The night we slept outside Jinyang City was no longer "bad" to describe. Because of the rain a few days ago, most of the firewood in the woods outside the city was soaked by the rain. In order to raise the fire to resist the cold of the northern night, we walked in the woods for more than an hour, and finally picked up some dry branches and lit the fire. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a sudden heavy rain poured the bonfire drenched. The howling wind tore down our makeshift shed with incredible force, and branches and leaves flew all over the sky.

Shirtless rushed to the bottom of the city with me drenched, and after a few shouts, the gates were still closed. In the midst of the wind and rain, he could only wrap me in his arms and lean against the city gate, trying to use his body to help me resist the cold wind and rain in the middle of the night. I don't dare to say that it is cold, I dare not tremble, I am afraid that if I shout a few times and sneeze a few times at this moment, Yin Duo will have to bear the anger of the uncompassionate tomorrow.

After a while of heavy rain, it gradually became lighter, and the four of us stayed up all night by the city gate.

When the rooster crowed, the city gate behind him moved. He stood up with a loud voice, and before I could see who was coming out of the city gate, he raised his leg and kicked him away.

"Hongyun'er—" I hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his hand that was about to draw my sword, "You hold back your anger for the time being, and wait until you see Yin Duo to make a decision." ”

Wuxian suppressed his anger, grabbed a small soldier casually, and shouted: "Where is Jinyang City Yin now?" Let him come to me right away! ”

The little soldier was stunned by the unsympathetic momentum, and said intermittently for a long time: "The noble man is angry, Cheng Yin is sick, and he hasn't woken up for three days." ”

"Sick? Why didn't you open the gates last night? ”

"There is a decree in Jinyang City, after the day comes, before the rooster crows, you can't open the city gate privately without the permission of the city Yin, and those who violate the order die." The man who had just been kicked away by the shirtless walked over with his stomach clutched.

"This Jinyang City is paralyzed without him, Yin Duo!" Shirtless let go of the soldier's collar and turned his head to shout angrily, "Who are you?" ”

"The head of the Yin Mansion in the city, the name of the man, is here to welcome the envoy." Jia Zai was about to kneel while holding his stomach, but I hurriedly stretched out my hand and grabbed him: "Jia Zai, after mid-day, Zhao's convoy will arrive, you can arrange someone to prepare to pick up the materials first!" In addition, send someone to take me to meet Seong-yin. ”

"Little brother?"

"She is a disciple of Tai Shimo, and the sorcerer Zi is dark." Wuxian glanced coldly and spoke.

"Sorcerer? Sorcerer, save my master! The housekeeper's expression changed, and he fell to his knees suddenly.

"The family slaughtered and said, what's wrong with Cheng Yin?"

"The head of my family collided with the gods when he was building the altar of worship, and he has not woken up for three days. Ask the shaman for help! ”

I looked at Wuxian and I were both shocked.

"I'm here, why don't you go over there and see what's going on?" Shirtless whispered to me.

"Good. Housekeeper, lead the way. ”

I took Si'er and followed the family to Jinyang City. Before, outside the city, I saw that the city walls and towers were intact, and it was an exaggeration to say that the dragons were surging, but now when I entered Jinyang City, I found that the houses in the city were either inclined or down, and the extent of the disaster was far beyond my imagination.

"Ah Shi, this earth dragon is too powerful, how can you make the house like this?" Si'er leaned over to me and whispered.

"Dong Anyu must have spent a lot of effort on the construction of Jinyang City, you see that although the earth dragon is fierce this time, none of the important buildings in the city have been damaged. It is said that more than 200 years ago, in the second year of the reign of King You, Jingshui, Luoshui, Weishui, and the three rivers shook on the same day, lightning and thunder roared, the river flowed backwards, Qishan collapsed, and the city was razed to the ground in an instant. ”

"Is that the king of the princes who lit the Beacon Fire Show?"

"Well, the Youwang is immoral, and the movement of the three rivers is a warning from God. At that time, everyone said that there was an evil dragon living underground, and it would sleep in a peaceful world, and if it encountered troubled times, it would wake up and harm the world. ”

"You mean, the evil dragon that collapsed Qishan is now hiding under Jinyang City?" Si'er's face changed greatly, he jumped on tiptoe for several steps, and stood on a big rock on the side of the road, "What if it wakes up again now?" ”

Jia Zai heard my and Si'er's words clearly, and turned his head with a look of horror.

Seeing this, I hurriedly waved my hand and smiled: "Prime Minister is a sage who governs the world, how can the earth dragon wreak havoc at this time." This surge, maybe it's just a stretch after sleeping for a long time, don't worry too much, it's okay. ”

"Really?" Si'er climbed down from the stone lightly, and the house leader stared at me without blinking his little eyes.

I laughed twice and nodded, "Of course, people have to stretch their waists after sleeping for a long time, and the same is true for earth dragons!" Let's go, let's go! ”

Jia Zai Xuan took us into Yin Duo's mansion in the west of Jinyang City. At this time, inside and outside the courtyard, inside and outside the house, it was crowded with ragged and unkempt victims. Among them were the injured people, the crying children, and the gray-haired old man curled up on the ground sleeping. The women boiled the wild vegetable soup, and the men scolded and swore as they picked up their digging tools and prepared to start their day's work.

"Who are these people? Why do you stay in Chengyin Mansion? I wondered.

"Their houses all collapsed, and the head of the house let everyone move here." After speaking, the housekeeper opened a small mezzanine room next to the main house, "The head of the house gave up his house to a few pregnant women, so ...... It's dark here, and the wizard is careful under his feet. ”

"It's okay, let's bother the family to light a fire, I'll take a look at Cheng Yin's condition first." I looked up and looked around, and there was not even a single window in this room, and when I closed the door, I couldn't see anything.

"Elder Qiang, who's coming?" A hoarse voice rang out in the darkness.

"Master, are you awake? What a wizard! "The house saw that he lit an oil lamp and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to me twice.

Uh, I don't seem to have done anything......

"Sorcerer? The person sent by the prime minister has arrived? A man sat up on the bed, his hair was scattered, and his head was held in both hands and he was in pain, "How long have I been asleep, why hasn't anyone called me?" ”

I sat down on the edge of his bed with an oil lamp and whispered, "Cheng Yin has slept for three days." ”

The man raised his head suddenly, and under the messy hair was a childlike face, with curved eyebrows, round eyes, and a pouting mouth. I had heard that Yin Duo was young, but I didn't expect him to be such a cute child.

"Sir?" Yin Duo's eyes flickered in the dim light.

"Disciple Tai Shimo, Wizard Zi Di."

"The Prime Minister's support has arrived?" He grinned, lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed.

"Master of the house, don't be in a hurry, let the wizard see it first!" The head of the family pressed Yin Duo, turned his head to me and said worriedly, "Witch, the head of the family suddenly fainted when he was building the altar with the people, did this collide with the gods?" ”

"Elder Fish, I'm fine." Yin Duo smiled at me embarrassedly, "I haven't slept for five days before, I was tired and fainted that day, nothing serious." ”

"The noble man slept so comfortably that it caused a few of us to rain all night outside the city gates." Si'er lowered his head and muttered.

"This is ......," Yin Duo looked at Si'er and asked.

I thought Yin Duo would say a few words of apology, but I didn't expect him to praise the housekeeper and the city gate guards in front of me and Si'er, and praised them for their discipline.

"Now that Cheng Yin has woken up, let's hurry up and go to the south gate to deploy the matter of transporting supplies. The little witch retired. I chuckled and got up and said to Si'er, "Let's go, since Cheng Yin has woken up, the sky of Jinyang City has fallen, and he has his own support." ”

"Wait!" Yin Duo got up and stopped in front of me, and said with a straight face, "Do witches have any objections to the words of the despicable?" In times of famine, is it wrong for the people and guards to follow the rules? The sorcerer was angry after being drenched in the rain all night, but it can be seen that the people in Jinyang City have been drenched in the rain for more than a month? ”

I looked at Yin Duo's serious expression and said with a light smile: "Does Cheng Yin want to hear the truth, or is it a lie?" ”

"Nature is true!"

"The truth is, if this Jinyang City Yin is replaced by me, I am afraid that it will be several times better than your Yin Duo."

As soon as I said this, Yin Duo was immediately dumbfounded. After a while, he clapped his hands and laughed, "What a shameless sorcerer! The housekeeper, send the wizard down to rest, there is anything good left in the city, and all the good ones will be sent to the wizard, so as not to snub the master disciples of Taishi! ”

I snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Chengyin is asleep, sick, and unconscious, and this Jinyang City will not be able to turn." If the convoy of food and goods arrived last night, without Cheng Yin's permission, wouldn't it be necessary to wait outside the city all night until all the seeds of this spring are soaked in rainwater? The law is dead, but people are alive, Cheng Yin made the law but didn't think about it, if he slept and died one day, who should be responsible for this important matter. Cheng Yin does everything himself, and it is rare to share weal and woe with Li Shu; Strict discipline, clear rewards and punishments, is even more admirable. It's a pity that a good city Yin should let Jinyang City leave you, and it is still good. After I finished speaking, I pulled the stunned Yin Duo and walked outside the door, "Cheng Yin look at this messy yard, the old people and children should find a place to settle down, and the men and women who are still strong should also form a team, from the east city to the west city, clean up one foot at a time, don't dig a pit in your house today, and pick up a tile at my house tomorrow." The prime minister sent you to be the city yin, not for you to rush up and dig a pit and repair the house with the villagers. ”

Si'er glanced at Yin Duo, shook his head and teased: "Ah Shi, you talk too much, Cheng Yin may not understand." Let's hurry to the city gate and keep guard, don't let the bandits swagger into the city to pull the strong men. ”

"Bandits?" Yin Duo shook his body in shock and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Yin Duo panicking, Si'er smiled: "Cheng Yin doesn't know, right?" In those days, the bandits entered the city during the day, and it was useless to lock the city gate at night, no matter how tightly it was locked. ”

"You mean that there are bandits in Jinyang City?" Yin Duo was shocked.
