=====================

After thinking for a while, Xuan Tianshe decided to brave the rain to take a look at the embankment. If it wasn't for him to implement this look himself, then he couldn't let go of his hanging heart.

He never told Han Jue that he was going out, until he was standing alone on the river embankment in the rain with an umbrella, when he saw a purple-clothed figure coming in the rain.

"The city lord left his subordinates to fight alone. Does this mean...doesn't trust me?" Han Jue lowered his eyes sadly, with a pitiful gesture, and his tone was extremely low.

Xuan Tianshe couldn't help but feel his heart tense, and said hastily, "No, I just watched the heavy rain, and I don't want you to come out with me to suffer again."

Han Jue suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bright.He just kept staring at Xuan Tianshe, causing Xuan Tianshe to touch his face involuntarily, feeling a little hot and embarrassed, and he even suspected that he had said something wrong just now.

Han Jue was holding a smoky gray oil-paper umbrella, with iris petals delicately outlined on it, making the supposedly ordinary person under the umbrella look so pretty when he squinted his eyes.

Xuan Tianshe was stunned for a moment, the wind blew and raindrops hit him, making him shiver, and then he recovered.He cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, and asked again, "Did Mr. Liu see anything?"

Han Jue asked back, "Did the city lord see anything?"

"Never." Xuan Tianshe shook his head, "Maybe we are overthinking."

Han Jue evoked a slightly cold smile, raised his pointed chin and raised his head towards the opposite side of the river bank.Because of Xuan Tianshe's spiritual practice, his five senses are stronger than others, and his vision is much farther than others.He looked in the direction pointed by Han Jue, but saw a small stream of water pouring into the opposite farmland along the gap.

"The most feared thing really happened." Han Jue sighed, but he was still sure.

Xuan Tianshe rubbed his eyes, then fixed his eyes and looked towards the opposite bank of the river, but the result was still the same.Of course Xuan Tianshe knew the reason why the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, not to mention that there was already a gap.

Because the water level rose, the pressure on the already weak dam became more dangerous.If the water level rises again, the cracks will become bigger and bigger, breaking through the dam and letting all the water in the moat rush out, that will be the prelude to flooding the city.

Xuan Tianshe panicked, his white lower lip was bloodshot from his clenched teeth.He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, thought for a moment, and raised his hand to temporarily seal the gap with a wave of spiritual power.

He turned his head and gave Han Jue a forced smile as if to appease him, and said, "I will use my spiritual power to seal the gap first, but I can't hold it for too long. If the rain keeps on falling, there will definitely be a breakthrough At that time. If that time really arrives, Xuan'an will be flooded, and no one in the city will be spared."

"What is the city lord going to do?"

"Go door to door, evacuate everyone." Xuan Tianshe heaved a sigh, his eyes closed and opened again, his dark pupils were already filled with firmness, "Although it is dangerous to do this in the rainstorm, but we have to go door to door Go and inform, no one can be left behind!"

But Han Jue's tone was tinged with iciness, and he stabbed Xuan Tianshe's heart coldly and painfully, "However, there are tens of thousands of people in Xuan'an City who are notified door to door, how can you guarantee that they are all willing to go with you? This is their root, if they are not fully sure, who would choose to leave their hometown and flee with you?"

Xuan Tianshe was silent.

Yes, who would leave their home because of what a city lord who has just been in office for three years said?He didn't even know if he had hidden evil intentions and deliberately moved them out of the city.If he rescued them out of the city without breaking the embankment, then he was harboring evil intentions; but if he left without being rescued, he would lose all living beings and only care about his own interests.

This is an endless loop no matter what, no matter what, you are the bad guy yourself.

Xuan Tianshe even had a little impulsiveness, and when the people of Xuan'an City fled out of the city, he used his spiritual power to damage the embankment.As if it was caused by the impact of the torrential rain, at least one's reputation can be preserved.

But he can't do this, no matter how he calculates, he can't use the lives of many innocent people as bargaining chips.After all, if not everyone is willing to trust him, there must be some who are unwilling to leave, and he cannot harm others.

Xuan Tianshe felt like a contradictory body, on the one hand, he hoped that he could get all the people out to see him become famous in the world, on the other hand, he hoped that his worries were unnecessary, that the rainstorm would immediately stop and the sky would clear up.

But how could Lightning and Thunder be willing to give him this chance, it just wet the sleeves of his shirt for nothing.Xuan Tianshe saw that the hem of his blue clothes had been soaked and darkened by the water, he moved a few steps slightly, but Han Jue grabbed his sleeve with quick eyes and hands.

It turned out that he paced a few steps because of thinking, and now he was almost at the distance to slide down the dam.Fortunately, Han Jue caught him, so that he didn't fall into the rushing river.

The frightening scene made Han Jue's heart stop for a moment, but luckily he was pulled back.

Xuan Tianshe hadn't reacted yet, but he was already astonished like the rest of his life after a catastrophe.With a loose oil-paper umbrella in his hand, he fell into the river and rushed away with the rushing waves.

His expression remained on his face until Han Jue's umbrella was lifted up to his head, and he stopped on the road where he was drenched to the ground.

With a little anger on Han Jue's face, he just cursed, "What are you doing! No matter how dazed you are, you shouldn't pay attention to your position. If I wasn't by your side, you would have fallen. Do you think you are a soul? So what about Xiu, how do you fight against natural disasters, how do you fight against this destiny?!"

Xuan Tianshe suddenly became enlightened, he suddenly understood that this natural disaster is not something ants like them can face directly.But as long as he tried his best to help the people of Xuan'an City, he could be regarded as accumulating virtue for himself.

He walked side by side with Han Jue under the same umbrella, shoulders touching each other, but Han Jue still tilted most of the umbrella to himself.Most of the body is exposed to the rain, which makes people feel cool even in summer.

Xuan Tianshe pushed the umbrella to the side, and followed others to get closer.

His body temperature was much higher than Han Jue's, and Han Jue was a little caught off guard by the instant approach, but the temperature made Han Jue a little happy.Han Jue calmly held the handle of the umbrella, just pretending that he didn't see or hear it.

The two of them held an umbrella in such silence and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, when they heard those officials, businessmen and merchants who were left as hostages by Xuan Tian's amnesty started to make a fuss.I don't know if they were clamoring to punish the servants in his house because they knew that Xuan Tianshe was not in the house at this time.

Xuan Tianshe looked at this group of troublemakers, and suddenly thought about it, he just pouted at the guards who dared to stop but dared not pull them, and motioned them to let go of them.He looked at these people in front of him with a smile, and only after laughing so hard that their scalps went numb for a while, Xuan Tianshe slowly opened his mouth.

"Actually, I've trapped everyone here not entirely to make you pay for your work." He pretended to be embarrassed, and sighed, "Actually, I found a big problem. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't go out in the heavy rain Probing."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to speak, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.Boss Zhao, who had already suffered a wave of squeeze yesterday, couldn't hold back his temper and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that someone opened his mouth first, Xuan Tianshe stopped keeping it open.He only asked, "Everyone knows that there is a moat outside our Xuan'an City, right?"

Seeing the sighs below, he continued, "Where there is a moat, there is an embankment. I was terrified before, but just now I went to the bank for a walk, and it really happened as I expected."

"Oh, hurry up, City Lord Xuan, you are really hanging on to our lives!" Boss Zhao said with a wrinkled face as he slapped his thigh.

"The embankment on the river bank has a small opening, and water is overflowing. What does this mean?" Xuan Tianshe glanced at the people in front of him, and seeing that they all showed expressions of surprise and panic, he continued with satisfaction, " It means that if the torrential rain falls for a few more days, the river embankment may collapse directly, and our Xuan'an City will be flooded as a result."

He made two casual gestures, which made everyone's hearts even colder.The crowd pushed and shoved, but no one dared to speak now.

Xuan Tianshe took the handkerchief handed over by the boy at the side, and carefully wiped the water stains on his face and body.It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him at all, he was just a bystander.

After Xuan Tianshe leisurely wiped off the water stains, he continued, "I want all of you here to be the first soldiers to tidy up your home and leave the city first to avoid disaster. I just don't know what you think?"

Everyone was naturally willing to hear it, but one or two thought about it for a moment, only thinking that Xuan Tian's amnesty was alarmist and exaggerated the matter to make them panic.

As soon as Xuan Tianshe opened his mouth, Han Jue already guessed what he wanted to do.He wanted these people to be the first soldiers, and left the city with great fanfare. When the people saw that these businessmen and rich men ran away with their families, he naturally figured it out.

He stood quietly aside without saying a word, just watching how this matter would develop.

Xuan Tianshe found a chair in the hall and sat down. He was almost drenched because he lost his umbrella, and he could feel the wetness on his clothes when he leaned on the back of the chair, but he just sat in the right position. Slanted, with a little romantic charm.

He propped his head up, lowered his eyes and glanced at the whispering crowd.It seems that this is not preparing to save their lives, but just asking them to discuss where to go for fun tomorrow.

But although Xuan Tianshe was like this on the surface, he was also a little uneasy in his heart.These people are almost all businessmen, and businessmen put their interests first, and letting them leave Xuan'an City, their base, will cause them to lose far more than what Xuan Tianshe asked them for before.

Sure enough, someone said, "City Master Xuan is probably serious. I see that the sky is getting brighter, and the rain will stop soon, right? What's more, the embankment has never had any accidents for so many years. A small rainstorm is nothing to be afraid of." .”

Fortunately, Xuan Tianshe had already thought of the words to deal with it.
