Ling'er stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the black smoke in Zhenning City, and was very sad in her heart.

In such cold and windy weather, the goods were fluffy and the air was dry, and the fires spread through the strong winds, which wantonly engulfed many houses. The place where the black smoke was thickest was in the center of the city, where the Hou Wang's Mansion was located, and the fire had been burning for three hours.

Lingdie flew back from the city, and Ling'er was relieved. Knowing the news, the worries in my heart were relieved, but the sorrow in my brows did not dissipate.

"How long is this fire going to burn? Xue Ze should be fine, but she can't just cast spells, so the loss will be great!"

Ling'er thought about it, and finally regretted it: If I came back with them at that time and didn't leave, wouldn't it be better? However, if the lotus seeds can't be with me, how can I?

After pondering for a long time, Ling'er turned around and went back, and the master was still waiting for her to solve the mystery of the stars together!

The people of Zhenning brought water to extinguish the fire by the river, and almost the whole city was dispatched, after all, the king was upright, and the people appreciated and respected him very much. Although the fire was strange and sudden, it happened in the morning, but most of the people in the house got up, so there were no casualties.

King Hou arranged Xue Ze and many female dependents outside the mansion, and he took many men to try his best to extinguish the fire. Xue Ze was surrounded by a group of people, and it was not easy to get out, so he had to use the Five Elements Technique to control the wind and fire to be less wild.

Suddenly a ship passed by on the river, and the people waved their hands to stop the boat, so that it would not occupy the open space of the downstream wharf.

The boat came slowly, and the owner Yu Qixian walked out curiously, and asked the people by the river, "Ladies and gentlemen, why are you waving?"

"There is a fire here, we are going to the Hou Wang's Mansion to put out the fire, you don't want to dock!"

"Yes, you get out of here, don't dock!"

Yu Qi first looked at the waves under the ship and understood the reason for everyone's obstruction.

"I see, I'm sorry. However, our docking will not affect much, and it can help a thing or two. After all, there are many men in the prime of life on my ship, so wouldn't it be convenient to transport them back and forth?"

The people by the river had no opinion, and called a housekeeper from the Hou Wang's Mansion. When the steward learned of the situation, he asked, "Who are you, why did you dock, and when did you leave?"

"Under Yu Qixian, he is the owner of this ship. All the guests on board will disembark here, and I and many crew members can help you put out the fire! If not, let me wait for the shore!"

"The ship is down here?" the butler thought for a moment and nodded. "Since Childe has the heart to help, and we are short of manpower, then I will bother you!"

Not long after, Yu Qi waited for the guests to leave, and then got off the boat with the young man. There were about twenty people, all of whom met with the butler.

"Butler, I think you are very slow to put out fires like this, and it takes physical strength and water to go back and forth. Why don't you let everyone stand in several rows and connect from the river to the Hou Wang's Mansion, wouldn't it be convenient and fast?"

"Childe is saying to hand them over one by one? It's convenient, but we don't have a lot of manpower. Now that you're here, you can try!"

The butler stood in the palace of the prince of Hou, and everyone tried this method, and it really formed a line, and the bucket seemed to have increased several times, fast and labor-saving. People who were physically exhausted or watching the excitement also joined in, and men, women, and children were also lined up in two rows.

The buckets of the palace came and went, and the speed and effect were so strong that it was amazing and applauded.

About an hour later, the fire was finally extinguished, and the prince did not have time to go in with everyone to investigate the damage, but left the palace in time to thank everyone.

As soon as Hou Wang finished saying his words of gratitude, Yu Qixian came to the dock with the crew and was about to board the ship.

The prince rode to the dock, restrained the release, and got on the boat in a few steps.

"How can I go away without thanking me? I hope the owner of the ship will not dismiss me for my rough temper and simple nature!"

looked around, and found that there was a man with an outstanding posture and extraordinary temperament in the crowd who was preaching to the helmsman, about to arrange the future itinerary.

King Hou looked at him, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly. "Dare to ask the son, but is the ship's owner Yu Qixian?"

Yu Qixian turned around, looked at the clothes of King Hou, immediately knew his identity, and hurriedly saluted and replied: "I am in the next place, I don't know that King Hou is visiting, and I am missing the welcome!"

"Don't get in the way, don't talk about this!" Hou Wang walked over with a smile, "This fire is thanks to you, and before I have time to thank you, you are gone." This good deed is not a good thing in my eyes!"

King Hou smiled, obviously not to punish the crime. However, this is not necessary. I have heard that the Marquis of Zhenning, Wang Zhang, is good and evil, upright, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who appreciate and admire, and we are just fortunate to help, not enough to worry about!"

"Yu Gongzi is also famous and famous with Yu's ship, I knew that you like to make friends, but I didn't expect you to be a kind and charitable person. As soon as this incident came out, his wisdom was also revealed, which really made the old man hate to see each other. ”

Yu Qixian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled. "Hou Wang's praise, these words are unbearable! However, Hou Wang's reputation has its own refreshing words, I don't know if you can tell me the meaning?"

"By the way, Childe is a businessman, and time shouldn't be delayed by me!" King Hou paused, looked at Yu Qixian and said: "Childe is such an upright and kind person, I want to make friends with one or two, I wonder if Childe is willing to appreciate his face?"

Yu Qixian smiled happily and replied humbly: "Thank you King Hou for lifting up, but Yu is just a businessman in the rivers and lakes, and he laughs and talks with King Hou, wouldn't it damage your prestige?"

"How can this be, as long as Yu Gongzi doesn't feel that the trip is delayed! Please bring everyone on board, the Hou Wangfu is only half on fire, and you can also treat guests to your feet! If you don't like it, please follow me off the boat!"

Yu Qixian smiled, "We are all vulgar people, it is already a blessing to be so gracious to King Hou, how can we dislike the environment? It's just that we bring some habits in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid that King Hou will not like it, if we defile the purity of the Hou Mansion, it will be a sin!"

"Where is this?" King Hou turned sideways and stretched out his hand to Yin: "Young Master Yu, please!"

"King Hou, please first!" Yu Qixian was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: At first glance, King Hou is not a person who messes with the rivers and lakes and makes friends, why do you want to get married to me? Is it possible, just because there is kindness and repayment?

Hou Wang took two steps and smiled back. "You're a guest, or do you invite first!"

"Then let's go together!" Yu Qixian smiled, followed Hou Wang out, and summoned the crew to come out. "King Hou is grateful, I want to invite you into the mansion to talk about it, do you want to accept this thanks?"

The crew all looked at the work in their hands and sent a decent teenager to talk back.

The young man touched his head, walked shyly in front of King Hou, and said with a smile: "I thank King Hou for his kindness, but we still have work to do, so it is inconvenient to go." Today's events are all due to your good reputation, King Hou, and the people have come to their aid, which has put out the fire, not because of our significant contributions!"

"You young man is articulate, but Yu Gongzi will choose people! However, most of today's hard work is done by you, and you are the one closest to the source of fire, and this good method is also your suggestion, how can I not thank you more? I can still thank the people in this city slowly, but you are not the ones who stay for a long time, please give a thin face!"

"King Hou is serious!" the young man smiled and replied with a smile on his face: "We are all under the orders of the shipowner, you can thank him alone." If you take me and wait, you will have to bother everyone in the house, and this will delay the resumption of the trip! Besides, we have to return in the evening, and the reputation of the rivers and lakes must be kept! The owner of the ship can stay, and I can wait to pick up again, and we ...... Look?"

King Hou smiled, looked at everyone, and bowed to thank him: "Since this is the case, then I can only thank you for this! Thank you for your help!"

"King Hou is very polite!"

Everyone smiled and returned to the courtesy, watched the prince and the owner of the ship go, and then went on to work on the return journey.

People in the rivers and lakes are not informal, and business people cherish time. Everyone is not as leisurely and making friends as Yu Qixian, after all, they are all to make money to support their families or use it for other purposes, so they have less social feelings!

King Hou took Yu Qixian with him and walked all the way to the mansion, and asked his entourage to introduce Yu Qixian to the customs and customs of Zhenning, and the characteristics of scenic spots, which made Yu Qixian surprised and delighted.

"Why do you want to introduce this? I don't live here forever, does the Hou Wang have other thoughts? Fortunately, he is a decent person, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

Yu Qixian glanced at King Hou from time to time, and every time he wanted to speak, he was looked at by King Hou. After a few streets and alleys, there were fewer people, and King Hou opened his mouth.

"Yu Gongzi, when it comes to chatting and communicating, do you like to be cheerful or tactful?"

"Hmm, this ......" Yu Qi first looked at King Hou, and then replied: "Both have pros and cons, and I have little difference in my feelings for them when I choose them under different circumstances." However, I think sincerity is essential!"

"Cheng?" Hou Wang nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Indeed, don't worry, I have this, don't worry!"

Yu Qixian was stunned for a moment, and then became much more cheerful. "King Hou is observant and admires it!"

"No need, I'm not a formal person!" King Hou looked at the mansion in front of him and asked softly, "Do you think my Hou Mansion Feng Shui is good?"

"It's good!" Yu Qixian didn't dare to say much, because he only knew a thing or two about Feng Shui, but he didn't know much more.

King Hou smiled slightly, "Do Yu Gongzi's family care about things like feng shui, hexagrams, and eight characters?"

Yu Qi thought about it first and shook his head. "No one in the next family cares about this, it's just an occasional focus, and they don't pay attention to it!"

"Then if it is before the son does a big thing, such as marrying a wife, traveling, etc., will he look at the date?"

"This ......" Yu Qixian shook his head, and his doubts were even more serious: King Hou asked what he was doing, why did he get more and more deviated?

King Hou pursed his lips and smiled, without saying much, invited Yu Qixian into the mansion and deliberately took him around.

Coming and going, stopping and stopping, but not seeing Yukisawa. King Hou was a little displeased, and asked his entourage in a low voice, "Where is Miss?"
