The sun was slanting in the west, with the last residual temperature before setting, the people in the sun were irritable, King Ning impatiently pulled the collar of the embroiderer's complicated robe that symbolized his status, took the kettle from the hand of the accompanying servant and drank a sip of water, looked around, frowned, and said: "Why is there no one here?" In fact, what he wanted to say was that the officials in Shuangxia Town were all dead? No one came out to greet them, I don't know if they came to relieve the disaster with all their efforts?

King Qu glanced at him when he heard this, and said gently: "The flood here has just passed, the environment is more complicated, and it is not safer than Kyoto. "The voice is pure, full of the loving attitude of the elder brother and the younger brother.

King Ning smiled contemptuously when he heard this, threw the kettle in his hand back to the little servant, patted the non-existent dust in his hand, looked at King Qu with a smile, and then looked at the looks of the accompanying officials who heard King Qu's words, and sneered disdainfully in his heart, but he was very grateful and said: "Thank you for the care of the second emperor, it's just that since the father let the younger brother come here, the younger brother can't live up to his father's entrustment, how can he hide behind the second brother?"

Saying that, he smiled lightly, his immature face crossed fiercely, his cold eyes swept over several officials, and finally looked at King Qu and said meaningfully: "Besides, the second brother forgot, I have grown up!"

Hearing this, King Qu smiled undiminished, his attitude was still gentle, and he nodded: "I am relieved that the fifth brother said so, but the environment after the disaster is complicated, and the big rocks in the mountains fall frequently, so the fifth brother should pay attention to safety." ”

King Ning smiled faintly. "This is natural, the second emperor brother should also pay attention to safety, after all... If you want to smash a falling rock, you must first smash a high one. ”

Rao is King Qu has excellent cultivation, and he always shows people with a gentle face, and at this time, he has to be angry when he hears King Ning's words!

King Ning looked at King Qu with a smile, not worried at all that what he said just now would annoy him!

When several accompanying officials heard the two princes fighting, they all lowered their heads wisely and ignored them.

One of the king's own soldiers came running to give a message. "Your Highness, there is no one in the town. ”

When King Qu heard the legend of his own soldiers, he withdrew his eyes from King Ning. "How can there be no one?" "Is it so hard that there are no dead people without living?" "Are you not searching carefully enough?"

The soldiers said in fear: "I don't dare to do my job, I have carefully searched under the collapsed houses and among the rocks, but I haven't seen a single person." ”

How could there be no one? Several officials also looked at each other, this group of people was ordered to come to the disaster relief, what kind of disaster relief can it be called if there are no victims? Nearly 10,000 people in Shuangxia Town have disappeared?

After hearing this, King Ning looked at the washed out houses, his face became strange, he frowned and said uncertainly: "Could it be that everyone has been washed away by the flood?"

Although this is unrealistic, it is also a possibility, King Qu lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while: "Your soldiers are divided into two routes, one team stays in the town to continue searching, and the other team goes downstream along the river to find it. ”

"Yes. The soldiers took the order awe-inspiringly and turned to leave.

If you don't look at this chaotic scene, you really don't know that there has been a flood here, it's too quiet! Could it be that everyone is dead, and not a single one is spared?

The purpose of rushing to come to the disaster relief is to establish prestige among the victims, to establish prestige among the hundred officials, and to show his talents in front of his father, but if all the people in Shuangxia Town are dead, what is the point of this disaster relief? Thinking about it, his face became cold, and he walked forward along the street that could no longer be seen.

The officials glanced at each other, and they all hurriedly followed, and said in their hearts: It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qu is going to the scene in person.

King Ning looked at the back of King Qu and the officials who slapped at him, and thought to himself: There will always be a Japanese king who will overtake you, hmph!

A guard who followed King Qu vigilantly looked around, saw something unusual on a mountain from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, look, where is the smoke." ”

King Qu looked at the place where the guards fingered, and sure enough, the wolf smoke was billowing on the mountainside, and his eyes shrank, where...? ”

"Hey, how could you be on the mountain? Could it be that the villagers who went up the mountain to cut firewood were lucky enough to avoid the flood?" King Ning looked at the wolf smoke from afar.

King Qu didn't agree with King Ning's opinion, how could the person who could use wolf smoke to send signals be an ordinary villager? Thinking of Peng Hao, who had been ordered to come to Shuangxia Town to inspect the river, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be him?

The official looked at the smoke and said softly: "But didn't the flood happen in the middle of the day? Who doesn't sleep and cut firewood?"

"yes, yes. ”

After pondering, King Qu said, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”

When the official heard this, he suddenly froze, and hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded in fear: "Your Highness, this mountain road is not easy to walk, but now it is slippery, it is better to wait for the soldiers to clear a road before you go up!"

Although they were ordered to cooperate with the two princes to search and resettle the victims, everyone knew that the lives of the victims in this town could not be worth the lives of these two princes, and the refugees could not search and rescue, but if the prince was injured here, then the officials who accompanied them would have survived to the end!

King Qu is unwilling to miss this good opportunity to meet Peng Hao outside, in Kyoto, there are many scruples, limited opportunities, and the general's mansion is even more evasive, if you can have a good exchange with Peng Hao in Shuangxia Town this time, and even reach a consensus...!

King Qu said awe-inspiringly: "The victims are important, what is it for this king to work hard!" He was unwilling to wait for the rights of the general's mansion.

Several officials heard King Qu's righteous and awe-inspiring words, where could they refute it?

"It's just that the road on the mountain is slippery, the fifth brother should stay, the food and guards here must also be in charge, and the villagers will come back if they are brought down for the brother." King Qu looked back at King Ning and whispered.

As the saying goes, Wangshan walked down the horse, King Ning looked at the mountain from afar, his legs and feet were weak, he didn't want to go, but when he heard the words of King Qu at this moment, he immediately nodded and said: "I listen to the second emperor's brother." ”

After the King of Qu responsibly instructed the guards to protect His Royal Highness King Ning well, he turned around and walked towards the mountain that was burning with wolf smoke;

In another place, Qi Mu, who was sent out of Beijing by Peng Mo, was standing in the middle of a mountain at the moment, and opposite him was also a mountain of similar height, the two mountains were opposite, looking down, the two mountains were sandwiched, and there was an unobstructed view.

He looked up at the sun and counted the hours, took a few steps back to a relatively flat place, a boulder stood here, Qi Mu pushed hard against the boulder, the bottom of the boulder was uneven, and now it was hit by the force of the palm, and it rolled down in an instant.

The side of the mountain is uneven, there is a lot of vegetation, the boulder rolls over, and suddenly the rocks and vegetation that protrude out of the mountain are smashed, swept in it, and after the dust falls, you can see that the road at the foot of the mountain is not wide, and it has been blocked tightly by stones and tree trunks of different sizes.

Qi Mu lifted his internal strength, jumped up, and landed steadily on the boulder that rolled down from the mountain, looking at the area of the sandwich road that was piled up by stones, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and it was in vain that he worked hard to find this boulder!

"Da Da Da!"

A horse galloped in the night, and the man on horseback was holding a torch, and suddenly saw a huge thing in front of him, and hurriedly reined in his horse. "Phew. ”

When the horse stopped, he took a torch forward and looked around, and saw the "behemoth" just now, his brows furrowed, and he saw that the road between the two mountains was blocked tightly by stones.

He scolded secretly, beat the horse and turned back, and half an hour later met with a team of more than a dozen people in the rear, he turned over and jumped off the horse, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the road in front of you has been blocked by falling rocks." ”

Jin Rui, who was on horseback, heard the words of the spies, frowned and said impatiently: "How can it be blocked?"

The spy thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's the flood in Shuangxia Town that affected the mountain here, causing the mountain to shake and fall rocks!"

Jin Rui took a deep breath of depression in his chest, the main road can't go, and the small road is blocked again, it's really annoying!

Wen Ge looked at Jin Rui's depressed face, and sighed in his heart, now that time is pressing, where is there time to sulk? Seeing that Jin Rui had no intention of speaking, he had to look at the spy and ask, "Is it a large blockage?"

The spy said: "My subordinates took a look, and it was blocked for a long time, and we didn't have the tools to open the mountain and dredge it, and it was impossible to dredge it in one day or two." ”

Jin Rui was even more irritable when he heard this, he secretly came to Shuangxia Town this time to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, and to establish prestige in the hearts of the victims! Not to open up mountains and dig the ground! For a day or two? What is the use of going to Shuangxia Town? King Qu and King Ning have already taken all the credit!

Wen Ge also frowned, they were afraid that walking from the official road would alarm those people in Kyoto, and when the disaster area was not completed, it would be bad to be involved in a book again; so this group of people chose a path that was difficult to travel and several times farther away, and they ran around day and night for so long, and they were about to arrive at Shuangxia Town, but the road to Shuangxia Town was blocked! How could they not be annoyed?

It's useless to be angry now, you can only solve it quickly!" "Zhang Quan, how long does it take to get around the main road here?" Jin Rui asked a person who was familiar with the terrain near Kyoto.

"Your Highness, there is only one way to go back the way you came, and you can get to the main road by crossing that mountain. Zhang Quan said, pointing to a mountain on the left.

A few people looked at Zhang Quan's hand, and suddenly their eyes widened, can this mountain be turned over? Not to mention whether it is steep or not, even this dense forest and plant barriers are not easy to pass through, and it is so high!

"Then there is no way?" Jin Rui jumped off the horse and roared angrily!

Zhang Quan saw that Jin Rui was angry, and immediately said in panic: "Your Highness, in fact, there is still a mountain road, but it is very difficult to walk, and it is a long detour!"

When Jin Rui heard that there were still mountain roads to walk, his face was a little better. "If it's difficult, you have to go! Speed up the pace, and you have to reach Shuangxia Town in the fastest time. "Half a day's journey is better than climbing a mountain or opening a road!

Everyone didn't dare not agree when they heard it, and Nuo Nuo should be.

Because the path was rough and narrow, the people abandoned their horses and walked instead.
