The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 389: 389 earthquake

Chapter 389 389. Earthquake

He was sweating profusely, and even his somewhat round figure looked much thinner.

He looked in a hurry, as if he had just come back from outside.

Xu Lin drove his horse forward, then jumped off the horse and stood in front of Wen Zhonghe, and then showed the token of Ding Wangfu.

Wen Zhonghe was startled and immediately looked towards the group of people.

The man he saw was the leader. Although his face was plain and not what he had seen before, he could tell who he was by looking at his aura.

As for who was following him, he didnt know, and he didnt bother to ask more questions at the moment.

Immediately walked over quickly and bowed in front of King Ding's horse.

But he did not address him. Since he came in disguise, he naturally did not want others to know his identity.

So he adopted his previous pseudonym, He Fang, and started talking.

Mr. He came all the way, is it because of the flood?

Well, how is Master Wen handling it?

There are so many things, please give me some help from Mr. He, and we will explain them in detail.

Then he ordered the servants behind him to go back to Wen's house and prepare food and rooms. Since they were here, they would naturally not live anywhere else.

It is natural to live in Wenfu.

After entering the government office, Wen Zhonghe ordered people to serve tea, and then said to the trusted master beside him.

"Have someone guard the yard and don't disturb him during your leisure time. I have something to say to Mr. He alone."

"explain!"

Master He has heard of this Mr. He before. My family always praised him highly. They thought he was some elegant old man. I didnt expect him to be so young. He looked like he was in his early thirties. To be so valued by the governor of Shuzhou, it seems that he must be very capable.

The most lacking thing in Shuzhou now is powerful people, so Mr. He is like a heavenly general and a magic weapon.

So he nodded solemnly and went outside to arrange it.

Unknown to them, the secret guards of Prince Ding's Mansion had already been lying in ambush all around, closely monitoring all people and things that might threaten the prince's safety.

In the main room, Wen Zhonghe saw no one else and immediately knelt down to say hello.

The lower official has met the prince.

Master Wen, please rise.

They both started talking about the flood without any politeness.

"Since the beginning of spring, it has been raining continuously in Shuzhou. There are already many rivers in the territory, so Xiaguan guessed the possibility of the Huihe River swelling and asked craftsmen to open canals and dredge them in advance. For this reason, he also specially connected the territory with the Xishui River , the water-blocking gate connected to the Luo River was lowered, thinking to let the water flow along the channel dug next to it. Everything was fine at first, but who knew that someone deliberately blew up the water-blocking gate half a month ago, and the flood surged like a beast. When it came out, tens of thousands of acres of farmland and people's homes outside Shuzhou City were destroyed in an instant. Many people were swept away by the flood, and their whereabouts are still unknown."

Listening to his reply, Xiao Tingyi's heart grew colder the more he listened.

It has been more than half a month since the flood occurred, but even the casualties could not be counted, so they immediately got angry.

What does Yang Xu do for a living? The king asked him to guard the Southwest Army to protect the countrys safety. Is this how he protects it?

"My lord, please don't punish General Yang. All the roads and bridges between the Southwest Army and Shuzhou were washed away. General Yang ordered people to repair it that night, and he brought more than 2,000 soldiers who were familiar with water to cross the river. Outside the city They helped build the tents, otherwise the people would not have anywhere to go."

Hearing this, the anger in King Ding's heart calmed down a little.

Now that the road and bridge are about to be repaired, I guess the Southwest Army will be able to come to help tomorrow or the day after.

Wen Zhonghe was grateful in his heart. If Yang Xu and the Southwest Army were not there, Shuzhou would really be in chaos.

Although the situation is more difficult now, the refugees have not fled away. When the Southwest Army crosses the river, they will be able to help them recover. He was not afraid of this, but something else made him worried.

King Ding noticed his worries and asked questions quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"The official is worried that Shuzhou is inherently fragile. Earthquakes have occurred frequently in the past few hundred years. After these floods, it will be a problem to go up the mountain to consolidate the soil. If earthquakes and mudslides occur, Shuzhou will be the real one." Falling into catastrophe.

After he said this, even Xiao Tingyi fell silent.

On the way here, he thought about this. What would they do if an earthquake really happened?

In the face of natural disasters, human power seems so insignificant.

I dont know how to deal with the refugees outside, but I didnt expect that Wen Zhonghes words turned out to be true.

The government office, which was fine at first, suddenly started to tremble.

The porcelain vase placed on the table clattered and was smashed to the ground. Even people with high kung fu skills such as Ding Wang and Xu Lin were almost knocked to the ground by the shaking.

Theres an earthquake! Theres an earthquake!

In the article, He's eyes were full of fear. The thing he feared most happened when King Ding just arrived in Shuzhou.

If he was injured even half a hair here, I'm afraid the entire Southwest Army would fight him.

So he completely ignored his own safety and rushed to protect King Ding. However, as soon as he got up, he was knocked down by a wooden chair next to him. He felt heartbreaking pain in his arm, and he was afraid it might be broken. .

Xiao Tingyi secretly shouted, "No, Ayao is still on the way to Wen's house!"

Then he quickly ran outside, speaking to Xu Lin behind him as he ran.

Protect Mr. Wen and take everyone to a safe place first.

Your Majesty!

Xu Lin was anxious. He was naturally concerned about the safety of King Ding, but he had to carry out King Ding's orders. In the end, he just gritted his teeth, picked up the injured Wen Zhonghe, and ran out of the house.

This earthquake shook for an unknown period of time, and the entire Shuzhou fell into chaos.

Because there had been earthquakes in the past, the houses in Shuzhou were not built very high, and most of the wooden piles used had solid foundations.

Unexpectedly, this disaster happened so violently that the wooden piles supporting the house actually dug up from the ground, and the house naturally collapsed in pieces.

And the wealthy families who were hiding in their homes in the city all ran out in panic. If you look closely, some of them even brought gold and silver with them. They were really running for their lives without forgetting their wealth.

Feng Jinyao, Chi Zimo, Qiao Shanwei and others who were originally in the carriage planned to go to Wen's house to rest and wait for King Ding to join them.

They have no rank, so they cannot enter the magistrate's office rashly.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, the mountain began to shake.

Unfortunately, they happened to pass by a private house. The building of this private house was not as solid as the official house. With such a shake, everything fell down from all directions.

The horse was frightened and threw off the coachman, and the three masters and servants of Feng Jinyao on the carriage ran forward randomly.

"cousin!"

Third Miss!

Qiao Shanwei and Chi Zimo immediately galloped over to catch the carriage or fish the three of them out.
