Heroes in the Three Kingdoms

Madame Jiang and Xiao Ying's mother came over to the side of Xiao Ying and I after hearing the noise. Seeing Xiao Ying and I like this, the two of them knew that it was useless to say anything now. Let Xiao Ying calm down! " "But, but …" I haven't given up yet. The Madame Jiang pulled me forcefully as I walked outside. My body seemed to have lost its soul as it followed the Madame Jiang's pull and moved forward. But Xiao Ying's mother was comforting her daughter.

When we arrived at the door of the room, the Madame Jiang closed it and asked me: "Li, are you fooling around with Liu Yan's daughter?" When I heard this, my heart violently shook. How could I speak of the bitterness in my heart? I was silent. The Madame Jiang's face became sullen, he asked me: "Speak, what's wrong with Xiao Ying? Why are you fooling around with a fox spirit outside!? "Tell me!" "I …" I hesitated to speak. Madame Jiang was anxious: "Tell me! "Stand up!"

"Ai!" I sighed and tried to defend myself: "I wasn't fooling around with Liu Lin! I just drank and didn't know anything. When I woke up the next morning, I found out that I was sleeping with her! Just as I was about to leave, Liu Yan's group suddenly appeared in front of me. I really don't know if anything happened between me and Liu Lin last night! I have no impression of it! Mother, you have to believe me! What I said was all true! "

As I said that, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. I held the Madame Jiang tightly in my hands and shook her. My sincere eyes revealed that I wanted to plead for her trust. Good! Good! I believe you! But, even you want Xiao Ying to believe you! Didn't you say last night that you had never loved Xiao Ying? You didn't know that Xiao Ying had secretly seen you and Liu Lin getting along well last night, and she was so angry! " The Madame Jiang looked at me worriedly.

"What?" I say, I have never loved Xiao Ying? "That's impossible!" I almost went crazy and shouted, not knowing if my shouts could be heard by Xiao Ying who was in the room. I loved her so much that I couldn't say such words! "Even if you are drunk!" Sigh! "Stand up!" Madame Jiang shook his head helplessly.

The Madame Jiang then said: "It, it is because Xiao Ying loves you too much that she is afraid of losing you, hence she has this kind of reaction! I think it's best if you don't meet Xiao Ying for the time being! After all, when a person was angry, it was very easy to lose their mind and do something that went against one's own heart! For you, and also for Xiao Ying, it's something that you two can forget about in the future! "Stand, just endure for a while!"

The Madame Jiang's words kept on echoing in my head. I kept thinking about it, thinking about it, and thinking about everything that Xiao Ying had done to me. I couldn't help but sigh, because it was the only way left to go about it!

Xiao Ying and I will sleep separately. At night, my heart is extremely annoyed, and I can only drink from cup after cup of wine. " Fourth brother! Don't drink any more! It's even more worrisome to use this wine to dispel your worries! " Li Xiong, Chen Zhi and Zhang Tie came to comfort me after hearing this news.

I just want to anesthetize myself with the help of the wine. I continued to drink by myself. Li Xiong and the rest knew the worries in my heart, but they could not do anything about it.

Chen Zhi said: "Fourth brother, I actually don't know what happened last night! After I drank a little, I felt drunk and my mind was not that clear. As for what happened last night, I did not know! Sigh! It's all my fault! " Li Xiong and Zhang Tie helplessly shook their heads after hearing what she said. As for me, I continued to drink my wine in big gulps. Heh! Even if he died from drinking, at least he wouldn't be able to wake up to the pain of Xiao Ying's misunderstanding!

The heavens always seemed to be opposing the suffering people. After the flood had passed, there was no rain. With the arrival of drought, a poor harvest was inevitable.

Kong Rong reported to me: "During these two months of high temperatures, the sun has always shone brightly, roasting people until they become dried meat. The river was drying up, and some of the rivers had been cut off. The water level was falling, the reservoirs were drying up, the fields were breaking up, and the crops were dying. Drinking water has become difficult in many places. The people complained. "This drought has covered our entire territory, bringing the total number of victims to eight hundred thousand, more than two hundred of whom have died!"

I paced back and forth as I listened to the report, unable to calm my heart for even a moment, "Our Jiao Prefecture only had a population of over a million at the end of the Han Dynasty, and due to the war's rapid decline in population, I have now occupied Changsha, Gui Yang and other Jingzhou. Together with the entire Jiao Prefecture, we now have around a million people. Sigh! As the saying goes, 'Flood is the same line, drought is a large area'. A gradual, protracted disaster, at first of low intensity, so that its arrival is not immediately felt, but the area of influence is large, the duration is long, and the severity is increasing day by day. Particularly severe droughts affect a wide range of areas, and the losses are more severe than floods. Then something more frightening than a flood happened! Sigh! There was a strong enemy on the outside, but there was a natural disaster today. Oh god! How can you not pity the common people in troubled times? "

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Zhi said, "Fourth brother, drought requires people to leave their homes and seek refuge together. However, the officials would find it difficult to collect taxes and it would also place a hidden danger on the order of the law and order. Furthermore, if they want to resume production, they would have to recruit more refugees. So I have to think of a good way to prevent the refugees from getting up all over the place! " I sighed and said, "Second Brother, I understand! The people have nothing to eat, so it's impossible to tax them! They could only accept them free of charge! "Sigh!"

Chen Zhi nodded his head and said: "I think so too. The important thing is to gather and distribute the food to the victims, as long as they have food, they will not leave their hometown. We have a lot of lakes in the south, and even if some of the rivers are dried up, they should be able to go get water! However, we need to prepare a lot of vehicles and horses, and we don't have much food left. The treasury is completely used up from the last flood! We bought a lot of food from Yangzhou, Yizhou, Founan and many others. Right now, we don't have much to sell there! "Sigh!"

"Ai!" I let out a long sigh and placed my left hand on my forehead. My head was lowered, troubled by the current situation. I racked my brains, but couldn't come up with a solution to the current predicament. Then I thought of a man. I looked up at him and asked in a pleading tone, "Zi Hong, is there any good way to help me?"

"Helpless, Zhou Zheng shook his head. He was at a loss as to what to do." "Sigh!" I was already completely in despair. I looked at everyone and asked again, "Is there any good way to get through this crisis?" Everyone fell silent. I could only sigh helplessly.

Chen Zhi forced a smile and comforted me, "Fourth Brother, our southern region is different from the Central Plains. With regards to drought, we have many lakes, so the severity of the disaster is naturally much lesser than the Central Plains and others! Moreover, when Mr. Ma Jun was building the reservoir back then, he had used it up. Although many of the reservoirs were dried up, they were not all there! He was not at the end of his rope! There is not enough water in the reservoir. We can get horses to pull water from the lakes and rivers to give to the people. We will definitely be able to get through this! "

Chen Zhi's words caused my mood to improve a lot. I smiled as I looked around the crowd and said: "Alright! "Just do as second brother says!"

After the group left, I sighed. After a month had passed, Xiao Ying still ignored me, and even Cheng Er did not let me touch him, my mood had always been annoyed. Furthermore, I have been worrying too much recently, too much!

Guan Hai, who was at the side, asked, "Master, are you still upset about the drought?" Sigh! Not only that, what I am most worried about is Xiao Ying and Cheng Er, what do I need to do to calm Xiao Ying down? "Sigh!" I shook my head and sighed.

Seeing my disappointing appearance, Guan Hai was not angry at all. His voice grew louder as he said, "My lord, I hope that you can become an unparalleled hero. You are invincible on the battlefield, why are you afraid of women now? Women like clothes, do not like it or wear it for too long then don't wear it, change it! What was there to worry about! What's more, Madam has overstepped her boundaries. Why wouldn't she go visit Second Young Master instead? Second Young Master is your son! "Unless, as the rumors say …" Guan Hai looked panicked, he was regretting his words.
