Xie Qingrong immediately rejected Xuanyuan Chen's suggestion, "I'm still okay with it. We should hurry to Nanping. Don't dilly-dally. If we can't reach the Nanping before nightfall, with the rain, even sleeping in the suburbs won't work. "

When he finished, he whipped the horse's back. The horse let out a cry of pain and immediately dashed forward.

The Nanping's Great Guardian, Lu Shouyi, and a bunch of people from the yamen, stood guard at the entrance of the Nanping City's city gate.

The howling wind could not dispel the firm belief in the Lutestre to think for the common people. In that case, the boundless heavy rain similarly did not wet Xu Ting's firm belief to follow his lord.

They were both silent as they waited for the Minister of Government to arrive.

"Da da ~"

The faint sound of hooves could be heard.

"Da da ~"

Gradually, the sound of the horse's hooves grew closer and closer, as if it was right beside his ears.

The sky gradually darkened, and heavy rain poured down. The rain was dense and dense, but Xu Ting could clearly see a few indistinct figures in the rain.

Xu Ting was wild with joy, "Your Excellency, did you see that?" They are here! "

Seeing that, Lutestre's face that was originally a little worried was instantly covered with happiness. His eyes seemed to flash with tears, "Really?"

God knows.

How much did the Lutestre look forward to the arrival of the officials in charge of the administration?

This torrential rain continued for half a month, after the Nanping's dam burst. Every single day, he would think of all sorts of ways to block the gap in the Nanping, but he would helplessly burst through the wall. As such, he always lived in fear. He couldn't afford to gamble on the lives of the people of Nanping City.

When he heard that the Yicheng was completely submerged, he played the role of emperor. Finally, the Emperor sent a minister, and they heard that this minister had quite a strong background. No one knew what sort of person he was.

Finally, the Lutestre clearly saw the four figures in the rain.

"Da da ~"

The sounds of horse hooves passing through the rain reached Lutestre's ears, and the four figures were just inches away.

Xuanyuan Chen dismounted from his horse. His movements were nimble and handsome as he shook off the rain that had accumulated on him.

Lutestre carried on his official's salute, but just as he was about to kneel down, a pair of ice-cold big hands held his arms, preventing him from doing so.

"Milord, there is no need to be so courteous."

A low and deep voice sounded beside Lutestre's ears. Lutestre only felt that this voice sounded familiar, and raised his head to look.

It was actually Prince Chen!

A few years ago, he had the privilege of meeting the Prince Chen once. When he was young, he had already gradually gained the appearance of a god and had not completely forgotten about it.

"Prince Chen, are you the minister sent by the Emperor?" Lutestre asked in disbelief.

After Xuanyuan Chen helped Lutestre up, he withdrew his hand, curled his lips, and laughed: "Why, Lutestre, do you not believe me? Lin Mu, bring the imperial edict over for Lutestre to see. "

"Yes."

Lin Mu replied as he took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the bag on the horse.

Lutestre quickly stopped him and tried to explain: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm a little shocked. This humble official thought that the Emperor would send the Lord Minister, but he never expected it to be the Prince Chen. Prince Chen, please come with me. I will explain to you about the water calamity that has befallen Nanping in the past half month. "

Xuanyuan Chen walked in the front, while Lutestre respectfully walked half a step behind him. His expression was neither fawning nor humble.

Xie Qingrong, Lin Mu and Zhangsun Wenxuan silently pulled their horses and followed behind.

It was not easy walking all the way to the county magistrate court.

The long street was filled with water, and even more so, the lower part had formed a small pool. However, the degree of disaster that Nanping suffered was slightly better than that of the Yicheng s.

Yicheng was after all, a small county city, and could not be compared to Nanping.

I wonder how the Yicheng is doing now.

Xie Qingrong gazed into the distance. The rain had been falling non-stop, as if it was going to fall right into her heart.

"A Rong, come here." Xuanyuan Chen opened the map of the Nanping on the table and stopped his train of thoughts.

Xuanyuan Chen pointed to the location of the Nanping Dam, which was marked with the entrance to the dike. He frowned, "This place's terrain is not detailed enough, This King needs a more accurate terrain."

Lin Mu and Zhangsun Wenxuan also looked at the direction where Xuanyuan Chen's finger was pointing and frowned.

Indeed, the area around the entrance to the dike was simply marked and not a complete picture of the surrounding terrain. Just knowing the location was far from enough.

It would increase the difficulty of emergency repairs.

"Lin Mu, come with me to the entrance of the dam tomorrow." Xie Qingrong said.

"Alright." Lin Mu replied.

He already had a plan in mind. He knew that the princess was trying to figure out the location of the dike and draw a specific map.

Zhangsun Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at Xie Qingrong with concern.

The area around the entrance to the dike was extremely dangerous. If another flood were to rush over aggressively …

Xie Qingrong herself knew that this was extremely dangerous. However, at this point, no one was more suitable than her.

Xuanyuan Chen nodded his head, the worry in his eyes was about to spill out, but he did not try to stop Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong's cold eyes met Xuanyuan Chen's worried eyes, and with a curve of her lips, his eyes immediately softened a bit as she said with a smile: "Prince, no need to worry, if I wasn't completely confident, I would definitely not open my mouth."

"Anyway, be careful." Xuanyuan Chen could not help but ask.

If he did not accept this responsibility, A Rong would not have to risk going to the mouth of the river. It was for his own selfish sake that A Rong had taken such a risk.

In the future, this kind of thing would never happen again.

"Master Lu, Wen Xuan, you two will accompany this king tomorrow to visit the countryside to learn more about the current situation and the thoughts of the common people. Remember to write them down as useful in the future."

Lutestre solemnly nodded his head, Zhangsun Wenxuan also smiled, instantly his eyebrows turned warm, his elegant temperament blossomed.

"Prince Chen and the other lords, why don't you have dinner together? This official's residence is very simple and crude. I hope the lords will not mind. " Lutestre suggested.

Xuanyuan Chen and the rest rushed over from Yicheng early in the morning, and since they were all hungry, they did not push it.
