Boom Rumble!!

Dazzling purple thunder and lightning pierced the sky, flickering in the thick dark clouds, and constantly emitting terrifying loud noises, as if there was a sky-devouring beast about to destroy in the clouds, trembling and terrifying.

Feeling the power of heaven and earth in the sky, Xiao Yun's face, who had just arrived at the Tianmen River Dam, gradually became solemn.

"So ......"

She held her hands on her back, and there was no softness on her face, but instead there was a formidable majesty, and the whole person exuded a capable and decisive temperament.

"Huaiyu, after he knew the ins and outs of this matter, he gave up his original plan to come here and let you come here on your own, while he rushed to Yuzhou City with the Xuanji Guards to preside over the overall situation?"

"Yes, Lord Xiao."

Zhang Shiping bowed slightly, clenched his fists and said: "After the governor and I separated, we rushed to the direction of Yuzhou City with the rescued people, and with the itinerary of the official road and the extraordinary foot strength of the BMW under their seats, it is expected that we will be able to arrive in Pingxian County, which is about dozens of miles away from Yuzhou, this evening." ”

"yes......"

After listening to Zhang Shiping's story, a layer of melancholy gradually appeared in Xiao Yun's eyes.

She wasn't worried about Lu Chen's safety.

Not to mention anything else, just Fu Huan, the commander of the Xuanji Guards that she couldn't see through at all, could basically ensure Lu Chen's safety, not to mention that there were more than two hundred Xuanji Guards accompanying her.

The defense around Lu Chen was completely invulnerable from the outside, and there was nothing to worry about.

What she is really worried about is Lu Chen's upright and strong, people-first and jealous character, plus the sword in his hand that represents the supreme imperial power and has the privilege of "cutting first and then playing", the result of the combination of the two is not as simple as one plus one.

The officialdom of Yuzhou can get a glimpse of the leopard from this incident.

As soon as she arrived in the dam area, she saw more than 2,000 emaciated "servants" waiting in place as if waiting for death, and in just a moment she realized something extraordinary.

After all, if there is a real intention to quell the flood, these people who can't pick up their shoulders will not be allowed to come and waste food.

And now, in the entire Yuzhou, including King Yu, except for the thin face that she can use to help Lu Chen gain a firm foothold in the officialdom many times before, and can slightly stop Lu Chen from acting rashly, no one can stop him who holds the human emperor's sword.

What's more, he also has peerless masters such as Fu Huan to protect him...

"Things are starting to get troublesome......"

Xiao Yun murmured softly, her face tangled.

Now that the empress is in charge of the dynasty, although she has the support of the Holy King who spares no effort, after all, her foundation is shallow, and she is currently only completely in control of the Sili area, and her authority has not yet penetrated into the whole world......

However, even if she realized this, she had no choice but to give Lu Chen a letter.

She is responsible for controlling the water, and she must not leave until the situation is obviously grim and the flood has not subsided.

Otherwise, once the flood bursts the embankment, the land on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Qingjiang River will be turned into a Ze country overnight, and the consequences will be even more serious, and in serious cases, it will even shake the foundation of Great Xia's rule.

Therefore, in the face of today's situation, she could only smile bitterly, shook her head, forcibly pressed the worry in her heart, and then played to Luo Jing at the same time, gave Lu Chen a letter, turned around, and began to devote herself to the matter of water control.

………………

Just when Xiao Yun was methodically arranging the repair of the embankment by Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhouwei, who gradually arrived in the dam area, arranging the large array and digging ditches to discharge floods, Lu Chen and the others, as Zhang Shiping expected, came to the boundary of Pingxian County when it was dark.

The official road from the Tianmen River Dam to Yuzhou City passes through Ping County, so it is also a convenient place to come here.

However, Lu Chen did not rush to Pingxian, but sent the people back to the village first.

However, when he escorted the elated Li Wei and other villagers of Gou'er Village to the entrance of the village, and looked at their backs as they ran towards their homes impatiently, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable cold air wafting around him.

At the same time, Fu Huan's eyes froze, and her gaze was quite solemn at the quiet village not far away.

"It's dead air!"

As she spoke, her face grew colder.

"Only in the desolate place where the living are lost, the breath of death will appear."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but turn pale.

"That is to say......"

Fu Huan nodded silently.

"There were no living people in this village before we came here."

In the next second, as if to confirm Fu Huan's judgment, in a farmhouse not far away, a sad exclamation suddenly sounded:

"Mother!!"

Immediately after, as if it were a toppled domino, a mournful cry sounded one after another in the surrounding farmhouses—

"Daddy!"

"Taigong!!"

"Grandmother!"

"Mother! No!!! ”

“……”

The exclamations came and went, and it took a while before they gradually subsided.

Lu Chen had obviously realized something, and his face became more and more heavy.

"Let's go."

He slowly spurred his horse and walked towards the nearest room.

Xuan Jiwei followed.

Walking to the door of the house with the door wide open, Lu Chen turned over and dismounted, and walked in with heavy steps.

And when he walked through the small courtyard and came to the back room, the moment he saw the scene inside, even if he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But under the dim and shabby, leaky house, Li Wei was hugging a corpse and crying.

"Mother! Didn't you say that there was still food left at home, so that the children could leave with their rations at ease? Why ......"

"Why are you lying to the kid!!"

There was an unpleasant smell of decay in the air.

At this time, the corpse that Li Wei was holding was completely dehumanized at this time.

There is no flesh in the whole body, it is either skin or bone, the limbs are thinner than a rolling pin, the shriveled chest presents an extremely clear rib outline, and the position of the head, in the two deep hollows, exudes a terrible breath.

That's what a hungry person can look like.

She was starved to death!

Seeing such a miserable scene in the real world for the first time, several times more poignant than the so-called horror movies on TV, Lu Chen couldn't react for a while.

Smack...

When he came to his senses, he took a deep look at the corpse before turning and leaving the premises.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

But they know what they have to do.

After leaving Li Wei's house, Lu Chen led everyone to the barn and waited quietly in the rain.

About a quarter of an hour later, the villagers came out of their lifeless homes.

Extremely thin, they easily held the corpse of their relatives who had died, almost not even twenty pounds, came to Lu Chen and the others, knelt down slowly, and then kowtowed heavily on the ground full of mud and puddles, extremely sad

"My lord! Please call the shots for us! ”

Lu Chen didn't speak immediately, but turned his head, looked at Fu Huan and Fang Yu who had held up a spiritual power shield to protect him from the rain, and said lightly: "Remove the spiritual power shield." ”

After speaking, under the puzzled gaze of the two, he slowly turned his head and looked at the corpse in front of him, which was extremely miserable and even more desolate than Li Wei's mother, and then slowly spoke.

"This official wants to see how cold it is in Yuzhou."

I'm a little unwell, so I'll update the chapter first......
