Chapter 644 I will bring them back safely

The flood that breaks the embankment is not worth mentioning in front of it. The power that destroys everything in its path makes the mountains collapse and the ground collapse, and the earth shakes.

Changsun Tao and Wei Shu exchanged glances. One was protecting Emperor Jiayou, and the other was leading people to climb up the mountain desperately.

But the soldiers who were still on the mountainside were like tiny fishes in the face of the absolute power, being swept away in an instant, leaving no grass behind where they were standing just now.

In just a quarter of an hour, seawater filled the flat land, submerging towns and fertile fields, creating a vast ocean.

Emperor Jiayou, who had escaped the disaster, looked at the mountains and rivers filled with water, his legs trembled, and he lost the ability to speak for a long time.

Even Changsun Tao and Wei Shu looked pale.

"This is just the first wave. According to ancient records, there will be several more waves, which may be more powerful or may be less powerful. The intervals between occurrences are not certain." Wei Shu stated lightly, with perseverance and calmness on his face.

A kind of determination that looks like death.

Changsun Tao understood what he had not finished saying. In the face of such a natural disaster, no matter how powerful they were, they were insignificant. All they could do was to resign themselves to their fate, and there was no way they could change it.

About an hour later, accompanied by loud noises and violent earthquakes, another wall of water rose up, higher and more fierce than before. It was still on the sea just now, and it swept past from under the feet almost instantly, bringing another wall with it.

Countless seawater fills the land as far as the eye can see.

But this time, it was only a few miles away from the top of the mountain where they were.

Emperor Jiayou's face turned pale with fright. Master Qingchen's words echoed in his ears. It was because he couldn't let go of his false reputation that he put himself in such a dangerous situation. He regretted it, regretted it extremely.

The soldiers were so scared that they couldn't even maintain order. At this time, everyone was so scared that they collapsed on the ground. Some wet their pants with urine, and some were completely incontinent.

Changsun Tao clenched the sachet embroidered with Baize and hugged Huihui tightly in his arms. In the past, he looked at the world and the common people in his eyes. At this moment of life and death, all he thought about was his wife far away: Don't die, otherwise

How sad must Yu'er be?

At this time, Yang Qian and San Meng were among the troops in Prince Qi's Mansion. From the moment the incident happened, they tried their best to get closer to Changsun Tao and Wei Shu. Finally, when they saw that the two were safe and sound, they felt relieved.

Take a breath.

Yang Qian often walks on the sea and has seen many strong winds and waves. Although they are not as powerful as the ones in front of him, he has seen some small scenes and is much calmer than those landlubbers.

A group of people quietly gathered around Chang Sun Tao and looked around cautiously, fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos and do something bad to Chang Sun Tao.

The sky was so dark that it seemed as if it was about to fall. This was the closest the sky and the earth were to each other, and it was also the closest to death for hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

"Zhenli..." At the same time, Princess Zhenli met Yu Qinghuan safely. Yu Qinghuan called out absently, and her whole body was overwhelmed by panic again.

The pearl at the bottom of the sleeve was restless, jumping around since yesterday, as if it had been greatly frightened.

Princess Zhenli did not talk as much as before. She put away her luggage silently and sat next to Yu Qinghuan without saying a word.

Dong Sui explained in a low voice: "Princess Princess, the princess is worried about the prince's safety, so don't disturb her yet."

"Are you...?" Princess Zhenli looked at this unfamiliar woman in confusion.

Dong Sui explained in a slow voice: "Dong Sui, a civilian girl, has met the princess."

Princess Zhenli waved her hand: "During special periods, we don't pay attention to these things."

Dong Sui's soft voice should be.

In fact, starting from the past few days, Yu Qinghuan felt a strong uneasiness in her heart. This uneasiness became more and more intense as time went by, until today, she even had nightmares.

In the dream, the overwhelming flood destroyed everything, including her husband, her brother, and her cousin.

In the blink of an eye, everything she cared about was taken away, and she was the only one left in the world, standing alone amidst the devastation.

The constantly beating eyelids, the unreasonable panic, and Mingzhu's uneasiness completely made Yu Qinghuan lose his calmness and calmness.

"Zhenli," Yu Qinghuan suddenly stood up and said every word, "I'm going to Yangzhou, and I'll leave this place to you."

"Little aunt, I want to go too." Princess Zhenli stood up immediately and said firmly.

Yu Qinghuan shook his head: "No, you stay here to control the situation. If we all leave, there will be no important people here, and trouble will easily occur."

Princess Zhenli said: "But my aunt is going there alone, and there are many dangers. Zhenli wants to stay with you. Besides, how can Zhenli carry such a big stall?"

Yu Qinghuan spoke resolutely: "Zhenli, looking back on the things you have done these days, I believe they have given you enough experience and courage to hand over these people to you. I am relieved."

"Little aunt..." Princess Zhenli wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yu Qinghuan.

Yu Qinghuan held her hand and said seriously: "The road ahead is dangerous, and I am a doctor. There is no one more suitable than me to go there. Zhenli, I know that leaving everything to you is too heavy a burden, but we

As members of the royal family, we enjoy the worship of the people. If we don't resist at this time, what will the thousands of people do? Promise me, no matter what method you use, you must hold on until I bring them back safely.

."

Princess Zhenli said nothing more, but repeatedly warned: "Little aunt, we must bring Wei Shu and little uncle back safely."

After telling Ah Liu a few more words to assist Princess Zhenli, Yu Qinghuan didn't even have time to pack her bags, so she took only a medicine box and some life-saving medicine and set off with Ling.

The journey is long, but she is not afraid of running. She is afraid that the people she cares about may encounter any accidents.

So her heart, just like the up and down feeling, was ups and downs, never falling.

The rain was pouring and the wind was howling.

Yangzhou encountered a natural disaster that rarely occurred in thousands of years. The flat land turned into a sea, the mountains were in a mess under the raging wind and rain, and the trees swayed this way and that. Another strong wind blew by, and the thick branches were swaying in the wind and rain.

Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, with countless casualties. Some people were swept away by the water because they had no time to escape. Some people had accidents while running away because of fear. Some people were thrown to the ground because their horses were frightened.

, some people died because of the trampling of their companions...

Changsun Tao and Wei Shu saw that their own troops were in chaos, so they quickly divided their work and cooperated, leading their men to personally maintain order.

Orders were issued one after another, and the panicked team finally stabilized their position. Everyone huddled on the land on the top of the mountain, looking desperately at the waves of seawater below that could destroy everything, their faces turned ashen.

Emperor Jiayou had already moved into the tent that his subordinates had hurriedly built. The four corners of the tent were held down by freshly cut logs and were still stable in the strong wind and rain.

But Emperor Jiayou's complexion was obviously not that good. He was sitting silently, his complexion even more gloomy and terrifying than the sky outside the tent.

The second prince was by his side, his face showing the powerlessness and fear that belonged to his age.

"Father, why didn't Taishi Ling predict such a natural disaster? This is simply dereliction of duty!"

Emperor Jiayou was silent for a while, and his voice became hoarse and old due to fear: "Shut your useless mouth. If you talk more, just go and stand outside."

The second prince was instantly frightened and did not dare to express his anger at all.

At this time, General Han walked in, took off his cloak, shook off the water drops on his body, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the team has restored order thanks to the efforts of the commander of the guards and King Qi. Everyone has received the order and knows that your Majesty

Sharing life and death with them, I suddenly had a backbone in my heart, and nothing went wrong again. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiayou twisted the beads on his wrist and said in a heavy and low voice: "How many casualties are there? Is it possible to roughly estimate them?"

General Han said cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are probably tens of thousands of casualties. The main reason is that the first two pours were too sudden and too fierce. They caught everyone off guard and in panic..."

Emperor Jiayou said: "Don't make excuses. The navy is at sea to defend our Great Qin from foreign enemies. Although this natural disaster occurs once in a thousand years, the basic response methods should have been practiced long ago."

"How did you become a general? You turned a group of my elite soldiers into soft-footed shrimps. They panic like birds and beasts when something happens. So this loss is not only their own fault! It is also your dereliction of duty!"

"Besides, these are the soldiers you lead. When the soldiers start to get into chaos, you should find a way to maintain order. You only care about your own survival and escape, but you don't care about the lives of your subordinates. You really let me down!"

"Compared with your incompetence, look at Wei Shu. How did he respond calmly when something happened? Look at the Qilin Guards he led. Even though they have not received any formal training, their reaction ability when something happens

And the ability to deal with it is incomparable to the so-called lions of the sea like you! If it weren’t for my personal soldiers and Qilin Guards being here today, my life would have been in your hands long ago!”

General Han was so frightened that he knelt down on the dirt and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Everything is my fault! Please forgive me!"

Emperor Jiayou said: "I don't want to argue with you at this time. If you can escape, I will never be lenient! Now get out of here! Don't get in my way!"

General Han moved away step by step, but he seemed hesitant to speak.

Emperor Jiayou shook his pearl necklace and was very unhappy: "If you have something to say, just say it! I hate being secretive and mumbling the most!"

General Han suddenly knelt down again and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I... I think His Royal Highness King Qi's mount is particularly special. I wonder if your Majesty has noticed it. It is a black horse, strong and powerful.

"

"Just now when King Qi was maintaining order, a piece of dirt collapsed under his feet. King Qi and his horse slipped down. Before anyone could react, the horse carried him up the slippery and soft dirt pile to a safe place.

, Ordinary horses don’t have that kind of reaction ability.”

"That is a really good-looking and humane horse. I think it is a perfect match for Your Majesty.

I would venture to guess that maybe that horse was prepared for His Majesty by His Royal Highness Prince Qi!"

Emperor Jiayou raised his head with great interest, the tent kept shaking, and the flickering candlelight made his expression particularly strange: "Oh? Since there is such a good horse, then go and remind King Qi and ask him
