By the afternoon, fleets of boats were arriving one after another.

There are three branches: Qin, Han, and Song, but the leader seems not to have come, and Liu Xianglian has no chance to see him.

When the embankment burst, Tang Hu led his masters to hold together trees, millstones, and heavy sand, and the flood began to slowly recede.

The people repaired their houses individually.

When Liu Xianglian led people to promote the 15th day of this month, the Duiliu City *** would be held in Yangzhou City, which was even 20% cheaper than before, adding a touch of joy to this desolate and lonely atmosphere.

"Liu Xianglian, Boss Tang is really a good person!"

Xiaocui sighed: "I remember that there was a flood in Jinling one year, and it took the court more than two months to provide disaster relief. I don't know how many people died.

None of those rich bureaucrats can do anything!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Liu Xianglian also marveled: "What the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment, with food and clothing. It is so difficult, and the imperial court is not as good as the local heroes. Let's go and visit this different Duiliu City."

By the afternoon, both sides of the Qinhuai River were already filled with small vendors, both from other places and from Yangzhou. They were so diverse and dazzling.

"Boss, how do you sell this Sun Wukong?"

"Mr. Liu, if someone else is the three eldest sons, if you want it, just take it!"

"Really? Then bring me this, this, and this."

Liu Xianglian ordered four or five noodle dolls at once, and the stall owner almost turned into a bitter melon face.

Liu Xianglian chuckled and said: "Take it, you are a small business, sir, I will still shortchange your money."

Taking the colorful puppet, Liu Xianglian handed it to Xiao Cui.

"Who cares? It's childish."

Xiaocui said she was disgusted, but her hands were not slow, she took it and couldn't put it down.

"I don't know who it is, my eyes almost popped out just now."

"How can there be..."

Liu Xianglian and Xiao Cui walked around the market. After a brief stroll, they lost interest.

Many people were still cheerful along the way, and the heavy rain brought too much pain to people.

Even if you can buy some daily necessities at a cheap price, it still cannot offset the pain in your heart.

"Xiao Cui..."

"Stop talking."

Xiaocui's eyes widened: "I know what you want to say, but please stop saying it. If you really want to do something for the people, you should work hard yourself instead of using my lady's pocket to do your own things.

Like this, I even look down on you!"

"I……"

"What are you doing? I know you are a good person and have a kind heart. I am not against you doing good deeds. At least you are doing it on your own terms, right?"

In this way, my lady can look up to you.

Look at Mr. Tang, he is as successful in literature as an official in the court, and as successful in military affairs as guarding the border.

You have no talent and knowledge, but now you are acting as a Golden Dragon Guard and a minion of the imperial court. How can my young lady think so highly of you?"

"Kuai her..."

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? You are not worthy of my lady anyway."

Xiaocui turned around angrily. She didn't understand why she was so angry with Liu Xianglian.

I just feel that Liu Xianglian obviously has a lot of talent, but he has always been careless and muddle along with everything. It is clear that his lady likes him so much, but he refuses to take a step forward.

A seven-foot tall man is worse than a woman. What’s the use of being a Golden Dragon Guard?

"Xiao Cui, thank you!"

Liu Xianglian said solemnly: "I understand.

How much money do you have now, can you lend it to me?"

"Give!"

Xiao Cui took out three to five taels of silver from her purse and threw it on Liu Xianglian: "Help these people, my lady will naturally be moved. There is no need for you to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha! I'm going back to Jinling, you should take care of yourself first!"

After Xiaocui finished speaking, her head

If you don't want to go back, go to the pier.

Before Liu Xianglian came, she said a few words about safety and so on. A group of people walked out of the crowd and guarded Xiaocui.

"Too!"

Liu Xianglian chuckled: "How can the eldest maid of the eldest daughter of the Zhen family not have someone to protect her by her side!?"

It can only be said that these people were really well hidden. They blended in among the crowd and even Liu Xianglian didn't notice them.

"Hahaha, Brother Liu, why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? Since this girl just walked away, why don't I take you to a good place tonight?"

Tang Hu didn't know when he came to Liu Xianglian.

Seeing his misunderstanding, Liu Xianglian did not explain for the purpose of protecting Xiaocui: "Brother Tang, we just have some minor differences. The people of Yangzhou have suffered a disaster, and she went back to her parents' home to ask for some support."

"Hahaha, Mr. Liu is benevolent and righteous, and his peach blossoms are also flourishing!"

"What is benevolence and righteousness?"

Liu Xianglian smiled bitterly and said, "Just now I was criticized for not using my wealth to help the people."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tang Hu laughed loudly: "The sage said, only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Women's thoughts are always complex and numerous. Why don't you, brother, be like me? You can be free and happy alone, but if you gather a group of brothers together, you will be as happy as a god."

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "If there is a next life, I will definitely follow Brother Tang's advice, but I have fallen too deep in this life and can no longer extricate myself."

Tang Hu and Liu Xianglian walked arm-in-arm along the Qinhuai River.

When the lanterns first came on, several flower boats had already arrived on the river bank.

"Looks like we don't have to come tomorrow."

Tang Hu looked at the flower boats on the river and said with emotion.

"Why?"

Liu Xianglian was puzzled.

"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, the flower boat has come out, so naturally the disaster relief team representing the imperial court will also arrive in Yangzhou.

Although what we have done is a righteous deed, we have violated the taboos of the imperial court, and if we stay here, we may suffer from right and wrong."

Liu Xianglian said in surprise: "I thought..."

"You still think I'm a muscle-headed idiot?

Don’t you understand the hidden dangers of my Duiliu City and what I’m doing now?”

Tiger of the Tang Dynasty looked up to the sky and roared: "The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. The world will rise and fall, and the people will suffer.

How could I not know this? Those in the temples have the most vicious hearts, but the people are innocent. The relationship between us in Duiliucheng and the people in Jiangnan is like fish and water, complementing each other.

If they suffer a disaster, I, Duiliu City, will not have a hard time either."

"Brother Tang is a great talent!"

Liu Xianglian praised: "How can the whole world not be in a situation where everyone is prosperous?

But not many people see through it."

"Hey, let's just live our own lives and not worry about that much."

"Eh? Where are Brother Tang and Brother Ming?"

"he?"

Tang Hu smiled and said, "I heard that his men have opened a sea route to Fusang in recent days. They are preparing to go and occupy Yinshan. They have already taken people back."

hiss……!

Liu Xianglian was shocked and said: "Yinshan?"

"good!"

Tang Hu said carelessly: "Although Fusang is a small country with few people, it really has a silver mountain. Not only did Ming Hu go, but my brother Song also went with him.

If I didn’t have a sea-going ship, I would have taken a share of the pie.”

"Brother Tang, let's go, everyone has their destiny."

Liu Xianglian's men had all returned. Tang Hu invited Liu Xianglian to return to Duiliu City first, and Liu Xianglian went happily.
