Xu Chunlai, the prefect of Yucheng, is carrying an old woman to climb the cliff, and many old and weak women and children gathered on the cliff, they are all stragglers who were separated from their relatives in this flood, and then Xu Chunlai found them, and carried them to the top one by one.

"Lord Xu, take a break, if you continue like this, your body will collapse. Several young women hurriedly pulled Xu Chunlai up the cliff, and some old people went to comfort the old woman who was carried by Lord Xu.

"Out of the way. The middle-aged man gasped, his body was covered in mud and water, he couldn't see his true face clearly, his shoes were full of holes, skinny, and only a pair of eyes showed a sad color.

"My lord, when will the rescue from outside the city come? It's been more than ten days, and the turf on the cliff is about to be gnawed away, and in a few days, I'm afraid I'll have to eat Guanyin soil." Everyone surrounded Xu Chunlai, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, yes, if this continues, Yucheng is afraid that there will not be even a living person left. ”

"I have sent five of the strongest servants out of the mountain to ask for the help of the imperial court, and rest assured that reinforcements will arrive soon. Xu Chunlai hurriedly reassured them.

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of joy. It's just that they never dreamed that after the two flesh-and-blood officials had worked hard to climb over the mountains of Yucheng, what they saw was not the rescue of the imperial court, but the empty imperial tent.

"Dog, has the imperial court given up on us?" a man covered in injuries cried to another man outside Yucheng Mountain.

"I don't know. "The dog was also silent, when they came from Yucheng, there were five people, the road was difficult, the other three were all killed, only two of them survived, but .....

"Shishi, I will hand over all the remaining dry food to you, you go to the capital to move the rescue soldiers, I will go back to Yucheng to explain the situation to Lord Xu, so that he can make plans early. The dog untied the only dry food he had left, and gently tied it to the shoulder of the stone.

"No..... No dry ...... Dry food, you are very capable of a dead end, dog, you ..... You don't want to die. The stone choked up.

"I am a life, but you are burdened with the lives of tens of thousands of people in Yucheng, so ..... Your life is worth more than mine. The man turned, and re-embarked on the thorny path of death, never to look back.

At the beginning of the day, the night is foggy, but the villa is full of color, and the guests are playing hide and seek with the singers, and the laughter is continuous. "Boom!" a loud bang woke everyone up in the villa. "Isn't there a thunder in the sky?" Gao He pulled a pair of hands out of Mai Ji's arms, his face surprised.

"Boom!" Another loud bang, the gate of the villa was opened by fifteen guards with thick wooden stakes, the plaque of the dream villa was smashed down by a sword, the gate also collapsed suddenly, a tall man in black clothes rode a white horse, slowly stepped into the villa, he bent sideways, pulled out the sword inserted in the plaque, the posture was very leisurely, but the expression on his face was very iron-blue, he was followed by a hundred guards, a long train of carriages.

"It's not good, the palace guards are here. Steward Zhang of Rumeng Villa hurriedly ran into the welcome hall.

"Lord Zuo, is this?" Gao He barely calmed down, the news near Yucheng was blocked, the mountain floods have been raging in the past few days, and he has cut off contact with the capital, he also thought that Zuo Xiquan would come back after a long time, and he didn't know that someone had uncovered the emperor's list to come to Yucheng to control the water.

"I'll take the dog's life!" The man in black only raised his foot slightly, and kicked out a mouthful of old blood from the middle-aged man under the horse, and all the officials in the hall hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, panicking.

"Colleagues, you are so interested, the people in Yucheng are in danger, but you outside Yucheng are obsessed with the rich and gentle township, if you don't kill one today, it is not enough to comfort the dead souls of the people of Yucheng. Zuo Xiquan, who was dressed in black, was like Shura alive, he only waved his hand, and after a while, there was an additional corpse outside Rumeng Villa.

"You are just a small disaster relief supervisor, and you dare to kill the disaster relief officer? You are abusing your power in a careless manner, Zuo Xiquan, why are you?" said a small official who was close to Gao He.

"Someone come, carry the sword of Shang Fang. Zuo Xiquan's face was gloomy. In the middle of nowhere, four guards carried out a gold-armored sword from a carriage, and when everyone present saw this scene, they all knelt down to pay homage to the three shouts of long live.

"Tie these people up, take them to Yanjing, and hand them over to Dali Temple for disposal. The man in black commanded.

"Ahem, wait, I don't have some manpower here, can I ask Lord Zuo to lend them to me first?" A girl in black stepped down from the carriage, her face was delicate, her hair was tied up high, her eyes were clear and translucent, she was wearing a black cloak, and her expression was calm.

"Miss Baili is the main general of Yucheng's water control this time, and Zuo naturally obeys the girl's orders. As soon as Zuo Xiquan said this, everyone in Rumeng Villa was stunned, when did the general of the imperial court become a little girl?

"Ahem, who's the steward of Rumeng Villa?" the girl in black looked around.

"Here, I am Zhang Cheng, the housekeeper of Rumeng Villa, what does the girl command?" A hand was raised in the crowd, and it was a middle-aged man with two mustaches on his face and a flattering smile.

"Please send out your best doctor here, treat one of our wounded, and bring all your good food and food, remember, don't serve wine, come, come, come! All the soldiers have worked hard, sit down and eat a full meal, and we will work overtime in the evening." The girl in black smiled and beckoned everyone present to take their seats.

"Hey, little sisters over there, sit down quickly, you must be tired after singing and dancing for so long, drink saliva to moisten your throat first." The girl pointed to the group of dancing girls and invited them to the table with an understanding face. The dancers panicked and looked at Steward Zhang, and when they saw the butler nodding, they dared to take their seats, and the guards also sat down with blank faces.

"The girl is here to relieve the disaster in Yucheng, not to invite someone to eat. Zuo Xiquan's face became even darker.

"If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to work overtime?" The disaster relief is not blown by mouth, the night girl rolled her eyes, he is Chen Mu who has just come out of the cold palace, and he is also a hundred miles of geese in the eyes of the world, when he just stepped into the door of the villa, his stomach was already growling.

"You?" said a man, a foodie, a fool, a man.

The guards carried out a middle-aged man from the carriage, the man was covered in blood, his clothes were full of mud and water, this man was the stone that went to Yanjing City, he had not walked out of more than ten miles, and he met with Zuo Xiquan who was coming, and after informing Zuo Xiquan of the situation in Yucheng, he passed out due to exhaustion.

Rumeng Villa was extremely efficient, and soon, Steward Zhang arranged the stone into a warm pavilion and invited the best doctor in the village for him.

An hour later, when everyone in the villa had eaten and drunk enough, Chen Mu moved his muscles and bones, and then sat on the top of the villa and gave orders, he ordered the male servants of the villa to go to the toilet to carry dung, the guards to chop wood and carry water, and the maidservants and dancers in the villa to go to the fire. Ten minutes later, dozens of cauldrons were set up in the villa, and after boiling the water, the wool dung was also poured into the boiling water, and the disaster relief officials were forced to keep stirring in the pot with a wooden stick, covering their noses with their sleeves one by one, and their faces were painful and hideous.

"You guys are insulting, I won't do it, it's a big deal to kill me. "An official, fed up with the pungent stench, threw a wooden stick into the cauldron, his face full of shame.

"Okay, then I will fulfill you, Lord Zuo, you send someone to kill him, throw the corpse into the mountains and forests, find a place with many wolves and dogs, and when his corpse is gnawed to the bones, then burn his bones with a fire, and scatter the ashes into the mountains, so that he can only be a lonely soul and a wild ghost for the rest of his life, and he can't even be reincarnated. Chen Mu sneered, he had a way to deal with these people.

"Okay, come on. ”

"Wait, I'll do it, can't I do it? Before Zuo Xiquan could finish speaking, the man collapsed to the ground with a handful of snot and tears. After this turmoil, everyone in the villa pinched a cold sweat, the woman in black was not very old, but her methods were a little vicious, and everyone was doing things more and more properly.

After a while, Chen Mu took dozens of guards to the thatched house and courtyard corner of the villa to find a kind of soil, he buckled the ant dung-like soil from the corner of the wall, put it on the burning red charcoal, crackled, the charcoal burst into flames, Chen Mu was overjoyed, there was indeed good nitrate here, and then, he scattered these soil samples to the guards.

"From tonight until tomorrow morning, go and search for as much of this dirt as possible. Chen Mu commanded.

"Yes. The guards dispersed.

"Baili girl, the imperial court sent you here to control the water, but it is not a playhouse, and you have delayed the major events in Yucheng, and you can't save your little life. The man in black leaning on the corner of the wall spoke in a cool tone, he really couldn't understand Baili Yan more and more.

"Don't worry, Lord Zuo, you have your own opinions, but I still have something to ask for, is there anyone around here who is familiar with the terrain of Yucheng?" "Naturally, there is, in that group of disaster relief officials, and I still have a map of the rest of the city. Zuo Xiquan disagreed.

After getting the map, Chen Mu stayed up all night, he carefully studied the drawings under the lamp, and finally circled a red dot, when the rooster crowed, he sent three people to Yucheng, ordering them to find the prefect of Yucheng and inform him that within two days, it is necessary to keep everyone in Yucheng ten miles away from Qiuming Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was slightly bright, and the stench in the villa was still stinking, and the feces had been boiled over and over again, and the bottom of the pot had been boiled out of hoarfrost, which made everyone in the villa miserable, and they had worked all night, and their stomachs were already croaking with hunger.

Chen Mu ordered people to collect the hoarfrost, and then piled a cart of dirt collected by the guards into a cauldron to boil, and after a whole day of work, he finally boiled two jars of hoarfrost.
