Chapter Twenty-Six: A Loud Noise in the Middle of the Night
Yu Ruyan walked back with heavy steps, and she couldn't imagine that the catastrophe that seemed to be a natural disaster was actually a man-made disaster! Who is so desperate that hundreds of people's homes have been destroyed and displaced? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Bachelor, scholar."
When Yu Ruyan was frowning, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Scholar, Master Xiao has a letter to ask his subordinates to forward it to you." ā
Yu Ruyan's eyelids jumped, could there be anything unexpected?
"Got it, you go down." Yu Ruyan took the secret letter and opened it to read. Xiao Feiqing wrote in the letter that rumors began to circulate among the people somehow that the Yellow River flood was God's punishment for Chen Guo. The reason is that the emperor killed the heroes, imprisoned his mother and brother, and when he ascended the throne, he killed and injured thousands of lives due to the palace mutiny, and appointed traitors, which led to the wrath of God.
After reading the letter, Yu Ruyan angrily left the letter on the ground and said angrily: "Who is making such rumors? ā
Tang Yunluo picked up the letter, skimmed through it roughly, and asked, "Have you ever thought that this may have been manipulated by the same person?" ā
Yu Ruyan looked at Tang Yunluo's eyes and instantly understood what he meant: "You mean, the person behind the blowing up of the Yellow River embankment and the rumors is the same?" ā
Tang Yunluo nodded and said, "I don't know if it's the same person, but it's definitely the same person, they may be several, or even dozens, but the purpose is the same." ā
Yu Ruyan's first reaction was still "Spirit Cicada", this mysterious person who didn't know where to hide, lurked in Chen Guo decades ago and has been secretly destroying the order of Chen Guo. If the suspicion is true, then from the death of Emperor Wen to the current flood of the Yellow River, rumors are spreading, and the crazy revenge of the cicada is trying to destroy Chen Guo step by step.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Yu Ruyan muttered.
Tang Yunluo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is he?" ā
Yu Ruyan suddenly found that she had lost her words, but she didn't try her best to hide it, after contacting her in the past few months, she had learned Tang Yunluo's extreme intelligence. So I didn't hide it completely, but just said: "It's a big villain, a big villain who has always been against our Chen Guo, and I also want to know who he is." ā
Although Yu Ruyan's words are a little vague, Tang Yunluo is definitely a rare IQ in the rivers and lakes. In troubled times, it is common for countries to send each other to make trouble, and it is common for wicked people to deliberately make trouble and instigate, and what Yu Ruyan said is only afraid that it is this kind of person who maliciously destroys Chen Guo.
"In my opinion, now that the rumors already exist, instead of thinking about how to find out the person who spread the rumors, it is better to think about how to deal with it." Tang Yun fell.
Yu Ruyan said approvingly: "It seems that people with ulterior motives not only want to use the Yellow River flood to harm the people of my Chen Kingdom, but also want to take this opportunity to build momentum among the people, intending to be unfavorable to the emperor." This matter has to be resolved, and only the emperor himself has stepped in. ā
Tang Yunluo comprehended, and immediately grinded and laid the paper, Yu Ruyan looked at him in surprise and asked, "Tang Gongzi, what are you ......?"
"Scholar, don't you want to write a chapter for the emperor and let him go to Beijing to save his reputation?" Tang Yunluo said with a shallow smile.
Yu Ruyan was originally in a heavy mood, but being so easy for him to come. Yesterday is not to be kept, the rumors of the flood have happened, it is useless to be angry, what can be done now is to try to remedy it.
"Thank you." Yu Ruyan took the pen and wrote the recital while waiting.
Tang Yunluo looked at her with one hand on her cheeks, she looked so beautiful when she was writing seriously, and the candle flame reflected her face red, which made her look even more cute. There is poetry and calligraphy in his belly, a piece of music is written in one go, and the handwriting is handsome and elegant, Tang Yunluo really admires Yu Ruyan's talent.
On the second day, after finishing the disaster relief, it was already evening.
Yu Ruyan invited the person who told her that the embankment had been blown up that night, although it was only a few words, Yu Ruyan felt that this person was definitely not a thing in the pool. When the emperor is employing people, this person may be able to be used by the emperor.
"Uncle, please be seated." Yu Ruyan smiled and gave up her seat and personally served him a cup of tea.
The man looked at Yu Ruyan in surprise, then shook his head and said, "The scholar pours tea himself, how can an ant man like me afford it?" ā
Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't know your name yet." ā
"What kind of honorific surname, a person like me, no noble surname Li, cheap name a stone, a stone of stones." Li Shi said.
Yu Ruyan said: "Uncle, in fact, I have heard that although the imperial court has tried its best to transfer food for disaster relief, the victims are still often underfed. So, you brought a lot of young and strong people to take advantage of the snow to go to the mountains to catch chickens, rabbits and other animals to satisfy everyone's hunger. I would also like to thank you on behalf of the Imperial Court. ā
Li Shi said nonchalantly: "Thank you for not needing, they are all villagers in the township, they have all suffered disasters, and they have the ability to help." ā
Yu Ruyan smiled: "Uncle, are you willing to do ......?"
"I don't want to!" Li Shi suddenly refused in a loud voice.
Yu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you haven't heard what I said, why are you in such a hurry to deny it?" ā
Li Shi sighed and said, "Little girl, you raise your ass...... No, I know what you're going to say when you open your mouth. Do you want to ask me if I would like to go back to the capital with you to be an official after the disaster relief is over? ā
"Uncle, you are really a god, you guessed accurately!" Yu Ruyan praised.
Li Shidao: "It's useless to guess accurately, I won't go!" ā
"Why?" Yu Ruyan asked, "Uncle is witty and quick-witted, if he can be used by the imperial court, he will ...... to Chen Guo and yourself."
Li Shi interrupted Yu Ruyan's words and said, "Little girl, I'm just a poor peasant, I don't understand any major national affairs or anything in the imperial court. To be an official, I only have to lose my head, and the imperial court still selects talents, so why do I have to be such a mountain villager? ā
Yu Ruyan said: "Uncle's words are different. "Mencius" has clouds: Shun is raised in the acres, Fu Shuo is lifted between the plates, Jiao is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is lifted in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city. Heroes don't ask where they come from, I'm also an ordinary girl. ā
Li Shi was a little impatient and said, "Little girl, oh no, scholar, I am a farmer and don't want to be a big official. I understand all your rhetoric, but I really don't want to do it. ā
Yu Ruyan knew that she couldn't make sense for a while when she said this, and when she was trying to figure out a way, she only heard a "boom", piercing the originally quiet night sky.
A soldier outside ran in in a panic and said, "Scholar, that ...... This one...... ...... outside"
"What's wrong?" Yu Ruyan asked.
The soldiers still couldn't say anything, Yu Ruyan and Tang Yunluo glanced at each other, and exclaimed at the same time: "Dam! ā
The two hurriedly ran out, only to see that someone outside had already started running.
"Send someone to check if there's anything going on over there at the dam!" Yu Ruyan shouted.
"Yes, Scholar!"
Tang Yunluo and Yu Ruyan rode their horses and galloped in the direction of the dam.
Before he could get there, he saw the soldiers rushing over and shouting, "Scholar, no, the dam that has just been built has suddenly been blown up!" ā
Damn it!
"What's going on now?" Yu Ruyan asked eagerly.
"Scholar, scholar, the dam has been destroyed, and the flood has washed out!"
Yu Ruyan immediately decided: "Quick, call all the people in the government, and the young and strong refugees as well, take the soil and lime, and hurry to the direction of the dam, quickly!" ā
"Scholar, no, there's a disaster relief site near the dam!"
Yu Ruyan was shocked, and immediately said: "Go and send people to cover their evacuation, quickly!" ā
"It's dangerous over there, stupid woman!" Tang Yunluo stopped Yu Ruyan, who wanted to run towards the dam, and shouted, "If you want to go, it should be me, you go back quickly." ā
Yu Ruyan shook him off and shouted, "No! How can I not care if the dam blows up? ā
As he spoke, he galloped on his horse, and Tang Yun stomped his feet and followed closely. While running, she saw some officers and soldiers escorting the panicked victims to safety, and Yu Ruyan was relieved.
"How's it going?" Yu Ruyan went to the vicinity of the dam and dismounted and asked.
"Scholar, the situation is not good, the flood can't be stopped!"
Yu Ruyan first stabilized the army's heart: "Don't panic!" I've sent someone to fetch the dirt, and I'm coming soon to fill the dam, and now I can't let the flood wash down anymore! ā
"What are we going to do, scholar?"
Yu Ruyan asked, "Where is the place where it was blown up?" How long is it? ā
"About three or four feet."
Yu Ruyan clenched her fists and shouted: "The situation is critical, jump down and plug the gap!" When the dirt arrives, we'll repair the dam! ā
"What? Mad woman, are you crazy? Tang Yunluo shouted.
Yu Ruyan said: "Now that the situation is in crisis, I can't take care of it so much!" The disaster relief area is about to be flooded, and we need to temporarily block it to stop the flood from continuing to flood, so hurry! ā
Tang Yunluo flashed, Yu Ruyan had already rushed towards the dam, Tang Yunluo shouted: "Hey, you come back!" ā
From afar, I saw Yu Ruyan desperately jumping into the river, grabbing the gap in the embankment, and blocking the flowing water with her body.
"Bachelor!"
A woman jumped into the Yellow River and used her thin body to block the flood, and when the soldiers saw it, they also jumped into the water with her, holding each other's arms, and using their bodies to form a "human wall" to block the flood!
