Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it

Huangzhou.

The land is cracked. Originally, this should be the time when lush greenery and new buds sprouted, but now there is not a drop of rain.

This drought came unexpectedly.

According to usual practice, even if there is no rain, it is close to summer, and the snow on the mountains has melted, making the air more moist.

But this year's drought arrived in the spring with no rain and the temperature stagnant. The ground started to dry up and gradually spread underground.

Although it is not so hot that it can burn people to death, it is hot enough to make the common people and farmers lose all their harvest.

Many people rely on the food they grow at home to pay taxes, store surplus food, and sell it for money to buy things...

If you don’t plant in the spring this year, you will be waiting to die in the autumn.

The riots shouldn't have happened. This problem wasn't particularly serious in the early stages, but some people wanted to take advantage of it to cause trouble.

Fortunately, all the people who should be arranged around Prince Rui have been arranged, so they can know about any movement.

Since Sheng Yanzhao couldn't take the initiative to pull down his stupid brother, he would just wait for him to jump out and seek his own death.

The drought in Huangzhou had been brought under control long ago, and Xie Shengzhi's visit this time was only to appease the governor Qi Jia who was guarding the area.

In the backyard of the Qi family.

Qi Lu sighed and looked at the two secret letters on the table.

A letter came from King Rui, promising that all materials shipped to Yuncheng would pass through his Huangzhou, so that the tax revenue under his rule would definitely be doubled.

For him, it is definitely a remarkable political achievement.

But he was told to ignore the refugees who wanted to leave the city and let them gather in Shengjing.

The other one came from the Xie Mansion.

It was actually the same thing, that he didn't need to intercept the refugees who wanted to rush to Shengjing, but...

He also needed to send people to infiltrate the group and pretend to be refugees fleeing famine to protect them on the way.

Everyone knows that the Xie family represents the emperor, plus Prince Rui. Can anyone be easily involved with these two big Buddhas?

Seeing Qi Lu so worried, Madam Qi asked in confusion, "Isn't this considered a request? Why are you so worried?"

Qi Lu shook his head, "Madam, you think too simply."

When two parties are competing with each other and both are in power, the people at the bottom will inevitably be sacrificed.

He said he didn't need to worry about these fleeing refugees, but he knew that the nursery rhyme that had been circulating throughout Huangzhou recently was saying that Shengjing was the place where disaster-stricken people could escape disaster...

It's all man-made.

He seized upon the suffering of the lower classes and made a big fuss about it, blaming it all on the emperor's inaction. If the situation gets any bigger...

I'm afraid some people want it to be a bigger commotion.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If the matter gets out of hand, it can no longer be concealed or hidden.

Qi Lu took a deep breath. This was no longer something that a mere governor like him could solve or interfere with.

It is safest to be a loyal minister. As for the rest, don’t think about it for now. Just follow the secret orders of the emperor.

He didn't really want those political achievements.

[Go left. Cui Ci'an is almost dead. We need to speed up.]

Originally, he was following Yirou's convoy from a distance, but when he was near Huangzhou, he was forced to wake up from hibernation and told by 0065 that Cui Ci'an's position had changed. He had to change his route immediately and take another fork in the road, leaving the heroine alone for the time being.

Sui Yu was riding on a horse, and the inner thighs were almost numb from being rubbed by the saddle. She could still feel the pain before, but now she is insensible to the pain.

He glanced to the side and back imperceptibly, and the secret guard hiding in the dark froze, almost thinking that he had been discovered.

But the man on the galloping horse seemed to just glance at him casually and continued on his way.

Following 0065's instructions, Sui Yu whipped the horse and sped up towards Huangzhou.

Only a few dozen miles away, she found Cui Ci'an in a pile of dried wheat ears.

His body was covered in blood, and even the knife wound on the side of his cheek that ran across his brow and temple looked particularly terrifying, having dried and solidified on his face.

Sui Yu took a deep breath, dismounted, and walked towards Cui Ci'an with slightly unsmooth movements.

Before she got close, the man lying on the ground opened his eyes, his eyes were unfocused, and he turned his hand to hold the knife and was about to chop at her.

"Ah..." Sui Yu accidentally cried out and tripped over a stone while backing away. She managed to steady herself for less than a moment before she was pushed to the ground by the panicked man who came over to hug her and tried to catch her.

"Hmm..." Cui Ci'an woke up from the pain after being hit on the tip of his tongue. What he smelled at the tip of his nose was indeed a faint smell mixed with the scent of earth, but it was still pleasant.

"Yaoyao, is that you?" How could she come to Huangzhou? And how could she appear beside him?

The big hand silently stretched out from Sui Yu's neck and stroked her right earlobe.

Only when he finally felt the tiny touch on his earlobe did Cui Ci'an let down his guard.

Then, a dense pain arose in his heart. Why did his Yaoyao come to this painful place to suffer?

Could it be that those two losers Xie Shengzhi and Pei Jingxie treated her badly?

Sui Yu pushed him, but accidentally pressed on his wound. After hearing a muffled groan, she felt her hand was sticky and surrounded by a strong smell of blood.

Now I dare not move anymore.

"Can you get up by yourself? How can I apply medicine and treat your wounds if I'm holding you down?"

Sui Yu supported herself on the ground with her hands, feeling the pain, and couldn't help but kick his calf.

There was no injury there.

Cui Ci'an was kicked, but he laughed instead. He groped his way to Sui Yu's lips, and after a while he found the spot he liked, and leaned over to give her a big kiss.

"Yaoyao, I feel a little dizzy."

After saying this, the man felt heavy and pressed down on him.

Sui Yu groaned under the pressure and almost couldn't breathe. The soft part in front of her body hurt so much.

"How can I get out if you don't help me?" Sui Yu asked the system for help.

The system data is stuck again. [Anything beyond the scope of the small world is not allowed to exist.]

There are no ghosts in this small world, so it can't get out.

Sui Yu choked hard and hesitated for a long time before she finally got out from under Cui Ci'an's control. "If you delay treatment, don't blame me. You will bear the punishment yourself."

The system wouldn't punish her. [Tests show Cui Ci'an's blood energy has increased by several thousand points. Even if he's not rescued, he can still pull through on his own.]

After all, the male protagonist will not die easily.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Sui Yu pulled a few vines that appeared out of nowhere, and then was led to find an old wooden board, made a simple cart, and with the help of Cui Ci'an, who had somehow become much lighter, successfully brought people to a cave that appeared out of nowhere.

There is withered yellow weeds covering the entrance of the cave. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely not find that there is a place to hide here.

Cui Ci'an was being hunted and hadn't touched water for several days. Now his lips were so dry that they were peeling.

Sui Yu took off the water bottle hanging around her waist and slowly fed him the water.

Perhaps it was his body's instinctive desire for water, as soon as Cui Ci'an touched the mouth of the kettle, he swallowed the water in big gulps.

Sui Yu hurriedly pressed his Adam's apple and said, "Drink slowly, don't be so impatient."

The man actually slowed down his drinking speed, taking small sips, leaning in Sui Yu's arms, and finally drank most of the pot of water.

Huangzhou was so dry that even ferocious beasts were reluctant to come out to hunt, and instead stayed in their dens to conserve their energy.

Sui Yu leaned against the wall and looked at the dark sky through the gap in the cave entrance that was not completely covered by weeds.

There are only a few stars scattered across the sky, and you can't even find them if you don't look carefully.

The clouds seemed very thick, and the moonlight could not penetrate through, and was mostly blocked.

It's going to rain soon.

As soon as this heavy rain falls, the sky in Shengjing will also change.

I don’t know if I will be able to rush back in time to watch this big show.

Although she left a letter of explanation for Pei Jingxun, based on his rude temper and Sui Yu's understanding of him, he would most likely sneak out of the capital to find her.

And Xie Shengzhi...

Sui Yu kept trying to connect those fragmented clues into a thread in her mind, and she already had a vague guess in her heart.

Leaning against the rock wall of the cave, the coldness caused by the huge temperature difference between day and night enveloped her whole body. She sighed softly, covered Cui Ci'an with the blanket that she had brought out from her bag, and then she heard a slight sound coming from outside.
