Nangong Yun looked at the anxious Fu Manxing and took action without delay.
"Okay, I'll order my subordinates to evacuate Pear Village. Is there anything else I can do?"
"Master Su, the flood will likely surge from the Huai River towards Lijia Village and then quickly reach Li Village. Because this flood is so powerful, other low-lying areas also need increased early warning. It would be best to build refugee camps on higher ground, and Danzhou's river defenses should also be raised."
"Mr. Su, you are a prince and you definitely know more than me. If I say anything wrong, you can correct me, but everyone in Li Village must be evacuated today."
Fu Manxing frowned and looked at Nangong Yun. She had never experienced command before, and the reason she could say so much was because she usually liked to read the miscellaneous books brought back from outside the valley, so she would not be in the dark.
"Don't worry, what you told me is enough to handle this matter."
"Miss Man, it's cold outside. You are not suitable to go out now because of your special status. Just rest in this room. Leave these matters to me. We will discuss the rest in detail when we have time."
Nangong Yun looked at Fu Manxing, whose eyes were still anxious, and spoke out to stop her from following.
"Okay, go ahead, I won't disturb you."
Fu Manxing also knew that she couldn't help now, so she nodded and stopped.
After going out, Nangong Yun gestured to the shadow guard hiding in the dark to follow closely and left.
While walking in the aisle, he suddenly spoke to Lu Yi who was following behind him.
"Lu Yi, you stay here and find a maid with a clean background to serve that girl."
"Hey? Okay, okay, sir. I'll do it right away."
When Lu Yi received Nangong Yun's gaze, he immediately shut up and left.
Although he was curious about how this woman got together with the young master so quickly.
Nangong Yun was a decisive man. Since he had chosen to believe Fu Manxing, he did not hesitate any longer. He quickly rode his horse back to Lijia Village to find Lord Li who was still in command.
After knowing that she is a member of the Fu tribe, her actions can be understood.
He had no experience in society and was very naive. He even chose to reveal his identity in order to save someone.
The contact was brief, but he was certain that Fu Manxing's appearance had been concealed from everyone.
The tone she used when she mentioned Fu Yao just now was not respectful.
It seems that the two have a grudge?
This may be the reason why Fumanxing left the valley.
No matter what the relationship between the two is, Fu Manxing can't escape his surveillance.
After speeding all the way, he returned to Lijia Village in just two quarters of an hour.
"Young Master—"
"No need for polite words. Lord Li, you can see that this year's rain is more severe than in previous years. I have an important task for you to carry out."
Nangong Yun spoke up to stop Lord Li from bowing and went straight to the point.
"My lord, I will do my best to obey your orders."
Lord Li bowed and saluted.
"With your words, it's easy. Send a team to assist with the evacuation of Li Village now. The sooner the better, and it would be best if everyone is evacuated tonight."
"Sir! Do you really believe what that woman said?"
When Lord Li heard this, he spoke anxiously, saying, "Isn't this just a hassle?"
It's almost midnight, who would listen to him?
There hadn't been such a heavy rainstorm in nearly twenty years. When he notified the people of Lijia Village to leave, many villagers were reluctant to leave their fields and it took a long stalemate before they were persuaded.
What's more, Li Village has never suffered a flood.
"Master Li, you just said you would follow my orders."
Nangong Yun glanced at Lord Li with a serious tone.
"Sir, please forgive me, but the rain is so heavy now, and the river dam reinforcement is still in a hurry. How can we send people to Li Village?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li knelt on the ground, clasped his fists above his head and begged for mercy.
Nangong Yun looked at Li Qing and leaned over and stretched out his hand to slowly help him up.
"I know Lord Li is wholeheartedly devoted to the people, but you can't always judge the present based on past experience. Isn't this year's heavy rain even heavier than three years ago?"
"Alright, Lord Li, the money lost by the people of Li Village will be returned to them once the officials who deliver the supplies arrive. Let's do it now."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Lord Li looked at Nangong Yun, who would not refuse, and could only nod and agree.
Just as he was about to send a team of people, Nangong Yun spoke again.
"Master Li, please go in person and make sure everyone leaves tonight. I'll keep an eye on Lijia Village."
He knew that if Lord Li did not go, it would be difficult for the people of Li Village to leave.
"Remember, all agricultural losses will be covered by the government, so they can leave with peace of mind."
"Yes, sir."
Lord Li's old face was wrinkled like a pimple after he turned around.
Could it be that this Third Prince is just talking nonsense and giving random orders?
That's not right. When the Third Prince was the Crown Prince, his talent and learning were always recognized as outstanding. And three years ago, he was ordered to go to war and defeated the enemy at such a young age. He shouldn't be so reckless...
Lord Li shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. He decided to go and do it first. It would not be easy to persuade the people of Li Village to leave.
Nangong Yun looked up at the sky where it began to drizzle again, frowning slightly. Why hadn't there been any news from the capital yet?
Is it true as Fu Manxing said that the Saint Maiden did not predict it, or does Nangong Qi want to take this opportunity to get rid of him?
If there was an assassination attempt on the road, he had no doubt that his good brother would not take the opportunity to attack him.
Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He didn't want to argue, but he retreated again and again to no avail.
Now his relationship with Nangong Qi has completely broken down!
He looked at the surging river not far away and suppressed the hatred in his heart.
He instructed the captain of the soldiers to go and assist Lord Li after dealing with Lijia Village, and he was going to the river dam.
As soon as I returned to the city, I met Fu Manxing walking towards the river dam with an oil-paper umbrella.
"Mr. Su, are you going to the dam?"
Fu Manxing looked at the horse's hooves that stopped in front of him, and looked up at Nangong Yun on the horse in surprise.
"Um."
"I want to go with you."
Lu Yi behind him spread his hands helplessly when he saw the look in his master's eyes.
"Okay, but to avoid trouble you can't leave my sight."
"Can."
Fu Manxing did not hesitate. It started raining again and she wanted to go to the river to see the situation herself.
"Lu Yi, go to the north slope and help build the refugee camp."
After saying this, Nangong Yun reached out to Fu Manxing.
"offend."
Fu Manxing looked at the big hand reaching out to her and hadn't reacted yet. She felt dizzy and the next moment she was sitting on the horse's back.
When Lu Yi saw his young master riding away with Fu Manxing in his arms, he silently made a cow gesture behind his back.
As expected of his son, his ability to act is top-notch.
Once upon a time, he thought his son would be alone for the rest of his life, but now it seems that he is the one who will be alone for the rest of his life.
Fu Manxing was a little nervous as it was his first time riding a horse. He sat stiffly in Nangong Yun's arms, holding the umbrella.
Nangong Yun's strong arms held her and held the reins. The veins on his broad palms bulged, making him look very powerful and giving people a sense of security.
