"What's your name? I've seen you several times, and every time you were always at the front." The eldest princess asked the female guard captain who was wearing simple clothes beside her.
The female guard captain bowed her head in admiration and said, "My name is Ge Qing, Princess."
The eldest princess nodded: "Okay, I will remember this."
Next to them, no matter how much the couple tried to persuade the people, they failed. They did not believe it and went together to seek help from the court.
Only a small number of people stayed here.
"Princess, let us do what we can. We can help carry people, collect herbs, and cook." said several elderly people.
The younger ones volunteered to join the rescue team.
Two hours later, most of the people who went to ask the court for help came back. Some of them were too proud to come again.
Facing the eldest princess and her soldiers.
The people's eyes were red, their faces filled with shame, and they knelt down crying, "Princess, let us join the rescue. I want to save my sister."
"Princess, the imperial court is truly inhumane. Not only did they not send troops to rescue us, they also beat us up and threw us out of the city."
"Princess, we were wrong before. We didn't know how to appreciate kindness and didn't know how to be grateful..."
The eldest princess watched them quietly as they apologized and cried.
You see.
Some people still need to be compared.
Only through comparison can we know who is good to them.
Otherwise, it is more as it should be.
It was unknown how long it took, until the people were all feeling uneasy, before the eldest princess waved her hand and stopped them from crying and admitting their mistakes.
Her eyes were cold and calm as she said, "If you want to rescue your relatives, get on the rescue boat yourself."
"The soldiers under my command are also human beings. They get tired, feel pain, get injured, and die. It's a miracle that they can persist without sleep until now!"
"I don't ask for your gratitude, but I do ask for your understanding of their hardships and their helplessness! There's only one day left. We must retreat before tomorrow!"
"This time, you are the ones who are asking to come back, so you must obey orders. If you don't obey orders, you will be punished with military sticks. If you are the leader of the trouble, you will be expelled directly..."
This time, facing the eldest princess's dominance, everyone no longer had any resistance or resentment. Instead, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts for the eldest princess's kindness to them.
The princess asked them to line up in several teams, with two villagers getting on each lifeboat to follow the soldiers in rescuing people.
The rest of the people waited for the next group to come back before going to rescue.
The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are arranged here to do what they can.
As dusk fell, the rescue operation became much faster with the participation of villagers.
But when the village chief counted the number of people, he found that some people were still missing.
But it was almost dark at this time.
The eldest princess looked at the desperate and hopeful eyes of the villagers who had lost their loved ones, and placed all their hopes on herself. Their lips were chapped and their faces were pale and thin. Some of them even followed the soldiers on two rescue trips.
They rescued many people, but none of them were their relatives.
They looked at the eldest princess silently. Although there were no words, their expressions were worth more than a thousand words.
A heavy feeling of sadness lingered among the villagers.
The princess pursed her lips, glanced at the sky, and then remembered Gu Sang's repeated warnings. She closed her eyes and said, "Let's go one last time!"
"We'll search with torches! We must not abandon anyone!"
"After midnight, retreat together!"
"Bang bang bang!!" Everyone had tears in their eyes, and some even knelt down and kowtowed in front of the eldest princess.
They knew that the eldest princess had done her best!
In the past few days, the princess has sent countless people to look for him and has never stopped.
If it still can't be found, then it is likely that the person has already met with an accident.
Otherwise there would be no response until now.
The eldest princess gathered all the old, weak and sick people together and arranged for them to evacuate first.
This time, everyone silently obeyed the eldest princess's orders and submitted to her from the bottom of their hearts, their eyes full of gratitude and emotion.
Hundreds of torches were reflected on the lake, creating shimmering waves.
Thousands of voices gathered together and shouted towards the distant mountains:
"We are the rescuers, is there anyone here?"
It was soon the second half of the night, and when everyone came back again, they had tried their best to rescue hundreds of people.
"Time's up! Retreat!"
"My soldiers have done their best." The princess no longer hesitated and led everyone to retreat to the outskirts of the nearest county town.
At this time, the sky was already getting light.
Those who were finally rescued were quickly found by their relatives.
"Wife, son, I thought I would never see you again. If only I hadn't gone out to find food alone, we wouldn't have been separated."
"My daughter! Wuwuwuwu, seeing you are still alive, I can die with my eyes closed."
"All this is thanks to the great kindness of the Goddess and the Princess!"
“…”
Boom!!!
The earth-shattering rumbling sound, like thousands of horses galloping, instantly drowned out the cries of everyone present, and also made everyone's hearts sink suddenly.
Here we come!
More violent flash floods are coming!
Everyone looked up in the direction of Liujiang City. They could not see the flood rushing down from the mountains, uprooting thousand-year-old trees, and the houses they had worked hard to build and live in for a lifetime being destroyed in an instant.
They could not see the flood that was like a pillar connecting heaven and earth, but they knew that Liujiang City was gone from then on.
They have no home anymore!
They are going to be displaced!
Fortunately, my relatives and friends are all there.
But after today, where will so many of them go to survive?
The heavy rain soaked everyone, and the raindrops were so big that it hurt when they hit their faces.
Seeing that the princess was still getting wet in the rain, the subordinate hurriedly opened an umbrella for her.
The eldest princess pushed away the umbrella on her head and walked up to the villagers whose faces were numb with pain.
Using all her might, she said, "Fellow villagers, Plague City is willing to take you in. If you want to go to Plague City, follow me!"
"I will help you rebuild your homes in Plague City, and I will ensure that you never go hungry again."
As soon as these words fell.
Everyone raised their heads, shock in their eyes.
The eldest princess...is willing to take in these homeless people!!
It was at this moment!
Sudden!
"Da da da!"
The uniform clatter of horses' hooves on the earth made a heavy, dull sound.
At a glance, thousands of soldiers and horses were coming.
Are those the imperial army?
"You bold rebel! These are all citizens of my court. How dare you incite my people to rebel with you?" The leading general attacked the eldest princess directly.
This time Zhou Qichen is not with the eldest princess, which is his best chance to capture the eldest princess.
As the general thought this, the murderous intent in his eyes reached its peak.
Holding a spear, he stabbed straight at the princess—
