Yan Li naturally knew that she was lying, and she must have guessed who it was, but she just refused to tell.
"You really don't know?" Yan Li asked Rong Changan with the mentality of trying again.
"I really don't know." Rong Changan said with a smile, "Perhaps it's the mob. They saw me swaggering, disregarding the life and death of the people, galloping past in the begging line. Some people didn't like it, so they followed me , and then assassinated me. So, I said, there is no need to pay too much for these mobs."
An angry light flashed in Yan Li's eyes: "I hope you will stop calling the people mobs, otherwise..."
Rong Changan's words were contrary to Yan Li's ideal revenge, so he was very angry.
Rong Changan glanced sideways at Yan Li's fist, and a cold light shone from his cold eyes.
"Otherwise you're going to beat me, aren't you? Anyway, you saved my life today. Even if you beat me all over the place, I have no regrets."
"You know I won't do that!" Yan Li's heart ached a little, "If I were really determined, you would have died many times before!"
Just because Rong Changan already knew his identity, he had every reason to kill her.
"But you can't irritate me with this kind of words again and again, I don't like it."
Unexpectedly, one of her words would cause Yan Li such pain, Rong Changan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Okay, I promise you, I won't call them mobs anymore! By the way, have you figured out how to build the Rain Prayer Altar?"
Rong Chang'an appropriately changed the subject, and the embarrassment between the two of them was resolved immediately.
"I've already asked specialized personnel to complete the location and drawings. Tomorrow, I'll start construction, and it's estimated that it can be completed in a day."
"I hope that this rain praying altar can really bring enough rain to the people as you hoped."
"Yes." Yan Li's dark eyes were filled with a certain light, "If you are united, your devotion will definitely move the heavens."
But in Rong Chang'an's view, instead of spending the money to build a rain altar, it is better to use it to buy rice and grain from other states and counties to help more hungry victims. But she didn't speak out what was in her heart, she didn't want to hit Yan Li anymore.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room and rest."
The moment she turned around, a cold hand grabbed her, pinching her jade hand so tightly that it hurt, and at the same time her body trembled slightly, as if hearing a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
"Censor, you..."
It would be bad if someone saw it and passed it to Li Hai!
She was really afraid that Yan Li would make further moves. A blush spread across her cheeks, all the way to her neck and ears.
After a long time, Yan Li said quietly: "Thank you!"
Pooh!
After the shock, I couldn't help laughing. What kind of thank you did Yan Li say? The one who should say thank you is Rong Changan, it was Yan Li who saved her life.
"Did the assassin put poison on the knife, making the current censor lose his mind?" Rong Chang'an's mouth curled into a playful smile.
In the past, Rong Changan gave Yan Li a very dignified and serious impression, but now she seems to be a different person, with a completely different temperament. If Rong Changan had a mysterious beauty before, then Rong Changan now has a charming beauty, so beautiful that Yan Li was suffocated and speechless. He felt warm in his heart, and the warm current slowly spread from his heart to his whole body.
Rong Changan also felt the change in the temperature of Yan Li's hand, thinking that if this continues, people will definitely see it. So he quickly withdrew his hand and raised his chin slightly, again with a dignified and cold attitude.
"Yan Yushi, please respect yourself!" After speaking, Rong Changan quickly fled Yan Li's room.
Yan Li's hand was still frozen in the air, and he looked at the back of Rong Chang'an leaving in a daze.
The Rain Prayer Altar is built with rammed earth, it is a round earth platform, about one foot high. Yan Li asked the immortal father and mother-in-law to calculate the time to pray for rain. On this day, Yan Li led all the officials, large and small, from the prefecture and county, as well as the common people who heard the news. The people crowding under the altar were dark, about tens of thousands. Taoist priests and monks were also invited to build water and land dojos on the altar, and the sound of chanting scriptures and Taoism was heard for ten miles.
Yan Li raised the three animals, burned incense and prayed, and then lit a pile of dry firewood under the altar, and the fireworks burst into the sky. The meaning of this ceremony is to invite the gods to descend to the world, check the people's conditions, and then spread the nectar.
The entire ceremony of praying for rain lasted for an hour. That night, Yan Li set up a banquet in the post house, hoping to drink while watching the rain come.
However, all the officials, big and small, dispersed, and there was no rain at all until midnight. Not to mention the rain, the sky was clear, the stars and the moon were bright, and there was no forecast of rain the next day.
Rong Changan looked up at the bright moon and said with a smile, "Master Yushi, where is your rainwater?"
"Piety can move the sky, and it will rain within three days!" Yan Li said.
Rong Changan said: "Okay then, after three days, we will wait and see if God will take pity on you and the people in this county. I can't wait any longer today, so I will go back to my room to rest first, and Yushi will wait slowly!" "
If God really had compassion, she wouldn't have died so badly in her previous life! The three thousand loyal soldiers under her will not be decapitated for the country and the people!
On this day, Yan Li waited in the yard all night, but couldn't wait for a drop of rain.
There was no rain on the second day either, nor on the third.
The high mood of the people dropped to the freezing point again, and they all sighed, this time it is not suitable to stay for a long time, it is better to leave their hometown and find another place to settle down!
So the victims fled a lot.
Yan Li drank alone in the room, helpless. If it never rains here, the relief materials and money and food distributed by the imperial court can be said to be a temporary solution, not a solution to the root cause, a drop in the bucket, unable to meet the long-term living needs of the victims. He just wanted to make a memorial to let Li Hai distribute more relief supplies, and he didn't have that face anymore.
This night, I drank a few sips of wine, feeling depressed, unable to stay in the room, looking at the moon and stars, how could it rain tomorrow!
Take a step and sigh three times, unknowingly came to the altar of praying for rain.
Maybe what Rong Changan said is right, God doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all, God is already dead. Otherwise, he and the common people have done so many things, can't they still be heard by Datian
Although he only drank two glasses of wine, Yan Li staggered a little. The blurred drunken eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a touch of white on the rain prayer altar, like a falling cloud. Could it be that the gods have come
Cautiously approaching, she looked like a woman, wearing a white cloud dress, kneeling on the altar, her white face facing the sky, her hands folded reverently, and she was still muttering.
