The moment Xie Ruiyuan dismounted from Qingxi's horse, he knew that he was back. Thinking of the task he had given to Qingxi Sect before, Xie Ruiyuan put down his pen and waited for Qingxi to report the task.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Enter!"

Qingxi walked in, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Qingxi, I pay my respects to the master."

"Stand up and ask how the situation is going."

Speaking of the mission, Qingxi stood up and did not directly answer Xie Ruiyuan's words. Instead, he took off the package on his body.

Xie Ruiyuan watched Qingxi treat a package carefully, leaning lazily on the chair, looking at Qingxi with interest.

Qingxi opened the package, took out a water bag from it, and respectfully presented it to Xie Ruiyuan.

"Master, I have done what you asked me to do, and I have exceeded my expectations."

"Hmm, what is this?"

"I don't know, this is given to you by Miss."

Xie Ruiyuan looked at the water bag on the table, but didn't pick it up immediately. Instead, he said to Qingxi, "You've worked hard. Go down and rest."

"Master, I am not tired, but you need to have a good rest."

After hearing Qingxi's words, Xie Ruiyuan waved his hand, signaling Qingxi to leave.

"I'll take my leave."

When Xie Ruiyuan was the only one left in the study, he picked up the water bag, opened it, and poured it into the cup without hesitation. It was just some water.

Xie Ruiyuan raised his eyebrows. Based on the few times he had met Mengyue, he knew that she was not such a boring person.

Ask Qingxi to bring back a bag of clean water from afar.

After a while, Xie Ruiyuan picked up the cup and took a sip. He found that the water had a refreshing taste, which was followed by a sweet aftertaste, and his entire mouth was filled with a refreshing sweetness.

After drinking it, Xie Ruiyuan slightly exerted his internal strength and did not feel anything wrong with his body.

But he didn't want to believe that Mengyue would let Qingxi go to so much trouble to bring him a pot of delicious water.

But everything happened just as Xie Ruiyuan had imagined. After an incense stick of time, the blood in his body surged and he couldn't hold it back. He vomited a large mouthful of black blood and then fainted.

The secret guard who was protecting Xie Ruiyuan closely immediately called for a doctor the moment he discovered that his master had fainted.

Along with the old doctor came Gu Zhang, the prefect of Guangfu.

When Gu Zhang was young, he was well-educated and upright, but he was inflexible. He was often suppressed in Beijing. Seeing that he had no chance of making a breakthrough, he wanted to resign in anger.

It was Xie Ruiyuan who had a keen eye for talent and recognized Gu Zhang's talent. He recommended Gu Zhang to the emperor and sent him to the south to serve as an official.

Gu Zhang did not disappoint Xie Ruiyuan. In just five years, he had achieved political achievements that others might not be able to achieve in more than ten years. He was promoted very quickly and was already the top leader in the prefecture.

The reason why this flood caused countless people to be displaced is that it was an extremely large flood that was beyond human control. Even if the embankment was built very solidly without any tampering, it could not withstand the impact of the flood that occurs rarely in a century.

Fortunately, when he was in a state of panic, his master arrived in time and made several important decisions swiftly and decisively, thus avoiding further casualties.

Now that the flood has gradually receded, the city is in ruins and the people of the Fu family are trying to find ways to rebuild their homes.

But even if he thought about the Qi family again and took out all the money in the family, it would only be a drop in the bucket and would not solve the fundamental problem.

This time he came here just to ask his master for help, but he didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous scene of his master.
