Chapter 987 The girl is missing
Those fallen trees were quickly covered by a dense layer of termites. After a rustling sound, the trees and grass on the ground were eaten away.
The lush forests and fields just a moment ago turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.
The farmers were so frightened by this horrific scene that they screamed and ran down the mountain like crazy, "Termites! So many termites!"
"And snakes and rats!"
"Damn it! Run!"
…
Just a splashing sound was heard. The sills of the terraces were damaged by termites, and the water inside rushed down the mountain.
There was another "rumbling" sound, and the rocks loosened and rolled down.
Houses in distant mountain villages also collapsed one after another, turning into ruins in an instant.
This scene was like the end of the world, so horrifying that it made people suffocate.
Shangguan Ruoli's eyes were red with anger. He felt like a child who had just struggled to build a beautiful castle with building blocks, only to be slapped away.
He said angrily with a trembling voice: "Concubine Sun, that bitch! It must be her!"
Dongming Ziyu was still calm, "Go home quickly!"
The situation here is already like this, and there is nothing they can do for the time being. As long as the people run fast, too many people will not be killed or injured.
"Then let's go!" Shangguan Ruoli was thinking about the children, picked up Qinggong, and pulled Dongming Ziyu down the mountain like flying.
Dongming Ziyu ran with Shangguan Ruoli, "Don't be so nervous, the children will be fine."
Shangguan Ruoli speeded up, "No, I won't feel at ease if I don't see the children."
Along the way, all the trees, flowers, plants, and crops were eaten away by termites, field mice, mole crickets, etc., and the houses made of wood were reduced to sawdust.
The scene is tragic and heartbreaking.
Most of the houses in Xuanwangzhuang are made of blue bricks or stones, but only the frames, beams and other wooden items are left, all of which have been eaten away by termites and turned into ruins.
"Bastard!" Shangguan Ruoli gritted his teeth and continued running towards Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Prince Xuan's Mansion was much better than expected. The outer courtyard was basically unharmed, and the backyard was even more intact.
However, many people in Xuanwangzhuang were crowded in the courtyard, looking frightened and uneasy, and the children were so frightened that they cried loudly.
Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli saw Ling Yao in Xiao Fei's arms at a glance, as well as Jing Xi and Jing Yang in Rejoice and Zhang Shanxing's arms, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Yao was holding Xiao Cai's cage in her hand. Although she didn't cry, her big eyes were full of fear. When she saw Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli coming back, she burst into tears immediately, which made Xiao Cai tremble with fear.
"Mother and concubine! Father! Yao'er is so scared!"
The colorful parrot also repeated: "Yao'er is so scared! Yao'er is so scared!"
Shangguan Ruoli rushed over, took Ling Yao over, and coaxed: "It's okay, my mother is here!"
Yao'er threw Xiao Cai away and hugged Shangguan Ruoli's neck tightly with her little arms, "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, don't keep Yao'er anymore, Yao'er is scared!"
Dongming Ziyu reached out to catch Xiaocai and handed it to Mo Wen beside him.
Shangguan Ruoli knew that Ling Yao had not forgotten that she and Dongming Ziyu were missing at sea, so he patted her small back and comforted her softly.
When everyone saw that the masters were back, they seemed to have found a backbone and calmed down.
Sassoon was also frightened and cried, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes, and his voice was trembling, "Princess, what, what is going on?"
Shangguan Ruoli said coldly: "That Prince Qin's concubine from the Sun family knows the art of controlling beasts, she must have done it."
In fact, everyone thought it was a manifestation of gods and ghosts, but now they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was a man-made disaster.
Butler Zuo knelt down to plead guilty and said: "Masters, please punish me. I made the decision without permission and let people go into the backyard to avoid it."
Seeing this, Sassoon also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, I don't blame Butler Zuo for this matter. I brought it up first when I saw that there was nothing going on in our yard."
Housekeeper Zuo was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Sassoon would acquit him. He was the housekeeper of this house and a man. How could he let a brat like Sassoon bear the blame?
He said hurriedly: "No, this is my responsibility."
Dongming Ziyu waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, get up."
Shangguan Ruoli also said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to find ways to resettle the people in the mansion. The people also need to be comforted."
Sassoon said with red eyes: "The house has collapsed, and the food and wood have been eaten by those ants and mice. What should we do?"
Butler Zuo also said: "Yes, I don't know how these things can go away."
If termites and mice are always causing trouble, even renovating the house will be in vain.
Mo Wen asked: "Her ability to control beasts also requires skill. She played so hard this time, I'm afraid she will have to rest for a few days."
He secretly said: "Concubine Sun was seriously injured by me. It is impossible for her to recover so quickly. Help must have come."
Dongming Ziyu lowered his eyes and said: "Send someone to Yuancheng to have a look. If Yuancheng is fine, everyone will move to Yuancheng."
He originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to move to Yuancheng. Although the time was not right now, he had no choice but to cause more trouble.
"Yes!" An Er took the order and left.
Dongming Ziyu added: "The government soldiers will go out to investigate and see how large the affected area is, so as to comfort the victims and organize them to help themselves."
Shangguan Ruoli frowned and said, "If such a horrible and weird thing happened, there must be bad rumors among the people to slander us."
Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "My king is protected by gods and Buddhas. This intact Prince Xuan's Mansion is a living example. It was Concubine Sun who knew how to control beasts and avenged the Sun family's rebels, so she did this evil thing.
."
Those Lianshan private soldiers who returned home to farm had experienced the sorcery of zombies, and were also very receptive to the sorcery of controlling beasts. Besides, they hated the Sun family and were grateful to King Xuan, so the balance in their hearts was more likely to tip to King Xuan's side.
When King Xuan said this, the people in Prince Xuan's palace suddenly became confident and their backs straightened involuntarily.
Dongming Ziyu told the left steward: "I will leave the affairs of the palace to you. I will go to discuss matters with the officials below."
The concubine Sun had to be arrested, and the people had to be appeased and resettled.
He turned to Shangguan Ruoli and said, "I, the king, will go for a while. You just have to protect the children."
Shangguan Ruoli was still a little confused, "Everything is fine in Prince Xuan's palace. Is there a formation?"
Dongming Ziyu reached out and fiddled with the green dragon teeth on the red string on Jing Xi's ankle, and chuckled: "It was Jing Yu who protected Prince Xuan's Mansion."
Ling Yao said in a childish voice: "And my snowball! It caught a lot of mice and snakes and scared them away!"
Shangguan Ruoli understood and said to Dongming Ziyu: "You can go with ease and don't worry about the house."
Dongming Ziyu squeezed Jingyang's little feet again, saw him giggling, and smiled before turning and leaving.
Everyone bowed and sent them off, and then Shangguan Ruoli asked Guan Zuo, "Is there anyone injured in the house?"
Butler Zuo said: "A few were injured by smashing, and a few were bitten by rats and venomous snakes. Fortunately, each of our guards carried a first-aid kit with them, and they were treated in time, so there were no deaths. However, the girl is missing."
