Chapter 200: Flood Beast I
Chapter 200: Flood Beast I
With the withdrawal of the Xiongnu army, the people in Qishan were as quiet as ever, and once again entered a period of peaceful development.
The countries of the Western Regions have also entered a period of relative stability, and the caravans of various countries have begun to walk in the Gobi Desert again, war is war, trade is trade, and the caravans of various countries are unlimited, because all countries in the Western Regions need material exchanges, which leads to the relative safety of caravan personnel, and there are no special circumstances, caravans are not restricted by countries, and they are not the target of attack by the armies of various countries.
The trade outside the Qishan Pass has entered its heyday, and the caravans of all countries are willing to come here to trade, because all the goods will be exchanged for satisfactory goods or money without special quality, and the caravans of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are also not affected by the war, and they are also part of the caravans, carrying out the rapid turnover and application of materials in various countries.
On this day, the sun did not appear in the field of vision of the Qishan people on time, and the entire sky over Qishan was shrouded in dark clouds from all directions, because everyone did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and the court meeting was still going on.
The inside of the hall is gloomy, the wind outside the hall suddenly made a big wind, this wind is different from the wind blowing in the original Loulan City, there is no yellow sand mixed with it, the wind is the wind, but the strength of the wind is strong, the door and the window sash of the blowing are clicking, the sound of la-la, this is frightening if it is in the middle of the night, it is impossible to sleep.
Lan Qi'er seemed to sense something in the court, so she immediately stood up and went straight to the main entrance of the hall, and when her feet just stepped out of the door, a lightning light appeared under the dark clouds, and then there was a thunderclap.
Lan Qi'er immediately looked up, the dark clouds had completely covered the Qishan Mountain as far as the eye could see, and the clouds were gathering denser and denser, denser and lower, and people who were under pressure for a while seemed to have difficulty breathing.
Lan Qi'er saw such a scene, although she didn't know how much impact such a scene would have on Qishan City, but she knew that this was a preview before the rainstorm!
Empress Lan Qi'er knows very well that this is not Loulan City, not a flat desert area, if Loulan City generally rains it doesn't matter, it is followed into the yellow sand, this is Qishan City, the soil in the mountain is different from the yellow sand, it is weak permeability, and the place where the people live is relatively low-lying, flat, when the city was built, it was built to do some flood control, heavy rain construction, but in a few years I have not experienced it at all?
Thinking of this, Lan Qi'er's heart was even more bottomless, and she had to immediately announce the holy decree on the spot, the court meeting ended immediately, and all the court ministers immediately returned to the various ministries, performed their duties, gathered all the officials, and prepared to deal with the heavy rain in Qishan.
The courtiers followed Lan Qi'er's imperial decree and bowed down one after another and left the palace hall.
At this time, the sky has begun to roar, the storm is coming, the raindrops of beans are falling from the dark clouds with the help of the wind, and under the help of lightning and thunder, the raindrops crackle everywhere, and instantly stir up a white mist everywhere, and the water will appear immediately.
Lan Qi'er was not at ease in the court, and immediately ordered the eunuch and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tu Long and others, to go out of the palace hall and go straight to the city wall of the pass to observe the real situation in Qi Mountain.
Lan Qi'er climbed the pass city wall accompanied by everyone, and at the same time saw that all the military and military officials had started to fight the flood around the city defense.
From time to time, I looked into the distance outside the city, I didn't know that the bottom depression area of the eastern part of Qishan no longer had any color, the vegetation and so on were all flooded by the rain, the white expanse, the primeval forest was already faintly invisible, and the white mist belt appeared like a veil in the west, which shows how big this rainstorm is!
Lan Qi'er looked at the highest main peak of Qi Mountain in the north, the high mountain stood in the wind and rain, it can still be dimly visible, there was an unknown movement in the ears from time to time, everyone looked sideways at the same time, the movement turned out to be from the mountainside on both sides of the pass, the rain flowed down from the top of the mountain at a very fast speed, gathered, has formed a flowing water that should not be, from time to time there are wild animals antelope, wild asses and so on are trying to transfer to the mountain.
The flowing water is constantly widening with the continuous addition of heavy rain, and the flowing water has been mixed with a lot of stones and miscellaneous trees, which fall straight on the edge of the city wall and the river channel under the mountain.
The original river channel next to the city gate of the pass can no longer see the two banks, and the river has risen and spread in all directions, and there is a large amount of water at the city gate at the same time.
Lan Qi'er didn't know whether it was a heavy responsibility, or a careful and sensitive, or inspired by the animals, she suddenly thought of something, looked at the mountains on the north side, and shouted loudly, no.
The eunuch and the officers and soldiers of the first city of the Praetorian Guard suddenly heard Lan Qi'er's shout, and for some reason, everyone looked at Lan Qi'er together.
Lan Qi'er immediately said: Quick, quick, immediately order down, and all the subjects in Qishan City will immediately move to the mountainside domestic material reserve and secret caves in case of emergency.
Inform all the anti-flood officials and soldiers to stop the anti-flood immediately, and all the staff should mainly transfer the personnel and materials of the people, quickly, quickly, the whole clan must leave their homes, and all court officials must evacuate last, in order to be beheaded.
Ten Praetorian Guards immediately ran down the wall of the pass and issued a holy decree!
Under the decree of Emperor Lan Qi'er, more than a dozen Praetorian Guards could be notified as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the horn on the wall of the pass also sounded, which still had penetrating power in the storm, and the people of the whole city and the people of the Sa tribe heard it, knowing that something big might have happened, and they opened their doors and windows to listen.
With the shouts of many Praetorian Guards through the streets and alleys, the people who heard it in advance packed up their supplies and prepared to transfer, and the officials on the front line of flood control heard the holy decree conveyed by the Praetorian Guards, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to assemble, gave up the flood fighting, and began to divide the division of tasks.
The people on the east side of Qishan began to move continuously, and the Qiang people on the west side of Qishan were too far apart, and the primeval forest was now impossible to walk, so Lan Qi'er could only pray silently on the city wall.
The Saa people are also in charge of the Loulan officials, and they are to be transferred with the Loulan people, and the leader of the Sa, Murong Zike, heard the Loulan officials say the holy decree of the empress Lan Qi'er, and immediately gathered the tribesmen to transfer with the Loulan officials.
The transfer of all the people was after the heavy rain, and of course the transfer road was difficult, and there was already a lot of water on some roads, and it was flowing water, and the speed of travel could be reduced for a while.
Lan Qi'er kept an eye on the movement of each mountain and the speed of the people's movement on the city wall of the pass, and saw that the people were moving slower and slower, and her heart was really anxious, and she kept letting the soldiers blow the horns, reminding the soldiers and officials to help the people improve their marching speed.
Time passed minute by minute, the storm was getting bigger and bigger under the help of lightning and thunder, the original river outlet under the city wall could not bear such a rainfall speed and amount (the southern primeval forest was also draining water at the same time), the rain could not be discharged in time, the water in Qishan City was increasing, some low-level houses had been slowly soaked in rainwater, and the water level in the high places was constantly growing.
Lan Qi'er seemed to understand the reason for the existence of the Qishan Pass on the city wall, so she immediately ordered Tulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to lead several Praetorian Guards down the city wall and open all the gates of the pass and the attached city gates to ensure that the rainwater could be discharged outside Qishan and increase the amount of discharge.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tulong, led several Praetorian Guards down to the attached city wall, although there was the impact of flowing rainwater, through the efforts of several people, it was slowly and completely opened, this door was opened, the gate of the main city wall was not so easy, the main city gate was under the strong pressure of the rain, and several soldiers used all their strength and could not pull it.
Lan Qi'er saw it, heard Tulong's report, and also thought of a way, now the Praetorian Guards are all inside, it is pulling, and there is no need for strength, so she immediately ordered more than ten soldiers guarding the city to tie their waists with ropes, and went down from the city wall outside the pass gate to the outside of the city gate, which greatly increased the strength, and the city gate had some gaps, and the flowing water instantly flowed through the city gate and out of the Qishan Pass.
With the appearance of the crack in the door, everyone came up and pushed the city gate open in one go, but fortunately, the soldiers outside the gate had ropes to tie their waists and were not washed into the river by a large amount of flowing water.
The pass gate is opened, the flow of water can be greatly increased, the water level in Qishan has been more than half a meter higher than the average terrain, the water situation in the city has reached a relative balance for a while, and the rise has slowed down.
The dark clouds in the sky do not mean to disperse at all, with the thunder and lightning flashing in the sky, the storm is big again, in fact, the primeval forest is also full of water, and the southern exit is also discharging a large amount of water at the same time, which can be said to be the magic of nature, if there is no drainage outlet in the south, the rain will never be discharged in time by the east pass, and it will have already flooded Qishan City.
More than half an hour has passed, and the people of Qishan City have moved to safety, Lan Qi'er's heart has finally let go of a little, the rainstorm has been falling, and no one can control what is going to happen in a while.
Now the people of Qishan Mountain are all condescending, and the Qishan City and the primeval forest in the eyes of everyone are already in the rain, and the rivers are all over the mountains!
Dragon Soul Ao Jia's soul can always be hidden in her body, if she exerts her dragon soul divine power, although she can't stop the rain from heaven, she may cast a spell to move the rain out of Qi Mountain in time, Ao Jia's soul reincarnation conditions as long as Lan Qi'er herself sits on the throne dragon chair will be reached, and the rest is to wait for Lan Qi'er's life, when Lan Qi'er ends, that is, when Ao Jia is reincarnated as a dragon, there is no need to help her!
