No one had come to stay in the shop for a long time, everything was covered with dust. After getting the permission of the inn owner, Yuwen Xiao and the rest entered the shop.

The guards began to get busy.

Yin Lin and Lu Yi took the lead and cleaned up a table, letting Xiao Ruyue sit down and rest. The owner of the inn had been standing far away, watching Yuwen He and Yuwen He.

Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue looked at each other but did not say a word.

After learning that there was a well in the backyard that was clean enough to use, she cheerfully pulled Liangqiu Yayin's hand and went to the backyard to fetch some water. As to why she insisted on bringing Miss Liangqiu along, Xiao Ruyue guessed that this girl was probably worried that someone might have done something to the well due to the fact that they were unfamiliar with this place.

Being in a difficult situation and being fed by tigers and wolves, it was natural for her to be cautious and considerate.

Just from this point alone, Yuwen He was able to praise her as: "Kid, you can teach me."

He was clearly praising Lu Yi, but he actually flattered his beloved. Yin Lin and Chong Yue understood the meaning behind his words, they both looked at each other, smiling without saying a word.

At this time, General Shen Liang Shen and Chong Yang had already left. When they were new here, they had to scout out the local customs and practices, and know themselves and the other party to be at the end of the line.

Lu Yi was a nimble girl, and was able to get water very quickly. Yuwen He let Yin Lin watch over Xiao Ruyue and went to the backyard himself, but he did not know what he was doing there.

After a while, Lu Yi came back with a pot of water. The water was clear, cold and sweet, not like the water along the river, but more like a mountain spring.

Lu Yi was still whispering in Xiao Ruyue's ear mysteriously, saying that it was too late to boil the fire in her ears. The Lord had used his internal energy to boil the water.

Yuwen He prepared for her to mysteriously go to the backyard, just for this kind of thing?

Xiao Ruyue found it funny, but she was feeling very good.

After a while, the innkeeper went to help clean up the guest room. With so many people cleaning up the place, it was as if the inn had been renovated after an hour.

Xiao Ruyue drank two cups of water to quench her thirst and also rolled up her sleeves to help. However, these people were all Yuwen He's loyal subordinates and knew that she was wearing a suit of armor.

Hence, she was forced to bring Yin Lin to sit in the car, the sense of superiority of a mistress suddenly came out.

Yuwen He even thought of her: You're not one out of so many people.

It was completely dark by the time they finished packing up and checked in.

It was just as the boss had said, there was basically nothing to eat in the inn, just a little rice and some dishes. Luckily, Yuwen He and the others were not simply visiting people, they bought some food and meat at Lin County. After cleaning up the kitchen, Yin Lin and the chef helped Lu Yi cook.

After Chong Yang, Shen Liang and the others returned from their tour, they explained the situation in the city to Yuwen He.

They said that the harvest before the big water, this year has no harvest. Most of the townspeople didn't have half a jar of rice in their homes, and there weren't many grains of rice in the porridge. They just drank to satisfy their hunger.

Some of the food supplies were still considered good, while others were even worse. The family had run out of rice grains and were already digging out the roots and barks.

Previously, when Qingyang County Order reported to the Imperial Court that he had encountered a flood, the authorities organized a disaster for his people and also reported it to the Imperial Court.

But now it seemed that the so-called disaster reported by the Qingyang County Order was completely different from the truth.

"How preposterous!" Yuwen He slapped the table heavily.

"Does this Qingyang County Order know that His Majesty has arrived in person and is still daydreaming that he has kept everything under wraps? Or is this what he meant by 'the situation has greatly improved'?" Xiao Ruyue snorted coldly right after.

If not for the fact that he was out, Yuwen He would not be as simple as slapping the table and saying "how preposterous".

Wang Shangshu and the two engineering officials did not look good. It was fortunate that the head of the Department of the Civil Service was not here, if not she would have been scared to the point of hiding at the door.

The dinner was ready. When they went downstairs to eat, everyone was affected by this matter and they didn't eat their chopsticks for a long time.

On the other hand, Xiao Ruyue consoled everyone, "Eat, only after you're full will you have the strength to work."

As he spoke, he took off his veil.

Originally, they wanted to have a meal in the room, but they didn't have much to worry about when they were outside, so they used it together.

Yuwen He called for the inn owner to come and sit at the same table as Wang Shangshu and the others.

As he ate, the owner of the inn praised green girl's cooking skills, while at the same time, he did not forget to observe everyone from the sidelines.

In the end, his gaze concentrated on Yuwen He's and Xiao Ruyue's faces once again.

After returning from the General Shen and Chong Yang's side, Yuwen He's face had darkened, only when he was talking to Xiao Ruyue did he look good. After eating dinner, Xiao Ruyue took the initiative to have Yuwen He accompany her for a walk.

When the innkeeper heard her words, his hand that was cleaning up the dishes stopped for a moment, and he said sarcastically, "The moon is about to go out, what can we see in the dark?"

Yuwen He frowned, he was obviously unhappy, but Xiao Ruyue held onto his arm and smiled at him, then called out to Yin Lin, "Light the lamp."

Yin Lin then went to light up two lanterns, one for each of them, and one for each of them as they made way for the other.

Actually, they had Night Pearls on them. However, this item was too eye-catching, it was better not to take it out.

What the innkeeper said was the truth. It was already the end of the month, but the stars in the sky were bright and the moonlight was dim. As soon as he walked out, he saw that it was pitch black all around him. There were very few people in Qingyang County before sunset, and now there was not even a single sound.

The surroundings were deathly still.

Shen Liang and Chong Yang had a look around the city before sunset. Yuwen He let them lead the way as they walked towards the river bank.

Xiao Ruyue rubbed his hands together and subconsciously rubbed them against Yuwen He's chest. Yuwen He put on her clothes, wrapped her arms around her and tightly hugged her in his arms.

His Majesty had asked for his clothes before he left, but he didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.

A gust of cold wind blew over. The air was moist, and there was a heavy smell of earth.

Chong Yang carried the lantern and walked over to the embankment, using his feet to step on it, his legs went soft and almost sunk down. Luckily he had the time, he quickly jumped back.

"Your Majesty, there is something strange about that dam. Although it had been broken by the flood, it was still not soft. There seems to be no hard stone down there. "

Shen Liang said, "When I came, it was already sunset. I only hastily looked at the gap. The light was too dim to notice the condition of the mud and sand." This was an explanation, and it could be considered as an explanation.

Yuwen He nodded, indicating that he understood.

He was rushing, and had to scout and observe the situation of the people, and was even able to find the river bank to come up, it could be seen that the bold and meticulous actions of the General Shen was not just for show, there were some small problems that were not within his capabilities, it could not be blamed on the General Shen.

"It's getting late, let's check it out tomorrow morning."

After blowing for a while, the cold feeling became heavier, and Yuwen He gave the order.

It is more convenient to explore the river banks in the daytime. It was too dark to see clearly even with the lantern.

The group of people then left.

In order to return the favor quickly, they had all used their Qing Gong. Their speed could not be compared to ordinary people.

When they returned to the tavern, the owner was still sweeping the floor downstairs, and had poured the chairs on the table one by one. He glanced at Yuwen He, Xiao Ruyue and the others who had entered the tavern, and said sinisterly: "I really don't know what you rich people think about all day."

"Boss, your words are quite interesting. You are not a rich person, and we don't know what you are thinking." Yuwen He indifferently swept his gaze.

The owner of the inn felt a chill on his back and saw the river mud at their feet. "You, you went to the river?" "How did you guys get there so late at night? How did you get back so fast?"

"Since boss is so curious about our whereabouts, we won't hide it from you." Yuwen He's face remained indifferent, and he gave Chong Yang a look.

The white-clothed youth understood tacitly, and went with Chong Yue to the left and right of the inn owner, picking him up and going to the second floor, "Boss, let's go upstairs to have a talk."

Wang Shangshu and the others heard the commotion and came out of their rooms. Yuwen He looked at Wang Shangshu and said, "You go and take a look too."

With that, she helped Xiao Ruyue into the house.

With the king's order, the Wang Shangshu didn't dare to delay and followed behind Chong Yang and the rest into the house.

Regarding the question that they should ask the inn owner, Chong Yang and Chong Yue had the most experience. Wang Shangshu was also a well-informed person, dealing with the inn owner was a local who might be aware of what was going on after experiencing a flood. As long as he revealed the slightest bit of the unusual situation on the riverbank that he had discovered tonight, he should be able to spit something out.

"Chi!" Just as he returned to his room, Xiao Ruyue was caught off guard and sneezed.

Without saying a word, Yuwen He pushed her onto the bed and covered her with the blanket. Xiao Ruyue almost suffocated to death and pulled the blanket off, then rolled her eyes at Yuwen He, "I'm still very robust!"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought you out."

Xiao Ruyue glared at him again.

Yuwen He squatted down and took off his muddy shoes, then changed out of his own shoes and sat beside Xiao Ruyue.

Her hand was a little cold, so he held her hand. Her awkwardness could not continue.

"You plan to end this quickly, and hand over the rest to the Wang Shangshu?"

"Mm, there isn't much time left. You can't wait at the border. "

Xiao Ruyue paused for a moment, then asked: "Chong Yang and the other two would not take this opportunity to take care of that boss, right?"

"No, the two of them are in the same business, even if they want to take care of it, they will have to wait for the matter to end." Yuwen He said with an expressionless face.

Xiao Ruyue, "…"

She really wasn't used to the king suddenly speaking in a serious and cold tone.

But what he said was true.

They all knew that the owner of the inn was just an ordinary civilian. He had a grudge against him for causing such a disaster.
