Rouge wrong

The news that Huo Zisu was made the head of the county reached Shen Cuo's ears before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Not only that, Yanzhi's sister, Huo Wutong, was named the captain of Jinyiwei because she was appreciated by the emperor.

Although it is just a small flag from the seventh rank, it is a real job.Don't say it doesn't exist now, even before it rarely appeared.

The court's method of wooing and controlling people in the world is nothing more than this, and the titular lords are the most arbitrary.

When the Tianming Sect was just destroyed, the emperor conferred hundreds of martial arts honors at one go. Although it sounds exaggerated, the court hardly paid any real price except for false titles.

In the past two years, the imperial court has mainly restrained the people in the Jianghu, and has hardly issued any decent rewards, let alone let the disciples of the sect take up the duties of Jinyiwei.

It can be seen from this that the imperial court's attitude towards people in the Jianghu has undergone further changes.

Of course, the reason why Huo Mingying's most proud disciple was selected this time is inseparable from the matter of Rouge before.

After Shen Cuo heard the two news, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly on the spot: "My daughter has become the county lord, and my good apprentice has become the school captain. Huo Mingying can only be the master of the two of them now. Break the soldiers!"

To some people, such a reward is naturally Long En, but to Shen Cuo, this kind of favor is too insignificant compared to what he lost, so it is said.

Bai Quan echoed, and Shen Cuo read the letters she brought while talking to her.

And as she read the last letter, the smile on her face gradually turned serious.

"There have been several earthquakes in the northwest region half a month ago."

"Yes, I just received the news, but the situation is not very serious."

"Could it be that Si Ming's divination made a mistake this time? It's not the Central Plains but the Northwest... The Northwest is really far away from Yanjing."

"The imperial court should have received the local news, I sent someone to find Si Ming today, and found that she has been in the Qin Tianjian since last night.

Because I don't know when she will come back, I can only send someone to wait at her place, and I will deliver the letter to you first. "

"It's not in a hurry. If it's not serious, Si Ming should have time soon."

Although things are somewhat different from what was originally expected, Shen Cuo has been waiting for more than half a year, and now he is not in a hurry for this moment.

While putting away the letter, she looked out the window and said worriedly, "I don't know when the rain will fall. The summer is almost over. I didn't expect it to rain so much."

Although it is noon at this moment, the sky outside the house is dark, the sky is cloudy, the pouring rain is pouring down, and the mountain wind is howling, weaving the rain curtain together, making the world seem to be connected by curtains.

"Speaking of this, on the way here, I found that some parts of the mountain road collapsed. It seems to be caused by the rolling of mud and rocks on the mountain. The Yanhe River has risen sharply in the past few days, and many places at the foot of Yanshan Mountain have also been flooded."

"Is it so serious?" Shen Cuo has been living in the palace recently. He was busy making plans before, and stayed in the house all day after it started to rain, so he didn't know the situation outside. "I thought it was just mountain rain."

"It's not mountain rain. It has been raining throughout Yanjing for several days. However, there have been no casualties. Qin Tianjian had warned of the heavy rain before.

In addition to the previous months of rain, all parts of the capital have long been making preparations for flood control. As long as there are no accidents, they should be able to get through it safely. "

"Hmm..." Shen Cuo's brows did not open. After hearing this, she felt a little uneasy for some reason, "Is there any news from the people lurking at the foot of Yanshan Mountain these days?"

"Young master, you are worried..."

"Yanshan has a lot of vegetation, so there should be no large-scale mudslides. It's just that the water flow in the mountain streams is abundant in summer. If the water level of the Yan River rises too much, these mountain streams will have nowhere to go, and the villages at the foot of the mountain may suffer."

"The eldest princess should know this. A dam was originally built on Yanshan Mountain. When I came, I saw many servants and servants building stones in the rain. I think I was notified by Qin Tianjian early in the morning."

"Did Qin Tianjian say how long the rain will last?"

"It's three to five days at most. I think it should stop tomorrow."

Shen Cuo nodded, and said as if talking to himself: "Fortunately, everything was done before, otherwise this rain will not know how much it will delay."

Shen Yunpo doesn't like rainy days, because rainy days will bring back many bad memories for her.

She remembered that it was a rainy day when she met Liu Rongzhi, she remembered that it was a stormy night when her brother died, and she also remembered the thunderstorm and roaring noon when Wu Wu was born.

The most important encounters and partings in her life were on rainy days.So, she doesn't like rain.

The heavy rain didn't weaken until the middle of the night, but the wind was still howling above Yanshan Mountain, and the sound of rain continued.

The rain fell on the leaves, on the rocks, on the roofs, and played like an elegy for parting.

Shen Yunpo stood in front of the window, but the window was not opened.She stood quietly facing the window, as if waiting for something.

Soon, there was a trace of other sounds in the wind and rain, like the roar of cranes, like the roar of tigers, like the sounds of various wild animals running around in the mountains.

Then, the mountain moved.

"Yunpo!" Liu Rongzhi was awakened by the shock and the shouts of the maids. The first time she woke up, she reached out and touched the side. When she didn't touch the person who should be there, her voice revealed endless Panicked, "Yunpo, where are you?"

There was no light in the room, and there was no light outside, so it was really difficult for Liu Rongzhi to see the scene in the room clearly.

The bed was bumping like a carriage, and she could only rely on instinct to hold onto the bed rails tightly.

"Cloud break!"

"I am here……"

Fortunately, soon, a pair of strong arms hugged her into his arms.Liu Rongzhi grasped her sleeve tightly as if he had found a treasure, the original panic turned into joy, as if he didn't notice the shaking of the earth.

"Great……"

"Where is it better? We are not safe yet." Shen Yunpo said while putting on a coat and boots for Liu Rongzhi, and then picked her up, "Let's go to an open place first."

Shen Yunpo usually looks unhurried, but at this time he behaved extremely reliable.

Liu Rongzhi leaned tightly in her arms, as helpless as a bird precarious in the wind and rain.

"As long as you are here, anywhere is fine."

Shen Yunpo gave a low laugh, and the calm laughter resonated in his chest, and then directly reached Liu Rongzhi's body, giving her an indescribable sense of security.

"I'm serious."

"I know you are serious, but there are more important things worthy of your attention now."

As soon as Shen Yunpo carried Liu Rongzhi out of the room, a group of drenched guard maids rushed to meet him.

Liu Rongzhi is the most important person in the palace, so the servants will rush over immediately.

"Princess! Shen Changshi!"

The leading family order couldn't help being overjoyed to see that the two were safe and sound, and quickly led the crowd to greet them.

"It's great that you're safe and sound!"

At this time Liu Rongzhi finally regained the appearance of some eldest princess, and asked: "How is the situation? Is anyone injured?"

"No one in the palace has been seriously injured yet, but according to the guard's report, the water flow in the mountain stream has increased greatly, and the dam on the mountain may not be able to support it!"

At this time, it is safer to find a flat and open place on the mountain than to go down the mountain.

However, if no one informs the village at the foot of the mountain, the area below is likely to be destroyed by flash floods.

"Immediately send people down the mountain to evacuate the people in the village at the foot of the mountain!"

"But princess, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and it is raining continuously. The mountain road is difficult, and I don't know if it will be too late!"

The mountain was still vibrating, and the crowd surrounded Shen Yunpo and Liu Rongzhi, even though they took umbrellas, they were still drenched.

Because of the loud wind and rain, mixed with the roar of the earthquake, Jialing had to reply at the top of his voice.

"What about Wuwang?"

"This……"

The first thing everyone thought of was Liu Rongzhi. In such an emergency, how could anyone remember that maverick princess?

Fortunately, Young Master Shen has high martial arts skills, so he doesn't need others to worry about him at all.

"Auntie, I'm here!"

When the family was in a difficult situation, a voice full of enthusiasm reached everyone's ears through a loud and noisy noise.

I saw Shen Cuo holding Rouge in one hand and Xie Yu in the other running towards the crowd in a hurry.Shen Ding behind her was holding the tiger, and they all looked in a panic.

Shen Cuo was slightly taken aback when he saw Shen Yunpo hugging Liu Rongzhi, but quickly asked anxiously, "Auntie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

When everyone had to speak loudly, only Shen Cuo and Shen Yunpo's voices sounded as usual.

But everyone still heard the conversation between the two clearly, as if those outside voices were nothing at all.

"Let's get out of here quickly and go to the garden, where the land is the widest!"

"Wait a minute..." Shen Yunpo suddenly put down Liu Rongzhi in his arms, and said to Shen Cuo, "The Yanshan Dam is in danger of collapsing, so the villagers at the foot of the mountain must be evacuated immediately. The only one who can get there quickly With you alone, I want you to set off immediately to the foot of the mountain."

Although Shen Cuo was looking forward to the earthquake, he never expected it to be so serious.Yandi was not an earthquake-prone area. There were only three major earthquakes recorded in historical records, and the most recent one was a hundred years ago.

Most of the rest are minor vibrations, which hardly affect the lives of the people at all.

Therefore, when Siming said that there might be an earthquake near Yanjing, everyone thought it was just a small earthquake.

Therefore, it is planned to use black □□□ to create chaos, as a way for the golden cicada to escape its shell.

However, at this time, the magnitude of the Yanshan earthquake not only exceeded Shen Cuo's expectations, but also encountered heavy rain and mountain torrents. Naturally, such a severe situation could not take into account the plan for the time being.

As soon as Shen Cuo noticed the earthquake, he took Rouge to rescue Jieyu, and then hurried to meet Shen Yunpo.

During this period, it's not that she didn't think about simply changing the plan and taking advantage of the chaos to let Shen Yunpo leave.

But when they met, she realized that her aunt had not forgotten to bring her mother with her when she left.

What she didn't expect was that her aunt would make such a request at this time.
