The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

A row of bamboo bridges have been built on the gentle mountain road. The bamboo bridges are not built along the mountain road, but lead directly to the village. Mu Qingcheng thinks this can increase the speed of the water flow.

A bonfire was burning beside Cuixiantan on the mountain, illuminating the bamboo forest.

A half-meter-high frame was erected on the edge of the pond. Mu Qingcheng directed Fang Qingyun and the carpenter to place the finished pumping device on the frame. A bamboo pipe was inserted into the water, and another outlet pipe extended outside.

Mu Qingcheng personally carried a bucket and poured water into the sealed chamber. The water didn't need to be filled to the brim, just enough to exceed the top outlet, and then blocked the outlet with a plug. Water then flowed out continuously.

The water flowing out of the outlet pipe rushes down along the water bridge.

Everyone didn't know what was happening for a while. They originally thought that the water that was flowing out was the water that Mu Qingcheng poured into the box, but after waiting for a long time and seeing the water flowing out continuously, they realized that the water diversion was successful!

"Look, look! The water is still flowing. It's been like an incense stick's worth of time!"

"Yes, it's amazing! How did this water get sucked up?"

No one could answer! Suddenly, cheers echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Wonderful, wonderful! What a brilliant idea! Which master came up with this idea? It's really brilliant!"

Someone applauded loudly! Mu Qingcheng thought the voice sounded very familiar, but it was too dark to see what the person looked like.

"Who are you...?" Village Chief Fang looked at the group of people coming from a distance in confusion. He felt that this person was very familiar to him.

"Cousin, I'm Axu! Have you forgotten me after not seeing me for so many years?" Fang Xurao walked in front of Village Chief Fang, the firelight reflected on his face.

"Oh!" Village Chief Fang screamed, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Fang Xurao's arm, and almost jumped up with excitement like a child!

"It's Ah Xu, Ah Xu is back! It's been almost thirty years, why did you just decide to come back?"

Fang Xurao's eyes also turned red: "Yes! Yes! It's been all these years, big brother! I'm back!"

"Okay, okay! I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back. Ah Xu, you've grown old too!"

The two of them talked about the past as if no one was around, completely forgetting that there were outsiders here.

The villagers looked at this group of people, all of whom were dressed in gorgeous clothes and did not look like ordinary people. At this time, someone discovered that Fang Heming was also among these people, and hurried over to inquire.

"Master Fang, who are these people?"

Fang Heming first introduced the person next to him: "This is the magistrate of Qingle County, Mr. Zheng!"

Everyone was shocked. It turned out to be the county magistrate. The villagers didn't know whether they should kowtow to him.

"My fellow villagers, I have no official business today. I am here with Heming to visit relatives. Please just treat me as Heming's friend."

The villagers couldn't believe it. They didn't expect Fang Heming to have such a good relationship with the county magistrate.

At this time, an elderly elder walked out of the crowd. He walked up to Fang Heming and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Heming, why does that person talking to your father look familiar to me?"

Fang Heming grinned. "Third Grandpa, you really have a good eye! That guy is my second cousin Fang Xurao! He lived in our village for a while when he was a kid. Don't you remember him?"

When Third Grandpa heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he became excited as if he remembered something: "Oh! I remember now, isn't he the scholar from Fangcheng's family? I didn't expect that guy to be so old!"

Fang Heming couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this: "Third Grandpa, my second cousin is no longer a scholar, he is now the governor of Jiangzhou!"

"What! What!... Mr.... Mr. Governor!" Third Grandpa's voice suddenly became stammering, and he was obviously shocked by the news.

At this moment, the surrounding villagers stood there in shock, as if under a spell. The bamboo forest was completely silent, save for the two brothers chatting animatedly and the crackling of the fire.

Fang Xurao suddenly asked Fang Shuli, "Brother, who came up with this project to divert water down the mountain? Also, who created this device that automatically absorbs water? This is a great achievement. I will definitely report it to the court and reward you handsomely!"

Before Village Chief Fang could introduce herself, Mu Qingcheng walked out of the crowd. She couldn't wait to ask what she wanted to know most.

Why did he come here? Was it for her? Did Yun Qing come here too? At this moment, her heart seemed to be stagnant at the highest point.

Fang Xurao saw a thin young man approaching him. The firelight illuminated her radiant face, her skin as white as jade, her eyes as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. Against the backdrop of the firelight, she looked like a night pearl, radiating a dazzling beauty!

Fang Xurao was stunned on the spot, his heart beating wildly...

"Master Fang, why...why did you suddenly come to Fangjia Village? What's the matter?..." Mu Qingcheng stepped forward silently and asked cautiously. She was afraid that she would guess wrong and be laughed at.

Fang Xurao no longer cared about etiquette. He pushed through the crowd and staggered a few steps.

"Mu, Miss Mu, is it really you? It's really you! You've made the prince... and the young master look for you so hard!..."

The guards behind him rushed over. These were Yun Qing's men. They naturally recognized Mu Qingcheng and knew who their prince was looking for.

Everyone was delighted. They hadn't expected it! It was like searching for something, yet finding it was effortless! They had actually found Master Mu before their own master!

"Greetings, Master Mu!!!" More than a dozen guards knelt down and paid homage in unison!

Mu Qingcheng also recognized two of them; they used to be Yun Qing's secret guards.

"Yunqing, is Yunqing here?" Mu Qingcheng quickly covered her mouth with both hands, afraid that she would cry out loud: "Where is he!"

"Replying to Master Mu, the master is still here..."

"and many more!"

Fang Xurao hurried to stop him! He had recovered as usual, standing with his hands behind his back. The aura around him was so strong that the deterrent power of his authority overwhelmed everyone present.

All the villagers stepped back consciously. The second cousin who had been so amiable just now was no longer there. Standing in front of everyone was Fang Xurao, the prefect of Jiangzhou.

Fang Xurao had no choice but to act. They were being too reckless. He absolutely could not let anyone know the Crown Prince's whereabouts, and certainly not let any unfavorable rumors spread among the people. Therefore, he could only display his authority and suppress the villagers, forcing them to stop speaking carelessly.

The guards knew that they were too impatient and almost exposed their master's whereabouts, so they dared not say a word.

Mu Qingcheng understood, knowing that Yun Qing must have come too, and was probably nearby. She was ecstatic. Fortunately, she didn't leave, because she would have missed Yun Qing by just a little bit.

"Miss Mu, your brother did ask me to find you. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence! How about this: you stay here first, and I'll send someone to notify your eldest brother to come pick you up. What do you think?"

Mu Qingcheng was not unwilling to do so. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Fang! Thank you for your help, Master Fang!"

Fang Xurao waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. Let me and my two guards go to the county town and tell the young master a message!"

Two people stood out from among the guards. They were the two people Mu Qingcheng knew.

"I will do it right away. Please don't leave here until the young master comes to pick you up."

After saying that, the two of them turned around and went down the mountain. In fact, they walked out of everyone's sight, turned around and took the small path up the mountain to find Yun Qing.

The villagers present were all confused and had no idea what was going on. They only knew that this Miss Mu also knew the governor, and seemed quite familiar with him!

Among those present, only County Magistrate Zheng figured it out after a brief moment of reflection. Those burly guards were actually paying homage to a young girl and calling her their master!

There is only one possibility, that this Miss Mu is their master, and Lord Fang is just borrowing her. They are most likely the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the girl in front of them cannot be a princess, because everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only does not like women, he doesn't even get close to his brothers and sisters.

If the Crown Prince, who is not interested in women, went to such great lengths to come here, then this girl is very likely the Crown Prince's ideal woman.

County Magistrate Zheng cleared his mind, tugged at Fang Heming's sleeve, and gave him a wink.

Fang Heming hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Dad, Second Uncle! Let's go home and reminisce about the past! Second Uncle, you've been so tired from the journey that you didn't even have a meal before coming back to the mountains. If there's anything, let's wait until we get home and have dinner before we talk!"

Village Chief Fang finally reacted: "Right, right, right! Oh! Look at my brain, let's go home and talk about it after we get home!"
