Chapter 420 The Emperor Is in Danger
Seeing Ling Chu build two bridges with a big shovel and a small hammer, everyone was so happy that they cried.
Eunuch An's heart soon fell.
But seeing that the flood was coming, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go."
The emperor didn't say anything, glanced at Ling Chu who was still meditating, and Ning Chuyi who was silently standing by, and finally raised his feet and walked towards the big shovel.
The people saw the flood coming and rushed to the river in a panic.
Fortunately, there were imperial guards to maintain order, otherwise everyone would be crowded together, and someone might fall into the river.
In order for everyone to cross the river as soon as possible, Ling Chu could only let the system absorb the energy of the jade ore crazily.
In and out like this, at a fast speed, her body was actually not feeling well.
But now it's the last moment, no matter how difficult it is, she has to grit her teeth and persevere. Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted, which would be a loss.
Although she had the emperor's order to help the people of Yangqu County evacuate, she also had selfish motives.
After all, if she could save so many people, she would get a lot of merit.
Just when Ling Chu was distracted, the flood had already rushed over.
Ning Chuyi had to remind him, "Everyone has evacuated, we should leave."
After Ling Chu came back to his senses, he quickly cut off the absorption of the system and tried to stand up with his hands.
Unexpectedly, he stood up too hard, his eyes went black, and his body fell forward.
Fortunately, Ning Chuyi reached out and supported her in time, so she didn't fall.
Seeing that her face was still not good, Ning Chuyi simply picked her up, turned around and flew towards the river with his Qinggong.
As soon as he stepped on the shovel, the first wave head was like a hideous and terrifying beast, roaring and hitting Ning Chuyi's back.
When the people standing at the foot of Daluo Mountain saw this scene, their hearts were lifted up, and they couldn't help shouting at them, "Run, the flood is chasing us, run, run, run..."
Ning Chuyi didn't look back, but put his toes on the shovel and rushed to the other side of Daluo Mountain again with Ling Chu in his arms.
Ling Chu was in his arms, blocked by his tall body, and couldn't see the flood chasing behind.
But this didn't prevent her from casting a spell.
She quickly made a seal with both hands and threw a yellow talisman at Ning Chuyi's back.
The talisman hit the wave and exploded into countless water droplets in the blink of an eye, falling from the air.
Although the second wave of water followed closely, Ning Chuyi had already rushed a long way with Ling Chu in his arms, and did not pose any danger to them.
The people standing at the foot of Daluo Mountain breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Ning Chuyi was holding a person, Ling Chu's weight was almost negligible to him. After a few ups and downs, they had already rushed across the long bridge built by the shovel and landed in front of everyone.
He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms, and then gently put her down.
Ling Chu endured the embarrassment and waved his hand to put the shovel and small hammer back into the system.
She thought that seeing Ning Chuyi hugging her in public, someone would scold her for being immoral. Unexpectedly, she was greeted with warm applause.
Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to her regardless of the mud on the ground, "Thank you, girl, you saved the lives of our whole family, and you will be our benefactor in the future. If it weren't for you, our whole family would have been drowned by the flood today."
"Yes, yes, the fairy is our benefactor in Yangqu County. Such a great kindness will never be forgotten."
"Our family left in a hurry and didn't have time to bring anything. We only have these copper coins on us. The fairy saved us with a magic trick. It was too hard. Don't think this little silver is too little. Use it to buy eggs to replenish your body."
Although these people were almost all full of complaints when they were forced to abandon their homes and evacuate at the beginning. Also, they were forced to travel non-stop by the imperial guards, and everyone dared not speak out.
But at this moment, all their dissatisfaction disappeared, and they were full of gratitude to Ling Chu. After all, if it weren't for her, they would have all been drowned by the flood.
Seeing that these people were grateful, Ling Chu's fatigue was relieved a lot.
But she refused all the gifts everyone gave her.
She didn't take all the credit for saving people.
"Although I also contributed to the evacuation this time, you should thank the emperor the most. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness and his love for the people, I and these imperial guards wouldn't have been able to save so many of you. If you want to thank someone, thank the emperor, thank Lord Ning, and these imperial guards who helped you evacuate."
Although the emperor didn't want outsiders to know that he left Beijing, this time he ordered the people of Yangqu County to evacuate. Such a big thing couldn't be hidden from outsiders.
And there was no need to hide it.
The emperor has saved so many people, which is of great benefit to his reputation and the country. He should let the world know his kindness.
Along the way, although everyone saw that the emperor was of noble status, they also had various speculations in their hearts. But no one dared to think about the emperor.
Now they heard that he was the emperor, and everyone was stunned.
Some smart people knelt down immediately after they came to their senses, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, thank the emperor for saving my life."
With the lead, others also knelt down one after another, kowtowed, and excitedly said all kinds of grateful words.
The emperor was very happy to save the lives of tens of thousands of people, but he was still thinking about rushing to Xuanqing Temple. After a few simple words of courtesy, he comforted everyone, saying that although the family property was gone, they could go to Bingzhou Prefecture to find the prefect Wu Jie.
The court would arrange for him to open the warehouse to release grain and porridge, and to raise money and other things to help everyone survive the flood.
After hearing the emperor's words, the people of Yangqu County were very happy and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
The emperor waved his hand, signaling for everyone to level up, and then let them leave.
After these people narrowly escaped death, they were tired and hungry, and they had no intention of staying longer. They all wanted to get to Bingzhou capital as soon as possible so that they could settle down after receiving money and food.
To go to Bingzhou Prefecture from here, the only way is to go over Daluo Mountain. Everyone carried them up the mountain in twos and threes.
The emperor was also preparing to leave with his people.
Ling Chu naturally wanted to follow, but he didn't expect that she suddenly fainted without warning just after taking a few steps. Fortunately, Ning Chuyi was right beside her and caught her in time.
Because Lingchu was a disciple of Master Xuan Yi and the daughter of King Dingyuan, the emperor had a high regard for her. In addition, Ling Chu was able to save tens of thousands of people during this trip, and Ling Chu also deserved a lot of credit.
Seeing that she fainted, the emperor immediately asked Sun Yuanzheng to check her pulse.
After half a cup of tea, Sun Yuanzheng withdrew his hand with a solemn expression, "The princess has cast spells many times along the way, which has greatly exhausted her mind. She urgently needs a good rest now to recuperate. Otherwise, I'm afraid... her life will be in danger."
The emperor frowned. He knew that Ling Chu was not in good health, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. However, he rushed to Xuanqing Temple in a hurry. Seeing Ning Chuyi's worried look, the emperor immediately ordered him to stay and take care of Ling Chu, and wait until she gets better before going to Xuanqing Temple.
Ning Chuyi had this intention, and the emperor's words were exactly what he wanted.
After the emperor left with his people, Ning Chuyi carried Ling Chu up to Daluo Mountain and found a cave that could shelter him from the wind and rain.
Ling Chu fell into a coma and didn't wake up until the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ning Chuyi sitting next to her.
She subconsciously wanted to thank him, but when she looked up and saw his face, her expression changed. After a quick calculation, Ling Chu immediately stood up and said, "Hurry up, the emperor is in danger."
