Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

That night, not only Ying Zheng, but also countless ministers learned the news of rain in Longxi, and they all cheered.

"Great! With this heavy rain, Longxi will no longer have to worry about drought! It comes at the perfect time! God bless our Great Qin!"

They looked at Xianyang in the rainstorm excitedly, their hearts filled with incomparable joy.

However, in this carnival, only Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were extremely confused and dazed.

"What's going on? Why is it raining all of a sudden? And it's raining so hard?!"

They were filled with doubts and confusion.

They had just discussed with His Majesty the matter of digging a canal, but then heavy rain came pouring down, leaving them in a state of confusion.

They looked at each other, all hoping that the heavy rain would stop soon.

However, what made them despair was that the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.

……

Dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.

Above Xianyang and Longxi, endless rain poured down, moistening the dry land.

In Xianyang City, Ying Zheng and many officials were all extremely excited and looked at the coming of the heavy rain with joy.

In a mansion not too far from the city center, there was also a figure who was extremely excited, almost crazy with excitement.

"Success! Hahaha! I actually succeeded! Is this what it means to pray for rain? Is this the true supreme alchemist with celestial powers?"

he shouted, his heart filled with immense joy and excitement.

He felt the majestic fluctuations of the formation and knew that it was all due to his own efforts.

He looked forward to the Master's praise and recognition, his heart filled with immense anticipation and longing.

However, what surprised Xu Fu was that no matter how he tried various formulas and formations, they were of no effect!
Moreover, as the number of experiments increased, the already thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body gradually dried up!

And for some unknown reason, the heavy rain outside not only showed no signs of weakening, but became even more severe!
‘Crack! ’

Heavy rain poured down and thunder roared!
Feeling the heavy rain outside, the rising water level, and the gradual depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cold sweat began to seep out of Xu Fu's forehead.

He thought to himself, "Oh no!", how can I close this formation?

He was at a loss.

The heavy rain did not stop as Xu Fu, Hu Hai, Li Si and others had expected. Instead, it got heavier and heavier amid thunder and strong winds.

Overnight, the entire Xianyang was thoroughly nourished!
Later, someone measured it and found that the amount of rainfall that night even exceeded the total rainfall in Xianyang in half a year!

At the morning court the next day, countless officials in Xianyang looked at the heavy rain in the sky and smiled rarely.

"What good rain, what good rain! Hahaha!" They all exclaimed in admiration.

At the morning court session the next day, all the ministers were extremely happy, even Ying Zheng showed a long-lost smile, and the atmosphere was harmonious and kind to the extreme!
Except for Hu Hai and Zhao Gao who looked unhappy, everyone was rejoicing about the coming of the heavy rain!
This rainstorm finally solved the drought in Longxi completely!
However, after the previous experience, no minister took the initiative to say that it was because of Ying Zheng. Instead, they all conservatively said that it was God's blessing on Xianyang.

Even so, the whole Xianyang is still immersed in a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

It was pouring rain, but every official had a kind smile on his face.

The heavy rain did not stop on the second day, completely alleviating the drought.

However, when the third day came, the heavy rain still did not stop.

Although it was somewhat unexpected and a lot of water accumulated in the city, many ministers still did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

The atmosphere during the morning court session was still friendly and cheerful.

However, something was wrong with the atmosphere that evening.

Because of the heavy rain that lasted for two days and three nights, large areas of water accumulated in many places in Xianyang City, and many people's homesteads were flooded.

This made Ying Zheng frown. "Heavy rain is good, but why is it still raining? Is it too much? Why doesn't it stop?"

He was full of doubts.

Compared with the excitement of the officials in Xianyang, the people in Longxi were even more excited.

Although the previous heavy rain alleviated a lot of the disaster, it was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Now, with the arrival of the second heavy rain, the drought in the entire Longxi has been completely alleviated!

It rained heavily for three days and three nights!
It brought a complete relief to Longxi, which was almost completely dry!

It was like a man who had been thirsty for dozens of days finally drank some water.

Under this heavy rain, all things are growing!

The originally dry riverbed gradually gathered river water, water began to flow up from the dried-up wellheads, and the dead forest came back to life with flowers blooming.

The most important thing is that the young seedlings and crops that were about to die of drought, after being baptized by this rainstorm, they blossomed with unprecedented vitality. Instead of being crushed by the rainstorm, they straightened their backs and sprouted branches.

Seeing this scene, countless people in Longxi were completely moved. They knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, kissed the ground, and murmured unknown prayer words.

There were also some unruly people who came to the ridges of the fields laughing loudly, and they couldn't stop smiling as they looked at the young crops in the heavy rain!
"There's food! There's food! It's a blessing from heaven! After this rain, we don't have to worry about being hungry anymore!" They cheered.

Three days and three nights of heavy rain completely alleviated the severe drought in Longxi, and also completely bankrupted the idea of ​​the remnants of the six kingdoms to restore their country!
Even Meng Tian, ​​who had been busy hunting down the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Longxi these days, breathed a sigh of relief!
“It’s really a timely rain.”

He sat in the tent, looking at the heavy rain outside and said with a smile.

"If it hadn't been for this timely rain, who knows what kind of chaos Longxi would have been in."

The assistant officer beside him also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I'm afraid the celebration banquet has already started in Xianyang City by now?" he guessed.

"Some time ago there were rumors that they would release prisoners to dig a canal, or temporarily abandon the construction of the Great Wall. Either of these two is an extremely inappropriate move."

"But it seems there is no need to worry now." Meng Tian also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"That's true. But we can't let our guard down. We need to continue hunting down the remnants of the six nations. We need to kill every one of these guys we catch!"

He ordered firmly.

"Yes!"

The subordinates responded in unison.

The heavy rain pours down, and all things come back to life!
Except for a few people who were extremely angry about the rain, the rest of the people were extremely happy about it!

The rivers continued to flow and revived. By the fourth day of the heavy rain, the drought in Longxi had completely disappeared.

Various streams have returned to normal water levels, and the Yellow River is flowing continuously. One can imagine how heavy the rainfall has been in the past four days!

Countless people were delighted to see this scene, because there was water in the rivers and in the wells, which meant that they could live in peace in the next few months or even half a year!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" "Thank you, God!"

They cheered and rejoiced, and even in many places where the disaster was severe, every household gathered together and held banquet after banquet to celebrate the arrival of this timely rain.

However, this cheerful atmosphere did not last long.
After the heavy rain on the fourth day, on the fifth day, the sky was still pouring down endless raindrops.

At this time, the rainwater in Longxi had reached saturation, and even the underground rivers that had long been dried up were refilled.

Water began to accumulate in low-lying areas. However, the people did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

They just felt that there was a little too much rain. Perhaps it was because Lei Gong and Dian Mu had been storing up rain for too long and it was now pouring down all at once, which was still acceptable.

However, when on the sixth day, the sky in Longxi was still covered with dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down, people began to feel uneasy.

As the rainfall continued to increase, the water level began to rise and some rivers showed signs of flooding.

Despite this, people are still not too panicked, believing that the heavy rain will definitely stop tomorrow.

However, when the seventh day arrived, people in Longxi began to get anxious when they saw the sky still covered with dark clouds, heavy rain and thunder.

They discussed one after another: "Isn't the rain a bit too much? It has been raining for seven days. Isn't it time to stop?"

However, on the eighth day, the people of Longxi were completely stunned!
Heavy rains continue and water levels continue to rise. Cities and villages in low-lying areas have begun to suffer from floods, which have even reached their knees.

The surrounding rivers also began to overflow, and the raging floods ravaged everything.

Seeing this scene, the people of Longxi were panicked.

They all exclaimed, "It was extremely dry a few days ago, without a drop of water, and the seeds were almost dying of drought! What's going on now? Why has it been raining for eight consecutive days? Is this still the river that has been dry for several months? Now it is about to flood!"

At this time, not only Longxi, but also Zhongche County not far away was hit by heavy rain.

Unlike Longxi, Zhongche County did not experience a long period of drought, so faced with the sudden rainstorm, floods broke out instantly.

The raging floods spread everywhere. Although the waterways were fully supplying Longxi downstream, Zhongche County still faced a grim situation.

Large areas of land were covered by floods, and farmland was trembling under the invasion of floods and could be completely destroyed at any time.

The officials in Xianyang city were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

They all exclaimed: "What's going on? How come we just solved the drought and now there's flood? Has Xianyang offended God this year?"

They couldn't understand why the drought was followed by floods. The sudden rainstorm caught everyone off guard.

In the main palace of Xianyang, Ying Zheng stood on the high platform angrily and asked angrily: "Who can tell me what is going on? Why is there a flood again after the drought is over?!"

His voice echoed in the hall, and the only sound in the air was the crackling of raindrops hitting bricks and tiles.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads and dared not speak.

They couldn't explain this scene either. Who could have thought that the original drought would suddenly turn into a flood?

The heavy rain caused a disaster in just a few days. Countless rivers were on the verge of collapse and countless people fled in panic.

Faced with this sudden disaster, all the ministers were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

Li Si also frowned, not knowing how to respond.

Ying Zheng on the stage also understood that it was useless to vent his anger on these ministers, so he took a deep breath and began to discuss with them how to deal with the flood.

Although he was extremely anxious, he was helpless in the face of this sudden disaster.

Drought can be dealt with by digging ditches, but what about floods? What can be done with the extra water?
After the discussion failed, Ying Zheng returned to his study with a grim look on his face, pressing his forehead as he pondered over a solution.

However, no matter what solutions he proposed, he would eventually reject them one by one.

He sighed helplessly: "Flood, flood... How can we solve this problem?"

This really touched his blind spot and made him feel extremely difficult.

He was good at analyzing the world situation, the struggle for hegemony among the six countries, and the experience of emperors, but faced with this sudden flood, he was helpless.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng still couldn't come up with any good solution.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from Heibingtai.

"His Majesty."

"Come in."

Ying Zheng's voice came from the study.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open.

The soaked Black Ice Terrace guard leader, wearing armor, did not step into the study. Instead, he knelt in the heavy rain and reported respectfully:
"Your Majesty. Today, the Master's place remains peaceful and calm."

"He seems to have been practicing in his room. Even the food was placed outside the backyard door by the maid."

Ying Zheng's originally irritable mood was slightly relieved when he heard Heibingtai mention Yang Ling.

He rubbed his brows gently and ordered:

"I understand. If you need anything, please report to me immediately."

Taking a deep breath, Ying Zheng tried to calm down and continued to ask:

"Besides that, have any ministers noticed the existence of the master?"

The guard commander shook his head and replied:
"Your Majesty, no minister or official has discovered the whereabouts of the master. All the spies have been dealt with by our people."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He didn't want anyone in the court to disturb the master. This was both a respect for the master and a gesture of goodwill.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng thought of someone. He picked up a disaster report from Zhongche County and asked casually:

"How is Xu Fu doing lately?"

"Xu Fu?" The guard leader hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with Xu Fu in the past few days."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately became interested and asked:

"tell me the story."

The commander of the Black Ice Platform replied respectfully:
"Since the day when he failed to seek a teacher, Xu Fu has been staying in the room and has not come out. We sent a guard to take a look and found that he seemed to have been sitting in the room, and no one knew what he was doing."

The commander of the Black Ice Platform did not take Xu Fu's surveillance too seriously.

In his opinion, Xu Fu was just a charlatan with good luck, and was not worthy of his attention. (End of this chapter)
