The king is the guide of the ministers

Go ahead, you just need to give a place on the nearby high ground and the security fee. "

Liu Ci's prestige should be echoed everywhere in Lincheng, so Liu Ci has a way to persuade those people to give up their homes for a while.

"Liu Ci, I'll go with you!" Xuanyuan Lingye naturally understands the reason for this, but he really can't rest assured that Liu Ci will go, after all, Liu Ci is still pregnant now, and the key should be due to a mishap. What to do!

Liu Ci held Xuanyuan Lingye's hands and persuaded him: "You can't leave here, I'll be fine, just borrow your horse. I'll definitely be back within five days! God, you have other things to do."

"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Lingye frowned slightly.

Liu Ci smiled secretly: "Buy gunpowder outside the imperial city! As soon as Yan Yiqing's soldiers and horses come, they will be blown away!"

"You can figure it out!" Xuanyuan Lingye didn't expect Liu Ci to defend the city, and he really did everything he could to defend the city.

"That's natural, I guess, maybe Yan Yiqing was killed by us before the war!" The cheerful tone was still deeply worried.Liu Ci felt that there might be only these things that he could do.

"Liu Ci..."

"Ok?"

Liu Ci looked at Xuanyuan Lingye, Xuanyuan Lingye hugged him: "Go early and come back early!"

"Yes, I will."

Liu Ci was sent away by Xuanyuan Lingye. Although Xuanyuan Lingye didn't say anything, no one knew the shame in his heart.Xuanyuan Lingye blamed himself every time he watched Liu Ci working hard for himself, these were not what he wanted.

The last time I went to Lincheng, Liu Ci was very sad.But this time, he was very happy.

Perhaps Xuanyuan Lingye was really blessed by the heavens, and before he reached Lincheng, it had already started to drizzle.When Liu Ci arrived in Lincheng, he went directly to the home of the old man from last time. The old man was very surprised when he saw that it was Liu Ci. welcome!"

"The old man is polite, but this time I have something important to ask the old man for help!"

Chapter 052: Meeting the Old Man Again

"I don't know if Xiangye needs my help for something important?" The old man raised his hand and bowed to Liu Ci.

Liu Ci returned the salute, and then reasoned with the old man, persuading him to persuade everyone to move out of here.This is the choice between the country and the family. Without the country, there will be a family.The old man is a wise person, so after Liu Ci's remarks, he agreed to help Liu Ci without thinking too much.

"It's just how to do this flooded city?"

The old man was a little embarrassed, since Liu Ci got rid of the flood, the whole Lincheng was no longer troubled by the flood.

Liu Ci said: "This is easy to handle, as long as the ditches dug earlier are blocked, one end and one end are blocked with huge stones, and it will be convenient to take them out when the time comes. It's just that I have to make everyone move out of here for a few days."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded and said: "Hehe, according to what Xiang Ye said, this old man will let people do it. But Xiang Ye will stay here for a few days until the matter is done before leaving? If so, this old man will order someone to do it. Go and clean up the place for Xiang Ye."

"You don't need to be busy, the old man, this is going to be relocated, and I can go to the highland with everyone."

While speaking, he only saw a young man with a bare neck coming from outside carrying a hoe, when the young man met Liu Ci's eyes, he was both surprised and delighted.

"Stone!"

Liu Ci never imagined that he would meet Shishi here, the last time Shishi protected him along the way, he didn't rush to thank him, and Shishi disappeared without a trace. "Why are you here?"

Shi Shi pulled the clothes around his waist and wiped the sweat or rain on his forehead, and smiled at Liu Ci.

"Master Xiang, this young man's life experience is a bit pitiful." The old man sighed pitifully.

Liu Ci looked at the stone, and he also felt that the stone seemed a bit out of place.So he asked the old man, "What's the explanation? That little brother has been kind to me. If there is any difficulty, I will do my best to help him."

The old man made a few gestures to Shi Shi, Shi Shi nodded and walked away.

From meeting to leaving, Stone never said a word.Liu Ci also vaguely noticed something.

"Old man, he can't speak anymore?"

Liu Ci frowned, obviously Xuanyuan Lingye said that Wuying took the stone back to heal his wounds at that time, with Congmo's medical skills, how could the stone become dumb?

The old man signaled Liu Ci to sit down, and the old man also sat down, lit the pipe in his hand, took a puff slowly, and then said: "I remember that young man was found by someone fishing in the river. He thought he couldn't be saved, his whole body was covered with injuries, especially his throat was cut. People who saw that scene would naturally think that he couldn't survive. But when everyone wanted to give up At the time, the child was grabbing the people around him tightly..."

Liu Ci bowed his head and said nothing, he really couldn't figure out what happened to Shi Shi when he disappeared?

The old man took another sip, and in the wisps of smoke, he continued: "The people present at that time were all stunned by his determined eyes that wanted to live, so they brought him to me. To be honest Well, the old man is a doctor, and he is good at showing people a headache. It's just that the child was injured too badly, and I'm afraid he won't be able to speak again in his life..."

"It's so badly injured..." Liu Ci recalled that the old man said that when the stone was found, the stone's throat was injured, but Liu Ci looked at the old man fiercely: "Did someone cut off the vocal cords?"

"Vocal cords?" The old man was puzzled for a while, but soon understood what Liu Ci was talking about.

The old man nodded: "Yes, it was cut off, and the hearing in both ears was also destroyed..."

Liu Ci's brows frowned even tighter, who is so cruel to treat Shishi like this. "Old man, I want to take him back, see... can it be possible?" For Shi Shi, Liu Ci was full of guilt. If he hadn't been involved by himself, then Shi Shi wouldn't have encountered such a thing?Moreover, Zheng Taiwei, Shi Shi's only relative, died in his own hands...

Liu Ci felt that he really owed Shi Shi a lot.

"It depends on whether the child is willing or not. But being able to follow Master Xiang is also a blessing for the child!" The old man smiled with some relief. He could see at a glance that Shi Shi had a great grievance. If Ci takes him back, then the child's grievances will definitely be cleared!

Liu Ci smiled faintly, who can tell whether it's a blessing or a curse?

"Then I'll go talk to him!" Liu Ci stood up and walked in the direction pointed by the old man.

The rain soaked the hem of his clothes, and Liu Ci walked to the stone with an umbrella.Shi Shi was standing by the well drawing water, when he saw Liu Ci approaching, he pointed to the corridor, signaling Liu Ci to go over and wait for him.

Liu Ci didn't leave, but he bent down to pick up a branch, and wrote on the dirt: Stone, are you willing to go back with me?

Shi Shi looked at the words written on the ground, but frowned and shook his head.It's not that Shi Shi doesn't want to go back, but because Shi Shi can't read.If you tell it, no one will believe it, but the stone is illiterate.

Seeing Shi Shi shaking his head, Liu Ci became anxious: Why?

Shi Shi thought for a while, took the branch in Liu Ci's hand and drew randomly on the ground for a while, Liu Ci looked at it for a long time before realizing that the crooked character was the word "stone".Now Liu Ci understood, Shitou was telling himself again that he was illiterate...

"Stone..." Liu Ci suddenly felt very sad, and without speaking, Liu Ci pulled the stone and walked out.

In this way Shitou finally understood Liu Ci's intention, Liu Ci wanted to take him away.However, Shitou remembered what happened to him, he couldn't hurt Liu Ci, and he broke Liu Ci's hand, Shitou expressed his unwillingness.

"Shitou, I'll take you back, maybe I can heal you in the end?" Knowing that Shitou couldn't hear what he said, Liu Ci repeated it many times.

At this moment, the old man came over and gestured to Shi Shi, Shi Shi looked at Liu Ci in surprise, and then touched his throat.Even if you can no longer speak, even if you can still hear!

With some hesitation, Shitou thought that with so many powerful people around Liu Ci, there shouldn't be any problems!After thinking twice, Stone finally nodded in agreement.

From then on, Shi Shi and Liu Ci were inseparable.Wherever Liu Ci went, he followed.Although Shitou is dumb and deaf, but Shitou's skills are still here. In this way, he also helped Liu Ci avoid a lot of troubles.

By the time the boulder blocked the ditch from head to toe and everyone had moved out, five days had already passed.The time he made an appointment with Xuanyuan Lingye has passed.

Liu Ci looked at the slowly rising water level, and then he rode his horse back to Dongting with peace of mind.

Looking back at Lincheng, Liu Ci hoped that he could really block Yan Yiqing for a while.

Before Yan Yiqing's troops arrived in Lincheng, they had already received news that Liu Ci had personally made a trip to Lincheng.Yan Yiqing looked at the continuous rainy day, but raised the corners of her lips, and smiled at the masked person beside her, "Zhijiang, what do you think Liu Ci did when he went to Lincheng?"

Zhijiang didn't make a sound, he didn't want to hear the name Liu Ci.Because of this name, Yan Yiqing was completely crazy.

Yan Yiqing didn't care that Zhijiang didn't respond to his words. Instead, he said in a good mood: "The flood in Lincheng is famous far and wide. When Prime Minister Liu was still in office, he easily eliminated the flood. This time, If my guess is correct, he must be trying to force me to make a detour to delay time by flooding Lincheng with water."

Zhijiang snorted coldly: "It took time
