When the first rope snapped, the rope bridge tipped sharply to the right.

The servant in charge of driving the car was so frightened by this scene that his mind went blank.

The carriage overturned to the right along with the bridge deck, and the whole thing slid down, the horse neighing shrillly!

Chen Wangbei, who was fighting with bandits, saw this scene, and his eyes were tearing apart.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao!!"

His screaming did not prevent the tragedy from happening.

The carriage fell into the river with unstoppable momentum, splashing high water.

The river was too fast, but in just a moment, the carriage was washed away by the river for a long distance.

When Chen Wangbei got rid of the bandits and went back to look for King Zhao, he was no longer in sight.

The entire carriage was gone, and it was unknown where it was washed away by the river.

Chen Wangbei almost went crazy.

He immediately ordered everyone to search along the river with all their strength, and they must find King Zhao!

Li Cheng, who was on the other side of the river, showed a satisfied smile at this moment.

He finally got rid of King Zhao who got in the way.

Lin Qingzhi caught a glimpse of the prince's smile by accident, and couldn't help being taken aback.

At this time, everyone was anxious about the unexpected encounter with King Zhao, only the prince was smiling.

His abnormal appearance is really very wrong.

Lin Qingzhi thought of the prince's many dislikes towards King Zhao, and couldn't help but have a bold idea in her heart——

Could it be that the reason why King Zhao had an accident was not because of an accident.

But is the prince playing tricks in the dark?

Li Cheng looked at Lin Qingzhi and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qingzhi quickly suppressed the terrifying thought in her heart.

"fine."

Originally, Lin Qingzhi wanted the prince to take King Zhao under his command and use it for him.

After all, King Zhao is capable of literature and martial arts, and his strength is outstanding.

Even though his leg is broken now, his views on warfare are still unrivaled, coupled with the emperor's trust in him, as long as he can be drawn into the prince's camp, the prince will surely be even more powerful.

It's a pity that King Zhao doesn't seem to have a good impression of the prince.

After getting along for a short time, instead of getting closer, the two became disgusted with each other, and the relationship worsened.

Now that King Zhao has an accident, it is actually a good thing for the prince.

Since King Zhao cannot be used by him, it is better to destroy it, so that King Zhao will not become an obstacle on his way forward in the future.

After Lin Qingzhi figured this out, she quickly calmed down.

She pretended to be worried.

"King Zhao's carriage fell into the river, I'm afraid it's more or less ominous."

Li Cheng calmly said: "I remember that he can swim, and his water skills are very good, maybe he can survive."

Lin Qingzhi reminded in a low voice: "King Zhao's leg is broken, he can't swim at all..."

Li Cheng seemed to think of this at this time, after a brief moment of surprise, his face revealed a look of helplessness.

"Then there is no way, I can only wish him good luck."

Chen Wangbei is still leading people along the river to search for King Zhao's whereabouts.

Judging by their posture, they will not stop until they find King Zhao.

Li Cheng waited for a long time, and soon became impatient.

he ordered.

"The matter of disaster relief is urgent, Gu can't delay here any longer.

You continue to go south with money and food.

As for the task of searching for King Zhao, I will leave it to Chen Shiwei. I hope he can find King Zhao as soon as possible. "

Now King Zhao fell into the water and escaped death, and the entire disaster relief team became the crown prince's voice.

No one dared to disobey the prince's intention, so they could only continue on their way according to the prince's order.

And Chen Wangbei looked down the river.

At this point, there is almost no hope in everyone's heart.

The river is so fast, and King Zhao is disabled, how could he survive?

But even if King Zhao died, they had to bring back King Zhao's body.

Otherwise, they would not be able to report to the emperor.

Given how much the emperor valued King Zhao, he would definitely be furious when he learned of King Zhao's accident.

The emperor might not blame the crown prince, but none of them, the personal guards responsible for protecting King Zhao's safety, would be able to escape, and they would all have to be punished.

It's still raining.

It seemed that the whole world was soaked in rain, and every corner was filled with dampness.

The moment the carriage smashed into the river.

Due to the huge momentum, the carriage suddenly fell apart.

All the planks were broken.

The servant in charge of driving bears the brunt of the incident, was pierced through the heart by a sharp wooden stick, and died on the spot.

Hua Manman's eyes were almost pierced by a piece of wood, but at the critical moment, King Zhao took a timely action to protect her.

But his forearm was scratched with a long and thin wound.

Blood spilled from the wound.

Now they don't have time to deal with wounds.

The two were quickly washed away by the rapids of the river.

Fortunately, Hua Manman held Li Ji's hand tightly all the time, and Li Ji also held her hand tightly.

The two never separated.

When the flow of the river gradually calmed down, Li Ji grabbed a branch protruding from the river and dragged Huamanman up the bank.

Immediately after the two landed, they sat down on the ground and began to pant heavily.

Because she was panting too fast, Hua Manman couldn't help coughing.

Li Ji raised his hand to wipe the water off his face.

He stood up and looked around, almost everything he saw was submerged by water.

Fortunately, the place where they were located was not submerged due to the higher terrain.

If you look carefully, you can also see the pointed roofs of some houses on the water in the distance.

From this, it can be proved that this place should have been a place similar to a small village.

But now it has become a vast ocean.

The houses are gone, the fields are gone.

Those who lived here were either washed away by the flood, or they could only be reduced to refugees.

Hua Manman also stood up.

Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help being a little dazed.

The rain was still falling, the surface of the water was rippled, and the sound was continuous.

She seemed to be able to hear the cries of the people when they encountered the flood through the layers of rain and fog...

"Woo woo woo..."

After a while, Hua Manman came back to his senses.

No, someone is really crying.

Not only her, Li Ji also heard the cry.

The two followed the crying and found a middle-aged man in ragged clothes lying under a tree with a crooked neck. He seemed to have lost his breath.

Kneeling beside him was a boy and a girl.

The girl looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and the boy was slightly younger, no more than ten years old by visual estimation.

It was the two of them who uttered the cry.

They cried so heartbroken that they kept calling daddy.

When she found a stranger approaching, the girl immediately became alert.

She wiped away her tears, pulled her brother behind her to protect her, and looked at the person coming with guarded eyes.

"who are you?"

Hua Manman stopped in a timely manner, kept a distance from the other party, and asked softly.

"We are new here and would like to ask where is there a medical center near here?"

The wound on King Zhao's arm was still oozing blood, so he had to find a doctor to bandage him as soon as possible.

Seeing that the other party looked kindly, the girl relaxed a little.

She answered in a sobbing voice.

"The villages around here have been submerged. There is no medical center. If you want to find a medical center, you can only go to the county seat."

Hua Manman asked again: "May I ask how to get to the county seat?"
