Chapter 120 Natural and Man-made Disaster
Because Mu Yizhi's body was inconvenient to move, Mu Qingya had to stay in Guangdu Temple to take care of her father! Fortunately, because the royal driver has to stay here for a period of time, there is no need to worry too much, and Mu Yizhi will suffer from bumps again!
Now that it has entered August, the weather in Jiangnan is particularly sultry. Mu Qingya sits aside with a little bit, but she can't see it in her eyes with a book!
Leqin came in with a basin in her face full of smiles: "Miss, this is sent by the seventh prince. It's ice! It's cool, and the maidservant put it next to the master and make it cool and cool!"
Mu Qingya took the bull's head and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my father?" What the weather is most afraid of is the wound swelling. Some time ago, Mu Yizhi's condition continued to deteriorate because of the wound. Fortunately, Duanmu Lingyu sent ice cubes, which made his condition much better!
Le Qin: "Miss, don't worry, there are several basins in the master's room. It's cool and tight. Dr. Xu also went to check it and said that the wound has begun to scab. It's not a big deal. Some time ago, the fever was also because the wound began to grow new flesh. You don't have to worry so much!"
Le Qi fanned the fan. It was really much cooler. The irritation in Mu Qingya's heart gradually subsided a little: "What did the emperor do today?"
"I heard that the scenery next to Huaishui has been very beautiful recently, which is cooler than here. The emperor went to the palace over there! Several princes are also following me!" Leqi said.
Mu Qingya frowned and looked out through the window. The weather has been particularly sultry these days, so hot that it is almost breathless. She has lived in Linjiang City for a period of time. Although it is normal for Jiangnan to have a hot weather in summer, it is not as annoying as it is now, leaving only the noise of cicadas. Those trees The leaves seemed to be baked dry, and it turned out to be a white scene, and a sense of uneasiness permeated my heart, and then said:
"Leqi, pay more attention to it these days. I always feel that something is going to happen!"
Le Qi was stunned and then nodded: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention to it!" Master, it's too hot. Please change your clothes. I can see that your clothes are almost soaked!"
Mu Qingya nodded. Her body was cold. When others felt hot, she felt that the temperature was just right, but she didn't expect that even she couldn't stand the heat this time. It can be seen that the weather is really unbearable! I was about to change my clothes, but the door was pushed open with a bang. Leqi hurried forward and blocked Mu Qingya behind him. After seeing who the person was, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Wei Xi, you can also break into Miss's room. Be careful that the master exposes your skin!"
"Miss!" Wei Xi gasped, and his eyes were red!
Le Qi felt something was wrong and quickly came forward to support him: "What's wrong with you?"
Before he finished asking, Wei Xi's body trembled, spit out a mouthful of blood, pushed Leqi away, barely suppressed the rolling gas and blood in his chest, and said, "Miss... Something big has happened! The master accompanied the emperor to the Huaishui Xinggong... When passing by the river embankment, some people came out to block and sue the officials in the south of the Yangtze River for corruption and bribery, but they didn't expect that before the emperor could ask questions, the Huaihe River embankment suddenly burst, and hundreds of people on the bank were instantly involved in the river..." Wei Xi said, with a slight red eyes and a trace of fright in his eyes. The scene just just stimulated him too much. It was hundreds of lives that were harvested in an instant. There were also gray-haired old men and ignorant children. "Fortunately, the emperor was far away, but he was not hit, but he was also shocked. The imperial doctor was consulting!"
Mu Qingya suddenly stood up. The weather was so hot, but she still felt cold. She asked coldly, "How can a good river embankment suddenly burst?"
"The master also has this question. He is investigating and asks me to come here and tell you first! The Huai River is now everywhere, and it is estimated that several towns along the border have been flooded by now!" Wei Xi frowned tightly, and his eyebrows were full of pain!
Mu Qingya frowned tightly, and all kinds of thoughts quickly turned in her mind. For a long time, she looked at Wei Xi, who was still kneeling on the ground: "What's wrong with your injury?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm a slave. I just went into the water to save a child and was hit in the chest by the wood flowing down the water!"
"Stay here and rest first, and I'll ask Leqi to reply to the seventh prince!" Looking at his pale face, Mu Qingya said.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm fine, but my internal body was shaken. I just highlighted a mouthful of blood and now I feel much better. There are still a lot of things around the master, and I dare not delay!"
Seeing his insistence, Mu Qingya didn't say anything more. She only checked his pulse and felt that there was no big problem before saying, "Go and tell the seventh prince that this matter is absolutely not simple. Let him check it carefully! Since Jiangnan is going to be chaotic, then it will be completely chaotic! If you are in chaos, you can't cure it. Since you are in chaos, you should simply completely pull out the cancer in Jiangnan and receive it in your own hands! Huaishui has burst the embankment, and no matter how sad it is, nothing can stand it. The key is to find a way to control the flood!"
Wei Xi was stunned and his heart was shocked: "Yes, I'm going now!" It turned out that the master asked him to come and tell Mu Qingya. He thought it was just that the master remembered her, but he didn't expect that there was a big gully in Miss Mu's heart. In the face of such a big Jiangnan, the master would hesitate, but he didn't expect that a woman to have such courage. If Jiangnan could really be under his command this time, then the master's big Why can't you worry about it?
Send Wei Xi away, and Leqi came in: "Miss, someone really made this matter on purpose?"
Mu Qingya moved her eyes slightly: "I'm not sure yet, but nine out of ten people are man-made!" When she came, she specially looked at the embankment of the Huaihe River. Although the embankment was not solid, she would never have any worries in more than a decade. Now that the river has not risen in a large area, but the embankment has collapsed. It doesn't make sense! Thinking of what happened before, there is no one here to do anything!
When Leqi heard this, her face suddenly looked very ugly. She had also killed people, but she had never killed innocent people indiscriminately. Suddenly, she heard such news, but her heart was extremely uncomfortable!
Mu Qingya took a look at her and did not comfort her. She only told her not to tell Mu Yizhi about this matter. Her father has a strong personality. If she heard this news, she would have to climb to the Huai River to watch it. She really can't rest assured!
Three days passed in a flash, and it hasn't appeared since Wei Xi came. Leqi and Leqin have been looking forward to the news all day long, so they can only be anxious! Looking at the hotter weather, Mu Qingya's mood tightened slightly. The Huai River has always been known for its rapid flow of water. The previous dynasty caused heavy losses in the south of the Yangtze River due to several breaches. Later, this dike was built to divide the Huai River and govern it, which controlled the Huai River and allowed the people on both sides to live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, successive kings paid special attention to the Huai River. For governance, even Duanmuqing has allocated countless money to repair the dam every year, but he didn't expect that there was still a mess in the end! How dare those people reach out to the embankment of the Huaihe River? Do they really dare to use any method to compete for a throne? They are not afraid that thousands of innocent people will swallow them in their lives!
They were worried about the Huaishui dam, but they didn't want to be caught off guard by more difficult things!
In the middle of the night, a shocking sound came down, and the sound couldn't wait to make the whole Jiangnan tremble! After the thunder, the pouring rain came one after another, and the rain poured down like a splash!
Mu Qingya suddenly sat up and couldn't even wear her shoes. When she came to the window alone, Fang opened the window and the oncoming rain instantly wet her clothes. Leqi ran in and saw this scene. He quickly stepped forward to protect Mu Qingya and closed the window: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Change your clothes quickly!"
Mu Qingya's expression was stunned, and her mood suddenly became heavy. The worst thing happened! Le Qi saw that her expression was abnormal and thought that she was scared by the thunder just now. He wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Miss, are you all right?"
Mu Qingya shook her head and changed her clothes and sat in front of the lamp without saying a word. Her eyes were as silent as a lake, deep without any waves!
"Leqi," after a long time, Mu Qingya finally said, "Do you have a way to contact the seventh prince?"
Le Qi nodded: "If you have any orders, just say that I can go there in person!"
Mu Qingya sighed slightly: "No need!"
"Miss, don't worry so much. After three days, the Huaihe River should have been almost dealt with, and the disaster victims should be properly settled!"
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips feebly, and the more she smiled under the light, the more sad she got: "If it's really as you said, it'll be fine!"
The heavy rain fell continuously all night, and there was no sign of stopping until the hour. Even the whole sky is still like night. People need to light the lights in the room, and there is no sign of lighting up at all!
Looking at the worried Mu Qingya, Leqi also felt that things were unusual. After eating something with Mu Qingya, he carefully asked, "Miss, this weather..."
Mu Qingya walked to the door and looked around. There was a blank space between heaven and earth. The accumulated water in the yard had reached people's calves. This is still on the mountain. I think there is already a vast ocean at the foot of the mountain! But the sky is still like an opening, and the rain continues to fall down!
"I don't think the weather will get better for a while..."
Leqi was shocked: "Isn't the people in the south of the Yangtze River going to suffer!"
"If it's just a flood, it's still the lightest..." The quiet voice is like a sigh, but it's as heavy as a mountain in the heart of Leqi!
