The city gate officer quickly got up and wiped the rain from his face, and went out to observe, trying to find out what it was. At this moment, another flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and the city gate officer finally saw that what had hit their wall was a constant rolling flood. The turbid waters of the Yellow River are constantly coming from afar. Rushing above the city walls, spreading in both directions.

The Yellow River has burst!

This was the first thought that crossed the mind of the city gatekeeper.

The water of the Yellow River hit the city wall directly, and quickly spread to both sides, soon turning the northern city into a vast ocean, and the flood water continued to flood most of the city wall.

The walls of Tokyo Bianliang Capital are still high and thick enough, and the flood can reach half of the city walls, which shows how large the amount of water it is.

Just as the gatekeeper was terrified, the wall under his feet trembled again. At the same time, there was a roar in my ears, and I don't know what was smashed. He couldn't help but shudder in his heart, could it be the gate of the city gate tower?

The city gate officer was terrified and quickly ordered the men to carry sandbags to block the city gate.

The soldiers also knew the urgency of the situation, and although they had closed the gates at night, it was still questionable whether the gates would withstand the violent impact of the flood. After all, the two gates were only held together by a bolt. Unlike in battle, you need to be supported by a huge wooden stick in the back. Therefore, the gate is now closed only with an ordinary beam bar and a large bolt. And whether this deadbolt can withstand the strong impact of the river is a question mark in the hearts of these people.

Therefore, the soldiers hurriedly rushed down the tower to give orders. But as soon as they rushed to the bottom of the castle, they froze.

Another flash of lightning struck, and several soldiers could see clearly that the gate of the gate tower had been smashed open. Floodwaters are pouring in from the outside, like the discharge of a river embankment. The water that rushed in flew more than ten feet away, and the houses near the city gate tower were instantly washed away by the flood. Screams and cries for help were immediately heard.

The gates could not withstand the wild floods, and the bolt was broken entirely, and the flood rushed in.

The city gate officer also rushed down, and when he saw all this, he immediately sat down on the ground, and he knew that this time he would be beheaded by the emperor even if he did not drown in the flood, because he did not guard the city gate.

He regretted that he had not used the top gate pole to hold up the gate, or that he had filled it with sand, but who knew that at the time. This flood came so suddenly that even the imperial court was not vigilant enough, and suddenly the embankment burst, and once the embankment burst, the amount of water was so huge.

They didn't know that this time they were facing a super flood that was caused by heavy rainfall that occurred once in 500 years. In a short period of time, the river was able to quickly reach the level of threatening the dam, and it only took half a day to destroy the flood control levee and rush straight to Bianliang City.

Fortunately, Tokyo Bianliang is large enough, and it only washed out the north gate, and the other gates are already closed, and they are not directly impacted by the flood, so it is unlikely to be washed away.

After all, the amount of flood water rushing in from the city gate hole is still relatively limited. Therefore, except for the places where the floods were directly impacted, when houses collapsed and many people were submerged, the rest of Bianliang in Tokyo has not been flooded. But because it happened at night, many people were already asleep. In addition, torrential rain and thunder and lightning were combined. Therefore, what happened in the city, except for the people nearby who were alert, most of the people were still asleep, including the Runwang family.

Lord Yaoxiang has not slept well these days, because Yang Xianmao will come to see her almost every other day, and every time she sees a doctor, she will be gentle with her. Although she did not take the last step, this almost lingering had already made her, a cardamom girl, fall into a state of confusion, and every time she lay in bed, she had to recall what happened during the day, and she could not sleep for a long time.

It was the same day, and she didn't feel sleepy until late at night. Listening to the rumbling thunder and the roaring rain outside, what I thought of was the moment when Yang Xianmao rescued her in the water.

In the midst of the thunder and lightning, what she thought about the most was what Yang Xianmao was doing, would she lie on the bed like this and think about herself quietly?

It shouldn't be, he must have fallen asleep with Sister Bai Zhi hugging each other. I always think of this scene. The county lord of Yaoxiang felt a little sour in her heart, and she would turn over and want to think about this feeling clearly.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, illuminating the room. The Lord of Yaoxiang suddenly found that there was a reflection on the ground, reflecting the lightning, which was very dazzling.

This has never been done before, how can the ground be reflected, and it can reflect the lightning flashing outside the window so strongly?

The lord of Yaoxiang immediately turned over and lay on the side of the bed to take a closer look. But the room was pitch black, and there was only waiting for lightning.

Fortunately, the lightning bolts were almost one after the other, and after a few moments, a click was heard, and a bolt of lightning lit up the whole room again. What caught the eyes of the lord of Yaoxiang County was a rolling flood, which had overflowed to a position close to her bedside.

The Lord of Yaoxiang immediately screamed and sat up from the bed at once. shouted vigorously: "Come on, come on." ”

Outside, the quarters of two personal maids, who were awakened by the screams of the county lord. They had been sleeping very lightly, and although they had barely fallen asleep with the thunder and lightning, they had kept their eyes closed, half-asleep, so they didn't notice that the flood had flooded into the room.

After hearing the screams of the Yaoxiang County Lord, he got up with a bone. I want to get out of bed and take a look. But when they stepped on it, it was a muddy flood, and they were so shocked that they quickly bounced their feet again, not knowing what was happening.

It was just a moment when I heard the panic of the lord of Yaoxiang County, and quickly agreed. He stretched out his hand again and patted it on the ground, and sure enough, it was water.

But how could there be so much water in the house? Fortunately, the water was not too deep, only up to the feet and necks, so the two maids resisted the panic, and hurriedly dripped the water into the inner room, and came to the side of the lord of Yaoxiang.

"Why is there so much water, what's going on?" asked the lord of Yaoxiang hurriedly, and the two maids shook their heads, also frightened, not knowing what to do.

The county lord of Yaoxiang only came back to his senses for a moment, and exclaimed: "It's the Yellow River that has burst its banks, and the Yellow River water has rushed into the city, Brother Yang said." Now Brother Yang is right, the water has really flooded into the capital. - Go find my mom and dad. ”

The two maids knew that Yang Xianmao had told them to prepare in case the Yellow River burst its banks or floods rushed into the city. Now that this is the case, in horror in his heart, he hurriedly went out with the help of the lord of Yaoxiang and came to the outside of the princess's house.

The princess is already nearly middle-aged, and she shares the same bed with the prince once a month. The prince is basically served by a few young side princesses, and this night it happens that the princess and King Run are in the same bed, after all, they are husband and wife.

At this moment, the two of them panicked in the house, not knowing what was happening, it turned out that they also found that the flood had entered the house. It was the maid who found out first, and called the two up, and the two were also opening the door, about to go to find their daughter, and the three met at the door.

Seeing that their daughter was safe and sound, the two were relieved. Hurry up and send the servants outside to see what is going on.

The servant who had gone to inquire about the news soon returned, carrying a lantern and said in a panic: "Lord Qi, princess Niangniang." It's water outside, it's all on the street. A lot of people came out, and I don't know what's wrong. Some people say that the Yellow River must have burst its banks, and many people have dragged their families to the city wall.

When King Run heard this, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit with a heavy copper hammer, and he was very annoyed. Yang Xianmao had already reminded him before, but he didn't believe it, now that what Yang Xianmao said has become true, what should he do now?

He glanced at the princess who was looking at him nervously, as well as the princesses who ran over in panic and his daughter Yaoxiang County Lord, thinking about what to do.

The prince's mansion is not in the imperial city, but it is still outside the imperial city. Therefore, the safest thing is to move to the imperial city as soon as possible. Because the imperial city was a single city in the capital, it had a taller and stronger wall, and the wall was even higher than the surrounding walls.

If you can enter the palace, it is much safer. Because if there is a flood, there will inevitably be a plague or something like that, so it will be troublesome. You must enter the palace as soon as possible, and it is safest to be with the emperor.

So King Run immediately ordered to prepare a carriage immediately, and hurried to the imperial city and enter the palace. When the carriage was brought to the door, it was found that the flood had reached the horse's belly. It turned out that the flood in the streets was much deeper than in the city.

The reason is very simple, when the prince's mansion was built, in order to isolate the tide, a lot of soil was transported and the foundation was raised. Therefore, the prince's mansion was originally almost two feet higher than the street. In this way, the water inside the palace was only knee-high, and on the street outside, the lake was waist-high.

It was very difficult for a carriage to walk in such deep water. Because the whole carriage is semi-floating under the action of buoyancy, it is impossible to find assistance on the ground. With the impact of floods during walking, it is likely to capsize.

And now, if they want to go out to the imperial city, the water is waist-high, and the streets are full of people, which is too dangerous. For a while, King Run didn't know what to do. He stomped his foot in the water and said, "It would be nice to have a ship now." ”

The county lord of Yaoxiang said to his father with a pale face: "Brother Yang has said it, let's prepare to prevent floods from entering the city." I heard Brother Yang say that he is building a big ship there. ”

King Run sighed, changed the topic and said, "Let's move to a higher place first, bring all the important things, and don't bring other heavy things." ”

The princess's voice was full of tears: "Where are we going?"

These words stopped King Run, and no one thought that a high platform should be built in the mansion to prevent floods. And the prince's mansion is the same as that of other people, and it is also a flat floor
