The horse grew wings. This was the only possibility Shi Anxia could think of.

Cen Yuan explained very patiently, "It's not a horse, it's a carriage made of iron sheets, and it has two large wings installed on it."

Shi Anxia laughed, "What kind of story are you telling me? Even if you equip the carriage with ten big wings, it won't be able to fly."

Cen Yuan was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain the airplane to the little girl. So he changed the subject, "For example, we can have an instant conversation with our father in the capital. If he asks, 'Is there an earthquake?', you say, 'No, I'm waiting.'"

Shi Anxia finally laughed out loud like a silver bell. It wasn't because she didn't believe it, but because she couldn't imagine it.

A woman who was once the Queen Mother of a country, no matter how many new things she had seen, she could not imagine that she was speaking here and that her father could have a conversation with her in the capital.

Next, she asked a pointed question, "There shouldn't be earthquakes there, right?"

"Have."

"Well... since we have flying carriages, earthquakes shouldn't be that scary, right?"

This... Cen Yuan was somewhat helpless, "It will be even more terrifying."

"Why? Aren't they all flying?"

Cen Yuan burst out laughing.

The two asked and answered each other, and walked hand in hand down the tower. They stood among the people, waiting together for the second shoe to fall.

At the hour of Chou, the sea was still calm and there was no earthquake.

Seeing that the princess was kind, everyone dared to ask, "Princess, maybe the earthquake won't come again."

Others laughed, "Maybe the earthquake was frightened by our northern wing's momentum and went straight to Liang State, hahahahahaha..."

Shi Anxia didn't say anything, but just shook Cen Yuan's hand with his backhand.

Cen Yuan lowered his head and smiled, without showing any strange expression, and said loudly, "There are also sorcerers in Liang State who have calculated that there will be an earthquake at Chou time, and they are waiting as well."

Everyone talked at once, "No wonder, I see they have troops stationed in Gufang in Dong'an County."

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. The first time I knew about the New Year's Goods Festival was in Fengcheng, Dong'an County. I was so envious at the time. But when I got home, I found out that we also have the Yuncheng New Year's Goods Festival."

"It turns out that everyone knows that there will be earthquakes during the Chou hour!"

Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan firmly believed that the earthquake would definitely come. Life may be different because of choices, but the disaster of nature will not stop because of someone's change.

At that time, Anxia was not in Chang'an County, but in the capital.

The files she read that year recorded an earthquake at the hour of Chou. This earthquake almost reduced the entire city of Chang'an to ruins.

A carriage hurriedly came in the night, and two people got out of the carriage, one was the Minister of Works Gao Pinyuan, and the other was the Minister of Revenue Tang Chuyu.

The two men rushed all the way from the capital in order to make the best arrangements when the disaster struck.

Tang Chuyu just shouted, "Xia'er..."

Suddenly, the earth shook, sand and rocks flew, and the sky spun.

The earth was shaking and the sky was angry.

Although the people had made preparations, they still panicked at this moment. Some cried, some shouted, and the whole place was in chaos.

Shi Anxia lost her balance and fell into Cen Yuan's arms.

Her hands clutched his arms tightly.

He quickly pressed her head into his arms, stood steadily, and wrapped her tightly with his cloak.

A deep voice fell from above her head, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shi Anxia buried her head tightly in Cen Yuan's chest, her whole body trembling. It was her first time experiencing an earthquake, and she realized it was more terrifying than she had imagined.

In the face of God, all calculations are in vain.

Human beings are so small.

It seems like a long life, but in fact it is only a short time.

In Yuncheng, in an extremely sturdy courtyard, Tang Chujun and others hugged each other and screamed softly.

Shi Anxue cried, "Our night baby... wuwuwu... please don't get hurt... I'm so scared..."

Yu Sujun hugged her daughter and comforted her, "Baby Ye will be fine. Baby Ye will stay in Chang'an County to work. Don't worry."

"Woo, woo, woo, will it die?"

"No, no, definitely not." Hong Que also tried to comfort him with red eyes, but she was choking with sobs and turned around and started crying, "Young Master said Ye Baoer is going to be a search and rescue dog, wuwu, can't he not go?"

Tang Chujun supported Yao Sheng while answering, "Ye Bao'er's nose is so sharp, it can save many people if it goes there. Don't cry, crying makes people panic."

After hearing her words, everyone stopped crying.

Yuncheng is safe.

But even though the houses in Chang'an County were reinforced, many houses still collapsed.

At dawn, Shi Anxia and Cen Yuan rushed to Chang'an County City. Along the way, the ground cracked on all sides and black water gushed out.

Rocks were scattered all over the ground and trees were fallen.

The carriage can't pass, so we have to walk.

Cen Yuan looked at the delicate little girl and felt a little reluctant. "How about you stay in Yuncheng and wait? I'll take people there first."

Shi Anxia took a pair of scissors from the carriage and cut the cloak in half, then raised her bright face and said, "Let's go. I can walk back. Youzhou is my fiefdom, and I have to go back."

In other words, she is the backbone of Youzhou. If she stays in Yuncheng, the people and officials will lose morale.

It's like she can't lift anything with her hands or carry anything on her shoulders, can't shoot an arrow or hold a knife, but she still wants to lead the army in person.

Because she is the backbone.

With her around, people's hearts are on their side and morale is boosted.

Cen Yuan naturally knew this truth, she just felt sorry for her.

Shi Anxia ordered, "Bei Hui, follow the carriage back to Yuncheng and wait. You don't have to follow."

Bei Hui was not happy, "Madam, you must have someone to serve you. I will not go back, I will follow you."

Shi Anxia saw her determined face and said helplessly, "Life in Chang'an County will be very hard."

Bei Hui supported Shi Anxia as they walked, "If you can endure the hardship, why can't I?"

When they arrived at an open space outside the outskirts of Chang'an County, they walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. There was smoke rising from cooking fires and the sound of people bustling about.

There were people everywhere and cries everywhere.

But it was full of the smell of life and vitality, which was very different from the record in the files that "Chang'an County City was full of death."

An official came forward to report the disaster to the princess and her husband. A small number of houses in Chang'an County still collapsed, but compared with the "hundreds of thousands" recorded in the records, it was already very good.

The Ministry of Industry has made an indelible contribution.

The official said, "Nearby villages were displaced, and the ground cracked into channels. Some villages fell directly into the cracks and disappeared."

Of course, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, and humans also disappeared.

Shi Anxia flipped through the official record book, "Have these villages arranged people to be responsible for guiding them?"

"Yes." The official reported truthfully, "The villagers who listened to our advice have now been resettled in this open space. But some refused to listen and were taken out by force. They also used various tricks to hide under their beds or in cellars to avoid our searches."

Shi Anxia sighed, "Okay, you guys did your best. Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's my job, not hard work." The official hesitated, "Well..."

Shi Anxia's heart suddenly sank, "What happened to my Ye Baoer?"
