Chapter 81 Flooding of the Yunnan River

"Liujin, when I went to court today, I heard that the monarch of Western Chu passed away not long ago, and the spies hiding in the Northern Guard reported that the Northern Guard sergeants have been frequently transferred recently, what news is there from Yinyue's side?" Xu Mengmeng, who had just returned home from the early dynasty, looked at Liujin with a smile.

This Beiwei is too belligerent! Not long after he settled down, he started tossing again, knowing that he was not an opponent, and he came to provoke three times and twice, isn't there something wrong with the monarch of Beiwei?

"General, after you went to the morning court this morning, you did receive a letter from Yinyue and them, the letter said that the Northern Guard sergeants have indeed made some large-scale transfers recently, but it is not aimed at us, I guess it should be aimed at the Western Chu State, after all, I heard that the princes of Western Chu are now very competitive, and their country is in a mess. And General Lin is sick! ”

"General Lin is sick, is it serious?" Xu Mengmeng's eyes were a little worried, the Northern Guard sergeant was still a little afraid of Lin Jingyuan, if he had an accident, he was afraid that there would be war in the north again.

"It's a bit serious, it's said that they've been sick for a long time, and Yinyue and they saw that Bei Weiguo had been moving a lot recently, so they kept the news under wrap for the time being." There was also a rare worry in Ryukin's eyes.

"You find a few doctors with good medical skills and send them to General Lin to see, and try your best no matter what! By the way, yesterday on the fifteenth, why didn't there be any letters from Diancheng? I don't know if it was because I heard that Lin Jingyuan was seriously ill, Xu Mengmeng always felt a little flustered.

"I guess it's because of the heavy rain for days, which makes the road difficult to travel, so it's delayed! Miss wait patiently for a day or two! "Liujin ordered someone to investigate last night, and his subordinates replied that the recent heavy rain in several cities near Diancheng made it difficult to travel.

"Okay, I know, I'll go to the barracks first, you stay in the mansion, if there is a letter, send someone to send it to me as soon as possible!" After hearing Liujin's explanation, Xu Mengmeng not only did not feel relieved, but felt even more unsure.

Not to mention that Bai Junning is the only surviving person in the Bai family at present, even Uncle Zhong and Zizhu are also people who care more about the original body, but they must not have any more accidents.

In a hidden cave on Wutong Mountain on the outskirts of Diancheng, Zizhu handed the freshly boiled ginger soup to Uncle Zhong and Bai Junning next to the fire:

"Young Master, Uncle Zhong, let's drink some ginger soup first to go to the cold!"

"Sister Zizhu, I miss the second sister! Do you think we'll ever see her again? cough~coughcough~" Bai Junning, who was pale, took the steaming ginger soup and looked at the pouring rain outside the cave.

After Bai Junning finished speaking, Zizhu and the others fell silent. Originally, they thought that the climate of Diancheng, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, was good, and Bai Junning's health was not good, so a few people settled in Wangtian Village, not far from Qu'an County, outside Diancheng.

In order to prevent being recognized, several people even set up the house not far from the foot of Wutong Mountain, and it was still some distance from other families in the village, and Uncle Zhong did some heavy work every day, occasionally going up the mountain to hunt, and Zizhu was responsible for taking care of Bai Junning.

It had been raining for several days, Bai Junning had a little cold, Uncle Zhong was about to go to the city to grab some medicine and come back, just walked to a small dirt slope, and found that the mountain torrent was surging in the distance, he immediately returned and pulled up the two of them and ran to Wutong Mountain.

A few people were lucky, as soon as they climbed halfway up the mountain, the village below the mountain was flooded, and a few people had to take refuge in this cave where Uncle Zhong was resting on weekdays.

"Young master, don't worry, since we were lucky to escape today, we will definitely be able to see Miss again in the future!" Zizhu hid the worry in her eyes and smiled gently.

In fact, she was not sure whether a few people could survive, the torrent came in a hurry, several people fled in a hurry, only brought some clothes, and she quickly packed some valuables and a few cakes from the young master who put them in the basket, the torrential rain that had been falling for several days seemed to not stop for a while, and it was too difficult for them to live.

"Well, the second sister will definitely come to me!" A determined glint flashed in Bai Junning's eyes.

Diancheng's letter has been delayed for five days, Xu Mengmeng's heart is getting more and more uneasy, there is always a little absent-mindedness during training, and it is rare to sleep peacefully, but he fell asleep early but was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, got up and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes looked at the air blankly, and he prayed silently in his heart.

Because he didn't sleep well at night, Xu Mengmeng was in a bad state this morning, and even a little drowsy after the salute, but he was suddenly shocked by Sima Ji's first words:

"Zhong Aiqing, I received news yesterday night that due to the heavy rain for several days, the area around the Yunnan River has suffered a major flood, countless people have been killed and injured, and countless people have been submerged in the city and villages, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is imperative to send troops and food to reinforce as soon as possible!" "The minister thinks that Lord Zhang is reasonable!" "The minister seconded the proposal" Sima Wei's words fell, and many ministers stood up and put forward their views.

"I think the same way, so who of you Aiqing wants to go?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the troops!"

As soon as Sima Jian asked, Xu Mengmeng stood up directly, but Sima Jian didn't pay attention to her self-recommendation, but set his eyes on Zhu Ping, who was not far from her, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes:

"Ning Aiqing has a heart, if this matter is not handled well, it may lead to a civil uprising, General Ning, you are still young, although you are quite heroic on the battlefield, but you may not have experience in this matter, this matter will be handed over to General Zhu!"

"But...... Wechen obeys! Xu Mengmeng was so anxious that she was about to say something, but she could only give up unwillingly in the stop gaze projected by Shang Sima Ji, and at the same time felt a little disappointed in her heart.

She didn't expect that even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty encountered such a disaster and hundreds of people were in dire straits, Sima Wei's first thought was not how to save them, but how to calculate Zhu Ping's party in this matter.

Could it be that the lives of innocent people are so unvalued in their hearts? The throne and power can make people cold-blooded.

Although Zhu Ping knew that Sima Jian was jealous of him, he didn't dream much of Xu Meng, in his opinion, he had a heavy army, and his sister was quite favored by the emperor, Sima Wei should not touch him at present, so he didn't shirk it.

Xu Mengmeng did not leave the palace directly, but visited the courtyard where the abolished prince Sima Ze was located again. Unlike the East Palace, which was luxuriously decorated and extravagant last time he came, this time he was in a more remote palace, although it was so, there was no difference in the temperament and state of the people he saw twice.

"General Ben now believes that the second prince, you really don't care about that position!" Xu Mengmeng looked at the man who was sitting under the tree reading quietly.

"General Ning cough~" Sima Ze looked at the uninvited guest at the gate of the courtyard and coughed lightly.

"I know that the matter of Qingzhou was framed by the Seventh Prince to you, and now I know that this matter is related to Liu Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, and I will return His Highness's innocence and leave in the future!"

Xu Mengmeng was dizzy because of the affairs of the court, and originally came to Sima Ze to form an alliance with him, so as to help him ascend to the throne, but seeing his pale face and weak body, she instantly sobered up, and her heart was full of sighs.

Ay! What a pity! is obviously a candidate for a generation of Ming Jun, but she can't choose to help him!
