone walls. He was almost lying on the wall, squinting his eyes, as if he was looking for something.

Zong Zheng held his sleeves and looked at the busy figures of his children and grandchildren, with a look of sighing on his face. After a while, the horses were all set up. His adopted son handed the horse whip to his hand and said, "Father, let's do it today."

Zong Zheng himself smiled and said, "Today, it is the last time we have been ordering to guard the dam. After today, do whatever you want to do."

After saying this, he raised his whip and swung his whip in the air. With a bang, the horses were startled to run.

As soon as the horse ran, it pulled the rope on its body and turned the iron frame.

Everyone was watching this scene with all their attention, and listening to the muffled sounds coming from the underside of the iron frame, I suddenly remembered what he said just now-

Obey orders?

He has said he was ordered several times today. Before, I just thought that the person who built the embankment was Emperor Gao, so I didn't find it strange at all when he said he was ordered.

But he - he could not have been sent by Emperor Gao.

"Old man, whose order do you follow?"

"Of course it's His Majesty the Emperor."

"Which emperor is this?"
