Water is known as the source of life, which shows its importance.

There were thousands of people living in such a huge mountain city. The water was cut off and everyone was panicked.

Cao Bufan asked Zheng Xicang in a low voice: "City Lord, this matter is very strange. Do you think it is a monster made by the zombie at the foot of the mountain?"

Zheng Xicang looked solemn, and he asked, "Bufan, what do you mean is that those guys in the Demon Realm are doing the demons to make our spring water cut off?"

Cao Bufan said: "The city lord, there are only springs in our mountains around us. Some people have speculated before that this water is not the source of water accumulated on the mountain, but it is probably the spring that comes from the underground. I am worried that it would be the slaughter at the foot of the mountain that has dug our spring."

"Oh? Bufan, what he said makes sense." Zheng Xicang was very panicked when he heard this.

"If this is the case, we will be in big trouble." Zheng Xicang said.

"What should I do now in your opinion, in your opinion?" Cao Bufan asked.

Zheng Xicang asked in a low voice: "Bufan, now see how many water sources can be used, and control them all."

The eunuch next to him said, "City Lord, there is almost no water in the city now. Everyone thinks that the water can be obtained by reaching out. It is fresh. Who still wants to store water? Even if some people have some water, it probably won't be too much."

"A drop of water must be collected! Now is an extraordinary period, so extraordinary measures must be taken!" Zheng Xicang said seriously. He said to Cao Bufan: "Bufan, send orders, everyone, and others, hand over all the water sources in their hands. Once they find that the private water sources are not handed over, they will be executed!"

When Cao Bufan heard this, he felt a little strange and said, "City Lord, is it necessary to do this? I don't think the results will be too great."

"If it is necessary, you must collect some of it, and you must collect it too! Don't hesitate about this matter anymore. You cannot agree on it. Just follow my order! And, hurry!" Zheng Xicang said solemnly.

Seeing that Zheng Xicang was a little angry, Cao Bufan hurriedly said, "Yes, the city lord, I will send an order and collect water as much as possible."

Zheng Xicang called Cao Bufan again and said, "Bufan, if you arrange this matter, you will leave the specific matter to Eunuch Li, and I have more important things to you."

"As for orders, the city lord, what more important things are there?" Cao Bufan asked.

Zheng Xicang lowered his voice and said, "Bufan, do you remember what I told you before? About reducing personnel."

"Oh? Remember, the city lord." Cao Bufan responded.

"Now, now you have a chance and a reputation." Zheng Xicang said, "The water cuts in the mountains, and it may be as you said, the zombie at the foot of the mountain is caused by the zombie. It just so happens that you sent a thousand soldiers to sneak down to the mountain to attack the zombie, and by the way, see if they destroyed our water source."

"Ah?" Cao Bufan's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. "City Lord, let our soldiers deal with Zang Kui. Aren't they hitting the stone with eggs? They are going to die."

"This is the time for them to sacrifice their lives for everyone!" Zheng Xicang lowered his voice and said, "Bufan, wouldn't this reduce the consumption of some materials?"

Cao Bufan understood Zheng Xicang's true meaning.

This move is the legendary abandoned car to protect the handsome guy!

"Baofan, when you act, let the former soldier go down the mountain. What about you, don't go down, just watch it, don't care about their situation." Zheng Xicang said.

"Yes, I understand!" Cao Bufan said, and then took the order.

As soon as Cao Bufan left, Zheng Xicang fell into deep thought.

Originally, Zheng Xicang was still very confident in the siege of the Demon Realm, and could still defend it for a year or two. Even though he didn't know what would happen in the future, Zheng Xicang felt that he could still stay here for a long time.

Who knew that when the water source was cut off, it immediately disrupted his overall plan.

"City Lord——" The eunuch waiting next to him reminded Zheng Xicang.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Xicang was disturbed and felt a little unhappy.

"City lord, that young man is ready, is it still arranged at that time?" said the eunuch.

It turned out that Zheng Xicang decided to borrow that girl from the room to practice that night.

Zheng Xicang has his own ideas.

Originally, he was confident and calm, and wanted to use the girl's energy to make a breakthrough in his practice on this night.

However, his mood was already in chaos, and the news of the water cut was lingering in his heart and it was hard to let go. Under such circumstances, Zheng Xicang understood that if he forced himself to practice, he would probably be devilish. So, he said unwillingly: "Forget it, I'm afraid it won't work today. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will stabilize my emotions and complete my great cause for a thousand years!"

...

Cangcheng is already in a mess.

People were in panic. Many people had already learned that the water source was cut off. For dinner that day, I just ate some dry food, but there was no porridge I had cooked before, and of course, there was no water.

The thing Zheng Xicang was most worried about happened: some soldiers in Cangcheng began to feel uneasy.

Zheng Xicang knew that a strong castle was often captured from the inside. So, in order to prevent civil strife, he strengthened his vigilance and sent someone to take it away and lock it up if he had some bad tendencies.

"Don't worry, this is just a temporary situation and will get better soon." Zheng Xicang personally came to the military camp to appease the soldiers.

Zheng Xicang was already a powerful cultivator. He knew in his heart that even if these thousand soldiers rebelled together, they could be pacified with his Zheng Xicang's cultivation. However, Zheng Xicang still needed these soldiers, so he tried his best to suppress his restlessness and carefully appease these soldiers.

"City Lord, if this continues, I think we can't last for two days. We are so thirsty." said a sergeant.

Zheng Xicang glanced at the other party and thought to himself, if this is the case, would you still want to say such things? I would let you splatter blood on the spot!

However, Zheng Xicang is an old man after all. He suppressed his anger and said to everyone with a smile: "Don't be anxious. If such a thing happens, Zheng Xicang is more anxious than everyone. So, I have sent more than a thousand soldiers and, under the leadership of General Manager Cao, went to the foot of the mountain to check the situation. I think it will get better soon."

While Zheng Xicang was talking, Cao Bufan rushed back.

When Zheng Xicang saw that Cao Bufan looked very embarrassed, as if he had suffered a defeat.

"City Lord, it's not good! It's not good!" When Cao Bufan saw Zheng Xicang, he complained with a bitter face.

"What's going on? Tell me slowly." Zheng Xicang said.
