The sun became more and more intense, Mo Xuanyin felt a little uncomfortable, and then walked to the camp.

Standing at the front of the topographic map for a long time, Mo Xuanyin frowned. He really couldn't figure out the emperor's true intentions.

"His Royal Highness the Prince ......" The personal guard approached him, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Mo Xuanyin sat down on the chair behind him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he put it on his temples and rubbed it.

"I just learned from them that the emperor has long known about the drought situation here?" Mo Xuanyin narrowed his eyes, and his questioning gaze fell on the guard. "My subordinates are here to report this matter to His Highness." The guard stepped forward, his eyes lit up. He pondered it and presented the contents of his bag.

"The people here said that the emperor had sent a large number of officers and soldiers here to alleviate the disaster, but for some reason, the number of officials present was not large, and the effect was not good." As he spoke, the guard presented half of the emperor's token.

Mo Xuanyin took it and took a closer look. This is indeed the Emperor's token!

Suddenly, Mo Xuanyin raised his head, and his deep eyes met the guards.

"This is what a resident picked up after the closure left." The guard took a breath and spoke slowly.

This is strange, why was this token cut off? Moreover, it can even be said that those officers and soldiers did not do what they wanted at all......

"Could it be that someone has defected......" The guard's eyes widened with sudden realization, and his eyes were full of complexity.

"It stands to reason that if someone rebels, how can the emperor be so calm. What's more, there is no wind at all? Raising his slender fingers and knocking on the table a few times, Mo Xuanyin fell into deep thought again.

It turned out that the emperor's original intention was to rescue these people who were suffering from drought.

"There must be disloyal among these officers and soldiers. Maybe it's just an infighting between them. The law of the jungle is the strong, and it is no wonder that there are not many people present. Looking at the half token, suddenly, Mo Xuanyin suddenly realized.

Having said that, the subordinate remembered one more thing. I heard that the officers and soldiers tried to enslave the people here and deprive them of their right to work. Forced by the Holy Decree, they did not make much publicity. The guard scratched his head and spoke.

Mo Xuanyin's eyes were a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Digging rivers is already costing people and money, and these officers and soldiers are not fools no matter what they say, don't they understand this?" Mo Xuanyin felt that this logic worked.

"It must be this man who did the wrong. Otherwise, how can the drought get worse after it has been eased? Hearing Mo Xuanyin's words, the guards were as jealous as hatred.

Mo Xuanyin hooked his lips and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Far water can't save near fire." The emperor didn't expect it. ”

"What is His Royal Highness going to do?" The guards observed the change in the expression on Mo Xuanyin's face.

With his understanding of Mo Xuanyin, he felt that he would definitely not let go.

"This son has already investigated so many useful clues, and the river can't be dug in vain. Tell the leader to go down and let the leader take a few more men and horses to the southwest to dig a new channel. Mo Xuanyin's tone was full of determination.

After the guards left, Mo Xuanyin was not idle, but picked up the half token and looked at it carefully.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Mo Xuanyin vowed to solve the drought problem in these villages.

When night falls, the evening breeze blows, and people can finally feel a little comfortable.

"County Lord—" As soon as he entered the door, Liuyun was so panicked that the basin in his hand almost didn't hold it steady.

No wonder she knocked on the door for so long and no one opened it.

Perhaps, Gu Xiqian went to investigate alone again? Thinking of this, Liuyun did not hesitate to cautiously walk towards certain places.

Gu Xiqian habitually avoided the patrols and stood next to the stone statue in the hidden place, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Niangniang will have a headache, are you sure this is the medicine from the priest?" A servant girl stopped the maid who was delivering the medicine and looked at her suspiciously.

"The priest asked us to bring the medicine first, and then she came to check on Niangniang's condition in person." The maid who delivered the medicine said that, and handed the medicine in her hand to the maidservant.

The maidservant turned and pushed the door in.

Originally, Gu Xiqian didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but when she saw the rune paper that fell from the medicine delivery maid, she cautiously walked over and picked it up.

"How could it be ......" Looking at the pattern on the rune paper, Gu Xiqian felt a little familiar.

The sound of footsteps not far away gradually approached, and Gu Xiqian hurriedly got up and hid.

The priest hurried towards the mother's room, and as he pushed the door in, he whispered to the attendant next to him, who took something out of his sleeve and handed it to her.

All this does not seem to be as simple as I imagined. Gu Xiqian took all this in at her fingertips.

……

"Why don't you kill me? Someone, someone. The mother was lying on the bed and rolling, as if she had gone crazy, and her loud voice could literally pass through the clouds.

When the maidservant saw this, she was at a loss.

"Priest, save my mother. Look at her, how much pain has become......" The maidservant knelt with the priest with a sincere face.

"You all stand down, and I'll leave it here." After the priest's words, everyone withdrew.

The priest walked to the side of the bed and raised his hand to seal some of the acupuncture points on Niangniang's body.

"Priest, help me......" Niangniang couldn't move, and her voice gradually weakened.

This tragic sound makes people shudder to hear.

"Drink the medicine first." The priest forcibly poured the medicine into the mother's mouth, and the look in her eyes was very complicated. Through the window paper, it is not difficult to see that the fear on Niangniang's face comes from the bowl of medicine.

"After drinking it, it did get a lot better, and it relapsed after a few days. Priest, please, can you help me get well completely. Obviously, Niangniang's condition has improved a bit, and her tone of voice has relaxed a lot.

"Since the mother wants to get better, then close her eyes with confidence." The priest half-spoke, taking the bell and other things as he began to do so.

After a while, the mother seemed to be hypnotized.

"Mother, do you feel better?" After some manipulation, the priest stopped. Judging from her expression, she revealed endless confidence.

Seeing that the lady did not respond, the priest picked up the bell and shook it gently.

"My head doesn't hurt now, thanks to the priest." Shaking the bell, the priest spoke.

Unexpectedly, the mother actually repeated the priest's words word for word.

Then what the priest said or what he did, the mother was able to restore it intact.

"Niangniang, you have a good rest. Minister, step back first. With a look of accomplishment on his face, the priest put his things away and left.

Gu Xiqian was still immersed in Fang Cai's picture.

"Ahh

"Who?" Catching Gu Xiqian's cry, the priest subconsciously became cautious, and swept his sharp gaze around.

The maidservant girl came to meet her, and when she saw her like this, she said, "There is only a cat running around, maybe the subordinate is frightened." ”

Hearing this, the priest did not continue to pursue the matter, and went away with the group.

"County Lord, it's me." Liuyun took the liberty of covering Gu Xiqian's mouth and said in a low voice.

"Let's go." It was really dangerous, Gu Xiqian hurriedly pulled Liuyun and ran out.

After returning to the house, Gu Xiqian's mind kept echoing the scene that happened in front of her eyes.

When pouring the tea, I was a little absent-minded, and the water was so full that it was about to overflow.

"This witchcraft is so powerful that it can control people." Gu Xiqian took a sip of water and couldn't help muttering to herself.

"County Lord, what the hell is going on?" Seeing her like this, Liuyun was a little puzzled.

Gu Xiqian felt that now was not the time, and this matter should rot in her stomach first, "It's okay." You stand down. ”

As the night deepened, Gu Xiqian blew out the candle and lay on the bed, but it was a little difficult to sleep.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be controlled by this witchcraft?" Gu Xiqian suddenly realized.

On the other side of the village, due to the vigorous digging of the river channel, the people complained bitterly, and Mo Xuanyin had to make another plan.

"Your Royal Highness, the river was dug deep enough yesterday, but the water was too little, and it was ...... than expected" The guard approached the tent, looked at Mo Xuanyin's back, and sighed.

Mo Xuanyin stared at the topographic map over and over again, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Give me the order to stop digging the river immediately." Now, this is the only step to go. Mo Xuanyin said firmly.

The next morning, residents received a message from the grapevine and rushed to the newly dug river yesterday to get the small amount of water. "This is actually digging out water."

"Don't worry, big guy, take the right amount of water, everyone has a share."

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really a living Bodhisattva!"

Then everyone rushed to fetch the water from the river, and everyone's faces were filled with happiness.

"Everybody copy the guys and keep digging."

"The deeper you dig, the more likely you are to get water."

"Didn't His Royal Highness Order to stop the excavation?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince must be afraid that we are tired. We're full of energy. ”

After a period of coaxing, everyone had the motivation again, and they started to work after picking up the guys.

In the tent, Mo Xuanyin was resting on the table. The book next to his finger was blown open by the wind.

"His Royal Highness." A familiar voice sounded, Mo Xuanyin got up cautiously, raised his eyes and swept around.

"What?" Mo Xuanyin's deep eyes fell on Liuyun and took a deep breath.

Presumably, it was Gu Xiqian who happened again.

"Yesterday, my subordinates found the county lord standing outside Niangniang's window, and later the priest also came out of Niangniang's mansion." Liuyun said as he observed the change in the expression on Mo Xuanyin's face.

"Why did the priest go to the Niangniang's house?" Mo Xuanyin was a little puzzled.

Liuyun said in a low voice: "Niangniang suffers from a head disease, and only priests can cure it. It's just that after returning home, I heard the county lord muttering that witchcraft can actually control people. ”

Hearing her words, Mo Xuanyin's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but squint.
