Chapter 146: In the Name of the Heavens (1) By this time, the smoke had already dispersed and everyone only gave a glance, afraid to look further. It was only then that they discovered that on the other side of the river, there was only a single girl sitting on a boulder.
She stuck a sword in the boulder, her head resting against the handle like she was sleeping. Even the shouts and screams couldn"t wake her earlier. She suddenly appeared in front of everyone like the miracle that happened in front of them earlier. Her mysteriousness made others feel afraid.
More and more people came, and the sun gradually rose higher and higher.
The local governor felt like he saw this girl from somewhere before, but because of the shock from the scene in front of him, he couldn"t stand up for a long time.
The moment the first beam of sunlight landed on her, that fairy-like girl"s eyelashes trembled slightly.
No one dared to breathe loudly. Instead, they carefully kneeled in front of her quietly, afraid to wake her.
At last, Gong Yi Mo opened her eyes.
Seeing so many people in front of her, she wasn"t the slightest bit surprised. Her calm eyes swept across the crowd, gaining an approximate estimate on the number of people.
At this moment, she took out a gold medallion from her clothes. That was Xu Yuan"s prince medallion. From today on, Hengshui"s officials will be commanded by her!
Quite a few people looked at the gold medallion in her hands with confusion. Isn"t that the Prince"s medallion? Shouldn"t it be with Xu Jianzhang? Why is it in the hands of this little girl?
"Have you all ever heard this line before?"
Gong Yi Mo opened her mouth to speak. Although she didn"t declare loudly, her use of internal energy caused every one of her words to resonate into the people"s ears, allowing them to hear her clearly.
The workers were still in a daze; they weren"t sure if this strange and mysterious girl was an immortal from the heavens.
Some people returned to their senses. While they wondered what her words were referring to, the princess continued to speak.
"The one who repairs the ca.n.a.l… will rule all under the heavens!"
Her words caused the dazed crowd to snap back to reality. That"s because they didn"t dare to say such a brazen line lightly, especially since they weren"t too far from the capital where the emperor resided. A few days ago, there was a man who was penalized with 40 las.h.i.+ngs by Xu Jianzhang for mentioning this sentence. Xu Jianzhang even said that those who mention this topic will have their blood cover the ca.n.a.l. Thus, no one dared bring this subject up again.
They didn"t dare to say it publicly, but that didn"t mean they wouldn"t discuss it in private. That"s why when Gong Yi Mo mentioned it so openly, their reactions were very exaggerated. The more it was suppressed, the more it would spread.
Gong Yi Mo stood up on top of the boulder, and looked down at the people from above.
"The one who repairs the ca.n.a.l would rule all under the heavens!" She smiled widely, "As early as a few days ago, G.o.d let the Crown Prince unearth this cauldron. This is G.o.d"s fortune, G.o.d"s will!
"It is G.o.d using the Crown Prince"s hands to compliment the Emperor, repairing the ca.n.a.l, ruling all under the heavens! However…" Gong Yi Mo let out a long sigh, "the Crown Prince was falsely accused by someone, saying that the cauldron was a sign that he wants to overthrow the heavens! Now, the Crown Prince was even attacked and his life lies in the balance. Therefore, when the Emperor ordered him to return to the capital, the Crown Prince was declared guilty for disobeying imperial commands since he couldn"t move. The ca.n.a.l that could"ve been completed in a few months has also been delayed, receiving G.o.d"s fury!"
Gong Yi Mo pointed at the large hole in the ground and smiled, "That"s why G.o.d sent down a bolt of lightning, so that we could continue making the ca.n.a.l! This is the best evidence!
