Xue Ruyun comforted her for a while, and only then did Leng Yue's heart calm down. He was starting to regret his actions. He shouldn't have gone after Xue Shaoli so impulsively, instead he should have alerted the enemy.

She knew what she was doing, but because she always hated Xue Shaoli, and hearing that she had done so many bad things, she couldn't help herself.

However, this was also good. This time, she was the one alerting the enemy and gave her a warning. It was likely that she would temporarily restrain herself. Otherwise, who knew what kind of evil scheme he would have to use to win against Xue Ruoyun and Mu Chen. The two of them had been heavily injured and were recovering.

"There will be a day when I will find out everything she has done." The cool moon opened the folding fan for a while.

"That's good." Seeing that she had calmed down, Xue Ruyun felt relieved.

"That's right, big sister, how are you recovering now? I can see that your complexion is much better than before."

"It's fortunate that the two genius doctors prescribed the medicine and also allowed me to circulate my energy daily to slowly recuperate. Right now, my cultivation is gradually recovering." Xue Ruyun stretched his body.

"That's good. You take good care of yourself first. I'll have to report everything that's been investigated during this period of time to the Emperor as soon as possible." As she spoke, Leng Yue walked into the room.

"Alright." "En!" Xue Ruyun replied, then he sat down and continued to circulate his Qi.

After meditating for a while, Xue Ruoyun felt that someone was looking at her. She opened her eyes and found that Mu Ying was sitting at a stone table, gently looking at her.

"When did you come?" When Xue Ruyun saw him, he stood up.

"I've been here for a while, and I saw you operating your martial arts, so I didn't disturb you." Mu Sheng poured a cup of tea for Xue Ruyun.

"What's the matter?" Xue Ruyun sat down, took the cup of tea, and took a sip.

"I have written to ask the Emperor to choose the day for me regarding our intended marriage. The content has already been prepared. Take a look. " Mu Ying took out the letter from his chest pocket.

Xue Luoyun looked at the vigorous and free writing on the envelope, but didn't open it. "I'll leave everything in your hands to you."

Upon hearing her say this, Mu Ying was a bit moved. She actually wanted to probe a bit and see if Xue Ruyun was willing or not. She was afraid that she wasn't mentally prepared yet. After hearing Xue Ruyun say this, he was relieved.

"Alright, Wei Ming, send the letter out." Mu Sheng handed the letter over to Wei Ming.

"The weather is good today, and we've been in this cave for a long time. Let's go out and see what it looks like outside." Xue Luoyun said.

"Sure." The two of them walked out as they spoke, not bringing any maidservants with them.

Xue Ruyun arrived at the city and discovered that the city had changed greatly. There were many young people on the streets, and they were all living corpses that came back to reunite with their families after consuming medicine. The young people were at work, and the old people and children were happy.

The streets were bustling with activity, and the sounds of shouting and selling could be heard incessantly. This was the appearance that a county city should have. Seeing the bustling scene on the street, Xue Luoyun felt very gratified.

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere." Mu Ying said in a mysterious tone.

"Where to?" Xue Ruyun let him hold her.

"You'll know in a while."

"We're here." After the two of them walked for a while, Mu Ying reminded her.

"Isn't this the source of the Clear Water River? What's wrong?" Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Sheng.

"Come and take a look." Mu Ying said excitedly.

"What?" Xue Ruyun hesitantly walked forward. From the source, a large amount of clear spring water flowed out.

"Ah, this, this …" Xue Ruyun simply couldn't believe his eyes. He only saw the former Qing Shui River return to its rippling jade-green appearance. The water inside the source caused the river to return to its former state.

This was simply too miraculous. He did not expect that the river, which had dried up for almost five years, would have a day where it could regain its vitality.

"Great." Now, the Clear Water River had returned to its former appearance, allowing it to irrigate the fields on both sides of the river. The youngsters also returned home. They believed that before long, Qing Shui County would be able to restore the appearance of the young Jiangnan from before.

When Xue Ruyun thought about how the suffering commoners had finally welcomed a peaceful and happy life, he felt incomparably happy in his heart.

"How did you become like this so quickly?" Xue Ruyun turned around and excitedly asked Mu Sheng.

"I knew you would be happy to see it. Therefore, while you were unconscious, I had someone fill up all the gaps in the underground lake. The water from the source was no longer flowing towards the underground city. Instead, it was gushing towards a higher place. In addition, it just so happened to be the rainy season. It had been raining for a few days not too long ago, so the groundwater was replenished and the dry riverbed was also soaked by the rain. Very quickly, this form was formed. " Mu Ying said excitedly.

Seeing Mu Ying's expression, Xue Ruyun's heart was moved. "On that day, you didn't know when I would wake up, so why are you in such a hurry? It was actually because you had the people of Dawn in your heart."

"Our goals are the same. We both want to see the people live a better life." Mu Ying walked over and put his arm around Xue Ruyun's shoulder.

Xue Ruyun looked at Mu Ying's face. In this lifetime, it was enough for him to meet someone who shared the same interests as him and also deeply loved him. The two of them stood like this for a very long time.

"Oh right, there's still another place I need to bring you to." Mu Ying seemed to have thought of something.

"Where?" Xue Ruyun raised his head to look at him.

"Follow me." Mu Yong said as he mounted his horse and extended his hand to Xue Ruyun.

He gave a hand to him, and Mu Ying pulled him onto his horse. The two of them sat in front of him on a white horse, and walked off into the distance.

As they got closer, they saw that the villagers in front of them were all gathered together. This was precisely the place where Mu Sheng had brought everyone to channel water.

"The prince and Miss Xue have arrived." The villagers all cried out in alarm, and they were all overjoyed as they kneeled down one after another.

"Come." Mu Rong Zhan was the first to dismount, helping Xue Ruoyun down.

"Everyone, quickly get up. There is no need to perform such a great courtesy. Just like in the past, just treat us as ordinary people." Xue Luoyun said.

"Miss Xue, Your Highness, you two are great benefactors that Qing Shui said we had in our county. It was thanks to you that we were able to destroy this underground city and rescue our family members. You must accept this gift. " The leader, a white-haired old man, said.

"That's right. In order to save everyone, you two almost lost your lives. We really have a guilty conscience." Another middle-aged man said.

"He even opened up a channel for us. He sincerely and sincerely solved the problems of our people. He really is the parents of our people." In the eyes of the people, the two of them were the true parents of the commoners.

"Please accept a bow from all of us." After the citizens said this, they all paid their respects to Mu Ying and the others.

"Everyone, this is too serious. We should be doing all of this. Everyone, quickly get up." Xue Ruyun hurriedly supported the old man at the front.

"Today is our newly constructed ceremony to draw water from the water channel. I specially invited you two here." The old man led the way.

They saw that the channel that Mu Sheng and his men had dug had already been completed.

"Bring it up." The old man gave the order, and a few young men brought up the stone monument. This was the name of the canal.

"Oh right, I haven't asked him what his name is yet." Xue Luoyun asked as he saw the red cloth covering the monolith.

"Your Highness, Miss Xue." The old man cupped his hands and said, "Because you have come, it has made our people happy, and it has also made us have two rivers that we can irrigate. In order to let the later generations remember the contributions you two have made, I have boldly named this new channel Yun He, Ying Yun, with one word each from the names of their benefactors. "

"I'm afraid that's inappropriate..." When Mu Ying heard this, he glanced at Xue Ruyun. "Only people who have done a great service can engrave their names on the monolith, let alone name them." What virtue or ability do the two of us have to get such praise from our families? " Mu Sheng refused.

Actually, Mu Ying was just being polite. He had his own reasons for not wanting to be named this way.

Because Mu Ying had always protected the peace of the people, he had a lot of achievements in the war. He was a famous general, and many people admired and respected him. However, this caused many of the ministers in the imperial court to worry that Mu was going to win and he might become a rebel in the future.

It was also for this reason that Mu Rong Zhan finally handed over the military power to the empress dowager. Firstly, it was in exchange for the empress dowager's wedding, and secondly, to ensure the peace and quiet of the west so that everyone wouldn't panic. Right now, he was already an idle prince. There were even some people who named him by his name. This way, those who wanted to listen would have to write another big piece of work.

Mu Sheng wasn't afraid of other people slandering him, but he was afraid of arousing the Emperor's suspicion and affecting the relationship between the two brothers.

Moreover, Mu Ying had always kept a low profile. Although everyone had good intentions, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

When Xue Ruyun saw Mu Rong Ying's frown, he immediately understood his worries. However, after seeing everyone's earnest and kind expressions, it wasn't good for him to directly refuse.

"Your highness, all of you have put your hearts into this, opening a canal to draw water is even more beneficial to your descendants, this is what it means to have this happen." The old man didn't understand Mu Sheng's concerns, thinking that he was just being modest.

"Elder, we understand your intentions, but His Highness has always been low-key, so there is no need to do this. How about this, we ask the prince to give this canal another name, which is also a way to commemorate it, is that okay? " Xue Luoyun suggested that they should help Mu Rong Hao out of this predicament.

"Since the two of you are so modest and indifferent to fame and fortune, this is good as well." After the old man heard Xue Ruyun's suggestion, he felt that this was not bad, so he agreed.

Hearing Xue Ruyun's words, Mu Ying gave her a grateful look. He was grateful for her understanding and admired her cleverness.

"Then please grant me your name." The old man ordered someone to present a brush and ink.

Mu Rong Zhan picked up the brush and pondered for a moment. Then, he waved it and wrote the word 'An Kang' on the stone monument.

Xue Luoyun stepped forward, and upon seeing the two words' An Kang ', he loudly said, "I hope that the people will be healthy and peaceful." He truly did care about the commoners.

When the old man and his fellow villagers heard this name, they also began to exclaim in admiration. He took the inkstone and stood it by the side of the canal.

Later on, he recorded down their deeds behind the monolith, passing down from generation to generation.
