"Click!"

Above the dome, lightning slashed one after another, and the reflection between the heavens and the earth was as bright as day.

At this time, in the Chaisang area of Jiujiang County, the flood swelled and spread in all directions, inundating large areas of farmland and houses.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the local government has already issued an order to fight the flood and rescue the emergency.

Seeing that the water was swelling and spreading, people were already running towards the heights.

In the area of Jiujiang and Yuzhang, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and sometimes there is no way for the flood to invade.

It's just that in this hurry, the displaced Li Shu could only drag his family to hide on the high mountains and hills, looking at the water in the sky, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ruined!

Everything is ruined!

Their homes have been swallowed up by the flood and reduced to nothing!

The situation is even more critical now than that they have been trapped in the mountains, and if they are not rescued in time, they will definitely starve to death......

Fortunately, the government has dispatched a large number of soldiers, officials, and soldiers to participate in flood fighting and rescue matters.

Under the command of officials from all over the country, soldiers wearing crimson battle suits, and even shirtless soldiers, rowed small boats or drove war boats to rescue Li Shu, who was persecuted by the flood one after another.

After sending them to safety, the rations sent by the logistics supply team can also temporarily feed the victims.

Qingji, who was really not at ease, took the building boat and came to the disaster area near Lushan.

As far as the eye can see, there are raging floods everywhere, mercilessly devouring houses and farmland......

"Quick!"

"Plug it!"

"Don't stop!"

After coming to the top of Lushan, the soldiers of the Wu army, who had already unloaded their armor, had already used shovels to dig up soil and put it into sacks.

Then, bags after bags of dirt, sand and gravel were all sent to the river embankment to block the rushing flood water little by little.

The rain was still falling from the sky, mercilessly hitting everyone's face.

Natural disasters are merciless, and people are merciful.

Qingji was also embarrassed when he saw this scene.

"King, Jinling urgent!"

Heifu, who was following aside, handed a report to Qingji.

Through the dim light, Qing Ji glanced at it at a glance.

This urgent report came from Kongqiu.

said that it was an urgent report, but in fact, it was just a recital for Confucius to intercede for his disciples.

Just as Qingji guessed, in this catastrophic flood, there is indeed another hidden story about disobeying the king's order.

How could Zeng Dian have the courage to disobey the king's orders?

No way!

Is this a capital crime, or a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, how dare Zeng Dian break it?

Therefore, the ins and outs of this matter are that Zeng Dian did refuse to demolish the river embankment in advance and introduce the flood water into Lujiang County, and then after receiving Qingji's edict, Zeng Dian was ready to lead people to dig the river embankment......

But, it's too late!

In the case of the flood bursting the embankment, the danger was serious, and most of the officials in the three counties of Wu County, Jiujiang County, and Yuzhang County could not escape the blame.

This greatest responsibility is none other than Zeng Dian.

Therefore, the officials of Jiujiang County and Yuzhang County are all ***, impeaching Zeng Dian, and putting the responsibility on Zeng Dian.

"So, Lujiang County has already dug up the embankment?"

"Exactly."

Qingji bowed slightly.

If this happens, we can guarantee to the greatest extent that the flood disaster will not expand further.

……

The torrential rain and light rain that lasted for more than 30 days finally stopped, and the disaster situation in Yuzhang County and Jiujiang County of Wu State was alleviated.

This is all due to the flood fighting and rescue work in Wuguo, and the demolition of the river embankment in Lujiang County, so that the flood water is further washed downstream.

The sky has cleared, and the sun is mild

The light shines on everyone.

The soldiers and soldiers of Wu, who were already tired and out of breath, were already lying on the ground exhausted, and some of them had fallen asleep deeply.

After several sleepless battles day and night, I can't stand it anymore.

They lay naked on the ground and fell asleep......

Each soldier was soaked in mud and disgraced, but in the eyes of the victims, this was undoubtedly a group of "the loveliest people".

If it weren't for these Wu soldiers fighting day and night, without the flood fighting and rescue edict issued by Qingji, and the timely dispatch of warships, civilian ships, and food, I really don't know how many people would have drowned and starved to death!

In this regard, Qingji's heart was embarrassed.

He personally came to the disaster area to express his condolences to the officers and men of the Wu Army who fought the flood and rescued them, as well as the victims who suffered a lot.

At this moment, whether it was a Wu person, a Chu person, or even a "southerner" in the past, the mood was the same.

"The King's ......"

A soldier of Wu who was originally leaning against the sack and gnawing on dry food couldn't help but burst into tears and cry his nose after seeing Qingji.

Qingji stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, supported him who was about to get up and salute, and said with a kind look, "Thank you for your hard work."

"The king, the villain...... The villain is not hard!"

received Qingji's condolences, and this Wu soldier's body seemed to be full of energy!

In this regard, Qingji just smiled slightly.

After going around this group of Wu soldiers, Qing Ji bowed to them with a solemn expression and said, "Second and third sons, widows, on behalf of all the disaster victims, on behalf of Wu Guo, thank you!"

"Wu Guoyou is waiting for you, it's really amazing!"

"Long live the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Guo!"

Everyone cheered up, and the mountains shouted and the tsunami shouted.

Qingji caught a glimpse of a more familiar soldier, squinted his eyes, stepped forward to look at him, and asked, "Are you ......?"

"The villain sees the king!"

With a pair of black circles under his eyes, his whole body covered in mud, and the young soldier with a gray face knelt down towards Qingji with tears in his eyes and kowtowed.

"Wu Xi, is it really you?"

Qingji didn't expect it either.

This young man is none other than Wu Xi, the second son who was exiled by Qingji back then!

Back then, Gongzi Xi, who was only ten years old, was stubborn by nature, not only deceived Qingji, but also beat his brother Gongzi Fan, which made Qingji realize that Gongzi Xi was difficult to discipline, so he banished him......

It's been six years!

However, although Qingji exiled Wu Xi, he did not remove him from the genealogy.

Gongzixi wants to survive alone and support himself outside, which is not ordinarily difficult.

Fortunately, Qingji did not completely give up on Wu Xi.

He did not allow Gongzixi to claim to be the son of King Wu outside, and became a concubine, and without Qingji's order, Gongzixi was not allowed to enter Jinling City for half a step for the rest of his life......

This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing for the young Gongzixi.

Over the years, Qingji has been sending people to protect Gongzixi in secret, but the latter doesn't know it.

Regarding what Gongzi Xi has experienced over the years, Qingji has more or less understanding.

The sixteen-year-old Gongzi Xi is said to have started a family and gave birth to a big fat boy, who joined the army not long ago......
