Chapter 53: The Canal Bursts

When he returned to Zhangning Town, Wu Wei was already waiting in the hall, and what Mu Xiyun didn't expect when he went out to inspect was that he actually brought a chess piece and was playing against the post officer.

"Master!" Mu Xiyun ran up when he saw Wuwei, ran to stand in front of him, the sunspots of Wuwei on the chessboard had already occupied all the chessboards, and the post officer saw that King Yan was back, so he quickly found an excuse and ran away.

"King Yan, are you still having fun? There's something to report below. When Wuwei saw them returning, he stood up and said.

Zhisong and Duo'er saw that they had something to say and left, and now there were only the three of them left, Wuwei took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and opened it to kill sand and gravel from the dirt dug on the river embankment in the morning.

"How? Are there any questions? Yu Mingche hurriedly asked, it turned out that he and Wuwei had planned it a long time ago, he took Mu Xiyun and them to leave after the inspection to divert the attention of others, leaving Wuwei alone to explore the truth in the name of loitering.

"In the morning, there was no problem with the sand and gravel of the section of the embankment that the county order took us to, and it was very reliable, but in the afternoon, while you were not there, I went to other embankments and took a turn, and found that King Yan really expected things to be like a god, and there was indeed a problem." After Wu Wei finished speaking, he opened another handkerchief, but there was only a little bit of mud in it.

"Sure enough, in the name of building the canal, I will fill my pockets privately, and if the canal is repaired, it will be a good plan for the Tianyuan Kingdom to directly reach our imperial city, killing two birds with one stone." Yu Mingche clenched his fists and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy voice sounded outside the door, and Naosong ran in, panting and said

"Lord Wang, something is wrong, the river has burst!"

Yu Mingche, Wuwei and Mu Xiyun glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they ran out together, got into the carriage and went straight to the river embankment.

The part that burst the embankment is the section that Wuwei inspected this afternoon and cut corners, and now thousands of acres of fertile land have been washed away, and countless people have been killed and injured.

Yu Mingche hurriedly arranged for the officials to go back to the imperial city to report the news, and then arrested the county commander and asked him to immediately arrange for the officers and soldiers to relieve the disaster.

A few people went to the place where the embankment broke, countless houses were washed down, and there were cries everywhere, and for a time the rich place became like a purgatory on earth.

Several people hurriedly began to help the victims save people, Yu Mingche arranged for the county commander and officers and soldiers who came with him to go to the breach of the river embankment to take sand and gravel bags to plug the gap, and Mu Xiyun and Wuwei hurriedly helped the other victims to heal.

At this moment, Wuwei heard the woman's cry, walked over and looked, it turned out that there was a six or seven-year-old boy lying on his stomach on a tree that had been flooded by the river, and the crumbling tree was about to fall, and the boy's mother was shouting on the shore but couldn't come forward at all.

Wu Wei glanced at Mu Xiyun, who came over, and he picked up a hemp rope and tied it to his waist and slowly waded down.

Seeing his master in danger and saving people, Mu Xiyun was inconvenient to reveal his divine power, so he could only secretly pinch a wind to protect the river from drowning his master, and he was still holding the hemp rope tightly in his hand.

Wu Wei quickly crossed the rushing river to the tree, carried the little boy and walked back, and when he got to the shore and handed the child to her mother, the woman wept bitterly and thanked her.

At this moment, the house next to Mu Xiyun began to collapse because of the force of the river, and a wooden pillar smashed heavily on Mu Xiyun's body, she instantly weakened and fell down, Wuwei saw it and quickly shouted to save her, but Mu Xiyun fainted, and the divine power to protect the two of them disappeared, at this time a wave came and washed away Mu Xiyun, Wuwei grabbed the apprentice's hand tightly and was also washed away by the river, and the rice that followed on the side saw his master fall into the river, barked around the river, and finally jumped down.

Yu Mingche, who was plugging the gap in the river embankment, heard that Mu Xiyun and Wuwei were washed away by the water, and he was dizzy and did not stand firm, Zhisong hurriedly went up to help him, only to see his eyes red and roar at everyone:

"Find me! Find me along the river! If the princess of this king has any three longs and two shorts, all the officials of your Zhangning Town will bury me! ”

All the people were scared half to death when they saw King Yan like this, they had long heard that King Yan loved his wife as his life, if it was really because of the tragic death of Princess Yan at the breach of the river embankment, then I am afraid that all the officials would be buried together, and they didn't dare to say anything, and quickly arranged for everyone to go along the river to find Princess Yan.

Yun'er, you must not be fine, if you really have three long and two short, I will pull you back even if I go to hell.

It is said that Mu Xiyun and Wuwei were washed into the water, Wuwei is not accustomed to water, and when Mu Xiyun, who was in a coma, was struggling desperately, he grabbed a driftwood and pulled Mu Xiyun tightly onto the life-saving driftwood.

The rice kept screaming, Wuwei opened his eyes, and saw that they had been washed by the river to a deserted river beach, and quickly got up to look at Mu Xiyun next to her, she was still in a coma, and probed her snort to be very stable, indicating that Yu was worry-free, but it was not clear where Wuwei was here, the cold river was still washing their bodies, and they were afraid that Mu Xiyun would have a low body temperature, so they quickly propped up their injured bodies and picked up Mu Xiyun and walked into the woods.

I don't know how long she slept, Mu Xiyun opened her eyes with difficulty, and what caught her eye was a beating flame, and the rice that had been lying on her stomach heard her movement and quickly screamed, and Wuwei came over.

"Yun'er, how do you feel?" He gently touched her forehead and asked gently

"Master, where are we now?" Mu Xiyun wanted to sit up, but found a tearing pain in his shoulder, and couldn't help but exhale softly.

"Yun'er, don't move, you're injured, and I don't know where this is, but we were washed here by the flood, and I carried you into this cave." Wuwei looked at the cave and said.

"You lie down and rest first, the rice guards you, I'll go out and find you something to eat, it's okay, don't worry, King Yan will definitely find us." Wuwei gently helped her lie down again, tightened the coat that covered her body, and walked out of the cave.

After staying in the cave for two days, Mu Xiyun gradually recovered, but Wuwei launched a high fever, because he was actually injured himself, but because he had to take care of Mu Xiyun, he didn't say anything, and when Mu Xiyun found out, the wound in his abdomen was already inflamed, so he launched a high fever.

While he was asleep, Mu Xiyun propped up his body that had just improved a little to heal him, but after all, he was also injured, and he couldn't play much for the time being, and he still needed to find some herbs to heal his injuries, so he could only walk out of the cave with rice.

Outside the cave is a dense forest, you can see the river rushing down them from a distance, go deep along the dense forest, Mu Xiyun picked a lot of herbs to heal injuries, at this moment the rice barked wildly towards a big tree, Mu Xiyun hurriedly walked over.

It is a locust tree that has been growing for hundreds of years, and the root system of the big tree stretches widely, and the rice begins to sway under the tree.

The rice is a celestial star wolf, and it is very spiritual, and there must be something where it is planed, Mu Xiyun also dug it up with both hands, and after a while, he saw a scabbard with a bright ruby inlaid on it, and the ruby was not covered in dust because it was buried in the ground.

Picking up the scabbard, Mu Xiyun looked at it carefully, suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out the rusty ancient sword he was carrying, and it matched the scabbard at all, it turned out that this was the scabbard of the ancient sword.

The ancient sword inserted into the scabbard flashed with dazzling light, and all the rust on his body instantly peeled off piece by piece, and when he pulled it out again, it was already shining with a cold sword glow.

"Thank you, Rice, you're amazing." Mu Xiyun patted the forehead of the rice, and it obediently began to lick the palm of the hand again.

This sword is the ancient artifact Pointing to the Sky Sword, specializing in overcoming all kinds of demons and monsters, and after a thousand years of dust, he actually recognized a nine-tailed white fox as the master.
