Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1893 The situation is complicated

"Ya'er, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Hefeng City before the heavy rain comes." Gu Shangqing looked up at the dark clouds that were about to press directly above his head, and said, "Otherwise, we can find someone who can hide now." Where it rains."

Liu Ya smelled a fishy smell in the air, it was the low-pressure convection generated by the approaching rainstorm, which stirred up the breath of the surrounding rivers.

Liu Ya straightened her back on the horse, looked around, shook her head and said: "The terrain around here is not good, if you are hiding from the rain, it's easy to handle, I'm afraid you have to watch out for mudslides. And I smell a fishy smell in the air It is very heavy, and there should be a river nearby. If the river rises and breaks the road, it will be even more difficult for us to move forward."

Feng Zhongjing also pulled his horse over and said: "Based on my memory, there is indeed a small river three miles to the southwest. But the river is not rushing, and the river is not too deep. It can only be passed by a small boat, and there is no dam built. If it is flooded , it shouldn't be too serious."

Liu Ya frowned, she was not familiar with the situation here, and she was a little embarrassed.

But based on her experience, she felt that judging from the low-pressure atmosphere in the air and the obvious low-lying terrain around it, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Seeing Liu Ya's hesitation, Feng Zhongjing took out a map from his horse's leather pocket, unfolded it, looked at it, and said, "This map of mine shows the topography and landforms around Hefeng City. But there are also markings, but the drawing is not detailed. Do you want to see the crown princess?"

Liu Ya nodded, and said: "It's better to have a map than nothing, let me take a look." Taking the map, Liu Ya first found Hefeng City.

This map is drawn with Hefeng City as the center, and the villages and counties around the city are marked.The small roads between the villages and the branches of some big rivers are also drawn in detail.If these labels are correct, it will really help them a lot.

Liu Ya found their current location again. Although they had reached the edge of the map, there were several paths and a small river nearby.Moreover, the trend of the small river has also been explained, and it really doesn't look like there will be a flood.

It's just that Liu Ya always felt that something was wrong.Because a section of the river suddenly narrowed and the water flow became shallow, there was obviously a problem.

Liu Ya said: "Second brother Feng, this river looks very strange, maybe there is an underground waterway. If the groundwater and mountain torrents gather together, the factors of instability will be multiplied."

Both Feng Zhongjing and Gu Shangqing came to see it, but there was a gust of wind blowing, Liu Ya was holding the map with one hand, and was pointing with the other hand, and the map was blown up by the wind.

Liu Ya quickly grabbed it, but unfortunately she used too much force and the wind was so strong that she tore a piece of the thin sheepskin map.

When Gu Shangqing helped Liu Ya unfold the map again, it was a coincidence that the part where Liu Ya found the problem was torn off and a corner was missing.

"This..." Liu Ya frowned, she didn't want to say it was a bad omen, and she didn't believe it either.

However, because such a piece is missing, it will be difficult to study the trend of the river with Feng Zhongjing and the others.

Feng Zhongjing suggested: "Why don't we observe while walking. The maps drawn are always somewhat different from the actual situation."

"That's the only way to go." Liu Ya nodded, returned the map to Feng Zhongjing, and told everyone not to fall behind, and to move forward quickly.

After another moment of effort, a blue-purple light suddenly flashed through the clouds in the sky, and it was lightning that broke through the clouds and rushed out.Then there was a loud bang, and the thunder seemed to tear the earth apart.

Everyone's horses were startled, even Liu Ya's Mo Yun neighed and stomped hard on her front legs twice.

"Hurry up, the rain is coming soon." Liu Ya greeted and waved her hand.But she pulled her horse to the side of the road and stopped, signaling the team behind to go first.

Gu Shangqing also immediately pulled his horse to stop beside Liu Ya, and said to Feng Zhongjing, "You take the people there first, and Ya'er and I will lead the battle."

Feng Zhongjing glanced ahead, knowing that he should not hesitate at this moment.He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go explore the way first."

"Don't get separated from the team. There is no need to explore the way." Liu Ya hurriedly shouted.

She felt that her Mo Yun was going fast, and she was afraid that the people behind would not be able to keep up, so she let the soldiers pass first.But she definitely didn't mean to let Feng Zhongjing leave the team to explore the way.

Although Feng Zhongjing nodded, he urged his horse sharply and rushed forward.

"Go and follow with 200 people, and report immediately if something happens." Liu Ya immediately ordered a small team of the imperial guards to follow Feng Zhongjing.

But at this moment, another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and then big raindrops fell down along with rumbling thunder.

As the torrential rain poured down, the rainwater on the ground quickly merged into a creek.The rain curtain ahead blocked everyone's sight, and the dark clouds overwhelmed the top, making it impossible for people to see a dozen steps ahead.

"Be careful...cough cough, don't fall behind. Cough cough..." Liu Ya yelled, and she was choked by the rain and coughed.

The voice couldn't be heard even more, it was almost drowned out by the sound of thunder and rain just as soon as he yelled out.

Gu Shangqing also shouted following Liu Ya's voice, and ordered the soldiers in front and behind to pass on the message.It's important that everyone looks forward, back, left, and right so that no one is left behind.

"Ya'er, I think it's better to take shelter from the rain. It's too dangerous to go in the rain." Gu Shangqing's horse was next to Liu Ya's horse, protecting her as much as possible.But the rain still slapped relentlessly, already drenching Liu Ya instantly.

Liu Ya covered her face with her hands, looked at the gray fog in front of her, and said loudly: "But Second Brother Feng hasn't come back yet, if we deviate from this road now, and he can't find us after he comes back, it may be missed."

"Leave a few people here, let's go that way." Gu Shangqing pointed to the hillside on one side and said, "At least there is a high ground over there. We stand on the side sheltered from the wind, so we can somewhat shelter from the wind and rain."

Liu Ya's scalp was sore from the raindrops, and it was even more dangerous to travel under such harsh conditions.And the horse can't walk fast, and the road conditions are not familiar, and it may slip and fall.

If people and horses fall in the team, it means being trampled, which may cause more serious panic and accidents.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya waved her hand and ordered the team to stop, and the soldiers would send messages to each other, and everyone would evacuate towards the hillside together after receiving the order.

Fortunately, this team has followed Liu Ya for so many days, and the tacit understanding and execution level are very high.

It didn't take long for all the soldiers to receive orders and gather together.With Liu Ya taking the lead, Gu Shangqing adjourned, and headed towards the hillside in an orderly manner.
