Wow! !
The heavy rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops hitting people's faces can even make people feel the slightest pain.
Even though the Tianmenguan garrison soldiers were walking quickly and arduously in the rain, the rain still seeped in through the gaps and soaked everything inside in an instant, leaving no dry place on their bodies.
Strong cultivators can naturally mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to form a spiritual shield around their bodies to keep out the rain, such as Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. At this time, their bodies were surrounded by a layer of water curtain, like a big The tightly-fitting aura shield is like a water ball, making it impossible for rainwater to seep in at all.
Lu Chen's current strength is not enough to deploy the spiritual shield, but as the governor, he will naturally not be caught in the rain.
At this time, he was sitting astride a horse, looking straight into the distance, with no expression on his face, neither sadness nor joy.
Beside him, Fu Hua and Xiao Yun continued to release spiritual energy outward at the same time, maintaining the large-scale spiritual energy shield that they had just opened to wrap themselves and Lu Chen at the same time.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from where Lu Chen was looking.
Click... click...
In the rain curtain, more than ten figures of Qingqi were galloping towards the large army at extremely fast speeds.
Not long after, the leader, a young man with a handsome face and wearing light armor, rushed to Lu Chen not far away. Before the horse could stop, he jumped up and landed in front of Lu Chen with a graceful movement. He bowed slightly towards Lu Chen, cupped his fists and saluted.
"I've met the Governor."
Lu Chen nodded lightly.
"Fang Qianhu, have you found out? What happened over there?"
Fang Yu put down his hand, his expression inexplicably heavy.
"Back to the Governor, there is an unnamed hill near the civilian road over there. The mountain is unstable. Part of the mountain collapsed due to heavy rains, forming a mudslide. Just below there are hundreds of people walking in groups for unknown reasons. Some people were directly hit by the mudslide. It was hit and buried underneath. Now some of the people who were lucky enough to escape are fleeing in all directions, and some are desperately digging through the earth to save others..."
Hearing this, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping suddenly had an ominous premonition. They subconsciously dispersed the water curtain in front of them and looked at Lu Chen.
However, before they could see Lu Chen's face clearly, his decisive voice sounded in their ears:
"The whole army obeys the order!"
The two of them suddenly looked tense.
Then Lu Chen slowly rode forward and said in a loud voice: "Except for the baggage troops and Mr. Xiao, as well as the Xuanji Guards who protect Mr. Xiao, everyone is waiting with me to rescue people!"
Amidst the rumbling water, Lu Chen's voice, blessed by secret magic, rang in the ears of all the soldiers.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding Yuzhou Guard generals immediately changed, and a negative emotion gradually appeared in their eyes as they looked at Lu Chen.
However, before they could speak, Fang Yu's face changed drastically and he stopped him first: "No, Lord Governor!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes immediately turned cold.
"Why did Fang Qianhu obstruct me?"
"Lord Governor, calm down."
Fang Yu hurriedly held up his hands and explained: "The general just observed carefully and found that after the mudslide there, the mountain has temporarily stabilized, but if the rain continues like this, there will probably be a second wave of mudslides, and this time The second wave of mudslides is probably more terrifying than the first wave, and it is very likely to bury everyone at the foot of the mountain in an instant."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but his expression changed.
Fang Yu, who had been observing his face, saw this and thought that he had been persuaded by herself. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then took advantage of the situation and continued to persuade:
"The general knows that the governor cares about the people, but it is too dangerous there. How can the governor, with his wealth of money, be easily involved in danger? What's more, before we left the capital, your majesty specifically asked us to protect you, no matter what. No matter what, we must not let you make any mistakes, Mr. Governor, otherwise we will die without redemption, and please do not make things difficult for us, Mr. Governor."
Hearing this, a glimmer of light quietly flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
oh? Is it so dangerous there?
If you go to rescue someone, you will most likely be buried alive by a mudslide and die in the line of duty?
And such good things? !
Gan, this is another good idea!
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly flashed.
Following Fang Yu's persuasion, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others relaxed in unison.
Good boy, if you can speak, speak more!
Hurry and persuade this reckless dog officer to stop, don't let him be stupid again!
Even if we are forced to march in such bad weather, we are still allowed to take huge risks to the foot of dangerous mountains? And it's just to save those people who don't care what happens?
Does this bitch have shit in his head?
You're a fucking civil servant, haven't you ever heard of the saying "The son of a rich man will not sit in danger"? And you don’t care about yourself even though you have a body worth thousands of dollars, but you still want to drag us together. Why? !
Why should I do this for the common people who have nothing to do with me as a great general?
"fart!"
Just when Su Shuang and others were expecting Fang Yu to persuade Lu Chen, Lu Chen's sudden shout shattered their illusions mercilessly.
But he saw his eyes widened, glaring at Fang Yu angrily.
"What a bullshit body. I, Lu Chen, am just like the common people. I am just a human body. I will die when I am killed, and I will feel pain when I am injured. How can I be more noble than them? I am not diligent in my limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and grains. Why are people nobler than the common people who have been supporting the imperial court?"
Hearing this, expressions of emotion appeared on Fu Hua and Xiao Yun's faces at the same time.
Lu Chen and Lu Guishi are truly the most benevolent and kind people in the world!
But Fang Yu, who was scolded by Lu Chen, didn't have any anger on his face. Instead, there was a hint of respect in his eyes, and even his bow was deeper than before.
"Fang Qianhu, for His Majesty's sake, I don't have to criticize you harshly, but you must remember it."
Lu Chen gently put his hand on the hilt of the Jidao Sword, and said with a solemn expression: "Your salary and salary are the people's blessings. As an official of the imperial court, since you have taken the people's contributions, when the people are in trouble, you will not It's a pity that I have been able to shirk it, otherwise, the cashier would be unfair and the gains and losses would be unbalanced, how could it last long!"
Hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but be startled. After reacting, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and responded solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Governor, for your kind words. I will... be taught by you!"
Seeing this scene, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were immediately disappointed.
Lu Chen snorted coldly, stopped looking at Fang Yu, and then turned to look at Xiao Yun.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Shangshu, I can't go with you on the next journey."
He said apologetically: "Looking at the weather here, we know that the flood situation must be very serious now. There is no delay. I would like to trouble Xiao Shangshu to take the troops to go ahead and rush to the dam area to take charge of the flood control."
