Ouyang narrowed his eyes: "Is there something else to do with the prefect?" ”

"Nope! No! Sima Shulin immediately said, wiped away the cold sweat on his face, and retreated out distressedly.

Ouyang Yu glanced at his back, pulled out a smile coldly, and then said to Liu Jun: "You send the rice grain to Xiahe City first!" After that, people are organized to decimeter. ”

"Yes."

When Chen Zhurong learned of this, his eyes were cold, and he asked Leng Feng: "How could Brother Seven Princes suddenly be like this, is this helping Sima Shulin?" ”

Thinking that Ouyang Yu's previous credit in Xiguancheng was given to the prince seven points, Chen Zhurong clenched his hands.

Leng Feng shook his head and said, "It's not." The prince once said that whoever gets the Holy Maiden will be able to get the support of the Ouyang family. But now, the saint is dead, and he does not hesitate to hand over the Iron Cavalry to return to the fiefdom...... It should be observing, and the best should be followed. Moreover, the statement given by the king is that the disaster silver is embezzled, which will definitely lead to the lack of food sent over, so it was purchased in Nanhe City and sent to Xiahe City for emergency relief. ”

Chen Zhurong pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him get involved in Sima Shulin's case." ”

"Yes."

"Also, get everything ready, and start moving when we leave the day after tomorrow, and we won't allow the slightest mistake!"

Leng Feng said: "Yes! Subordinates obey the master's orders! ”

After Chen Zhurong went back, he tried it, and sure enough, as Leng Feng said, he gradually felt at ease. On the day of departure, Sima Shulin personally sent them out and asked with a smile: "Eighth prince, there is absolutely no corruption of disaster money in the lower officials!" You've been here for a few days, you should have figured it all out. ”

"I didn't find anything." Chen Zhurong hooked the corners of his lips, glanced at him, then stepped on the horse, and said coldly, "It's just that it will be very difficult to find out in a few days, and when this prince solves the flood in Xiahe City, he will come back to carefully investigate!" ”

With that, he whipped away.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yu also patted the horse's belly and ran on the road. The rest of the people followed.

On the other side, Chen Ling ran all the way, and the closer he got to Xiahe City, the more refugees there were on the way.

Before they could reach Lower River City, they were blocked from their way, and a large wave of water rushed towards her in front of them, and they could only see the vague gate in the distance.

She dismounted, pulled the nearest woman and asked, "This aunt, I want to ask how to get to River City here?!" ”

"Downriver City?" The woman looked at them suspiciously, "What are you doing there?" I advise you not to go, for it will not be long before the flood will wash away the land!" ”

Chen Ling's eyes widened in fright: "So serious? ”

"Not really!" The woman continued, "Look at us, we are all fleeing from the city of Lower River! It's been raining for more than a month! ”

Hearing this, Chen Ling paused, and then asked, "Then do you know how to get to Xiahe City?" ”

"Are you really going?" The woman looked at him suspiciously, her appearance was extraordinary, and her dress was even more gorgeous, "The prefect has let us come out for refuge, and you don't go!" ”

"No way!" Chen Ling turned his mind and made up a reason, "I have a close friend who went to Xiahe City to dredge the river, and this time I came to assist him!" ”

A few days ago, some officials who are proficient in water conservancy came to Xiahe City, but the heavy rain continued, the embankment was washed away, and there was a mudslide blocking the river on one side. Those high-ranking officials all had sad faces and suggested that the prefect evacuate the crowd.

But if someone goes to save the city, wouldn't it be better if they could really dredge the water conservancy!

Thinking of this, the woman stopped admonishing them, but told them in detail how to enter the city. Chen Ling took out some dry food and thanked him, and then led the people to climb the highest mountain next to him, and then went up a little more to the mountainside, and sure enough, he saw that the city gate of Xiahe City was in front of him, and he jumped directly into the city gate when he went down the mountain.

Xiahe City is built along the mountain with the water, mostly built at the foot of the mountain, due to the flood at the two ends of the three years, it gradually moved to the middle of the mountain, and then the network will have to be accompanied by tigers and wolves, which is very unsafe.

This time, due to the severe blockage, the flood washed away all the villages at the foot of the mountain, even the villages a little lower than the mountainside, and the mudslides that often accompanied the flooding caused Xiahe City to suffer a catastrophe that had not been seen in 50 years.

When Chen Ling arrived in Xiahe City, the streets of the city were full of embarrassed peasants, and there were people guarding the mansion in front of them, but no one came out inside.

Seeing Chen Ling and the others suddenly appear, the catchers from Xiahe City immediately came over and asked them, with a fierce and vicious look: "Who are you?" ”

Chen Ling said to him: "My name is Chen Ling, and I am the guest of the Seventh Prince Ouyang Yu, I want to come here to see if I can help him?" ”

They have naturally heard of the name of the Seventh Prince, and they have always been a hero worshipper, and as soon as they heard that it was his guest, they immediately welcomed people to the Yafu.

The prefect happened to be absent at this time, so he asked them to wait for a while, drank a cup of tea and another cup, and finally waited for Li Yun, the prefect of Xiahe City, at dusk.

Li Yun glanced at the slightly shorter and handsome beautiful young man sitting on the side, and said politely, with a gentle and elegant appearance: "Chen Gongzi is here, this official has lost his welcome, I hope you don't mind." I don't know, why did Chen Gongzi come here? ”

Chen Ling also replied: "I'm just here to observe one or two first, and the Seventh Prince will come over in a few days, first, to help the Eighth Prince solve the flood, and secondly, to do some good things when he is idle and bored." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he returned to normal, stroked his beard and said, "This official has thanked Chen Gongzi and the Seventh Prince in advance!" To tell you the truth, the flooding of the river is ...... It can't be solved, it is not relieved, but it is more serious because of the continuous rain! The official has already asked the people to take refuge in Xihe City. Eh, I'm afraid it's going to change! ”

In the past, it rained in April and fell heavily in May. This year, it rained in February, and it continued in March until mid-April! A month and a half of heavy rain poured down, the river embankment collapsed, and the water became even more severe.

Walking around in the south, Chen Ling naturally experienced this continuous rainy day, but the rainfall in those cities was much smaller than that of Xiahe City, and because it was in the upper reaches, there were minor disasters and no major disasters.

"How many people are left in the city?" Chen Ling asked.

Li Yuandao was slightly stunned, and then said truthfully: "There are more than 100,000 yuan, either the family has no money to go out and can't live, or the family is disabled and can't escape, and some strong men are forced to stay by the officials, in order to dredge the waterways with the water conservancy officials one after another." ”

Chen Ling frowned, he didn't think that so many people would remain here after the official call for people to flee, and asked, "Then how much food is left here?" ”
