The second story of the ancient sword II

Yi pulled back, flipped and flew straight up. Hearing A Ruan's call, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with excitement.No words, just concentrating, a burst of icy rain fell straight down after the blue mist.Before the underworld priest could run far, he was doused from head to toe by the swift and violent icy rain. The icy rain quickly condensed and forced him to freeze.

"Wait a moment, let me take the life of this wicked man first!"

"Yi Ze..." Wu Yi shouted, before he could finish speaking, Yi Ze's fingertips were condensed with blue light, and the more powerful Xuan Bing was about to melt.

"Yi Ze..." Ah Ruan whispered, "Don't kill him, okay?"

"...Forget it, his vitality has been seriously injured, most of his cultivation has been destroyed, and he can no longer harm anyone." Yi Ze hesitated for a while, retracted his fingertips, and jumped onto the wings.He gave Ah Ruan a meaningful look, and then said to Wu Yi, "Thank you Brother Le for your help!"

"Thank you, it wouldn't be such a coincidence if it wasn't for the gluttonous chicken making a fuss and refusing to fly." Wuyi smiled naively, and then his eyes became weird again, "I said, what are you two going to do? Prince Are you chasing the maid?"

"This...it's a long story." Yi Ze said lightly, and stayed on Ah Ruan with expectant eyes.

"Meow meow, as expected of a husband and wife, they speak the same way!"

Yi Ze approached Ah Ruan, held her shoulders, looked at each other for a long time, and then slowly said, "Let me see...does it still hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore." A Ruan raised his eyes, hesitant to speak.

"Yi Ze, sister fairy is being bullied by you, right?" Wu Yi asked with malicious intentions.

"How could I..." Yi Ze smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic, "Brother Le, has he seen such a severe drought?"

"By the way..." Ah Ruan suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "The Taoist priest came down halfway to get water, the river was dry, and he also said...hitting his own foot with a stone..."

"Could it be that he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot?!" Wu Yi hurriedly continued.

"Yes, Xiao Yezi, you are so smart, you can guess right."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Wuyi coughed a few times, "I'm not as smart as some people. Did you see any clues about that Yize?"

"Fly along the waterway and take a look upstream."

Wherever the gluttonous chicken went, it was devastated and the river was cut off.

"There is no water even in the upper reaches. Could it be that the water was released artificially?" Yi Ze frowned, "So, there must be no water available in the current dry season."

"Yize, your deduction is not unreasonable. If you want to know the reason, you can go to the upstream sluice and you will be able to see it." It is no different from a confident face, "I am Yanshi, and the inspection of the sluice is on me Already!"

Driving hurriedly in the dark night, and leaping for a while, finally reached the upstream.The wide gate is hidden among the overlapping trees.

"This lock chamber..." Wuyi scratched his head, "It seems a bit strange."

"What's so weird?" Yi Ze asked.

"Yi Ze, you can see that after the sluice is completed, it will sink a bit. But the sinking seems uneven." Wu Yi tightened the rope around his waist, "I will go down to the river bed again. have a look."

"Little Ye Zi, you have to be careful, the mud under your feet is wet and will be very slippery." Ah Ruan said loudly.

"Brother Le, can this help you? Do you want to clarify more?" Yi Ze raised his palm and condensed a huge ball of ice blue light.

"Well, just right." Wuyi cautiously leaned forward.

Yi Ze and A Ruan were the only ones left on the shore, and they looked at each other for a while.

"Ah Ruan, what are you..." Yi Ze held her shoulders, "I don't believe what you said at all. Your eyes can't fool me. What are you afraid of?"

A Ruan raised his eyes, but said nothing.

"It's so thin, it must be a bit cold?" Yi Ze unbuttoned his coat and carefully put it on A Ruan's shoulders, "Butt it up yourself, it's windy at night."

"Hey, Yize, Yize..." Wuyi shouted loudly, "It is precisely because of the uneven subsidence that the lock chamber and wing walls have tilted. In addition, the inlet and outlet gates show signs of damage!"

"The design of structures such as lock chambers and wing walls is based on the geographical location here, and every year before the flood, the water supervisor will lead the craftsmen to come to overhaul. How can this happen?" Yi Zeruo thought Thinkingly asked, "Brother Le, what's your opinion?"

Wuyi said as he walked towards the shore, panting heavily: "The slope is quite severe... I'm exhausted. The man-made damage is... not complete, but the repair work should be done after the flood season... nothing. People have done it. So before the dry season comes, the water will naturally flow away without anyone noticing..."

"In Brother Le's opinion, it's the Water Superintendent's dereliction of duty."

"Yize, the two of us thought of going together. There are factors of natural disasters, but the inaction of the water governor should be the main reason. Man-made disasters are not all natural disasters."

"Damn it!" Yi Ze's brows were filled with anger, "How many people have no food to eat, and where is the conscience of the governor? If someone ordered him, he would not be so bold!"

"Then should we tell your father and deal with him severely?" It was like untying the rope on his body.

"Find out the reason first, and don't wrong someone because of impulse!"

"Hey, you guys, did you hear..." A Ruan searched for the source of the voice, "It seems...it seems to be the cry of a child, and it is the smallest doll."

"Hmm...it seems to be a little bit." Wuyi put his hands on the pinnae, "It was blown intermittently by the mountain wind. Could it be...someone abandoned their children in this wilderness?"

"The source of the sound seems to come from behind the sluice, let's check up." Yi Ze said with certainty.

As the steps approached, the crying sound became more and more clear, and there was also a woman's soft sobs indistinctly.

"There is a stone chamber here, and the sound comes from here!" Wuyi said, "This stone chamber is used to regulate the sluice."

"The child is crying so hard...Little Ye Zi quickly find a way to open the door."

"The door is sealed, er...it can't be opened!" Wuyi touched the outline of the door, "Stay away from you. It seems that only the hard ones... Hey—the people inside! Try your best lean back into the house—”

Wuyi stepped back a few steps, bent down, the golden light shone, and the power of thunder gushed out!

"Bang—" With a muffled sound, the door was broken open, and a huge cloud of dust was thrown up immediately.I saw two women standing inside, the baby in their arms was already crying and their little faces were flushed.

"At last someone came to save us! We won't starve to death!" The woman holding the child had tears in her eyes.

"Why are you locked up here?" Wuyi stepped forward and touched the child's head, "Some fever."

"This..." The woman holding the child took a few steps back and shook her head fiercely, "Don't force us, we are innocent..."

"The child's illness is important!" Yi Ze injected some fine silver light into the child's body, and the child stopped crying immediately.

"If my guess is correct, you must be the family members of the water governor?" Yi Ze tried to keep his voice as calm as possible.

"He is the current third prince." Wuyi Chaoyi smiled, "You can tell him any grievances you have."

"This... sister?" The woman holding the child glanced at the woman next to her.

"We...we... are indeed the family members of the water governor. This is my concubine and the child who is under one year old." The woman said calmly, "All the blame falls on me alone. I have nothing to do with their mother and child. Relationship. My master, he had no choice but to do it. I’m afraid he’s already on Huangquan Road now..." The woman wept bitterly, and slowly knelt down in front of them.

"Let the sluice be damaged and cause the water to drain, do you know the seriousness of the problem?" Yi Ze didn't intend to help her up.

"The criminal woman knows, but my master did such a rebellious thing under coercion. After the flood season, the master found that the sluice gate was abnormal, and was about to send craftsmen to repair it, but was stopped by the Second Highness. At first, he gave us a lot of money , told the master not to ask about this matter, but the master was determined not to obey. So he sent someone to take us two sisters and this child here, and threatened him with his life... Although he is guilty, there is a reason for the incident."

"Sure enough, he did it!" Yi Ze tried to calm down his emotions, "I can't let you go now, Li Kang is still in Beijing, and will leave tomorrow. I will set up an enchantment here tonight. It's no different. Do you have water and dry food?"

"Okay, eat as much as you don't have much else!" It's like digging out the dry food in the bag generously.

After making arrangements for the women and children, Yi then set off on their way home.

"The reason has been revealed. Let's split up and go back, and make another plan tomorrow." Yi Ze said and locked his eyes tightly on A Ruan, "Stop making trouble, go home."

"But..." Ah Ruan took two steps forward alone, "No, I can't."

"Hey, I said Yi Ze, why do you look so embarrassed every time you meet? Isn't it easy for her not to go with you?" Wu Yi winked at him: "I'm afraid you won't let it go."

"How?"

"If you get knocked out, just carry it back, can't you just carry it back? No, you don't need to hit it." Wuyi bit Yi Ze's ear, "I'll help you. Look, this is the stun fog I just created. It was originally for self-defense. It’s used, I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know...how it will be used on humans...but the fairy sister, she...hey, you won’t know if it works until you try it, look at the trick—”

"Le, Brother Le——ah..." Yi Ze on the opposite side turned green instantly when he saw Wu Yi's movements... I couldn't laugh or cry in my heart, the second half of the sentence you swallowed, could it be that A Ruan is not a human being?But I have to wait for my consent...

"I..." Wuyi looked at Yi Ze's suddenly changed face, and suddenly realized his recklessness, and quickly stuck out his tongue, his head and mouth froze in an instant.

"I... you..." Ah Ruan only felt that he lost control of his consciousness, his eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he fell into Yi Ze's arms.
