Yun Jinghu raised his hand and gently stroked the icy city gate, his eyes focused and nostalgic: "This is the place where the father and the empress once lived."

Even though he had heard literati reciting or praising this sea city countless times before, and even saw the sketch map of this city with his own eyes, the impact of those words and pictures floating on the paper brought him nothing. It is far less shocking than standing at the gate of the city at this moment.

The thick city gate is full of rust, and stands here silently with a long and long history. The pouring rain pours down, continuously flowing down the city gate, and rushing along the ditch beside the road. .

Standing here, he seems to have seen through decades of years, the youthful prince Xiangguo and the young prince walking hand in hand, and that pair of handsome couple holding an umbrella in the rain, showing enough love to him. The light smile of the amazing time.

Mo Yun stood behind Yunjing Lake to hold an umbrella for him, and conveniently put a heavy cloak on his shoulders.

Although it is only the beginning of autumn now, the temperature in Anyi City, which has been raining continuously for less than half a month, has dropped a lot. Pedestrians in twos and threes on the street have already wrapped their bodies in thick cotton clothes.

"The people in this city are all wearing new cotton clothes. It seems that Anyi City is a prosperous city." Hu Wei followed behind Xu Qingyang, stretched her neck and looked around at this Haicheng, which is very different from the style of Kyoto. , After a moment, I couldn't help but admire.

Xu Qingyang shook his head, but did not speak.

Yun Jinghu took a look at her: "The temperature in Anyi City is the coldest and not much colder, and the people in the city can't wear such heavy cotton clothes. You see that the cotton clothes on them are brand new, but you don't see that the stitches of their clothes are crooked. One can tell that it was made in a hurry. Presumably, it has been raining heavily in the past few days, and there are waves pouring in, which caused the temperature in the vicinity to drop sharply, and the people had to rush to make cotton clothes to keep out the cold."

"However, when the torrential rain hit, the city was in order. The great contribution is still due to the fact that when my father and queen rebuilt the city, they built hundreds of drainage channels. There is no flood accumulation, which saves the suffering of the flood and the waste of people and money. "

Yunjinghu looked at the rainwater flowing out of the drains on both sides of the street, and suddenly had a strange thought, "They probably didn't expect to have a catastrophe today, so they dug the ditches in advance. ?”

After saying this, Yun Jinghu himself laughed: "Probably not."

His father and queen are ordinary people, well, even if they are not so ordinary ordinary people, it is impossible for them to calculate the future, and predict that one day in a few decades, Anyi will be hit by a heavy rain.

Ling Xiao who was next to him touched his nose silently, I am sorry, I am afraid that this result was really calculated by Tan Yuan.For the lord of the heavens, calculating the doom is just a matter of turning his mind.

However, it was only after being reminded by Yunjinghu that Ling Xiao realized this.

Although Anyi is close to the coast, there is not much rainfall, and because of the high terrain, there is very little rainwater accumulation.When Tanyuan ordered the excavation of drainage ditches, many people raised objections.It's just that Tan Yuan insisted on doing so, so they could only obey orders.

Unexpectedly, the plan at the beginning was prepared to be used decades later. Without these canals, Anyi would become a huge iron bucket to store rainwater, and the only choice for the people in the city was to abandon the city and flee.

Yun Jinghu watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street. Although the worry on his brows did not disappear, none of them were particularly flustered. Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "An Yi Ling can make the people in the city not panic. Not chaotic, it is considered meritorious for protecting the city. After this flood, he can be transferred to a more suitable position."

In the face of such a catastrophe, the chief officials of the city contributed a lot to appease the hearts of the people.

As the few people were talking, a convoy escorted by soldiers suddenly appeared at the gate of the city and rumbled into the city. The officers and soldiers at the head trotted forward on tall horses.

Seeing someone blocking the way ahead, the officers and soldiers on horseback slowed down a little and reminded loudly.

"Give way, don't block the way ahead!"

Ling Xiao and his party immediately retreated to the side of the street to make way, watching as the team of officers and soldiers escorted dozens of heavy wooden boxes with official seals across the market.

"Brother, what do you think will be in that box? Could it be delicious?" Hu Wei licked the corner of her mouth and asked eagerly.

Xu Qingyang rubbed her temples feebly: "No."

"I heard that Master Ouyang sent someone to ask the prefect for support. I think this car is filled with grain and winter clothes, right?"

"I guess so. Otherwise, why would Catcher He be in such a hurry to escort the convoy into the city?"

"It's great. With the continuous rainstorm for more than ten days, the rice tank in our house has bottomed out, and the salted fish and seafood are not something we can eat every day. Now that these supplies have arrived, I have to go home to get the money and wait for it. It’s time to buy some good things and go home.”

"It would be great if there were fresh and tender green vegetables. My family has typhoid fever, and I just want to drink green vegetable porridge!"

"..."

The crowd on the street discussed in twos and threes for a while, and then dispersed happily.

It can be seen that after the convoy entered the city, smiles appeared on the faces of the originally depressed residents.

Yun Jinghu nodded slightly: "Although the governor of Youzhou lied about the disaster in the memorial, it is not too late to rush to rescue Anyi."

Anyway, it can barely balance the merits and demerits.

Hearing this, Shangguan Muyun who was standing beside him sneered.

"Master," Hu Wei has always been afraid of this bad-tempered master more than anything else. Seeing his disdainful smile now, she asked cautiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Shangguan Muyun turned his head to look at Yunjing Lake, and said indifferently: "I'm laughing, the king of a country is so childish, it can be seen that the future of the Great Yong Dynasty may have nowhere to go. But since you were taught by Yun Xi , it is not uncommon to have such a performance.”

Yun Jinghu looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Mo Yun glanced at Shangguan Muyun coldly: "You just noticed that the wooden boxes in the convoy were empty. What's so proud of you? Your Majesty has talented people around him. Naturally, other people will help him with such trivial matters." After the investigation is clear, and then handed over to the sage for judgment, why do you have to do everything yourself? Those who govern others use virtue instead of skill, Taoism instead of strategy, and etiquette instead of power. Your Excellency will not understand such simple principles Don't you know?"

Shangguan Muyun was at a loss for words, and after a while, he snorted and stopped talking.

Ling Xiao folded his arms, smiling as he watched the two exchange words, stroking the silver dragon bracelet on his wrist with his fingers.

Shangguan Muyun has always been not good at speech, even after living for so many years, he still cannot gain the slightest advantage in speech.

And his cultivation is not as good as Mo Yun...

He is incomparable to others in every way, but he is known as a genius for nothing, and he doesn't know how strong Shangguan Muyun's psychological endurance is to be able to live for so many years as if nothing had happened.

"Since there is something tricky in it, let's go and find out." Yun Jinghu squinted his eyes, and he also wanted to know why An Yiling let his subordinates escort a group of empty boxes into the city.

Ling Xiao raised his head to look at the sky, and the thick cloud city was hanging secretly above the city, but further away on the sea, that's where the dark clouds gather.

Seriously, Anyi City is just the edge of the dark cloud.

"It seems that the squid is still some distance away from the shore, so let's take a look at the Anyi order first." Ling Xiao nodded lightly, agreeing with Yunjing Lake's idea.

Shangguan Muyun seemed to have a different opinion, but the other people naturally didn't care about his opinion, and walked towards the official office in Anyi in front of them.

Ling Xiao waved his sleeves, and a powerful and invisible force rushed up to the sky in an instant, and easily used magic to push away the black clouds piled up above Anyi, revealing the clear sky.

As the warm golden sun fell, everyone in the city couldn't help but stop and look up at the long-lost good weather overhead.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, and a fresh scent of rain mixed with soil wafted in the air, Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

It is this kind of weather that makes you feel like returning to Anyi City.

However, this move he inadvertently made the four people except Yunjinghu shocked again.

Even if it was Mo Yun, he thought it would not be difficult to dispel the dark clouds above his head, but it was almost impossible to be as light as Ling Xiao.

Looking at Ling Xiao with a cold smile on his face, Mo Yun felt more and more unpredictable about this person

Anyi City is not big, and the population in the city is only over [-].

Ling Xiao followed the route in his memory and led a few people to find the official office.

However, the Youwang Mansion in his memory has been changed to Qiandi, after all, this is the place where the first emperor lived successively, no matter who lives in it again, it will be considered an offense.

Later, this hidden residence was changed into the Royal Winter Palace for the royal family to rest in winter.

Of course, the Winter Palace is too far away from the capital. Although it has been changed, no royal family has ever lived here.

And Anyi's government office has also moved to the opposite of Qiandi.

Mingyuan Drum is located on the right side of the yamen, and the two majestic stone beasts are wide open with anger. In this legendary beast statue that can distinguish between right and wrong, there is no animal soul, but two stone shells.

On the contrary, the two statues of door gods posted on the door, there are indeed door gods guarding the gate of the official yamen.

Seeing Ling Xiao coming to the door, two door gods knelt down on both sides with a burst of red light: "Meet Xianjun."

Of course, only Ling Xiao can see these two door gods.

He waved his hand lightly: "Excuse me, don't worry about me. I just came from the lower realm to subdue that squid, and I have no other business."

The two door gods nodded, and then disappeared with a burst of red light.

On the other hand, Yun Jinghu rubbed his eyes suddenly, and asked in confusion, "What was that just now?"

Mo Yun frowned: "Did Your Majesty see anything?"

Yun Jinghu was not sure: "I seem to see two..."

He took another look at the statue of the door god pasted on the gate of the official office, and shook his head: "I must have misread it."

The sky is bright and bright, how could there be any door gods wearing black clothes and soap boots?He must have read it wrong.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, how could Yunjing Lake see people from the fairy world?

"What's the situation, son?" He asked Tan Yuan in a low voice.

As a holy dragon, Tan Yuan actually likes this kind of wet weather very much.He wrapped it comfortably on Lingxiao's wrist: "Didn't he say it, he was wrong."

Ling Xiao: "..."

Suddenly there is an urge to be a widow!
