Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 366
After dealing with Ashina Helu's affairs, Qingxi's side successfully completed the task, and the officials sent by the imperial court handed over to Li Ke, and Li Ke rushed back to Chang'an to meet the emperor without stopping.

Although these two matters have been resolved, the natural disasters have not stopped, and the floods are still raging on this land.

Because of these things, Li Chengqian, who was in a bad mood, decided to go to the Wannian Palace to relax and take a look at the situation along the way.

After some preparations, the emperor's guard of honor set off from Chang'an to the Wannian Palace. The journey was fairly peaceful and nothing happened.

Li Chengqian issued an edict to abolish the Yaochi Governor's Mansion and set the Ministry of Moon as Jinmanzhou.

"It's late at night, everyone! Let's arrange it earlier! The body of the dragon is important." Wang Quan said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian yawned, stretched his waist, rubbed his sore shoulders, and asked, "What time is it?"

These days, the playbooks have been sent to the Wannian Palace from all over the country like snowflakes, most of them are for worrying, and there are still some good news, which didn't make Li Chengqian so depressed.

"It's already midnight!" Wang Quan said.

The third watch is from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning. In later generations, this time period is the time when night owls come out to make wild waves.

The real nightlife is just now, and bars and other nightlife venues everywhere are overcrowded.

In ancient times, many people had already fallen asleep, and at midnight, there was not even a single person on the street.

Li Chengqian put down the brush in his hand. He had been reviewing the memorials for a whole day, and he was indeed tired. He might as well rest early so that he could recharge his energy and work harder.

"I'm really sleepy, so let's rest!" Li Chengqian said.

"Hey! I'll send someone to make the dragon couch for everyone." Wang Quan said, turning around and ordering the maid to make the bed for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian walked to the bedside, and the maid stepped forward to undress him.

"Boom..." There was thunder in the night sky outside, louder than louder, and a bolt of lightning swam through the night sky, illuminating the dark night.

Li Chengqian looked back to the outside and said: "It seems that there is another heavy rain tonight, and I don't know where it will suffer again."

No one could answer the emperor's question, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had been standing there for some time, Wang Quan reminded him aloud, "Everyone, let's settle down!"

Li Chengqian waved his hands and said, "You all step back!"

"promise!"

After Wang Quan repeatedly confirmed that there was no need to keep the maids to serve the bed, he led the maids back out. Li Chengqian didn't like people staying beside his couch while he was sleeping.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired recently, Li Chengqian fell asleep not long after he went to bed.

Not long after, it rained heavily outside, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a strong wind from time to time, blowing the flag with a grin, and the branches swayed in the wind.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, judging from this posture, it will not stop for a while.

"It's not good! There's a flood! Run!"

Suddenly, the mountain torrent broke out, and the turbulent torrent hit the Xuanwu Gate, and the guarding imperial army hurriedly evacuated upon seeing this.

"What's going on?" Xue Rengui heard the sound of the mountain torrent and saw the forbidden soldiers fleeing for their lives. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed a forbidden soldier and asked.

"General! The mountain torrent broke out, and the flood has already rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate. If you don't leave, it will be too late!" The imperial guard said, his panicked expression declared the fear in his heart.

"What about Your Majesty? How is Your Majesty doing now?" Xue Rengui asked anxiously.

The imperial army fled in all directions, and it was not known whether the emperor in the palace knew that the flood was coming.

"Well, I don't know for sure. The guards are forbidden to enter the palace. How can we know what's going on inside? Besides, the flood is about to arrive. If you don't run, it will be too late!" The guard said anxiously.

What time is it now, the flood is coming soon, who doesn't take care of himself, how can he have the time to take care of others.

Xue Rengui let go of the forbidden army and ran towards the palace. He was going to inform the emperor to avoid the coming flood as soon as possible.

The emperor has the kindness to Xue Rengui, he can't leave the emperor alone, even without the emperor's kindness, as a courtier, it is his duty as a courtier to protect the emperor's safety.

"General, what are you doing here? The flood is coming!" Seeing Xue Rengui running back, the forbidden army asked in puzzlement.

Xue Rengui is a good leader. He loves and cares for the soldiers on weekdays, so the soldiers support him very much.

"Where are the imperial guards who are afraid of death when the emperor is in danger! I will go back and inform His Majesty to evacuate." Xue Rengui said.

"General, you don't want to die! Water and fire are merciless. If you go back, you may die there. Why do you despise your own life so much?" the forbidden army persuaded.

"Since I, Xue Rengui, is on duty in this palace ban, I must do my duty faithfully. How can I not stick to my duty because I will lose my life."

"I am a subject of His Majesty, so naturally I should dedicate myself to His Majesty, how can I leave His Majesty and escape alone." Xue Rengui said, turned around and ran all the way.

Every time he took a quick step, Li Chengqian had an extra chance to get out of danger, and the sound of the roaring flood rang in Xue Rengui's ears.

A voice in his heart kept shouting: "Quick! Faster."

Xue Rengui came to the door, boarded the crossbar in front of the door and shouted loudly: "The flood is coming! Escort Your Majesty to escape."

Hearing movement from inside the door, knowing that the mountain torrent was about to submerge the palace soon, Wang Quan and others rushed into Li Chengqian's bedroom.

At this time, Li Chengqian, who heard the movement outside and also felt something was wrong, got up from the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his boots, and ran outside with his bare feet, just in time to bump into Wang Quan who ran in from the outside.

"What happened?" Li Chengqian asked hastily.

"Everyone, don't ask so many questions! The mountain torrent is about to rush in, and this servant will run away with your back." Wang Quan carried Li Chengqian on his back without saying a word, and ran out. Otherwise, because of Li Chengqian's lameness, he would have been drowned.

Wang Quan came to the high ground with Li Chengqian on his back, and the mountain torrents ruthlessly devoured Li Chengqian's bedroom. Both Li Chengqian and Wang Quan felt like they would survive the catastrophe.

"How did you know that the mountain torrent was coming?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It was Xue Rengui, the leading general on the right, who shouted loudly outside the palace gate, which alarmed the people in the palace. Only then did the slaves know."

"But it's dangerous, we're only one step away... Fortunately, General Xue shouted, and we were able to escape." Wang Quan said.

"Then, how is Xue Rengui's situation now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"This servant doesn't know! General Xue has his own auspiciousness, so there shouldn't be any serious problems." Wang Quan said, running for his life with the emperor on his back, so he didn't have the time to care about other things.

After the flood receded, Li Chengqian returned to the Wannian Palace and rewarded Xue Rengui for his performance this time, rewarding him with an imperial horse, a hundred pieces of silk, and ten taels of gold.

According to statistics, in this flood, more than 3000 people in Jinwei and Linyou County were buried in the flood.
