"Your Majesty, upon observing the night sky, I have discovered that there will indeed be a prolonged period of rain across the territory of Great Yan soon. However, when compared to last year's heavy rainfall, the difference is quite significant. Your Majesty need not worry," said Lord Li, the official from the Astronomical Observatory, to Jun Yuyan.
Jun Yuyan did not explain why he had suddenly inquired about the weather forecast, nor did he mention the once-in-a-century flood that Chenzhou City would face.
The dykes of Chenzhou City had been reinforced year after year but had been destroyed overnight, which showed that the Governor of Chenzhou was a duplicitous freeloader.
Last year's heavy rain had already caused many common people to suffer, and although this year's rains were not as severe, the collapse of the lake's dykes meant that if the entire Chenzhou City were flooded, one could only imagine the hell on earth that would ensue.
