Although Feng Jiutian's body had been conditioned for a while, it was still weak and tight, and these few steps made her forehead covered with fine sweat.

The trouser legs on the calves were already soaked with muddy water, sticky and uncomfortable, and a little itchy and stinging from the blisters.

"It's okay, it's just that we walk like this, I don't know when we'll be able to walk over."

Feng Jiutian was silent, she knew that this speed was indeed a little too slow.

"We ...... Try something else. ”

If they wanted to go faster, they had to walk through the woods, where there were plenty of dead leaves and tangled roots, so even if they were blistered, they wouldn't have too much trouble walking.

But the woods are no better than they are now.

It had just rained, and the forest was full of miasma, and it was easy for them to have an accident when they walked in.

Feng Xiye pondered for a moment, "Let's go to the foot of the mountain." ”

The two hit it off, went around the foot of the mountain, and it took three days to reach Xicheng with difficulty.

It is the confluence of three rivers, and it is severely affected during every flood season.

Even though Feng Jiutian had already anticipated the situation here, he was still frightened by the tragic situation of the people.

The rain brought not only the dispersion of wives, but also the wind chill that was difficult to treat.

At this time, the people in the hospital all fled for their lives, not to mention, many people didn't have time to take care of their money when they fled for their lives.

Even if there are doctors now, they don't have the money to see a doctor.

But fortunately, the few doctors sent by the imperial court didn't need to spend money, but they were surrounded by people, many of whom were weak and didn't have the strength to squeeze with others.

This is still what Feng Jiutian saw, and she didn't know how many people were struggling in such pain where she didn't see it.

The city lord of Xicheng cautiously glanced at Feng Jiutian, he was being made by this flood, and just when he was about to pack up and run away, Feng Jiutian came.

He glanced at Feng Jiutian tremblingly, "Young Master, we have such a thing in Xicheng every year, and everyone is used to being poor, so it's nothing." ”

As soon as his words fell, he felt a cool gaze fall on him.

"This is ......"

Feng Jiu glanced at Feng Xiye, she was actually a little suspicious of the relationship between the two in her heart, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak.

But Feng Xiye seemed to be afraid that others would not know the relationship between the two of them, and said, "The young master Feng Xiye." ”

He said that the young master's husband, the city lord of Xicheng, might not know who it was, but when it came to Fengxiye, he immediately understood.

"Original...... It turned out to be Feng Gongzi, why don't you tell the lower officials if you want to come. ”

His attitude towards Feng Xiye is much more flattering than that of Feng Jiuqing, and he is not to blame, Xicheng is far away from Yan, and he still thinks that Feng Jiutian is still the puppet young master who has no real power under Feng Xiye's nose.

Feng Jiutian looked at Feng Xiye suspiciously, and Feng Xiye's whole person exuded a terrifying coolness, and that cool air swished like a substance swishing at the face of the city lord of Xicheng.

"Does it matter if I come or not?"

The city lord of Xicheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly made up for it, "There is still some surplus grain in the lower official's house, and after a while, the people in the mansion will cook it and distribute it to everyone." ”

Feng Jiutian sneered, "The city lord has a heart, this flood situation is almost ten days, and you still have room in your family." ”

The City Lord of Xicheng wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan has the habit of storing grain on weekdays, but he didn't expect it to come in handy this time. ”

If it weren't for Feng Jiutian and Feng Xiye suddenly coming to Xicheng, he might not have taken out these grains at all.

This grain is expensive!

Thinking like this, he said it directly, Feng Jiuqing heard this, and his brows furrowed directly,

"Expensive food? Are you saying that at a time when food is so scarce, there are still people selling grain in Xicheng? ”

The city lord of Xicheng said that he had leaked his mouth, and he refused to continue, "Xiaguan...... The lower officials have other things, the young master and the young master husband have worked hard all the way, and they must have worked very hard, so I won't disturb your rest. ”

With that, he fled and left.

The anger on Feng Jiu's face had not yet dissipated.

Feng Xiye knew that she was angry, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and rubbed her fingers on her delicate skin to comfort, "It's good that you're here, aren't you?" Now we can investigate this matter and restore peace to the west. ”

Feng Jiu nodded, he didn't have to think about it, he knew what was going on.

Xicheng has a very serious flood every year, so that it occupies such a good position, but the life of the common people is tight.

Several grandfathers with heads and faces in Xicheng moved their minds, since the grain production will be reduced every year, and many people can't eat, then they will monopolize the food in Xicheng all of a sudden, and everyone in Xicheng must buy food from them.

Therefore, they can sell as much as they want, and the price of grain on weekdays is already much higher than in other places, and when it comes to floods, the price is even more unsupportable by ordinary people.

It's hard to imagine how many people are starving to death because they don't have enough to eat.

Feng Jiu clenched his fists angrily, "I will definitely give justice to the people of Xicheng." ”

But before that, she still has to solve the problem of flooding in Xicheng, and she can't let this happen all the time.

During this time, in addition to reading the folds in the imperial study, she also read a lot of books.

I think that maybe it can also be like the Great Yan Dynasty, so that the people can live a rich life, this Xicheng area, just like the Jiangnan of the Great Yan Dynasty, if it is well managed, it will definitely prosper.

So she came this time not only to see the dire days of the people, but also to end such days completely.

Every year, the imperial court allocates a lot of silver money here, but the money is not as loud as falling into the water, and even the reverberation cannot be heard.

She felt she had to find out where the annual disaster relief money had gone.

At night, she discussed this matter with Feng Xiye.

After she finished her thoughts, she noticed that the man opposite him seemed to be settled, sitting there staring at her with his eyes intended.

This made her feel very uncomfortable, "What are you watching me do?" If you have any other ideas, you can also tell me. ”

Feng Xiye came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, your ideas are very good, and your plans are also very thorough, I just didn't expect you to be so suitable to be the young master of the Western Regions, you are more attractive than I imagined." ”

Feng Xiye never hid her irrepressible emotions in front of her.

This made Feng Jiutian blush a little unbearably.

She looked away and urged Feng Xiye.

"It's not too early, you should go back to sleep quickly, and the sooner things about the embankment start, the better."

Feng Xiye's eyes were a little complicated, and some words came to his lips, looking at Feng Jiutian's face full of hope, he still didn't say it after all.
