Chapter 248: The Flood Arrives
"Lin Gongzi, Tianxiang thank you for saving your life, this is a special pearl brought by the little girl from the Yuan Shang Alliance, please smile." In the city guard mansion of Tongxin, Lin Yu and Yu Fengyi sat opposite each other to discuss, but they didn't want to be interrupted by Xie Tianxiang's words.
Since that night after the burning of the Prayer Heaven Treasure Temple, Lin Yu, who had planned to avoid its edge first, was stopped by Yu Fengyi, and then lived in the palace of the city guard, during which the entire palace was surrounded by three hundred forbidden troops, plus the factory guards and the nearby defenders temporarily recruited by Yu Fengyi, even a fly would not want to fly into the palace......
Xie Tianxiang and Xiaocui woke up on the second day, and after seeing it in Langzhong, except for being injured by the internal force of Buddhism, there was nothing else important. After two days of recuperation, Xie Tianxiang was already able to get out of bed and walk.
"Hehe, Miss Xie is kind and sincere, rescuing the girl is just a gesture, please don't worry. Lin Yu waved his hand and pushed back the pearl handed over by Xie Tianxiang, and Yu Fengyi, who was watching it, inhaled frequently. Lin Yu may not know the preciousness of the pearls in Xie Tianxiang's hand, but he knows it well, and what the other party is holding in his hand is the best imperial pearl with an annual output of absolutely no more than ten.
According to legend, this kind of pearl ranks among the top of the nine products, only in the only river of the Yuan Shang Alliance, and there are only a few mussel kings in this river, and these mussel kings have to be separated by several years each time they produce pearls, and once the pearls are produced, the mussel king will enter a long dormant period, and it will only be produced again when it wakes up again.
Therefore, this kind of pearl that does not need to be polished by hand is as flawless as a teardrop, and it is called an imperial pearl, and only the real emperor is qualified to have it......
Although Yu Fengyi knew that Xie Tianxiang was the most profitable Tianzi killer in the first fort, he didn't expect that this extremely precious imperial pearl would appear in Xie Tianxiang's hands, and she would give it away......
Xie Tianxiang still held the pearl in both hands, completely ignoring Yu Fengyi on the side, as if he didn't know him at all, if ordinary people looked at her eyes full of expectation, I am afraid that they would never have the idea of refusal.
It's a pity that she met Lin Yu, an outlier who was not interested in her, so no matter how pretentious Xie Tianxiang was, she was rejected by Lin Yu after all, and even asked someone to send her back to the room under the pretext of her health, which made Xie Tianxiang secretly scold Lin Yu in her heart for not knowing the goods......
"The Seven Treasures of Buddhism, Tridacnus, Agate, Crystal, Coral, Amber, Pearl, Musk, According to legend, pearls are the tears of the Buddha, whether they are worn or ground into medicine, there are great benefits, why does Lord Lin repeatedly shirk?" Yu Fengyi took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at Lin Yu. Since Xie Tianxiang should not recognize each other face-to-face, there must be a reason for it.
She was employed by Emperor Mingxuan in the first fort, and Lin Yu and others acted separately in the light and in the dark, it can be said that she was the second insurance to decisively get rid of the idea once Lin Yu and others did not do well, she was ordered to assassinate Situ Bao after killing Situ Xiarui, and was captured by the four masters of the Prayer Heaven Treasure Temple when she didn't want to step on it......
"Hehe, I didn't expect Yu Changtou to have such a study of Buddhism. It's a pity that I'm not a Buddhist, and I don't have any attainments in the mysterious and mysterious Buddhist scriptures, so I'm really not interested. Lin Yu stood up and looked at the north, thinking in his heart what Nangong Ming and the others were doing at this moment.
However, when he said the words just now, the marrow washing sutra that he had been practicing for the past few days suddenly popped up in his heart, saying that he was not interested in Buddhism, but he had been suppressing the blood killing two qi masses at the dantian by washing the marrow sutra, isn't it a contradiction for himself?
"Hehe, Lord Lin, but are you thinking about Xiangcheng?" Just when Lin Yu was thinking about it, Yu Fengyi suddenly asked.
"Hehe, although Lord Lin can rest assured, Lord Nangong is witty and calm, and with the assistance of the Dongfang family, there must be no mistakes, you and I still sit and wait for the change, and when they wave their troops south, it will be the day when we take action. ”
"That's all there is to it. Lin Yu sighed, although he said it, he still couldn't let go of it in his heart, and the worries about whether the prince of Ming Zheng would retaliate crazy a few days ago gradually faded with the tranquility of these days......
On this day, the sky in Xiangcheng seemed to be much darker than before, and the originally clear sky suddenly became stormy, and within a while, a violent wind suddenly rose, and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.
However, at this moment, in Xiangcheng, which is as dead and silent as an empty city, there are many soldiers and people who have not escaped standing on the city wall or rooftops, and they don't care about the pain of the torrential rain on their bodies, because the Qinjiang River has finally completely erupted since the sudden high tide a few days ago, and the loud noise just now is indeed the breaking of the flood control levee outside the city!
The turbulent waters of the Qinjiang River began to gush out frantically after finding the vent, and with the burst of the first embankment, the entire flood control levee burst one after another, and even the entire embankment collapsed later.
"Lord Governor, the flood will soon pour into the city, so please be careful. Gao Shun stood beside Nangong Ming and Dongfang Yao, looking at the flood that was rushing towards this side like thousands of troops at the end of his sight, and his heart kept praying that the city under his feet could survive this disaster.
"Jia Lian, the imperial court's disaster relief food is already on the way?" Dongfang Yao entered Xiangcheng with the grain that Dongfang Jia had transported this time the day before yesterday, and from the moment he stepped into this dilapidated city, he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether Bai Chongwen's calculation of the day was accurate or not, the thousands of loads of grain behind him should be immediately distributed to the hands of those people who had no time to flee, the sooner the better.
"My lord, the relief grain and grass arrived in the territory of Donghai Mansion this morning, and I think it will be transported to Marina City in two days. Jia Lian whispered to Dongfang Yao.
"Well, that's very good, where is Situ Jian from the Ministry of Engineering now?" Nangong Ming's face was calm, as if the flood that was coming in a blink of an eye could not shake his heart at all.
"He is on the western wall, and we have sent men to keep an eye on him. After Jia Lian finished speaking, he looked behind him, and his heart was also full of disdain for Situ Jian, who took people to hide in the city far away from the flood when the flood came.
According to the rules, the annual disaster relief grain and grass of the Great Qian Dynasty should be transported to the Fuyin of Donghai Province first, and after the handover is completed, the Fuyin will personally distribute it to the disaster-stricken areas. This also directly facilitates Yin Zekai's ghosting.
However, at this time, Binhai City, especially the Fu Yin Yanei, had already infiltrated the internal response of the factory guard, and once he grabbed Yin Zekai's handle, he must have to attack immediately. This gave Nangong Ming and Dongfang Yao time to help the people in the affected areas, and also made Yin Zekai relax his vigilance, boldly unpack the grain, and mix it with sand and gravel in order to empty the grain for hoarding.
"Order, all officers and soldiers in Xiangcheng must not leave their posts without permission, and once the flood water pours into the city, immediately organize a camp to relieve the victims. Nangong Ming coughed lightly and commanded Gao Shun, who was also full of anxiety on the side.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, even if you fight my old bones, you must save the people who are suffering. Gao Shun let out a sigh of relief, looking at the water that had gradually spread to the bottom of the city wall, it seemed that he was no longer in such a hurry as he was just now, and he still had to come after all......
"Gao Yan, the soldiers and brothers here are all up to you to supervise, and you must keep the safety of the people. Nangong Ming said a few words to Gao Shun, who had long lost his hippie smiling face on the side, and after the other party nodded vigorously, his figure jumped, and he took Dongfang Yao and Jia Lian towards the west of Xiangcheng quickly.
The earth trembled, and Gao Shun, who was standing on the city wall, was almost shaken down by the shaking wall even if he was prepared, looking at the look of fear on the faces of everyone under his command, his old face was even more determined......
Flooding of the Qinjiang River...... Finally poured into Xiangcheng......
"Woo, Mom!" Just as Nangong Ming stepped on the roof of the house and walked in the wind, a child's voice came into his ears.
Nangong Ming turned his head to look, only to see that the flood that broke through the city gate was the first to collapse the house closest to the east of the city, and the person standing in that house was naturally swept into the waves.
"Child, my child!" said a woman in the middle of the current, not caring to find something floating, but desperately flapping her body to get close to the child who was desperately crying out in the distance.
Nangong Ming suddenly changed his figure, jumped to the house not far from the child, and when the child's little head was about to sink into the water, he was hugged into his arms.
"Catch!" Nangong Ming threw the child towards Dongfang Yao on the roof next to him, and turned to the mother. Unfortunately, just as she saw the woman, a wave suddenly engulfed her. The corners of Nangong Ming's eyes froze, and the woman's grateful gaze before disappearing pierced deeply into his heart at that moment......
And the same scene was also staged one after another with the complete inflow of the flood, after Nangong Ming successively rescued several people who fell into the water to a relatively solid house, the defenders of Xiangcheng finally rowed a small boat over.
"Xiao Ming, Xiangcheng is so big, why are there hundreds of people who have fallen into the water, now that the defenders have arrived, don't delay the business!" Dongfang Yao grabbed Nangong Ming, who was about to go to save people, although he was also anxious in his heart, he had to say something to stop him.
"Damn! these moths, if it weren't for them, if it weren't for them!" Nangong Ming's silver teeth clenched, if it weren't for the scum of Yin Zekai and Situ Jian who were greedy for ink and disaster relief, then why would the flood control levee be so useless?
"Let's go! It's too late!" Dongfang Yao patted Nangong Ming, who was stunned on the spot, and as soon as his body moved, he immediately went to the west of the city, and Nangong Ming, who reacted, had to grit his teeth and follow, not finding the coldness of Dongfang Yao's dazzling eyes in front of him, facing the scene in front of him, Dongfang Yao's heart was hoping to get rid of the Situ Jian sent by the Ministry of Industry, as well as Yin Zekai behind him, and even the prince of Mingzheng.
This Donghai Mansion will eventually be included in his Dongfang family's sphere of influence!
