The horse carriage continued forward.

Feng Ling ate a piece of pastry and glanced at the king. She ate one piece after another and wondered if this person was really Yan’s previous reincarnation.

If he really were Yan’s previous reincarnation, he wouldn’t know what happened in his next life at all. He wouldn’t be considered her lover.

Since he wasn’t her lover, why did he kiss her yesterday?

And she actually didn’t push him away!

The more Feng Ling thought about it, the more she couldn’t eat.

The king, who had been sitting up straight, suddenly tilted his head and looked at her.

Feng Ling opened her mouth.

In the next moment, the king leaned towards her and reached out to her face. When she subconsciously leaned back, he wiped the corners of her lips with his thumb.

The king said, “There are pastry crumbs on your lips.”

Feng Ling: “…”

What had she wanted to say just now?

How could she have forgotten all of it!

“Are you thirsty?”

Feng Ling subconsciously nodded.

The king lifted the curtain and said to the person outside, “Water.”

Then, he handed her a flask of water.

Feng Ling took it and took a sip. She finally remembered what she wanted to say.

She immediately asked with a serious expression, “Do you believe in the past and present lives?”

The king looked at her with those deep eyes. “I do.”

When Feng Ling heard this, she didn’t know what to say.

She couldn’t possibly ask him if he remembered what happened in his next life, right? One look and she knew that he had never experienced the next life.

Feng Ling suddenly had a headache.

Previously, when she used the mirror, it said that she could find him as long as she was sincere.

What was considered sincere?

Wasn’t she sincere enough?

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt.

When the king, who was sitting at the side, saw Feng Ling’s dazed expression, he immediately misunderstood.

The gentleness in his eyes quickly disappeared. He reached out and grabbed her chin, making her look at him.

“Ling’er, are you thinking about that man?”

Feng Ling looked at the king, who changed his attitude so quickly, and felt the pain in her chin. She subconsciously frowned.

Seeing her like this, the king leaned over.

Feng Ling quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and warned him with her big eyes that seemed to be saying, “How dare you kiss me. I’m going to get angry.”

The king looked into her eyes for a few seconds, a dark glint quickly flickering across them. Then he eased his grip and rubbed her chin, which had turned red from his strength. “Does it hurt?” he asked with a pained expression.

Feng Ling actually blushed at these words.

In the past, she hadn’t felt so. Now, as long as she stayed with him, she could discover many shadows of Li Yan on him, or perhaps Li Yan had shadows of him.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The voice of the guard commander came from outside the carriage. “Your Majesty, all the officials and servants have gathered outside the city gate.”

The king let go of Feng Ling’s chin and nodded. “Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

The horse carriage continued forward.

At this moment, Feng Ling lifted the curtains to the side and glanced at the dark clouds in the west. She said, “The heavy rain will arrive in two hours at most.”

The king immediately said to the commander, “Bring two horses.”

After a while, their carriage stopped.

The king said to Feng Ling, “Let’s ride over.”

Feng Ling nodded and the two of them alighted from the carriage. They rode a horse each and led a group of guards, officials, and their house guards and servants to quickly approach the west.

Half an hour later, a large group of people arrived in the field to the west.

Most of the landowners here supplied food for the Imperial City. If these crops were drowned by the water, it would bring great trouble to the Imperial City.

When they arrived, the farmers were already waiting in the fields with their harvest.

When they saw the king and Feng Ling, they wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

The king said, “No need for formalities.

Then, he said to the prime minister, “Prime Minister Zuo, go and divide up the land of each family. You must collect all the food within an hour.”

“Yes, King.”

“Don’t waste a single grain and don’t mix it up. It belongs to whoever it belongs to.”

“Yes.”

The prime minister immediately sent someone.

The more people there were, the faster they could work. There were at least a few hundred acres of wheat here. After the officials split up the work, their progress was astonishing.

The king and Feng Ling stood there and watched everyone work.

Feng Ling glanced at the dark clouds that were getting heavier and heavier and said to the king, “This rain should last for a few days. After harvesting the crops, they must be dried.”

“Don’t worry. The farmers definitely have a way.”

Feng Ling felt that these words made sense, so she nodded and didn’t say anything else.

When most of the crops had been harvested, bean-sized raindrops finally started falling.

Fortunately, they had brought a lot of oil paper. The rest could also be covered with oil paper immediately.

The rain was too heavy and the oil paper umbrella couldn’t cover everything. Many people were instantly drenched.

Feng Ling cast a barrier to protect her and the king.

Seeing that all the crops had been harvested, everyone couldn’t help but be delighted.

Feng Ling said, “Indeed, there’s strength in numbers. This way, we won’t have to worry about food.”

Just as she finished speaking, she felt something amiss.

She quickly asked, “Is there a reservoir above here?”

The king nodded. “Yes, it was built in XX year.”

“This is bad.”

Feng Ling’s expression changed. She wanted Phoenix to teleport her over.

The king grabbed her wrist. “Take me with you.”

Then, he said to the commander beside him, “Bring people to the reservoir immediately.”

After saying that, the two of them disappeared and appeared above the reservoir.

In the reservoir, a black water dragon was rolling around happily.

“So you’re the one causing trouble.”

The Black Flood Dragon stopped when he realized that someone was here. He looked at the two of them and wagged his tail at them.

The rolling waves slammed towards them.

Feng Ling waved her hand and sent the great waves back. She said to the king, “I’ll deal with it.”

After saying that, she tapped her toes and flew towards the water.

“Evil Flood Dragon, how dare you cause trouble here!”

Roar!

Rumble…

Feng Ling made a hand seal with her finger and threw a talisman at the dragon.

The Black Flood Dragon stirred the water in the reservoir again. The dam was about to be destroyed. Coupled with the heavy rain, a large amount of water was flowing from the dam.

Seeing this situation, Feng Ling shouted at Phoenix, “Phoenix, flames.”

Phoenix flew to the front of the Black Flood Dragon and spat out a mouthful of flames.

Chu Luo threw out a few Lightning Talismans at the same time.

Rumble!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Looking at the Black Flood Dragon that was surrounded by flames and quickly scorched by the lightning, Feng Ling turned around and returned to the shore.

However, before she could say anything, the king grabbed her wrist and jumped to the side.

Then, countless arrows landed by their feet.

“There are assassins.”

Just as Feng Ling finished speaking, dozens of black-clothed and masked people appeared in front of them and surrounded them.

At this moment, the rain was still heavy. Those people in black clothes and masks were wearing bamboo hats.

Feng Ling and the king, on the other hand, were drenched.

Feng Ling didn’t build a barrier anymore and gave the king a sword. She took out a whip and the two of them started fighting with these men in black.

The king’s martial arts were very powerful, and he killed two or three men in black in just two or three moves.

Feng Ling was originally dealing with these assassins very seriously, but as she fought, she realized that she didn’t actually have much to do.

No matter where she went, the king would quickly come and deal with the assassin in front of her.

Feng Ling snapped out of her thoughts and wondered if she should stand to the side and watch the show.

At this moment, the king shouted, “Careful.”

Feng Ling felt the sword aura coming from behind her and was about to dodge when her wrist was grabbed and pulled to the side. Feng Ling quickly turned around and saw the sword tip pierce the king’s arm.

As if he didn’t feel it, the king said to her, “Stand aside.”

Then, he waved his sword at the assassins with a murderous aura.

With the swift movements of the sword and the torrential rain, Chu Luo was almost unable to see the figure in front of her.

As she stood there, it suddenly occurred to her: ‘Where are the people protecting the king? Why didn’t they come out?’

Also… why did assassins dare to come here?

Just as Feng Ling’s mind was filled with questions, the king’s guards finally appeared.

Feng Ling: “…”

Why did she have a strange feeling?

Although she felt strange, she immediately walked to the king’s side and saw that the blood on his arm had been washed away by the rain as soon as it appeared. She quickly formed a barrier above their heads.

“You’re injured. Let me see.”

The king extended his arm for her to see.

Feng Ling quickly rolled up his sleeve. After she rolled it above the wound, she said to him, “Hold down your sleeve. Don’t let it fall.”

The king pressed down on his sleeve.

Feng Ling glanced at it. The wound was a little deep, but there was no poison. She quickly took out a bottle of medicine and applied it on him. After applying the medicine, she used her handkerchief to bandage it. As she bandaged it, she said, “Who exactly sent these assassins? We must investigate carefully.”

The king looked down at her and nodded.

Just as Feng Ling was about to retract her hand, he said, “As long as you’re fine.”
