Chapter IV

Eradicate the demon dragon, and the world is peaceful.

The crown prince made a great contribution. After returning to the capital, he ascended to the throne of the emperor in the recommendation of the queen mother and the blessing of the ministers.

The heavens will descend on the Si people. The new emperor suddenly found that he had been closely linked to the fate of the world, and from then on, the rise and fall of the world and the sorrows and joys would be dominated by him - the emperor had a heavy heart, but with the passing of the smoke of the three long lives, what followed was an irrepressible pride.

At this time, the Earth Emperor would never have thought that what awaited him would be an unprecedented catastrophe.

Early the morning of the next day of the enthronement ceremony, the queen mother, who was over half a hundred years old, combed her makeup, sat on the sandalwood chair and closed her eyes to smell the wisps of fragrance emanating from the incense burner. The Queen Mother was very uneasy in her heart. The ups and downs that happened during such a period of time almost destroyed her, but fortunately, the prince grew up and saved everything bravely, and she was relieved that the prince successfully ascended the throne. This extraordinary period has finally passedβ€”today, the Queen Mother is waiting for the Xindi Emperor to come and see her, and wants to take this opportunity to settle the family affairs......

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor of the Earth has come to visit. ”

"Hurry up, please. The emperor walked in with a spring breeze on his face, and bowed when he saw the queen mother fall to the ground. The queen mother was so excited that she picked up the emperor and hugged him in her arms, her heart was sad and happy, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

The emperor knew that the queen mother thought of her father again, gently wiped away her tears, and deliberately diverted the topic: "The queen mother, early this morning, all the world sent good news, one to congratulate me on my accession to the throne, and the other to report the situation in each capital, on the whole, it is very good. ”

The queen mother hurriedly stopped her tears and sat down with the emperor. He said: "Son, you are now the head of the world, you must be cautious in everything, the difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles." Major matters should be discussed with the ministers, especially Uncle Weber, who is a loyal old minister, and has taken on great responsibilities in the court, and there are some things that you should listen to his opinion more Yes, after all, you are still young. ”

"The son obeys his mother's command. The Emperor of the Earth remembered that there were many books that he had not read, "The Queen Mother, if there is no other order, the son will retire first." ”

"Look at you, look at you, I just became the emperor of the earth, and I was annoyed by my mother," the queen mother smiled bitterly, "Son! I still have something serious to talk to you about, even if you don't listen to the script?"

The Emperor of the Earth said puzzledly: "The Queen Mother just speaks." ”

"You, it's not for your marriage, the local emperor has to choose a mother. The queen mother said to herself, "Uncle Weber has a niece who is dignified and of the same age as you, I will see if this matter is settled, and then choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to marry." In this way, I won't care about you in the future, whether you go on patrol or reading the notebook. ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and he never expected that the queen mother would propose marriage at this time. In a hurry, he couldn't stop crying out, since the source of the Yangtze River met the woman who helped him, the woman's beautiful image was imprinted in the heart of the emperor, and he couldn't stop thinking about her as soon as he was empty. I tried to appeal to the Queen Mother several times, but I gave up because of my busy affairs. At this time, I heard the Queen Mother mention it and realized that I had missed a good opportunity.

The queen mother was stunned when she saw the emperor and asked, "Son, isn't Uncle Weber's niece worthy of you?"

The emperor was anxious and knelt in front of the queen mother: "Can the marriage matter be ......delayed?"

The queen mother was taken aback: "Son, could it be that you have something unspeakable?"

The emperor ignored the jokes of the queen mother, and told her all the unforgettable and unforgettable memories of the encounter with the Furong girl.

The Queen Mother didn't know that there was this verse, and she was still afraid when she heard it. Naturally, I am very grateful to the woman who helped her. But such a strange woman actually grabbed the heart of the emperor, and the queen mother was extremely puzzled and displeased: "Son, you have given Peiyu to that woman, and if you find her in the future, you will not treat her badly." But after all, she is a mountain woman, and you are the head of the worldβ€”how can you two be compatible, if it spreads, where will our royal face go? Where will your prestige come from as the emperor of the earth in the future?"

However, no matter how the queen mother persuaded her, the always obedient emperor did not compromise in the end this time - this was a big surprise to the queen mother, but the queen mother did not let go of the mountain and wild woman. She thought: The mountain woman is thousands of miles away, and she doesn't know what her surname is, let alone who she is. Even if you use the emperor's decree to find it, it will take seven or eight years to find it. Uncle Weber's niece is close at hand, these few days to discuss and arrange for the two of them to meet, they are all young people who are just beginning to fall in love, I don't believe that they can't move their feelings - thinking of this, the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the emperor with a nervous face and said distressedly: "Son, if you don't figure it out, go back and think slowly, relax first and don't delay the big thing." ”

"Son, quit. The Earth Emperor was just about to turn around, and the guard Xiao Qizi flashed in the door to see the Queen Mother first, and said hurriedly: "The Earth Emperor, Wei Xiangye and more than ten members of the court are waiting outside the study, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to report. ”

The Earth Emperor was stunned for a moment: What is the urgency of 100,000 people? It's too exaggerated! But looking at Xiao Qizi's anxious appearance, it seems that the sky is about to fall.

As soon as I arrived at the study, Wei Xiangye was there, and Kyoto was in charge of Yuchang Mountain, and the officials of several counties in the suburbs of Beijing were there. A few of them stood outside the study, and they didn't talk because of the disparity in status, and they all looked around anxiously. The Earth Emperor spoke first: "Let you wait for a long time, if there is any big thing to come into the study and sit down to talk." ”

The ministers even said, "Don't dare." But the emperor and the little seventh son had already stepped into the study, so they had to follow one after another. Wei Xiangye took the first step, and without waiting for the emperor to sit down, he arched his hand and said, "The emperor of the earth, the big thing is not good." ”

The Earth Emperor frowned and said, "Master Wei, what is the big deal that makes you anxious like this." ”

"The Emperor of the Earth," Wei Xiangye didn't turn around, and said straightly, "Yesterday overnight, all the major water systems and Tanggu ditches and wells in Kyoto dried up, and there was also a water shortage in several suburban counties at the same time. The Emperor of the Earth, it's unprecedented, it's not good. ”

"Is that so?" The Earth Emperor gasped and exclaimed: "God, I offended you somewhere, and I can't get along with me by this means...... Xiao Qizi panicked, afraid that the Earth Emperor would be sad, and comforted awkwardly: "Earth Emperor, maybe...... Maybe it's drying up for a while, maybe tomorrow will be better again. ”

The Earth Emperor stood up and said, "The ministers will go out of the palace with me to see what it looks like?"

The ministers were anxious at first sight. Wei Xiangye said: "The emperor of the earth, the city has just lost the water source, the people are in a panic, the order is quite chaotic, and it may be inappropriate to visit at this time." ”

"Then we have to hide in the palace and do nothing. The Emperor was extremely displeased and pushed away the ministers. Or the Kyoto governor Yu Changshan is clever: "Emperor of the Earth, if you really want to go on patrol, please change into civilian clothes and micro-clothes to visit, and we will follow behind, so that it is safe and can visit some truths." ”

The emperor also felt that it was reasonable when he heard it, so he obeyed Yu Changshan's wishes, changed his clothes, and quietly walked out of the palace gate with Xiao Qizi, Wei Xiangye, and Yu Changshan......

When you come to the street, it is not as terrible as Wei Xiangye said. The streets of the market are still open, and there is still a lot of traffic, and there seems to be no special reaction to the sudden loss of water in the world. It's just that everyone's faces show some uneasiness, dark or shallow.

The four emperors walked around the city for a while, and inspected some lakes in the city by the way, but sure enough, there was no trace of water. Strolling to the "Gaojia Tea House", I heard a loud scolding. The emperor frowned and turned his head and broke in, there were many people in the tea house, there were many people drinking tea, and the quarrel attracted a lot of people, and the huge tea house was crowded.

The Earth Emperor stood outside the crowd, trying to squeeze in a few times and trying to get in. Xiao Qizi squeezed in front of the emperor of the earth and stretched out his hands and rushed forward desperately, but this rush did not rush in, but it hindered many onlookers, and turned around to scold Xiao Qizi and the emperor of the earth. Before he could speak, he suddenly saw Yuchangshan, but there were many people who knew him, where did he dare to speak, and he stood obediently on both sides to make a way.

This came to alarm the shopkeeper Gao of the tea house, who was fighting for it, and the shopkeeper Gao also recognized Yu Changshan when he saw it, and knelt down as if he had fished a life-saving straw: "Lord Yu, you came just in time, he wants to lift my tea house." ”

When he saw Yu Changshan, who quarreled with the high shopkeeper, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt in front of Yu Changshan and pleaded guilty.

When the emperor saw him wearing a soldier's uniform, he asked unhappily, "Who is he, such nonsense?"

Yu Changshan recognized him as the small leader guarding the east city gate. And I know that he is quite honest on weekdays, kind, and steady, but I don't know how to quarrel with the shopkeeper Gao today - and in front of the emperor. "...... Earth" Yu Changshan almost said the word Earth Emperor with one mouth, "Brother Di, he is a soldier at the East City Gate, surnamed Zhang, what is Zhang's name?"

"The little one is called Zhang Pizi. ”

"Ruffian...... It's not false to see that you are arrogant," the Emperor then asked, "ruffian, what are you arguing with this shopkeeper?"

Zhang Pizi raised his eyes and looked at it, knowing that this young man was not simple, and even Lord Yu Changshan, the governor of Kyoto, called him eldest brother, how dare he not respect him: "Back to this eldest brother, today my two brothers came here to drink tea, drank two bowls of tea and collected two dimes of silver, and we were soldiers in January Lu only six jiao-this surname Gao is not deliberately extortion, taking advantage of today's sudden water cut off to raise the price of water, I ...... I'm here to get justice. ”

It's for the water again, the Earth Emperor sighed, and looked at the shopkeeper Gao. The shopkeeper Gao looked bitter: "A few adults, I'm helpless, people are not as good as the sky, but I can't count that I won't see the water shadow today." My tea house is maintained by water, yesterday the emperor of Xindi ascended the throne and closed for a day without water storage, and the tea sold today was bought from the old well of the prince of Xiting, a small bucket of triangular silver, and it took a few guys to line up to buy, and I didn't make anything by selling a dime of silver and a bowl of tea. ”

"There is still water in the old well of the prince of Xiting?" Wei Xiangye showed a hint of joy, which proved that there was no shortage of water in the world.

"Yes, I heard that only his well has water in the whole capital, and the guy who came to carry the water just now said that the queue was ten miles away, and he knew that dozens of large tanks were full of water and he would make a fortune. "The shopkeeper only knew that business was not good and that he was missing out on business opportunities, but he didn't realize that water would endanger his life. He asked flatteringly: "Lord Yu, you can drink some tea, I will treat you and will not accept cash." ”

Yu Changshan turned his head disdainfully and quietly asked the Earth Emperor what to do. Wei Xiangye interjected: "Forget it, go to the Xiting Wang's house first and then make a decision, it's all for the water, no one can complain." Yu Changshan saw that the emperor nodded in agreement, then turned around and said: "Zhang Pizi, since the water of the high shopkeeper is expensive, you will admit it, go back and guard the city gate." Also, it is not allowed to disturb the order by this matter, let alone come to the tea house to make noise, and if you disobey the order, you will not be spared. ”

Zhang Pizi was worried that Lord Yu would punish him. At this time, I listened to Lord Yu's words, and I was so happy that I hurriedly left.

The shopkeeper Gao saw that Lord Yu had blown away the trouble, and thought that Lord Yu was helping him, and he couldn't thank him enough. But Yu Changshan pointed to his head and admonished: "Shopkeeper, the Wang family sells high-priced water and you sell high-priced tea, which can't be blamed on you." However, you must put up a sign at the entrance of the tea house to indicate the price of tea, and those who wish to drink it will not drink it. In addition, no matter what the price of the water you buy, you can only increase the salary as appropriate, and you must not take advantage of the fire to rob or disturb the water market, and if you find it, you will not be spared. "The high shopkeeper is naturally submissive.

Yu Changshan wanted to say a few more words in order to show his meticulousness and fraternity in front of the Earth Emperor, but Wei Xiangye rubbed him on the shoulder and urged: "Let's go." She winked at him again. Yu Changshan realized that he was here to accompany the emperor to inspect today, not for them to accompany him to ask about the case...... Embarrassment, he hurriedly left the Gao Family Tea House. Wei Xiangye went straight to Xiting.

Along the way, I saw a lot of buckets and burdens, and even more were pulled by horse-drawn carts, and the barrels on the carriages were filled with horn silver to exchange for water, which can really be described as "dripping water is as expensive as gold". Yu Changshan pointed to the carriage and said to Wei Xiangye: "I'm afraid these people's sense of distress is stronger than ours!" Wei Xiangye shook his head and sighed worriedly: "This is not a long-term solution. Even if there is water to drink, but the people of such an expensive water can drink it for a few days? Moreover, they can't fill their stomachs just by drinking water, and they can't grow grain without water. ”

Wei Xiangye saw that the emperor's face was not good, so he hurriedly stopped the topic, and pretended to joke with Yu Changshan lightly: "I said big fish, I used to think your name was quite incredible." 'Fish Changshan', can this fish live on the mountain? Alas! Now that there is no water, you big fish called Yu Changshan is also like that. ”

Yu Changshan didn't laugh when he heard this, how could he laugh? The Earth Emperor didn't laugh either. Xiao Qizi wanted to laugh on the side, but he didn't dare to laugh. Wei Xiangye also felt embarrassed, and suddenly saw that the alley in front of him was full of people, all of whom were carrying buckets and carrying carriages. Pulling over the bucket of old men passing by, the old man said: "This is all to buy water at the prince's house in Xiting, and the road to Xiting is blocked." ”

Yu Changshan exclaimed: "I'm afraid it's twenty miles to Xiting here, why are so many people going to buy water?"

The old man didn't know Yu Changshan, so he replied impatiently: "Don't go shopping, go home and bring a bucket to buy some ten dimes of silver." It's not certain when the water will come this day. ”

"How do you have a bucket of ten dimes of silver?"

"Rare things are expensive, I just heard that there is a bucket of ten dimes of silver, and I'm afraid it will rise again. The old man said as he broke away, and Wei Xiangye ran over and squeezed into the crowd.

The four emperors looked at each other. Yuchangshan is under the control of Kyoto, and the power of life and death in the capital must be passed through his hands. And at this time, this kind of thing appeared in front of the Earth Emperor--isn't it embarrassing!Yu Changshan pondered and asked, "This order ...... Do you want to send officers and soldiers to maintain it?"

The Earth Emperor frowned and said, "It's all about buying water, let's go to the West Pavilion to see it first." ”

"It's so crowded, I'm afraid I can't squeeze in. Yu Changshan had a bitter face.

"Then think of a way, and then follow the people in line. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work," Wei Xiangye knew the temper of the emperor of the earth, and persuaded very tactfully: "There is only one well in the palace of the prince of Xiting, and these hundreds of thousands of people are crowded all over the streets, and it will take at least a month and a half before he can get to Xiting - can the emperor wait?" Wei Xiangye looked at the Earth Emperor and said carefully: "It's not too early, let's go back before the way back to the palace is blocked, and leave the rest to the big fish." ”

The Emperor of the Earth saw a large number of panicked people coming from all sides and gradually lined up beside him, and the noise filled his ears...... I couldn't help but feel sour, and I couldn't help but shed a string of tears, this is the first time I have shed tears as an emperor, this is the tears of loving the people, which is different from the past. "Yu Changshan, you mobilize the officers and soldiers of the whole city to maintain the order of the water buyers. It is necessary to guard against people with ulterior motives taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and protect the safety of the common people. Also, if you have the opportunity to see the prince of Xiting, pass on my words, tell him not to make black-hearted silver with his conscience, and beware of dying. After that, he turned around with tears in his eyes and left, and he encountered such a "good" thing when he became the emperor of the earth - he never expected.

Wei Xiangye hurriedly followed the emperor, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and threw down a sentence: "Big fish, send more troops to the palace to protect the royal security." ”

Although Yu Changshan was panicked and unable to do anything, he read the weight from the faces of the emperor and Wei Xiangye, how dare he hesitate: "Weichen must do his best to protect the capital and protect the royal family." ”

When the Emperor hurried back to the palace, it was already twilight. The palace is no different, the scenery is still the same. But the emperor's mood couldn't get any better, just walked to the door of the study, through the faint moonlight glimpsed a stack of miscellaneous books on the table that had not been read, sighed, just about to walk in, suddenly heard a burst of footsteps behind him, turned his head and saw Xiao Qizi holding a stack of papers: "The emperor, the express report from each capital has just arrived, saying that the situation is urgent, I have to send it regardless of your rest." ”

"Express!" The Earth Emperor's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took a closer look, and his hands trembled before he finished reading. Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Qizi helped the Earth Emperor to sit on the chair, and asked in a panic, "Earth Emperor, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, hurry up and find Wei Xiangye and Master Yuankun. ”

The Emperor of the Earth sat on a chair, holding the express newspaper in his hand, but he was crying in his heart! The news of the water cut off came from the eastern capital, the southern capital, the western capital, and the northern capital...... Water is the foundation of survival, and when I first entered the political arena, I suffered this fate, even if I had three heads and six arms, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve the upside down of the people - there is a "grand event" in front of me that the people of the capital are queuing up to buy water...... If this is the case in the whole world, just as Wei Xiangye said, a bucket of water with ten jiao silver is sold, but how many buckets can the people drink can they drink......? It's no wonder that this development is not chaotic!

Just when the emperor was thinking nonsense, Wei Xiangye and Master Yuankun hurriedly came. The Emperor handed them the express report of the capital: "Look at it, it's not good!"

"All four in the world are cut off together, what a miracle!" Wei Xiangye handed the express to Master Yuan Kun.

Master Yuan Kun took it and didn't look at it, brushed the white beard and said: "Earth Emperor, I took advantage of the night to look at the astrological chart, and found that there is a black halo in the constellation of the Water Dragon Officer, which is a bad omen for the Water Dragon Official!"

"Could it be that something happened to the water dragon officer?"

"Looking at his dizziness, the dragon official seems to be in prison!"

"No wonder, the water dragon official commands the water dragon, he has a prison disaster, will there be water in the world!" Wei Xiangye seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "If the water cut off is due to the water dragon official, I think it may be that the dragon lord was negligent for a while and did not take care of the world, which led to such a strange thing happening to the water dragon without a head - the earth emperor, I will see if we should organize everyone to make offerings to the dragon lord and remind him that there is no water in the world." What's more, there was a demon dragon incident some time ago, although it was their fault, but it also involved the dragon clan - let's not care about it, and take this opportunity to end it together. ”

The emperor of the earth listened to it very unpleasantly, and he himself couldn't tell the reason, after killing the demon dragon last time, he hated the dragon seed so much, and originally planned to demolish all the dragon king temples in the world after ascending the throne...... It seems to be in vainβ€”after pondering for a long time, he nodded reluctantly: "In that case, I'll leave this matter to the two of you." ”

Wei Xiangye and Master Yuan Kun received their orders, how dare they delay for half a minute. The division of labor between the two and twos, one is to be ordered by the emperor to be handed over to each of them as soon as possible to organize the implementation, and the other is to arrange to set up a general altar in the capital......

An unprecedented scale of worship of the dragon lord was carried out all over the world, killing pigs and sheep...... Five grains and six animals surrounded the dragon king temples in various places......

However, the sincerity of the people of the world did not touch the heart of the Dragon King. A month and a half passed, and there was not a drop of water......

The failure to ask for water shocked the government and the opposition. It also makes people all over the world panic, and there is no peace. What is even more worrying is that due to the lack of water, some old and infirm people can't bear the hunger and thirst and give up......

The Emperor of the Earth sat in the study of the deep palace, and almost every moment he could hear the mourning voices and heart-stirring mourning voices in the capitalβ€”he had been sitting for a day and a night.

Xiao Qizi quietly flashed into the study again, held a glass of water in his hand, stood in front of the Earth Emperor, and said cautiously: "Earth Emperor, Earth Emperor, drink some water!" Xiao Qizi looked at the white and blistering lips of the Earth Emperor and felt astringent in his heart: he is the first in the world, and there is still enough water for him to drink, but he is so stubborn that he doesn't even touch it.

In the face of Xiao Qizi, the Earth Emperor did not react at all, Xiao Qizi did not dare to persuade again, and was ready to retreat. Suddenly, a black ball fell into Xiao Qizi's arms, and before Xiao Qizi could see clearly, the black ball climbed into his hand and drank water.

Xiao Qizi finally saw clearly, it was a mouse...... In the scream, he hurriedly covered the mouth of the cup but ran into trouble, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered. The water rippled across the bluestone floor, a thin layer of reflections. The culprit rat didn't run away, and lay down at the feet of Xiao Qizi and licked the layer of water that could only be called "Water Shadow" desperately, squeaking while licking.

Xiao Qizi was angry, slapped the mouse out of the way, hit the pillar and didn't move, didn't scream, just smacked his sharp mouth as if he hadn't drunk enough.

The water had not yet dried up, which made the little Qizi who was lying on the ground ecstatic, and he lowered his head and stretched out his tongue to lick the already pitiful "water shadow" to no longer - the little Qizi grinned, comfortable, and picked up the broken cup with great satisfaction. As soon as his hand reached over, he found that the ground emperor's frozen feet suddenly moved.

Xiao Qizi was startled, and looked up to see the Earth Emperor staring at him.

"Little Qizi, is the water better or is the life better?"

"The water is good ......," Xiao Qizi blurted out in fear.

"Yes, the water is good, the rat dared to break into the Emperor's study to grab water from your little seventh son in order to drink saliva, although he lost his life, but after all, he drank water...... You think the same as a mouse. ”

Xiao Qizi was stunned, just like a mouse. Then he was going to kill me, so he immediately changed his appearance, kowtowed and said: "The little one who smashed the water cup by mistake deserves death." The Earth Emperor frowned and said, "Isn't it just a glass of water! I really killed you and couldn't pay it backβ€”all the ministers are in the court?"

"Back to the Earth Emperor, when you entered the study the day before yesterday, several adults came, and they saw that you were quite tired, so they didn't let them disturb you," Xiao Qizi breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't they all waiting outside the study - call them in?"

The Earth Emperor nodded.

The ministers outside the study were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, even though they understood that they were in a hurry. But it was spring, and the busy farming season for spring sowing was inadvertently approaching. With the intensification of the water shortage and the failure to seek water, there have been popular movements of varying degrees in all parts of the world, and a small number of saboteurs have taken advantage of the situation to spread rumors. As a result, there were many frictions between the people and the soldiers, which intensified and developed into a situation of confrontation.

What else could officials from all over the country do? I had to go to Kyoto to find the emperor, and the black crows were surrounded outside the study. If it weren't for Wei Xiangye, I was afraid that the palace would be overturned.

The emperor appeared in front of the ministers with a haggard face, and looked at the Beijing officials and local officials in front of him, almost bringing together the officials of the world. He swept a wry smile: "It's rare, those who have met today and those who have never met are here." ”

The ministers have long been solemn, and the dozing and unsightly ones have also entered the role in an instant. In front of the emperor who does not lose his majesty, he still respectfully greets and salutes.

Wei Xiangye took the first step: "Earth Emperor, all the people have gathered." There is no good news! In the past two days, Master Yuan Kun has worshiped the Dragon Lord on the main altar again, but there is still no response!"

The Earth Emperor stood at the door of the study without moving, and sat on the chair brought by Xiao Qizi. Gazing at each minister expressionlessly, it seemed that he could only find life on the minister's face. When I saw Yu Changshan in the crowd, I suddenly thought of something: "Yu Changshan, how is the well of the prince of Xiting!"

"Return to the Emperor of the Earth. Yu Changshan cried with a sad face, "The prince's house was robbed within a few days of selling water, not only smashed the well, but also killed and injured many people. ”

"Why, didn't you pay attention to order in the first place?"

"It's going to be maintained. But my soldiers have also suffered many casualties, and apart from the soldiers guarding the palace, I have no soldiers in my hands to adjust. ”

The Emperor of the Earth found that Yu Changshan's face was bruised and his legs were limping, and he was obviously beaten up. couldn't help sighing: "It's also bitter for you, and I can't blame you for this." After browsing around, he still stared at Wei Xiangye and asked him for advice.

In fact, Wei Xiangye has long been anxious, he is the oldest in the court, the oldest and the oldest is under one person and above ten thousand, where is it too much to breathe in the middle. Since the water was cut off for half a month, he had to work hard in the capital, and he had to make proper arrangements for officials from all over the country to come to Beijing...... Nothing can be done without him.

"Earth Emperor," Wei Xiangye said, "I have calculated with all the officials in the past two days, and you must not live without water, so finding water is the top priority at the moment!"

"Looking for water?" the Earth Emperor frowned, "The Dragon King also asked, what can he do if he doesn't give it?"

"Yes, it is precisely because the Dragon Lord does not give it that we are going to find water, and we have discussed it with the Marquis of Buda in the Western Capital, which is vast and sparsely populated. Although the water was cut off, Buda Hou rushed all the way to find that many mountains and trees were lush and prosperous, and there was no sign of malaise. ”

"You mean there's a living water source there?"

"Yes," the Marquis of the Western Capital also came up and interjected, "I don't dare to say that there must be water, but there is always some hope, as long as the emperor orders it, I will take people and horses to develop it." ”

"Good, good," the Earth Emperor was in high spirits, and his excitement was unusual, "I'll go to find the water source myself." Master Yuan Kun went with me, and the Xidu Hou led the team to set off immediately. ”

Wei Xiangye was stunned, what's wrong with this emperor, he was in a hurry without discussing it, and wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him. But the emperor has already asked Xiao Qizi to pack up.

"This ......," Wei Xiangye smiled carefully, "too... It's too rushed......"

The Earth Emperor glanced at it, how could he not understand his thoughts, and stopped and said without worry: "Uncle Web, if you can't find water, the world is unstable, how can I call the Earth Emperor - the Queen Mother, please ask you!"

Five
