The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

At this moment, the old butler leaned close to City Lord Xu's ear and whispered a few words. City Lord Xu then narrowed his small eyes under his thin eyelids and slowly stood up.

Then, he warmly greeted the brothers Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian who were walking towards him.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry for neglecting you two! Our Qicheng City can't compare to the prosperity of Kyoto. If there is any inadequacy in our hospitality, I hope you will forgive me!"

After hearing this, Zuo Yun asked directly, "City Lord Xu, regarding the matter of opening the granaries and releasing grain, what are your thoughts on this?"

City Lord Xu quickly replied, "Of course we have to release the grain! Now is a critical moment concerning the life and death of Qi City. How can we not release the grain? I will send someone to arrange this matter immediately!"

After saying this, the smile on his face became more flattering, and he nodded and bowed repeatedly to show his agreement.

However, Zuo Yun interrupted him without any hesitation and spoke in a firm tone.

"There's no need to arrange for additional personnel. I've already brought the relevant personnel with me. As soon as you, the City Lord, give the order to 'open the warehouse,' my people will immediately begin moving the grain."

The reason why he was so decisive and strong was because he knew very well that City Lord Xu might deliberately delay time and then take the opportunity to make other arrangements that would be disadvantageous to him.

At this moment, seeing the two brothers in front of him so resolute and courageous, and not backing down at all, City Lord Xu couldn't help but feel afraid and didn't dare to say another word.

He silently took the warrant handed to him by the butler and handed it to Zuo Yun respectfully.

"Thank you so much for your generous help, City Lord Xu..."

Zuo Yun took the warrant neither humbly nor arrogantly, just casually bowed to the other party, then turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

Zuo Nian stood quietly beside Zuo Yun like an indestructible fortress, giving him unparalleled peace of mind and confidence, while also making him exude an awe-inspiring sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Yun led a group of his men and easily emptied the food in City Lord Xu's private warehouse, leaving not even a grain of rice.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Night falls quietly. The stars are inlaid in the vast night sky like bright gems, making the entire night sky look more quiet and beautiful.

After a good night's sleep, the refugees seemed to have experienced a baptism. Their faces were filled with an indescribable ease and joy, just like the colorful rainbow that appears in the sky after the rain.

This change is amazing, as if they have lost part of their memory, but at the same time have also gotten rid of their past suffering and pain.

After some observation and thinking, Zuo Yun Zuo Nian discovered that the strange fragrance was floating down from the sky above Qicheng.

These scents fill the air, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.

It turns out that this is the legendary forgetfulness incense! It has a magical power that can make people forget the pain and unhappiness of the past and regain inner peace.

The fertile fields outside the city were originally barren, but with Xu Fu's unremitting efforts to water them, they gradually regained vitality.

The water continuously nourishes the land, making the soil fertile and greenery gradually spreads.

Seeing all this, Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian were filled with hope. They decided to organize manpower, start tilling the fields, and sow the seeds of hope.

As time went on, more and more refugees joined the labor force.

Everyone worked together and made joint efforts, not only to cultivate fertile farmland, but also to plant a variety of crops.

Everyone is full of energy and looks forward to the harvest season.

As the days go by, this once quiet city gradually regains new vitality.

The streets were crowded and bustling.

Merchants set up stalls and sold all kinds of goods; children played in the streets, laughter echoing one after another; the elderly sat under the eaves, basking in the sun and chatting, enjoying this rare peace.

The fertile fields outside the city are even more prosperous. The buried seeds have sprouted and grown, and the tender green seedlings are swaying gently in the breeze.

People looked at the vibrant fields with joy and anticipation in their hearts, knowing that as long as they worked hard, they would surely reap a bountiful harvest.

During this period, Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian were extremely busy. They arranged proper housing for the refugees, ensuring that everyone had a warm place to stay, while also doing their utmost to collect the necessary food to ensure everyone's living needs.

At the same time, they also need to organize manpower to reclaim more wasteland, expand the area of ​​farmland, and lay a solid foundation for future development.

In this process, Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian demonstrated outstanding leadership and firm beliefs.

They led the refugees out of their plight and into a new life. And because of their dedication and hard work, the city gradually embarked on the road to revival...
