The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 59

When I came to the river **** breach again, everything here was unchanged from the morning… The boulders were scattered, the fracture remained, and the stone that was cut off by Wen Fei still stood on the spot.

Wen Fei glanced at the stagnant water on the horseshoe and said to Chu Xi: “Don’t get off the horse, let’s go directly to the river embankment.”

Chu Xi nodded, leaning back slightly, closing her eyes and leaning against Wen Fei’s arms.

Wen Fei felt it, and looked down, but only saw the side of Chu Xi’s face. She was a little strange in her heart, but she didn’t think much about it, and she pulled her horse towards the river embankment as soon as she pulled the rein.

The stone material used in the river embankment here is obviously better than the one I checked before, so Wen Fei also confidently mounted the horse directly on the river embankment, and then turned over and got off the horse and helped Chu Xi down by the way. When the two of them stood still on the river embankment, Wen Fei pointed to a huge boulder that was soaked in the water and said to Chu Xi: “The gravel I showed you was cut from that stone.”

When Chu Xi heard the words and followed her expectations subconsciously, she saw a few huge boulders scattered and protruding in the water of Lingling. The angle they were at just saw the huge boulder Wen Fei was referring to. There was an abrupt smoothness on the stone, exactly where Wen Fei had cut off.

After a quick glance, Chu Xi closed her gaze back. She said to Wen Fei: “Try the stone under your feet.”

Wen Fei nodded and drew out the saber without hesitation, but with the morning attempt, she would not be as rash as she was on the river bank before. At the moment, he drew out the sword without too much force, stabbed it slightly into the bluestone under his feet, and as expected, he could not penetrate into it. Then she spent a lot of effort to pry the stone, but she was unable to pry it out after working hard for a long time.

With only these two points, Wen Fei can be sure that the river embankment used is good material, and it is also in line with the quality of the river embankment declared to the emperor by the officials of the Ministry of Industry. It’s just that, instead, it can prove more and more that there is something tricky in it-there is no reason to build the river embankment well. The piece of tofu dregs project I saw before is actually good, so this section of the river embankment must be faked!

Wen Fei didn’t wait for Chu Xi to remind him, and he took the initiative to say: “Achu, wait here for a while, I will see how long this section of the river embankment is.” The river embankment is naturally very long, and it is hard to see the end at a glance. , But what Wen Fei is referring to is obviously a fake section.

After she said these words, she turned around and walked away with her sword. When she was fifty steps away, she pierced the river bank with another sword. If she couldn’t get in, she walked forward another fifty steps, and then continued to use this method to test the authenticity of the stone.

Fortunately, due to the current floods, and time is pressing, the fraud of the river embankment is still limited after all. When Wen Fei drew his sword to stab the bluestone for the fourth time, there was no longer any strong stagnation, and the sharp long sword easily broke through the obstacles and went straight into the stone. So she stopped and looked back, and then estimated the distance, which was about two hundred meters.

There is no need to try again. Wen Fei took her sword and turned back, and said to Chu Xi: “Within about two hundred steps, the stones have been changed.” After she finished speaking, she looked at the other side of the mouth: “The other side should also be. almost.”

After hearing this, Chu Xi nodded: “I guess it’s the same.”

Wen Fei was a little surprised, and he didn’t suspect that Chu Xi was coaxing her with big talk: “Can you guess this too?!”

Chu Xi looked at the height of the river embankment under her eyes, and quickly retracted her gaze: “Of course. You don’t have to think about it too complicated, just count the stones used for the construction of the embankment.” She said, raising her finger to the blue stone under her foot: “This kind of stone is the finest bluestone, but in general, the consumption is not too large. First, this kind of stone is expensive, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Second, this kind of stone is not easy to mine, and it takes time. Most of them have to be ordered in advance, and it is impossible for ordinary shops to have a large amount of inventory.”

Wen Fei’s mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood: “This torrential rain and floods came suddenly. What you mean is that these stones are temporarily diverted, so the raw materials for the construction of the embankment itself will not be too much. ?”

For the stone materials of the four hundred steps of the river embankment, transportation is about a whole ship, and it is exactly the amount of building a garden.

Chu Xi bends her eyebrows slightly and nodded: “That’s right. It’s easy to investigate next. Most of these stones are used to repair the garden. You can check it out. Recently, among the wealthy families in Jiangzhou, which one needs to be repaired? Gardens. Or let people go to various gardens to see if any of the gardens have been demolished. If there are none, then see if there are merchants who have passed through Jiangzhou, and the goods shipped are stone materials.”

All in all, this is an obvious clue, and it will become easier to follow this line. If Wen Fei really wanted to investigate, what Chu Xi said was to help her find the thread in a mess.

Wen Fei’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Xi with scorching eyes, and said sincerely: “A Chu, you are really amazing.”

Chu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, accepting the compliment without any hesitation, feeling happy.

************************************************** **********************

Chu Xi easily gave the direction of the investigation, but all came, and Wen Fei naturally wanted to investigate the matter clearly. So after checking the reality of this river embankment, she turned her gaze back to the river embankment crevasse—this crevasse was really exploded by gunpowder, and it didn’t look like a post-mortem. Could it be that after changing the stone, it’s true? Was bombed once? !

Regardless of whether the river embankment was really bombed, Wen Fei did not intend to let it go. She could see that there was a lot of trouble with the construction of the embankment in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flood also killed a lot of people, and she didn’t want to let it go.

Thinking about this, Wen Fei went to check the breach again.

In fact, Wen Fei had already checked it when she came in the morning. Judging from her little blasting experience, the river embankment seemed to be no problem. It’s just that the current Wen Fei is full of confidence in Chu Xi. After checking again and seeing no flaws, she naturally waved at Chu Xi and asked for help: “A Chu, come and see if there are any clues about this river embankment breach. ?”

Chu Xi seemed to hesitate when he heard the words, but after his eyes fell on Wen Fei’s face, he seemed to have found some courage again. So she stepped over, walked to Wen Fei’s side, and knelt down to check the suspected breach.

The ruptures of the crevices are uneven, and the earth-colored water marks clearly indicate the past flooded by water here.

Wen Fei noticed the arrival of Chu Xi next to him, and subconsciously pulled her sleeves and said to her: “A Chu, take a look first. If you can’t see anything, I will pry a stone and let you smell it?”

As soon as the voice fell, Wen Fei suddenly felt that the sleeves he was pulling down tightened. Before she could realize what was happening, the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of the figure next to her and suddenly fell forward. She was taken aback, and instinctively grabbed it. Fortunately, the martial artist had quick eyes and hands. She was really caught by this one, and the next one pulled the person back with force.

Xu Ye was flustered and couldn’t know his strength, Wen Fei’s pulling force became stronger, and Chu Xi was pulled up and directly fell on her body. Wen Fei himself squatted unheard of, and immediately fell back with his arms around Chu Xi.

With a “boom”, the back of his head knocked on the river embankment, which was a little painful.

Wen Fei’s eyes were black for a moment, and his head was also a little confused, but he quickly recovered. She blinked and burst into a layer of physiological tears, and only then did her heart beat “puff through” and “puff through” and jumped wildly, all of a sudden.

The moment he reacted, Wen Fei hugged the person in his arms and asked, “Achu, how are you, are you okay?”

Chu Xi leaned in her arms and seemed to slow down, and then shook her head and said, “I’m fine.” After speaking, she tried to hold her up from her arms, and then said: “Sorry, I hurt you. Are you okay?”

Wen Fei saw that she was really fine, so he sat up from the ground with a sigh of relief and shook his head to say that he was all right. As a result, his head shook, and there was another dizziness, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands to support the ground next to him.

When Chu Xi saw her reaction, she knew it was wrong, and hurriedly called her not to move, and then leaned back to check for her. She was pale with seriousness, and she held Wen Fei’s head with her hands to look at the back of her head. Chu Xi was slightly relieved to see that there was no bleeding. Then he touched it carefully with his hand, and he felt a bulge as expected.

Wen Fei hid in pain, but it didn’t seem to be serious for the time being, so he comforted her in turn: “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Chu Xi is still a little guilty: “Sorry, I hurt you.”

It was just a knock, Wen Fei naturally didn’t take this little matter to heart, she subconsciously reached out to touch the bulge on the back of her head, but forgot that Chu Xi’s hand hadn’t been removed yet. So she pressed this touch on Chu Xi’s hand, and the silky touch instantly deflected her thoughts. She finally realized how ambiguous the distance between the two of them was at this moment…

At this time, Chu Xi held her head with one hand, and touched the back of her with the other, as if embracing her, bringing the two of them closer together infinitely. Wen Fei lifted her eyes, her snow-white slender neck came into her eyes, and her breath was full of the breath of a beautiful woman in front of her.

This is a closer distance than the same rider, Wen Fei cast his eyes down, and then his ears became red silently.

Chu Xi caught a glimpse of her crimson auricle, and finally realized what was wrong, and calmly let go of her hand and withdrew a little. She was also a little uncomfortable, but she still thanked Wen Fei earnestly, and it seemed that it had become the norm to give such thanks to her.

Wen Fei couldn’t care about the bag knocked out from the back of her head, she secretly rubbed her ears, and accepted Chu Xi’s gratitude. Then her sanity returned a little bit, and she finally remembered what was going on, so she asked: “What happened before, why did you suddenly fall forward?”

Hearing this, Chu Xi glanced under the river bank subconsciously, saw the river flowing slowly, and quickly retracted his gaze. Her complexion seemed more ugly, and she hesitated and told the truth to Wen Fei again and again: “I was a little dizzy when I saw the water. When I was squatting there, I saw the river water. Suddenly dizzy, I fell forward. Fortunately, I have you. exist…”

The last sentence, “Fortunately, you are here,” Chu Xi said with a sincere feeling, and she became more dependent on Wen Fei in her heart.

However, Wen Fei couldn’t be happy, because she suddenly remembered the incident of Chu Xi falling into the water twice. Especially during the flood, she failed to protect her and caused her to drown or even almost drowned. From then on, Chu Xi had fear of the water in her heart.

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (annoyed): I was not good at all, I failed to protect people at the beginning

Chu Xi (depending on): It doesn’t matter, sequelae or something, I don’t mind if you spend a lifetime with you
