Chapter 265 The Land of Right and Wrong
The heavy rain for several days is not as urgent as it used to be, but the sharp arrow hanging over the heads of Li Ke and Huainan's million souls has not been let go, and the Huai River is like that sharp sword, still ready to fall down at any time The possibility of the intersection of Huai and Si, the embankment of Huai River, is the last hope for the people of Huainan to save their lives.

Before sunrise, Li Ke left the county government office when it was dark, and when the sun was setting and the sky was dark again, Li Ke returned to the county government office from the river embankment.

Although Li Ke is a noble prince, and Yuan Chengfan is in charge of repairing the embankment, Li Ke is not doing everything, he is busy up and down and never stops for a whole day.

It can even be said that since Li Ke was born, except for the time when he was besieged by hungry wolves in the Wild Wolf Valley when he was in Turkic, he has never been so tired as this time.

It was the end of Xu Dynasty when Li Ke returned to the county government office with a group of royal guards.

"My concubine welcomes Your Highness." As soon as Li Kefang entered the gate of the inner courtyard, Xiao Yuexian was already waiting in the inner courtyard, bowing his knees.

"It's getting late, haven't you rested yet?" At the end of the Xu Dynasty, it was already late, if it was left in the past, it was time to rest.But at this time today, Xiao Yuexian was still waiting here, so Li Ke asked.

Xiao Yuexian replied: "His Royal Highness has not returned, how can I sleep on the ground, rather than tossing and falling asleep on the collapsed bed, it is better to wait for His Highness here. When His Highness comes back, I will feel relieved."

Li Ke looked at Xiao Yuexian's concerned face, smiled and said: "The king accepts Xianniang's wishes."

Seeing Li Ke's tired face, Xiao Yuexian said, "This concubine knew that His Royal Highness would have to work hard today. I and Dan'er had already prepared hot water and waited for His Highness to return to the mansion. This matter must be handled by my concubine." Bring hot water, and give His Highness a warm to relieve fatigue."

"So best."

Li Ke listened to Xiao Yuexian's words and nodded in satisfaction.Xiao Yuexian is also a caring person, and he does things meticulously. Li Ke is tired all day, if he can take a hot bath, it will naturally relieve his fatigue the most.

"Your Highness, please wait in the inner room for a while, and I will bring it here." Xiao Yuexian said, then retreated to the firewood room, and brought someone to bring hot water.

Xiao Yuexian went back and forth very quickly, presumably he had already boiled hot water and put it on the fire to warm it up, and it was ready when Li Ke came back.

"Your Highness, the water temperature is still just right, do you need to add some cold water?" Li Ke took off his clothes under Xiao Yuexian's service, and lay in the bathtub. Xiao Yuexian felt that the bucket seemed to be hot, so he asked Li Ke.

Li Ke shook his head and said: "No need, I've been running for a day, and my body is very tired. It's good if the water is a little hot."

"As long as Your Highness likes it." Xiao Yuexian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, put it on Li Ke's strong shoulder, and gently kneaded it.

After a day's exhaustion, lying in the bathtub with a beautiful woman rubbing her shoulders is probably three points more pleasant than the beauty of red sleeves. Li Ke felt the strength and comfort from his shoulders, He let out a long breath, and his tense body relaxed, as if the whole person was floating in the clouds.

"Xian'er, is it safe for you to be alone in the mansion today?" Li Ke asked Xiao Yuexian as he lay comfortably in the bathtub with his arms hanging out, his eyes slightly closed.

Fairy?

When Xiao Yuexian heard Li Ke addressing her, she was taken aback for a moment, Li Ke had never called her so affectionately before.

After a short period of astonishment, Xiao Yuexian began to think quickly. Could it be that Li Ke called her so close just now because of the words he shared weal and woe with Li Ke this morning, or did Li Ke have other thoughts in his heart?
Although Xiao Yuexian was puzzled, she immediately replied: "With His Highness here, I am naturally at ease. Besides, I did not stay in the mansion all day today. I also went to the market before noon to buy some silk and satin. Cloth, thinking about making clothes for His Highness."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Ke asked, "Since you went to the market today, have you ever seen the conditions of the common people? How is the people in Xuyi City?"

Xiao Yuexian replied: "With His Highness personally sitting here, people's hearts are still stable, but now there are rumors everywhere, saying that the river embankment is about to burst, and it may not be a solution after a long time."

Li Ke heard the words, and said: "The rumors in the market, the king has already guessed, but although the king is a prince and holds the power in the southeast, these things are not something that the king can control, the sky is not beautiful, the king is like this No way."

Xiao Yuexian saw that Li Ke's tone seemed helpless, so he asked: "But I don't know what happened to the river embankment, can Huainan survive this calamity?"

Li Ke replied: "The king recruited and mobilized the people in Xuyi. After a day of rush repairs, the river embankment was finally a bit stable, but we will have to wait until tomorrow to know."

Although the river embankment built by Li Ke is stable now, as Yuan Chengfan said before, if it is only Bianshui who broke the embankment, everything is not hopeless, but if the embankment is also broken by one of the four Jishui, the Huaihe River, is determined not to be able to support such a large amount of water. When the time comes, the Huaihe dike will collapse, and the gods will not be able to save it.

Listening to Li Ke's words, Xiao Yuexian felt a trace of intolerance and depression in her heart.

How did Li Ke know that when he was wearing the stars and wearing the moon and leading his men to repair the embankment, in Xuyi City, Zuo Youxian was already looking for an opportunity to deal with Li Ke and destroy the Huaishui embankment in order to cause chaos in the city.

Xiao Yuexian is not a ruthless person who regards human life as trivial. She has a vengeance with Li Tang for killing her father, so she can use all means, but the people in Huainan are innocent. The people were displaced because of her, which is not what she would like to see.

When Xiao Yuexian was thinking about something, Li Ke also felt that the movements in Xiao Yuexian's hands seemed to slow down a bit, only thinking that she was in Xuyi, worried about the water situation in the Huai River, so he asked: "Is the fairy lady doing it for the Huai River?" worry about it?"

Seeing Li Ke's question, Xiao Yuexian also realized that he was a little absent-minded just now, and hurriedly replied: "If the Huai River breaks its embankment, millions of people will suffer. Thinking about it, I feel panicked."

Li Ke stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yuexian's hand, rubbed it lightly for a moment, and said to Xiao Yuexian: "This matter depends on God's will, and this king and the officials in the palace are in charge, so why worry too much."

Xiao Yuexian replied: "This concubine is a girl, how can I have such a heart, I just care about His Highness, Your Highness must not be exhausted."

Hearing Xiao Yuexian's words, Li Ke suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Yuexian, "By the way, you came here with me this time to visit your uncle. Have you ever met them?"

Li Ke's seemingly inadvertent question made Xiao Yuexian a little uneasy. She didn't know what Li Ke meant, but she still replied: "When I went to my uncle's house the day before yesterday, I found that my uncle's house had moved out. Xiruan is also gone, presumably to avoid the flood, she cast herself away from other relatives."

"That's fine, no matter whether the Huai Dike can be defended or not, Xuyi City is a place of right and wrong, so it's fine to leave." Li Ke nodded after hearing this, and in a word, Xiao Yuexian was a little confused.

What is a place of right and wrong? Apart from floods, what else does Li Ke know?
