what?
Yan Lian was bewildered.

But Chu Baihan didn't intend to explain anymore, she held Jing'er's hand, and said to them: "My princess is going back to Li's residence to prepare things first."

After speaking, she quickly left with Jing'er.

"Brother Eight Emperors, what do you mean by what Eight Emperors Sister said?"

Yan Lian really couldn't hold back, he asked Yan Lin curiously.

A faint light flickered in Yan Lin's eyes.

He knows what she is like, it is impossible for her to joke at this time...

Could it be that what she said was true.

Could it be that she knows about the world thousands of years later?
"Keep an eye on the people from the Wanting Society." Yan Lin didn't talk to Yan Lian, he got on his horse and walked away.

……

late at night.

Chu Baihan asked Nan Xing to use two big boxes to carry things out of Li's residence.

"My king will accompany you."

At this moment, Yan Lin's deep voice came from behind her.

Her eyelids twitched slightly.

Turning around quickly, she saw Yan Lin right behind her.

And he was still wearing daytime clothes.

Has he been waiting here for a long time?
"No need, the princess can do it herself, you..."

"The situation outside is not right, I will accompany you." Yan Lin said solemnly.

Something's wrong outside?What does it mean?
At this moment, Chu Baihan heard a noise coming from outside.

When she looked outside again, she saw many people surrounding Li's residence, and they still held torches in their hands.

"Princess, princess. If you succeed in praying for rain today, then you will be our living Bodhisattva in the Southwest."

At this moment, Li Shang ran over panting in his official uniform.

"Master Li, you are finally willing to show up. How are you doing with disaster relief these days?" Chu Baihan asked him in a cold voice when he saw him.

Hearing this, Li Shang's expression froze.

He rubbed his nose, and said awkwardly: "The ability of the lower officials is limited, and it's not enough now..."

He originally thought that these things could be easily solved, and he even thought of a way to dig channels to divert water.

But he didn't know that it was so difficult to implement.

Moreover, the people in Jiangnan can't afford to wait.

He had been hiding in Li's mansion before, and people from the Liming Society sent a lot of water every day, so he felt that the disaster was not serious.

Who knows that it will be difficult to deal with it personally.

"Princess, I'm a low-ranking official, so I can't solve the problem of water shortage at the root. But you can do it, princess. Aren't you ready to pray for rain? The plight of Jiangnan will soon be over."

Li Shang said with a smile.

"My princess begging for rain?" Chu Baihan's eyes turned cold.

Who the hell said she could ask for rain?

"That's right, it's spread in the south of the Yangtze River, and the common people say, if you can really make it rain this day, you are a living Bodhisattva." Li Shang continued smiling.

"Who on earth leaked the news?"

A murderous look flashed in Chu Baihan's eyes.

Jiangnan's people's hearts are already uncertain, and she is not fully sure that she can succeed in praying for rain tonight.

If it fails, the morale will be shattered and the hearts of the people will collapse. At that time, the situation will be more serious than if it has not rained for several months.

"The king is still investigating." Yan Lin said in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, Chu Baihan glanced sideways at him.

She only told Yan Lin and Yan Lian about this matter.

"This princess doesn't doubt you." She said quietly.

"Ok?"

Yan Lin looked up at her with a deep and gloomy expression.

"You... are not such people." Taking a deep breath, she said seriously.

So far, I can only bite the bullet and ask for rain.

She gave Nan Xing a look, and then quickly walked out the door.

Seeing this, Yan Lin immediately said anxiously: "No!"

But he was obviously a step slower, and she had already arrived at the door.

At this time, Chu Baihan also found that the people's emotions were not right.

"Pray for the eldest princess to succeed in praying for rain."

The people knelt on the ground one after another. Although they were begging, their tone sounded tough no matter how they heard it.

"Eldest princess, you must succeed in praying for rain, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have dared to offend the gods so boldly last night."

At this moment, a bearded man raised his head and said loudly.

"Offend the gods?" Chu Baihan frowned, looking puzzled.

Yan Lian came back from the street at this time, he quickly ran to Chu Baihan, and said anxiously: "Brother Eight Emperors, these people are crazy."

"what happened?"

"Last night, didn't you go to the ruined temple outside the city with the Eighth Emperor to rescue the Great Emperor? At that time, you searched the temple all over, but the news spread somehow, and everyone said that you went in and violated the law. It's a god."

Yan Lian gritted his teeth.

How could there be such a foolish person?

Chu Baihan also found this rhetoric extremely funny, when did the people in Jiangnan become so ignorant?

But before she could open her mouth, she asked the people to speak up: "Princess, you may not know, because you made such a fuss last night that half of the wells in our city were dry."

"That is, according to the previous speed, there should be several days before so many wells dry up. But last night, many people's water sources were cut off almost overnight. This is not because of offending the gods. How could there be such a weird phenomenon? "

"That's right, the gods must be angry. We didn't worship the gods before. It first caused a rare phenomenon in the south of the Yangtze River, and then dried up our well overnight."

"..."

"That's why I didn't let you come out just now. These common people will blame us for all their faults in the future." Yan Lin said in a deep voice.

Li Shang next to him stroked his beard, and then scolded: "You are really confused, these two are the noble eldest princess and Prince Lin, how can you allow you to question?"

It's okay if he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, it arouses public outrage.

Some people stood up quickly, and then said angrily: "At first, we saw that Lord Lin arrested the members of the Wanting Society, opened wells and reservoirs for us to get water, and we were very grateful to him for coming. But thinking about it now, he is just It is to make up for the mistakes, trying to make up for his disrespect to the gods last night."

"That's right, so what about the prince and princess? We have no water now, and we will all die in a few days. What do we have to be afraid of!"

"That's right, what do we have to be afraid of! Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, even if you cut off our heads today, it will be a dead end anyway!"

"..."

The anger of the people was completely aroused, and they stood up one by one, looking at Chu Baihan and others with a murderous look.

It's really ironic.

Obviously tomorrow, they were still grateful to the Yanlin people.

It really should be said that in times of crisis, human nature will be exposed.

"Return our water source, exchange our water source!"

I don't know who drove the emotions of these people, and then they began to press on Chu Baihan and others step by step.
