The guards following them had already entered Xijing City and were ready to call the officials of Xijing City over and let them handle the matter.
Right now we can only wait and delay, there is no other better way.
Mu Xuanyi whispered: "It would be great if we could divert their attention. Unfortunately, there are not many things in the carriage now, and those people may not be willing to leave just now."
Xiaolongbao moved: "Mom, I can make it rain here!"
It has not rained in this place for a long time. If it rains now, it will definitely attract the attention of these people.
"If it rains, will you be trapped in this place and never be able to get out?" Mu Xuanyi was still thinking about the book she saw, holding Xiao Longbao's hand with worry on her face.
"Raining is like setting fire. It rains when you think about it. Why can't you get out?" Xiao Longbao tilted his head, not understanding what Mu Xuanyi meant by this.
"Really?" Mu Xuanyi still didn't believe it.
"Really! If you don't believe me, just look at it." Xiao Longbao nodded vigorously. As soon as he finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered in a very short period of time.
Under the disbelief eyes of all the victims, the rain fell.
One drop, two drops...
"It's rain!"
"God has not given up on us, we can be saved!"
"It's really raining!"
Everyone was cheering, and now no one would pay attention to the situation of the carriage. The coachman took the opportunity to urge the carriage and leave the area.
When they arrived at the city gate, the officials had already come out to greet them.
"How unreasonable are those unruly people. They dare to block your carriage, sir. Why don't you send some troops to drive them away so that they don't get in the way here!"
The speaker was a minor official in Xijing City. His eyes were sharp and he showed undisguised disgust towards the victims.
Feng Yunxian frowned: "That's unnecessary, there are so many victims. If even Xijing City doesn't take them in, they will really have no way to go."
Mu Xuanyi stood next to Feng Yunxian and obviously saw the official showing a disdainful smile, but he quickly covered it up.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. The victims of the disaster must thank you."
"But now that we have entered the city, we should settle down as soon as possible. Sir, please come in." The city lord of Xijing City took the initiative to step aside and invited Feng Yunxian to come in.
The carriage restarted, and Mu Xuanyi opened the curtain that had been lowered and looked at the situation outside.
The residence that the city lord arranged for them is in the city lord's mansion. It is an independent courtyard and is quite elegant. But whether intentionally or not, the city lord did not mention Mu Xuanyi's residence when he arranged these.
Feng Yunxian greeted him with a few polite words, and then he said he would not disturb Feng Yunxian and left voluntarily.
Mu Xuanyi finally had some free time, and turned to Feng Yunxian and said: "I see that all these officials are fat and shiny, and they don't look like they have been affected by a disaster at all."
"They sucked the blood of the victims and took the disaster relief food funds sent by the court as their own, so they naturally lived a comfortable life." Feng Yunxian's expression turned cold after hearing this.
"The people in Xijing City did not suffer any benefits. There were very few pedestrians coming here, let alone street vendors. Xijing City is such a big city and there are so few people coming and going. They can't even cover themselves up.
I don’t want to cover it up.”
These people had received the news a long time ago, so it was impossible that they didn't know what they were doing here this time, but they had no intention of changing. Instead, they were so arrogant, clearly thinking of countermeasures.
The more Mu Xuanyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "You must bring more guards with you when you go out. I suspect these people have evil intentions. Don't let them take action first."
"Okay, I will pay attention." Feng Yunxian nodded, but turned around and arranged all the guards around Mu Xuanyi, asking them to guard Mu Xuanyi and Xiaolong Bao.
"I still have something to discuss with the city lord here. I'll come back later. Please be careful."
The attitudes of those officials were vague and they could not draw conclusions on many matters. Feng Yunxian regretted a little. He really shouldn't have brought Mu Xuanyi here in the first place. Now that he had put her in the whirlpool, he felt very guilty.
"The one who really should be careful is you. Don't let them plot against you. I'll wait for you." Mu Xuanyi shook her head and stared at Feng Yunxian with many instructions before reluctantly sending him away.
As soon as Feng Yunxian left, she sent the guards out and asked them to monitor the people coming and going. If anyone else in the city lord's mansion made any moves, they must report it to her as soon as possible.
After the last guard left the yard, she pulled Xiao Longbao into the house with a serious look.
"Do you feel uncomfortable in any way now?"
When Xiao Long Bao set fire before, she had some sequelae. After the fire, she would also get angry, and she needed some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs to recover.
Therefore, she always stopped Xiao Long Bao from eating spicy food, so as not to arouse her anger.
Now that Xiao Longbao has awakened an additional ability, she has to ask him clearly.
Xiao Longbao shook his head, with a confused face: "No."
"Really?" Mu Xuanyi turned the Xiao Long Bao over and over to check, and after confirming that she had no sequelae, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Use this ability as little as possible in the future. Even if you use it, you must not let others know that it was you who released it. Do you understand?"
It is said that Zi Buyu has strange power and chaos. Under the current circumstances, if he behaves differently from others, he will be caught and burned to death.
She would not let her little dragon bag have an accident, so she could only hide her as much as possible.
After Mu Xuanyi made repeated orders and received a series of guarantees from Xiaolongbao, she was released.
"You can't leave my sight!" She put her hands on her hips and told Xiao Long Bao about her restrictions.
Xiao Long Bao pouted: "I know! Mother."
A knock on the door sounded at this time, interrupting what the two were talking about. Mu Xuanyi looked at the courtyard door warily, protected Xiao Longbao behind her, and asked coldly: "Who?"
"I was sent by the Lord of the City to deliver things to you. When you first arrived here, there are many things in the room that are not fully prepared and need to be replenished." The person speaking outside sounded like a young man, and there was only one breath and footsteps.
.
Mu Xuanyi frowned and opened the door. As expected, the man outside was holding a pile of things in his arms.
Seeing Mu Xuanyi, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.
"We've finished putting away the things, you can leave." Mu Xuanyi let the person in, watching the man's every move the whole time. After he put the things down, he couldn't wait to start chasing the person away.
But the man did not leave, but walked towards her with a smile.
