Chapter 336
However, the reply Lord Lin received disappointed him greatly.
The other party's letter was full of condescending attitude, and he kept implying that Lord Lin didn't know much about this place.
Although Lord Lin suggested that they evacuate the crowd as soon as possible to prevent any disaster, the other party felt that Lord Lin did not consider the current situation and was just talking nonsense.
Relocating so many villagers would require a lot of financial and human resources. This is nothing but unnecessary worry and will only make you a laughing stock.
Three days later, Lord Lin showed Ruan Mian this reply letter.
At that time, Ruan Mian also confirmed with the spirit beast that the water level would continue to rise and the sky was unstable.
What's more, there are indeed several disasters in the original book.
Maybe this is one of them.
This gave the Prince of Yan an opportunity to use evidence against him, who spread rumors and caused the emperor to lose the support of the people.
Later, it paved the way for them to attack Huanglong and enter Kyoto.
Whether from his own perspective, thinking about the people of Wuheng, or thinking about the innocent civilians of Yuzhou, Ruan Mian didn't want to watch his hard work go to waste.
I don’t want to see so many people in dire straits.
Especially when she already knew the danger, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
She looked at Lord Lin. It was not easy for him to trust herself and make preparations for the people in the city.
"Sir, I do have a plan that we can try in Yuzhou. I'll leave the people here to you and convince them to move away."
"Whether it's the people in the city or the villagers in the village near the Linfen River, they all..."
"Madam Ruan, I am the official in charge of Wu Heng. I should guide everyone to avoid danger in this matter. I also believe in your ability. I am sure there is a way to try."
"Don't worry, Wu Heng. I'll relocate those people to the higher reaches of Longchang Mountain. It won't take days for the river to flood the city. I'll do my best."
As for Ruan Mian, she will definitely do her best.
But it is not an easy task to convince so many people to move their homes. What's more, the prefect of Yuzhou has no idea of how to deal with it. If the government office does not cooperate, how many households can be relocated?
But Ruan Mian thought of a way, which was inspired by Princess Jiacheng.
Dajing was somewhat influenced by the previous emperor and attached great importance to metaphysics and ghosts and gods. The officials in the imperial astronomical bureau were respected by many people.
She didn't want to worry her family, so she left for a few days under the pretext of helping Lord Lin.
In fact, he came to Yuzhou alone, but unexpectedly, Yun Xiu also followed him.
At that time, Ruan Mian had already changed his clothes. He was holding a banner in his hand, wearing a Taoist robe, and his long beard covered the lower half of his face.
His face is dark and he looks like a middle-aged man. If you don't look closely, you can't tell that he is a woman.
However, even dressed like this, Yun Xiu still recognized him at a glance.
"Sister Mianmian."
Hearing Yun Xiu's familiar voice, Ruan Mian was surprised: "Why did you follow me? When did you come?"
She came here at night on a big white tiger. With its speed, wouldn't it be possible for her to ride at full speed without stopping to get here in such a short time?
Ruan Mian saw that he was covered in mud and guessed that he hadn't stopped for a moment all the way here. It must have been quite a feat for him to find her in disguise so quickly. She couldn't help but doubt herself: "Is it really that easy to tell that I'm a woman in this outfit?"
Yun Xiu smiled slightly and quickly shook his head: "No, Sister Mianmian's outfit makes it difficult for others to tell whether she is male or female, but I am different from others."
Even if she turned into ashes, I would still be able to recognize her.
For Ruan Mian, he felt relieved after hearing his words, as long as there was no problem with the disguise.
However, it is not the style of a Taoist priest to have such a high-spirited young man by his side.
He simply took out an extra set of Taoist robes and put them on him, and smeared some wall dust on his face.
Yun Xiu understood what he meant and deliberately hunched his back, which made him look more like the little disciple of the Taoist priest.
Ruan Mian nodded with satisfaction and asked one more question: "Why did you come here?"
Yun Xiu simply said, "I'm worried about you coming here alone, Sister Mianmian. I know you're capable, but I've also learned a lot from you, Master. Now that you're not here, I'll take care of you."
"At least I'm by your side, watching over you, so I can feel at ease. With me by your side, your spirit in heaven can rest assured."
These words came from the heart and were spoken with such sincerity that Ruan Mian had no room for rebuttal.
Since they are already here, they might as well follow me. There is no reason to go back.
However, Ruan Mian wanted to ask the space spirit beast to help this time, so in order to prevent Yun Xiu from questioning him, he told him in advance.
"I'll do some magic tricks later. You just need to stay quietly beside me. No matter what happens, it's just a trick."
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiu said something shocking: "Sister Mianmian, do you want to tame beasts?"
Ruan Mian stood there in a daze, and before he could react, he spoke with a normal expression.
"I've known for a long time that Sister Mianmian has the ability to tame beasts. I've seen it before and heard my family talk about it, so I'm not surprised. I just think you're amazing."
"Since ancient times, I have only heard of the ability to tame beasts in operas and books, but I have never seen it before, until I saw you able to use the white tiger as a mount."
But when he said these words, his expression was calm, and he must have already digested it himself.
After hearing what he said, Ruan Mian felt a little relieved.
So she brought him to the downtown area of Yuzhou. While there were many people around, she touched the jade bracelet and muttered something in her heart.
Before coming here, he had already communicated with the spirit beasts in the space. Once his mind was opened, he suddenly saw countless birds and beasts flapping their wings and circling above his head in the sky.
The huge crowd attracted people in the downtown area to stop and watch.
It was the first time for people to see so many birds circling in such a large scale. They opened their eyes wide in surprise and talked about it.
Not only that, there were a lot of insects on the streets, and rats and ants were running around everywhere, making the downtown area extremely chaotic for a while.
Such a celestial phenomenon is very imaginative.
"Why are there so many birds suddenly here? It's a sign of disaster."
"Hey, what are these?"
The people who were originally rushing on their way now stopped, with worried expressions on their faces, not knowing what was going on.
Just when everyone's face showed fear, Ruan Mian lowered his voice, and his rough voice was very conspicuous in the crowd.
She was also filled with worry: "It is a strange sign from nature, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos!"
When people saw her dressed like a Taoist priest, they were curious and asked, "Master Taoist, what do you mean?"
"Recently, there have been numerous rains, and the river has risen, causing great suffering to all. In a few days, the heavens will become angry, and there may be a major disaster along the Linfen River, and the people will suffer."
As soon as these words were spoken, those people turned pale with fear and pricked up their ears.
"Master, please don't exaggerate! Yuzhou has been peaceful for many years and has never suffered any disaster. Heavy rain in early spring is common. How can it be as serious as you say?"
