Chapter 61 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 19
Yu Sheng never expected that the county magistrate was a patriotic and honest official.
"Yes, that's true. He was originally an official in the capital, but because he was stubborn, he was suppressed and demoted to the position of magistrate in Fengzhou."
"His wife couldn't take it anymore and remarried, staying in the capital with their child, while he stayed in Fengzhou for several years."
888 concluded, "Overall, he's a good person."
When Yu Sheng first arrived, she noticed that the magistrate of Fengzhou County was dressed in the same style as he had been a few years ago, and his clothes were almost faded from washing.
"I wonder if the magistrate has ordered anyone to prepare the items I mentioned in my letter?"
Before they even set off from the capital, Yu Sheng hurriedly sent a letter to the magistrate of Fengzhou County, outlining his requests for rainmaking.
The magistrate nodded quickly.
"Grand Preceptor, this way please. Everything you requested is in the storeroom. As for the Rain Prayer Platform, we built it on the highest mountain in Fengzhou, just as you requested."
The magistrate led Yu Sheng to the storeroom, where Yu Sheng checked the required materials.
All the materials were readily available.
He took the cinnabar and yellow paper to his study, dipped his brush in the cinnabar, and drew incantations on the yellow paper that no one else could understand.
Xie Hanzhou stared intently.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that after Yu Sheng finished the last stroke, a golden light seemed to flash across the talisman on the yellow paper.
When he looked more closely, he found that it seemed as if nothing had happened.
He gently tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve.
Yu Sheng paused, her hand already poised to draw a talisman, and turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
Xie Hanzhou pointed to the talisman and asked, "Wasn't it glowing just now?"
Yu Sheng nodded without hiding anything.
"Yes, it's just a normal phenomenon."
"Actually, there is a simpler way to pray for rain, but this is more convincing, and the people of Fengzhou will feel more at ease. In addition, it saves unnecessary trouble."
"For example... you might mistake your husband for a demon and then shout for him to be killed."
Xie Hanzhou frowned, then blurted out, "They dare—"
Xie Hanzhou agreed with this point.
In his eyes, Yu Sheng was no different from a bewitching enchantress who would always make him fall for her.
888: Pah! You're the one who got lustful, you shameless person!
Yu Sheng chuckled and nudged someone's chest. "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, sit down and watch. I need to get back to work."
I was actually rejected.

Yu Sheng drew the talisman very quickly, and it didn't take long to finish the talisman he needed.
Holding a stack of talismans and having others bring the necessary items for praying for rain, the group headed to the North Mountain.
When the people of Fengzhou City heard that Yu Sheng was going to pray for rain, they all put down what they were doing and followed him to the top of Beishan Mountain.
And so, a long queue formed all the way to the top of the mountain.
Qin Zheng, who had been secretly observing, walked to the window and watched as the people of Fengzhou flocked to Beishan, gently waving her folding fan.
"Then, Your Excellency, shall we go and see how this Grand Preceptor of the Li Kingdom pretends... I mean, how he prays for rain?"
Bai Jinghan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't think that just because you changed your mind quickly, I didn't hear the word 'pretend'."
"Hmph! Your Highness, you'd better watch carefully later. You may think I'm just faking it, but this Grand Preceptor of Li Kingdom... is no ordinary person!"
Qin Zheng didn't say much.
As for Bai Jinghan's statement that it was "not simple," we'll have to wait until he sees it before we can draw a conclusion.
Tie Niu, who was standing to the side, couldn't get a word in edgewise. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his Crown Prince say, "Tie Niu, I'm leaving you with a difficult task."
Tie Niu's eyes lit up. "Your Highness, Tie Niu will definitely complete Your Highness's mission."
"Alright!" Qin Zheng patted Tie Niu on the shoulder. "Then Tie Niu, you can stay here and gather information!"
"Iron Ox obeys!"
Bai Jinghan scoffed.
This fool is so easy to fool. He calls it gathering information, but he's really just guarding the house.
Thus, the crown prince and the national advisor of the neighboring country infiltrated the ranks of the people of Fengzhou.
Looking at the rain-praying platform on the mountaintop, Yu Sheng felt very satisfied.
After placing the wooden table on the rain-praying platform, Yu Sheng arranged the items one by one in order, then gave Xie Hanzhou a look, and Xie Hanzhou immediately scurried up to the platform.
"Sheng Sheng, what do you need me to do?"
Yu Sheng handed him the peach wood sword, saying, "Practice your swordplay in a bit."
"Yes, it can't stop unless it's raining!"
Xie Hanzhou nodded, then picked up the peach wood sword and began to practice his swordplay.
Yu Sheng held a stack of talismans between two fingers, chanting obscure incantations. As the last syllable fell, the stack of talismans suddenly glowed with golden light. Yu Sheng's expression hardened, and he raised his hand to scatter the talismans into the sky.
The people of Fengzhou seemed to see golden light enveloping the entire sky, and they were all so shocked that they could hardly express it.
As the light dimmed, dark clouds rolled in the sky, soon completely covering the entire sky.
The people of Fengzhou were both surprised and delighted to see a large patch of dark clouds in the sky.
The county magistrate had tried various methods before, but none of them worked. He never expected that with His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor's arrival, there would be hope for rain.
As Xie Hanzhou's sword dance progressed at breakneck speed, the dark clouds grew heavier and heavier, turning the bright, sunny day into a dense, oppressive blanket that made onlookers uneasy.
"Boom!"
The first clap of thunder in spring brought a gentle spring rain to Fengzhou.
The people of Fengzhou looked at the gentle spring rain falling from the sky, their faces beaming with genuine smiles.
"Thanks to His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor!"
It's unclear who shouted that, but it drew agreement from almost everyone.
Xie Hanzhou didn't like the people of Fengzhou kneeling before him, so they didn't kneel, but they all clamored to build a temple for him and Yu Sheng to worship.
This left the two of them both speechless, both amused and exasperated.
"Fellow villagers, please go back first. The Imperial Advisor said that the rain will be heavy soon and the roads will be difficult to travel."
As the people of Fengzhou left one by one, Yu Sheng and Xie Hanzhou smiled at each other and strolled in the rain together under an oil-paper umbrella.
After everyone had left, Qin Zheng, who was hiding in the tree, finally came to her senses.
He suddenly looked at Bai Jinghan, "This...this..."
"So Your Highness, please stop calling me a charlatan all the time. Look, wasn't my predecessor amazing?!" He stroked his white beard, looking quite pleased with himself.
It's quite amusing to see the little prince's shocked expression.
Qin Zheng smiled sheepishly, "Your Excellency, could Yu Sheng really be a reincarnation of an immortal?"
It seems only immortals could do that, right?
Who knows?
Qin Zheng: "Can't you just stop using cryptic language?"
"No, that won't work."

"Imperial Advisor, what do you think if I were to go..."
Bai Jinghan interrupted him, "Your Highness, don't even think about poaching someone's partner, it's impossible!"
Qin Zheng: I don't believe it!
He absolutely had to try! Such a capable person, if he were in a neighboring country, at that time…
