Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

This sandstorm came suddenly, and although they responded as quickly as possible, it still caused a lot of losses.

First of all, in terms of casualties, thanks to the traction of ropes, when the sandstorm came, several people were almost blown away, but they were stabilized by the ropes, so no one died, but there were still many people with minor injuries.

After all, there is everything in the sand. Small stones and the like are good, and there are also quite a few like the tree trunks that caused Xiao Yi to be injured this time. It's just that the others were lucky and didn't fall on their heads.

The other issue is cargo, which is probably where the most serious losses occurred.

Although the carriage was damaged, the goods were at least still there. Some things on the cart were simply blown away. The more I counted them, the sadder I felt.

But compared to losing life, only losing some goods is already a good result.

Compared with them, the refugees were obviously more miserable because they did not know how to deal with it. When the sandstorm came, they fled in panic. Some of them even didn't know where they were blown to, and it was expected that they were in great danger.

Because of this incident, the refugees who had originally surrounded Shi Anan and his caravan have now dispersed, and the caravan can pack up and leave at any time.

But when Shi Anan looked around and saw the miserable state of the remaining refugees, he called the person in charge of the security team and ordered, "Send someone to spread the news and let these refugees go to Qinghe County and tell them that they can be accepted there."

After she finished giving the order, Xiao Yi said, "I'm afraid these people may not believe it. This place is too far from Qinghe County."

Shi Anan smiled helplessly: "It's up to them whether to believe it or not, but I feel guilty if I don't do something."

She was out now, and she didn't bring enough food to help everyone here, but it was different in Qinghe County. And this time she came out to attract people, so it was not difficult to give these refugees a hint.

If they don't believe it, she can't force them to go, but she believes that someone will seize this opportunity to survive.

She had asked about the situation in Qinghe County and Guangming Town through the team channel as soon as the sandstorm ended. Because the terrain in those two places was not as flat and open as this side, and there were protective shields, they were not greatly affected except that the wind was a little stronger.

After the incident on the road, the journey was much smoother. However, after being hit by the sandstorm, the environment along the road became worse, and I don’t know whether the provincial capital was affected.

In addition, due to the damage to the carriage and some injuries to the personnel, their progress became slower and they arrived at the provincial capital half a month later than scheduled.

Originally, Shi Anan planned to let the caravan members sell the goods on their own, and at the same time promote Qinghe County to attract some refugees to settle there, while she and Xiao Yi took people to look for sulfur mines.

But unexpectedly, this accident caused Xiao Yi to be injured. Although he recovered relatively quickly after using the system's medicine, it was impossible not to be tired after walking on the road for so long. So this time, Shi Anan planned to go into the city with the caravan to rest, and then go looking for sulfur mines after Xiao Yi recovered better.

The full name of the provincial capital is Cangwu City, which was named after the establishment of the Tianqi Dynasty. In the past, this place was plagued by bandits and was poor and remote, so almost no one wanted to come here. Later, because the founding emperor of the Tianqi Dynasty was determined to rectify the chaos here, it gradually became better and formed a city.

But even so, there are still few people willing to come here to be officials. The reason is naturally because this place is too poor. If you come here to be an official, there is basically no hope of promotion.

The previous person in charge of Cangwu City was a local. If not for this, he would not have requested to be transferred here. Although he did not make much achievement, at least he did not make Cangwu City worse.

It was a pity that he collapsed due to his old age and the many natural disasters he encountered. After he collapsed, Cangwu City was in chaos for a while, until the Lingnan Governor Zhao Zhong came here and stabilized the situation.

The imperial court is now in name only, and the people don't care who is in office. They will recognize whoever does a good job.

Just when Shi Anan and others were preparing to enter Cangwu City, Shi Zhengde, who had also escaped from Liangzhou City, had arrived in Cangwu City before them, and coincidentally met his daughter Shi Wanqing.

The time goes back to half a month ago. At that time, Shi Anan and others were moving slowly on the road because they had just encountered a sandstorm.

On the other side, Shi Zhengde, Su Muya and others who came from Liangzhou City had already been hit by a sandstorm on the way. However, they were lucky. The place where they were when the sandstorm came was not empty. They were safe after hiding on the mountain wall for a while.

They knew about the incident in Liangzhou City after An Er came back with the news. Because they were riding in a carriage and there were few people and light luggage, they were already very far away from Liangzhou City when An Er caught up with them. When they heard that Liangzhou City had been broken and the Lord of Liangzhou had died in the battle, Su Muya fainted from grief.

Even if she wanted to go back after she woke up, not only would Shi Zhengde not agree, even An Yi and An Er would not agree. After all, the order they received was to send the young lady to a safe place, and this safe place was Cangwu City.

Coincidentally, Zhao Zhong of Cangwu City had an acquaintance with the Lord of Liangzhou City a few years ago. Although there were some conflicts due to some stance issues at that time, the Lord of Liangzhou City was assured of Zhao Zhong's character, and the two of them also had some sense of mutual appreciation. The two had kept in touch for many years, so Su Zhen knew that Zhao Zhong was in Cangwu City at this moment.

However, because the two places are too far apart, it takes a long time to send a message, let alone meet each other. Both of them are the lords of a city and will not leave their city easily.

On the day when Su Zhen's spies reported that the King of the North was about to arrive in Liangzhou, although he did not know whether the comer was an enemy or a friend, he made preparations in advance and thought about where Su Muya would go. He even sent someone to deliver a letter to Cangwu City that day. However, he did not expect that the King of the North would come too quickly. Before he received a reply, Liangzhou was broken.

However, although he did not receive a reply, Su Zhen still asked the secret guards to take Su Muya to Cangwu City. They also carried a letter written by Su Zhen himself, which was naturally addressed to Zhao Zhong. As long as Zhao Zhong was still in charge of Cangwu City, he believed that this good friend would arrange a place for his daughter to stay.

If something goes wrong with Zhao Zhong as well, then the only option is for the secret guards to take Su Muya to find another safe place to hide, and live in seclusion until order is restored. This is the best solution the Lord of Liangzhou can think of in an emergency.

Because no matter how Su Muya insisted on going back after she woke up, An Yi and An Er always insisted on carrying out the final order of the Lord of Liangzhou City. How could Su Muya, a weak woman, leave on her own? She could only sit there silently and cry.

Seeing her posture, Zhengde became more and more annoyed. It was already such a late hour and she just knew how to cry. In the past, when he had nothing to do, his daughter's delicate appearance could still arouse his sympathy, but now this situation only made him more disgusted.

But there was no other way, the secret guard was someone else's, so he had to endure it.

Fortunately, we are almost at Cangwu City!
