Chapter 223 The City God's Temple Without Statues...
Xu Boqing drove the clouds in the air...
Soon out of the capital area, when he arrived in the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, he frowned slightly...
The Daimyo's Mansion is less than 1,000 miles away from Beijing, and the Fushan Weir bursts its embankment, except for the low-lying Yingtianfu, which is the most affected by floods...
Perhaps because of the disaster, the weather over the Daimyo's Mansion was a little muddy at this time, showing the appearance of a plague...
The geographical location is higher, the flood has receded, but the mud and muddy sand brought by the flood are still deposited, and the thick layer is like a swamp, exuding a pungent earthy smell...
In the low-lying areas, there are turbid flood waters, and you can even see some corpses soaked in the floodwaters.
The weather is dreary and the stench lingers...
The untreated corpses have become a breeding ground for maggots and flies, densely packed with disgusting sights.
And these flies and insects with a large number of germs fly to other places, and it is difficult to think of not having a plague, which is one of the reasons why 'there must be a great plague after a great plague'......
Xu Boqing covered his nose from time to time and lowered to take a look, and when he saw those piles of corpses, he spat out real fire and burned them all, which was supposed to accumulate some merit for himself.
He went around the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion for half a day...
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the Daimyo's Mansion is like this, what is the scene in Yingtianfu, where the flood is more serious?
After thinking about it, he didn't rush to Yingtianfu, but drove the cloud to the capital of the Daimyo's Mansion first...
Nearly half of the Daimyofu Prefecture was not affected, and the capital was one of them, so countless people fled to the area.
Whether it is dignitaries or poor villagers, in this flood, the value of their lives has been pulled to the same line, they are all disaster victims!
The face is yellow and thin, the clothes are ragged, and it is difficult to walk.
The governor of the Daimyo Prefecture was also a practical man, and he knew that if the victims of the disaster were put into the city, there would be chaos, so he set up temporary shelters outside the city for disaster relief.
In times of great distress, human nature is particularly fragile...
Many of the victims could not receive food rations, crying and begging for food, some received rations but were snatched away, shouting at the city guards who my father was, and some pushed and shoved and wanted to rush into the city.
In addition, there are also some bad luck on the outside...
At this time, the emperor of the Daimyo Mansion stood at the head of the city, listening to the retelling of his subordinates, lamenting with a sad face how difficult the people's livelihood was.
A day-trip to look at the victims below also sighed and asked: "My lord, nearly half of the counties in the palace have been affected by the disaster, and the casualties are incalculable, why has the court in this yang world not moved until now?" ”
"The Imperial Court?"
Pang Furong's expression was a little dazed when he heard this, and he shook his head and said: "The imperial court has just learned about the disaster, what can be done?" ”
His voice paused, and he said with emotion: "Besides, this time is no longer the same as in the past, Daliang has reached his twilight years, and it is unknown whether the current emperor will send someone to deal with the disaster after knowing it." ”
“……”
That day, you also knew that what your adults said was the truth, but I sighed and didn't know how to answer...
At this moment, they suddenly heard the phrase 'someone has taken over the handling of it'...
Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure in a moon-white robe on the top of the city.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
Pang Furong frowned and put one hand behind him, pinched the City Emperor Law Seal in his hand, and then asked, "Why do you want to eavesdrop on our conversation?" ”
"The contemptible surname is Xu, Xu Boqing..."
Xu Boqing arched his hand to show that he was not hostile, and then explained with a smile: "I just passed by here, and overheard the conversation between Pang Chenghuang and You Xun, not intentionally eavesdropping, and looking at Pang Chenghuang Haihan. ”
"Xu... Uncle... Clear ......"
Pang Furong frowned and muttered this name, faintly feeling a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...
"You know me?"
"I don't know..."
Xu Boqing shook his head, and then explained: "But when I was in the capital, I heard the Emperor of the City mention..."
"Yu Hongchang!"
Pang Furong Tong shrunk, and instantly thought of why he felt that the name 'Xu Boqing' was familiar!
A few months ago, when Yu Hongchang visited, he mentioned the matter of the capital, and also mentioned that he was running errands for a true immortal, and that true immortal was called 'Xu Boqing', and his legal name seemed to be 'Wheel King'.
The person in front of you...
Is it the true immortal mentioned by Yu Hongchang?
He didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly put away the City Emperor's Law Seal, and asked, "Dare to ask if the Wheel King is an immortal?" ”
“……”
Xu Boqing's face couldn't help but stiffen when he heard the name of 'Wheel King', and he explained with a smile: "That 'Wheel King' is just a nickname I said casually, and it can't be true..."
"It's really an immortal!"
Seeing him admit that he was the 'Wheel King', Pang Furong saluted with surprise and joy: "Pang Furong, the emperor of the Daimyo Mansion, has seen the immortals. ”
"Emperor Pang Cheng, don't be polite..."
Xu Boqing also returned the salute, and then said: "Shicai passed by here, and overheard Emperor Pang Cheng and Ri Youxun talking about the affairs of the imperial court, and Xu happened to know some court affairs. ”
He paused and explained: "The Great Liang Imperial Court has received the disaster the day before yesterday, and is currently dispatching disaster relief materials and manpower, and will come here for disaster relief in the near future. ”
"This ......"
Pang Furong was slightly stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect this true immortal to care about national affairs in the mundane, and after reacting, he complimented: "Daliang can have an immortal in one place, Daliang is very lucky, and the people are very lucky!" ”
"Emperor Pang Cheng praised it falsely..."
Xu Boqing only smiled and shook his head, but he didn't explain much, and said after a deep sigh: "This bother, Xu actually has a small matter to ask for. ”
"Immortals, please speak!"
When Pang Furong heard that the true immortals had something to ask for, his eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly said: "Although the little god's mana is small, as long as he can do what he can, he will not refuse!" ”
"Then thank you Pang Cheng Huang..."
Xu Boqing was not polite, and said with a sigh: "The person in charge of disaster relief this time is called Gu Jingyi, his character is noble, his ability is good, and he is also a clear stream of sand that is dedicated to the people, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. ”
His voice paused, and he added meaningfully: "There is a lot involved in disaster relief, and in terms of his temperament, he will inevitably offend some villains." ”
"Filth reigns, clear streams are hard to survive..."
Pang Furong nodded thoughtfully, and then asked cautiously, "What does the immortal mean?"
"Gu Jingyi and I have some cause and effect..."
Xu Boqing didn't spare much, and said bluntly: "He will come here soon, Xu has the cheekiness to ask Emperor Pang Cheng to take care of him secretly, don't let the villain and evil people harm his life." ”
"As it should be, as it should be!"
Pang Furong Zhengse said: "This kind of Qingliu celebrity can come to my Daimyo Mansion to preside over disaster relief, and it is also the blessing of all the people in my Daimyo Mansion, and the others dare not say that the little god will not let him be harmed by the villain's evil." ”
"Then thank you Pang Cheng Huang..."
Xu Boqing arched his hand with a smile, and then said: "Xu Mou's trip this time, I have to go to Yingtianfu and Jiangling Mansion upstream to have a look, so I will stay soon." ”
"Immortals, please..."
"Farewell..."
“……”
Pang Furong watched him ride away in the clouds, and his expression showed a bit of envy...
Seeing this, the day tour patrol beside him couldn't hold back his doubts anymore, and asked cautiously: "My lord, this is really the legendary true immortal?" ”
"What do you think?"
Pang Furong glanced at him and said, "Yu Hongchang's Chenghuang Temple was burned by him, if it wasn't for the timely begging for mercy, I am afraid that the yin body will be gone." ”
“……”
Xu Boqing drove the clouds out of the Daimyo's Mansion...
When he arrived in Yingtianfu, he couldn't help frowning.
With the blessing of the Heavenly Eye, he could vaguely see that a layer of gray-brown dead air seemed to be shrouded in the sky above Ying Tianfu, which was terrifying...
The territory of the Daimyo's Mansion is manifested, and it is a sign of plague;
And the territory of Ying Tianfu seems to be filthy even with mud, rocks and trees, and what appears is a complete image of dead silence!
'Why is this happening?' ’
Xu Boqing's brows twisted, and then he seemed to think of something, and walked towards Yingtian's capital with his cloud head.
Due to the low-lying geographical location, the floodwaters in most areas of Yingtianfu have not receded, and some villages can only faintly see the rooftops;
Some are completely submerged in murky water.
When he arrived at the capital of Yingtian, he realized that the once prosperous capital of Yingtian was like a water city at this time, and it was also a lifeless water city!
He fell from the clouds and stood on the wall...
Looking at the muddy water in the city, looking at the cloth floating on the water, benches, tables and chairs, all kinds of messy sundries, but I didn't see the corpses!
'There's weirdness!
’
His eyes moved slightly, and he muttered...
Although the geographical location of Yingtianfu is low-lying, the water is abundant and the grass is beautiful, suitable for farming, and the grain tax has always been able to rank in the top three in the Daliang Mansion, with a lot of grain and a lot of population.
According to the records of the West Factory, in the tenth year of Yonghe, there were more than 110,000 households recorded in the capital of Yingtian, and according to the calculation of only three or four people in each household, the resident population was about 400,000.
Fushan weir has been flooded for many years, coupled with the flood season, abundant rain and other reasons, the water potential is indeed fierce...
But there are more than 400,000 people in Yingtian's capital, and it is impossible for all of them to die, besides, even if none of these 400,000 people are spared, what about their corpses?
Could it be that they were all swept away by the flood?
Xu Boqing frowned, and searched the city by treading water, but Fu Yin's mansion turned around, and he didn't find a single corpse...
Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he used the Heavenly Eye to find the Chenghuang Temple in the capital of Yingtian.
The Temple of the Emperor is found...
However, there is no idol in the main hall of the temple!
