Chapter 173: The Floods in the South of the Yangtze River
Ling Yunfei saw the change in Ling Ruoyi's expression, and couldn't help but feel his heart twitch. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately said lightly, "Sister, is there something on the prince's side?" ”
"It was the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of people were displaced, and the disaster was very serious." Ling Ruoyi frowned and said.
"What? Jiangnan floods? Every year, the emperor allocates money to build embankments to prevent floods. It must be those corrupt officials who cut corners to make it like this. ”
"Yes, so the emperor sent the prince to take the silver two to the disaster relief, and asked us to change our route and not go to Jiangnan first."
"My sister is worried about the prince." Ling Yunfei said what Ling Ruoyi was thinking.
Yes, not long after getting married, he was arrested by the emperor on an errand, and of course he was the most worried about his husband. I really don't know what the officials around Emperor Yuchen are raised, why do they look for King Qi and the Ling family whenever there is something, as if the Ling family and the Qi Wangfu owe him.
"Yes, flooding can take a toll and now that the weather is getting warmer, many germs can easily grow. Therefore, I want to divide into two ways with you, you take some people to the direction of Yecheng, and I take Bingyu, Mengchun and Mu'er to Jiangnan together. ”
"No, what if something happens to my sister, now that the flood is serious, it is inevitable that someone will take this opportunity to poison him, even if King Rui cares about his sister and will not do anything to hurt his sister, but it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not."
"Cloud Flying ......"
"Sister, I know you're worried about the prince, in this way, my sister and I will take Bingyu, Mengchun and Mu'er to Jiangnan, and let Feiying and Shenying take Sixia, Panqiu and Zuidong to Yecheng first, fortunately, the prince has a jade family in many places, and Uncle Ming will take care of them."
"Well, for now, that's all there is to it." Ling Ruoyi spoke slowly. Although people are still in Licheng, their hearts have flown to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan Rain City.
Yucheng, because it is close to the Jiangchun River, is the most abundant city in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangchun River is an important river that runs through the waterway of Yunshang country. If the Jiangchun River bursts, it will not be a trivial matter. The flood in the south of the Yangtze River this time is because of the heavy rain that has fallen in Yucheng for seven days in a row, which makes the Jiangchun River more powerful than the tide in previous years.
When Ling Ruoyi and his entourage arrived at Yucheng, they saw corpses all over the field and hungry people all over the streets. When the victims saw a convoy or a caravan of horses passing by, they would gather around and ask for some food. Ling Ruoyi and his entourage were naturally among the targets of those victims.
Seeing these victims, Ling Ruoxuan instructed Mu'er and Mengchun to distribute all the dry food they brought to the victims, but the monks had more porridge and less porridge, although the dry food they brought had increased several times, but along the way, most of the dry food they brought had been distributed, and when they arrived outside Yucheng, they had just distributed the remaining dry food to the victims, and more victims would flock to it.
Ling Ruoyi and his entourage were surrounded by the victims for a while, Ling Yunfei and Bingyu, no matter how good their martial arts were, they couldn't do anything to these helpless people, so they could only try their best to stop them.
Rain City Station. The remnant wind walked briskly towards the study where King Qi was.
"Lord Wang." The remnant wind didn't care about the report, and walked straight into the study. In the study, King Qi and the officials of Yucheng and Zhudian and Lei Ming were discussing disaster relief, and when they saw the reckless intrusion of the remnant wind, although they knew that there was an urgent government announcement, they couldn't go straight to the study without being reported.
"What's the matter?" King Qi asked directly.
"Back to the prince, someone came to report that twenty miles outside the city, there was a group of people and horses besieged by the victims, it is said that the ...... Among the men......"
"How's that team?" King Qi seemed to have sensed something, and his heart tightened.
"Lord Wang, among that team of people, it seems that there are princesses and kings of Anjun." Remnant Wind told the news he had gotten.
"What? Didn't this king tell her not to come to Jiangnan, why did she still come. King Qi said a little angrily. Now that the floods are serious and there are many people, how can they beat the victims. What do you want him to do if something happens?
"Lord, maybe the princess didn't receive the letter from the prince. Maybe the person outside the city is not the princess, the prince please wait in the medical hall, and his subordinates will go to investigate. ”
"No, this king will go with you." King Qi said in a firm tone.
"Lord Wang, your status is precious, and you can't live without you here." The remnant wind reassured. He knows very well the importance of the princess in the eyes of the prince, but if the prince is asked to let go of the victims for the sake of the princess now, he will definitely be criticized by the world. For the sake of the prince's reputation, he can't let the prince do this.
"You get out of the way of this king, this king can't let something happen to Yi'er." King Qi said coldly.
"Lord, perhaps, that person is not a princess, even if it is a princess, there are King Anjun and Bingyu by the princess's side, they will definitely protect the princess unharmed." The remnant wind said bitterly. Today, even if the prince kills him, he can't let the prince leave the post station, if the people are violent. move, someone took the opportunity to secretly kill the killer, so the prince ......, and the remnants didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, a familiar figure stepped in.
"Yi'er......" King Qi said happily. stepped forward and hugged Ling Ruoyi into his arms, as if he was afraid of losing the treasure.
"Lord, the concubine is fine." Ling Ruoxuan said softly.
"Didn't the king say that he wouldn't let you come? Why is it still here? King Qi reproached. But there was still more concern than blame in the tone.
"The concubine is worried about the prince, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and there will definitely be many people displaced and homeless. And the flood will inevitably cause some diseases, and the concubine came at the right time. Ling Ruoyi made excuses for his disobedience.
"You, just now this king heard that you and Yunfei were besieged by the victims, do you know that this king's heart is about to jump out?" King Qi said as he put Ling Ruoyi's hand on his heart, making the other party feel his worries and concerns.
"The concubine knows that the prince is worried, since he has come, the prince can't drive the concubine away, although the concubine doesn't know much, but there are many people and great power, and the concubine is willing to do something for the people."
"Okay, since you're here, let's stay at the inn obediently." King Qi commanded in a blank tone.
Hearing this, Ling Ruoyi pouted with pink red lips and a look of grievance, which made people really want to bite hard. However, this is in front of other officials, and it is eternal that men love face, especially men who are as protective as King Qi and love face even more.
"Okay, then the prince must be careful." Ling Ruoyi lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to her eyes.
Such an obedient and well-behaved Ling Ruohui has attracted King Qi to be more pity, usually, the two will have quarrels because of disagreements, and she is also a defeated general under her mouth, but today's appearance of this little daughter's family is really ......
King Qi thought about it, he was now in the post station, and there were local officials and subordinates around him, thinking that Yi'er would be so well-behaved, but also to save face. Thinking of this, King Qi's heart couldn't help but rise a trace of sweetness.
"Okay, let's rest in the room first, this king still needs to deal with government affairs here." King Qi said softly.
"Yes." Ling Ruoyi's respectful King Chaoqi blessed his body, and then walked towards the backyard with the three girls.
King Qi watched Ling Ruofei's figure disappear from his sight, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Yunfei leaning against the door, looking like he was watching a good show. Then he suddenly realized: "Yunfei, are you here too?" ”
Ling Yunfei looked like he couldn't cry or laugh, he had been here for a long time, and he had witnessed someone showing affection, how did he find out about his existence, could it be that he had no sense of existence.
"I came a long time ago, but the prince's heart is not on Yunfei, so I can't see Yunfei's existence."
"If you don't come in the door, what are you doing standing at the door?" King Qi said with an innocent face. As if to say to everyone, this doesn't matter about the king's business, it's not that the king ignores him Ling Yunfei, it's that he hid himself and didn't let the king see it.
"Okay, it's all Yunfei's fault, Yunfei should salute the prince first." After that, he was about to make a salute, King Qi stepped forward to support Ling Yunfei, and said with a light smile: "Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite." ”
"Hey, hey, I know that the prince loves the house and Wu, and he is reluctant to kneel down Yunfei." Ling Yunfei laughed.
"It's good to know." King Qi also said with a smile.
This made the officials watching the play on the side embarrassed, these two people, one is the prince and the other is the prince of the county, the other is the emperor's younger brother, and the other is the concubine of Lixia Kingdom, and the relationship between the two is still the brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Naturally, there is no need to be polite, who let himself not have that life, can have a daughter or sister who can get into the eyes of the prince.
"Yunfei, did you just encounter a siege of disaster victims outside the city?" This is what King Qi is most worried about.
"Yes, my sister saw that the victims were pitiful, so she asked us to distribute all the dry food we brought to the victims, but more victims rushed over and blocked our way."
"And how did you escape?" King Qi was very curious, besieged by the victims, there were few of them, and most of them did not know martial arts, so it was not easy to easily break out of the predicament.
"My sister said that she was just a doctor who traveled through Yucheng to purchase medicinal materials, but seeing that the victims were displaced, the medicinal materials must be more scarce than food, and then she treated several victims who were already sick, and those victims thanked my sister for her kindness, so they followed us back to the city, and now they are all living in the broken temple in the north of the city."
"Well, very well, can you separate the sick victims from the healthy ones?"
"Lord Wang, please rest assured, according to my sister's instructions, I will separate the victims in the main hall and the side hall of the broken temple."
"Yes, that's good."
"Lord, I see that there is already a non-stop soup kitchen outside the post station, the food in this city can last everyone for two months at most, if the supply is not timely, I am afraid that the victims will be violent. Kinetic. ”
"Yes, when this king came, he had already brought some of the grain, and the follow-up grain was also on the way, so I just hope that it will arrive as scheduled."
"Well, then what do I need to do, the prince just tells me."
"This king wants to set up a few more porridge shacks in the city, and you bring the electricity, the residual wind and thunder, and the king and the local officials are each responsible for a porridge shack, so that the victims can eat in time and reduce crowding."
"Yes, everything is subject to the arrangement of the prince." Ling Yunfei arched his hand.
"Well, if you agree with this king, then you will do so from tomorrow." After finishing speaking, King Qi calmly looked at the officials in Yucheng.
Most of the officials in Yucheng were from King Qi, so they naturally obeyed King Qi's command, and then said in unison: "Everything obeys the orders of the prince." ”
In the backyard of the post station, Ling Ruoyi is also boiling decoction in a large pot, these are all to prevent epidemics, cure diseases when there is disease, and prevent herself from disease, this is also what she, Princess Qi, can do at present.
