Chapter 2040 The Embankment Breaks
After Ye Zhen revealed his identity, Fang Shaoming did not dare to delay any longer. He issued a notice in accordance with Ye Zhen's instructions, asking the people in the city to move to higher places to take refuge. He also dispatched soldiers to maintain order everywhere. The people were intimidated by this menacing attack. Fearing the heavy rain, and with the government order, they did not dare to delay, so they packed up their valuables and went up the mountain overnight. The few remaining households refused to leave even though they refused to leave despite the soldiers' persuasion. In the end, it was Ye Zhen who gave the mandatory order and finally took the person away.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Shaoming, who originally didn't take it seriously, felt anxious. Is there really going to be a flood?
"Empress...Princess, I will ask someone to escort you up the mountain." Fang Shaoming said softly.
Ye Zhen kept looking at the dark sky. She glanced at Fang Shaoming and said, "I'm waiting here. You take your family and leave first."
"How is that possible? If there is really a flood, Henan Town is downstream and will be submerged..." Although Fang Shaoming felt that Ye Zhen's words were a bit exaggerated, he did not dare to risk letting her stay in the city alone.
"So you should take your family and leave. I have the ability to protect myself." Ye Zhen looked into the distance quietly, looking quiet and cold.
Fang Shaoming thought that she was just a weak woman. The flood was worse than a tiger. What ability did she have to protect herself?
"Princess!" Fang Shaoming wanted to persuade her again.
Ye Zhen frowned and glanced at him, "Don't be a mother-in-law, please take your family and leave quickly."
Without waiting for Fang Shaoming to persuade him again, Ye Zhen's voice turned cold and said, "This is an order."
"Whoever the princess wants to wait for, I will ask someone to find her." Fang Shaoming said.
Ye Zhen looked at him with cold eyes, "The people are hiding in the mountains now. If there is a flood, food and drink will be a problem. Lord Fang, there is no need to waste time in front of me. No matter what happens in the future, you have done a good job. "
Fang Shaoming only then remembered that the food in the granary would be flooded if it was not moved as soon as possible.
"Princess, please go ahead and ask someone to move the food." Fang Shaoming said hurriedly.
"Go." Ye Zhen nodded, she was still worried about when Mo Rongzhan would come back.
Fang Shaoming wanted to leave two soldiers to protect Ye Zhen, but Ye Zhen raised his hand and called him away, "There is already a shortage of manpower, so I don't need to keep anyone here."
"Yes, Princess." Fang Shaoming had no choice but to listen to Ye Zhen's words, and quickly moved the food away with his soldiers. He walked a few steps, and when he turned back, he could no longer see Ye Zhen's figure.
"Where are the people?" Fang Shaoming asked in shock.
"The princess was still standing there just now..." the soldier behind him shouted.
Fang Shaoming frowned and thought about it. This Princess of Qin, who had just asked Qi to cease the war not long ago, was probably not an ordinary person.
"Let's go." Fang Shaoming said.
Ye Zhen had already arrived at the city wall, standing on a high place and watching the waves of the city river rolling. It seemed that the water in the city river would burst its banks in less than an hour.
The water in Chenghe River was fine, but what she was worried about was...
She looked at the mountain not far away, wondering where Mo Rongzhan had gone.
The sky is gradually getting darker, the water in the city river has overflowed, and the water in the entire city is getting higher and higher.
Boom——
There was a sudden loud noise, and Ye Zhen looked up in shock, only to see mountains avalanche and ground cracking in the distance, and flash floods coming from the other side like wild beasts.
Ye Zhen's expression changed, and there was indeed a flood.
She hurried back to the city and said, "Hurry up, the flash flood is coming!"
Although all the people had been persuaded to leave before, there were still people left in the city, including the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.
"Princess, what's wrong?" an officer and soldier asked hurriedly.
"Leave the city quickly and tell Mr. Fang that the flash flood is coming. I'm afraid several nearby towns will be submerged." Ye Zhen said.
Everyone was startled. Even the people who had walked halfway and then turned back regretted it and hurriedly went up the mountain again.
"Princess, what about you?" the officer asked.
"I'll leave with you." Ye Zhen said, "Hurry up, or it will be too late."
When Mo Rongzhan comes back, he should go find her.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Ye Zhen and the others left, the flash flood had already broken through the city gate and submerged the entire He'an town.
When Ye Zhen and others came to the mountain, they found out that the people were housed in the temple on the mountain. Fang Shaoming already knew about the flooding at the bottom of the mountain. His face was a little pale. Although he was embarrassed, he still arranged for the people to live in an orderly manner. Prepare meals to serve.
"Princess..." Fang Shaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Zhen going up the mountain safely, "Princess must remind you, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Ye Zhen said, "Is there enough food?"
"It can withstand two or three days." Fang Shaoming said.
"I hope the imperial court will send manpower to support as soon as possible. The flash flood we just saw may be the Bailong River bursting its banks..." The Bailong River crosses the border between the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom. If something happens to them, there may be flash floods on the Yuan Kingdom side.
"Sir!" Some officers and soldiers came back covered in mud. "Except for He'an Town, the surrounding towns have been flooded. Your Excellency sent people to remind them that their people have all evacuated, but in some places it is too late. I'm afraid there will be many casualties." material."
Ye Zhen frowned when she heard this, fearing that the situation would be even worse than what they knew now.
Is it really related to the checks and balances of heaven? If it was a punishment from God... it shouldn't be a punishment for the people of the human continent.
"Princess, I have reserved a room for you. You haven't eaten yet, why don't you take a rest first." Fang Shaoming said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen shook her head, "I'm fine. You go and do your work. I'll go down the mountain to take a look."
"How is that possible? It's too dangerous at the foot of the mountain now." Fang Shaoming shouted.
"It's okay." Ye Zhen waved her hand. When she turned around to go down the mountain, she saw a figure coming quickly towards this side.
She recognized it as Mo Rongzhan at a glance.
"Who is that?" Fang Shaoming shouted.
"Prince Qin." Ye Zhen said softly, already running over.
Fang Shaoming's expression changed slightly, and he said who could the princess wait for, and it was indeed King Qin.
Ye Zhen didn't know what Fang Shaoming was thinking. She had already arrived in front of Mo Rongzhan, "Azhan! You are injured, how could you be injured?"
"It's okay." Murong Zhan gave her a faint smile, "The river burst its embankment, and I have blocked the gap. I can only hold on for a few hours. I hope people from the court can arrive in time."
Ye Zhen looked down the mountain and found that the speed of the flood had indeed slowed down.
"I'll show you the wound." Ye Zhen helped Mo Rongzhan walk up the mountain while listening to his words.
"...All the spiritual energy has been sucked away. There is a spiritual energy gap behind the clouds. It has been barely blocked. We just want to see if the rain can stop." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was shocked when she heard this, "You... are so ridiculous!"
