Although it wasn't the time to be amazed, Zhou Qi couldn't help admiring the ingenuity of the ship after hearing about it.

Looking at the five-sail design that is obviously different from other giant ships, the armor that can be turned over, and the internal craftsmanship... It is not difficult to imagine how much effort the princess has spent on this ship. This boat was given to the emperor to celebrate his birthday. This filial piety is earth-shattering. I don’t know what the emperor will look like when he finds out...

Without further ado, they split into two groups, and Wu Heng spent money to encourage people to recruit people.

But Zhou Qi went to find the local prefect. The prefect of Huaihe is actually the one who is most grateful to Gong Yimo, because in her plan, Huaihe will be used as a transfer between the north and the south in the future. One can imagine how prosperous the two sides of the Huaihe river will be in the future.

So when he heard Zhou Qi's request and knew it was what the princess meant, he risked offending the emperor and quickly ordered people to beat drums and gongs to spread the word!

"The crown prince is dying, but he was dismissed, and he has to rush to the capital to plead guilty! Is there any reason for this?"

After receiving the money, coupled with the anger in their hearts, and the acquiescence of the local prefect, all the storytellers spared no effort!

"The poor princess vomited blood because of the petty anger in the capital, and she was still worried that the prince's body would not be able to withstand the bumps! Now the princess promises that when she reaches Hengshui, the waterway will be cleared, but she is afraid that the giant ship will be too slow to return in time, so she has to hire someone to pull the rope! I am willing to help the princess for those who have received her favor!"

"The virtue of a princess can be touched by the sun and the moon! Now that she has been murdered by a traitor, we civilians must complain for her! I, Liu Qin, will be the first to participate, and I must escort the princess back to Beijing safely!"

"I vow to send the princess back to Beijing!"

But what they didn't expect was that the enthusiasm of the students was even more intense than theirs!

They didn't go to school today, not only signed up for stretching, but also went out to help Zhou Qi lobby the people!

"The princess has a great kindness to our students! Her heart for the country and the people is no less than that of any husband! We are willing to escort the princess back to Beijing! All the students in Huaihe will not be absent!"

"The prince and the princess have done so many good things, but they didn't get the rewards they deserved. Now the canal has been delayed because of those villains fighting for power. It's clear who is good and who is bad! No matter who will build the canal in the future, the old man will only recognize The work of the prince alone!"

"Let's send the princess back to Beijing together! Clarify for the prince! They have no intention of disobedience! They are good people!"

One morning, the people in the city seemed to have gone crazy. Students parading the streets, ordinary people, and even many folk women also signed up one after another, wanting to help this hero among women!

Soon, more and more people stood at the entrance of the vegetable market. Zhou Qi was stunned. He didn't expect the princess to have such an appeal!

Wu Heng brows with joy! His shrewd eyes immediately focused on those students. Their status as scholars is the highest. Maybe they can help the princess when they arrive in the capital!

So he bowed again and again, looked at the emotional crowd, and said earnestly.

"I never thought that the people of Huaihe River are all righteous people! Today, the prince and princess were wronged and wanted to return to Beijing immediately. I thank everyone for standing here, but I hope to choose famous and capable people to go with me. I don’t blame you for being able to contribute a small amount of strength when the Son of Heaven is furious.”

Many common people felt regretful when they heard that they might not be able to stretch for the princess, but they were not angry. They knew very well that only people like students, doctors, and teachers have weight in what they say!

A student said, "From the Huaihe River all the way up, there are still many towns to go through. My son is not talented. I would like to go to the lower city first and persuade other students to go with me!"

In this way, some people have been lobbying students all the way to stretch for the prince and princess, how many people should there be in the capital!

When Wu Heng heard this, he was so excited that he bowed to the end!

"That's it, thank you for your righteousness! Students, please leave immediately, they... will be here soon!"

The head of the students is a gray-haired teacher. He stands here aboveboard because he really thinks that the prince is a good prince and deserves him to do so.

He said loudly, "Sir, please let me change clothes later, and then gather by the river! Pull the crown for the prince!"

Some common people said, "We are also willing to follow the ship and wait for orders!"

Wu Heng only felt a surge of righteousness surging in his chest, which he couldn't suppress! He bowed to the bottom again, then raised his head suddenly, pointing his finger in one direction!

"After that hour, I will be at the Huaihe Wharf, welcoming you all!"

So when Chang Xi and the others arrived at the Huaihe River, it was too late to be shocked by the huge monster in the river! I was frightened by the dense crowd of people on both sides of the strait.

What's even more strange is that they are all dressed in student formal attire, long-sleeved Confucian shirts with sky blue and white background, and square student caps. They are waiting there, as if to welcome them.

After Chang Xi was taken aback for a moment, he asked the person standing at the front with some annoyance, "What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here?"

When Wu Heng faced this number one master in the university, he was still a little scared, but at this moment, thousands of students were supporting him, so he was confident enough!

"Eunuch, please look!"

He pointed to the huge ship not far away! "This ship! It took the princess more than a year to build a huge ship! Originally, the princess wanted to dedicate this ship to His Majesty on His Majesty's birthday. Now... since the father-in-law is eager to return to Beijing, it has become a ship. I bought the best means of transportation, after all, it is big and stable, and it is most suitable for the current prince and princess to recover from their injuries..."

"As for these people..." Wu Heng said with a smile, "They are all people who are grateful for the kindness of the prince and princess. They heard that His Majesty made an urgent move, but the big ship was moving slowly, so they spontaneously organized themselves and were willing to open the way for the ship!"

Chang Xi moved his mouth, his face was very ugly, finally he pointed to the scholars in front of him and said, "They don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, how can they stretch?"

"And us!"

At this time, many migrant workers came from afar, all of them wore linen shorts, clean and energetic! "We are also willing to go together! Open the way for the giant ship!"

At this time, the head of the students also bowed, "Although we have no power to restrain the chicken, our hearts are sincere, and we can show the sun and the moon. I hope the adults will not stop us, and let us students be sincere!"

When he said this, all the students bowed down, how could Chang Xi have anything to say? After all, the high status of these scholars is far from being able to suppress them all by a single eunuch.

Thinking of the little princess who is still in a coma, Chang Xi let out a long sigh, acquiescing...

Everyone is beaming! They all took their places.

Boat! It's time to start!

On both sides of the giant wheel, each scale is tied with a hemp rope dyed blue, with 500 ropes on the left and right, spreading out on both sides, like the two wings of the giant wheel!

And part of the forbidden army stood at the front, with students in the middle, and farmers at the end, following an order!

"Call!"

The ropes are all straightened immediately! The scales are all turned over! Shining brightly in the sun!

It moves! Like a giant beast! Majestic and domineering driving a huge body! The people on both sides of the strait are escorted, and the Taotao Lake is behind it. It is such a clear standard! It seems to represent the times! It is slowly opening up!
