Three months ago.

"City Lord, good news! The Weishui River in our Lancheng City has finally been opened!" Lin Yu ran all the way into the City Lord's Mansion.

"Great Elder, slow down, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. Liu Xiao stepped forward to support Lin Yu, who almost fell.

"Your Excellency the City Lord, do you know that this morning, our Weishui River has finally been completely repaired!" Lin Yu shook Liu Xiao's hand excitedly. Old tears in the dim eyes.

"That's it, very good!" Liu Xiao's voice trembled a little excitedly, "In this way, the people of Lancheng will be able to use the water source!"

Liu Xiao immediately ordered the news to spread from the city lord's mansion to spread the good news of the completion of the Weishui River and rejoice with the people.

Almost in less than half an hour, the news spread in the streets and alleys of the city, the drought in Lancheng was saved, the people cheered, and the hearts of the people were excited.

Less than half a month ago, Lancheng was hit by an unprecedented drought. In the past, the people of Lancheng relied on the water diverted by the Huai River to survive, but the drought in this season was the most serious, and even the branches of the Huai River were completely dried up, and not a drop of water could be obtained. If you want to get water, you have to travel thousands of miles to the south every day to get the water source of the main stream of the Huai River.

As a result, the drought spread, and people panicked.

This incident caused the elders of the City Lord's Mansion to panic. If there is no water supply, I am afraid that Lancheng will be greatly affected. In a short period of time, people even drank the urine of their own livestock to quench their thirst. As for those who have no cattle at home to live, they all go up to the mountains and cut down trees, but they chew the green leaves in their mouths to quench their thirst.

Today's plan to alleviate the disaster is to divert the water of the Huai River from the south into Lancheng. The Huai River is higher in terrain, close to Lancheng, take the water here, and repair the Weishui River to Lancheng is more suitable.

Liu Xiao made a decision immediately and ordered the three thousand warriors of Lancheng to go to Xiuhe. He ordered a thousand warriors to take the water of the Huai River back and forth into Lancheng to temporarily relieve the urgent need in the city.

Tens of thousands of people in the city, large and small, have been living on the water obtained by the warriors back and forth for the past half month. Fortunately, these warriors are all masters, and they can travel thousands of miles a day without sweating. Barely enough to make up for the supplies needed in the city.

Today, the Weishui River has finally been opened, so that the drought in the city can be alleviated. Future droughts can also be resolved. It's just that remembering that most of the people in the city who haven't survived half a month have died because of this these days, Liu Xiao feels guilty.

"These days, it's me, the city lord, who has failed to fulfill his obligations and made my people suffer!" Liu Xiao blamed himself.

"How can this be blamed on the city lord?" Lin Yu said, "Natural disasters are not something that can be controlled by human beings. Our people should be grateful to the city lord for thinking about countermeasures in times of crisis and solving problems for the people!"

"No matter what, it is Elder Lin's great achievement at this time, and I am very grateful!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. The city lord said seriously. As an elder of the City Lord's Mansion, thinking about the people and sharing the worries of the City Lord is what we should do, what a merit!"

Lin Yu was polite and bowed down.

"This is the blessing of my Lancheng!" Liu Xiao said happily. Looking up at the sky, I saw the clouds outside the sky, and my heart was very happy.

Back to the inner courtyard. Liu Xiao saw his baby daughter practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Liu Ling was born with a water spirit, but he has a little manly heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is usually spoiled by Liu Xiao, and his big personality is quite manly.

"Dad, accompany me to practice martial arts!" Liu Ling quickly noticed Liu Xiao who was deliberately hiding from the cats on the side.

"Ling'er's eyes are so sharp! Daddy still wondered when Ling'er would find Daddy. Liu Xiao walked out from behind a tree next to him and said with a smile.

"Dad, don't play this boring game anymore. Look at you, I only know that I am busy with government affairs every day, and I am not worthy of playing, and I can only practice martial arts alone in the courtyard every day. ”

Liu Ling rarely saw Liu Xiao. Although Liu Xiao has always doted on his daughter, he stipulates that as long as he is busy with government affairs, he cannot let his family disturb him. Even for Liu Ling, who can trespass anywhere, the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion is also a forbidden place that cannot be set foot in.

"Dad will accompany you more today, seeing that you are now practicing martial arts, it is better to teach you a trick Huoyu. With that, Liu Xiao was about to practice.

"Dad, this has already taught me. Liu Ling said, flipped out a palm, and a sky-piercing fire instantly shattered a beam.

"Ah, yes......" Liu Xiao touched the back of his head, when did he teach his daughter, why can't he remember?

"Dad, you haven't come to practice martial arts with Ling'er for half a month. I forgot what I had taught...... "Liu Ling was a little disgusted.

In the past half a month, she hasn't even seen Liu Xiao's shadow.

"Isn't this a serious drought in the city, Daddy must first deal with the drought, save the people of Li from fire and water, and only after the matter is done can he come to accompany Ling'er. Liu Xiao explained. In the past half a month, in order to build the Weishui River, he has worked almost hard, and he has not slept well for a day.

As for the disaster situation in the city, it has gradually deteriorated in the past half a month, and there are not enough people in the city to help, and he himself has personally gone into battle.

"By the way, Ling'er, then take a look, did your father teach you this trick?"

As he spoke, Liu Xiao used his soul power and spread his arms. A blazing whirlwind appeared behind him, and the whirlwind surrounded Liu Xiao, becoming more and more intense, and soon after, a phantom of a golden bell appeared around Liu Xiao.

"What is this?" asked Liu Ling. She had never seen such a soul technique.

"This is the Fire Phoenix Bell. Liu Xiao said, making the soul power stronger, and in an instant, the phantom of the Fire Phoenix Bell became clearer and clearer, revealing a strong and majestic power.

"Dad, can this soul skill help me defeat my opponent?" asked Liu Ling. The Fire Phoenix Clock seemed to be very bulky.

"This is a defensive soul skill, not for attacking opponents. Liu Xiao said, "Ling'er, why don't you try it, come to attack the Fire Phoenix Bell?"

Liu Ling listened to his father's words, clenched his fists, and slammed into the Fire Phoenix Bell. Almost as soon as she struck the Fire Phoenix Bell, the Fire Phoenix Bell made a deep sound. The sound was audible, but not as harsh as the clash of metal.

"Dad, isn't this Fire Phoenix Bell just a turtle shell, I don't want to learn it, I want to learn the soul technique that can defeat all martial artists!" Liu Ling said.

She is aggressive by nature and does not like the skill of hiding in a bell and being beaten. She believes that if you fight, you should fight directly with the opponent, how can there be any reason to hide in a protective cover!

"Ling'er, you don't understand this. As the saying goes, there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. You may not be able to defeat all the best in the world. When you meet someone stronger than you, you have to know awe and restraint. Sometimes, defense is also the best type of attack. Liu Xiao said.

"Dad, I don't understand what you're talking about. Liu Ling asked, "Since I was a child, I have never lost to anyone except my father." If I just keep hiding in this minute, where is the chance to win others?"

"Maybe when you grow up, you'll understand. Liu Xiao gently stroked Ling'er's head and smiled.

"Speaking of which, Ling'er, do you want to go and see the Weishui River that Daddy has built? This is a huge project that Daddy has worked hard to build for half a month. ”

"No, I don't want to look at the Weishui River. That's it, so my father couldn't come to accompany me for half a month. Liu Ling pouted unhappily.

"Alas, what a child. Liu Xiao sighed.

"By the way, Daddy, take me to eat the chaos in Qiaonan today, right? The chaos there is particularly delicious, since the last time I visited, Ling'er has been thinking about it and wants to go again. ”

"This ......" Liu Xiao was a little embarrassed, "Ling'er, the Weishui River that was only opened today, and the Chaos Shop in the south of the bridge, I'm afraid there is not enough water supply these days, and the chaos business has been put on hold for a long time......

"Ahh With that, Liu Ling took a bag of broken silver from his father's waist and went out happily.

"This kid ......" Liu Xiao didn't know what to say.

Not long after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Lingzuo walked around and walked around, but he didn't see anything good. Many shops have no supply due to the lack of water these days, so they naturally can't afford to open a wine business. Many shops have closed. Liu Ling was very disappointed.

"Eh, why doesn't she seem to be short of water or money?" Looking at Liu Ling's very white face, several children were surprised how Liu Ling could have water to wash her face.

Liu Ling was about to walk forward, but was stopped by them: "Stop, where are you? You only got the Weishui River today, where did you get the water?"

They spotted a water bag pinned to Liu Ling's waist and stepped forward to ask.

"Of course there is water in our City Lord's Mansion, why are you staring at me?" Liu Ling replied angrily.

"The City Lord's Mansion actually has enough water, and who are you?" the children asked.

"I'm Liu Ling, and the city lord is my father!" Liu Ling raised his head proudly.

"Are you the young city lord?" the children looked Liu Ling up and down incredulously. It seems to be the same thing. Liu Ling's whole body does not have the same rustic atmosphere as theirs, and there is a different temperament in his gestures.

"But why should we be thirsty when the city lord's mansion has water to drink?" said one child, a little unconvinced.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Ling glared at him, "My father has given you a lot of water in the house. We only have a part of it in our house. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Heh, where is the little bit from your city lord's mansion enough for us to drink. Besides, the water that was distributed was divided by the strong people, and my mother couldn't grab it, and she died of thirst a few days ago!"

"What's the matter with us? It's not that our City Lord's Mansion wants Lancheng to be in trouble, and it's not that my father made your mother die of thirst, if you want to drink water now, go to the Weishui River to get it!"

With that, Liu Ling was about to walk away.

"Wait a minute!" the children stopped her, "since there are ready-made ones, what are we going to do in the Weishui River?"

Several people stared at the water bag on Liu Ling's waist.
