Li Bei galloped over and said in a loud voice: "Princess, the military horses have changed, and I am afraid that a natural disaster will befall you." Is the convoy coming to a halt? ”

Li Jingjing said decisively: "Yes." Before he could finish speaking, the carriage shook violently, and the small cabinet full of food in the corner collapsed, and cried out: "Earthquake! ”

Li Huan and Li Xi hugged Li Jingjing and Wang Yanyu, who didn't know what the earthquake was.

The ground outside the carriage shook, stones rolled down the hill, and cracks opened in the official road a foot wide and several feet deep.

The whole convoy stopped, waiting for the ground to stop, and everyone got out of the carriage in panic and pale.

"Mrs. Jiang, your head is bleeding."

"Mrs. He, what's wrong with your feet?"

The family members of more than a dozen officers had just been slightly injured when the carriage shook violently, and they were terrified, so Miaoshui, Zifeng, and two female doctors quickly arrived to bandage their wounds.

Li Jingjing shouted loudly: "It was the earth dragon that turned over just now, don't be afraid." This is an official road, open and flat, there are no buildings, and everyone stands still. "I secretly scolded in my heart that when I first arrived in Longdi, God gave her a dismount.

Wang Yanyu's heart was pounding with fright, and seeing Li Jingjing's calm face, he asked, "Jingniang, aren't you afraid?" ”

Li Jingjing shook Wang Yanyu's small hand and said, "This time the Earth Dragon turned over is definitely not small, but the position we are in is definitely not in the center of the Earth Dragon, as long as we don't stand next to the tall building, it will be fine." ”

Wang Yanyu asked curiously, "How do you know so much?" ”

Li Jingjing said: "I read it from the book. I guess the center of the earth dragon is either Tianshui or Dingxi. ”

She remembered that there were earthquakes in Tianshui and Dingxi in her previous life, especially Tianshui, where an earthquake of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale occurred during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the city was destroyed and the houses collapsed, and more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians were crushed.

Wang Yanyu shouted: "If it really happens in these two cities, then we are really lucky." ”

Li Jingjing ordered to leave early this morning, and the convoy moved forward for three hours, two hundred miles away from Tianshui City, where it was located at the junction of Tianshui and Dingxi.

Next, she ordered the convoy to camp in the vast fields on both sides of the official road, and sent her own soldiers to investigate the official road ahead, so that the sergeant of the Tiger Ben Army could quickly repair the carriage.

The ladies waited for the news in shock, and a few of them were scared to return to Chang'an.

"Not to mention the poverty of Longdi, there are still earth dragons, how can you live in the future?"

"This is still the boundary of Tianshui City, Tianshui is the richest in Longdi, yesterday I saw that Tianshui City Mansion is depressed and old, more than ten times worse than Chang'an. I heard that Jincheng is not even as good as Tianshui. ”

"I am not afraid of poverty, but I am afraid of natural disasters. As the saying goes, natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be avoided. In addition to the drought in Longdi, there is also the earth dragon, which makes people unable to live. ”

Li Jingjing's hearing was beyond ordinary people, and when she heard all these words, she said loudly: "For thousands of years, Longdi has raised millions of people. They can survive without money, and we all have money in our hands, so why can't we? ”

Wang Yanyu was eating the cakes he bought from the Tianshui City Mansion in the early morning, turned his head to look at those family members, and saw that some of them had abnormal faces, so he stood up.

Li Jingjing stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Yanyu, but she still couldn't stop her hair.

Wang Yanyu said coldly: "You don't want to go to Jincheng to say it early, but now that the convoy is halfway to say such things, do you want to demagogue people or want to tear down the princess's platform!" ”

There are many family members who rely on the large number of people, and they said loudly: "If I knew that there would be earth dragons in Longdi, I wouldn't have come to kill them." ”

"Who in this world can predict when and where the Earth Dragon will appear?" Wang Yanyu held half a cake in his right hand, crossed his waist with his left hand and shouted: "Not only have you experienced the transformation of the earth dragon today, haven't you also experienced the princess's status?" ”

Li Jingjing got up and looked around at the female dependents, and said, "Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. It's a bad saying, but it's an old saying. If anyone does not want to live in Jincheng with their husbands, they will report their names, and when they arrive at the Dingxi Station, I will send my own soldiers to escort you back to Chang'an. ”

Wang Yanyu sneered a few times and said, "Everyone has come here, and it is really a fool to go back to Chang'an to make Fujun angry!" ”

Ma Shi said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "No one is forcing you to come with a knife on your neck, the princess kindly provides a carriage, food and lodging to carry you, and now you want to go back to Chang'an halfway through, then spend money out of your own pocket to go back!" ”

Li Bei's wife, Qu Yu, sat in the middle of the family and said slowly: "In addition to the Yulu given by the imperial court, as well as the silver rewards given by the prince and princess, the officers of the Huben Army have a lot of income every year. There are more good women in Jincheng. ”

"I went to Jincheng to keep my husband and prevent him from marrying a wife and taking a concubine. I won't go back to Chang'an. ”

"My husband is in the prime of life, if you can't see a woman on the battlefield of the Northland grassland, it's okay, but Jincheng is a city, and there are many women, if I am not by his side, he can't keep himself."

"Princess, I don't have the heart to go back to Chang'an."

"A delicate person like a princess can go to Jincheng to accompany King Yan. I can go to Jincheng to accompany my husband. ”

All the female dependents expressed their positions one after another, and those who had wavered before were silent.

Li Jingjing looked up, and the blue sky seemed to be closer to the ground than when she was in Chang'an.

She thought back that the mountains were getting higher and higher, and the green on the mountains was getting less and less, and when she got here, there were no trees on both sides of the official road, and the ground under her feet was full of sand and gravel, and the mountains were full of big stones.

Seventy percent of the people in the Ding Dynasty lived in the countryside, and the peasants could only live by farming and growing vegetables. The land in Longdi is scarce and arid, and the people in the countryside are very poor.

"Jing Niang, you try the Gangu Crisp Ring, I asked my subordinates to go to the most famous time-honored restaurant in Tianshui City Mansion early in the morning to buy it." Wang Yanyu broke the cake in his hand in half and handed half to Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing looked at the cake shaped like a bagel in her previous life, took a bite, and nodded: "This ring will definitely taste better when it comes out of the pot." ”

Wang Yanyu smiled: "I also bought a lard box." ”

The main ingredient of Tianshui lard box is high-grade refined flour, and the auxiliary materials include pork plate oil, green onion tenderness, sesame oil, refined salt, etc. Locals call it a palace dim sum. (Excerpt from Baidu)

From Chang'an to Tianshui, passing by more than a dozen cities and counties along the way, Wang Yanyu would send people to buy famous local food whenever he went to a place.

Li Jingjing was a little less sad by her best friend's smile, and asked, "The box made of lard, will you get tired of eating it cold?" ”

Wang Yanyu thought about it, so he said: "You wait, I'll let someone take it and roast it over the fire, so we can eat it." ”

Li Jingjing ate the cake and felt thirsty, took the water bag handed over by Li Huan, drank the warm water inside, remembered that there was a small river not far away, and ordered the Hu Benjun to bury the pot and cook rice here.

After a while, the smell of rice wafted in the air, and the soldiers distributed the cooked bean rice to their families first.

When the family members saw that Li Jingjing could eat bean rice without vegetables, they had no complaints.

Wang Yanyu shared some bean rice from Li Jingjing's bowl and said, "It turns out that the soldiers eat this kind of rice when they march and fight. ”

Li Jingjing said: "I heard my brother say that the Tiger Ben Army fought in the Northland Grassland, and during the day they cooked for fear of attracting the enemy by smoke, so they made large dry cakes with a little salt at night, and each time they made it was enough to eat for three or four days. ”

Wang Yanyu asked, "Are you saying that when the Tiger Ben Army was fighting in the north, everyone had to carry a few big dry cakes on their backs?" ”

Li Jingjing said: "If you don't believe it, send someone to find a soldier of the Tiger Ben Army to ask." ”

Wang Yanyu really sent someone to ask, and the reply he got was the same as what Li Jingjing said, he still felt incredible, took out a sandalwood hollow fan carved with landscape paintings, and said with emotion: "No wonder my father and mother don't allow my eldest brother and second brother to march to the north." ”

Li Jingjing saw Wang Yanyu yawning and said, "The carriage has been repaired, why don't you go to the carriage and squint for a while?" ”

Wang Yanyu closed the fan, got up and went to the carriage. Li Jingjing saw that Wang Yanyu ate and slept properly, and was not affected by the earthquake at all, and sincerely hoped that she would always live a happy life with such a heart.

About an hour later, the soldiers sent to inquire returned, and reported in a loud voice: "Princess, the disaster of the earth dragon is getting weaker and weaker as it goes forward. There was no major damage to the official road leading to Dingxi Province here, and the convoy was able to pass through. ”

When all the family members heard that there was no disaster in front of them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jingjing sighed lightly and said: "The center of the earth dragon is not in Dingxi, then it is in Tianshui. ”

With thousands of family members, she couldn't return to Tianshui to check the disaster, so she could only go to Dingxi. Without hesitation, the convoy was ordered to set off.

In the evening of the same day, the convoy arrived at Dingxi City, which is two hundred miles away from Jincheng, which is already very close, and if it departs tomorrow morning, it can arrive in the afternoon.

Dingxi had just experienced a low-level earthquake at noon, no one in the city government was injured, and the people in the countryside lived in very unstable thatched houses, and more than a dozen thatched houses collapsed and injured several people.

The officials of the city government and the local celebrities and families rushed out to welcome Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing was most concerned about the disaster, and when she heard about the disaster in Dingxi, she donated some medicine and 3,000 taels of silver.

"The center of the earth dragon should be in Tianshui. Do you have any news of Tianshui? ”

Dingxi Changshi is a tall and thin middle-aged man, with a black face, a pair of black and white slender eyes, looking upright, otherwise he would not have worked in this position for twenty years, and said in a loud voice: "Princess, the Governor of Tianshui did not send anyone to convey any orders. Tianshui is fine. ”

Li Jingjing raised her hand to stop Li Bei, who was angry, and said slowly: "It's better to have nothing." If there is anything, I will stay at the inn today, and you will report it as soon as you get the letter. ”

The officials waited for Li Jingjing to leave, and then said to Dingxi Changshi: "My lord, that is the princess of the protectorate, how can you deny what she said to your face." ”

Dingxi Changshi said: "I am telling the truth. ”

All the officials shook their heads speechlessly, and they all persuaded Xi Changshi to go to the post house with heavy gifts to make amends.

"I didn't say the wrong thing." Dingxi Changshi walked away with his sleeves and took people to inspect the nearby places where the disaster was seriously affected to see if the local Lizheng had delivered relief medicines and money to the victims.

Li Jingjing took a hundred family members to rest in the post house, and the rest were placed in the inn of Dingxi City Mansion, guarded by the soldiers of the Huben Army.

She and her family had just had a simple dinner at the post house, and He Jingyan, Li Yunxiao, Wang Haoran, Di Yumin and others rode to the inn and gave her a big surprise.

"Didn't you go to inspect the fiefdom?"

"Last year's inspection ended, and this time I returned to Jincheng." He Jingyan had heard about the Dingxi earthquake on the road, and ran all the way worried, and finally saw Li Jingjing, who was safe and sound, and said, "Lady, have you ever encountered the earth dragon turning over?" ”

Li Yunxiao said with a straight face: "Sister, this noon Jincheng Dilong turned over, fortunately, the disaster was very small, and there were no casualties. My brother-in-law and I heard that there was also a ground dragon in Dingxi, so we hurried over to meet you. ”

Li Jingjing looked at her husband and second brother, who had not seen each other for half a month, and had lost a lot of weight, and she didn't care about the disaster, but frowned and said, "Why don't you take good care of your own body, you have lost so much." ”

Over there, Wang Yanyu was talking to Di Yumin: "When the earth dragon turned over, we were at the junction of Dingxi and Tianshui, and the movement was really big, and the official road cracked a deep opening, which could stuff a few people in. Fortunately, only a few ladies were slightly injured, and the rest were fine. ”

He Jingyan listened to Li Jingjing's Tianshui earthquake statement, his heart jumped suddenly, and he intuitively felt that she was right, worried that there would be a riot by the people to grab food, so he said: "You don't live in Dingxi, come with us to Jincheng." ”

Li Jingjing hesitated: "I think there will be news of Tianshui tonight at the latest, if it is really as I said, I left the disaster relief medicine this morning and handed it over to the Tianshui garrison, let them send it over, if I expected it wrong, it would be better." ”

He Jingyan said: "You leave the medicine, I will leave a hundred soldiers to guard it for three days, if Tianshui is fine, they will transport the medicine back to Jincheng." ”

"Now that the weather is hot, if the earth dragon turns over and the disaster is serious, many people will die, and in addition to medicine, we must also prevent an epidemic. I had to write about ways to prevent the pandemic. Li Jingjing took He Jingyan's hand and said, "Husband, give me half an hour, and I will go to Jincheng with you after I finish writing." ”

He Jingyan nodded in agreement, which made people go to Dingxi City Mansion to inform the families of the congregation, and asked them to pack up and prepare to leave for Jincheng.

Li Jingjing had already sorted out the ideas in her mind on the way to Dingxi, and now she wrote 12 pages in one go, writing clearly the efficacy of the donated drugs and the methods to prevent the epidemic.

The long convoy left Dingxi City, and within a while, it was raining moderately in the dark night.

A man on a black horse galloped to the city gate in the rain and roared: "Tianshui Mansion 800 miles urgent official report, open the city gate quickly!" ”
