According to Meng Xu'an's plan, she needs a puppet who is exactly the same as Lu Jiaxi, who can deceive everyone's eyes and marry Hebo instead of her. First stabilize the workers who built the embankment along the river and the panicked people, and then control the Great Witch and no longer let the interference of the river be transmitted to the people.

If it doesn't rain for a long time, there will be a great disaster.

On July 20, only by defending the three counties of Cangzhou can we change the "destiny" of more than 10,000 people who died in natural disasters.

......

There was no trace of Meng Xu'an all day, and when the lights were on, Ye Yao finally blocked him in the outer courtyard.

"Ye Yao—"

I was about to look for her, but she showed up on her own.

"Where have you been all day?"

The attendants who followed him and the servants and maids around him retreated one after another, and Ye Yao glanced out of the Moon Gate, where Xue Li was holding back the dancing lightsaber. This guy Sword Spirit is really strange, he was obviously very well-behaved before, and when he saw Xue Li being so vigilant, it seemed that he was a good man who was strong when he was strong.

"The grain and grass transferred from Qingzhou arrived, and I went with the Wangfu warehouse envoy to inspect the grain. Although we are confident that we can withstand a once-in-a-decade flood, the embankment has been in disrepair for many years, and there is a danger of bursting everywhere, so we will be prepared to fill the granaries of Jizhong Highland. Meng Xu'an replied to her seriously.

"Where is the Great Elder?, and what about Miss Lu?!" Ye Yao asked anxiously.

With a breakfast, in a blink of an eye, they were all gone.

"The Great Elder has taken Jiaxi to the other garden. He said to find a quiet place and make a puppet tailor-made. Meng Xu'an smiled, "Ye Yao, what are you worried about? Since you are a demon, the Great Elder is your own person. Why are you so panicked when you see him?"

"Because I'm a special demon. ”

Ye Yao pulled him into a corner, "We can't tell the Great Elder about our business no matter what!"

"Can't you?" Meng Xu'an blinked, "but I've already told him." He also gave me a lot of ideas and some suggestions...... Very helpful. ”

"Looking for his help?!Want to die!" Ye Yao almost jumped.

Although the "senior brother" treats her well, he is the great elder of the demon clan after all. The demon clan has a solid foundation in the world, and if he has the idea of "sealing the soul seal", even if Aze is here, he may not be able to stop him.

This matter has already involved the Heavenly Clan, the Divine Clan, and the Netherworld, if the Demon Clan is mixed in again, once the ancient artifact is missing, her small life is not qualified to fill it.

"To open the spiritual realm in the magic weapon, you need a fairy, he is a demon, no matter how high the spiritual power is, it can't help you!" she tried her best to refrain from using her hands, because she couldn't beat him for the time being.

"Time is running out, hurry up and follow me back to my room to practice spells. ”

"Wait—"

"What's wrong?"

"Listen, what's the sound?"

"Goo-goo-goo-"

Like, it's some kind of noise. Ye Yao looked left and right, only to realize that it was her stomach screaming.

"There are priorities. Hurry up again...... Let's eat first. ”

"Meals? yes, mortals want to eat...... But ......"

"But what's it? Let's go!"

......

They were dragged to the atrium, where the porch was full of lanterns.

On one side, the impatiens are clustered and bright like fire, and on one side the pond is full of lotus flowers, and a long feast is placed in the middle. The table was full of people, including several county guards who had seen yesterday, and other adults in civilian clothes, and the ladies of their respective families were supposed to be the ladies of each province.

It's not a season, why does Meng Xu'an invite so many people to dinner?

The dishes on the table were simple, but the wine was already full, and a row of maidservants were holding flasks ready to be prepared at the side.

Who are you going to pour into this formation?

The main seat was empty, the guest seat was the state and county officials, the Great Witch was not present, and there were no other strange people.

"Let's get started—"

Meng Xu'an's long sleeves were raised, and before Ye Yao could react, he was pulled to the right seat and sat down.

Before he could sit down, an adult came up with his wife to toast. Meng Xu'an drank it all without refusal, and did not forget to push Ye Yao with his backhand, urging her to hurry up.

"It's so spicy!" Ye Yao frowned.

On a hot day, how can you drink such strong wine?

Before he could ask, another adult and his wife stepped forward.

"The princess loves the people like a son, and she will be blessed. Mrs. Sven said. Then he drank it in one gulp, almost unable to control his dignified expression. Obviously, the amount of wine is shallow, but I want to take the initiative to toast, as if with some task.

After watching Ye Yao finish drinking, the two of them left satisfied.

They had not taken a few steps out of the house, and immediately someone continued to take a breath, not even giving them a chance to catch their breath.

Ye Yao glanced at Meng Xu'an, he seemed to be enjoying it, and without waiting for others to arrive, he had already picked up the wine cup.

"Wait, can I have a piece of pastry?" she said anxiously.

A plate of osmanthus cake was pushed in front of him, "Let's eat—" Meng Xu'an said generously.

However, before she could finish her meal, she was pulled up again to drink with adults and ladies whom she didn't know at all. There was not even small talk, everyone was so serious about "fighting wine".

In the second half of the night, the seats were already sparse, and there were not many guests who could hold it steadily.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Ye Yao staggered with the guests who "never died", and at the same time took the time to ask Meng Xu'an.

"The Great Elder said, the first step, flowers and wine. Meng Xu'an squinted his eyes, already slightly drunk.

This guy is really drunk on himself!

Ye Yao rolled her eyes, "I'm going to die, what did you tell him?"

Meng Xu'an stared at her, his gaze a little straight, "Of course it is...... You're in business with me. He said, "Get drunk!" Get drunk first——, if you're drunk, you can say anything. ”

What is this?

What does opening the spiritual realm have to do with drinking?

Could it be that he didn't want to practice magic and wanted to pretend to be crazy with wine?

......

"Wine is water-based. I'm a water ...... Water demons, wine in the mortal world, those who can't get drunk. Seeing the last adult in the banquet fall, Ye Yao said angrily.

"It's a bit of a hassle if you're not drunk. ”

Meng Xu'an frowned, raised his hand and patted it.

In a moment, a servant girl stepped forward quickly and held a lacquer box in front of Ye Yao.

"Princess—"

The lid of the lotus carved box was opened, and a pair of dazzling pearls were placed on the red brocade.

Under the candlelight, the white light floats and shines.

Mortals are really similar to dragons sometimes, and they all like this shiny thing.

"Do you like it?"

Meng Xu'an poured her a glass of wine.

"What did the Great Elder teach you?" Ye Yao glared at him in surprise.

What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd? What happened to the Great Elder? Let him pour wine and deliver things again!

"Yes!" said the Great Elder, the second step - gift-giving. Meng Xu'an poured himself another glass.

Ye Yao was angry and funny, and lifted her sideburns and said, "Look at me, do I have ear piercings?"

In the Six Realms, I am afraid that only fragile humans will use the earrings, and the immortals and demons are injured and healed very quickly, and it is impossible to have such an inexplicable "wound" as ear piercing.

"Well?!Why not, where did you go?" leaned into her ear, Meng Xu'an carefully confirmed.

"You haven't looked at me carefully at all! It's not early, is there anything else you have to do?" Ye Yao pulled a chicken leg and chewed it.

"There's—"

Meng Xu'an raised his hand, "The third step is to confess your sincerity." ”

"Huh?"

Vindicate...... Wholehearted...... Separated barely understand, what does it mean to be together?!

Ye Yao almost choked up, and couldn't help but sit up.

"You...... If you have something to say, say it quickly. ...... after eating."

"Ye Yao—"

Meng Xu'an met her eyes, "In ordinary times, loneliness is as usual, you come to me...... Without warning. Since then, the situation has changed suddenly...... You are the smoke or the glow, the fireworks that rush into the clear sky, the raindrops that crash into the puddles, the majestic rushing streams, the heavy snow that crushes the city, and the gorgeous rainbows...... It's a scenery I've never seen in my life. But it always lingers, as if it will disappear at any time......"

Ye Yao stretched out her hand and gently pressed it against his face.

Meng Xu'an in front of him, a mortal of flesh and blood. Compared with the gods and demons, his life was very short, and she just happened to meet him at the best time.

Meng Xu'an grabbed her hand and looked a little excited, "I'm starting to be afraid, I'm afraid that one day, you won't appear again." So, I want to marry you and keep you in the most worldly way. In the future, even if life and death are separated, there is still a connection between you and me. ”

"You've drunk too much......" Ye Yao whispered.

There was silence all around, but there were many pairs of eyes watching.

"No—" Meng Xu'an smiled and pulled her up, "My wine is ...... Mixed with water. The Great Elder said that there are three steps to capture a woman's heart, including flowers and wine, gifts, and confession of sincerity. Does it work?"

"Meng Xu'an, I ......"

"Click-click-" Ye Yao's voice was drowned out by the sound of the rising rain.

Large raindrops fell, getting faster and harder, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for half a month finally poured down.

She reached out and caught a slightly cool raindrop.

The rainy season is coming......
