When Su Zhen forcibly used the power of Yuan Zhu, it entered a state of exhaustion again.
He looked back at Chu Moxuan deeply, threw his robe to the ground, and jumped into the crack without any emotion.
Chu Moxuan did not stop her, but raised his hand to touch his lips. He moved his hand down and brushed the wound on his neck that was bitten by Su Zhen. Purple mist appeared and the wound recovered as before.
He raised the silver-white hairband in his left hand and said with a wicked smile, "Xiao Chuhong... Su Zhen... Jiang Wen... Liao Chen...
"
...
However, in just one night, Su Zhen seemed to have experienced a cycle of life and death, and her understanding of the people around her also underwent a huge change.
When she stepped out of Chu Moxuan's alien space and returned to Xiao Chuhong's room again, his breath was still everywhere.
Walking to the hollow carved wooden window, I reached out and touched the wheelchair that Xiao Chuhong had been sitting on for many years, and my tears finally burst out.
In this world, she believed that no one understood Chu Moxuan's nature better than her.
Once he is given a chance to fight back, he will spare no effort to eliminate all threats that are detrimental to him.
Xiao Chuhong, whose life or death is unknown, is just the first...
"Master?!"
A deep voice came from behind, and Su Zhen turned around with a smile.
He was clearly in a state of embarrassment, yet he pretended to be calm.
"Shen Chen? How is your injury?"
Su Zhen's neck was in burning pain, and the red mark left by the strangulation was very conspicuous. Perhaps her vocal cords were damaged, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke.
Messy hair fell behind her shoulders, and her face was pale and haggard, with blurry eyes and traces of tears. Her clothes were severely torn in several places, with only a few strands of cloth remaining, and her belt was missing.
Su Zhen had been beaten seriously before, but she had never been seen in such a miserable state.
"I'm fine, but you don't look well? Is it because of that bad Taoist priest? It's all because I'm too stupid, so he found out."
"Silly girl, how could it be such a coincidence that I went straight to you when I entered the house. Maybe I accidentally offended someone again. Let's go home. We are the ones who caused the trouble. We can't leave all the mess behind.
My parents and eldest sister are too unkind."
Su Zhen looked around and talked to him. Every time she said a word, her throat was burning with pain. She pretended to be relaxed, but she couldn't hide the tears in her eyes.
She didn't want to escape either, but she was arrogant but not conceited. She knew she couldn't defeat Chu Moxuan... but she still fought to the death with him, but it was just a waste of her life.
But when he thinks of Xiao Chuhong, whose life or death is uncertain, the composure he pretends will instantly collapse.
Mo Shen's clear eyes were filled with worry, and he took Lu Jingshu's cloak and put it on her body.
As she got closer, her eyes fell on Su Zhen's bitten lip and the red mark on her neck. She pursed her lips and didn't ask any further questions.
Demonic power emerged from the palm of his hand, repairing Su Zhen's injuries.
Su Zhen's hand stroked the pattern of the wheelchair, "Shen Chen, Chu Moxuan is awake."
"What? Chu Moxuan? That demon emperor? Wasn't he sealed?"
"I don't know why, but when I woke up, he had already changed his identity with Xiao Xiao."
"Ah? Is General Xiao still alive?"
"have no idea."
Su Zhen shook her head. She was exhausted physically and mentally from what happened one after another.
Seeing this, Mo Shen silently recited a spell and supported her arm. After a flash of light, the two of them left the general's mansion.
At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from the ground...
...
Afterwards, there were heavy rains for several days in a row. Almost all the fields in the people's homes were flooded, and many small villages were flooded. The people were miserable and complained endlessly.
What followed was a series of flash floods.
The imperial court allocates large sums of money to build dams every year, but when a serious flash flood hits, except for a few places that can survive it safely, most of them are facing a huge disaster.
The imperial court has been very busy over the past few days because of the flood.
The merciless floods were more powerful than ferocious beasts. Countless houses collapsed in many villages where they passed, and fertile fields were flooded. Trees and houses were washed away. Clothes, utensils, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep were floating everywhere on the water.
The corpses, including some people swimming desperately holding dead trees, could not withstand the force of the flood and were swept away by it.
More and more victims were rushing towards Kyoto. During this period, the overflow caused disaster and once again submerged dozens of villages, covering the whole country.
The victims were starved of food. People and animals either drowned one after another, were crushed to death by collapsed houses, or fought over food.
For a moment, people were panicked.
Fortunately, the prince, Gu Yunshu and others had anticipated this, and Luo Qi had become stronger and richer. When the flood broke out, they made full preparations early to minimize casualties.
But natural disasters are not man-made disasters. No matter how they try to avoid them, they cannot stop them from spreading.
The imperial court opened a large number of porridge sheds and warehouses to store grain in Kyoto and nearby towns, and ordered to reduce taxes. During this period, numerous emergency measures were taken to try their best to resettle the victims.
But compared with relieving the victims, what caused Shang Yujie and the ministers of the DPRK and China the most headache was the plague from Jiangdu.
The simultaneous outbreak of floods and plagues was tantamount to a heavy blow to the imperial court and Jiangdu.
Jiangdu has a vast territory, bordering rivers and seas. In the past, the mountains, rivers and water scenery would have been picturesque, with thousands of miles of rivers and seas stretching into your lap.
According to common sense, the imperial court allocates money to strengthen the dams every year, but the disaster suffered by Jiangdu this time was more serious than other towns.
...
Royal Palace.
East Palace.
Shangyu Chen returned to the East Palace after leaving the morning court. As the prince and the future prince of Luo Qi, he had been practicing the art of kingship and governing the country since he was a child, and he was able to handle government affairs for the emperor, so he was easy to master.
But in the study, the papers on his case had piled up like a mountain.
In order to resettle the victims, he did not sleep for two or three days.
He supported the table with his right elbow, rubbed his eyebrows, and let out a long sigh.
Across the screen, I looked up at the figures swaying back and forth on the other side, feeling empty in my heart.
"Gu Jiang."
Shang Yuchen's voice was a little hoarse from exhaustion.
Gu Yunshu, who had also buried himself in the folds, slowly raised his head and barely curled his lips, "I'm here."
"Okay, why are you and I always so formal? Just this morning, my father ordered you and me to go to Jiangdu to provide disaster relief. What do you think?"
"Except for Jiangdu, most villages in towns and cities that were destroyed by floods have been rehabilitated, and the refugees have been resettled. However, Jiangdu's dam should have been the strongest, but now it is the most severely damaged, and the civilian casualties are also the highest."
Gu Yunshu looked at the ministers outside the screen, and the hand hidden in the sleeves of his robe moved, and an invisible barrier was quietly set up.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Even if the people in this study are Shangyu Chen's confidants or aides, it doesn't mean that he can confide in them and trust them completely. This chapter has been completed!
