Chapter 143: In the rainy season, the Chu River bursts
Later, Xiao Jiuxi, who heard the rumors, was full of question marks.
What does it mean that the princess blessed the king and let the king be transferred?
He won money in the gambling house, relying on his own ingenuity and years of experience, right? I used to just tease them, so I never showed my real strength.
Now it's hard to come up with strength, but they say that they are surrounded by divine power, heh, it's really dog-eyed and low!
Xiao Jiuxi was 10,000 dissatisfied in his heart!
But before he could justify his name, an unexpected accident happened.
A few days ago, Li Yewu told him that he was worried that the arrival of the rainy season would affect the crops that had been stabilized so much.
No, it's a prophecy.
That night, everyone was awakened by several thunderbolts, and the rain poured down.
Xiao Jiuxi was about to turn over and continue sleeping, when Yige kicked his door and rushed in.
Xiao Jiuxi almost bounced, he grabbed the lake blue soft satin with one hand and touched the dagger under the pillow with the other, staring at the front with a wary face.
When he saw a song, the question marks in Xiao Jiuxi's eyes were about to burst out.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Master, the princess is going to Yuehua Village, hurry up and stop it!"
"What's crazy about her in such heavy rain?"
At this time, Xiao Jiuxi didn't have time to blame Yige for kicking open his door, he walked outside while putting on his coat.
Ichige also told him what had happened as he walked.
It all started with this rainstorm.
Heavy rain began to fall in the first half of the night, and after a few thunderstorms, one of the embankments of the Chu River burst.
A large amount of river water poured in, and all the rice that had been finally budded was soaked, and most of the villages in the western suburbs were flooded.
At this time, there was chaos in the western suburbs, and countless villagers were running outside.
At this time, the princess was planning to settle the rebellion in the western suburbs.
Xiao Jiuxi's brows twisted together: "What can she do if she is a pregnant woman!" I really think I'm a god!"
Xiao Jiuxi said and quickened his pace, there was a section of the road from his yard that had no corridor, Xiao Jiuxi didn't care about holding an umbrella and ran into the rain.
A song and a footstep, the master has always lived exquisitely, and today he will run into the rain for the princess, it seems that the master is really interested in the princess.
Thinking of this, Yige couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.
It wasn't until Xiao Jiuxi ran away that he chased after him.
At this time, Li Yewu had already taken care of everything and was about to go to the western suburbs, while the old housekeeper and Zicui were trying their best to stop it.
"Princess, you can't go over! You are no longer alone, you have to think about the little prince and the prince."
"Yes, Princess, your body has finally recovered, and all the work before the rain tonight will be in vain."
"The demonstration village was built by me, and I also dragged people to live there, and now the flood has burst the embankment and there are chaos and casualties, if I don't go over to preside over the overall situation, how can I be reasonable!"
"Even if you want to preside over the overall situation, it's me, you just stay at home."
Just when everyone didn't know how to reply, Xiao Jiuxi arrived.
His hair was wet with rain and a few strands sticking to his cheeks, and the contrast between his fair skin and splashed black hair was stark.
"I've been so embarrassed just by rushing from the courtyard, let alone from the palace. It is true that there is no other person in the city who can match your abilities, but don't forget that you are just an ordinary human in the face of nature, and your body cannot withstand the impact of the flood at all.
If you go, you will only leave no more generals in the rear, and then it will be truly irretrievable!"
Xiao Jiuxi's words were sonorous and powerful, leaving Li Yewu speechless.
She also knows that this is not the time to be hypocritical, compared to herself, Xiao Jiuxi is indeed more suitable to go to the front line.
At the end, Li Yewu nodded: "This time, I will do three things, first, evacuate the victims, second, open the drainage canal of the rice field to reduce the water level, third, find the embankment.
Plug the festering embankment with sacks of sand and mud!"
"Okay." Xiao Jiuxi nodded: "The second group stayed to protect the princess, and the rest of the people went to the western suburbs with me."
"Yes!"
The echoes of the entourage in the mansion resounded in the sky.
Soon Xiao Jiuxi took people out against the lightning and wind and rain.
Until Xiao Jiuxi had disappeared, Li Yewu was still restless, pacing in the living room while measuring what might happen in the western suburbs.
"Don't worry, the princess, the master usually doesn't look at it, in fact, he is very reliable, and human life is a matter of God's master, you just need to wait for good news at home." The old butler comforted him.
Li Yewu nodded absentmindedly, but her mind was still spinning, and finally she said to Erge and them: "Erge, you should immediately rush to the northern suburbs and call all the laborers in the northern suburbs to support the western suburbs together.
The rest of the handymen went to the refugee slum and called all the young men who could be summoned to fight the flood in the western suburbs."
The named Erge and even the miscellaneous servants were ordered to be in danger, and they didn't care about hypocrisy, and hurriedly did what the princess ordered.
Only Li Yewu, the old butler, Zicui and the nine entourages of the second group were left in the huge mansion.
"We'll all deal with it in the living room tonight, and when the rain doesn't get so heavy in the morning, we'll also set off for the western suburbs."
The reason why Li Yewu arranged it like this was mainly because he didn't dare to hold it up.
After all, everyone in the palace was dispatched, and there were only 9 people left behind at this time, who knows if the head of the Xu family would take this opportunity to send people in for a sneak attack.
If they are scattered, they can easily be broken one by one, but it is different if they are concentrated in the hall together.
Even if the enemy comes, they will not be able to help them in a short time.
Everyone wished that Li Yewu would arrange it like this, the old housekeeper had planned to wait for the princess to return to the room and stay at the princess's door, and the princess would save trouble by mentioning it.
There is no way, who made the princess love to play cards according to common sense, who knows if she verbally promised not to go out, and whether she would sneak to the western suburbs when she turned her head.
If they really sneaked away, they really didn't know how to explain to their masters.
Now that the princess has offered to rest in the living room, it is naturally the best, and she will not slip away under everyone's noses, right?
So the old housekeeper hurriedly asked people to carry the princess's chaise longue over, arranged the futon, and arranged everything before arranging for the princess to sit and rest.
At this time, it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were still three hours before dawn, thinking that there was still a tough battle to be fought during the day, Li Yewu could only force himself to rest, otherwise he would have no energy to deal with the chores tomorrow.
But after lying down for a while, Li Yewu sat up suddenly: "Erduan, Ertao, you two go to the city gate to help deal with the settlement of the victims, hot water and clean clothes must be provided, so as not to catch a cold and get sick."
In ancient times, the wind chill and cold were not a minor illness, and they could kill at any time.
There are no professional doctors in the city, and there are no special medicines, so I am most afraid of this kind of cold and cold.
Hearing this, Erwan and Ertao got up quickly and ran into the rain.
