Chapter 538 Prophecy
The night was cold, and the cold wind blew by, extinguishing the dying bonfire. The sleepy people shivered unconsciously and woke up.

He rubbed his arms, wrapped his coat tightly, and whispered: "It's ugly now, do you think tonight is nothing?"

"Who knows?" The person on the side wrapped the child tightly in his arms.

Today I heard that there was going to be an earthquake. I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring many things to keep out the cold. I could take care of the children but not the adults.

"You think, if this earthquake doesn't happen for a day, will we have to stay outside all the time?"

The man next to him shook his head: "No one can accurately predict when the earthquake will come. Although Princess Yong'an said there was an earthquake, she did not say the specific time. Just in case, I'm afraid she still has to stay outside. .”

After all, even if there is half a chance, it is a fatal matter, and no one can afford to bet on it.

"Hey..." The person holding the child sighed lowly, "I don't know whether what Princess Yong'an said is true or not...her words alone have mobilized so many people. If nothing happens later, wouldn't we be worried in vain? A trip..."

The person next to him whispered: "You rarely go out. Maybe you don't know that Princess Yong'an is not an ordinary person, but a genius with great skills in mysticism. The hexagrams she divined are somewhat credible. .”

Although Liangzhou is located in the northwest, the news spread slowly, but as the marriage team moved into Liangzhou City, the people in the city also heard more or less about Xiao Lingjiang's deeds.

It is precisely because of this that when news of a possible earthquake came out in the city and everyone was asked to leave their houses and take shelter in an open area immediately, the people did not have too many doubts.

However, now that the night is about to pass, there is no movement from the legendary earth dragon turning around.The people who had been frozen for almost the whole night were inevitably a little bit dissatisfied.

The two of them muttered a few more words in a low voice, and then gradually fell asleep again.

It was already dawn, and a bright color gradually appeared on the dark sky.The people gathered together, lying down, hugging their knees or leaning on their backs, all fell into a deep sleep.

"boom--"

Just hearing a loud noise, the whole earth suddenly shook.

The sleeping people woke up instantly, opened their eyes hazy, and saw that the originally flat ground was suddenly torn apart.

Looking further into the distance, I saw that the buildings where people used to live were swaying and collapsing, and the trees could not support themselves and swayed and fell to the ground.

The loud sound was fleeting, but in the blink of an eye, the earth was shattered, and the former homeland was instantly reduced to ruins.

"Earth Dragon turn over!"

"It's really an earth dragon turning over!"

"My house!"

The stunned crowd finally reacted and started crying and shouting. Some people who even wanted to rush towards their houses were stopped by others with quick eyesight and hands!

Children were crying and adults were shouting. Even if there were soldiers on the side to maintain order, the scene would inevitably become chaotic.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The sound of three drums was loud and deep, swaying in circles, making everyone present tremble in their hearts.

The people couldn't help but be stunned and looked blankly in the direction of the drum sound. They saw a person standing on the giant drum with her hands behind her hands. The wind blew her robe and made a hunting sound.

Behind her, dawn has arrived, and clouds are gradually rising.

"Everyone!" She shouted loudly, and her calm and solemn voice spread in all directions through her inner strength. "After the big earthquake, there may be aftershocks. Please go back far away and don't run!" "Is this Princess Yong'an?" An old man in the crowd asked tremblingly.

"It's me." Xiao Lingjiang nodded.

"Princess, it's a princess!" The old man's tears instantly flowed out, feeling as wronged as a child, "But... the home where the old man has lived all his life is just gone..."

"My home is also destroyed..." Sobs could be heard from the crowd.

Even if they had some mental preparation before, when everything came true, they still found it difficult to accept it.

Looking at the tearful people below, Xiao Lingjiang felt uncomfortable. She lowered her voice and said: "Dear elders, natural disasters are beyond human control. In the face of such a catastrophe, you and I can live safely. It’s a blessing.”

"The most important thing now is to avoid aftershocks. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The governor Duan and General Guo will not ignore this disaster in Liangzhou. As the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will not Sit back and do nothing.”

"I believe that as long as we are here, there will be home!"

Yes, as long as people are there, home is there!
The people's hearts were slightly lifted. Looking at their family members cuddling beside them, some hope gradually emerged from their originally despairing and sad hearts.

It was getting daylight, and after appeasing the people, Xiao Lingjiang, Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing went to inspect the aftermath.

This earthquake struck quickly and violently. Although it was short-lived, it was powerful. Nearly half of the houses in the huge Liangzhou City collapsed, and even the solid city walls that had stood for hundreds of years had several cracks.

Now Liangzhou is in chaos and there is something wrong with the city wall. Once Xifan takes the opportunity to make a sneak attack, the entire Liangzhou will be in danger.After Guo Xiaoxing heard the report, he hurriedly led people to repair and guard.

At this moment, news came from Pei You.

When he arrived outside the city yesterday, Gongji and Tuochi had already disguised themselves and headed outside Yumen Pass.Fortunately, Chang Wuzi noticed something was wrong and followed them all the way to stop the two people in the pass in time. Only then did Pei You catch them in time and "invite" them back.

When asked why the two of them left secretly, Gongji only said: "The truth is that the Zhou Dynasty and his relatives entered Tibet. I discussed it with the Western Tibet generals, and did not want to alarm others, so I met Master Tuozhu. We went in secret. I planned to return before dawn, but unexpectedly I bothered Prince Pei to come."

Pei You didn't believe a word of this talk. He sneered in his heart but didn't show it on his face: "Since the Prime Minister and Master Tuozhi are in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I naturally have to be responsible for them. Now. The terrain in Liangzhou is unstable, so for the sake of your safety, you two should follow me back to Liangzhou City first."

"That being the case, I naturally follow the prince's arrangements." Gongji looked at the men Pei You led, and then at Chang Wuzi who was standing with his hands behind his back, knowing in his heart that he would not be able to escape today.

It's a pity that his original plan was lost.

After Xiao Lingjiang was selected to marry Xifan, Yongmu once predicted that in the early morning of September [-], the [-]th year of Chengyou, there would be a great earthquake in Liangzhou, causing massacres in the place, collapse of houses, and numerous casualties.

He didn't believe it at the time. After all, Master Tuocheng had never calculated this phenomenon, let alone her.

However, Yongmu's words were conclusive. Although he still had doubts, he was still fully prepared when he thought of the divine palace behind Yongmu.

After returning to Western Tibet, he specifically negotiated with the Zhou Dynasty to leave Zhou and enter Tibet via Liangzhou. This would not avoid a deviation in travel time, and he also specifically set a month's stay in Liangzhou for rest.

In this way, we can take advantage of the earthquake in Liangzhou to get rid of Xiao Lingjiang, and even take advantage of Liangzhou's weakness to go east and capture Liangzhou.

Although the covenant was made, Xibo was attacked from both sides by Nanzhao and Zhou Dynasty and did not want to renew it. However, if it was so beneficial to Xibo, it would not be difficult to break it.

After all, once Liangzhou is captured, the western border defense of the Great Zhou Dynasty will suffer heavy losses. Even if they want to send troops to Xibo, they may not be able to do so for a while.

In this way, Xifan can choose to recuperate, or he can choose to take the opportunity to go eastward and fight until Dazhou is unable to fight back.

The only strange thing is that the palace had ulterior motives and did not inform him of the earthquake before he went on his mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty.Otherwise, if we had already made plans for the Xibo border, he might not necessarily come during this time of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And that guy just now...

Gongji glanced at Chang Wuzi again. His kung fu and mystical skills were not inferior to those of Master Tuochei. Who is he?
