Chapter 86
Nan Yi moved her lips, looked at Cheng Qianwei's back, wanted to comfort her, but she walked too fast, so she had to give up.

"General, how could she think so?" Fu Min asked doubtfully.

"She seems to like you." Nan Yi guessed after seeing her various performances.

Fu Min turned pale with shock, he couldn't imagine that there would be a woman who would please him, but unfortunately, he didn't like this kind of gentle girl, what he wanted was a strong woman who was as strong as him and would fight on the battlefield.

"Then I will stay away from her in the future." Fu Min put down the bowl and said.

"Now that you have expressed your heart, she probably won't have any other thoughts about you." Nan Yi continued to speculate, after all, the girl has too little face to stand up to her sweetheart saying so.

"It's best like this." Fu Min nodded slightly, and he left after eating. The maid came in and cleaned up the food on the table, and brought tea and snacks.

Feng Yici poured a cup of tea, the water in the mansion was brought by the county magistrate, if not for his noble status, he might not be able to drink water, Nan Yi felt a little tired, so he had a rest early, and he still had work to do tomorrow.

The tea in the cup gradually cooled down, and the tea leaves fluttered slightly. Feng Yici picked it up and took a sip. The taste was very fragrant. Then he got up, went to the study, and looked at the topographic map of the mountain wall. The records were fairly detailed , and marked the digging place on it.

In this way, a lot of trouble can be saved, and the progress will be faster. The mountain wall is very large, and it is still beside the cliff, surrounded by raised peaks. It is not an easy task to build aqueducts.

Unknowingly, it was dawn, Feng Yici rubbed his temples, his head hurt a little, but fortunately, after confirming all the excavation locations, he rolled up the topographic map and put it away.

"Your Highness, you didn't rest last night? What are you doing?" Nan Yi pushed open the door and asked, and Feng Yici caught his eye, sitting on the bench with a haggard face, rubbing his temples, looking very tired .

"Mark the excavation site, so as not to hit the wrong place and injure your soldiers, it's not worth the loss." Feng Yici stopped his movements and said.

"Don't go there today, so you can rest in the mansion. Give me the topographical map, and I will go to investigate it. If it is possible, I will let the soldiers dig and build it tomorrow." Nan Yi said this because he felt sorry for him.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, I know the topographic map better than you." Feng Yici refused, and Nan Yi had no choice but to let him follow.

After breakfast, the two left. Fu Min had already been busy here. When he saw Nan Yi coming, he came over with the blueprint and said:

"General, this is the cave drawing on the mountain wall drawn by the soldiers. There are many sources of water. Tomorrow, we can draw the blueprint on the mountain wall and choose where to dig."

Nan Yi took it, unfolded it and looked at it, but there are not many water sources. The easiest way is to dig from the bottom up, afraid that it will not be able to bear it. In case of a landslide, no one will survive. It is too dangerous. Big.

Feng Yici also came over to take a look, the cave was huge, and his guess last night was correct, so the place where his mark was excavated can be guaranteed to be safe!
"Call more soldiers today, all climb up the cave, fetch water for the people who came in line, and send it down." Nan Yi ordered after closing the blueprint.

After Fu Min took the order, he went to make arrangements. Feng Yici took the topographic map and walked around the mountain wall to watch, as long as they were roughly the same.

"Xiao Yi, the topographic map, you can try to excavate it today, the people can't wait, water is the source of life, you can't wait for a moment." Feng Yici handed the topographic map to Nan Yi and said.

"The place you marked, I think it's a little dangerous. Although the soldiers are skilled, but the mountain wall is smooth, accidents are prone to happen." After seeing it, Nan Yi said dissatisfiedly, no one can have any accidents, they must live!

"You and I don't know the internal structure of the mountain wall, so we can only attack on the outside of the mountain wall. Now, this is the best way." Feng Yici understood what Nan Yi was thinking, and explained.

The people lack the fountain of life most, so they can only use the fastest and most effective way to complete the construction of the canal, but there are risks.

Nan Yi hesitated for a while, thought carefully, and had no choice but to agree, and sent soldiers to take action, and told them to pay attention to safety, while the common people were carrying wooden buckets and lined up, waiting for the soldiers in the cave to fetch water for them.

The county magistrate was still late, and kept saying sorry, with an apologetic expression on his face. Nan Yi couldn't bear it, and said:

"County magistrate, why are you late every day?"

"There was a delay at home. My wife has been unwell for the past few days. The summer is hot. She couldn't bear it and got sick again and again." The county magistrate responded, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"This trip is followed by a doctor with excellent medical skills. Later, I will ask General Fu to take him to the mansion to treat the county magistrate's wife. You should handle this matter well." Nan Yi said with a side note Well, the drought incident was a good opportunity for the county magistrate to be promoted. It is really a pity that he is the number one scholar, but he has been relegated to Jiang County.

"Thank you, General, for your point. It's just that the lower officials have already been disappointed with the dynasty. The little county magistrate, the lower officials are already satisfied. Besides, my family is here, and I will be here for the rest of my life." The county magistrate politely refused. Without the arrogance of a literati when I was young, I have long looked down on everything, let alone any lofty ambitions.

In my heart, if there is no desire, how can there be ambition?

"That's fine." Feng Yici said before Nan Yi could speak.

"Of course, this is what I want. General, don't forget to ask the doctor to go to the mansion to treat my wife." After the county magistrate finished speaking, he smiled at Nan Yi and went to work.

"Xiaoyi, in ten years, with his intelligence and wisdom, he will definitely return to the court. There is no need to mention him. I know that you cherish talents in your heart, so why not father? He has worries in his heart, and the court is too deep. He doesn't want to step in." Feng Yici looked at the county magistrate walking away, and said slowly.

Today's point, for the county magistrate, must have ulterior motives, above the court, it is the day when blood is licked on the tip of the knife, and in recent years, there have been a large number of talents, who will remember him?

Even if he returns to the ruling and opposition parties, he doesn't have the power and connections to gain a firm foothold. It's better to live a stable life in Jiang County and come here freely.

"It's a pity that the strength of the literati is now exhausted." Nan Yi said with emotion, it is a blessing for him that the county magistrate followed his heart.

In recent days, the court has been very chaotic. On the surface, they are very flattering, but behind the scenes, who knows how they will feel?

"Xiaoyi, you must pay attention to your words when you are outside. You can't do what you did just now. It will be considered as a way to win over the courtiers. We can do our job well, understand?" Feng Yici reminded, and the court is also In this way, if you act carelessly, your past efforts will be in vain.
