Chapter 247 Daddy Wants What He Wants
"Grow taller, but also lose weight."
Looking at his daughter carefully, Chu Ce gave his evaluation.
Over the past half year, her eyebrows and eyes have grown more mature, and she looks more and more like her ancestor, Empress Dalin, only less domineering and more immortal.
You Huang took a look at the environment, yawned lazily, picked a seat and sat down, and said, "How long do you plan to last for this strategic deterrence?"
"How do you know it's just a strategic deterrent and not a real war?" Chu Ce looked at his daughter in surprise. You Huang used a cleaning spell to clean herself up, staring at the sand table in front of her and said, "Father is not good at water battles, and he sent you here more to intimidate me."
"Stop minding your own business and go to the back to have some rest." Chu Ce knew that his daughter didn't need to sleep, but he just didn't want her to interfere in the affairs of the world.
"I……"
"I'm so angry. I'm so angry."
Just as You Huang was about to speak, he was interrupted by an angry voice.
Chu Ce immediately gave a look, and You Huang had to walk to the back. He heard the curtain being lifted, followed by the sound of gulping water.
"Brother Yingli, if the negotiation didn't work out, there's no need to be so angry." Chu Ce quickly stood up to comfort him. Li Jie changed his usual polite manner and said, "In the past, you looked down on us for being warriors without literary talent. I think they are the uncivilized savages. They actually said that your Majesty had a deep conversation with their Majesty alone. Their sinister intentions are known to everyone."
"Bah, that old pervert of Lord Haoyue..." Chu Ce was halfway through his sentence when he thought of his daughter behind him and changed his words: "Old pervert, can he handle it?"
"Not only is he an old pervert, he also said that if Your Majesty gave birth to Haoyue's child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, he would ascend the throne..." At this point, Li Jie was so angry that he trembled all over, and slammed the table and said, "His teeth are almost all gone, how can he still have sperm?"
"In my opinion, let's not talk about it..." Li Jie became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "What are you talking about? Just knock down Haoyue. I want to kill that old turtle with my own hands."
"You are the Minister of Rites, you should pay attention to your image." Chu Ce reminded quietly, and then he heard his daughter's sarcastic voice: "Stupid as hell, why do you need to send troops to deter them, why do you need to negotiate with them?"
"Who's in there?"
Li Jie immediately looked at Chu Ce and asked.
He knew that Shen Zhaojun was patrolling the city at this hour and could not be in the tent.
You Huang walked out, stood in front of the sand table, pointed to a location and said, "Build a dam at this location to block the water. Then Hao Yue will be the only one begging us for help."
Li Jie was stunned when he suddenly saw You Huang. He said, "It's not that we haven't thought about this method, but even if we build a dam, we can't keep the water from flowing out. If the water level of the dam is too high, it will also be a threat to Guangrun Mansion."
"We can open another river channel..." Before You Huang finished speaking, Li Jie waved his hand and said, "The terrain of Guangrun Prefecture is lower than the sea level. If we open a river channel directly from here to the sea, seawater will flow back in and submerge Guangrun Prefecture. Besides, if we intercept the water, Haoyue Country can also divert seawater in to continue navigation."
"They don't dare to do that." You Huang said confidently, "Ships can use seawater for navigation, but can the crops on both sides of the river be irrigated with seawater?"
"And I'm not talking about opening a river to the sea, but about transferring water from the south to the north." You Huang pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Open a river from here, leading directly to this basin in the northwest. This basin is a natural reservoir, which can solve the problem of water shortage in the northwest."
"This……"
Li Jie glanced at Chu Ce.
Chu Huang immediately said to his daughter, "Do you know how far it is from south to northwest? How much manpower, material resources and time will it take to complete it?"
"My daughter knows. If it takes you two generations, it will take you two generations, but..." You Huang paused and said, "With my daughter here, it will only take a few strokes on the ground and it will be done in a moment. But you will have to spend some time to notify the people living along the river and reservoir to relocate."
"Niece, are you talking in your sleep?" Li Jie looked at You Huang in disbelief.
"If it were done with the strength of mortals, it would indeed take two generations." Facing Li Jie's questioning, Youhuang just gave a vague hint.
"Mortals..." Li Jie stopped talking and said in great surprise: "Look at my memory. How could I forget that my niece is not an ordinary person? I will listen to you. I will first determine the route of the river with your father, and then immediately return to Tiandu to report to His Majesty, and then arrange for the relocation of the people."
"Huang'er, aren't you not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world?" Chu Ce asked in confusion. You Huang said disapprovingly, "I occasionally passed by the northwest and found that the local people were suffering from severe water shortage and hardship. So I kindly opened a river to divert water from the south to save the people in the northwest."
"It is the responsibility of cultivators like me to protect the people of the world." You Huang said disapprovingly, "How can it be considered as interfering in human affairs?"
"What my niece said is absolutely right." Li Jie immediately said excitedly: "Saving the common people is a good deed, but it is certainly not interfering in human affairs. If you use magic to help your father fight, that is called interfering in human affairs."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Ce immediately became unhappy: "Even if my daughter doesn't use magic, she is still a fierce general on the battlefield."
"Brave general, brave general, your whole family is brave..." Li Jie's anger had long been extinguished by You Huang, and he said proudly: "My niece has finally come back, you two should have a good chat. I will write a memorial and send it to His Majesty at an expedited 800-mile distance."
"Master Li, please write quickly. I will deliver it to His Majesty before dark."
You Huang spoke confidently. Just as Li Jie was about to speak, he heard Chu Ce say, "Your Majesty has always been wary of the Marquis of Wushen Mansion. You cannot directly say in your memorial that it was Huang Er who took action. Just say that there are immortal cultivators who are willing to help and can open up a river to the northwest in a short time."
“Understood, understood…”
"You two can chat first, I'll be back soon."
Li Jie walked out of the commander's tent with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune. His smiling face made the soldiers along the way a little confused.
"Huang'er, are you sure you can do it?" Chu Ce looked at his daughter with some concern. You Huang smiled and said, "Although I didn't succeed in forming the elixir this time, I was still able to chop down the Princess's mansion with one sword despite being seriously injured. Now that my injuries have fully recovered, it won't be difficult for me to chop down a river."
Speaking of the Princess's Mansion, You Huang thought for a moment and said, "During the time my daughter was away, Princess Shude didn't act up again, did she?"
Chu Ce smiled and said, "They didn't provoke us again, but they got closer to the Yuan family and His Majesty. I wonder what they are plotting."
"The Yuan family's purpose is very simple. My daughter is worried that Princess Shude will lead His Majesty down the path of evil." You Huang thought of Gu Xi and sighed, "If His Majesty saw Gu Xi's younger appearance, I'm afraid it would be hard for him not to be moved."
"Daddy wants nothing more than this."
There was something else behind Chu Ce's words, and You Huang understood it immediately.
If Her Majesty colludes with the devil to harm court officials and the people, they will have an excuse to pull her down from the throne.
