Yang Yunhui.

As soon as he said that, I knew that more than ten years ago, after Yang Jinqiao pretended to die and left the palace, Yang Yunhui also took the opportunity to resign from his post and return home to Xichuan. This incident was not a secret. Later, I asked Uncle Wuwei to investigate the traces of his travels to Xichuan that year, and also knew that he had been to Sanjiangkou.

But unexpectedly, he also came to Sanjiang Dam.

Even in the letter to Yang Jinqiao, he did not disclose this.

Although this matter was not mentioned, I clearly remember that in that letter, he revealed his thought of retreating bravely. He seemed to suddenly think about something. Even though he was still carrying a dream that he had figured out with Pei Yuanhao, he also had the intention to retreat.

But after that—

I couldn't bear to think about it anymore, but when I saw Pei Yuanhao beside me, his face had not changed because he had been very heavy since he came to Sanjiang Dam.

I asked, "Have he done anything when he came here?"

Zong Zheng said: "This young man concealed his identity, but I can see that he is an official, but I just don't say it out loud and see what he is going to do. However, he didn't do anything else. He just came here to see the scenery and then the flood discharge from the dam."

My brow frowned slightly: "Has he watched the flood discharge from the dam?"

Zong Zheng nodded and said, "Those days were the time when the dam was discharged. No matter how big the matter was, we should not forget about it."

"What happened after he saw the flood discharge?"

"After he looked at it, it became a little strange."

"Oh? What's strange?"

"He, he stood on the dam, stared blankly at the bottom for a long time, and then kept silently reciting-I understand, I understand."

Understood?

What did he understand?

But he watched a flood discharge. The scene was very familiar to people near Sanjiangkou. He took a look and understood what did he understand?

Could it be that what he understood caused him to kill him?

I couldn't help but look back at Pei Yuanhao.

His face remained unchanged, but I could clearly feel his breath tense up, as if something was expanding in his consciousness and was about to burst out.

But after looking at me, he still said nothing and turned his gaze to one side.

I took a deep breath, then turned to look at Zong Zheng: "That's it? Did he do anything else?"

"No more. After seeing the flood discharge, he said goodbye and left."

"oh……"

I frowned.

It seems that everything is related to the flood discharge of the Sanjiang Dam. But speaking of it, since I was a child, I have seen flood discharge of the dam. There is nothing strange about it. What did Yang Yunhui see in it?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stand up from the stone and said, "It's getting late, let's go and take a look. Old man, is it going to discharge the flood today?"

Zong Zheng also stood up and said, "It's today. Your Highness is here just right."

|

After meeting him, I threw Pei Yuanhao aside and walked forward hand in hand with him. Although this old man is in his 80s, he is very strong, probably because he lives in such a worldly place, and has no other worries. He walks like a flying without even having to take a cane. I even have to work harder to catch up with him.

Pei Yuanhao and the others were walking a few steps behind us, but they were so sensible that they didn't follow us.

As Zong Zheng walked, he asked me: "Why is Your Highness here today? Your Highness just asked me if I have seen strangers? Did you--"

I said, "Some people have also come here."

He frowned: "Who is there?"

"The old man lives here and may not know what's happening outside. Now that the Central Plains is fighting, His Majesty the Emperor left the capital and set Xi'an Prefecture as the capital. He came to negotiate with our Yan family. The rebels wanted to disrupt the peace talks, and even more wanted to disrupt the situation in Xichuan."

"Oh? There's something like this?"

"I won't say much about their previous methods, but now that they have come here, the emperor and I both suspect that they want to destroy the Sanjiang Dam."

“…”

"So we came here, afraid that they would take action while the dam was discharged."

When Zong Zheng heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

I turned to look at him: "What are the old man laughing at?"

Zong Zheng smiled and said, "Do you think that the Sanjiang Dam is an ordinary house? Or is it just a little thing? Those people want to destroy it? Isn't it that if they send an army to come here with a knife and axe for ten days and half a month, for the dam, it's just a hair."

"The old man is very confident in the dam."

"Of course, after being guarded for so many years, my life is tied to it, and the dam is like my life."

I smiled and didn't say anything.

This old man probably has been here for too long and has become a little stubborn. The changes outside are too big and he doesn't know at all.

However, I am not willing to break his dream like this. As he said, his life is tied to this dam. He thinks it is indestructible, so why should I talk too much?

Next, no one spoke.

The group walked forward quietly, getting closer and closer to the dam. When they arrived at a fork in the road, his adopted son and several granddaughters who had been following us came forward and said, "Father, let's go to drive the horse first."

Zong Zheng nodded: "Go."

They left.

I said, "What are you doing when you drive a horse?"

Zong Zheng smiled: "Does your Highness think that opening the dam to discharge floods is within the capacity of manpower?"

“…”

I hesitated for a while before I came to my senses. No matter what structure the dam has, the force required to open the dam to discharge floods must be very large, of course it is not within the capacity of manpower.

"You have raised horses, just for this?"

"Yes, I have had a few foals this year, but—" he smiled and said, "It's the last year. Those horses have been taken out and sold, so they can buy a few acres of land outside and buy a few rooms."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "They?" I looked at him: "Don't the old man himself intend to leave?"

"I have said that life is all here. If you leave this place, will you still have life?"

"You weren't just--"

"Ha, I just said that I was afraid that I could not keep it because I had no grandson to inherit it, and I was also afraid that a few girls would be delayed here for the rest of their lives. Now there is no need to keep it, they can leave here and live their own lives. As for me, even if I have no responsibility, I am more willing to keep it."

“…”

Looking at the wrinkles on his face, each of them was probably marked by the wind, frost, rain and snow here. As he said, his life was tied to this dam. If he left here, he would probably die.

I looked up at the backs of the women. Although I was wearing thick fur coats, I was still very agile. The youngest one ran a few steps and turned back to Zong Zheng and said, "Grandpa, please be careful at your feet. It's raining, don't slip."

Zong Zheng waved his hand, and the woman turned around and ran away again.

I smiled and said, "Your granddaughters are very sensitive."

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes also smiled a little deeper and said, "With these girls, life is not that difficult. But it was okay when I was a child, but now I have grown up and it is not so easy to manage. Instead, we are going to be controlled by them."

I smiled and said, "Shu has always been the head of women. Otherwise, how could it be called the Kingdom of Women?"

“…”

It turned out that I was just a joke and had no other meaning, but after hearing this, Zong Zheng suddenly stopped.

I turned to look at him: "What's wrong with the old man?"

He said: "When Your Highness said this, I remembered that the young man named Yang said something strange before leaving."

Yang Yunhui?

When I heard this, I was immediately excited and asked hurriedly: "What did he say?"

Zong Zheng said: "It was after he watched the flood discharge from the dam, that my granddaughters took the horse away. He looked at my granddaughters and said, "No wonder, Xichuan is the country of daughters."

“…”

I couldn't help but frown.

If this seems to be nothing important in normal times, even the letter Yang Yunhui wrote to Yang Jinqiao specifically recorded his behavior of seeing a woman from Shu who was tough and beat or scolding her husband. At that time, he seemed to be very yearning for such a old life.

But, if this sentence was said after he saw the flood discharge from Sanjiang Dam...

What does it mean?

Suddenly, Wenhu's voice came from behind: "Your Majesty!"

When we looked back, Pei Yuanhao almost fell down for some reason. Fortunately, the servant beside him immediately supported him. His face was a little pale. After standing firm, he immediately pushed away the hands of those people.

I glanced at him and didn't say anything.

At this time, Zong Zheng pointed ahead, his face was reflected by the sunlight and smiled: "Here!"

I turned my head and saw a tall embankment ahead.

This dam extends from the mountains on both sides and runs across the river. The peaks on both sides rise into the sky. With clouds and mist, the dam is like two huge palms descending from the sky, cutting off the entire river in the waist, then closing it, tightly locking the river water upstream. At this time, the water level is already very high, almost flush with the gate of the dam. The breeze blows gently, and ripples appear on the water surface, reflected by the sunlight, reflecting starlight.

Zong Zheng took us to the dam.

In fact, I saw this dam when I was a child, but for some reason, I feel even more shocking when I see it now than when I was a child.

This dam is not only long, but also very wide, enough for more than a dozen horses to ride side by side. The flat road is paved with huge rocks, and it is staggered and the mud poured in the middle locks them firmly, making them even more unbreakable.
