Chapter 69
Leave now
Xu Zhiyan knew that Jiang Zhaoying and Zhou Ruogu had a good relationship.
But I never thought about it.
They don't even care about the differences between men and women?
She could hug Zhou Ruogu in front of so many people as if no one was around, and she was so happy.
But I've never done this to myself before!
Bitterness took root and sprouted densely in Xu Zhiyan's heart, making him feel suffocated.
"Ruogu, why are you here?"
Zhou Ruogu held Jiang Zhaoying's face, looked her up and down carefully, and finally stared at her pale face and shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"There are thunder and lightning and strong winds in this town. How can I feel at ease? Besides, all the necessary preparations have been made. As long as the people come out in an orderly manner, it will be fine."
After he met up with Aba.
He rushed here without stopping, and when he arrived at the location designated by Jiang Zhaoying, he immediately started to make various arrangements.
Because he is rich, he is generous.
So we hired enough people in less than a day and got things done very quickly.
The prince's men first entered the provincial government office, where the county magistrate confirmed that everything was correct. When he heard that something big was going to happen in Qishan Town, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly sent people out to shout from door to door, asking everyone to make preparations overnight and wait for orders to move at any time.
First day.
Although the news spread more and more widely, people were talking about it and almost no one believed it.
The government office had no choice but to post the document with the official seal of the Imperial Observatory in a prominent place, and add the document from the Prince's Palace to increase the credibility of the matter.
"but."
Zhou Ruogu held Jiang Zhaoying's little hand and they sat down together.
"Thanks to that thunder and lightning, the people finally believed 70% of it. In addition, His Highness suddenly ordered that any family that moved out would receive a reward of 100 taels of silver. The people became active and are now leaving in an orderly manner. However, some elderly people said that they have lived here for 50 or 60 years and there has never been an earthquake. They don't believe anything and even said that even if they die, they would rather die in this town."
"kindness."
They had expected this kind of thing.
We are also prepared to sacrifice them. We can't let the majority of people die because of this small group of people.
In this situation, minimizing the losses is the best option.
"Ying'er."
Wei Jiuzhao's eyes fell on their clasped hands, and it took him a while to speak.
"Although you have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you also be more careful?"
As soon as he saw Xu Zhiyan's distraught look just now, he knew that he was in pain. Moreover, although Jiang Zhaoying planned to divorce, she was still the wife of Prince Song. Shouldn't he be more careful?
Jiang Zhaoying and Zhou Ruogu blinked and looked at each other, then they understood what Wei Jiuzhao was talking about. Jiang Zhaoying was about to explain.
Zhou Ruogu raised his handsome face and smiled.
"Master Wei, Ying'er and I are a good match, aren't we?"
After saying.
Zhou Ruogu squeezed Jiang Zhaoying's hand, and Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and stopped explaining.
He just lowered his eyes and smiled.
Xu Zhiyan looked at her eyes and eyebrows softening, and thought, maybe my junior sister really likes Young Master Zhou.
On the other hand, the prince.
He looked at Zhou Ruogu coldly.
Young Master Zhou is tall and thin, and he doesn’t even have much flesh on his body. How can he look manly?
Jiang Zhaoying is not a casual person, and there is no love in their eyes. Is there some secret here that he doesn't know?
Time is running out.
There was really no time to chat for long, so Jiang Zhaoying stood up.
"Your Highness, that matter requires long-term planning and timing. It can only be done in one fell swoop, otherwise everyone will die. Let's put it aside for now and go to the town to take another look."
"good."
Seeing the prince nod, everyone hurriedly packed up and then went down the mountain.
Along the way.
The prince had a gloomy face and would occasionally look at Zhou Ruogu thoughtfully.
Xu Zhiyan walked directly at the end of the team.
so.
When he looked up, he would not see Zhou Ruogu's ambiguous look of concern for him.
After entering Qishan town.
No.
At this time, the boundary marker had changed Qishan Town to Qingshan Town.
They first found an inn as the gathering place, and then Jiang Zhaoying, Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao asked people to call all the fortune tellers in the town. After explaining everything to them, they asked them to stick the talismans at the four directions of the town.
after.
They set out in three directions respectively. As long as the arrangements were proper, the dragon vein would be able to move to the river five hundred miles away according to their wishes.
Jiang Zhaoying found Cheng Ting'an and said something before leaving.
Until the secret guards, the commander of the imperial guards, and Lord Wu from the yamen led all the officials under them to the inn.
Cheng Ting'an just came back to his senses from Jiang Zhaoying's words.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person, Lord Wu and his entourage were so shocked that sweat broke out on their foreheads. They thought to themselves that it was a good thing that they handled the matter decisively and personally, otherwise they would have lost a good opportunity to show their abilities.
Shen Liuguang spread the map of Qingshan Town on the table, and everyone gathered around the table to discuss.
"Your Highness, Qingshan Town is a large town in this area. It covers a very wide area, and the residents are concentrated and dispersed. The town is surrounded by mountains on both sides and water on one side. Only one side is flat land that can be used for retreat. I am currently doing my best to arrange for the people to leave Qingshan Town and go to the place designated by Your Highness."
The prince nodded and pointed to the area they had arranged.
"We need to go faster. The celestial phenomena are changing. We cannot predict when and when the earthquake will occur."
Lord Wu quickly agreed and gave the order.
After some discussion, it was getting dark.
It was not until he had a chance to catch his breath that the prince turned around and looked around, and finally he couldn't help but ask them.
"Is Jiang Zhaoying not back yet?"
"Your Highness, there is no news yet."
Shen Liuguang stepped forward and replied.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes. They had been gone for three hours, but none of them had returned yet.
After dark.
Everyone simply ate some porridge, and the prince stood in the yard with a frown on his face.
Suddenly.
The night sky should have been pitch black, but for some reason a red light appeared in the distance.
When Cheng Ting'an saw the red light, he remembered Jiang Zhaoying's instructions, a struggle flashed in his eyes, and he hurried forward and said.
"Your Highness, Miss Jiang asked us to leave first."
"leave?"
The prince's tone was gloomy.
"Since she said so, it means that she is in danger at the moment. How can I leave? Did she say where she is going and where to set up the formation?"
"No."
Cheng Ting'an shook his head.
He asked before they left, but Jiang Zhaoying left without saying anything.
"What use are you for?"
The prince was filled with hostility and anger.
Cheng Ting'an lowered his head, a look of guilt flashing across his eyes.
He did deliberately not ask about Jiang Zhaoying's whereabouts because he was afraid that His Highness would go looking for her.
What he has to do now is to take His Highness away.
Otherwise, once the earth starts to shake, they will have nowhere to escape.
"Your Highness, let's follow Miss Jiang's arrangements and leave first."
Thanks to the spread of the news by Taoist priests, fortune tellers, and storytellers, and with the help of Lord Wu, the common people already knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to Qingshan Town in person.
They all speculated that what was going to happen this time might be a big thing, so in a panic they no longer hesitated, and hurriedly took the reward and left with their families.
The good news is that this time, some stubborn elderly people are willing to leave with their families.
"I want to find Jiang Zhaoying and take her with me."
The prince looked coldly at the strange phenomenon in the distant sky and spoke with a cold brow. Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an looked at each other, with helplessness and anxiety in their eyes.
The ground beneath my feet was gradually getting hot, and I could even feel a groaning sound coming from underground.
If you don't leave.
It's really unpredictable.
"Your Highness."
Shen Liuguang raised his hand and wanted to knock the Crown Prince unconscious, but he didn't know that the Crown Prince had already prepared for this move and kicked him out.
immediately.
The prince strode out of the yard, jumped on his horse, pulled the reins and looked at Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an who were very anxious.
"She is a weak woman, but she can be so righteous, and yet you are trapped here in injustice."
Chen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an felt guilty, so they quickly got up and mounted their horses, following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and rode away.
It took about half an hour to run.
A thick fog suddenly emerged from the mountains. In just a moment, it formed large patches of fog, instantly blocking their vision.
Shen Liuguang raised the torch in his hand and turned around.
"Your Highness, we can't see anything at all. It's too dangerous to go any further."
This is really bad. I can neither move forward nor backward. I can only stand here and worry.
The prince was extremely anxious. He rode his horse forward two steps and spoke fiercely into the night.
"Since you want me to marry her, how can I rest assured that she is in trouble now? If you really have a spirit, then show me a way out."
The smoke in front of them suddenly billowed up, and Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an were so frightened that they stood on the left and right to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However.
What shocked them was that in less than a quarter of an hour, the fog in front of their eyes seemed to have eyes and actually split open a path.
The prince paused for a moment, then slowly ran out along the winding road in the fog with a torch in hand.
The road was very difficult to walk on, almost going up and down the mountain. After climbing over several hills, we saw a very strange scene in front of us.
There seemed to be dark clouds rolling overhead, the wind was blowing against the surrounding woods, the leaves were rustling, and a feeling of eerie coldness came over me.
Boom.
With a sudden deafening sound, a powerful force rushed towards them. The three princes hurriedly pressed their horses to the ground and they lay under the horses.
However.
The three of them escaped the attack, but the three horses died on the spot.
"Your Highness."
Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an hurriedly moved towards the prince.
"It's too dangerous, we have to go."
Judging from the noise and the destructive power, the earthquake might have already begun.
If it is true, it will come much earlier than they expected, and it will be very fierce. If they don't leave, it will be really dangerous.
"Jiang Zhaoying must be over there."
Since the dragon vein is determined to get angry, it will definitely choose Jiang Zhaoying's location as the first place to open fire.
only.
Why in advance?
Boom.
There was another explosion, and then the ground beneath their feet began to shake. Chen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an clung to the prince in fear, and they quickly ran to an open area. The mudslide behind them kept pouring down, almost following their footsteps.
It was not until the three men were exhausted and lay on the rocks to catch their breath that the mudslide behind them calmed down.
The prince looked into the distance with a dark look in his eyes. He knew that he should leave now, but... when he thought of Jiang Zhaoying being buried under the rock flow, his heart suddenly seemed to crack open.
He couldn't bear to see Jiang Zhaoying get into trouble!
"Your Highness, let's go."
It may not be too late to leave now. Once this matter is resolved, the Emperor will definitely reward His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's prestige among the people will continue to rise.
"Your Highness, Miss Jiang has said that she will not regret it regardless of life or death. She only hopes that Your Highness will be a wise ruler in the future and allow the people to live and work in peace. That will be enough for her."
Cheng Ting'an knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, stepped forward to explain the last words Jiang Zhaoying had told him, and then stopped him.
"Miss Jiang said that no matter what method is used, His Highness must leave as soon as possible."
"Asshole!"
Seeing that Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an were about to attack him, the prince was furious and split them apart, angrily saying.
"If you abandon your companions, even if I leave safely, will you still think of me as a good prince as before?"
"Your Highness, it's not wrong to consider the overall situation."
That’s right!
But he didn't want to do that, he wanted to take Jiang Zhaoying with him.
The rumbling sound in the distance became louder and louder, and the vibration caused the soil under his feet to begin to tear. The prince looked at them coldly and slowly raised the sword to his neck.
Shen Liuguang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, grabbed Cheng Ting'an and moved to the side. Then the prince ran into the fog over there.
"Jiang Zhaoying?"
The prince shouted Jiang Zhaoying's name loudly. From a distance, it seemed like a small hill, but once he ran closer, he realized that the mountain in front of him was so huge.
The towering trees and the originally compact soil and rocks seemed to be crushed by a giant hand, and they shattered and fell straight down.
"Jiang Zhaoying."
far away.
Jiang Zhaoying, covering her wound, suddenly looked into the distance behind her.
She seemed to hear someone calling her, but in such a place and in such danger, it was impossible to hear any sound.
She was standing on a huge rock, looking coldly at the big pit below.
Seeing the black shadow continuously drilling down into the ground, Jiang Zhaoying's face turned pale and her body began to tremble.
No wonder it took that man thirteen years to plan this. He was afraid that Jiang Zhaoying was still strong and wanted to prevent Jiang Zhaoying from counterattacking, so he captured many ghosts and sealed them in this big pit, nourishing them day and night until they became extremely powerful and then he pushed forward the plan.
Because these wronged souls sensed the existence of the dragon vein, they rushed down frantically, trying to absorb the breath of the dragon vein. Even if they only took a breath of dragon breath, they could be reborn again. If they took a few more breaths, they could even be reborn into the family of princes and nobles, and become rich and powerful from then on.
It was also because of their offense that the dragon veins became furious, causing the earth to shake, houses to collapse, and the earthquake to happen prematurely.
These wronged souls reached a deal with that person, and were willing to be driven by that person in order to be reincarnated.
only.
The man only told them one thing and not the other.
They do not have such a destiny. Even if they change their destiny and are reborn into a noble family, they committed evil deeds in their previous lives and their natures have not been cleansed, which will lead to more bloodshed and tragedy.
Until then.
No matter how capable Jiang Zhaoying is, she will be punished by heaven.
If she were alone, that would be fine.
If she has offspring, the retribution will then be passed on to her offspring.
The wronged souls were originally more excited than each other, thinking that they could absorb the dragon's energy and leap thousands of miles away. However, the appearance of Jiang Zhaoying stopped them all. The wronged souls were anxious and angry, and they rushed towards Jiang Zhaoying one by one with their teeth bared.
Their strength is so strong that they can tear off the flesh from Jiang Zhaoying's body with just one bite.
There were bloody wounds on her body one after another, and blood kept gushing out. Jiang Zhaoying endured the severe pain, pursed her red lips, dodged, and took out the soul-calming mirror and placed it on her chest.
"I pity you for being wronged ghosts and I want to save you, but you are stubborn and want to use dragon energy to change your fate. There is no such easy thing in this world. Even if you succeed in changing your fate, you will definitely die a violent death after you are born, and there will be no recovery from then on."
However.
No matter how Jiang Zhaoying tried to persuade her, the dark mass was always ready to move, opening its big black mouth and wanting to swallow Jiang Zhaoying.
Jiang Zhaoying watched coldly, her anger growing. She took out the Soul-Calming Mirror and threw it towards the most densely packed black shadows. Then, amid screams, many wronged souls instantly disappeared into thin air.
Seeing their companions disappear, the rest of them became hysterical and desperate, rushing towards Jiang Zhaoying recklessly, biting her shoulders and arms hard.
at the same time.
Hundreds of miles away.
In a side room, someone suddenly covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then shock flashed in his eyes and he kept muttering.
"Impossible, impossible."
"Jiang Zhaoying."
The prince's hair was stained with a layer of mist. As soon as he pushed aside the dense branches, he was hit by a violent aura and fell backwards. The prince was frightened and flew forward hurriedly. The moment he saw Jiang Zhaoying's figure, he leaped and jumped to Jiang Zhaoying's side.
The wronged souls smelled the same scent as the prince, and instantly opened their mouths and pounced towards him.
Jiang Zhaoying pushed them away one by one with a cold look in her eyes.
Then.
Jiang Zhaoying and the prince looked at each other. The prince nodded quickly, pretending to be weak and hid behind Jiang Zhaoying.
soon.
The inconspicuous one at the edge suddenly became powerful and drilled into the prince's body in the blink of an eye.
Hahaha.
The wronged spirit was so excited that he couldn't help making strange noises. As long as he entered the prince's body, he would be the prince from then on.
Jiang Zhaoying's eyebrows were slightly fierce, and the talisman paper in the palm of her hand suddenly flashed. Then she pinched the wronged soul and after silently reciting something, a flame quickly passed through the wronged soul and disappeared effortlessly.
Jiang Zhaoying frowned, pulled out the hairpin on her head, grabbed the Crown Prince's wrist, pierced his palm, let the hairpin be stained with his blood, and then threw it hard into the big pit below.
The hairpin was obviously very small, but it suddenly emitted a powerful murderous aura like a giant sword, stabbed deeply into the soil and began to tremble. Jiang Zhaoying pointed at the wronged souls and scolded them angrily.
"Don't overestimate your own abilities, break!"
