Chapter 675 There is a drought in Fangjun(1/2)

Lei Shigui and his group ran exhausted and their speed gradually slowed down.

"Boss, I can't run anymore." A subordinate sat on the ground.

Lei Shigui scolded: "Get up and keep running!"

At this moment, the voices of the secret guards came from a distance: "Leishgui, you can't escape!"

Lei Shigui's face turned pale and his eyes were filled with despair.

Xi Yu looked cold and shouted angrily: "Come here, catch them!"

The secret guard beside him immediately flashed out like a ghost, and his movements were swift, and he controlled Lei Shigui and others firmly in a few strokes.

Xi Yu glanced at the controlled people in a cold look, gritted his teeth and said, "Take them away and punish them severely!"

The secret guards took the order and took Lei Shigui and others away quickly.

Xi Yu looked at the burning fire, frowned, turned to the secret guard and said, "Go and notify the local villagers and come to put out the fire quickly!"

After the arrangement was made, Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu, looked a little slower, and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Tuoba Yu nodded, and the two walked down the mountain together.

On the way down the mountain, Tuoba Yu frowned and said worriedly: "Although they were captured this time, I don't know if such troubles will happen."

Xi Yu looked firm, looked up slightly in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "With me here, I will definitely not let such evil things happen again."

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu's resolute side face, a hint of admiration surged in his heart, the corner of his mouth raised, and he said, "With your words, I will feel much more at ease."

Xi Yu turned his head to look at Tuoba Yu, a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

The two of them speeded up and their figures gradually drifted away on the mountain road.

Someone started to put out the fire at the foot of the mountain. Xi Yu stood in the crowd and said loudly: "Dear villagers, I am Prime Minister Xi Yu! Those who participated in the fire extinguishing this time will be rewarded!" As he said that, he raised the token in his hand high.

When the people heard this, they looked at Xi Yu, their eyes full of surprise and awe.

An old man walked up and asked in disbelief: "Be serious?"

Xi Yu looked serious and nodded solemnly: "Of course, take it seriously! I use the token as evidence!"

When everyone saw the token, their confidence suddenly increased and their work became more and more hardworking.

A young and strong man wiped the sweat from his face and shouted: "Everyone should work harder, don't let the Prime Minister down!"

Others also responded, the atmosphere at the scene was warm, the people were greatly encouraged, and the fire extinguishing work progressed more quickly.

Soon, the fire was put out. The people surrounded Xi Yu. Xi Yu smiled and said, "Thank you all, come, everyone, please register your name and go back to receive the reward." The people all smiled happily and went to register in an orderly manner.

After a while, the people left happily. At this time, the secret guards hurried over, knelt on one knee and said, "Prime Minister, Lei Shigui and others have been punished and have become disabled."

Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "When doing well, this is the end of their evil deeds."

Then, Xi Yu handed over the counted list of people to one of the secret guards and said seriously: "So quickly hand over this list to the local county government and ask them to pay the rewards quickly, and there must be no mistakes!"

The secret guard took the list with both hands and replied respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister!" After saying that, he immediately turned around and went to do this.

Under Xi Yu's arrangement, many people happily received the rewards.

Their faces were filled with irrepressible excitement and gratitude, and they all thanked Xi Yu for his gratitude.

An old man was so excited that he burst into tears. He held Xi Yu's hand and said, "Sir, you are really our great benefactor!"

Xi Yu responded with a smile: "This is what you deserve, and you will live a good life in the future."

At this time, it was already very late.

Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu and said, "It's getting late, let's leave here first."

Tuoba Yu nodded, and the two turned around and prepared to leave.

Xi Yu ordered the secret guards beside him: "You go to the top of the mountain to find treasures, be careful and do not let go of any clues."

The secret guards responded in unison: "Yes, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu looked at the shadow guards rushing to the top of the mountain, his eyes full of expectations, and then left with Tuoba Yu.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu stayed in an inn.

Late at night, a secret guard gently knocked on Xi Yu's door.

Xi Yu opened the door and saw the secret guard looking happy. Before he could speak, the secret guard said excitedly: "Prime Minister, the treasure has been found! A total of two large boxes have been sorted out."

Xi Yu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said excitedly: "That's great!"

The secret guard stood respectfully, waiting for instructions. Xi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Pick some people back to Youzhou and do things carefully."

The secret guard clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Prime Minister! I will make arrangements now."

Xi Yu patted the secret guard on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go and do it quickly."

The secret guard turned around and left, and Xi Yu closed the door, and the smile on his face was still hard to hide.

At this moment, in Fangjun.

Liu Bei couldn't sleep anymore, and it turned out that a drought occurred somewhere.

Many people have been displaced and have become refugees.

Liu Bei lay on the couch, his eyes wide open, full of worry, and thought to himself: "This drought is so severe, and the people are suffering, how can I sleep peacefully?"

At this time, a little eunuch hurried in and bowed and said, "Lord, this disaster is urgent, so you have to make plans early."

Liu Bei sat up, frowned, and said, "How could I not know, but this disaster relief strategy needs to be carefully considered."

The little eunuch lowered his head and replied carefully: "The lord is concerned about the people and will definitely come up with good solutions."

Liu Bei sighed: "I hope this is the case. If I cannot save the people from water and fire, how can I face the people of the world?"

After the little eunuch left, Liu Bei covered his face with both hands and started crying alone.

His shoulders were trembling slightly, tears slid from his fingers, and his heart was filled with sorrow: "The poor people, I cannot help them immediately, suffer such natural disasters."

After a while, Liu Bei slowly raised his head, and although tears were still in his eyes, his expression became firm.

He thought to himself: "This matter is of great importance and should be reported to the Prime Minister, and perhaps he can ask for support."

So Liu Bei walked to the table, spread out the paper, picked up the pen and dipped it ink, and began to write letters with a focused look on his face.

While writing, he was considering the words in his heart, fearing that he would not be able to express the urgency of not being able to understand the disaster.

After the letter was written, Liu Bei called his confidant and solemnly handed it to him, reminding him: "Be sure to rush it quickly and send this letter to Youzhou, and there must be no mistakes!"

The confidant took the letter and immediately turned around to set off. Liu Bei looked at his far away back and prayed silently in his heart: "I hope the Prime Minister can help and save the people in this area."

After the letter was sent, Liu Bei was still restless and paced around the house, looking out the window from time to time, looking forward to the good news as soon as possible.

A few days passed, Liu Bei was not worried about food and food, and he looked much haggard.

He often murmured to himself: "I don't know if the letter has been delivered, what decision will the Prime Minister make."

Finally, one day, a rushing footsteps came from outside the door, and Liu Bei felt nervous and quickly met him.

Liu Bei opened the door with anticipation, but found that the person who came back was not the messenger who brought the prime minister's reply, but a subordinate came to report other matters.

The light in Liu Bei's eyes dimmed instantly, and he waved his hand in disappointment, signaling his subordinates to retreat first.

He returned to the house, feeling heavier and thought to himself: "Has the Prime Minister not received my letter yet? Or is there something else to do with this matter?"

A few more days later, Liu Bei spent sleepless nights in anxiety.

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu continued to rush their way, and they were getting closer and closer to Langzhong.

On this day, as soon as I entered the inn, a secret guard quickly came to Xi Yu's side.

The secret guard knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the treasure has been safely sent back to Youzhou."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, looked slightly slower, and said, "Good done."

However, before Xi Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, the secret guard continued: "However, the envoy of Fang County brought bad news, and there was a drought on the other side of Fang County."

When Xi Yu heard this, his brows frowned instantly, his face was full of worries, and he asked anxiously: "How about the drought? Can the people be safe?"

The secret guard lowered his head and replied, "The specific situation is that the messenger is waiting outside, and the Prime Minister will know it as soon as he asks."

Xi Yu didn't care about resting and hurriedly said, "Hurry, bring the messenger to see me."

Soon, the messenger came to Xi Yu.

The messenger finished his salute respectfully, with beans hanging on his forehead, and his expression was anxious and exhausted.

Xi Yu looked serious and stared at the messenger, and said anxiously: "Don't be too polite, hurry up and tell me the situation in Fangjun."

The envoy took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, the drought in Fang County is extremely serious, the land is dry and cracked, and the crops are not harvested. The people have no water to drink. Many people have fallen ill and are filled with displaced victims everywhere."

As Xi Yu heard this, his brows became tighter and tighter, his eyes were filled with worry and anger, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists and said, "It's so serious!"

Then, Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You go back first and tell the people of Fang County that the minister will deal with it as soon as possible and will not let them suffer."

The messenger nodded repeatedly, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, then go back now."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Next, Xi Yu told the secret guards with a serious expression: "You should return to Youzhou quickly and transport the treasure to Fangjun to relieve the urgent drought."
