Hu Xinyue continued: "Although there are a few people who want to control the water, but they are all idle lazy people and cowards, disabled and mentally retarded, but they just want to eat together, how can I recruit such people? So I drove them all away, so these people spread rumors everywhere and belittled us and others, and even fewer people wanted to participate in the water control!"

Hearing Fox Xinyue's complaints, Ji Wenming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that in the past ten days, he had suffered so many grievances in Pusaka City.

Thinking about getting along for a long time, Fox Xinyue has become an adult, and she still has a bit of a handsome appearance, standing together like brothers......

Ji Wenming patted Fox Xinyue's shoulder and comforted: "The matter is difficult, if you do it, you will succeed, you should go far, and you will reach it with one step!"

Fox Xinyue said, "What does this mean?"

Ji Wenming explained: "This is a passage that the predecessors of Cangshenghou once taught me, although things are difficult, but as long as you continue to do it, you can achieve it, although the goal is far away, as long as you go, you can reach it!

Hearing this, a spark of hope gradually ignited in Fox Xinyue's eyes, and it said: "Now the plan, it is better to go to the East Spirit Domain to gather the old department and go to Jizhou to control the water, as long as the water control is successful, your name will naturally spread, and it will be much smoother to recruit people at that time!"

Ji Wenming opened his mouth and said: "This is very good, you will go to the Eastern Spirit Domain to gather people! Before coming to Pusaka, the old man also told me to visit Houji and Bo Fei first, and the two of them recommended me to control the water, and I think I also have some experience in water control to communicate with me, but I was negligent and forgot about this matter! I will visit the two of them first in the past few days to ask for help!"

Hu Xinyue was reluctant to be separated from Ji Wenming, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't we go together?"

Ji Wenming said: "Xinyue, you and my brother, there will be many opportunities to get together in the future! How can you miss a big thing because of personal feelings! Now that the matter of controlling the water is not waiting for me, we should act separately and give you a chance to take charge of yourself!"

Fox Xinyue reluctantly said with tears in her eyes: "Okay!"

Ji Wenming advised: "You can go straight to the School Palace when you go to the East Spirit Domain this time, find a few elders to help, and gather people and horses, so as not to tire yourself, and things will be easier at that time!

After the two agreed to return, they went their separate ways......

Ji Wenming remembered the old man's teachings this time and went to Houji Mansion to visit......

Pusaka Castle is built on the mountain, on the top of the mountain is the palace of the emperor, below is the residence of various ministers, below the mountainside is the residence of soldiers and people, in the dozens of peaks outside Pusaka, there are also countless ethnic groups inhabited, so it can form a large city with 100,000 people.

Ji Wenming bought a few gifts on the market along the way, and while looking for directions, he finally touched Houji's house, but was unexpectedly blocked by a middle-aged man......

The man had an ordinary face, but he had a pointed mouth and a long neck, and he walked like a crab, which made people bored at first sight.

Ji Wenming arched his hand and said, "May I ask if this is Houji's mansion?"

The man stood at the door and hung his arms and said, "Who are you?

Ji Wenming didn't know the identity of this person, of course he didn't dare to say anything about water control, so he lied and said: "I am his distant relative, the first time I came to Puban City, I specially came to visit!"

The man pursed his mouth and stretched out his hand to signal, "Since it's a visit, can you bring a gift?"

Ji Wenming hurriedly handed over the gift package in his hand and said, "A little gift is not a respect!"

The man picked up his gift, and took a cursory look, it was actually the common dried fish, vermilion shell, game, and mountain delicacies in the city, and his face was full of disdain, only to see him reach out and throw out the gift bag of Ji Wenming, drop it on the street, and said: "This thin gift is too thin, my lord has something to do, and I will not see the guest!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's neck by the collar, and said angrily: "Who are you? You dare to refuse guests instead of Houji? Just because the gift I brought can't get into your dog's eyes? Tell me what gift you want? How about the big-eared melon seeds?"

Ji Wenming stretched out his big hand, and he kept pumping the man's mouth seven or eight times in succession, only his face was bruised, and his cheeks were swollen......

Although the man was beaten, his mouth was very stiff, and he still said: "You still dare to beat someone? Don't you know that it depends on the owner to beat the dog?"

Ji Wenming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that this person couldn't be Houji's relative, and he beat him by himself, which was also a little offensive, but it was not appropriate.

But everyone has beaten it, and it's too late to think about it! At this moment, we should think about how to remedy it.

Ji Wenming put down his hand, helped this person straighten his collar, and then casually took out a palm-sized gold leaf from his arms, handed it to him and said: "You are a responsible watchdog, you have angered the master, and you have been beaten, so I can't reward you!"

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, but he said reluctantly: "Do you think you can buy me with just a gold leaf?

As soon as Ji Wenming heard that there was a door, he took out a gold brick and threw it in his hand, a gold ingot was dozens of catties, and the man couldn't hold it with one hand, so he fell it with a bang and smashed it on the surface of his feet......

The man sat on the ground, and while aching, he reached out and pinched the gold ingot, and said happily, "This is also for me?"

"Hmph, greedy villain! It's good that you are greedy for money, otherwise it would have been even more difficult for me to do this!" Ji Wenming scolded secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "That's right, it's all yours! Now, can I go in and visit Houji?"

The man grinned and took a bite on the gold ingot, and found that the tooth marks were clear, so he took the gold ingot into his arms and tied it tightly with his belt, and then replied: "It's unfortunate that you're here! Your Excellency has gone out to run errands! He is busy with official business, presiding over the breeding and seedling breeding of all the crops of the Great Wilderness Human Clan, but you can wait here for him to come back!"

Ji Wen said in his heart: "If you are not at home, you don't say it earlier...... Aren't you wronged by talking to me for a long time?"

As soon as the thought arose, I suddenly heard someone in the distance speak: "Meng Si'er, you came to my door to fight the autumn breeze again?"

The man with a sharp mouth and a long neck hurriedly got up, saluted and said, "What's there, I saw someone coming to visit you, so I'll help you receive it, this friend, the Lord Houji you are looking for is here!"

Ji Wenming turned his head to look, a thin man in his forties was walking from the street, he was dark-skinned, dressed in sackcloth, and looked like a peasant, at this moment, he nodded at Ji Wenming with a friendly expression, and said to Meng Si'er: "What's the matter with your face?

Meng Si'er hurriedly replied: "No, no, I knocked it myself! The threshold of the adult's house is too high, and I fell too hard!"

Hou Ji smiled: "There is no threshold, it is estimated that you drank too much yesterday!"

Meng Si'er took the benefit of Ji Wen's life, but he didn't dare to say that he was beaten, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope at the moment, only said that he had drunk too much, and then said goodbye.
