Chapter 137 Yangcheng Flood (1/2)



"Ling'er, Hanhan started talking." Ren Yanran said excitedly.

"Sister Yanran, this is good. Hanhan will get better and better." Xiao Ling'er was also very happy to hear that.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling'er lived a fairy-like life. Apart from refining pills, she monitored the movements of Senna and the new empress of Luomeng Kingdom, and occasionally participated in lotteries.

Xiao Ling'er felt like she was about to become a voyeur.

The weather has been good recently and it has been raining almost every day, so Xiao Ling'er can only stay at home and not go out.

I stayed there for a full half month.

That day, Gu Yunting came to the Xiao family with a rather heavy expression on his face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Ling'er looked at Gu Yunting and asked.

"Ling'er, I need to go to Yangcheng. There's been a flood there, and the people have suffered heavy casualties. The imperial envoy sent by my father has vanished without a trace."

Xiao Ling'er sat up straight, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go with you."

Gu Yunting hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Time was running out, so Xiao Ling'er gave Mu Xiya some instructions and set off with Gu Yunting.

In order not to waste time, Xiao Ling'er took Gu Yunting directly into her Maybach and drove at a speed of 145 kilometers per hour.

It took the two of them two days to reach Yangcheng. After getting off the car, Gu Yunting could not escape the fate of vomiting violently.

Xiao Ling'er gave him a cup of spiritual spring water and waited until he felt better before preparing to go into the city.

However, the two men did not expect that they would be stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate as soon as they arrived.

Even though Gu Yunting took out his imperial envoy token, the gatekeeper still asked the two to wait.

Gu Yunting and Xiao Ling'er looked at each other and waited quietly outside the city gate.

An hour later, Hu Zhizhou of Yangcheng arrived late with several officials.

"Imperial Envoy Mu, I just returned from Lu County and was unable to greet you in time. I hope you will forgive me."

Hu Zhizhou glanced at Gu Yunting and then at Xiao Ling'er. He spoke politely but his attitude was somewhat indifferent.

Especially after taking a look at Xiao Ling'er, a hint of imperceptible contempt flashed across his eyes.

"This time we came..."

"Hey, Imperial Envoy Mu has been traveling all the way. Let's not talk about official business for now. I'll take you to wash up first."

Hu Zhizhou interrupted Gu Yunting directly and winked at several officials beside him.

"Yes, yes, I know that Envoy Mu cares about the people, but they also need to have enough food and water to have the strength to solve the flood problem." One of the officials echoed.

"That's right. Imperial Envoy Mu has been traveling all the way. I have already prepared wine and food. Please come with me." Another official stepped forward and said.

Gu Yunting glanced at Xiao Ling'er, who nodded slightly.

"Okay, lead the way." Gu Yunting replied.

"Yes, yes, please follow me." Several officials took Gu Yunting and Xiao Ling'er to a mansion.

The mansion looks very ordinary from the outside, but after entering it, you will find that it is unusual.

It can be said that the entire mansion is magnificent and extremely luxurious. The pillars are all made of golden nanmu wood, and many places around it are decorated with gold, silver and jewelry.

Gu Yunting and Xiao Ling'er walked and observed, and several officials showed contempt in their eyes.

When they were almost at the main hall, two maids suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Linger and said, "Miss, please follow me."

Gu Yunting wanted to stop him, but Xiao Ling'er shook her head slightly.

I followed the maid to a bathroom, which contained a large bathtub and all the necessary clothes.

After Xiao Ling'er walked in, the two maids retreated, but did not leave. Instead, they stood guard outside the door.
