Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, this time, do those Taoists at Ruyun Peak still have the strength to fight back? ]

Daju: [Wang Cunyang's heart has been pierced by your mother's golden light, and the other Taoists are either dead or injured, and some have their cultivation completely destroyed.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [The Taoist priests of Ruyun Peak did such a thing that harmed the lives of the living beings. Can't the Heavenly Dao see it? ]

Daju: [This is their cleverness. This rain is not rain, but rain that comes from borrowing water from somewhere else.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [We are experiencing flood disasters here. If all the water from other places is moved here, won’t it cause drought?]

Daju: [That’s right.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where is the drought? ]

Daju: [Both Jiangdong and Jiangnan were affected. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Will Nangong Xu be furious? Alas, it is dry and hot at this time, and the people are the ones who suffer.]

Daju: [There will be a way. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I hope the disaster in Shengjing will end soon, so my father can focus on giving advice to the crown prince.]

Daju: [The rain in Shengjing will probably continue for another day. The spell won’t end so quickly in the air, but there won’t be any heavy rain.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [It continues to rain. I am worried about flash floods and mudslides.]

Daju: [Don't worry, I'm watching. There won't be any flash floods or mudslides.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [After the flood, there will be secondary disasters, and I have to ask my father to pay attention to them.]

The garrison in Shengjing City raised the river embankment in time, but the villages and towns downstream of Zijiang River would still suffer.

Fortunately, Tian Xingjian immediately sent Shi Fei down the Zijiang River to notify all places to take their valuables and move them to higher places, thus reducing the losses a lot.

After the golden light shot out from Lin Yunzhi's men, Lin Yunzhi stepped down from the altar, ended his duty as guardian, and immediately rushed up to Ruoyun Peak, where he captured all the Taoists there and brought them down the mountain.

Afterwards, Tian Xingjian and his group cleaned up Ruyun Peak.

Many books and correspondence with the outside world were discovered.

They were all taken back to the government office.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, are there any melons to eat at Ruyun Peak? How did they gather this force?]

Daju: [Wang Cunyang's selfish desire to help Nangong Ke dragged his fellow disciples into the water.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [He loves madly and deeply! But don’t the others know what is right and wrong and still support him blindly? ]

Daju: [When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. Besides, Nangong Ke has given Ruyun Peak a lot of benefits over the years. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Ke is rich, and the Taoists are capable. Is this mutually beneficial? ]

Daju: [Plus Wang Cunyang’s sadomasochistic love for Nangong Ke. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [A sect serves as a stepping stone for him, how impressive! ]

Along with the yamen runners came a group of women.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [There are so many girls in this Taoist temple? ]

Daju: [They are just using the name of Taoist priests, secretly they are just like ordinary people.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [My mother, is my mother a Taoist nun? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao finally remembered that Lin Yunzhi was also dressed as a Taoist priest and could perform rituals!

Daju: [The people she led should be from an ancient sect, practicing Taoism and dressed like Taoists, but they are not Taoists and are not bound by the Taoist rules and regulations.]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I see. My mother's skills seem to be very impressive!]

Daju: [In the human world, Taoism should be invincible. 】

Tian Xiaoxiao: [It feels so good to hug someone's thigh! When I have free time, I'll ask my mother to teach me some self-defense and escape tricks.]

Lin Yunzhi listened to Tian Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts and felt both happy and a little sad.

What makes me happy is that my daughter recognizes me, but what worries me is that my daughter has no ambition. If the Emperor's Order is handed to her, will she accept it?

The rain only subsided at noon on the fourth day.

The water level in Zijiang River did not continue to rise but gradually receded.

Thanks to the young and middle-aged people in the city and the garrison troops who held the city accountable day and night, the water in Fengyu Lake did not backflow.

Tian Xingjian sent someone to tell Lin Yunzhi that the city was safe, and the people who had been hiding in the mountains returned to their homes in the city one after another.

Looking at Shengjing City which had escaped the catastrophe, the people could not help but sigh how happy it was to have a governor who always thought about them.

In the future, they will also fight for Tian Xingjian and protect him.

After Lin Yunzhi returned home with his family, big and small, he put their things in order in case of emergency.

Tian Xingjian did not even return home. He mobilized 10,000 garrison troops, carried the gold, and went down along the Zijiang River to provide disaster relief.

Wherever they went, they counted the losses of crops, cattle and sheep, as well as casualties, registered them, had someone make a booklet, and distributed the subsidies door to door.

The gold that Tian Xingjian had looted from Song Yuanzhi, Ximen Wuhen and Lai Shi had long been melted down by him, and now it was all broken gold.

Besides, the gold he got was enough to support the entire Shengjing.

But money will always run out. It can be used to help disaster victims, but it will also be used to restore people's livelihood, which requires a large amount of money.

The prince's men, carrying rice and grain, met up with Tian Xingjian in a town called Ci'en.

The garrison troops had an additional task, which was to distribute supplies such as food and seeds.

After receiving the message from Tian Xingjian, the prince immediately contacted his own men to provide support to Shengjing nearby.

Tian Xingjian certainly has no shortage of money, but grain seeds, vegetables, and medicinal herbs are urgently needed at the moment.

Nangong Rui is worthy of being the crown prince. Along with the food, various medicines were also transported.

This is also the reason why Tian Xingjian's Emperor's Order was placed in the Prince's team early on.

Nangong Rui considers everything he does in great detail, including predicting what to do next.

He is kind, but not soft-hearted.

He is decisive, but never makes rash decisions.

He was brave and resourceful, and he maneuvered around in Xijing to firmly hold on to the position of crown prince.

Lin Yunzhi had long ago told Tian Xingjian that he had learned from Chigua that the rain was water moved from other places by Ruyun Peak, and that droughts would occur elsewhere.

Tian Xingjian had already passed the news to the prince. Presumably, the prince had sent people to Jiangdong and Jiangnan to stabilize the people's hearts and provide disaster relief to solve the practical problems there.

It took Tian Xingjian four days to travel the entire lower reaches of the Zijiang River.

He had hardly slept since it started raining in Shengjing City.

When he finished the last town, Tian Xingjian lay on the ground and took a long breath, thinking to himself: "Finally, this matter has been dealt with. I wonder if the prince's people have played a role in alleviating the drought."

The prince frequently received secret letters, which stressed the severity of the drought and requested that more manpower be sent.

Nangong Rui had no choice. It was unrealistic to mobilize people from Xijing to Jiangdong and Jiangnan to control the drought. He had to mobilize some forces and let those who had expressed their loyalty to him take on the main work of drought relief.
