My Lord, Help!

The steward wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Lord, please calm down. It's not just your city lord's mansion that's gone; our entire Suiyuan City is gone."

The city lord picked at his ear and said, "No, say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

The steward stammered, "Our entire Suiyuan City is gone."

The city lord ran straight into the street, and was dumbfounded by what he saw.

The entire Suiyuan City was deserted; there was nothing on the streets except for people.

He shouted loudly:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. We have 100,000 troops stationed in the city, and so many civilians."

How could they all have disappeared overnight?

All the houses, restaurants, brothels, and teahouses in the entire city were gone.

Everyone gathered around and asked, "Lord, what should we do now?"

The city lord's lips twitched, and he immediately fainted.

When he woke up, the first thing he did was naturally to find help.

He went straight to the governor, sobbing and crying, "My lord, help! My city is gone! My city is gone!"

The governor frowned and said, "What do you mean your city is gone? Could it be that the Great Xia army has attacked?"

The city lord, on the verge of tears, said:

"It would be good if the troops of the Great Xia attacked."

The current situation is that everything in the entire city has disappeared; the city walls are gone, as are the restaurants, shops, and buildings.

Even my city lord's mansion has vanished without a trace.

The governor frowned and said, "Such a thing happened? That can't be! Suiyuan City is heavily guarded, how could something like this happen?"

The city lord smiled wryly and said, "Who knows?"

The governor looked at his subordinates beside him and said:

"Send someone to investigate. I'd like to see who has such ability."

They managed to empty an entire city overnight.

The governor's men were all dispatched, and sure enough, the situation was almost exactly as the city lord had described.

Everything was gone overnight.

But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find where the city had been moved to.

Chaos reigned in both the Great Qi Kingdom and Yanmen Pass.

When all the people of Yanmen Pass woke up in the morning, they found that all the houses around them had changed.

They used to live in slums, but now they've all been renovated into brick houses, and they're all brand new. Who wouldn't be stunned?

Everyone from Yanmen Pass came out, and looking at everything before them, they said:

Am I dreaming?

"I can't even imagine it, where did this house come from?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the city lord's mansion and said:

Wow... Impressive! Truly impressive!

"Seriously, are all the city lords of the Great Qi this rich?"

Old Scholar Tree led Zhou Wanwan on a stroll through the City Lord's Mansion, saying as they walked:

"Not every city lord is this rich; the main reason is that Suiyuan City has a very good geographical location."

Furthermore, with powerful backers, the city lord naturally lived a relatively comfortable life.

Then we heard the Old Ancestor walk in and say, "Wanwan, many trees are making a fuss and want to see you! Do you want to go and see them?"

Wanwan pointed to her nose and said, "Want to see me?"

"Yes, so many trees, and many of them came from Suiyuan City."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then let them in!"

Those trees were all laden with gold and silver treasures, and many others carried grains, medicinal herbs, cloth, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese...

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "You came all this way, and brought so many good things! How can we accept this?"

The trees looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, we have come to surrender. These are our tokens of gratitude; please accept them."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the gold and silver treasures and said, "Wow, where did all this gold and silver treasure come from?"

The trees quickly said:

Many of them were buried in the ground by the original owners, and some were buried by other previous owners.

We dug all of those things out.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you. What would you like?"

"We don't really want anything in particular, we just want to be with you."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Then I'll transfer some spiritual energy to you! This spiritual energy will be of great benefit to you."

The trees all obeyed obediently. Zhou Wanwan closed her eyes and began to slowly channel her spiritual energy.

The trees were all diligently absorbing the energy, and Lingbao jumped out of Zhou Wanwan's bag, saying, "This feels so good! Ah! I feel so full of energy!"

After a while, Zhou Wanwan finally opened her eyes. The trees were incredibly excited. "It feels so good! It's like floating on a cloud!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"I have transferred spiritual energy to you, but don't use it recklessly."

Don't go out for a stroll during the day if you have nothing to do; you'll scare people.

The trees all nodded.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the city lord's warehouse and was surprised to find it was already full.

She was quite helpless.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zheng Xing'an and asked, "Xing'an, did we distribute porridge today?"

Zheng Xing'an nodded and said:

"We did distribute porridge, but we used more than 800 bags of rice in just one day."

The key issue is that people from outside are still flocking to our city; I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"At this rate, we definitely won't be able to hold on."

"Tell me, how long can we sustain this by just giving out porridge?"

Zheng Xing'an looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Miss, what do we do now?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Of course it's land reclamation!"

But we don't have any water here!

Zhou Wanwan took out a sheepskin map, spread it out, and slowly pondered, "The farthest river from here is the Heaven-Reaching River. How far is it from here again?"

The Old Ancestor said, "More than 300 kilometers."

Zhou Wanwan hissed and said, "That is indeed quite far! But no matter how far, I think we should still bring water from this river; this place is so short of water."

Isn't a drought just a lack of water?

Once the river is dredged and the water is diverted, the drought problem will be naturally solved.

The Old Ancestor said, "This project is incredibly vast, even larger than our previous one."

They had previously dug a river and poured water into Dongshan Prefecture.

Today, Dongshan Prefecture has truly become a land of fish and rice. Although the winters are a bit cold, they have greenhouses, so they are not afraid.

If this were happening at the border, it might not be impossible to do the same.

To get rich, build roads first.

But the current situation is that if you want to get rich, you have to dig a river first.

The Old Ancestor thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, we have quite a few brothers, and we also have a secret weapon, so digging through this waterway should be quite simple."

It will take a while, at least a month or more!

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"I will then channel spiritual energy into them every day, and their speed will increase significantly. The people here are suffering terribly."

I think this matter is urgent, but we also need to determine the route. To determine the route, we need to buy more properties.

"We'll set up this route on our own estate; that will be much more convenient."
