Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 20 Disappearance

Heavy rain.

The collapsed tall mountain was like a giant beast at the end of its strength. After standing for many years, it fell down with an unwilling roar.

Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and birds and beasts screamed in fear.

Under the illumination of lightning, the grass and trees were swept away by the flood of mud and poured down to the foot of the mountain.

In an instant, the entire Yinxu County was buried.

Ye Wanqing stood in the rain with an umbrella, watching Yinxu County being completely devoured. She felt as if she had returned to the moment of her death in her previous life, and her heart was dead.

Ye Chenxi came over with an umbrella: "Girl..."

The girl didn't respond to him.

The wind and rain were so strong that almost all of her clothes were wet. Her dripping long hair stuck to her pale face, making her look a little dishevelled.

Ye Chenxi took two steps and used his body to block most of the wind and rain for her.

Ye Wanqing then raised her eyes: "I'm fine."

"Your voice is hoarse." Ye Chenxi's voice was shaking: "My legs are weak from fear, please help me up."

Ye Wanqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She held the umbrella in one hand and supported Ye Chenxi's arm with the other: "It's windy and rainy outside, go back to the carriage and change your clothes first."

"What about you?" Ye Chenxi asked her.

"I……"

Ye Wanqing was about to speak when she heard the guard shout, "There's movement!"

Everyone listened attentively.

Guard Chao's expression turned stern, and he immediately asked his men to be on alert. He himself knelt on one knee on the ground and listened closely.

After listening, he said to Ye Wanqing: "It's our people. The people we sent out have returned."

Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Two horses broke through the rain and galloped towards this side at a rapid speed.

The palace soldier dismounted and said, "Miss, Master, our people have found the Second Master and the Prince of Dun."

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and her hope was rekindled: "Where are they? Are they still alive?"

"They are all alive!" The soldier replied, "I heard that all the living creatures in the town have been moved away, even the half-hatched eggs were taken out with their nests."

Alive.

are alive.

In both lives, the mountain collapsed, but in this life, Chu Anlan survived! All the people in Yinxu County also survived!
"Where are Chen Ting and An Lan?" Ye Chenxi asked.

The soldier hurriedly responded, "The second young master is helping to evacuate the people, Prince Dun..." The soldier paused.

"What's wrong with An Lan?" Ye Chenxi asked anxiously.

The soldier hesitated, "I heard that the prince was injured and bled a lot... But I didn't see him with my own eyes. By the way, the other men were left behind by the second young master to help. The second young master asked his men to find the young lady and the eldest young master, saying that the mountains are dangerous and asked you to meet him immediately."

Ye Wanqing took a breath of cold air.

The good news is that Chu Anlan is still alive.

The bad news is that Chu Anlan seems to be seriously injured.

It is not too late.

Ye Wanqing pinched her fingers into her palms to calm herself down: "Guard Chao, make arrangements and go meet up with my second brother right away."

"Yes!"

All the people in Yinxu County were moved to another hilltop.

There is a large grassland in the mountains that can accommodate more than 10,000 people. There are more than a dozen temporary shelters and many bonfires.

The soldiers from the Southern Camp sent by the imperial court were maintaining order in the rain.

Before the Ye Mansion's carriage approached, soldiers came forward and took the group to a relatively secluded corner.

Soon, a tall young man in blue came with an umbrella.

"Second brother!"

Ye Chenxi jumped off the carriage, stepped on the mud and water, and ran towards the people happily.

Ye Chenting caught his elder brother who had thrown himself into his arms with both hands, frowned and scolded him softly: "Why are you and Wanqing here? This is just nonsense."

"Mother asked us to come!" Ye Chenxi explained: "Mom said she missed you, so she asked me and my sister to pick you up!"

Ye Chenting looked at his naive elder brother and said, "Do you really believe what she said?"

"Of course not." Ye Chenxi came out of his second brother's arms: "I'll tell you in secret, I miss An Lan. Coming to pick you up is actually an excuse. You won't be angry if I say this, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, he received a solid slap on the back of his head.

Ye Chenxi was anxious: "Why did you hit me?"

"What do you think?" Ye Chenting glanced at him with his narrow eyes.

Ye Chenxi pursed his lips.

I haven't seen my younger brother for two years. He has grown a lot taller and his figure has become taller, just like the pine and cypress on the green hills.

He had been traveling and studying with his master for many years, so his skin was not as white as the young master of Jindu, but a light honey color.

Ye Chenxi likes him very much.

The second brother is still the gentle and elegant second brother.

Ye Chenting reminded: "Wanqing is a woman, and her reputation is the most important thing. Don't say nonsense like that again. Do you understand?"

Ye Chenxi rubbed his cheek: "I only told you."

Ye Chenting patted his shoulder and said, "No need to explain. I understand. No matter what secrets I have, I will never tell you."

Ye Chenxi was suddenly speechless.

Ye Chenting held an umbrella and walked towards the carriage.

Yingxiang and Qianxi helped Ye Wanqing get out of the car, held an umbrella for her, and lifted the hem of her skirt.

When I looked up, I saw Ye Chenting walking towards me briskly.

"Wan Qing."

Ye Wanqing's slightly moist eyes were glistening with water. She smiled softly and called out, her voice choking slightly: "Second brother, are you all right?"

Looking at his sister who had grown into a graceful young lady after not seeing her for two years, Ye Chenting's handsome face showed a gentle expression: "I'm fine."

They are blood relatives and the closest people in the world.

Before Ye Chenting left Beijing for study, he avoided the crowd and hugged his younger sister.

Now that I'm grown up, due to worldly concerns, I have to avoid suspicion and can't be as close to others as I was when I was a child.

Ye Chenting felt a little regretful.

However, time is running out and we don't have time to reminisce for now.

Ye Chenting instructed her: "The people have encountered a sudden change and need to be appeased in time to avoid disasters. Second brother needs to go to help. You and eldest brother stay here and don't walk around. I will come back to find you when I am done."

After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Second brother." Ye Wanqing suddenly called him: "I want to go see An Lan."

Ye Chenting stopped and turned around: "But he said that he didn't want to see you, and he specifically ordered his subordinates to stop you."

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

Chu Anlan doesn't want to see her?
She subconsciously asked, "Why is this?"

In the darkness of the night, Ye Chenting's eyes curved slightly: "Maybe there is something shameful."

Ye Wanqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's good to know that he is still alive. If he doesn't want to see her, then he doesn't want to see her."

He still has the energy to arrange guards, so he probably isn't seriously injured.

Suddenly, Ye Chenting chuckled, "An Lan's face was disfigured, and she just cried bitterly. Even the men couldn't comfort her. If you want to go and see her, I can take you there secretly."

"Great! Thank you, second brother!" Ye Wanqing certainly wanted more than anything!
……

Chu Anlan’s tent is relatively close to here.

There are differences between men and women. Although it was night, Ye Wanqing still changed into a dark dress and wore a gauze veil that hung to her ankles in order to hide her identity.

The three siblings came outside the tent and stood in the dark looking inside.

Chu Anlan wrapped his head with white cloth, leaving only his mouth, nose and one eye exposed. He looked extremely pitiful.

However, my mental state is pretty good.

Ye Chenxi exclaimed in a low voice: "Could An Lan have injured his eyes and gone blind?"

Ye Chenting immediately made a gesture to keep quiet: "Don't make a sound..."

Ye Chenxi quickly covered his mouth.

Now that the people have arrived, Ye Chenting still has a lot to do.

He whispered, "I'm going to help appease the people first. Brother, you will take Wanqing back to the carriage later and keep her safe."

"Don't worry!" Ye Chenxi nodded vigorously.

After getting the guarantee, Ye Chenting walked into the rainy night with an umbrella, towards the noisy people.
