Although the prince didn't believe what she said, he also wanted her to die, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to move the camp to an open area far from the mountains and forests, and then tied up Huarong and hung her from a tree.

The hemp rope was rough, and it didn't take long for Hua Rong's wrist to be strangled with blood, but she was not afraid, and tried her best to persuade the prince: "Chenzhou is surrounded by mountains, once the ground moves, the sliding mountains will inevitably block the road and the river, can Your Highness send two people to wait outside Chenzhou first, and in case of a real incident, it is better to ask the court for help in time." ”

Hua Rong said it was true, and it was not difficult to send two personal soldiers outside to wait for the letter, so the prince agreed after a little thought.

Hua Rong licked her lips and continued: "The sliding rocks are very large, I don't know how long it will take to clean them up by manpower alone, and it takes a lot of gunpowder to explode to clean up and dredge, and now it's too late to go to other places to get gunpowder, but the quarries and places where firecrackers are made will have gunpowder all year round, can Your Highness find someone to collect gunpowder to a safe place?" ”

This matter is much more troublesome than sending a personal soldier to report the news, gunpowder is generally not easily handed over to others, if you want to take it, the momentum must be not small, the prince lives so big, and he has never been led by the nose like this.

Moreover, putting a large amount of gunpowder together is a very dangerous thing in itself, and if Hua Rong has other intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The prince didn't agree immediately, and looked at Hua Rong scrutinically: "Aren't you a rough maid from Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, how can you know this?" ”

This kind of thing only happens once in tens or even hundreds of years, and if you haven't read the historical records, ordinary people can't know so much.

"When the slave maid was young, she heard that Mr. Storyteller had told a lot of strange things in the Fengyue place, and found it interesting, so she wrote them down, and Mr. Storyteller said that the escape of snakes and rats was a bad omen, and it was a sign of natural disasters......"

"Presumptuous!"

The prince scolded loudly, thinking that Hua Rong was simply playing tricks on him, and the storytellers in Fengyue were all charlatans, and these people's words could be taken seriously?

"Someone, cut off her head for this palace!"

"Wait! The gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, since His Royal Highness has promised to wait until tomorrow's sunset, wouldn't it be a reversal to change the hexagram now? ”

Jiang Yunhua said something to stop him, and the prince frowned and glared at him: "She is obviously deceiving the palace with the words of the Jianghu Warlock, is Ah Yu interceding for her to use the entire Zhongyong Mansion as a guarantee for her?" ”

Jiang Yunhua had already seen that the prince and Xiao Mingyou had intimate actions, and the prince's hostility towards Jiang Yunyu was two points more, and he deliberately used the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion to suppress Jiang Yunqiu.

Jiang Yunhua retorted: "Before the agreed time has arrived, it cannot be determined that she is deceiving His Highness, if what she said is true, does His Highness want all the people of Chenzhou to bear the consequences for His Highness's face?" ”

Jiang Yunhua was very disappointed by what the prince did after he came to Chenzhou, Jiang Yunhua did not save face for him, and his words were straightforward and harsh.

The prince's face was suddenly ugly, and the atmosphere became tense, Xiao Mingyou spoke at this time: "Don't quarrel, everyone, it's all because the concubine is not good, it's because the concubine is too squeamish, if it weren't for the concubine being scared by the snake, His Royal Highness would not punish Miss Huarong, and he wouldn't have given birth to so many incidents." ”

Xiao Mingyou's eyes were red as she spoke, and she wanted to cry.

Seeing this, the prince's eyes flashed with a cold air, and he said coldly: "Since Ah Ha is willing to believe in his maidservant, then the matter of leading people to collect gunpowder will be handed over to Ah Ha to do personally, if nothing happens tomorrow, how to deal with this handmaid is also up to Ah Haw himself!" ”

"Good!"

Jiang Yunhua agreed without hesitation, and ordered four people from the prince's personal soldiers to accompany him, and before leaving, Jiang Yunhua came to Hua Rong and solemnly promised: "No matter what happens tomorrow, I will come back before sunset." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, Hua Rong reminded in a low voice: "Time is urgent, uncle may not be reliable, it should be faster to find Mo Gongzi for help." ”

“……”

After Jiang Yunqi left, the prince didn't embarrass Hua Rong anymore, but just let her hang on the tree, not giving her anything to eat or water to drink.

Hua Rong couldn't sleep, her body was so tired that she couldn't do it, and the next day her brain became muddy, I don't know how long it took, the officer and soldier in charge of guarding her scolded: "Be honest, what are you shaking?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole earth shook violently, everyone stood unsteadily, and the flowers hanging from the trees shook even more.

A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the mountain where they had hunted yesterday collapsed, and huge stones rolled down and covered the sky with dust.

Landslides and ground cracks......

The whole process only lasted a few breaths, but the beautiful mountains and rivers of Chenzhou had become dilapidated, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

After a while, several young ladies from the Yin Mansion began to cry.

The prince rushed out of the tent and came to Hua Rong, he stared at Hua Rong viciously for a long time, and finally ordered coldly: "Put her down for me!" ”

Hua Rong was thrown on the back of a pro-soldier's horse, and the prince left four pro-soldiers to protect Xiao Mingyou, so he led people back to the city.

Along the way, the sight was full of collapsed houses and injured people calling for help, but when they arrived at the city gate, they ran into Yin Huanchao.

Without waiting for the horse to stop, Yin Huanchao dismounted and pleaded guilty: "The official is late, please forgive your highness!" ”

Many people had gathered at the gate of the city, and the prince raised his hand and gave Yin Huanchao a whip: "Such a big thing happened, as the state capital of a state did not send people to save people, but came here, do you know that this is a dereliction of duty?" ”

"His Royal Highness is punished," Yin Huanchao confessed, and then said firmly, "The people must be saved, but the safety of His Highness is more important!" ”

These words are suspected of being sycophants, but they successfully made the prince lose his anger.

The prince did not punish Yin Huanchao again, and went directly to the yamen of the state capital, and many people fled to seek refuge outside the yamen.

The officials and the accompanying soldiers immediately stepped forward to protect them, but the prince was inevitably pushed several times.

When I finally entered the yamen, I saw a broken wall, and the gilded plaque hanging on the court also fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces.

Yin also stepped forward to persuade: "Your Highness, this time the ground movement has been seriously affected, and I am afraid that the city is not safe, so the lower officials should send someone to send His Highness back to Beijing first." ”

The prince glanced at Yin Huan coldly: "The people in the city are in dire straits, if you let this palace leave now, won't you let the people of the world laugh at this palace for being cowardly and incompetent?" ”

"Xiaguan doesn't mean that, Xiaguan is just ......"

The cry for help was still coming from outside the yamen, and the prince didn't want to listen to Yin Huanchao's defense, so he looked at the door and asked, "Where is Huarong?" ”

After a while, Hua Rong was brought into the court.

"From now on, you will follow Hongu, and you are not allowed to leave half a step!" The crown prince ordered in a deep voice, and after speaking, he looked at Yin Huanchao, "Lord Yin, tell me about your disaster relief measures." ”

Yin was still shocked in his heart, when did this little maid hug the prince's thigh and be allowed to listen to political affairs?
