Chapter 34 (2nd Update)

Hua Yan naturally didn't know about Yun Chi's autumn test, so she hurried in the rain that day and night, and traveled a hundred miles.

The next day, the sky was clear, Huayan rested for a night, and his spirit was excellent, so he did not sit in the carriage in the car. So, except for Cheng Zixiao, who was seriously injured, and Tian You, who was too lazy to ride a horse, the rest of the people rode horses.

After walking for two more days, and when he had traveled three or four hundred miles, he met three or three beggars on the way.

At first, Hua Yan didn't pay much attention, but after encountering several waves in succession, she couldn't help frowning.

An Qiqi said on the side, "Young master, let me find someone to ask and see what's going on?" Why are there so many beggars? It seems that you are going to the capital? ”

Hua Yan let out an "um".

An Seventeen dismounted and went to ask an old man who was begging with a child.

The old man had gray hair, ragged clothes, was covered in dirt, walked very slowly with a cane. The child is very thin, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, the corners of his mouth are shriveled, and his eyes show envy when he sees well-dressed pedestrians.

An Seventeen threw off the reins of the horse and asked the old man, "Uncle, where did you come from and where are you going?" Why are there so many people begging on the road? ”

The old man sighed, almost crying, "Childe, the little old man is from Fengcheng County, and he is going to the capital to join my daughter." Fengcheng was flooded, and the farms and fertile fields outside the city were flooded. My eldest son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson all drowned, leaving only a little grandson, and the little grandson was afraid that he would not live long, and only the little grandson would be left unattended, so he planned to go to the capital to join my little daughter and entrust the little grandson to her. ”

An Seventeen was shocked, "You said that Fengcheng was flooded?" When did this happen? ”

The old man said, "Not long, half a month ago." ”

"Half a month ago?" An Qiqi was even more shocked, "Hearing you say this, the disaster must be very serious?" ”

The old man wiped his tears and said, "Childe doesn't know, the walls of Fengcheng have been soaked in water, and countless people have died." ”

An Seventeen's complexion changed greatly, and he turned his head to look at Hua Yan.

Hua Yan also hit the horse at this time, shook the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and looked at the old man, "Uncle, you said that half a month ago, Fengcheng was flooded?" The dead are innumerable, but what about the living? How is it arranged? ”

The old man looked at An Seventeen, and then at Hua Yan, the faces of the two were dressed up, and at first glance they were the sons and daughters of the rich and noble families, and he said with tears in his eyes, "The officials have all run away, who else cares?" The dead die, and the living find their way to live. ”

Hua Yan was suddenly solemn, "As far as I know, isn't Yuqiu County flooded?" Why did Fengcheng also suffer from the flood? ”

The old man said, "It's true that Yuqiu County was flooded, but in fact, the first to be flooded was Fengcheng, and seeing that Fengcheng was about to be flooded, an order was issued from above to open the gate and drain the water, and the water was led away, which washed Yuqiu County." ”

Hua Yan's face sank, "Why is the water so fierce?" Where does the water in Fengcheng come from? ”

The old man said, "Half a month ago, the heavy rain continued, the Heilong River embankment burst, and the water surged to Fengcheng. ”

Hua Yan pursed her lips, "In other words, the ultimate source is because of the Black Dragon River?" ”

The old man nodded, "So to speak." ”

Hua Yan asked, "Uncle just said that there was an order from above?" Who gave the order? ”

The old man wiped his tears and said, "I heard that it is the prince of the East Palace." ”

"Nonsense!" Hua Yan was furious, "How could the prince of the East Palace give such an order?" Fengcheng County is his people, Yuqiu County is also his people, Fengcheng County is flooded, Yuqiu County is flooded, they are all flooded. ”

The old man was shocked by Hua Yan's anger, his body trembled, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Hua Yan suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Who did the old man listen to?" ”

The old man looked at Hua Yan, his face was pale and trembled, "I don't know who the girl is?" ”

Hua Yan knew that she had frightened the old man just now, her face softened slightly, and she said softly, "My brother is on an errand in the East Palace, and he has something to do with the East Palace, I have never heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given such an order, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only known about the flooding of Yuqiu County, and does not know about the flooding of Fengcheng." ”

The old man was stunned and said, "It's all said so, and the little old man doesn't know who said it, in short, the girl asks someone casually, and it's all like this." After the words fell, he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right to order people to drain Yuqiu County for the several cities below Baofeng City." ”

Hua Yan suppressed her anger, and was just about to speak, when a pair of officers and soldiers came in front of her, about forty or fifty people, and the two of them saw the old man in rags, and immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

The old man was startled, and hurriedly dragged his little grandson back, but after all, he was old and his movements were not good, so he sat on the ground instead.

The two soldiers could not help but say something, and they were about to rudely pull him up.

Hua Yan glanced at An Seventeen.

An XVII stepped forward, drew his sword to stop the two soldiers, and asked with a cold eyebrow, "Why are you arresting people?" ”

When the two soldiers saw the bright sword, they couldn't help but retract their hands, took a step back, and looked at Hua Yan and An Qiqi like young ladies who were out playing in a rich family, and one of them said, "He committed a crime, and our master has a life, so he was arrested and imprisoned pending trial." ”

"Which of you lords is you? What did he do? An Seventeen asked.

One of them said, "Our lord is the county guard of Zhaoyuan, so don't ask too much, and don't interfere, it's not good for you." ”

The old man said with a white face, "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything...... Childe save me......"

An Qiqi held his sword steadily, looked at the two soldiers coldly, and then looked at the dozens of soldiers who followed, one of whom was in his thirties, with a beard, and was obviously the leader.

The man led the person to the front, glanced at An Qiqi and Hua Yan, and when he saw Hua Yan's face, he couldn't help but show a look of amazement, secretly thinking how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

Hua Yan was angry at this time, and her face was not good-looking, and when this person looked at it, she looked back sharply. Her eyes have always been clear and bright, and she rarely has a sharp time, but now when she sees these people coming up and arresting people, she has already guessed a thing or two, so her eyes are like a sharp sword.

The leader in his thirties was suddenly swept away by Hua Yan's eyes, as if a sharp knife pierced his eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and quickly removed his eyes.

Hua Yan said coldly, "This old man went to the capital from Fengcheng to join his relatives, and he hasn't arrived in Zhaoyuan yet, I want to know, why did he make a mistake?" ”

The man immediately said, "Girl, don't meddle with your business. ”

Hua Yan smiled angrily, "I still like to be nosy." ”

The man's complexion changed, and he could already see that Huayan was not a good match, but seeing that there was only An Seventeen beside her, the two of them were obviously dressed as Miss Gongzi of a rich and noble family.

So, with a wave of his hand, he said behind him, "Take this old man and the child with me." ”

The soldiers in the back stepped forward with a hula and were about to snatch people from An XVII's sword.

An Seventeen was not polite, waved a sword, he only swept lightly, and three or four people came up with a blood mark on their arms, he didn't kill people, but he also wanted to let them not dare to step forward again when they saw blood.

The leader saw that An Seventeen's sword had injured the three or four people he had brought with him, and his face was really shocked, it seemed that he was a ruthless man, he said, "Dare to ask who the son and the young lady are?" Under the orders of my master, do you two know my master? My lord is the brother-in-law of the military department. ”

Hua Yan narrowed her eyes, "Oh? "Your lord is also the county guard of Zhaoyuan?" Zhao De? ”

The leader saw that Hua Yan could be famous, and quickly nodded, "Exactly." ”

Hua Yan glanced behind her, they had just left the city, less than ten miles away, and the county seat was Zhaoyuan County, and she didn't mind going back.

So, she showed a smile, "This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and I don't know the family." My grandmother had a very close relationship with Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and it stands to reason that she should visit your master. When the words fell, she said, "Please lead the way." ”

When the man heard this, he was overjoyed, looked at the ancestors and grandsons who were protected by An Seventeen Swords, and asked tentatively, "What about this old man and ......the child?"

Hua Yan looked at An Seventeen, "Take it!" ”

An Seventeen understood, put away the sword, stretched out his hand to pull up the old man, and said in his ear, "Uncle, don't be afraid, my sister and I are protecting you." ”

The old man's body trembled, and he didn't know what he had done, but if it weren't for Hua Yan and An Seventeen, he and his grandson would have been taken away at this time, and now he could only believe what he said, and reluctantly nodded and said, "Childe, I really didn't commit anything." ”

An Qiqi said "um", "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here, since the old man has not committed anything, don't be afraid." When the words fell, he shouted to the cars and horses parked in the distance, "Sixteenth brother, my sister is going to Zhaoyuan County Shoufu to recognize her relatives, let's go." ”

An Sixteen responded, "Okay." ”
