While Cheng Ying was resting, Ye Wuhen made a call to the Emperor, intending to ask how the digging of the ditch was going.

After ringing twice, Emperor Ye Shengtang answered the call.

"Wuhen, how are things on your end? If it really doesn't work, we'll think of another way. Please don't take any risks." Emperor Ye Shengtang asked anxiously as soon as the call connected.

Ye Wuhen smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. We have already patched the loopholes and are on our way here, but we may not be able to get here very quickly."

Upon hearing that the loophole had been patched up, Ye Shengtang exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! You guys are all so capable. I'll reward you handsomely when we get back to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. That's not urgent. I called you mainly to ask if the ditches over there have been dug yet."

"The excavation is complete; all that's left is to lower the pipes," the emperor said with a smile.

"Wuhen, the excavator you guys made is really good. It dug such a big trench in just a few strokes. It's equivalent to a lot of manpower. If it were dug by hand, it would probably take several days to complete."

Upon hearing that the digging was complete, Ye Wuhen quickly said, "Brother! Tell them not to lower the pipes yet. We can redirect the water from here to the other side."

"After we divert the water from this side to the other side, letting the water flow into the river channel first, we'll lower the pipe!"

Emperor Ye Shengtang nodded. Although he didn't know how they had directed the water flow this way, he still said, "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the call, Ye Shengtang instructed his men to stop waiting for a while.

After waiting for about an hour, there was finally movement from Xingyao Mansion. The water was seen rushing rapidly towards them.

Soon, this situation was also noticed, and someone shouted, "Everyone, step back and move to a safe place. Don't come any closer!"

Everyone quickly retreated to a safe place, watching as the water flowed automatically into the newly dug ditch.

The water flowed along the ditch into the river. The ditch was sloped when it was dug, and it became lower as it approached the river mouth.

It took more than twenty minutes for the water to finally drain completely.

Then people were surprised to find that the area that the river had flowed through, which should have been damp, was slowly drying out.

Soon you'll be able to walk freely on it, without worrying about getting your feet covered in mud.

Soon, they heard a child's cheerful voice: "Hahaha, mission accomplished!"

Only then did everyone notice the figures of several children not far ahead.

As they approached, they were Ye Wuhen, Ye Jinxuan, Cheng Ying, Chu Qiao, Shi Mobai, and Liu Haoyang!

Ye Shengtang smiled and looked at them, saying, "You guys have really done a great job this time!"

"The way it allows water to flow automatically and dries the ground quickly is truly amazing."

Ye Shengtang's face was full of satisfaction and praise.

Ye Wuhen smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty flatters me. This is the result of everyone working together to find a solution."

Cheng Ying winked playfully, "Yes, everyone contributed to successfully solving the flood problem this time."

Ye Jinxuan stepped forward and said, "Now we can put the concrete pipes down, and there shouldn't be any more worries about flooding."

Ye Shengtang nodded and immediately arranged for people to place the concrete pipes.

When everyone saw the giant robotic arm lift the concrete pipes high into the ditch and then gently place them into the trench, quickly piecing them together one by one, they were stunned and overwhelmed with wonder.

Such a magical scene would be something that young adults who had never seen anything like it could brag about for a lifetime.

Emperor Ye Shengtang looked at the busy scene and was filled with emotion.

At this moment, the sunlight shone on them, as if gilding them with a golden glow.

Cheng Ying and Ye Jinxuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised joy.

After installing the pipes using a crane, the soil was covered, and then several manhole covers were installed at the leak points to allow water to seep down.

Once everything was arranged, Ye Shengtang and several ministers couldn't wait to board the double-decker bus again, ready to inspect Xingyao Mansion.

Soon, they arrived at Xingyao Prefecture, even though the ground and houses there were very dry.

However, some remnants of the flood remain, with many houses uninhabitable due to prolonged submersion.

This is a real shame; it seems that the houses and city walls here will have to be replanned and rebuilt.

Looking at the severely damaged houses and city walls, Ye Jinxuan suddenly had a bold idea: since the houses and city walls were no longer sturdy, why not demolish them all and rebuild them, and replan the city? That would be a good idea.

So he discussed this idea with his friends!

"What do you think of this place? If it were to be demolished and rebuilt, what good ideas do you have?"

When Cheng Ying heard that a new Xingyao Mansion was to be built, she thought, "That's easy! I have a lot of house plans here." She quickly pulled out a stack of blueprints from her spatial storage and distributed them to a few people for reference.
