Chapter Twenty-Three: Living and Dying Together

Su Yue didn't delay for a moment, and rushed towards the place where the officers and soldiers were guarding the refugees, in order to inquire where the current prince was, he couldn't wait to see him, maybe not just to tell him about King Yi, maybe just the indescribable longing in his heart.

After several inquiries, Su Yue knew that the prince had brought everyone to the mouth of the Honghe River, preparing to rebuild the embankment.

Su Yue looked up and saw that the sky had changed slightly, a storm was coming, I was afraid that this time it was not repaired, the flood would pour down, Su Yue couldn't care about it anymore, ran forward, regardless of the dissuasion of passers-by, and tried her best to run towards the place where the flood collapsed.

Su Yue felt extremely determined at every step, no matter whether there was danger ahead, she felt that for the first time at this moment, she wanted to see Zhou Jingchen urgently, wanted to see his face again, the smile that appeared in her eyes, and the scene of falling into the cliff with the prince for the first time appeared in Su Yue's mind.

Until the sky was already raining, the wind was strong, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Su Yue saw that many officers and soldiers had already ridden past her and returned to the city. But she didn't see the figure of the prince, Su Yue was already soaked, and the road was the most muddy and difficult to walk, Su Yue didn't know how many falls she had to fall before she walked to the river.

Su Yue basically couldn't see where the prince was, only to see a group of people in front of her carrying stone bags back and forth to plug the gap, and saw that the water was getting higher and higher, "Quick, fast." ”

Su Yue only heard that someone was constantly urging, she slowly approached and looked, Zhou Jingchen was already in a mess, his hair was already scattered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept urging everyone, where did he still have the noble momentum of the prince, and he also joined the ranks of the carryer, constantly helping to hand over the stone bags, and after a closer look, most of these people were royal marches, and there were few local officers and soldiers.

Su Yue finally saw Zhou Jingchen at this moment, only to find that it was not at all what she thought, her eyes were a little moist, but fortunately, the rain covered it, but she couldn't see it. She was stunned and stunned, unable to scream if she wanted to, until this moment, she realized that she had never understood the prince.

"Yue'er." It wasn't until the familiar voice came that Su Yue came back to her senses, she had been taken into her arms, and the familiar smell made Su Yue's eyes red again, and Su Yue raised her eyes to see the unspeakable feelings in Zhou Jingchen's eyes, mixed with a hint of surprise, a trace of worry, and a hint of distress.

"Your Highness." Su Yue felt that it took a lot of effort to say this, her voice was choked, and she didn't have anything else to say, she just felt that it was enough to see him at this moment.

"How did you get here? Hurry up, it's dangerous here. Qingping escorted her back to the city. Zhou Jingchen didn't ask too much, and called Qingping to let Su Yue leave.

"No, Your Highness knows my character." At this moment, Su Yue was extremely resolute, "Life and death" Su Yue stared at the prince with burning eyes, Su Yue thought that she would never say this, but the love came.

An indescribable emotion flashed in Zhou Jingchen's eyes, and then it passed away, "I don't have time to listen to you say these stupid things, leave immediately, what's the use of you here!" A sharp voice struck.

Su Yue actually smiled sadly, "Does Your Highness think you can still order Su Yue at this moment?" Although Su Yue is a woman, she also knows how to serve the country, how can Her Highness stop it? Could it be that Su Yue's life is his life, but the lives of the officers and soldiers present are Cao Kan? After speaking, he ignored the prince's answer, walked straight to the side of the embankment, and also helped carry the mud and stone bags, although it was heavy, Su Yue didn't care about it, and dragged it forward without moving.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and did not continue to stop it, everyone present saw that Su Yue was still a little woman, not to mention that he was a man who stood up to the sky, and he was even more vigorous, regardless of his worries, life and death were all up to the will of heaven.

However, the amount of rain was too large, the flood went straight up, and soon there was a posture of breaking through the ladder, Zhou Jingchen had to order everyone to find a good way to retreat, there is driftwood is the best, and it can save their lives for the time being, everyone stopped moving, it seems that the newly built embankment can barely resist for a moment, and everyone hurriedly retreated to find a tree that can float in the water.

At this time, Zhou Jingchen only grabbed Su Yue's hand and retreated backwards, the last time the flood hit, the trees collapsed everywhere, and it was not difficult to find a piece of wood at this time, Zhou Jingchen hugged Su Yue tightly and grabbed the wood, Su Yue smiled at the prince, only felt that the hearts of the two people had never been so close, but Su Yue thought at this time that it would be worth it if he died, at least in his arms.

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, only to see the flood pouring down from the broken gap, coming fiercely, although everyone was mentally prepared, but the flood was too urgent, Su Yue only felt that the two of them were immediately submerged in the torrent, constantly pouring forward, holding the trees tightly with both hands, hitting different things, and inadvertently choking on a few mouthfuls of water, which made it even worse.

Su Yue didn't know when she would be able to stay, she was originally exhausted, and her hands gradually slowed down. Zhou Jingchen also had a strong strength behind him, on the one hand, he had to take care of Su Yue and not let her go, and on the other hand, he had to grasp the trees, feeling that Su Yue was slipping, and he was secretly anxious at this moment, if he didn't reach the foothold, I was afraid that the two of them would die here.

Suddenly, I saw a fairly high hill in front of me, and seeing that the flood had not overflowed, it seemed that I could avoid it a little, so I quickly slid my hand to the front.

Su Yue was so easy to settle down, only coughed a few times, wanted to cough up the water, there was a light pat on the back, it was really much more comfortable, Su Yue looked around, almost everywhere he saw was flooded, everyone just now scattered, some found a foothold like himself, some were still struggling in the flood, and then looked at it, the flood really didn't know where it eroded, and when he looked at the prince again, he found that his brows were furrowed, and Su Yue could almost hear his slight sigh and a little anxious.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious at this moment, I don't know if you want to listen to me?" Su Yue leaned on the prince's arms, shivering slightly from the cold.

A trace of warmth flashed in Zhou Jingchen's eyes, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"At this moment, it is stormy, whether we will survive tonight is not yet known, but no matter what the result is, His Highness can only wait quietly, because human will cannot change the will of heaven, if we can survive, His Highness can make plans again, Su Yue believes that His Highness will be able to deal with the flood and settle the people." Su Yue said comforting words to Zhou Jingchen, but it was the most sincere words.

"I hope so, but although I only arrived last night, I saw the suffering of the people along the road, whether it is the prince's responsibility or not, I want to do something with all my heart after all, but ......" Zhou Jingchen did not finish speaking, but there was a sadness in his eyes, thinking that he was a dignified prince, when did he encounter such a tricky thing, even a small flood could not be controlled, how to talk about governing the country in the future?

"Your Highness, don't be presumptuous, the world's strategists do everything in the world, Your Highness only needs to adopt good advice, Su Yue is used to seeing His Highness's high spirits, and this is the first time I have seen this scene at this moment?" Su Yue also smiled playfully at the moment, becoming more and more gentle.
