The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became. Suddenly a cold sweat broke out on Chen Xiaobei's back. If it was really a flash flood, he would have long...
Thank God. The past few months since I arrived have been uneventful.
Chen Xiaobei quickly turned around and walked back.
According to what a few people just said, it rains very heavily on Qingniu Mountain, and the flood has to find an outlet, so this thing.
He had seen the power of floods before.
A flash flood at the end of autumn is no joke.
Chen Xiaobei turned around and ran towards his ancestor's home.
Seeing him coming, the ancestor seemed quite surprised and greeted him warmly to sit down.
"Xiao Bei, why do you have time to come to this bad old man like me?"
"Ancestor, I want to ask you, have there ever been flash floods on Qingniu Mountain?"
After hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, the ancestor's expression paused for a moment.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, then nodded slightly.
"It rained a lot last night, but Qingniu Mountain hasn't had a flood in at least fifty years."
Fifty years, in this era, many people will not live to be fifty years old.
"Ancestor, I met someone coming down the mountain this morning and said the mountain was very steep. I was worried..."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, the ancestor nodded slightly.
"Yes, if it rains heavily in the mountains, flash floods are possible."
Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned, "You live outside, so be careful."
"Ancestor, I want to simply repair it down the mountain. A smaller flood might be able to stop it."
The ancestor frowned and thought for a while, then couldn't help but smile.
"You, it's better not to think about it. The flood coming down from the mountain is like a galloping horse. How can you stop it?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't say a word, but stood up and left.
The ancestors are right, there are only two reasons why you can stop the galloping horses. One is that you are coming down from the mountain too fast, and the other is that the exit is too small.
Fortunately, the section at the foot of Qingniu Mountain is relatively gentle.
Therefore, the water potential will not be too fast, that can only be another possibility. It's just that the exit is too small. Think about it, the mountain pass is indeed a bit small. It's strange that there is no rush when a large flood comes.
But now that the water flow has begun to rise, I am improvising. What should I do?
Chen Xiaobei returned to the foot of Qingniu Mountain again. The water was already up to his knees, and the water flow to the fish pond was obviously stronger.
This is a dangerous sign.
Just after crossing the current, we walked up for a while.
I used to go up the mountain every day and didn't care about this situation, but today I can see that more than a mile up the mountain, the drainage channel is indeed very narrow. It is not difficult to understand why our ancestors said that.
The only remedy he could do now was to go home quickly and take Cui Hongyu away from his old house temporarily.
At the same time, I pray that my worries are just unfounded and the flood will not be too big.
Just when Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu hurriedly moved to their new home, Liu Rumei looked serious.
According to the reports of the following people, they killed the last few people at the longan position provided by Sima Wushuang.
They thought they had cleared the way for the prince to enter the mountain, but when they were about to go down the mountain, they found that more than a dozen unidentified people had gone up the mountain.
Although these people look like ordinary people dressed up. But obviously it cannot be ordinary people.
But it is obvious that these people are not from the Imperial Preceptor. If they were from the Imperial Preceptor, Sima Wushuang would definitely tell them.
If someone is not a national teacher, then who can he be?
Liu Ce raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the lady on the princess side?"
Liu Rumei nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then he is here for the prince."
Liu Ce waved his fist angrily, "It's just the right time to avenge old and new grudges, and let him die in Qingniu Mountain."
However, Liu Rumei waved her hand, "Don't worry, let's wait until the prince comes. If both sides fight, one will be injured, and the one who will be the most powerful will be the national master."
"But, they treated the Second Young Master..."
Liu Ce said, his eyes already red.
Liu Rumei nodded gently, "I don't think so, but we have to put the overall situation first."
"Okay, go get ready and follow me to the county seat to meet His Royal Highness."
Just as Liu Rumei rushed to the county seat, the secret report about Chen Ermao also returned to the capital.
After reading the secret report about Chen Ermao, Imperial Advisor Liu Xiangnan couldn't help but sigh.
"It's ridiculous. I, the noble Protector of the Country, was actually deceived by a countryman."
Liu Kai cupped his fists and said, "Master Hou, that fake person must be very familiar with Chen Ermao. Maybe we can know his true identity from Chen Ermao's mouth."
Liu Xiangnan nodded, "Go ahead and do it."
"Master Hou, what should we do about Chen Ermao?"
Liu Xiangnan snorted coldly, "Chen Ermao is so bold that he secretly came here while he was observing mourning at home. According to the laws of our country, Dacang, this is an additional crime."
Liu Kai bowed and said, "Master Marquis, do you want to send him back quietly?"
But Liu Xiangnan shook his head, "You have to send someone to watch him when he is sent back, and running out will be troublesome. It's better to just throw him into the dungeon and wait until this matter is over."
Liu Kai immediately bowed and agreed, turned around and came to the backyard.
Chen Ermao in the backyard is sleeping soundly. He has eaten and drank in the past few days, and he is still enjoying himself.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up.
When he saw it was Liu Kai, the boy was happy, thinking that he was here to give him a reward.
"Butler, you are here, please take a seat quickly."
Liu Kai waved his hand, "I won't sit down anymore, Er Mao, you must have been in our Marquis's house for some time."
Chen Ermao didn't understand what he meant, so he could only follow his words and say, "Yes, yes, I've been here for a few days."
Liu Kai nodded and made a gesture, and someone next to him brought Hou Liu's portrait.
"Er Mao, do you know this person?"
Chen Ermao only glanced at it and shouted. "I recognize it, I recognize it. His name is Hou Liu, the chief steward. He is a bad guy."
"Oh? Then tell me, what kind of bad method did he use?" Liu Kai deliberately used a trick.
Chen Ermao didn't hide anything, he told how he was deceived by Hou Liu and then by Xiong Fei.
Liu Kaixin sighed secretly, this Chen Ermao really didn't forget to eat and not to fight. He was made like this, and he didn't forget to come and collect the reward.
He coughed and said, "My Lord Marquis has time today and wants to meet you in person."
Chen Ermao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Really?"
"Then there's still time left, come with me."
Liu Kai glanced at the two people guarding the door, then turned and left.
Chen Ermao didn't know what was happening and followed closely behind him.
Chen Ermao had never seen the world and didn't realize that Liu Kai was leading him around the rockery in the back garden towards a more remote place.
