I'm in Great Zhou, Forced into the Palace by the Female Emperor

Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...

Chapter 99 Something terrible is happening!

Qin Yuan and the other two walked slowly along the official road.

Walking on both sides of the street were the disaster victims, all laughing and talking happily.

Women were washing clothes by the stream, chatting and laughing, and children were running and playing on the grass.

They are neatly dressed, full of energy, with full foreheads and bright eyes.

But within a month, there was no trace of the disaster on their bodies.

It was as if they were not disaster victims, but people who had lived outside Jingzhou City for generations, living and working in peace and contentment.

Li Dejian was very surprised!

Seeing is believing.

No matter how much I hear people talk about it in the market, it is not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes.

"Is this work-for-relief?"

Li Dejian was momentarily distracted and muttered to himself.

"How about it, not bad, right?" Qin Yuan put his arms on the window, very proud.

"What are you so proud of?"

Li Yinhuan pouted: "Aren't these all the achievements of Chen Zhifu and Wei Sima? What does it have to do with you?"

Qin Yuan glanced at her and asked, "When it comes to leading troops into battle, who is more important, the commander who plans and strategizes, or the general who leads the charge?"

Li Yinhuan said without hesitation: "Of course both are important, and neither can be missing."

Qin Yuan rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "Then let's not get married."

Li Yinhuan asked in a delicate voice, "You mean to say that you are the commander-in-chief who is planning the strategy?"

"What else?" Qin Yuan spread his hands.

"You must be joking!" Li Yinhuan said with wide eyes, "In terms of seniority, Prefect Chen is the senior brother, and you are the junior brother."

"In terms of official rank, he is the prefect and you are the assistant magistrate."

"They are all older than you, why should they listen to your orders?"

Qin Yuan shook his head and sneered, "You don't understand, do you?"

"There are different levels of understanding, and different specializations in different skills. That's all."

"you……"

Li Yinhuan suddenly became quiet and stopped arguing with Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan saw her eyebrows fluttering and her eyes solemn, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"There are traces of marching troops nearby." Li Yinhuan dismounted and began to investigate carefully.

"Could it be the imperial guards in Jingzhou City, or the palace soldiers?" Qin Yuan asked.

"No, it's a normal march. There's no need to clean up the traces. This army is obviously marching in secret."

Li Yinhuan affirmed.

"Sister, you're probably just being overly sensitive. How come I didn't show any signs of leaving any marks?"

Li Dejian also jumped out of the car and carefully investigated for a long time.

Li Yinhuan immediately scolded him in a delicate voice, "You were told to follow veterans like Moss and Wu Dadao and learn from them, but you weren't happy about it."

"Can't you even see this now?"

Li Dejian shrank his neck, feeling guilty, but there was still a look of dissatisfaction between his brows.

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Where did this army go?"

Li Yinhuan raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"How many people are there in this army?" Qin Yuan asked.

Li Yinhuan replied, "At least six hundred, but less than a thousand. They are all wearing heavy armor, so they are most likely not the local soldiers stationed in Jingzhou."

"How long have they been there?" Qin Yuan asked.

"Hmm... I can't tell. I estimate it's been at least an hour!" Li Yinhuan was a little uncertain.

"Not good!" Qin Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Li Dejian asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Qin Yuan explained with a wry smile, "Normal military deployments don't require concealing one's whereabouts."

"Since he's hiding his tracks and his whereabouts are suspicious, he's probably up to something bad."

"That direction is far from Jingzhou, and there are also heavy troops gathered there. There is only one target worthy of such a large investment—"

Li Yinhuan and Li Dejian exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Prefect Chen and Sima Wei?"

Li Yinhuan said urgently: "What are you waiting for? Go find someone to rescue them!"

"If something happens to the two adults, what will happen to these 1.5 million disaster victims?"

After saying this, he immediately jumped on his horse and went back to his father's camp to ask for help.

"Wait!" Qin Yuan said, "Time is running out. It's taking too much time to go back and forth like this. Let's go to the nearest construction site."

As he spoke, Qin Yuan removed the carriage frame from the horse, jumped on it, and galloped out.

Li Yinhuan rode his horse to catch up, leaving only Li Dejian and the carriage frame disheveled in the wind.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Li Dejian was so anxious that he could only run away.

"You want to mobilize the young and strong among the disaster victims to rescue them?"

Li Yinhuan looked at Qin Yuan in front of her and asked.

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right. The Great Zhou has implemented a military system. Most of the young and strong men have received training and are ready to be used to strengthen our army."

Then he turned his head and asked, "Can you take it?"

"Yes!" Li Yinhuan blurted out.

"only……"

"Are you sure they would do such a deadly thing?"

"Yes." Qin Yuan was sure.

River construction site.

Li Erhu works hard as always to earn money to support his family.

Suddenly, a roar was heard.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

"Someone is trying to kill Prefect Chen!!!"

Li Erhu paused at first, wondering what was going on, and then his expression changed drastically.

He picked up a hoe and rushed towards Qin Yuan.

Soon, everyone on the construction site gathered around.

The crowd was excited.

Qin Yuan said without further ado, "Let's go to Yingchou Valley."

Crash——

Everyone turned around and started running.

"Hey...wait...wait for me!"

Li Dejian had just arrived when he was left behind again.

Li Yinhuan and Qin Yuan rode in the front, leading the way.
