Qin Yi was not sure whether his guess was correct, but he knew that with such intensity of rain, it was necessary to be vigilant to avoid flooding.
If such a natural disaster occurs, it will cause casualties and displacement of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
Therefore, Qin Yi did not dare to delay, immediately put on his raincoat and bamboo hat, braved the pouring rain, and walked towards the outside of the Taijiang Courtyard.
The rain was so heavy that Qin Yi walked step by step towards Huashangfang without riding a horse, stepping on the rain that reached his calves.
It took a long time for Qin Yicai to arrive at Dingjunhou Mansion.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the vermilion door was opened a crack, and the boy holding an umbrella popped up and looked at Qin Yi in surprise, "Who is your Excellency?"
He didn't expect that with such a heavy rain, someone would come in spite of the rain.
"My Qin Yi, I have something to look for the Marquis. Please let me know." Qin Yi said loudly.
The boy initially looked displeased and was about to refuse, but when he heard Qin Yi's name, he was stunned.
The first-class student of Taijiangyuan defeated Hengyu and became the new strongest warrior of the younger generation in Linzhan. Qin Yi's name has become famous far and wide, from the dignitaries in the court to the servants in the hall.
People don’t know.
If it were a student from Taijiangyuan, it might not work, but Qin Yi is an exception.
So after being stunned for a moment, the young man quickly responded, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll report it right away."
Then, without closing the door, the boy held an umbrella and ran towards the front yard.
After only waiting for a moment, Qin Yi found the housekeeper Mr. Liu, whom he had met before, walking quickly with a few servants.
From this, he was surprised.
Logically speaking, if you go to report it, it won't be possible so quickly.
Instructing the boy to open the door, Mr. Liu, who was holding an umbrella, said with a smile, "Master Qin, you are here."
Qin Yi bowed his hands in a salute, and raindrops hit his raised arm, splashing everywhere on the raincoat, "I've met Mr. Liu."
"Please come with me," Liu Laoci said with a gentle smile.
Qin Yi immediately followed Mr. Liu and walked quickly through the front yard where the water was not deep.
He asked aloud, "I have something to look for the Marquis. I wonder if the Marquis is in the house?"
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Master is here."
Then, he turned to look at Qin Yi with a profound meaning in his eyes, "My master once ordered that no matter if he is here or not, when you come, you must be invited into the house."
Qin Yi immediately understood, no wonder the young man reported so quickly, and there was no need to ask Marquis Dingjun.
This shows that Marquis Dingjun treated him quite favorably.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the lobby, where they saw the red-robed and white-bearded Marquis Dingjun sitting in the main seat.
Seeing Qin Yi arriving, Marquis Dingjun stood up and came forward with a smile, "Qin Yi, the rain is so heavy, why don't you let anyone know so I can send a carriage to pick you up."
"Students have seen Lord Marquis," Qin Yi said with a smile, "Wearing a raincoat and walking quickly in the rain, it has a unique flavor."
When Marquis Dingjun heard this, he laughed and said to Mr. Liu, "Immediately serve someone a cup of ginger tea to help Qin Yi get rid of the cold."
When Mr. Liu heard this, he immediately resigned and left.
Then, two young men came forward, helped Qin Yi take off his raincoat and bamboo hat, and took them to the side hall to dry.
"Sit down." Marquis Dingjun said with a smile.
After the two sat down, Qin Yi looked around and found no one around, so he said solemnly, "Master Marquis, the student is here to tell you something important."
Seeing Qin Yi's expression, Marquis Dingjun couldn't help but frown, "You can just say it."
Qin Yi said in a deep voice, "Two hundred years ago, the rain continued continuously for ten days, and the Lijiang River overflowed, turning the lower reaches into wilderness; a hundred years ago, the spring floods did not stop, the Lijiang River burst its banks, floods spread throughout the four prefectures, and there were countless victims.
..."
These two passages are both recorded in history books.
Of course, the record is not just about this, it also includes the consequences.
The two major breaches of the Lijiang River almost harmed the country. The one two hundred years ago led to widespread plague, starvation and death, and hundreds of thousands of people died.
But that time a hundred years ago caused millions of refugees to spread all over the country, turning into bandits and wreaking havoc on the country.
Linzhan, which was deeply affected by the disaster, spent the whole country's efforts to suppress the banditry, so that the national strength was greatly reduced.
Seeing this opportunity, Dali took advantage of the opportunity to invade. The army was invincible and rushed straight to Zhanjing.
At a time of crisis, Wei Zheng, an extraordinary figure, led many soldiers who dared to die with his extraordinary courage and strategy, and staged an epic battle to defend the capital, establishing his reputation for eternity in one fell swoop.
These two breaches brought such disastrous disasters, so Qin Yi just mentioned it, and Ding Junhou's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan", and his face was filled with worry.
At this time, he already understood what Qin Yi was going to say.
"Are you trying to say that such heavy rain will most likely cause the Lijiang River to burst?" Marquis Dingjun asked in a deep voice.
Qin Yi nodded, "Yes, if such a situation occurs, it will most likely be used by someone with evil intentions."
He even felt that this spring flood was what Chixinmen was waiting for.
This is their back-up plan!
The barbarian rebellion is just to attract Linzhan's attention and ignore the water news of Lijiang River.
Maybe the heavy rain has been raining for more than ten days and has become a flood, but it has been hindered and the news cannot reach Zhanjing, or... someone is hiding it and not reporting it!
Even if the water level of Lijiang River rises, it has not burst, but if someone digs out the dam...
Thinking of this, Qin Yi shuddered slightly and did not dare to guess anymore.
We can only hope that the situation is still good and can be improved or saved.
At this time, Marquis Dingjun's face was full of solemnity and as sinking as water. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "You go back first, I will go to the palace to see the saint and report this matter!"
After that, he shouted to the door, "Come here, prepare a car for Qin Yi and take him back to the Taijiang Courtyard."
After seeing off Qin Yi, Marquis Dingjun changed into his official robe, hurriedly got into the carriage, and ordered the driver to gallop towards the palace.
The rain was pouring down, and the vision was affected. We shouldn't be galloping, but Marquis Dingjun ordered us to do so. How dare the coachman disobey. He could only ride the horse quickly and shout loudly, hoping not to hit any unlucky guy.<
/p>
At this moment, he suddenly heard the same urgent shout coming from the street corner ahead, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Looking at the direction, it should be heading to the palace. Is there anyone else like the master at this time who needs to go out in heavy rain because of urgent matters?
Paying attention to avoidance, the two carriages did not collide, but drove side by side towards the palace. Like arrows, they broke through the heavy rain curtain at a very fast speed.
After opening the curtain, Marquis Dingjun looked out and happened to see the carriage next to him. The curtain was also opened, revealing a tough and solemn face and a pair of eyes as deep as abyss.
Prime Minister?
Marquis Dingjun was immediately surprised. It was raining so heavily. Why did Prime Minister Wu go to the palace in the rain?
