The two were arguing constantly, General Qu saw that the two were so confrontational, he couldn't bear it, so he interrupted the quarrel, "Actually, I can understand the words on it, and I know the method to break the moat mechanism, but ..." At this point, General Qu looked at King Zhen and Her Majesty the Queen, and saw that they were still targeting each other. If the two of them continued like this, it would be difficult to crack the mechanism of the moat.
When King Zhen and His Majesty the Queen heard that General Qu said that there was a way to crack the mechanism of the moat, their eyes lit up and they opened their mouths at the same time.
"any solution?"
"What method?"
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other, neither of them convinced.
Seeing this, General Qu sighed helplessly, and said with a glimmer of hope: "This method is actually not very clear, but it says that if someone activates the mechanism one day, but does not want to give up easily, as long as the royal family of Nanchu If all the people are united, we can work together to stop the mechanism." General Qu continued after a pause. "This means that only King Zhen and His Majesty the Queen can work together to crack this mechanism. As for the specific method, I think you two should have some ideas." After General Qu finished speaking, he looked at King Zhen and His Majesty the Queen expectantly. , I hope that the two of them can think about the country of Nanchu, temporarily put aside the grievances accumulated over the years, and first solve the immediate urgent needs.
However, King Zhen and Her Majesty the Queen have been fighting tit for tat for many years. It may take a lot of effort to get the two to work together.
When King Zhen heard General Qu's words, he felt very entangled. She and Her Majesty had a deep grudge. If she was asked to put down her face and ask for joint efforts to crack the mechanism, Her Majesty would ride on her head in the future, so she would never Compromise first.
And Her Majesty the Queen is even more proud. She is a noble Her Majesty the Queen, and she has never been at odds with King Zhen. If she let go first, maybe King Zhen will do something excessive in the future, so Her Majesty the Queen is not willing to compromise first.
Seeing that the two men showed no signs of compromise, General Qu felt extremely distressed, "You two, the people of Southern Chu are now facing a critical moment of life and death. If you two don't think about it, Southern Chu will be submerged in floods. And there is a deadly poison hidden in this flood, when the time comes, thousands of people in Southern Chu will undoubtedly die, and the mountains and rivers will be gone, so why are you two arguing about it?"
King Zhen and Her Majesty the Queen are not people who ignore the overall situation. After hearing General Qu's words to this point, they also knew that they could not drag on any longer, so the two of them coincidentally found a way to crack the mechanism.
"Found it!" Her Majesty touched a totem behind the stone gate.
King Zhen and General Qu immediately walked over and took a closer look. It turned out to be a gossip totem, but no matter how much Her Majesty the Queen pressed it, the stones around the totem were normal and there was nothing special about it.
Seeing that the flood was about to flood, the three of them thought about it, but they couldn't solve the gossip formation.
This time, General Qu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, Shimen said that the royal family must work together to crack it. Then the only special thing about your Southern Chu royal family is blood relationship. You can see if you can use blood to open this mechanism." .”
"Yes, why didn't we think of it." Her Majesty the Queen said in surprise.
So King Zhen and Her Majesty the Queen sacrificed one side of the gossip with blood, and the gossip totem went down automatically, and the water level of the moat stopped rising.
The crisis in Nanchu was finally resolved, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
General Qu's heart can finally be relieved, "Thanks to Her Majesty the Queen and King Zhen this time, on behalf of the thousands of people in Nanchu, I would like to thank you both."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded, but King Zhen didn't say anything, but just looked at the landscape of Nanchu silently.
"Thank you." After a while, Her Majesty the Queen said lightly, if she and King Zhen hadn't been able to put aside the past and work together this time, I am afraid that the country of Nanchu would not be able to keep.
King Zhen still didn't speak, no one knew what was on her mind hidden in her cold eyes.
Even though the water level of the moat has stopped rising now, if there is a heavy rain when the water level is already so high, if it continues to rise, the flood may still erupt, and Nanchu is still in danger, so Her Majesty the Queen asked someone to discuss How to dispose of the water in the moat.
In the imperial study, several ministers trusted by Her Majesty the Queen discussed how to deal with the water in the moat. Of course, General Qu was among them.
An old minister with a gray beard said: "Your Majesty, I think that when dealing with the water level of the moat, we should focus on dredging. If we just blindly block it without dredging it, the flood will burst one day." Your Majesty the Queen I agree very much.
But another younger man said: "Your Majesty, what Master Li said is indeed reasonable, but we have just passed through a crisis in Southern Chu, and the guards in the royal city have already been reduced, and there are still many soldiers in the camp a little farther away." How can we have enough manpower for such a large project to carry out tasks in the city and dredge the moat?"
"Such worries are not unreasonable. Which minister has a solution that can achieve the best of both worlds?" Her Majesty the Queen asked heroically.
But this problem stumped the ministers, and they couldn't think of any perfect solution for a while.
Seeing that General Qu seemed to have something to say, Her Majesty asked, "General Qu, what plan do you have?"
General Qu bowed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't have any better solution, but I have a word, maybe your Majesty, you can think about it."
Her Majesty was noncommittal, as if she had already guessed something, "General Qu may wish to speak directly if he has something to say."
General Qu said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the moat is about to burst that day, can Your Majesty still remember the words on the stone gate?"
"I remember." Her Majesty replied lightly.
"That's the advice left by the ancestors to the younger generations. It was because of you and King Zhen's concerted efforts that day that the mechanism was cracked. Doesn't that explain something?" General Qu said earnestly.
I saw a complex expression in Her Majesty's eyes, "I see, let's do it today, I will give your proposal a serious consideration."
General Qu glanced at Her Majesty's expression, but couldn't figure out what Her Majesty was thinking, so he had to leave first, and all the ministers also left one after another.
