Chapter 119: Rumors in Luoyang
After days of heavy rain, the whole city of Luoyang became panicked, but fortunately, Dasi Nong organized a lot of people to help the people repair the collapsed houses, and took out food to help the people tide over the difficulties temporarily.
And the time when the imperial court sent the soldiers of the West Garden to repair the river embankment has also spread in Luoyang City. It has won a lot of praise for Liu Hong, among which Cao Cao's performance is the best, every time he goes to Luoyang to buy supplies, he is covered in mud and water, and some businessmen want to donate materials and send people to register. The prestige of the entire Luoyang is increasing day by day, and only a very small number of noble children know that behind all this, it is the general Anton who is doing it.
And since he went downstream, he has never returned to Luoyang.
Some bad rumors began to spread throughout Luoyang. It is said that General Anton is arrogant and has contradicted His Majesty, and has been arranged by His Majesty to patrol the river embankment, and his life and death are not known at present.
Others say that he has been swept away by the river, while others say that he fled to Bishan for fear of flooding. No matter what kind of rumors, they have filled Ruyang Houfu with a layer of haze.
The rain fell sparsely all night, and the morning fell into silence again. Many ministers have realized that I am afraid that something is going to happen to the river, but since Ruyang Hou went to the embankment, there has been no news back, but a few captains in the West Garden have kept sending back some news on the embankment, judging from the current situation, the embankment is safe for the time being, at least the south is safe.
At least the news about Wang Gang was never mentioned again, and Liu Hong also seemed a little worried, after all, he had heard a lot of those rumors, and when the early dynasty dispersed, Liu Hong brought Dasi Nong to the Qinzheng Palace.
"Uncle Huang, hasn't there been any news from Ruyang Hou" When no one was around, Liu Hong still called Liu Kuan Uncle Huang, looking at the old minister in front of him, his body has also lost a lot of weight after running around recently, and there are still some traces of muddy water on his sideburns.
"Ziyi has never sent back news since he went downstream"
"Then is he already ......?"
"No, although Zi Yi acted a little recklessly, he would never do anything that he was not sure of, and the form of wanting to come downstream was more urgent, and it was too late to report it for a while" A trace of worry on Liu Kuan's face was fleeting.
"Hey, I would have known that I wouldn't let him, his marriage with the county lord is getting closer, in case there is a mistake, how to explain to the queen mother, I haven't been to see the queen mother for a few days, for fear that he will ask about Ruyanghou"
"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that Jiren has his own natural appearance"
"Arrange some people to look downstream along the river embankment, be sure to find Ruyanghou, and let him go back to Beijing to see me" Liu Hong figured it out, first find Wang Gang back, and talk about the rest later. It's not that the river hasn't flooded, it's nothing more than disaster relief.
"How's the situation in Luoyang?"
"The stagnant water in the city has arranged for people to introduce falling water, but if it goes on like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it. Lao Chen has already moved the people downstream of Luoshui to the mountains, but some people are reluctant to leave their homes and are reluctant to leave those fields."
"My life is dying, and I'm still thinking about those lands"
"The people live on food, and the land is their lifeblood, but I'm afraid they need more food"
After Liu Kuan finished speaking, there was a sad look in his eyes, he originally thought that several big victories could make the people of this year better, but he didn't expect a sudden heavy rain to make all this come to naught.
The rain seems to be much smaller, and the heavy clouds in the sky have become a little lighter, but this rushing river is still turbulent, Wang Gang stood on the embankment, looking at the gap that is gradually widening opposite, yesterday it was like a small stream, but today it has become a big river, and even the water level on the south bank of the river has dropped a lot.
A ship appeared on the surface of the river, and the ship was hiding from the driftwood around it on the river, and the rolling waves made the boat undulating constantly, like a leaf in a whirlpool, and was in danger of being subverted at any time. The ship drove towards Wang Gang's side, but as soon as he reached the center of the river, he was sucked by the water of the gap on the opposite side and couldn't help but go to the opposite bank.
Wang Gang was also frightened when he saw this, if the ship was washed into the gap on the opposite bank, it would definitely capsize, and the last one on the ship would not be able to escape. Although Wang Gang didn't know who was sitting on the boat, he vaguely felt that the people on the boat were likely to come to find him.
"Save ...... Quickly"
Before Wang Gang finished speaking, the sound of the bowstring breaking through the air sounded, and a feathered arrow dragged a long rope, right in the middle of the boat, and suddenly several soldiers stepped forward and pulled the rope, and the boat was stable, swaying from side to side in the big river. Chu Yu released several feather arrows with ropes one after another, and the soldiers worked together, and the boat was gradually driven towards the south bank.
In recent days, Chu Yu has been using this method to salvage driftwood in the center of the river and shoot a small boat, which is handy for him.
The boat approached the south shore and gradually stabilized, and a woman in tight leather armor helped a woman in a big red palace dress to walk out, the woman's face was pale, and her whole body was a little trembling, and she was able to barely stand up with the support of a woman in tight leather armor. The two are Dong Wan'er and Hua Yu.
Just when there was still a distance of two or three zhang from the shore, Hua Yu jumped up, hugged Dong Wan'er and landed firmly in front of Wang Gang. Dong Wan'er flew into Wang Gang's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"County Lord, you shouldn't be in danger" Wang Gang reached out to support Dong Wan'er and patted Dong Wan'er's back.
He ...... They say you're dead, I don't believe it, I don't believe it,,"
Wang Gang was puzzled for a while when he heard this, he was alive and well, who was so bored and said that he was dead.
"Who said I was dead"
"I don't know, the whole of Luoyang is talking"
Dong Wan'er whimpered in Wang Gang's arms for a while, then remembered something, came out of Wang Gang's arms, took a step back, and looked at so many soldiers on the river embankment, and her cheeks were full of shame for a while.
"It's from the General's Mansion," Hua Yu said beside him.
"This general is really not worrying," Wang Gang muttered to himself.
"Do you want me to ......?"
"Nope"
Wang Gang knew what Hua Yu wanted to do, not to mention that the General's Mansion was heavily guarded, and Hua Yu might not be delicious when he went. If the general dies now, the whole Han doesn't know what big changes will happen, but I'm afraid that it will get worse when the time comes, which is not what Wang Gang wants to see.
"You're coming from upstream, what's going on upstream?"
"The situation is much better upstream than here, with thousands of soldiers reinforcing the embankment, and there is no gap on both sides of the river upstream."
When Wang Gang heard Dong Wan'er say this, he was also relieved, and took Dong Wan'er and Hua Yu to Pingjin Pass. Temporarily settle the two daughters, although the rain outside is much lighter, standing in the rain for a long time, Dong Wan'er will definitely get sick.
Wang Gang asked some more about the situation in Luoyang, and when he learned that Luoyang was fine, his mood was completely relaxed, and as for the rumors spread by the general, let him go. Dong Wan'er and Wang Gang talked for a while, and they were a little mentally exhausted and fell asleep.
