Chapter 147: In the Name of the Heavens (pt.1 & 2)

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?"nove(l)bi(n.)com

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.

Gong Yi Mo smiled, the wind lifted her hair revealing her almost transparent skin, glowing under the morning light!

She knelt on one knee and solemnly declared to the heavens.

"Those that comply with the wishes of the heavens will naturally reap good fortune and safety!"

After saying so, she waved her small hand, her expression unwavering and serious!

"And so, let us begin!"

With her order, everyone began to move. Many brought their tools with them and hurriedly began to work. Those that didn't bring anything quickly returned home to prepare. Some pushed carts, others plowed, those that herded cattle herded cattle, those that drove horses drove horses. The construction site once again bustled about. However, unlike the previous mission-like approach to working, they were extremely energetic this time around. This was God's will after all!

Gong Yi Mo personally met the local governor Pu Youchang, expressing her gratefulness, "Governor Pu, this little one thanks you greatly!"

Pu Youchang wouldn't dare to have her bow to him so he quickly helped her up. He was finally able to recognize the girl in front of him. It was the famous Chaoyang Princess! He sighed in his heart and said, "Opening the canal is a good thing for the Yu Empire, so even a little governor like me is willing to assist to the best of my ability!"

Gong Yi Mo nodded her head. Even though she was very tired, she was truly grateful!

"Thank you very much! Sadly, time is tight, I cannot chat leisurely with you now. I am going to pick up the Crown Prince to return to the capital. Can Governor Pu watch over here for me and make sure everything is completed?"

(TL: Not sure if it's a typo or something, but I'm going to keep it Governor Pu)

"Of course!"

This incident was quickly spread to the capital! Emperor Gong Sheng almost fell off his chair!

"Alright, alright, are they trying to rebel here?"

"What ordered by heaven, what God's will? This Emperor is God's will!"

Eunuch Chang Xi lowered his head and stood on the side. He persuaded, "Quell your anger, Your Majesty. Perhaps these are just some rumors..."

"Some rumors?" Gong Sheng refuted in anger, "What miracles? What heavenly canal? Aren't these all just that little brat Gong Yi Mo's gimmicks? That thing in her hands is indeed extraordinary! With her intelligence, how could she not know what this Emperor's intention is to order the Crown Prince to return to the capital for? Just refusing to hand it over is fine, but she's still insisting on completing the canal! Does she want to rebel? Repeating that the Crown Prince was wrongly accused over and over again, or is she trying to support the Crown Prince?"
