It was still dark when Mu Nanyan returned to the Yao Mansion. She was feeling sleepy after a busy night.

The next day, Mu Nanyan was still asleep. Mo Linyuan got up early and told Mu Qingyun everything that happened last night.

"Your Highness, the ice on the Li River has melted last night. We should tell the people of Lizhou the news without delay."

Mu Qingyun was just about to go out when she saw Mo Linyuan and smiled: "Yuan'er, you're just in time. Come out with us."

"I'll talk to Lord Huo about this later."

In the morning, he saw Mu Nanyan still sleeping and didn't want to disturb her.

He just asked the maid to take good care of her.

He believed that County Magistrate Yao was not bold enough to harm his Yan'er under his nose.

A carriage was parked in front of the Yao Mansion, with the Imperial Master and Huo Qing sitting inside.

Fortunately, the carriage is very spacious and can accommodate many people.

As soon as Mo Linyuan got on the carriage, he saw his master and greeted him immediately. "Master, why are you here too?"

Then, he looked at Huo Qing and greeted him, "Master Huo."

"Yuan'er, sit here." The national master invited him to sit on a seat nearby.

Huo Qing was deep in thought. When he heard Mo Linyuan calling him, he nodded at him.

"We will split into two groups. Lord Huo and Yuan'er will go to gather the people to dig wells, while the Imperial Master and I will go to the city gate to distribute porridge."

"The ice on the Li River has melted last night. Let's quickly inform the people of Lizhou of this news."

As Mu Qingyun was a prince, no one objected to his arrangements.

Huo Qing thought for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, I will arrange this matter.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Lord Huo." Mu Qingyun said solemnly.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and when it reached the main street of Lizhou, the two teams went their separate ways.

The carriage arrived near the city gate, and Mu Qingyun and the Imperial Master got off.

There was already someone waiting at the city gate. As soon as he saw Mu Qingyun, he knelt down.

"Your Highness, the hot porridge is ready." The visitor said respectfully.

Mu Qingyun looked around. This place was open and it was a good place to distribute porridge.

"Let's arrange it." He said casually.

"Yes, Your Highness." Then the man made the arrangements.

These followers are Huo Qing's subordinates, responsible for completing the task of distributing porridge together with Mu Qingyun.

When the disaster victims in Lizhou learned that porridge was being distributed near the city gate, they swarmed over.

The victims were starving and emaciated. Mu Qingyun felt sad when he saw them.

"Don't worry, you all have a share, just line up first." Mu Qingyun said gently, fearing that they would fall.

Although the victims were extremely hungry, they obeyed the rules and lined up quietly.

The team stretched for dozens of miles, so long that there was no end in sight.

There was an elder in the team who, upon seeing Mu Qingyun scooping porridge for them, knelt down immediately.

He said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much for taking pity on us and letting us have something to eat."

Mu Qingyun and the Imperial Master quickly helped him up, "Old man, please get up quickly. This is what we should do."

The old man saw that Mu Qingyun had an extraordinary temperament and wanted to know who he was.

Mu Qingyun had no choice but to tell him his identity, "Old man, I am the second prince of Nanzhao. This time Lizhou is in trouble, and my father sent me here."

The old man knelt down again when he heard it. "It turns out to be the Second Prince."

"Fellow villagers of Lizhou, this is our Second Prince. The Emperor knows that we are suffering, so he specially sent him to help us."

Upon hearing this, the victims kowtowed to Mu Qingyun and said, "Thank you, Second Prince, and thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Qingyun remembered that Mu Nanyan also helped. He didn't want to take all the credit, so he said to them: "This is not just my credit, but also the little princess Mu Nanyan's."

The old man had heard people say that the little princess was the lucky star of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

So, he took the lead and said: "Thank you, little princess, she is really the lucky star of our Nanzhao Kingdom."

Among the crowd, the little beggar from yesterday also came. He spotted the national teacher with his sharp eyes and greeted him.

"My Lord, we meet again."

The national teacher turned around and saw the little beggar. He was a little curious. Could it be that he was in trouble?

“Are you having any trouble?”

The little beggar shook his head and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The money that the adults gave me yesterday has been used up. My grandfather is sick and can't move, so I have to beg for nothing."

It can be seen that the little beggar is very sensible. Although he is young, he has a maturity that is not among his peers.

The imperial teacher felt sorry for him, gave him some silver, and sent someone to invite a doctor to treat his grandfather.

The little beggar's eyes turned red and he knelt down tremblingly. "Thank you, sir. Without you, I don't know what would have happened to my grandfather and I."

The disaster victims nearby were deeply moved when they saw this scene.

Although they live in hardship, someone gives them warmth and they have new expectations for their future life.

On the other hand, Huo Qing called his subordinates and asked them to find out which places were suitable for digging wells.

The nearest place is only 20 kilometers away from Yao Mansion. There are relatively few houses nearby, and there is an open space that is very suitable for digging a well.

When Huo Qing's subordinates first started digging, they had a very hard time. After two hours of digging, they only dug five meters deep.

It's so deep that you can't see any water at all.

Just when they were worried, Mo Linyuan took out the talisman paper given to him by Mu Nanyan from his arms and prepared to try its effect.

"You guys come up first, I'll try it first." Mo Linyuan looked at the people in the pit and said.

The person in the pit looked at Huo Qing, and after receiving his signal, he climbed out of the pit.

Everyone saw Mo Linyuan muttering something, and a piece of talisman paper flew out and fell into the pit.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard, and a big hole was blown in the pit, which was thirty feet deep.

The water gushes out from underground, and the water quality is pure, which is especially suitable for human drinking.

"Water is coming out." Seeing the water coming out, everyone cheered.

They looked at Mo Linyuan with admiration, and that look made Mo Linyuan feel a little embarrassed.

Then they surrounded the pit with bricks to make it in the shape of a well.

Following the same pattern, they continued to find other places suitable for obtaining water and made wells.

When he encountered a place that was difficult to break open, Mo Linyuan used talisman paper to blast it open.

In just half a day, they had already drilled ten wells.

"Inform the people of Lizhou that they no longer need to go to Lijiang to get water, but can come to the closer wells to get water."

Huo Qing commanded his subordinates.

Less than half a quarter of an hour after the news spread, people from nearby came with buckets to fetch water.

They knew that this well was built by Mo Linyuan and Huo Qing, so they knelt down to thank them.

"Thank you, sir, for doing this for our benefit."

After expressing their thanks, some people couldn't even wait and took a sip of water directly.

Although it is winter, the well water is not cold and tastes sweet when you drink it.

The people were overjoyed.

Now, they don’t need to go to Lijiang to fetch water, and they can drink fresh and clean water at any time.
