Chapter 436 Abandoned
"Let's go and take a look." Yu Tingfeng was not very reassured about those refugees.
Even with An Jinge and Siyan around, I always feel like they'll worry if they leave my side.
As soon as I left the inn, I heard dull thunder coming from a distance.
It did rain, so everyone thought it was normal.
But everyone was wrong, it was not thunder.
"Oh no! The dam collapsed!" Someone brought the news from the front.
In a short time, the news spread throughout the entire street.
The thing that Chang Huan and Feng Aoqing were most worried about happened.
This dike is just outside the city, and the water has not yet completely receded. Once it collapses, the unaffected main urban area will become a swamp, and the losses will be incalculable.
Yu Tingfeng changed the direction of his steps.
"Master, you can't go! It's too dangerous!" Yu Yichen stopped him.
Before Yu Tingfeng could say anything, he heard people talking on the street.
"Master Chang is patrolling the dike!"
"Ah! What shall I do?"
"Don't worry, the dike won't collapse. Lord Chang and his men have already repaired it!"
Yu Tingfeng frowned, but finally walked in that direction.
Chang Huan was on the dike, and a part of it collapsed. Because they had an emergency plan, they had prepared people and materials to fill the gap in advance.
The patrolmen were given Feng Aoqing flashlights and learned to use the light to signal with flags, so that the people who stayed behind could more quickly know which area had a problem.
The house does not collapse when the water level rises, but collapses when the water level recedes. This is the situation that occurs during many floods.
When Yu Tingfeng went there, he saw that they had already started repairing the dike, and the people also came to help.
"Help! What are you looking at!" he shouted, and then he stood in the crowd and started to take the sandbags handed to him.
"Master! We are here to help you! Please go back to the inn!" There was no way the two of them would let him stay here.
But Yu Tingfeng seemed determined.
Feng Aoqing also heard the news of the dam collapse. She rushed back after seeing the doctor, but when she arrived at the inn, she found out that Yu Tingfeng and his group were no longer there.
"Could he have gone to the embankment?" Siyan looked anxious.
"What a joke! What can he do?" Feng Aoqing's heart tightened, "Just falling into the river is like changing the dynasty!"
"You think you are the emperor and are blessed by gods, right?" An Jinge was speechless.
Feng Aoqing threw down the medicine box, picked up her skirt and ran into the rain.
"Master! Wait for me!" Siyan also hurriedly followed him out.
An Jinge used Qinggong to catch up and grabbed Feng Aoqing: "You can save people, but if you want to take risks, I will definitely not let you!"
"It's not dangerous, I'll go and take a look. What if someone gets hurt?" Feng Aoqing patted her hand to comfort her.
"Ask yourself why you want to go?! This is Yuanwu! You are from Zhaojing! If you want to be for him, don't you have to wait until you become his?" An Jinge refused to let go.
"Jin Ge, don't be anxious..."
"Remember the last time you followed that man regardless of everything? What was the consequence? You did so much for him, but what did you get? Have you ever thought about what you can get in return after giving so much this time?"
Feng Aoqing stood there in a daze, looking at An Jinge intently.
"So, you think I should go back to Zhaojing and become Princess Yonglin again, right? You've felt this way from the beginning. You stayed by my side waiting for that day, right?"
An Jinge was anxious just now, and she knew she had said something too harsh as soon as she spoke, so she changed her tone and said, "Qing, that's not what I meant..."
"I can give for Zhao Jing, I can give for the Mo family, but for others, I'm giving myself away, right?"
"Then let me tell you, I've done enough for Zhao Jing. I helped the Mo family conquer the world, opened up a passage to the north for them, found the best iron ore and ironmaking methods in all of Kyushu for them, and earned countless gold and silver for them, filling up the national treasury..."
An Jinge said anxiously: "You misunderstood me..."
"I don't know about you, but I think that's enough."
Feng Aoqing took out her Fenghuajun's court robes and seal from the space and handed them to An Jinge.
"Originally, I was thinking of giving it to you in Wudu, but I'll give it to you now! Tell Mo Nanzhou that there is no Feng Huajun in Zhaojing anymore. Although I paid a lot, I also borrowed Zhaojing's power for a long time. They also defended me a lot when I was being hunted. So we're even."
An Jinge was extremely frightened. She held her clothes in one hand and grabbed Feng Aoqing with the other.
"How can this be possible?! How can you give up this identity? Well, even if you don't want this identity, don't you care about his legitimate son? Do you know that when you were in trouble, he cried so hard that he almost went blind!"
Feng Aoqing pushed her hand away and promised, "If he needs me, I will take care of him and go, but at that time, I will only be the medical officer Feng Aoqing, not Feng Huajun anymore."
An Jinge pushed the things back to Feng Aoqing: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stopped you. Now, put these things away. I'll accompany you to the embankment..."
"It's none of your business. I've thought about it a long time ago. Thank you for accompanying me all the way. Go! Go now. If the dam really collapses, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
Feng Aoqing smiled at her, turned and walked into the rain and fog.
Only then did An Jinge realize that she had already decided not to accept Emperor Yuanwu's marriage proposal.
The way to resolve this matter is that he is no longer Fenghua Jun, and he has no connection with Zhao Jing anymore. Emperor Yuanwu will probably no longer have the idea of marriage.
After all, royal marriages are only for the power behind both parties.
However, she did not expect that Yu Tingfeng was Emperor Yuanwu.
Therefore, she would definitely abandon Feng Huajun and see what he would do.
An Jinge stood in the rain, watching Feng Aoqing disappear from her sight. Then, she put the bag containing clothes and seals on her back and walked in the opposite direction.
She thought that this time, Zhao Jing, Mo Nanzhou, Mo Beiyuan, and even her, had completely lost Feng Aoqing.
Their constant demands and their so-called protection pushed Feng Aoqing further and further away.
Feng Aoqing gave up this identity and felt relieved.
"Master, no matter whether you are Feng Huajun or not, you are my master. Don't even think about pushing me away!" Siyan was a little scared, afraid that Feng Aoqing would also let her leave. If that happened, no one would be able to take care of her.
"I know, you are from Lanfeng Pavilion in Hantian Valley, not Fenghua Jun's." Feng Aoqing answered with a smile.
Siyan felt relieved.
When the two men arrived at the river bank, they were already soaked.
The rain was so heavy that it blinded us and we couldn't see people a few meters away. The oil lamps everyone brought were extinguished, and the small flashlights used for patrolling were useless.
Someone went to prepare torches, but there were too few.
Feng Aoqing led Siyan to climb up the high slope of the embankment.
She took out the energy-saving lamps with the largest wattage, placed them one by one on the high slope, found the right position, facing the embankment, and then turned on the lights.
The riverbank was suddenly illuminated as bright as day.
"It's Miss Feng!"
“It’s her!”
Yu Tingfeng heard the people around him talking about Feng Aoqing, so he also looked towards the light. He saw two small black shadows running towards him.
