Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 98 Qinghe County Magistrate Su Baijing

She saw that Steward Lin was of a noble status and begged him to buy her back. Steward Lin looked at the girl in front of him and saw that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. If she was sold to such a place, her life would be ruined.

He thought that he had never married in his life, so keeping her by his side would give him someone to take care of him when he got old, so he brought her back.

After she followed Steward Lin to the palace for a long time, she was the only woman in the palace, and she was brought back by Steward Lin, so everyone was very polite to her.

She also heard that Prince Yi was of marriageable age and had no woman by his side. Gradually, she began to have other thoughts in her mind.

Hearing that the prince would be back today, she went to secretly take a look at Mu Chenyi, and he was indeed more handsome than she had imagined. He had a tall and straight figure, a beautiful face, and an indescribable sense of nobility. She had to find a way to seize the time and make Mu Chenyi look at her differently.

Ting Lan returned to the room and put the tea heavily on the table. She said unwillingly, "Humph, isn't she just a guard of the prince? Why are you so proud? Wait until she marries the prince and see how he will deal with them."

"No, she needs to think carefully about how to get the prince's attention. Otherwise, if she can't even see the prince like this, how can she make the prince like her and marry him..."

In the study, Su Baiyu asked, "Ayi, have you sent a letter to the capital?"

Mu Chenyi said calmly: "Well, it has been sent. Let's take the people and set off first."

"Okay, let's go! I don't know what's going on in Qingzhou City."

Mu Chenyi said to the outside: "Yingyi."

As soon as Ying heard Mu Chenyi calling him, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in, saying respectfully, "Master, what do you want?"

"Go and gather 500 men and leave for Qingzhou City immediately."

Ying Yi accepted the order and said, "Yes, Master."

"Ying San, go prepare the horses. Ying Er, go find Steward Lin and prepare some food and supplies together and send them over later."

Mu Chenyi walked out while giving instructions, and Su Baiyu quickly followed him.

"Yes, master." The two of them responded and hurried down to prepare.

At this time, in Hexi Village, Qinghe County, Qingzhou City, a man in his twenties carried an old man out of the ruins and shouted, "Doctor, come and see this old man quickly."

This person is the county magistrate of Qinghe County, Su Baijing.

"Sir, please leave the person here with us first! We will help take care of him." said an old lady with an injured arm.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all." With everyone's help, he carefully put the old man down, called a doctor to check the wound and apply medicine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble."

The village chief stood up and said, "Your Excellency, what you said is not true. If you hadn't brought people to arrive in time, we wouldn't have been able to get out. We can still help with a little help, and these are our village and relatives."

The person who spoke was the village chief Liu from Hexi Village. As he was old, he could not sleep soundly at night. When he noticed the ground shaking, he woke up the old woman beside him and asked her to get up quickly.

The couple ran out without even having time to put on their coats. The old couple did run out, but their two sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren did not.

The two were worried and anxious but had no choice but to hope that someone would come to help rescue them. However, unexpectedly, only a dozen villagers escaped.

It was dark and the road was difficult to walk on, and there was no way to go to the yamen to find anyone, so they had to save themselves. Fortunately, they only waited for half an hour before Su Baijing and his men came.

"Yes, sir, you should take a rest! You are our backbone. If you collapse from exhaustion, what will we do?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please sit down and have a rest! You haven't slept all night." The others also echoed.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with concern, Su Baijing did not refuse. He had been busy from midnight yesterday to 3am today and had not dared to take a break.

It was really dark at night and it was difficult to see clearly, so it was difficult to find someone. He was really out of strength now, so he sat on the straw beside him.

He looked at everyone looking at the village with sad faces, and comforted them: "Everyone, please sit down! I have sent people to the next town to inform Prince Yi. I believe he will be here soon. We will do our best to rescue everyone."

When everyone heard that Prince Yi was coming, their eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again. Even if Prince Yi came, what could he change?

Everyone knows that an earth dragon turning over is a disaster, and to save people you have to move everything away by hand. It has been two hours, and there are still more than 20 people in the village who have not been rescued. If they are not rescued, it will be very dangerous.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted at the thought of this, and they all looked at the village in silence.

Su Baijing looked at everyone in silence. He didn't know how to comfort them. Any words of comfort would be in vain now.

A young woman holding a two-year-old child cried softly, "Adults, just do your best. We won't blame you."

After she finished speaking, her tears flowed even harder, because her husband had not been rescued yet. Two hours had passed since the earth dragon turned over at midnight. At that time, she happened to be out with her two-year-old son at night, and she felt the ground shaking rapidly.
