As soon as Yan Liulang said this.

There was a moment of silence on the field. People were either laughing or worrying, but the crowd was still somewhat silent, with only a few people responding or standing up.

Yan Liulang took a deep breath.

Knowing that he does not have enough prestige, even if he takes the lead in standing up, not many people will follow him and go to the front line with confidence.

Yanrokuro looked around at the crowded lobby.

The anger in my chest suddenly disappeared, and I just felt tired and tired.

In the past, when Mingfu was here, no matter how tiring the task was, he didn't feel anything.

Yan Liulang silently turned his head and looked at the empty koan table behind him.

A familiar slender figure is missing.

In the lobby, a clerk broke the deadlock:

"Master Xiaoyan, even if you want to go upstream now to support Zheyi Canal, there are no official ships at Penglangdu."

"Where are the official ships borrowed by the Ming Dynasty?" Yan Liulang asked without turning around.

"I'm reporting that I was also taken to the celebration of Zheyi Canal by Diao County Cheng. These official ships were originally going to be returned to Jiangzhou. They are now being transferred to be used as the first batch of ships to sail through the new canal and return to Jiangzhou.

…

"There are no official ships at the moment. How about we arrange manpower to evacuate the people in the county and evacuate to Dagushan first?"

Yan Liulang fell into silence, his expression hesitant.

Behind him, the people gathered in the lobby began to make noise again. The noise could not be suppressed and became louder and louder.

Yan Liulang felt various emotions and feedback coming from all directions, whether they were angry, anxious, or frustrated.

Even when Yan Liulang returned to the lobby just now, he glanced around and found that several of the clerks whom he had previously scolded for "bewitching people" had disappeared and might have run away.

Yan Liulang gritted his teeth and prepared to turn around, trying to suppress everyone.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard the noise of the crowd behind him, which suddenly became a lot quieter.

The noise in the crowd quickly fell silent.

Yan Liulang frowned in confusion. He had just turned halfway when he heard a familiar voice in the quiet hall:

"Everyone get out of the way."

The voice belonging to the young magistrate echoed in the hall.

The crowd of officials, who were originally in chaos and had different opinions, fell into silence, and they all took a step back to make way.

"Mingfu!"

Yan Liulang turned around in a daze, and Ouyang Lianghan's figure in official uniform walked into the lobby from the middle road where the crowd separated.

Ouyang Lianghan didn't squint his eyes, passing by the dazed blue-robed head catcher, he walked to the public case table, shook his sleeves and sat down.

The young magistrate's calm eyes slowly swept across the people in the lobby.

Especially those people who took the lead in making noise before.

He didn't speak, so the atmosphere in the county government hall was quiet.

For a moment, everyone's faces had wonderful and complicated expressions, some were surprised, some were relieved, some were ashamed, or some were looking down.

Yan Liulang pursed his lips slightly, looking up and down at the young county magistrate who had suddenly arrived.

Ouyang Lianghan didn't go to see him.

There was a "bang" sound.

There was a koan table that was split in two and fell to the ground like a page was being turned.

Ouyang Lianghan put away his moonlight sword and stood tall.

He holds his sword in his crown, looks forward, and speaks.

Ever since.

Everyone in the audience clearly heard those sonorous words that were extremely familiar and awe-inspiring.

"Anyone who advocates abandoning the escape route will be killed!"

…

Back hall.

Liu Ashan lowered his head and took out his sleeves.

Silently put on the mask and walked into the lobby.

He didn't know where he could muster the courage to be himself and go out.

Liu Ashan just vaguely saw a silhouette in front of him that was gradually getting further away in the night, waving and smiling goodbye.

"Master, don't worry while I'm doing the work."

…

The sun is still bright this morning.

It falls on the ancient eaves of various buildings in Longcheng County.

But unlike the eternal sun that rises every day, only when you are in a world full of mud can you know how much effort it takes to survive.

The sudden arrival of a young county magistrate with a sword brought the chaotic thoughts in the Longcheng County Yamen into order.

Everyone quickly gathered around the former and took action.

At this moment, almost no one asked why Ouyang Lianghan suddenly returned from his hometown in Nanlong.

Because he is the magistrate of Ouyang County, there is no reason why, and there is no need to ask why.

The impossible things that this young magistrate has done in these days have convinced everyone in the county government, and no one dares to question it easily.

County government hall.

Liu Ashan wore a mirage mask and temporarily replaced the Ming government. In less than half an hour, he quickly integrated everyone, assigned tasks to each, and issued a handwritten letter from the county magistrate.

Yan Liulang took the lead in leading the arrest team and followed the last refuge camp plan to gather the people from Longcheng County and surrounding areas and take them to Dagushan for refuge.

And Liu Ashan personally led the remaining people to the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek to rescue the sluice gate.

However, there is currently no response from the Zheyi Canal, and the official ship has not yet sailed back to Penglangdu Pier.

So Liu Ashan made a decision.

First, let the officials who had come back from the upper reaches to warn the people to quickly return to the villages and towns in the upper reaches by small boats, publish the county magistrate's handwriting, and summon the villagers to go to Dagushan to avoid the possible flood.

Or you can seek shelter in nearby mountains and wait for subsequent rescue by official ships.

And Liu Ashan temporarily stayed in Longcheng, leading people to prepare corresponding disaster prevention and flood relief materials, and gathered at Penglangdu Pier - this can be regarded as learning from the last time Ouyang Rong took a boat overnight to the upper reaches to rescue the floodgates, and the result was in a hurry

When we arrived, there were not enough rescue supplies, so we had to learn from experience and lessons learned from the local area.

At the same time, Liu Ashan once again sent people to the Zheyi Canal Ceremony side with great urgency to sail the official ship back to Penglangdu.

Orders were issued one after another from the county government hall, and everyone dispersed with a tacit understanding, each performing his or her duties.

The entire county government is like a machine, with each component being steadily replenished and slowly starting to run.

This is like a small gear that moves a thousand pounds, affecting the big gear of Longcheng County.

The entire Longcheng County was mobilized and rioted.

At this moment, Yan Liulang, who had honestly accepted the order and was about to leave with his men, returned to the county government hall alone.

Liu Ashan, who was dispatching official documents, turned to look at him, retreated from everyone, and took Yan Liulang to a deserted place in the back hall.

"Are you... Mingfu, or..." Yan Liulang held up his knife, but stopped talking.

Liu Ashan raised his hand to support his chin and took off his mask directly in front of him, his face calm.

"Brother Ah Shan!"

Yan Liulang stared, and the palm that was silently holding the handle of the knife loosened.

He was shocked and relieved at the same time.

Doubts are instantly resolved.

"The sword and the mask were given to me by the master. They were originally used for other purposes. Now they can only be used urgently." Liu Ashan said in a short sentence and nodded to Yan Liulang: "The master is not here, so we have to stand up."

Yan Liulang frowned, "Are these arrangements made by Ah Shan also made in advance by the Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Ashan didn't answer. He just put on his mask again and went out towards the lobby without looking back. Before going out, there was a muffled voice:

"Brother Yan, we used to follow the master silently. Although the master didn't say anything, he actually taught us everything."

Yan Liulang was silent.

"I see."

Take a break.

At the gate of the county government office, a certain blue-robed policeman led a group of police officers and hurried away to organize the evacuation of the people in the county.

Liu Ashan continued to stay in the county town, leading the remaining officials to run around, collecting various emergency and disaster relief materials, and gathered at Penglangdu Wharf.

More than an hour later.

The formerly crowded Penglangdu Wharf has been emptied out, freeing up many ferry docks. The shore is also filled with various supplies transported there.

As for the originally bustling markets around them, they became deserted after Yan Liulang and others carried a handwritten letter from the county magistrate and widely announced that they should evacuate and take refuge.

Liu Ashan checked the supplies on the shore of the dock and helped him from time to time.
