Chapter 188

The rain was misty, like smoke and fog. An oil-black carriage drove slowly through the city gate. Yun Xueyao slightly opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. Although she had been in Wuzhou for some time, she was almost in the palace every day and rarely went out. Now looking at the people coming and going outside, Yun Xueyao was shocked and trance in her mind, as if she had returned to the city of Chengzhou that day.

"It's windy outside. Be careful to catch a cold." Feng Mo said on one side and handed over a hot tea.

As soon as Yun Xueyao was about to put down the curtain, she heard a sudden noise outside. Yun Xueyao was stunned. She instinctively looked outside and saw several ragged victims lining up beside the simple supported tents in the drizzle.

The children who followed the adults were all shivering with cold.

Yun Xueyao looked at it and felt flustered. Without saying anything, she put down the curtain in silence.

"What's the matter?" King Xiang looked at her and finally asked, "but I think it's wrong for me to cook porridge here."

"Your Highness is very thoughtful." Yun Xueyao shook her head, "but Xueyao is now down and out. It's hard to avoid feeling depressed when seeing these people. Please forgive me, your highness."

He was silent for a moment and said comfortingly, "you are different from them. In the future, you will be a new starting point in the palace. You don't have to think too much about the past."

"Thank you, your highness. Xueyao understands." yunxueyao also managed to squeeze out a smiling face.

There was a moment of silence, and all they could hear was the rustle of the rain beating on the top of the carriage.

"Your Highness, there is a lake ahead. The mountain road is difficult here. Can the carriage stop here?" Chang Huan's voice came from outside.

Feng Mo opened the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, nodded and jumped out of the carriage neatly.

Although the lake is not vast, it has twists and turns, and can't see the edge at a glance.

Rainbow came forward and carefully held an umbrella for Yun Xueyao. Several people walked all the way towards the lake. Feng Mo stretched out his fingers to the lake in front and said, "although these water surfaces are not wide, they are very narrow and long. According to your opinion, how many ships can be suitable."

Yun Xueyao stood high, looked at the water surface a year ago for a moment, thought about it, and said, "Your Highness, although the ships sailing on the water are similar to the carriages on the street, they are not exactly the same."

"What does this mean?" Feng Mo didn't seem to understand.

Yun Xueyao looked back at him, pointed to the water in front of him and said: "Your Highness, you see, those places are obviously much narrower than other places. Usually, the water depth of these waters must be different. The size of ships has a great relationship with the water depth. If the lake is not deep enough, big ships can't sail. Similarly, if the water surface is too deep, it's not appropriate to use small ships."

Although Feng Mo has long known that Yun Xueyao is the Pearl of the cloud king and has a high prestige in the cloud country, apart from her Princess identity, there must be other reasons, such as the weapon development that the cloud country is good at. Yun Xueyao is indeed a leader.

"I'm ashamed to say that although this water area is within the scope of Wuzhou, there are few ships in our Wuzhou army on the water surface for so many years, so I actually know nothing about the depth of this water surface." Feng Mo was ashamed when he said this.

Because Wuzhou is above the water surface, it has been peaceful for so many years. It is inevitable that it is not interested in this water area, so the words of Fengmo are actually expected by Yun Xueyao.

Therefore, as soon as the other party's voice fell, Yun Xueyao took a few steps towards the front and looked at the mountains and peaks not far away. Suddenly, his eyebrows jumped, stretched out his hand and pointed not far ahead, saying, "Your Highness, look over there, it seems like someone else."

Feng Mo looked at the past along his eyes. Sure enough, he saw several grass houses found in the mountain depression not far away. He also nodded: "it seems that there are several places. Xueyao doesn't mean to visit them. Maybe there will be a harvest."

Yun Xueyao nodded: "these people live by the lake all year round. They must be more familiar with the water depth here than others."

"What you said is, I'll send someone to inquire." Feng Mo also agreed to nod.

Yun Xueyao looked at the grass house in front of her. Suddenly her heart moved and said, "no, maybe I suddenly have a better way."

With a confident smile, Feng Mo was stunned by his words.

……

Early in the morning, Feng Mo and Yun Xueyao stood in the yard and looked at the direction of the gate of the yard.

Before long, I saw Chang Huan leading some old people in.

Everyone was in front of them. Several old people looked very old. Obviously, they had never entered the palace. After entering the door, they all dared not look up and followed Changhuan honestly.

"Your Highness, princess, people are here." Changhuan stood these people in the yard, arched his hands to King Xiang and said.

King Xiang waved and motioned him to step back.

"I don't want to see your highness King Xiang soon." seeing that several old people in front of me just looked at the ground with low eyebrows and didn't remember to salute, Changhuan couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

A few people were surprised and reacted. When they were about to salute, Feng Mo opened his mouth and said, "you old men are old. Don't be polite. Come and watch."

Immediately, the bodyguard moved several chairs forward. They looked at each other for a moment. Finally, after thane, they sat down carefully.

Feng Mo looked at the old people in front of him. Seeing that they were all in panic, he waved his hand and held back the guards standing in the yard. After a brief pause, he said in a warm voice: "don't be nervous, sir. I invite you to come here today. In fact, there are some things that need to be consulted."

Several old people lived all their lives, but they didn't expect that the flood destroyed the house and almost starved to death. If your highness hadn't set up porridge to save them, how could they live to this day, not to mention that one day, they would be able to enter the palace and sit opposite the King's highness. At the moment, several old people are confused in their mind and haven't reacted. At the moment, they hear the king's tone is gentle, This is just a little relieved.

One of them stood up and arched his hands and said, "Your Highness is polite. If your highness hadn't set porridge to save the flood at home, our old bones would have starved to death in the mountain. What your highness wants to know today, our old bones naturally know everything."

Feng Mo nodded lightly when he heard the speech and nodded in the direction of Yun Xueyao road.

Yun Xueyao came forward and said, "several old men have lived in the mountain depression by the lake for a long time. I heard that they often sailed on the lake earlier. I don't know if it is true."

"I dare not deceive the highness of the princess," she replied, "living on the surface of the lake and living on the lake."

Yun Xueyao nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "in that case, I don't know if you can know, where is deep and shallow on the lake? Where has there been a vortex and when the water rises most."

After that, he unfolded the drawn lake map in front of several people and said politely, "this is the lake map drawn by the Japanese palace yesterday. Please mark the location of water depth and shallow water. I wonder if you can."

Rainbow also hurriedly came with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and several people came together.

"Although this place is narrow, it has a big vortex, and the water in it is not shallow." an old man said definitely after reading the drawing carefully.

Another person nodded again and again: "yes, especially when the water rises in summer, it's dangerous."

"Yes, yes," the others echoed.

"And these places are not shallow."

"Yes, yes."

After several discussions, he finally marked the position of the water above the water surface. When Feng Mo saw that it was done, he also nodded slightly.

After marking, Yun Xueyao took these drawings and handed them to Feng Mo next to her.

I looked back at the old people in front of me, thought about it, and said to Yan, "I just mentioned that when I was young, I went fishing and boating on the lake, but I don't know. What do you know about the manufacture of ships?"
