At this time, it was not only Li You and Eunuch Hai who stood in the flood on the embankment, but also other eunuchs, soldiers of the guard guards and strong men from the Linghu. If the ancestral tomb was flooded, the eunuchs, as the emperor's slave, would have been sacrificed to the tomb. The guard guards would probably have to be disbanded and distributed, and the loss of the Linghu would be that there would be no discount on money and food in the future.

In the moment of despair, Lord Li died in a shocking dive! Then the flood began to retreat even more shockingly! It was amazing!

Using the superstitious saying of the response of heaven and man, Lord Li was inspired by his unparalleled loyalty and righteousness to conquer the flood?

The guards brought by Li You were all selected. They were familiar with water and had military laws in front of them. At this moment, they naturally went into the water to save people without hesitation. In the torrent, they dragged their struggling boss along the water surface to the embankment.

Li Daren was panting, his whole body was soaked and messy. His official hat was gone for a long time, his hair had been washed away by water, and there were still a few aquatic plants hanging on his shoulders as expected. Although he had no image, he still shouted to his left and right with his majestic body: "I have no face to see the emperor again, what should I do if I save me!"

Unfortunately, these personal guards are all rough people, and they have never read books, so they don’t know how to deal with them loudly and appropriately. They can only hold on to their superiors and persuade them boringly: “Put them to do something for suicide…”

Li You shouted: "The dragon vein of our ancestors was destroyed by my hands. How can those who are ministers live in vain! They should sacrifice their lives for their pride!"

The next old man Hai woke up from the ecstasy of the flood, replied from the shock of the will of heaven, and suddenly heard Li You shouting. Without looking at it, he knew that it was another civil servant trick to show off his loyalty. He spent the first half of his career in the palace, and he had never seen such scenes.

But this time it was so amazing. Even the trick was a god-like trick. Did God deliberately cooperate with him? Wouldn't this become God's will?

With envy and jealousy, Eunuch Hai stepped forward and said to Li You, "Mr. Li, don't talk about life and death easily, the flood has begun to recede!"

After all the calculations, Lord Li was too involved and did not notice the water level after being rescued.

He was immersed in his tragic mood and could not extricate himself. While imagining himself as Zhang Xun who was guarding Suiyang, he was brewing new lines. The sentence of Eunuch Hai seemed to be as thunderous as he heard Li You.

He looked down at him almost incredible, and the top of the dam that had been covered by floods in his eyes gradually revealed...

Li Youzhen didn't expect that Hongshui would retreat at this time, which was a bizarre coincidence. In fact, his original intention was to imitate Zeng Guofan, who had repeatedly defeated and fought in another time and space, and repeatedly dived, and put on the stance of dying for his loyalty and achieving his ambitions to gain the widest range of sympathy and public opinion support for himself.

Then all the responsibilities will be borne by the damn Magistrate Wang. Li You knew that the ancestral tomb was in danger, and knew that the responsibility was at ease, but he still dared to be full of enthusiasm and be brave enough to take responsibility, and came to rescue him without hesitation!

At this time, you cannot be afraid of "the water is too cold", but why did the flood retreat as soon as it jumped, and the flood peak just passed?

Li You didn't care about the surprise, and raised his arms and shouted: "I am blessed by heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and this is the obvious spirit of the ancestor god!"

Do you mean that all the ancestors and gods appear for you? Eunuch Hai complained in his heart, but could only smile and agree.

He is indeed envious, but he does not hate it because Eunuch Hai knew that he could not imitate. Civil servants are civil servants, and eunuchs are eunuchs. They each have their own rules of conduct and their own ways of playing. You, a eunuch, can be a righteous man, but if you want to learn from civil servants and deliberately make a fame, it is purely a seeking death. Don’t forget that the essence of eunuchs is a slave of the emperor.

The water on the embankment receded, and the fire was lit and the fire was burned. Lord Li sat by the fire in disheveled clothes and continued to chat with Eunuch Hai.

The two joined forces to fight with the flood for several days, faced the huge danger of the sky falling and the earth sinking together, and struggled in despair together. They were the so-called sharing of hardships, but the relationship was a little closer, and they spoke casually and no longer guarded against each other everywhere.

"Sir, did you dive after knowing that the water level began to drop, or did you really jump out of the water without hesitation?"

Li You said impatiently: "Have you asked several times? I am not as straightforward as Eunuch Hai, you, so how can you know the truth about the future?"

Don’t say that he really didn’t know in advance, even if he knew in advance that the flood was about to retreat, he would have to answer that he didn’t know, otherwise how would he seem to be loyal and righteous, and the flood retreated? The more eye-catching the aura, the heavier the imperial rewards would be.

But this time it was really dangerous. It felt bad to struggle in despair. He didn't want to have a second time. So cherish his life and stay away from the ancestral tomb. After this flood season, he will never go to Sizhou again in this life. In the future, he will instigate him to come to Sizhou to become an official.

The self-taught water conservancy expert, Eunuch Hai, sighed: "The flood season has just passed halfway. This time it is just a big flood peak that has surpassed the past. I am afraid there will be a new flood peak below..."

Li You quickly looked up at the water in the distance, pointed at Eunuch Hai's nose and scolded: "Shut up!"

He was not a superstitious person, but this time he was really scared and couldn't help but become superstitious, worried that Eunuch Hai would start to use the great prophecy again.

Eunuch Hai also slapped himself in the face and took the initiative to change the topic: "This time, Lord Li will be highly rewarded by the imperial court. The fate of the dragon vein is the second only to Qingtian Baojia. The national dynasty has never been precedent. I am curious about how the imperial court will reward Lords."

"To be honest, I am also very curious." Li You said the truth. It is a very wonderful achievement. It is a great achievement, but not a great achievement like destroying the enemy and destroying the country. It will not cause suspicion and trouble such as high merit, but it must be rewarded heavily.

"I guess it's nothing more than just having a wife and a son, or earning a coupon for a elixir book..."

Li You only thought about these future good things in his heart, but he was cautious and unwilling to discuss them openly, because it not only ruined his image, but also caused trouble. He interrupted Eunuch Hai's discussion and asked, "Isn't it the same for you? I think it's enough to go back to the palace to be a seal eunuch. I don't know which yamen it is."

"I dare not think about it. I have no other wishes. As long as I can leave the ancestral tomb, I will be satisfied."

Li Youqi said: "You are so eager to leave the ancestral tomb? You even do not hesitate to sit idly by the way of Wang Zhizhou doing such a traitor, just to make meritorious and promotion?"

Li You said it very implicitly, but in fact it was Eunuch Hai who indulged or even conspired, not just sitting on the sidelines.

After thinking about it, Eunuch Hai explained: "When the flood broke out five years ago, it wet the ancestral tomb sacred road, but it almost scared my heart and soul. That's why I deliberately read all the hydrological documents of Sizhou in recent decades. Do you know that more than a hundred years ago, Hongze was thirty miles away from Sizhou, so what about now? And in an inconspicuous place, it records that someone measured the water level and depth of the waters of Huaihu Lake in Sizhou decades ago. I was inspired by this and secretly sent someone to measure it again. Compared with decades ago, the result was terrifying."

"At that time, I had a feeling that the ancestral tomb might be flooded by lake water. Even if it is not flooded, it is very likely that water will enter. Once the Xuan Palace has water, I will lose my head. So guarding the ancestral tomb is like waiting for death. It is justified that it will be a good idea to escape early. But others do not think that the ancestral tomb will be submerged. If you do something to prevent it out of caution, it is not a merit. So I had to think about creating some danger and making contributions, but I didn't expect you to penetrate it."

Finally, Eunuch Hai sighed slightly, "Actually, I just want to live, and I don't want to die here for no reason."

Li You smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful. You are just worried that I will harm you. If you have enough credit, you will be polite to each other. After I will give you a few good words to you, I will take you back to the palace to serve."

Eunuch Hai shook his hand and said, "Actually, I don't want to go back to the palace. I would rather guard the town outside to be free and easy."

The flood season continued since then, but there was no such danger as in mid-September. A few more days passed in a flash and the end of the month entered.

When Li You was walking on the dike that day, there was a report that Fengyang Governor Yang Dazhong Cheng had set off from Huai'an Prefecture and was coming to inspect Sizhou and the ancestral tombs!

This is normal, Li You is not surprised. The dragon vein, which is related to the national fortune, has such a dangerous situation, so Governor Yang has to come and see it in person. However, the local officials in Sizhou have been in prison, and the eunuch Hai, the eunuch who guards the tomb, is not a member of the local government's government, so Lord Li can only come forward to greet him.

There are also some special considerations for welcoming. Welcoming at the yamen station, going out of the city gate, and greeting at the border of the jurisdiction, representing different levels of etiquette. The governor is both a chief official in the border area and a system of imperial envoy sent by the Censorate. Of course, the highest-level etiquette must be used.

However, Lord Li was speechless when he looked at the vast ocean in front of him. Where is Sizhou City? Where is the border of Sizhou? Where should he go to represent Sizhou to welcome the governor?

The former site of Sizhou City is less than ten miles away from Xuyi, and the Sizhou Prefecture Office has temporarily moved to Xuyi for refuge. Li You thought about it and decided to go directly to Xuyi to welcome Governor Yang, which is in line with the actual situation and seems very respectful to leave the country to welcome him.

At first, the three places of Ancestral Tomb, Sizhou City, and Xuyi were arranged in order from northwest to southeast. The terrain of Ancestral Tomb and Xuyi were slightly higher on both sides, while the terrain of Sizhou was low and lying in the middle. The terrain of Ancestral Tomb was only ten miles away from Sizhou, with a river channel in the middle. Xuyi was less than ten miles away from Sizhou, and was also separated by a river channel in the middle.

Lord Li, who was decisive, broke the embankment and allowed the water of Hongze Lake, which had a very high water level to flood Sizhou, creating a water surface of more than ten miles wide between the ancestral tomb and Xuyi. This water surface has not yet been retracted at the end of the flood season, but has been connected with Hongze Lake and has become a small corner at the southernmost end of Hongze Lake.

At this time, the flood season was coming to an end, and the water flow was not as fierce as it was at the beginning. Lord Li took a boat from the shore of the ancestral tomb to cross the lake he created with his own hands and headed to Xuyi on the other side.

When the boat passed by the old site of Sizhou City, the city gate tower that had been hardened for 20 days in flood water collapsed in Li You's vision, and the last sign of the thousand-year-old ancient city exposed on the water surface disappeared.
