A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 844
After Ming Yanjun left the city, because the soldiers were moving slowly, she ordered a lieutenant general to lead the soldiers behind, and then she took another lieutenant general and a group of soldiers to hurry on the road.

At nightfall the next day, a group of people finally approached Sankou City. Standing on a high ground, they could faintly see the lights flickering on the side of Sankou City, like a guiding light in the dark night.

So Mr. Mingyan and the others continued on their way, with the horseshoes splashing mud and occasional drizzle, they just galloped on the road.

After walking for more than an hour, the bodyguard team arrived at Sankou City.

The dams of Sankou City were reinforced over and over again, and soldiers were guarding them in batches at all times, no matter day or night.

Lord Mingyan listened to the soldiers report the current situation in Sankou City.

When it comes to imperial envoys, these soldiers who work day and night have complaints to some extent.

The people in Sankou City are grateful to the imperial envoys, but they are the soldiers who stick to the dikes and keep the wind and rain unmoved.

The people in Sankou City have settled down. Originally, the imperial envoy was supposed to go downstream to help the victims, but after he heard that Qiu Ke was washed away by the flood downstream and his whereabouts were unknown, he stayed here and refused to go downstream.

The imperial envoy and the officers and soldiers he brought were all superior, and they treated these soldiers like livestock.

Ming Yanjun quickly understood the situation, she glanced at the dimly lit high ground, left the lieutenant of General Ming who accompanied her, and said: "Vice General He, during the absence of General Qiu, the soldiers and brothers here are under your sole control." Command."

"Yes!"

Ming Yanjun said again: "In a while, you will bring a few brothers, and you will meet the imperial envoy at the high ground. Right now, everyone is here to help the disaster, and as an official of the imperial court, it is even more duty-bound. If he should contribute, let him contribute. Special During the period, it was ruled by military orders, if anyone did not obey, they would be tied up first and wait for me to come back and wait for punishment."

Vice General He was stunned for a moment, and said, "Missy won't go up?"

Lord Ming Yan looked up at the night in the distance, and then divided half of the soldiers into Vice General He, took the rest with him, and said firmly, "I'll go downstream."

After arranging all these, Mr. Mingyan didn't stay long, let alone go to a place with lights to take a rest and drink some water, and he was about to leave.

General Ming asked Ming Yanjun to lead the troops this time, her words are military orders, and Vice General He has nothing to evade.

But when Lord Mingyan got on his horse and left, Vice General He asked again: "If the imperial envoy doesn't obey, will he be tied up too?"

Mr. Ming Yan rode on his horse, looked back at him, and said, "Is the imperial envoy special? You tell him that if he does nothing, after returning to Beijing, I guarantee that he will not take any credit for it."

"I will understand at the end."

The morale of the soldiers guarding the dike was immediately boosted.

The current situation is different from the previous situation when Qiu Ke was here.

When Qiu Ke was there before, all the soldiers were doing their best to strengthen the embankment to fight the flood, even if the imperial envoy ordered them to order them around, they had to endure it for a while.

Because these things must be done by someone, otherwise no one will be able to escape when the flood comes down.

In addition, the imperial envoy has food in hand, no matter who contributes, if it can be distributed to the people in time, it can also make the people's hearts settle down as soon as possible.

Things are different now.

The flood has basically been brought under control. Everyone should work together to manage the place well. We can't work hard at the same time.

Otherwise, if there is a sharp imbalance between the imperial envoy and the soldiers, it will change sooner or later.

Afterwards, Lord Ming Yan led the rest of his soldiers and rushed downstream without stopping.

It's hard to travel at night, and you can't go as fast as you do during the day.Everyone kept walking along the river.

Fortunately, when they came downstream, they took a few torches from the upstream soldiers, which could barely light the way forward.

The light of the fire jumps and burns at night, reflecting the flowing water in the river, and the sound of the water is full of sparkling light.

The upstream flood discharge is scheduled every day, and the time for flood discharge has long passed, so the river in the river channel is not surging and flooding, but flowing quite gently.

Mr. Mingyan is not familiar with the terrain, nor does he know where the downstream towns are, but if they walk along the river, there should be nothing wrong.

Although the downstream has been cleaned up, when they passed by, there was still a breath of death in some places that had not dissipated.

Holding the torch, the guards vaguely saw floating objects on the water surface, which were intercepted by some branches and branches that fell into the river, and piled up in one place.

Two soldiers rode up to look at it. The stench became more and more stinky as they got closer. They covered their mouths and noses and lit a fire, only to see a dead body and a pile of dead rats. It was extremely disgusting.

It must be picked up, otherwise people downstream will use the unclean water, and once the disease spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.

So the men scolded their mothers and spared no effort to salvage them.

They kept Ming Yanjun behind and said: "Miss, it's better not to come here, lest I won't be able to eat after seeing you."

The floating corpses picked up can't just hang out like this, they have to find a place to burn.

As you go downstream, the river channel suddenly widens, and a large area of ​​Tingzhu is formed. The people who salvage during the day cannot check every water area clearly, or the clearing is completed in the morning, and dead things are drifted in the afternoon. Come here, so when Ming Yanjun and the others saw it, there were several dead objects floating around.

It's dark now, and they can't see the depth of the water clearly, and they don't have fishing tools, so it's not suitable for salvage, so they can only rush to the town first.

In the middle of the night, they saw sporadic dim lights in front of them, which looked very lonely in the night.

Where there is a fire, there must be people, no matter whether it is a town or not, let's follow the light of the fire first.

As it turned out, they were right.

The fire was indeed lit from the town.

When Ming Yanjun and the others entered the town, the town was extremely deserted, and the simple stone pavement was greasy and wet under the firelight.

Most of the people have fallen asleep, but there are night watchmen in the town, some young people with better mental and physical strength, and soldiers who take turns on duty.

Several of Qiu Ke's soldiers staying in the town couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard that Miss Ming's family had come in person.But when they saw her, all of them looked depressed.

Ming Yanjun walked into the brightly lit hall and sat down, glanced at them, and asked, "Has he not found it yet?"

As soon as it came out, the voice was hoarse.

From the capital to here, she drove all night without having time to rest.

The soldiers shook their heads and said: "We have searched within a hundred miles downstream for the past two days, but there is no trace of the little general."

Ming Yanjun said in a daze: "I don't want you to find him in the river."

The soldier said in a low voice: "No one wants it."

A soldier stepped forward and knelt straight on the ground. The elders wiped their eyes with red eyes and said, "Blame me, I shouldn't have let little general Qiu pull me up!"
