Because of the bumps, she would lean against Nangong Yun's chest from time to time, which made her sit up uncomfortably. Just at this moment, the horse made a sharp turn, and she leaned uncontrollably behind her.
The sudden collision made her clearly feel how strong the chest muscles behind her were. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Nangong Yun behind her, and was stunned for a moment when she saw his angular jaw and protruding Adam's apple.
At this moment, Nangong Yun suddenly lowered her eyes. She looked at the eyes that had always had a calm expression. Her cheeks instantly turned red. She quickly sat up straight, and apologized in a low voice with some embarrassment.
Nangong Yun looked at the panicked Fu Manxing and then looked back forward.
He thought of Fu Manxing who had blushed just now and sighed in his heart.
It turns out that girls are softer than men.
After several years of living in the frontier, his whole body became rough. The elegant young man he was once known as in the capital was no longer visible on his face. Instead, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dark and tough complexion. The scar at the corner of his eye made him look even more ferocious.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere soon faded away and Manxing forgot about it.
As it was her first time riding a horse, even though someone else was riding, she was still excited to watch the scenery quickly passing by.
Soon the two arrived at the river dam.
Nangong Yun led the horse to an open space and walked towards the river dam.
Fu Manxing followed him silently, holding an oil-paper umbrella and looking like a maid.
"Who are you? It's going to rain heavily soon. Leave now if you have nothing to do."
A soldier stopped the two men in their tracks.
"I was sent by Lord Li."
Nangong Yun took out the token and led Fu Manxing towards the river dam smoothly.
This river is called Li River. If it is not handled properly, it will directly affect Dan County. At this time, there are many strong men on the riverside who are carrying sandbags to repair the embankment in the heavy rain.
The river governor who managed the river was called Wang Duan. He was an upright man who strictly abided by the ethics of his official position and would never abuse his power for personal gain.
He is also a rare good official in Danzhou.
Fu Manxing stood by and watched the surging water in the river dam and the rapidly expanding river bank, with worry in his eyes. Once the water broke through the dam, it would wreak havoc on Dan County.
"Sir, why are you here? It's very dangerous here."
A middle-aged official in patched clothes hurried over from a distance and saluted Nangong Yun.
"Master Wang, don't worry about us. Time is running out and you should get busy."
"Yes, sir, I will take my leave."
Wang Duan has a lot of good feelings towards Nangong Yun, who defeated the enemy at a young age.
He was even more satisfied with the non-pretentious approach and quickly said goodbye to continue directing the river engineering work.
There is still time to rest and they must seize it.
Fu Manxing stood by the river, staring at the turbid and turbulent water. She looked up at the sky, then knelt down and listened to the earth. She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand, pinched her fingers in front of her chest, and then raised her palm to the ground.
Nangong Yun stood quietly by the side watching Fu Manxing's actions.
This was the first time he observed the Floating Clan using spiritual power up close. In the past, the saints in the palace had their own palaces, and no one was allowed to be present when using spiritual power.
But now he was witnessing the use of the Floating Clan's spiritual power on the spot.
He had good eyesight and saw a green light flowing out from Fu Manxing's fingertips and quickly drilling into the ground.
He once again lamented the naivety of Fu Manxing for using her spiritual power right in front of him.
If you meet someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't he be captured and used by him?
A few minutes later, Fu Manxing's face turned pale. She felt something was wrong and hesitated, so she used her spiritual power at the risk of being assassinated. Unexpectedly, she actually saw something she shouldn't have seen.
The first time she practiced using spiritual power, she didn't control the strength well. What she saw now was like peeping into the secrets of heaven, and the backlash was so severe that she could hardly stand up.
Nangong Yun looked at Fu Manxing, whose face turned pale in an instant, and stepped forward to help him up.
"Miss Man, did you see anything?"
"Master Su, it's not just Li Village... the river dam will also be breached, and then Dan County will be flooded. What should I do?"
Misty eyes gradually appeared in Fu Manxing's eyes. She didn't know how to change. Even if she used her spiritual power, it was impossible to stop the heavy rain. All she could do was predict.
"Don't worry, leave these to me. All you have to do now is tell me everything you know, and I will take care of it."
Nangong Yun supported Fu Manxing, who was unsteady on his feet, and comforted him.
He had anticipated the worst-case scenario before these situations were predicted, so he wasn't completely clueless now.
"Mr. Su, how is the evacuation of Li Village going? I want to go to Li Village to take a look."
Fu Manxing looked at Nangong Yun who remained calm, and was gradually infected and suppressed his panic and spoke.
Immediately, Fu Manxing looked at the sky above his head which was gradually getting darker, with a frown that was always filled with sorrow.
Ever since she left the valley, her brows have never relaxed and she has always been worried.
"Thank you, sir, for believing in me."
"You are a member of the Floating Tribe, so of course I will believe you."
"Thank you, sir."
Fu Manxing was stunned for a moment by these words, but still thanked him sincerely.
No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that he chose to believe her and help her.
Soon the horses passed through a muddy section of the road and arrived at Pear Village.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I could see many soldiers helping the people carry their belongings away.
Nangong Yun looked at the orderly side with a frown on his face.
It's not enough, it's too slow.
If we really want to evacuate before dawn, we cannot take these farm tools and furniture with us.
"Miss Man, take a walk around here."
"I'm going to find Master Li."
Fu Manxing nodded and watched Nangong Yun leave in big strides.
"Sir, this...I'm afraid the people won't be convinced."
Lord Li looked worried after hearing this. It was already difficult for the people to move now. If they were asked to abandon their furniture and livestock and leave without taking anything, no one would listen to the government.
"Lord Li, I repeat, everyone must leave. If anyone refuses to leave, I will carry them away."
Nangong Yun looked at Li Qing who was still questioning him, and seeing that time was getting later, he simply used his status to pressure him.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I will do it right away."
Li Qing looked at the angry Nangong Yun, realized that he had crossed the line, and quickly knelt down to apologize.
"Okay, let's do it quickly."
Nangong Yun had investigated Danzhou officials long before he came. He knew that although Li Qing was too upright, he was a good official who served the people.
Although he did not intend to pursue Li Qing's repeated questioning, not everyone in the royal family could question him again and again.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry."
Fu Manxing noticed the conversation between the two, and seeing that the evacuation progress was slow because they didn't trust them, he apologized with some frustration.
"Manxing, why are you apologizing? Your identity is not convenient to reveal, so concealing your existence is the safest option."
"I was wrong."
Fu Manxing looked at Nangong Yun's calm appearance, and his panicked heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, why should she panic? She has done everything she can. With the help of a good official like Mr. Su who serves the people, things will definitely be resolved smoothly.
