"Distribute the food to everyone and maintain order."
Yun Shui Ning hurriedly gave a few instructions to her subordinates, then rushed anxiously towards Li Yu's direction.
She walked hurriedly, her white skirt swaying rapidly with her quick steps. The bodyguards behind her then realized what was happening and hurriedly took long strides to keep up.
Yun Shui Ning jogged up to the front of Li Yu's group.
As she approached, she breathed slightly, her gaze fixed on Li Yu and the large black horse beneath him.
Yun Shui Ning's eyes widened, filled with surprise.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly gave a slight bow, his tone revealing an undisguised eagerness as he asked:
"Excuse me, are you the hero Li Yu?"
Upon hearing the word "hero," Li Yu felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, he didn't deliberately hide his identity, simply replying calmly:
"I am Li Yu."
It really was Li Yu! Yun Shui Ning was secretly excited.
She was already quite certain of herself the moment she saw Li Yu.
Looking at Li Yu, who was about the same age as her, Yun Shui Ning couldn't help but admire her secretly.
While she was still trying to learn how to manage the city from her father, Li Yu had already become famous throughout the Central Plains.
However, Yun Shui Ning quickly snapped out of her brief moment of reflection and immediately remembered the urgent matter at hand.
Her expression instantly turned anxious, and she hurriedly explained to Li Yu:
"I'm so sorry, I'm just too excited. I never expected to be so lucky to meet you here."
She calmed herself down and continued:
"My name is Yun Shui Ning, and I am the daughter of the city lord of this water city."
At this point, Yun Shui Ning's voice trembled slightly:
"To be honest, my father, as the lord of Shuicheng, is now facing a great calamity and is in dire straits."
"Someone is trying to kill him!"
“They even publicly declared in the newspapers that they would take my father’s name tomorrow.”
Yun Shui Ning, panting, spoke rapidly and urgently:
"The whole city is in a state of turmoil, and everyone is seeking help everywhere."
"I never expected that I would be so lucky to meet the famous hero of Zhongzhou, Li Yu."
Yun Shui Ning's eyes were filled with admiration and anticipation as she continued:
"I have long heard of your fearlessness and unparalleled bravery, Young Master Li Yu! You have vanquished evil forces and your fame has spread far and wide!"
As she spoke, Yun Shui Ning's eyes gradually reddened, and tears welled up in them.
She choked back tears as she looked at Li Yu with teary eyes:
"Having met you today, Young Master Li Yu is indeed as rumored! He is powerful and righteous! I implore Young Master Li Yu to lend a helping hand and save my father."
Yun Shui Ning's little expression looked so pitiful that it made people feel sorry for her. Even Fu Xi Yao couldn't bear to refuse her because of her adorable appearance and almost agreed to her request.
But Li Yu ignored her and turned her head to look at Ma Yuanbai beside her.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and Li Yu's gaze seemed to ask:
"Who is truly righteous and loyal? Me?"
Ma Yuanbai never expected that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world who knew how to praise people so well. Her praise for Li Yu was comprehensive and well-organized.
Every word he uttered was perfectly apt, leaving him no room for rebuttal.
Seeing that Ma Yuanbai had no reaction, Li Yu turned around again.
Turning around, Li Yu was surprised to find that the members of the Seventh Regiment behind him were nodding repeatedly, seemingly agreeing with what Yun Shui Ning had said.
"This girl has good judgment; she's not blind."
"Yes, there aren't many city people as reasonable as this."
"I think it's just so-so." Some even felt that Yun Shui Ning's praise was not enough, and that it did not fully express the noble character of Commander Li Yu.
However, Li Yu's focus was clearly different from everyone else's.
"Young Master?"
When Li Yu heard Yun Shui Ning call him by that name, he felt a sense of novelty.
This ancient way of addressing people reminded Li Yu of the ancients before a typhoon hit.
'The way this young master is addressed is quite interesting.'
At this moment, the refugees and soldiers gathered at the city gate finally realized what was happening when they heard Yun Shui Ning address Li Yu.
It turns out that the imposing figure riding a black horse is none other than the famous hero of Zhongzhou, Li Yu!
A collective gasp of amazement erupted from the crowd.
"So he was the hero Li Yu!"
The refugee who had just led Li Yu's group suddenly realized what was happening, slapped his thigh hard, and said:
"Oh dear! How come I didn't recognize you just now!"
When the refugees learned that it was the great hero Li Yu who had arrived, they gathered around, trying to catch a glimpse of the hero up close.
There was no fear of Li Yu in their eyes, only a burning expectation and a faint glimmer of hope.
These refugees, who couldn't even solve their most basic needs for food and clothing, had all heard of the hero Li Yu.
What the refugees cared about was not Li Yu's incredible strength in piercing the sky with a single arrow, but rather the legendary stories circulating among them about Li Yu descending from the heavens to save the world.
They deeply regarded Li Yu as a great savior who would save the world.
They had even begun to deify Li Yu without realizing it.
Some people, in order to become the leader among the refugees, embellished and spread Li Yu's deeds, using Li Yu's fame to consolidate their leadership position in the refugee community.
