"This young hero, you..." The strong man wanted to say something grateful, but didn't know how to express it.

They didn't know Li Yunxing's identity, but they also knew that it was not a good thing to anger an official.

This official's eyes were spread all over the Wu Dynasty, if Li Yunxing got into trouble because of this.

That is their fault.

"Hmph, these thieves dare to treat innocent people like this. It would be a shame to die."

The middle-aged man wanted to give some advice, but felt that they had too much time to take care of themselves, let alone these things.

Although Li Yunxing was angry, he did not forget the clothes and accessories worn by these soldiers. They were obviously not ordinary government servants.

For these people to be able to gather together in such a short period of time and be so arrogant, they must have a backer.

At this time, Li Yunxing wanted to cut these people to pieces on the spot. In the end, Lian Jirou stepped forward and held Li Yunxing's hand, saying softly, "Master, calm down."

Being held by the soft little hands, Li Yunxing felt that his rationality had returned a little.

Turning around to look at these people, they were thin and looked like they had been hungry for a long time.

Li Yunxing took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I know you are innocent people. You should go home now and tell the people in the city and the countryside to evacuate the city quickly."

The people looked shocked.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" The mature man couldn't help but ask, and everyone else looked at him in confusion.

Li Yunxing explained, "The dam is broken. It will take at least two or three months to repair it. Moreover, there is a lot of silt accumulated on the dam. It will be very dangerous for you to stay here."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to break the embankment and release the flood, and use the spirit of burning the cauldron and sinking the boat to win the last vestige of life."

When the people heard this, they immediately started talking.

Some people believed Li Yunxing's words, while others thought he was a liar.

After all, breaking embankments to release floods is an extremely difficult and dangerous matter.

"Sir, what should we do with our family like this? Do we have to flee into exile?" An old man couldn't help but ask.

Poor people like them have long been accustomed to making a living by farming here. How will they live their lives if they live in exile?

Li Yunxing shook his head, "As long as the flood is discharged once, the pressure of the water flow here will be much smaller. It will be much easier to rebuild the dam during the dry season in summer. And during this period, I will find someone to protect the people here. Absolutely

I won’t let anyone cause trouble.”

Li Yunxing's tone was sonorous and full of confidence.

When the strong man heard this, he was very shocked, "Young hero, it's not that I don't believe you, but there are nearly 100,000 people in our city. Are you responsible for all of them?"

Nearly 100,000 people? Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows slightly, "How many people are there in total in this city?"

"No more than forty thousand."

Forty thousand people... This number made Li Yunxing frown slightly.

However, he decided to appease the emotions of these people first, "Don't worry, I will guarantee that these people will not have any problems."

The people looked at each other in confusion, and a stranger of unknown origin said that he would be responsible for them.

Even King Zhaoyang has never boasted so much. What is the background of the strange young man in front of him?

They were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Li Yunxing looked at the sky and saw that dark clouds were now overwhelming the city.

If we don't hurry up, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of those 100,000 people.

So he continued: "If you are worried, you can send someone to the city to invite the governor. I will discuss the matter with him."

Seeing that Li Yunxing was so confident, everyone was hesitant, but finally the strong man spoke.

"Young hero, you have helped us so much, and we can't repay you. Let's do this. No one in the family who cares about will stay! Help this young master deal with the dam, and the rest will go back with the news immediately, so that everyone can escape."

Li Yunxing shook his head, "No, we have to run to the wall inside the city."

Judging from the terrain, only the city wall is high enough to prevent impact. If you run up the mountain, mudslides and landslides may kill more people.

"Okay! Does everyone understand?"

The old man nodded, and the others also bowed to Li Yunxing. Although no one said thank you, those who dare to stay here at this time have the courage. They are willing to believe in Li Yunxing's promise and are willing to take a gamble.

Li Yunxing saw that the river water was gradually rising, and he told Lian Jirou: "Take the villagers downstream and evacuate the residents in the city. Today, you must ensure that the entire city's people evacuate safely!"

"But what should you do?" Lian Jirou asked worriedly.

"Ji Rou, if the people are on the city wall, you can light the smoke on the city wall, and I will start to release the flood."

Lian Jirou was very worried and wanted to stay with Li Yunxing.

"No! I want to stay and help you!" Lian Jirou said stubbornly.

"Nonsense! There are so many dangers here, how can I trust you to stay here? You take the villagers away first, I will catch up with you later."

But she understood that the evacuation was also very important. The two of them were not in love now, so they did not delay.

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely do it." Lian Jirou agreed in a low voice, and then left with everyone.

Once the crowd withdrew, there were less than five villagers left on the scene, and more than a dozen soldiers were tied together.

Li Yunxing looked at the soldiers with cold eyes, "You have two choices now, either follow me. If things go well, I can spare your lives. If you dare to resist, you will end up like this man!"

In an instant, he raised his knife and dropped it, and the pavilion chief was cut in half by Li Yunxing.

Blood splattered, the soldier turned pale with fright, and his legs were shaking.

"Go or not?" Li Yunxing shouted coldly.

"Let's go!" The soldier gritted his teeth and followed quickly.

When the other soldiers saw this, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow him.

Li Yunxing curled his lips with satisfaction, "If you dare to play any tricks, you will end up even more miserable than him!"

With a wave of his finger, there were people standing next to them with knives on their necks. If they dared to make any small move, their heads would be separated immediately.

Along the way, the people looked at Li Yunxing with fear, but also a bit of admiration.

Li Yunxing's behavior is exactly what they want.

Regardless of whether this strange boy is really capable of protecting them, at least the current situation does more good than harm to them.

"Young hero, what are we going to do now?" The middle-aged man followed Li Yunxing to the valley for a while, and finally spoke uncontrollably.
