Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

  Chapter 459 This will not work

  Wei Zhongming felt that his flattery to Su Ying was a bit too natural.

  He kept telling himself that this is a counterfeit, so there is no need to be afraid of her!

   "Wei Zhongming."

   "Yes, empress, what are your orders?" Wei Zhongming bowed to Su Ying, he was so flattering, he just wanted to numb Su Ying and prevent her from discovering his flaws!

   "Being good these days."

  The corners of Wei Zhongming's mouth almost reached his ears, "Your Majesty praised me absurdly. It is the duty of a subordinate official to think about the common people."

  Su Ying raised her eyelids and glanced at him. Wei Zhongming really looked like an upright official, with a thin and small body. If it weren't for the fleshy cheeks, he really looked like a human skeleton.

   Just by looking at this appearance, it really doesn’t look like someone who dared to hack the imperial granary.

  What she said just now is not a lie, Wei Zhongming's working ability is indeed good, otherwise, based on his humble background, it is impossible for him to climb to this position without any ability.

   "I heard that at the beginning of the disaster, some people went to the government to suggest to you that you should introduce Nanshui to relieve the emergency of the disaster. Is there such a thing?"

  Wei Zhongming's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Go back to your mother, but there is such a thing, it's just that this will not work at all."

   "Oh? Why?"

  Wei Zhongming took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table, then pointed at a mountain range on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

"There are mountains connecting Luocheng and the Nanjiang River. If you want to bring the water from the Nanjiang River, you have to bypass these mountains. How much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent on this. Luocheng has been protected from the impact of the disaster. If Luo City can't afford to spend a lot of money to dig mountains and channels."

  Su Ying saw that what Wei Zhongming said was pertinent, and imagined that if this was an easy move, he would have no reason to refuse, after all, it was his who made political achievements.

  She looked at the mountains on the map, and suddenly thought of a good way to relieve the disaster, but this method still needs further confirmation from her to know whether it will work.

   "Where is this place?"

   "It's at the junction of Lincheng and Luocheng, it's actually not far away."

  It was already dark when Su Ying finished asking about the detailed geological conditions of that area.

   "Ma'am, why don't you have dinner first after you've been tired all day?" Zhou Qing stepped forward and asked softly.

Today, after Su Ying left the city, he ate some dry food in the afternoon. Zhou Qing couldn't imagine that a delicate person like the queen could ride a horse, climb a mountain, and even she was so tired that she could not blush and her heart beat. She sincerely admires the queen, she is really thinking about the common people.

   "Well, serve it up."

   "Your Majesty, take your time eating, and the next official will leave."

   "Back off."

"yes."

  After Wei Zhongming withdrew, Zhou Qing came into the room with the food box.

   "Master Wei is really quick-witted."

   Zhou Qing put the food on the table, a total of two dishes and one soup.

   A bowl of bean sprouts and egg drop soup, as well as a scrambled egg and a stewed radish meat.

This dish looks simple and unpretentious, but the bean sprout soup is made of thick chicken soup, with meat in the egg, and the last fried meat is boneless fish. At this juncture, you can still eat fish. Well, even if it is a wealthy family, it is difficult to eat a bite of fresh fish in this situation, but Wei Zhongming got it for Su Ying.

  Su Ying won't make trouble with food, Wei Zhongming will just teach him a lesson afterward.

   Zhou Qing stood on the sidelines and watched Su Ying's eating movements become more and more familiar.

  She thought that maybe she was thinking too much. Why did some words and deeds of the palace in front of her look similar to the son?

   What's more, she hasn't seen the son since the queen appeared.

   Zhou Qing thought of a possibility, but she didn't dare to think about it deeply, that's not what she should know.

   After eating, Su Ying simply washed up and lay down on the bed. Tomorrow, she will get up early to go to the mountains to check the situation.

   Zhou Qing put down the bed curtain, blew out the lights in the house, and retreated.

  The next morning, Su Ying left the city after having breakfast.

  Looking at Su Ying's running back, Wei Zhongming became more and more sure that Su Ying was a counterfeit. Which queen did it by herself like her?

  The mountains on the map are located about 30 miles away from Los Angeles. As soon as they left the city, they found that there were many victims outside the city.

   "Find an open space to settle the victims who rushed over today, and don't let them make trouble."

   "Yes, ma'am."

  Su Ying drove the horse and led the people to the foot of the mountains thirty miles away.

  Su Ying took out the binoculars and looked at the mountains, frowning.

   "Nanjiang is behind these mountains?"

  The little official who led the way for Su Ying replied: "Yes, it is behind these mountains, which is why it is so difficult to bring the water from the South River over."

   "Then you want to go to Nanjiang, which road do you usually take?"

   "That area, that area has official roads, just walk around the foot of the mountains."

  Su Ying turned his horse's head and walked towards the official road, "How long will it take to reach Nanjiang by taking the official road?"

   "Five days, seven days if it is fast, or half a month if it is slow."

   "However, even half a month is better than no water at all. There are many victims fleeing the disaster going there. At least there is a glimmer of life."

  Su Ying nodded slightly, reined in the horse and stopped, and said to the little official who led the way: "Are you familiar with this mountain?"

   "Go back to your mother, I have lived in this village at the foot of the mountain since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this place. Ma'am, look at where you want to go, and this little one will take you there."

   "Take me from the mountains to the Nanjiang River."

"Mother, I'm afraid there will be beasts in this mountain. It's too dangerous." Zhou Qing said worriedly. Now that the surrounding area of ​​Luocheng is dry, not only people are short of water, but animals are also short of water. They will also find ways to go to places with water Go, at this time, there is a great possibility of encountering beasts when walking on the mountain road.

   "We have a lot of people, don't be afraid, hurry up and go up the mountain."

"yes."

Fortunately, the mountains in this area are not too steep, and horses can still walk, but the speed of walking is still much slower. They didn't reach the halfway up the mountain until dark. The night road is not easy to walk, so they can only find a place to stay temporarily. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning.

  Su Ying leaned against a tree to adjust his breath, Zhou Qing waited aside with a water bag and dry food.

  She made the fire a little bigger, in case any wild beasts attacked.

  Su Ying took a deep breath, let the breath travel to the whole body, and opened up the blocked meridian, so as to relieve fatigue and enhance Yang Qi.

  After a quarter of an hour, Su Ying slowly opened her eyes and asked the guards to get some wet soil to surround the fire to prevent the mountain fire from being blown by the mountain wind at night.

   "Mother, let's eat something." Zhou Qing handed the hot steamed buns and jerky to Su Ying.

  Su Ying took it and ate it directly into his mouth.

  The night on the mountain was colder. As soon as she was full, Su Ying leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep. She yawned and closed her eyes slowly.

   Within a short while, all the accompanying guards fell asleep, and Zhou Qing also fell asleep at Su Ying's feet.

  The only sound left in my ears was the "crackling" of the branches in the fire.

  At this moment, a sleeping figure stood up in the darkness.
