Yang Shouwen, or the father and son of the Yang family, is actually just a catalyst.

Their joining and continuous strength gave Prince Li Xian enough confidence and his attitude became more and more positive.

Just imagine, if you, Li Xian, have been tolerant and remain silent.

What will those who follow you feel? They will think that you are cowardly, not worth following, or not worth investing too much resources in you. But if you are positive in attitude, even if your power is weak, it will make your followers see a glimmer of hope.

Fight, not fight?

This is a problem.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that non-competition is a struggle.

But in fact, how can you find hope if you don’t fight?

Cowardice and concession are two completely different concepts. Prince Li Xian’s performance before this was a bit cowardly, which disappointed many people. But now, the general trend is pushing him to fight! No matter whether this kind of struggle is active or passive, in the eyes of others, it is an attitude... You, Li Xian, are actually ambitious.

For Li Xian's followers, this is enough!

It is midsummer and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Luoyang has much less rain this year than in previous years.

So much so that after summer began, the whole city was short of water.

The government had to increase the work of digging canals and diversion. The drainage from Luoshui and Yishui finally alleviated some disasters. However, even so, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket. Because of this, large-scale armed fights occurred repeatedly in order to compete for water sources, and countless casualties... The government would mediate at the beginning, but as the disaster worsened, it was difficult for the government to stop it. In short, as long as there was no large-scale armed fight and it did not affect the daily life of Luoyang, they would turn a blind eye. The villagers were right. If you don’t let us fight, then you can find us water sources!

But where can the government find water?

The scorching sun is located outside Yanshi City, on both sides of Xiaoyi Bridge, with nearly a thousand people standing across the river.

There were about six or seven hundred people on the south bank of the river, holding wooden sticks, hoes and rakes, and a mess.

On the north bank of the river, it looks like there are about 200 people.

Some of them dressed up obviously different from the villagers opposite, and looked quite strange.

They were neatly dressed and looked polite, with hands in front of them and a rather humble smile on their faces.

In front of them were more than a hundred Wuhou.

Right ahead, a middle-aged man who looked like an official was shouting loudly, but the voice across from him was too loud, drowning his voice.

It was noon, and the villagers seemed more and more excited and their emotions began to get out of control.

Some villagers were carrying farm tools and preparing to cross the river. Seeing this, the official couldn't help but become nervous. When he waved his hand, he saw the Wu Hou shouting in unison, approaching a few steps, and pointing the sword and gun in his hand at the villagers.

The villagers immediately became quiet.

The official shouted: "Friends, don't be impulsive.

This saint gave the gentleman country a farm. When we go to the country, we should show our demeanor. Then we asked them to water the fields first and then use them in a few days. How about it?"

"Minister Lin, in a few days, our crops will be killed."

"Yes, why do you have to let these people water the fields first? We are also subjects of the emperor. Your Majesty should take care of us first."

"Yes, you can't give them the water."

"Prince Lin, you are from Yanshi. How can you turn your elbows out and help these barbarians talk?"

County Magistrate Lin's face turned red and there was a helpless look on his face.

He naturally wanted to help his fellow villagers, but the problem was that the people behind him were arranged by the court, and the county magistrate repeatedly wanted to show their demeanor and not neglect... It was the five words "not neglect" that made Lin County Wei feel a headache.

"Friends, this is the order of the top of the mountain. Whether you agree or disagree today, the water source must be handed over to them for use first. The county magistrate has an order. Anyone who dares to stop it will interfere with the official disposal and show it to the public for three days..."

When the villagers heard this, they were furious.

"Okay, then you can catch us and try it.

The people in my filial piety have never been greedy for life and fear of death.

Today, whoever dares to take away the water source will fight with 1,800 people from all over Xiaoyi... If you have the surname Lin, you will kill me if you have the abduction."

An old man with white hair walked out of the crowd, pointed at County Magistrate Lin and shouted loudly.

County Magistrate Lin's face looked very ugly because the white-haired old man was his uncle.

If it were someone else, he might not care. But his uncle... I remember that when his parents died, his uncle took him in and raised him. County Magistrate Lin was not the kind of ruthless person, so how could he have an attack on his uncle?

He turned around and came to Tongzhi.

"Yang Tong, this matter...

You see if this can happen? Isn’t there a small river in the farm?

Can the villagers use the water source here first? After all, the crops are about to die..."

"Minister Lin, this is related to the national system.

The envoy of the gentleman country is now very popular with the emperor, and this farm is also rewarded by the emperor. If the emperor knows that you, Yanshi, cannot even meet the requirements of the envoy of the gentleman country, you will definitely be very unhappy. This matter is important, please consider it yourself.

As for the water source in the village, it is to be used for the mounts of the envoys of the gentleman country to drink. How can we ensure the water source in the village?"

County Magistrate Lin also had a headache when he looked at the arrogant and domineering translation.

He sighed, looked at the villagers opposite him and said, "Big Father, this is related to the national system. If the father refuses, his nephew will have to offend him."

"Okay, then you kill me!"

The gray-haired old man was furious and walked across the river.

Behind him, hundreds of villagers followed him and rushed towards the other side...

"Big Father, don't force me."

The old man ignored it and just walked forward.

County Magistrate Lin was really anxious, and Canglang drew his sword and unsheathed it.

As soon as he took action, the Wuhou behind him moved forward again, and the villagers on the other side of the river also raised the agricultural machinery in their hands high, as if they were about to fight to the death.

At this moment, a roar of eagle came from the sky.

A sea-dongqing circled in the air, and the people in strange clothes immediately shouted.

Someone even took out the bow and arrow and shot it at the Haidongqing.

However, Hai Dongqing was extremely agile. With a scream of panic, he suddenly turned around in the air. A pair of claws as crystal clear as white jade grabbed the arrow. It then turned to the east and flew to the east... Those people in strange clothes shouted, and some even shouted loudly in front of Tongzhi, making Tongzhi nodded repeatedly.

"Catch that eagle!"

Tongzhi pointed at County Magistrate Lin and shouted loudly.

County Magistrate Lin was stunned and said, "It is in the sky, how can I catch it?"

"Idiot, if you catch it, you can talk to the men and ask for the water source back then."

When County Magistrate Lin heard this, his eyes lit up.

He quickly said to Wu Hou behind him: "Does anyone know where that eagle came from?"

A group of Wuhou looked at each other in all directions.

Just as County Magistrate Lin and others were puzzled, a sound of horse hooves came from the official road in the distance.

A fleet of chariots and horses appeared at the end of the road, from far to nearer and closer.

County Magistrate Lin suddenly showed ecstasy because he saw that the divine Hai Dongqing was on the shoulders of one of the knights.

Before he could even think about it, he rushed forward with the people and blocked the other party's way.

"Who are you? How dare you block the road in broad daylight?"

The young man holding the eagle asked in a deep voice.

He straddled a sweat-blooded horse with a divine horse. The horse was eight feet tall, ten feet long, and had a golden mane around his neck.

County Magistrate Lin said sternly: "I am the County Magistrate of Yanshi. Is this eagle yours?"

"That's right!"

"That's great... Now a messenger from the gentleman country has taken a fancy to you, the eagle, and is willing to buy it at a high price.

I tell you that the messenger of the gentleman country is valued by the Lord. It is your great luck that he has now fallen in love with your eagle."

"A country of gentlemen?"

The young man showed doubt and turned his head and asked, "Where is the country of gentlemen?"

A follower stepped forward and whispered: "Jun Yang, the country of Gentlemen is Japan... However, last year, the country of Gentlemen commended the court and changed its name to Japan. His Majesty also agreed to their memorial."

Japan?

A look of disgust flashed across the young man's face.

He was about to speak when he saw the group of people in strange clothes running over.

They pointed to Hai Dongqing on the shoulder of the young man, and said strange words, looking very excited.

Is the arrow that shot my big jade just now what you did?"

The young man lowered his face, looked at County Magistrate Lin, and said word by word.

His voice was not loud and his speaking speed was not too fast, but the feeling that he gave Lin County Magistrate Lin changed. A murderous intent came to his face, so that Lin County Magistrate almost had an hallucination. He couldn't help but scream and took several steps back. (To be continued.)
