Just like Xiaoer said, there are not many shops in Bancheng that are still open for business, especially after nightfall, it is so quiet that even the crickets outside the city can be heard.On the contrary, there are more night watchmen than in other places. I think coming to Bancheng has been a lot of trouble recently.

Jiubaijiu asked for a big room, and ordered Xiaoer to put a big bathtub in the room. After letting Jiubaili out for a night tour, he threw himself and Jixiang Aobai into the hot water, making him feel extremely comfortable. The old mud on his body naturally precipitated.

Jixiang put Hulu in the water as a toy, and the little gourd floated on the water surface, sinking and floating: "He said that there is no river god here, what is the river god?"

Ao Bai poked Hulu: "It is the god who guards the water potential of the river."

"—But." Ao Bai thought for a while. "I have never heard of the name Lihe, and the one who will always be stationed here will not be a big dragon." Maybe the "Dragon King" mentioned by half of the city's population is just a higher-level aquarium.

Not all rivers will be assigned dragons to guard them. Some small rivers that are flat usually do not cause any big waves, such as the Li River. Usually, some small dragons from the side branches are sent over, or they are directly appointed by the local aquarium. Jurisdiction.

"Oh?" Jiubaijiu's eyes lit up: "How do you know?" Ao Bai is Ao Li's younger brother, and Ao Li has always been considered by Jiubaijiu to be not a mortal—not to mention the fact that Ao Li is deeply loved now. The emperor's favorite national teacher.

"I just know." Ao Bai wrinkled his little nose.He can't say that the waters with a radius of thousands of miles are all from the same source as the West Sea, and they are essentially his family's things.

"It's a pity that [-]% of the embankment is heavily guarded now, otherwise we can go and have a look." Jiubaijiu scratched his chin regretfully.

Basically, nine hundred and ninety-nine Taoist souls have been burning and have never been extinguished.Especially after experiencing the monster incident in Fancheng with Jixiang last time, he is even more sure that the world needs a talent like him.

It's a pity that he was sent back by that fairy and beautiful brother Ao Li last time, and he hasn't recovered yet. His elegant and powerful uncle smiled and told the guards to tie him up and throw him into the carriage and bring him back to the imperial city. It was locked in the palace.He also said that he played superstition and almost lost his life, and suddenly burned all his cheat papers and that baby bag together.Thinking about it now, Jiubaijiu still feels very distressed.

When Jixiang was struggling (?) on Mount Zhaoyao, Jiubaijiu was also doing an arduous struggle—planning for a month, preparing for two months, and finally took advantage of the old queen's birthday, and all the officials entered the palace to congratulate her. During the chaos, he bribed the little eunuch to escape from the palace and regain his freedom.

Originally Jiubaijiuyi came out like looking for his magic stick master, but unfortunately the old man's whereabouts have been mysterious and can't be found, so Jiubaijiu temporarily set himself up as a hero, eating and drinking all the way to Yangzhou to find the outsider Ao Li was sent to ask him about the fairy brother.

"If the Li River really has a river god, either something happened to the river god, or someone is using the name of the river god to stir up trouble." The hot water was a little cold, and Ao Bai climbed out of the tub. "Rivers under the jurisdiction of the water god will never cause floods for no reason. Something must have happened..."

Before Ao Bai could finish speaking, a white shadow rushed into the open window quickly, and almost fell into the bathtub.

"Jiubaili, didn't you go to exercise after dinner?" Jiubaijiu stood up, took Jixiang out of the water, and put him on the bed. "Going to fight with Big Bird again? I can tell you that the army surnamed Xia Mu is nearby, and he raises eagles."

Jiubaili gurgled and screamed wildly.

"Could it be that you're hungry again?" Jiubaijiu put on his clothes slowly.Dissatisfied with teaching it: "You just ate! Go out for a walk and want to eat again? Do you want to be too fat to fly or too fat to fly? Don't say I didn't warn you... "

"I think it wants to tell us to go out." Ao Bai had already put on his clothes, and went to the window to look out.

"Get out?" Jiubaijiu paused as he kicked his legs into his trousers. "It's late, it's time to go to bed."

"Maybe I won't be able to sleep." Ao Bai turned his head, his big eyes glowed with a dazzling red: "There's water outside."

"Ah?!" Jiubaijiu hadn't reacted yet, the originally silent night was like a thunderbolt struck the sky, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the whole half of the city was startled from the dream.

The sound of footsteps, the clinking of buckets, the sound of screaming and yelling... All the lights in the city were turned on for a while, and it quickly became noisy.

Jiubaijiu rushed to the window to take a look, and the flames were so high that they completely enveloped a room not far away!The place where the fire started was so close to the shop where they lived, Jiubaijiu could almost hear the sound of wooden beams breaking in the fire!

"Let's go out!" Jiubaijiu hurriedly put on his shoes, "Ao Bai! Good luck!"

Ao Bai was fully dressed, with nine hundred miles on his hands.

Jixiang sat naked on the bed, stretched his neck and tried to look out the window.

Nine hundred and nine: "..."

"Jixiang doesn't know how to wear clothes." Ao Bai said.In fact, it’s a bit unfair to say this. Ao Bai is wearing simple casual clothes now, and Jixiang has a maid Zhizhi who is extremely fanatical about matching. Every time she goes out, she puts on layer after layer. There are too many and complicated styles. It has to be changed every day, and Jixiang has no time to learn.

Jiubaijiu spun around twice, hurriedly rolled up Jixiang's clothes and stuffed them into Ao Bai's arms, grabbed Jixiang and ran out.

Ao Bai followed Jiubaijiu and rushed out the door, bumping into Xiao Er who was wearing the wrong shoes.

"Guest officer!" Xiao Er also looked surprised: "I'm still worried that you guys haven't woken up... Come downstairs with me!"

The houses in the half of the city are used to being built next to each other, and they are all wooden houses. If the fire is not well controlled, it will take a cup of tea to spread here.

Jiubaijiu rushed out of Fengqing Building with Ao Bai holding auspiciousness. The proprietress had already come out and was standing outside the door with a worried expression on her face.

The street was actually busier than during the day. Those who were too old and young consciously walked far away, and those who were strong greeted each other to fight the fire. The proprietress smiled and took Ji Xiang, and let Jiubaijiu mix into the firefighting crowd .

Although it was summer, it was still a bit cold in the middle of the night. The proprietress asked Ao Bai to take his skirt and walk slowly to the millstone at the corner grain store to sit down and help Jixiang put on his clothes.

"Did the burning family escape?" Ao Bai was a little worried.

The proprietress smiled: "It doesn't matter, that's the Dragon King Temple, no one lives there."

Although she comforted Ao Bai with her mouth, the proprietress couldn't hide her anxiety in her eyes. "I don't know what's going on on the embankment."

Ao Bai obediently sat on the side, staring at the growing fire in a daze.

Not right.

So wrong.

How could such a big fire suddenly catch up?

They didn't hear anything before Jiubaili flew into the room to warn them—it was so close and there was such a big fire that it was impossible not to hear anything.But when he got to the window, the fire was so fast it was like...

After getting dressed, Jixiang wanted to run towards the direction of the fire, but was grabbed by the proprietress.

"We can't go there now." The proprietress sat in front of the grain store, holding each other. "Everyone is trying to put out the fire..."

"If no one lives there, how could it suddenly catch fire?" Ao Bai casually played with his fingers.

"The Li River has been tossing around for so long, and everyone naturally wondered if something offended the Dragon Lord, so the temple is very busy recently." The proprietress spoke to them, but her eyes were looking in the direction outside the city. "When the incense candles are flourishing, maybe the curtains and tablecloths will be blown by the wind..."

There was a rush of horseshoes, and the cold voice was especially ear-piercing in the chaotic night: "The embankment is dangerous——up the mountain——!!!"

Immediately came the herald in the army, holding up the command flag and sounding like a bell, and a siren sounded to silence the noisy scene.

Three teams of heralds circled the city separately to warn, and another small team of sergeants quickly entered the city to organize the evacuation of the people.

"The embankment is going to collapse?!" The proprietress stood up abruptly, her palms sweating slightly.

"The water level is rising rapidly tonight, the general ordered the whole city to evacuate up the mountain, just in case!" The herald's fast horse quickly disappeared at the end of another street.

"Just in case..." The proprietress bit her lower lip and was about to drag Ji Xiang and Ao Bai away when she saw Jiubaijiu running from the direction of the fire, followed by two teenagers from Fengqinglou.

"The sergeant is going to put out the fire, you go up the mountain first!" Jiubaijiu panted, "Hurry up..."

"What about you?" The proprietress looked at Ji Xiang and Ao Bai in a daze while grabbing Jiubaijiu's clothes, showing no intention of moving.

"We...we'll go up later." Jiubaijiu backed away with a smile.

The proprietress' face turned cold: "What do you want to do? You still have two children with you!"

"We're going up the mountain from another place, don't worry!" Jiubaijiu turned around and ran away pulling Ao Bai Jixiang.

……

There is a small hill to the west of the half city, and most of the crowd went in that direction, but Jiubaijiu took Ao Baijixiang with difficulty and ran towards the city gate to the east.

"You want to go up the embankment?" Ao Bai asked while running.

Jiu Baijiu gasped and gasped: "Don't be kidding, I won't take you with me when I go. If you are washed away by the water, your brother will definitely kill me."

Ao Bai pouted.

If the embankment really burst, I am afraid that only nine hundred and ninety-nine people will be washed away.

"I asked, the army is camping in the eastern suburbs." Jiubaijiu kept walking. "The eastern suburbs are considered highlands, and the Li River is in the south, so it won't be flooded so easily."

After all, people are in panic and chaos now, Jiubaijiu is okay, he is worried that he can't take care of Ji Xiang and Ao Bai Zhouquan - these two children have less common sense than him, if they accidentally get separated, there is nowhere to look for them.Although it's annoying to beg that person surnamed Xia, what children who grew up in the palace are best at is to distinguish which is more important in the shortest time.

After throwing Ji Xiang and Ao Bai to Xia, he will go to the embankment alone to see what's going on!

The Nine Hundred and Nine Small Abacus was being dialed.

Ao Bai looked up at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and tomorrow would be a fine day again.At such a time, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly get wet.

Ao Bai looked at Jiubaijiu and secretly made up his mind.

When Jiubaijiu finds a place to settle down, he must be dismissed and go to the embankment to have a look.

Lihe is under the jurisdiction of Xihai, and he is the third prince of Xihai.

He must go.
