The atmosphere fell silent all at once.

At this moment, a bright lightning bolt suddenly lit up in the sky, tearing the entire space at once.

Xue Jingyan put away the shocked expression on his face, his eyes flashed with a deep color, and he looked ahead. That was the direction of the Yunlan River that he had been to before. He seemed to see the water overflowing the villages and fields below, mourning everywhere.

He jumped out of the carriage, grabbed the yellow cloud that was a little out of strength and put it into the carriage, and whistled, the snow was burning, and although it was raining, some mentally tired bodies soon came to his side, and stood by the carriage with some attachment.

He jumped on his horse, turned back and gave the man in the carriage a reassuring look, and said, "Hurry up, I'll rush over first." Finally, he glanced at Zhu Yan, but did not speak, and galloped away.

Zhu Yan didn't expect Xue Jingyan's movements to be so fast, and he wanted to ride his horse to follow, but he thought that he couldn't help if he went, and it would only slow down the speed at which the snow was burning, so he stopped talking and just looked at Huang Yun.

"Brother Huang, how are you? Is there anything wrong with it? Zhu Yan took the water bladder and gave it to Huang Yun.

Huang Yun's own water bladder had already been drunk in a hurry. Huang Yun's condition was very bad, and his lips were a little pale, but how hard it was to travel all the way before. But before, he was worried about the Yunlan River, so he didn't take care of himself.

The little yellow horse had stopped on the grass beside him, and the horse was chewing on the wet grass on the ground with his mouth down. And Huang Yun's skin also showed an abnormal color, and his whole body was also a little detached.

Faced with Zhu Yan's question, he just shook his head and signaled that he was fine. Zhu Yan knew that he was in martial arts, and he thought that his body was still healthy, so he only gave him water and food, and then said to everyone: "Master wants us to hurry up, do you have any ideas?" ”

The other two guards in the carriage glanced at each other, and Zheng Nan, the tall one, said, "The young master said let's catch up, then we'll catch up." ”

Another guard, Xu Ze, said: "I don't know where the young master has gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch it then...... That's missing out. Why don't we go to Qingyun Mansion City and wait for the young master." ”

Huang Yun gasped and did not join their conversation.

Zheng Nan was a little unhappy. "The young master must want us to help him if we let us follow, and we can't help at all when we go to Fucheng. Who knows what the prefects are doing? The young master must definitely not be busy alone. Brother Xue Yuan, don't you say? ”

He said to the men who were driving the carriage outside.

Xue Yuan is a descendant of the people who followed the master of the Xue family before, and was given the surname Xue, and he also won the trust of the Xue family. The four guards who came out were faintly headed by him. Martial arts is also his most outstanding, about thirty years old, Xue Jingyan's father, the regent, promised to let him participate in the martial arts, but he was more loyal to the Xue family and did not choose to take the martial arts examination, so he was more trusted by the Xue family.

Xue Yuan was sitting in front and was driving the carriage forward. It seemed that the conversation in the carriage behind him did not attract his attention. Xiao Huang looked at the carriage in the distance and caught up with it. The people in the carriage naturally felt the movement of the carriage, and understood in their hearts that Xue Yuan had already made some decisions.

Xu Ze raised his voice and asked, "Brother Xue, where are we going!" ”

Zhu Yan saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he didn't interject at the beginning. The relationship between these four guards was a little strange when Xue Jingyan was away, no wonder Xue Jingyan usually didn't have a very close relationship with them.

The carriage was a little slow at first, but then gradually picked up.

Maybe the situation ahead is really too bad, and there are already three or three people on the official road, their expressions are sad, and they look behind them a few times from time to time.

Could it be that the previous Qingyun prefect didn't carefully arrange these victims? Zhu Yan looked out the window and was a little confused, and he didn't know where the master had gone now.

Xue Jingyan is not there, and only Xue Yuan and Huang Yun have some respect for Zhu Yan, and the other two don't have much communication with Zhu Yan on weekdays, and there is nothing to talk about at this time, especially when everyone is pressing things in their hearts. No one knows what will happen if the levee bursts at this time.

Undoubtedly, there will definitely be shocks in the officialdom, but these are still far away from the guards, and their task is only to protect Xue Jingyan. So Xue Yuan went forward in the direction of Xue Jingyan.

Xue Yuan still knew a lot about this sixth young master, and understood that he would never let the people go to the prefect's mansion to ask for the crime first. In particular, the sixth young master did not have any identity to govern the prefect on the surface.

Relying on the position of the son of the regent can make those people show respect, but they can never really obey his orders. He had also been to the Yunlan River before, so he naturally knew how to walk the road, and he worked hard all the way, and then Zheng Nan also came out to pick up the work, and Huang Yun's body recovered a lot after a night, and he could also be replaced, but Xu Ze was a little unhappy, and he kept a cold face on the side.

The other guards ignored him.

Zhu Yan wouldn't go up to talk to him. Zhu Yan has not had a good time in the past two days, perhaps because there is one less person around her who will pay attention to her all the time, even if the guards do not say anything about her existence, but it comes from the confidence of their origin in the Xue Mansion, so that they don't have to feel inferior.

Even if this person is the apprentice of his own son. They would only think that Zhu Yan had taken some shit luck, maybe the sixth young master was just a whim.

In short, on the evening of the second day, the group arrived at the place closest to the Yunlan River. However, it is clear that it is impossible to continue walking.

In fact, after a day of walking, there were more people on the road. I was also holding something in my hand, and there was no expression on my face, and I was already a little numb. Now these victims are not short of food, but not necessarily in the future.

Seeing that Zhu Yan and they had a carriage, the expression on their faces was a little strange, but seeing that except for a little girl, the rest of them were all men in their prime, and they looked a little strong, so they didn't step forward. Whether it's to beg for some food or to borrow a car, the people of Great Xia, who are usually kind, haven't reached the point of madness in the future, and they will still think about it.

Several people got out of the carriage, Xue Yuan untied the reins of the horse he was driving, put some important things on the horse's back, and led everyone to the front, leaving the luxurious carriage behind.

Without horses, no matter how luxurious the carriage is, it is useless, especially after a few days of running, the carriage has been splashed with a lot of mud, and it is not obvious that it is not visible.

Xue Yuan hoped to find the Sixth Young Master as soon as possible, but he didn't know which direction he was in, so he just walked towards the embankment.

Zhu Yan followed behind Xue Yuan, the ground was very muddy, she didn't walk very fast, but Xue Yuan didn't deliberately wait for her. She didn't know what the situation was on Master's side now, and she wasn't in a hurry.

It was obviously a long way from the embankment, but the water was bubbling and the rain was still falling, so several people had to wade up with umbrellas.

"Ah......" Zhu Yan twisted her foot as she walked, and whispered softly, she didn't want to trouble Xue Yuan, so even if her foot hurt a lot, she still couldn't help herself from making too much noise. However, the sound was obviously heard by Xue Yuan in front.

Xue Yuan's face showed a little impatience, but he still turned around and said "offended", leaned down to look at the situation on Zhu Yan's feet, and saw that the situation was not very good, because they were walking uphill, and there were some rocks, and more water. Although Zhu Yan's feet were in the water, Xue Yuan felt Zhu Yan's feet, but found that the wet stains on the cloth shoes were not water stains but blood stains. You can smell it from the smell of blood.

Xue Yuan frowned, and was about to open his mouth to let people stay with her, but Zhu Yan said, "Brother Xue Yuan, I'm ...... I want to go to the master, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt much, and I can bear it. ”

Xue Yuan listened to her words, stopped his words, and put Zhu Yan on his back. Zhu Yan is not heavy, so he will take her to find the young master together. Zhu Yan took Xue Yuan's big umbrella and propped it up on the two of them.

Xu Ze in the back was a little dissatisfied, so he snorted coldly.

Zhu Yan whispered to Xue Yuan, "Thank you." ”

Xue Yuan did not answer.

The crowd walked forward for a long time, and finally saw the whole complete embankment.

Zhu Yan had actually heard that the largest river in Muzhou was the Yunlan River, which could be regarded as the mother river of Muzhou, which moistened and irrigated countless fields, but he still felt a little shocked when he saw Zhu Yan with his own eyes.

This embankment is very long, because the Yunlan River is very wide, because of the limitation of the sky, Zhu Yan can not see the end of the dam on the other side. At this moment, the river that has nourished hundreds of people is like a giant dragon, only caring about itself and tumbling and pouring down, and the embankment that should have locked its throat is like a little daughter-in-law who has been ravaged, and it has no effect on stopping the dragon at all.

The sky was overcast, but there weren't too many people on the edge of the embankment. The people will not come here on a rainy day, and Huang Yun only learned about it when the water broke through the river embankment and caused panic among the people, but so many days were enough for the officials in Qingyun Mansion to take action.

Li Xiangyun almost trembled and assigned the personnel, and sent an army of 300 people, hoping to stop the flood a little.

Zhu Yan didn't have martial arts, so he couldn't see or hear what was going on under the embankment, but as soon as Xue Yuan's ears moved, he heard the voices of people in the water.

"There it is!" Xue Yuan put Zhu Yan down, and jumped down with a jump, so that Zhu Yan couldn't say anything.

Huang Yun saw Xue Yuan's movements, and also noticed a group of people under the embankment who were trying to block the breach. He didn't have Xue Yuan's sharp eyes to see the young master, but he also quickly jumped down and helped those soldiers try their best to plug the opening.

Zheng Nan was stunned, dropped the umbrella in his hand, and jumped down.

Xu Ze came to Zhu Yan's side and said to her, "I looked at you and the horse. "His martial arts are not outstanding, usually he works hard when Xue Jingyan is there, but now in this situation, he feels that jumping down is simply looking for death. Standing on the embankment, I feel that the water has overflowed my calves, and God knows how deep the water is below.
