The roar of the floodwaters was deafening.
"Dad, why is this happening?" Huo looked straight at the scene above, holding her husband's arm tightly with her hand, the horror in her eyes still not gone.
Huo Ziheng's face was haggard, and his eyes were full of exhaustion. "If I expected it right, someone broke the gate of the Border City Reservoir. I was negligent in this matter."
Huo Ziheng's eyes flashed with silent guilt.
He had never left the place of exile when he escaped. Although he had some control over the situation in the outside world, he was ignorant of geography.
There had been flooding in the past few days, and he was busy commanding and dispatching the flood control in the place of exile, but he still neglected it after all.
"Master, I don't blame you for this. The Yamen received the oracle and ordered the officers and soldiers to focus on guarding the reservoir. But I didn't expect that someone took advantage of the loophole." Su An gritted his teeth, a cold look flashed in his eyes, "The bad guys are doing harm to others. There are thousands of poisonous schemes, and no matter how tightly we defend, there will eventually come a time when the enemy will be loose."
"Xiao An is right, what is hateful is that people who use tricks, in order to achieve something, actually waste the lives of millions of innocent people!" Old man Su said bitterly, hugging his little grandson who was so frightened that he kept crying.
Old Mrs. Su also hugged the little baby in her arms tightly, "Those people will suffer retribution sooner or later!"
The old couple's eyes were red, and neither of them looked in the direction of their little granddaughter, and they didn't dare to look.
I'm afraid that just one look will make me cry.
Even if they don't look, they know what their little granddaughter looks like now, and they can't even speak to stop it.
Everyone here, old and young, is alive, and they are all people Tianbao cares about.
Once the protective umbrella disappears, not only them, but also Tianbao will be swept into the raging torrent.
Everyone's attention was either on the front or on Tianbao. No one noticed that after the raging flood rushed through the Tubei hillside, the flow suddenly weakened, as if there was an invisible gate in the middle, blocking the flood.
None of the thatched houses in the villages behind were washed away, and the floodwaters that passed through them only reached the thresholds of each house. This flow would not have a great impact on the rivers, rice fields and people outside the village.
Tianbao tried his best to suck most of the flood into the space. At this moment, the space was bounded by streams, and the area between the medicine field and the distant mountains became a vast ocean.
Until the last wave of flood passes.
"Puff——!" Blood spurted out from Tianbao's mouth. The invisible barrier that had been holding up the sky shattered, and the man fell down from exhaustion.
The overdraft was so severe that all the strength in the body seemed to be drained, the pressure made the heart contract, and the head hurt as if there were needles.
"Tianbao!" Bai Yu immediately went over to support her, trembling with distress.
Everyone was frightened by his shout, and quickly turned around, trying to rush to Tianbao, but something unexpected happened again.
Just where everyone was standing, several black shadows suddenly jumped out from the ground!
"Be careful of sneak attacks!" Su An and others reacted very quickly and immediately took action to stop the black shadow.
Su Wen, Su Wu, Wheat Sui, Huo and Old Man Du also took action. The company commander and princess quickly joined in to help. Wang Bai and Shi Ying left no one alive.
Even so, they couldn't intercept all the people.
The other party calculated the right moment, used the sound of the flood to cover up the movement, and sneaked in quietly.
He was caught off guard.
The place where he appeared was exactly at the feet of everyone.
Old man Su and old woman Su fell into each other's hands in a blink of an eye. At this critical moment, the old couple had no time to think about it, so they first threw the years and years in their arms to the villagers!
Bai Yu and Tian Bao were located further down the hillside. Everything happened in a flash of lightning. It was too late to save people. They could only watch as their grandma fell into the enemy's hands and was carried away far away!
"Grandma, grandma!" A sharp shout came from the hillside, and the scene fell into extreme chaos.
Tianbao's eyes suddenly glowed red, and he forced himself to raise his spirits and chased after him.
Bai Yu followed closely behind.
By the time Su An and others killed all the assassins, Tianbao and Grandpa were nowhere to be found.
"To the east, toward the open sea, hurry up and chase!" Huo Ziheng's face turned pale and he tried to keep calm. "They used the flood as a cover and spent so much money to sneak in. Their target must be Tianbao!"
As he spoke, he took out a signal bomb from his arms and sent it high into the air, "Don't worry here. The three forces will rush over immediately when they see the signal bomb. We and the village are safe. Let's go help Tianbao save people!"
"Old Huo, I'll leave this to you!" Old Man Du was as fast as a shadow and took the lead in running toward the outer sea.
Then there were several more figures biting.
At the same time, the border town was also in chaos.
The reservoir outside the city that was strictly guarded by the officers and soldiers had its gate opened, but they had no idea before that. When the water accumulated in the reservoir poured out, they found two holes near the gates on both sides!
"It's over, it's over!" Mr. Xiang Qian was in the Yamen. After receiving the news, he staggered and collapsed on the ground, his eyes wandering. "The water level of the Anjiang Reservoir has risen to full. Once the gate is broken, it will be like a second flood... The southeast gate is still open. What flows there is the place of exile, Tubeishan!"
"Sir, when my subordinates rushed back to report just now, they saw a flare going off in the direction of Tubei Mountain. Something must have happened there!" The officer who came back to report also had a pale face.
The place of exile is not what it used to be. Who knows about the border town? There is Princess Mingyue, whom the emperor values most, and the entire place of exile is the princess's fiefdom!
The border town is close to the penal colony, and the water from the reservoir is still flowing straight there. The princess has some shortcomings in it, and they all have to be held accountable!
"What are you talking about? Something happened in the place of exile?!" A man's cold and stern voice suddenly sounded at the door, and then a figure in black clothes appeared in the lobby of the Yamen. His body was dusty and cold, and his eyes were cold and cold.
"You, you are?"
"Wei Ziyi, the commander of the Emperor's Royal Guards, has been ordered to come to help with disaster relief! Sir, let's get down to business first!"
Xiang Qian hurriedly got up from the ground, and he and the Yachai complemented each other and gave an overview of the matter.
Before they could finish their words, Ziyi's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and rushed out, "The secret guard battalion listens to the order and follow me to Tubei Village immediately!"
Xiang Qian staggered to the yamen gate with the support of the yamen servant. He only saw a roll of black smoke rolling towards the inner city gate. His legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground again.
It’s over…
This time it's really over...
The official career is over...
"Quick, pass on my order. All the officials in the Yamen should go to the inner city gate immediately. After Commander Wei passes through the city gate and enters the place of exile, immediately close the city gate and guard it tightly! No more people are allowed in, and no one is allowed to go in. Let anyone out!"
After saying that, he added, "Except the princess and the emperor's people! Go, go quickly! The spies who want to harm the princess must be locked in that urn, and let the princess take care of them!!"
damn thing!
He asked Qian Guan not to do it!
But he must kill the person who caused him to lose his official position!
Otherwise, it will be difficult to calm down the resentment!
Dare to bully their princess? !
