The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

The rain didn't seem to have weakened at night, and the tick-tock tick-tock fell on the roof, ding-ding-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong, like a drum being knocked on the roof, and it kept ringing.

Xuan Zhan didn't sleep well last night, he had traveled all day during the day, and was extremely tired, but the person he was holding in his arms didn't seem to be very comfortable, and he didn't feel safe for half the night.

He was always alert, and with this person beside him who made him miss him, his sleep became more and more shallow.

After tossing and tossing for the second half of the night, the person in his arms finally calmed down, and he barely closed his eyes and fell asleep soundly.

However, less than an hour later, he was awakened by the sudden noise from outside.

"...the flood is coming—" "Quick... ouch..."

"... Dashui... Ouch, what should I do..."

Xuan Zhan woke up from his sleep, and the noise outside became clearer.

"Quick! Save the water..."

Save water?The building was flooded?

Before he got up, Fuquan's eager shout sounded outside the door, "Master! Master!"

"What's the matter?" Xuan Zhan asked, holding the person in his arms with one hand, propping up the bed with the other.

"Master! The city is flooded!" Fuquan said urgently, "The east of the city is low and the water has already reached half a person's height.

"What!?" Xuan Zhan was startled suddenly, "Geor! Wake up!"

Yun Ghou hadn't slept soundly for half the night before, and after finally falling asleep, he fell into a deeper sleep. Being picked up by Xuan Zhan, his mind was still not clear.

"Grief! Grief wake up, the city is flooded!"

Xuan Zhan picked him up, told him to sit upright, turned over and got off the couch, took the clothes from the shelf beside him, and when he turned around, Yun Ghou was sitting on the couch with a much clearer expression, listening to the conversation outside Noisy, with serious eyes.

"His Majesty……"

Xuan Zhan touched his cheek and comforted him, "Don't panic, the east of the city is the lowest, and the city is flooded, this place must bear the brunt of it, you clean up first, I'll go and have a look first."

Without even thinking about it, Yun Wei grabbed his wrist with his backhand, "Your Majesty, no."

In his capacity, how could he be in danger?

"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion." Xuan Zhan leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, "I'll come as soon as I go." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Yun Gui's objection.

"Your Majesty!" Yun Ghou stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was empty. He took a step after him, but the man hurriedly opened the door, whispered a few words to Fu Quan in front of the door, and disappeared in a flash.

"Your Majesty..." Yun You opened his mouth, but because the man walked away, he suppressed the taboo address at this moment.

"Master Yun, let's clean up quickly." Fuquan came in and said eagerly after hitting a thousand children.

Yun Ghou collected himself and asked sharply, "What's the situation outside?"

"Returning to Master, it's dark outside right now, and I don't know the specific situation, but the flood has already entered the house, and it's already a mess!" Fuquan said anxiously, and took the clothes for him to wear. , "Master, let's pack up quickly. When His Majesty comes back, leave here quickly."

Yun Wei nodded slightly, then took the clothes, "You go and tidy it up, I will do it myself." Yongcheng is low in terrain and surrounded by rivers on both sides. In the hundred years since the city was built, it has only been washed by floods twice, both of which were events of the previous dynasty. up.

Water conservancy and river construction have always been a major issue of people's livelihood that the imperial court attaches great importance to. Because of Yongzhou's terrain, the imperial court attaches great importance to it. Since Dayin established the dynasty, no matter how big the flood season has never been, such a thing has never happened!

Now, I'm afraid it will make that person furious!

The situation was urgent, Fu Quan's movements were astonishingly nimble, and before Yun Ghou could dress neatly, he had already arranged everything.

"Master Yun, His Majesty ordered this servant to wait here for his return."

"En." Yun Ghou nodded, "What time is it?"

"It's almost Yin time." Yun Ghou pushed open the window, the fires on the street were dotted with dots, against the background of the fires, one could barely see the half-human-height water filling every inch of it.

Crying and exclamation mixed together, at first it was far or near, and then gradually increased, people were panicked.

Yun Wai's brows were tightly frowned, and he was digging at the window sill with his palms, feeling a sudden daze in his heart.

He was young after all, even though he was used to seeing life and death in the army, he had never experienced such a sudden emergency, he had no clue at all for a while, and he didn't know what he could do at this moment.

"Master, sit down and have a rest." Even under the firelight, Fuquan's pale face looked worried.

This little master's body has always been weak, these days he managed to recuperate a little bit, but after two days of going out, he has become like this, not to mention His Majesty, he felt very distressed just looking at it.

Yun Ghou shook his head, turned around and looked at the panic-stricken cries on the porch outside the house, but he still couldn't see the person coming back, "Go and see, why hasn't His Majesty come back yet?"

"Yes." Fuquan nodded hurriedly, "Then master, please don't go out, the slave will go and have a look."

"go quickly."

Fuquan turned around and ran outside.

Yun Wei stayed in the room alone, suppressing the throbbing in his chest, his backache and abdominal pain made him unable to stand, so he had to force himself to sit down and wait for the news.

Since last night, there has been some dull pain in the lower abdomen, and now it seems to be a little more serious. It is not an unbearable colic, but a dull pain, which is not obvious but uncomfortable.

He put his hands on it, rubbed it lightly, thinking, it must be some discomfort in his spleen and stomach, and he has been away from home for the past two days, not to mention the fright he experienced yesterday, there should be nothing serious, so Did not take it to heart.

The man had gone out for a quarter of an hour, and Fu Quan also went out for a cup of tea, but no one came back for a long time. He was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to go out.

He knew that at this moment, the only thing he could do was to wait here, and it would be useless for him to go out in this dark and chaotic time.

After another cup of tea, they finally waited for the two to come back.

"His Majesty!"

"Geor." Xuan Zhan stepped forward quickly, hugged him and walked away, "Let's get out of here."

"How's the situation?" Yun Yao asked as he followed him to the outside room.

"The city was indeed flooded, the specific situation is not known yet, let's go out of the city first and talk about it." Xuan Zhan took him out, and there were not many people left in the inn, and it was empty and deserted.

"The gate of the city has not been opened yet." It is still early, at this hour, the gate of the city has not been opened at all, how to get out of the city?

"The city is flooded, and the magistrate will open the city gates to let the people in the city escape. In the entire Yongcheng, only the east of the city is low, and the west and north of the city are the highest. Let's go to the north of the city."

I went downstairs, but before I reached the bottom of the building, I waded into the water.

"Be careful, follow me closely and don't let go." With both feet in the water, Xuan Zhan turned his head and told him uneasy.

At the moment the outside is dark, there are floods and panicked crowds, once lost, in this panic-stricken flood, trying to find someone is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

There are still two or three hours before dawn, and the situation of the disaster is unknown, but in any case, it is impossible to stay here and wait for death.

Yun Wei nodded, and passed his other hand back to Fu Quan behind him, "Eunuch Fu, follow up, don't get lost."

Fuquan looked at the hand that was offered, and was dumbfounded.

"Eunuch Fu! Why are you still in a daze?" The outstretched hand did not move for a long time, Yun Ghou turned around to look, but saw Fu Quan staring at his hand in a daze.

"Master, this slave can do it by himself." Fuquan bit his lips, his words choked up, and tears glistened in his eyes.

He is just a slave, a slave whose life is as cheap as an ant!His life is contemptible and insignificant in anyone's eyes, but at this moment, for the first time, he realizes that he is alone!To be regarded as a living person by this master!

"Don't be brave, this moment is different than usual, follow me and Your Majesty carefully." Yun Wei said without any explanation, grabbed his wrist and walked away.

Looking at the two masters in front of him, Fuquan took a deep breath, and followed with trembling steps, "The slave is getting tougher!"

Knowing that he was kind-hearted, Xuan Zhan didn't say anything about it, just took his hand, lit the torch in his hand, and left the inn to the north of the city.

After leaving the inn and going down to the street, the water had already reached his waist, and the flood had spread across the entire road. He couldn't ride a horse or drive a car, so he had to walk in the water with two legs.

Fortunately, the water does not rush down from a high place, but slowly spreads up from a low place. The water is not rushing, but walking in the water is also very strenuous.
