Xiao Lishi was not satisfied with this and grumbled privately, "What's the point of just killing a few leaders? We should just let them go and let Zhang Long deal with them. Only then will we feel better."

Xiao Yanheng glanced at him coldly and then looked away.

Soon, several water barrels were brought in and lined up along the road.

When the leaders saw this, they immediately shouted, "Everyone, run! The emperor wants to kill us all and throw us in here!"

"We have more people, let's fight that dog emperor to the bitter end!"

"Fight!"

A few words fanned the flames and the people rose up in resistance.

Outside the city, Zhang Long's laughter became more and more rampant.

Seeing someone running towards the city wall, Xiao Lishi pulled Xiao Yanheng and wanted to escape.

However, Xiao Yanheng stood still.

When the leaders were about to rush forward, Xiao Yanheng snatched the sword from a guard beside him and cut off one of their heads with one blow.

The skull rolled to the ground at everyone's feet, followed by the fallen body, and blood splattered everywhere.

Witnessing such a tragic scene, the people dared not move. They were all terrified and stood there in a daze.

There was no movement outside. Zhang Long laughed and said, "Is Xiao Yanheng dead? Open the door quickly. I can spare your lives."

Xiao Yanheng looked towards the city gate with murderous intent in his eyes.

If he didn't need to borrow the power of the immortal to bring rain today, he really wanted to rush out and deal with Zhang Long personally.

As soon as the water storage tanks were set up, heavy rain poured down.

The eunuch hurriedly held up an umbrella and advised, "Your Majesty, the rain is really too heavy. Let's take shelter first."

Xiao Yanheng pushed him away and stretched out his hand to welcome the rain.

"This is a gift from her, and I should accept it with joy."

accept?

Xiao Lishi suddenly felt that his brother might be confused.

It has come to this point, so why talk about acceptance? You should go back and take shelter from the rain first.

The people below were also at a loss.

“Is it raining?”

"Mom, it's raining. Can the crops in our fields be saved?"

“It’s really raining! It’s really raining!”

The freshness after the rain moistened people's hearts like a sweet rain, and the people's joy boiled over instantly.

Xiao Lishi sneered disdainfully, "Look how happy they are! They weren't like this earlier. My Royal Highness, I think we should expel all these fickle people from the city!"

Xiao Yanheng's eyes swept across them coldly, and he said in a deep voice, "Although they are citizens of the Great Wei, they also live in the same world as us. Faced with internal and external troubles, they are always hungry and full, and fear is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lishi sighed helplessly, thinking that his royal brother was always so kind and benevolent.

Xiao Yanheng descended from the tower, his eyes gently sweeping across the cheering crowd. "From now on, water will be released here at a fixed time every day, and each household will be limited to taking one bucket. After that, I will continue to pray for God's blessing."

A brave child looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the rain sent by the gods?"

"That's right." Xiao Yanheng nodded affirmatively.

The child immediately smiled brightly: "That fairy must be very kind. She is a good friend of the emperor, right?"

Xiao Yanheng pondered for a moment and thought to himself.

Friends? Su Yuan is willing to confide in me, to share the moonlight, to drink and chat, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

His eyes softened and he nodded vigorously: "That's right."

This scene left Xiao Lishi inexplicably shocked, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. He looked at the eunuch chief beside him in fear and asked, "Court brother... could it be that some demon has taken over his mind?"

Just at this moment, Zhang Long's angry shouting was heard outside, trying to convince the people that he was the one who had the protection of the true God, and Xiao Yanheng was just a liar.

Unfortunately, people who have experienced the rainfall no longer trust Zhang Long, because his "magic" obviously will not bring rain.

As for those people who claimed that they could call for rain, they were quietly dealt with by Long Fei.

……

After confirming that it had rained on the other side, Su Yuan returned to the house with satisfaction. She quickly contacted Shi Siyan to prepare a special gift box, and notified other suppliers one after another, urging them to deliver various snacks and cakes as soon as possible.

The mobile app suddenly popped up a prompt: "It is detected that you have food needs, do you want to enjoy it immediately?"

Food? Su Yuan then remembered that the gift Xiao Yanheng had sent was still unopened, and hurried to the basement.

When she opened the top wooden box, she was greeted by a glittering golden light that stunned her momentarily.

With trembling hands, he picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but take a bite - pure gold!

And they were all real gold ingots! A whole box full of them, and Xiao Yanheng just gave them to her like that?

She felt ashamed. She had only provided some snacks and was making ten times the profit from them, but he was not stingy and gave her a large sum of money.

If I don't give something back, I will feel uneasy.

But what is the appropriate gift in return?

Yang Sheng was not around, and there was no one to discuss things with.

While she was hesitating, she scanned it with the system and was shocked to find that there were more than a thousand taels of gold!

Isn’t this unexpected wealth?

She carefully took out two pieces, put the rest back in their places, and continued unpacking.

The box contains a rich collection of items, including Wei Dynasty porcelain, ancient paintings, and Xiao Yanheng's own calligraphy. His strokes are smooth and his skills are profound, and you can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.

Until she opened an inconspicuous little box, which contained desserts and snacks specially prepared for her. The taste was excellent and the milky flavor was rich, far superior to contemporary Chinese pastries. What was even more touching was that Xiao Yanheng also carefully attached the recipe.

Once this secret recipe is released...

Su Yuan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She walked up the stairs to the living room holding a small box and saw Yang Sheng sitting there.

Yang Sheng was about to speak when his attention was suddenly drawn to the box in her hand.

"A brocade box with eight treasures pattern?" he asked doubtfully.

Su Yuan shook the box lightly and asked nonchalantly, "This one? It's quite unique, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Yang Sheng gritted his teeth and warned cautiously: "What you have in your hand is not an ordinary item. This kind of treasure only exists in ancient books and picture albums, and it is rare to see it on the market."

When Su Yuan heard this, she immediately and carefully placed the box on the table.

Yang Sheng recalled her actions just now and asked, "Where did this brocade box come from?"

"A friend gave it to me. He said it was a new snack made by his chef and he wanted me to try it," she replied.

To prove her innocence, Su Yuan immediately opened the lid of the box, and sure enough, there were a few exquisite snacks inside.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng held his forehead helplessly.

Who could be so generous as to use such a precious box to pack snacks?

Seeing Yang Sheng's distressed expression, Su Yuan quickly changed the subject: "You came to see me, is there something else?"

After she mentioned it, Yang Sheng remembered the important matter.

"He Jingchen asked me to bring you an invitation. Is the gift box on the truck outside the door also for you?"

Su Yuan was delighted and quickly contacted the property management to get approval.

Shi Siyan delivered the goods personally and also prepared a few small gifts for Su Yuan.

Faced with these exquisite gifts, Su Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

"Boss Shi is so polite. I haven't even prepared a gift in return," she said.

Shi Siyan responded with a smile: "This is just a small token of our appreciation. Miss Su's big order this time has really helped us a lot. We are very grateful."
