Chapter 110
"Your Majesty is worried about His Highness's safety?"

Bai Lai couldn't help asking.

The emperor hummed, "What they did at this time almost took advantage of those people's interests. I'm afraid this journey..." will be full of dangers.

"Your Majesty, I think it should be fine; you forgot, besides Lord Xia and the others, His Highness also left two thousand silver feather guards to follow. Even if those people want to attack the two young Highnesses, they have to weigh whether they have the ability to do so." !"

Bai Lai comforted him.

Although he was also worried, he knew that His Highness is no longer the simple little Highness he used to be, and he already knows how to protect himself.

The emperor snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Let people pay close attention to it, and don't let some news that shouldn't come into their ears. If people run away and Yu'er comes back, I don't know how to explain it."

"only."

Bai Lai naturally understood that they, as the eldest princess, couldn't get rid of her hind legs; only when they were firmly behind, could she do her own thing in front of her with peace of mind.

But at this moment, a little eunuch ran in from the outside
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well!"

Bai Lai scolded, "Bah, bah, bah... What's wrong with your majesty, your majesty is fine!"

The little eunuch immediately realized that he had made a mistake, but he didn't have time to correct it, so he hurriedly reported it.

"Just now there is an urgent report that Minghe Mansion has broken its embankment and the seawater is flooding back!"

The emperor's face changed, and he strode forward to take the report in his hand, his face completely sank.

"Bai Lai, the two Ministers of the Xuanhu Department, the Ministry of Industry, and Shi Yan went to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters first."

……

The time was pushed to half a month ago.

Minghe Mansion, Taiping County.

Taiping County Magistrate Banzheng looked at the heavy rain in front of him with a heavy face, wondering what he was thinking.

"grown ups."

Behind him, Master came over and stood by his side.

"What are you worried about, my lord?"

Ban Zheng let out a heavy breath, "This torrential rain has been falling for several days, and it seems that it has not stopped at all. I am afraid... Taiping County is built on the coast and is located in a low-lying area. If this rain continues, I'm afraid the sea will surge and the river will break its bank, which will be dangerous."

"It shouldn't be so serious."

The master couldn't help but said: "We have never had such a heavy rain before, and we have never had any accidents."

"At that time, the rain was not as heavy as these days. It was as if a hole had been broken in the sky, and the rain was pouring down into the world."

"Yang Hong, I don't know why I always feel uneasy." This is a feeling I have never felt before.

The water on the ground is accumulating more and more, and it is almost impossible to drain it out. Even the county government is like this, so the outside is probably even more serious.

Yang Hong didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only comfort him.

"Thinking about it, my lord is just thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night."

But Banzheng didn't think so, his eyes sank, as if he had made up his mind, he said loudly.

"Come on."

"What are your orders?"

The servants behind him stepped forward.

"Zhou Butou, you should immediately assign people to the river embankment and low-lying areas to persuade the people to evacuate to the safe places prepared by the Yamen. If necessary, they can be forced to evacuate, knock people unconscious and take them away."

"Yes."

Zhou Butou hesitated for a moment, but didn't say much, and waved his hand.

"You come with me."

The yamen servants in the government office almost came out in full force.

"My lord, what you are afraid of will not happen in time. If we do this today, I am afraid it will cause protests from the people."

Master Yang Hong was still a little worried.

"But what if there is? It will be too late then."

Rivers and seas burst their embankments, and the people in the low-lying areas had no time to run.

"Don't worry, if something really happens, I will personally prepare the performance to your majesty, and I will bear it alone!"

Fortunately, Ban Zheng was a clean and honest official, and he had a good reputation among the people. When they heard that he had noticed him at home, most of them packed up their valuables and went out.

Some places are low-lying, and the rainwater has even submerged their waists, so the yamen servants can only slowly walk outside with the elderly people on their backs.

The entire Taiping County was almost filled with desperate cries, but unfortunately God couldn't hear them at all.

An hour later, the sea water began to pour in, and the river embankment burst, but in an instant, almost half of the houses in Taiping County were destroyed by the river sea water, and some people who were reluctant to evacuate were directly swallowed by the water and disappeared without a trace.

This incident soon reached Banzheng's ears, and he couldn't help closing his eyes.

After all, it's still one step too late!
……

Time is back on track.

Over here, Xia Hanyu, who had been driving for a few days, was resting beside the carriage, slowly eating with a bowl of warm food in his hand.

Xia Ji sat beside her.

Suddenly a carrier pigeon fell from a high place, and Yu Xiao caught it in his hand, pulled out the letter under its feet and sent it to Xia Ji.

"grown ups."

Xia Ji put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, took them and opened them, his brows gradually furrowed.

"What happened?"

Xia Hanyu looked at his face and asked subconsciously.

Xia Ji handed the letter into her hands, "Your Highness, the embankment burst in Taiping County, and sea water poured into the entire Minghe Mansion. More than 2000 households were affected by the disaster, causing countless casualties."

"What did you say?"

Xia Hanyu took the letter paper in disbelief, her eyebrows furrowed heavily.

It was her fault. During this period of time, her eyes and mind were all on the mine and completing the task, and she forgot such an important disaster.

It's a pity that she didn't pay attention to these things in her last life. She only heard that the flood in Minghe Mansion was serious, and her father sent Xia Ji to rescue the disaster. .

Xia Hanyu once again denounced her own stupidity in the previous life.

She held the letter paper tightly in her palm and stood up abruptly.

"Xia Ji, tell father that we won't be going for the time being, and the destination will be changed to Taiping County first."

It is said that Taiping County was the most serious. At that time, an official was also dealt with.

But before she goes, she also has something to prepare.

Since we are going to provide disaster relief, we cannot go empty-handed.

Xia Ji heard her words, took a deep look at her, and cupped his hands, "Wei."

Then he turned around and wrote the memorial himself, and passed it back with a flying pigeon.

Next to Xia Hanyu, Xia Chengyun had never seen a natural disaster, so he couldn't help but ask her.

"Sister, is the disaster particularly serious?"

"Well, it's very, very serious. The despair and the scene can't be described in words." Xia Hanyu closed her eyes and opened them again. She turned to Xia Chengyun and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Chengyun, natural disasters are ruthless and terrifying, and the people are in dire straits. You will know when you see it."

Xia Chengyun nodded obediently.

He looked at his sister, his eyes became serious.

After a while, Xia Ji came back.

"Your Highness, do you need to leave now?"

Xia Hanyu shook her head, "I still need you to arrange for someone to help me get some things back, especially sacks."

Because she had to... bargain with the system!

And she is confident that she can win this time.
