Chapter 55 Song Sheng fell into the water. It was obvious that she just wanted to use him...
It’s Song Yanxuan.
Min Shian walked over quickly, not caring about him dressing up as a ghost to scare people at night. He frowned and said quickly, "The rain is getting heavier."
"No, organize the evacuation of all the people in the city immediately."
"Even though the risk is huge, it's better than sacrificing the lives of the people of two cities!"
Song Sheng sighed, rubbed his brow, and said, "Your Highness, evacuating civilians on a large scale is not as simple as you think, and accidents could happen at any time."
"Since the governor of Jiangzhou initiated this, they have been continuously transporting civilians in batches. However, for various reasons, they have only been placed in the nearby Xiashui City."
"Can……"
Before Min Shian could finish his words, the person in charge of liaison with Luoshuigou ran up to the two of them with a mournful look on his face. Without even bothering to greet them, he wailed, "Oh no!"
"Two adults!"
"The water level in Luoshuigou has risen sharply! There is a risk of a flood at any time!"
Song Sheng held his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You go inform the other adults. Her Royal Highness and I will go check it out first."
The man nodded randomly and ran to the other tents to report with a look of fear on his face.
Min Shian and Song Sheng exchanged a glance, then strode quickly towards Luoshuigou.
The riverbank envoy guarding the Luoshui ditch wished he could be split in two, and kept ordering his men to speed up the digging of the canal to divert water.
Seeing the water level in Luoshuigou rising visibly, Min Shian's heart stopped beating suddenly, and then began beating violently.
If there are any problems with Luoshuigou...
She and Song Sheng didn't say a word, immediately picked up the tools and started to help.
Fortunately, the governor of Jiangzhou soon arrived with a large group of people, and the situation was temporarily alleviated.
Jiangzhou Mu, with his sharp eyes, saw the two men bent over and working hard to dig the soil and hurried over. The surroundings were too noisy, so he narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, Lord Song."
"How dare you two do it yourself!"
"It's dangerous here, please return to the command tent as soon as possible!"
Min Shian felt a faint voice howling something in her ear, but she had no time to pay attention to it. She thought that if she could go faster, the people in the city would be safer.
It was not until Chuntao grabbed her arm that Min Shian came back to her senses from her mechanical movements. She turned her head and her whole body had been washed by the heavy rain for half an hour.
"master!"
Chun Tao shouted anxiously, "Master! Please go back! There are so many people here, you are not the only one needed!"
"Where's Lord Song?!"
"Why didn't Master Song stop you?"
Min Shian suddenly came back to his senses, and his mind, which had been in a mess due to excessive worry, suddenly became clear.
Where's Song Yanxuan?!
She looked around, her eyes wide open searching for the white figure, and even though the rain splashed into her eyes, she was reluctant to close them.
"Where's Song Yanxuan?!"
Chuntao was frightened by her appearance and hurriedly followed her to look for her.
Min Shian's eyes were extremely sore. She took Chuntao to look for him everywhere, but she still couldn't find Song Sheng.
She grabbed Jiangzhou Mu and asked sternly, "Where's Song Yanxuan?!"
Jiangzhou Mu was originally angry about who was causing the trouble, but when he saw it was Min Shian, he immediately knelt on the ground. The splashing mud and water added many spots to Min Shian's already dirty clothes.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Min Shian couldn't believe what she heard. She suddenly kicked Jiangzhou Mu over and said in a hoarse voice, "Say it again?"
"What happened to Song Yanxuan?!"
Jiangzhou Mu knelt down again and repeated tremblingly, "Lord Song..."
"Lord Song was just repairing the diversion channel beside the Luoshui Canal when he was accidentally washed away by the water..."
"Don't worry, Princess. I've already sent someone to look for him!"
Min Shian said angrily: "What are you doing with so many men? How can such a good person be swept away?"
"Don't you know who he is?!"
"Within one day, I must see the person alive or the body dead!"
After Jiangzhou Mu left, she lost all her strength and sat down on the ground, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
But after not seeing each other for a while, how come it became like this?
Chuntao went forward to help but failed, so she simply sat cross-legged on the ground and accompanied her in silence.
"Xiao Tao, where is Song Chen?"
Min Shian held Chuntao and continued, "Tell Song Chen to dispatch some people to find Song Yanxuan."
"Master, Song Chen went to pick up the miracle doctor and was unaware of the situation."
"Don't worry, everyone present who can be sent to look for Lord Song has been sent."
Chun Tao hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Master, you should go back and wait. It would be bad if you get wet here."
Min Shian was about to open her mouth to refute, but she felt dizzy and she vaguely saw Chuntao's terrified face, and then she knew nothing.
*
She was awakened by a nightmare.
Song Yanxuan's bloody face was too shocking. Min Shian stood up suddenly, and her eyes went dark. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was in reality or a dream.
"Master, you are awake, how do you feel?"
Chun Tao lit a candle, brought a cup of hot water and placed it aside, then continued, "Master, the doctor has come to see you and said you were overworked. It's nothing serious, so you should rest well."
Min Shian regained consciousness, drank the water, and when his throat felt less uncomfortable, he asked, "How long was I unconscious? Has Song Yanxuan been found?"
"Master, you have been unconscious for half a day, and there is no news from Lord Song yet."
The light in Min Shian's eyes dimmed when she heard this. She didn't know why Song Yanxuan's accident made her so worried.
Obviously, she just wanted to use him.
If one Song Yanhao dies, there will be countless people like Song Yanhao who hold great power.
Min Shian lowered his eyebrows and sat quietly on the hay couch.
She thought about it for a long time and understood the crux of the problem.
Even if there are more people in power who can be used by her, to her, there are only tens of millions of people in the world.
Only Song Yanxuan is unique.
I think she is not just taking advantage of Song Yanxuan. After all, she is not a plant or a tree, and she still has some true feelings for him.
She walked out with Chuntao. Outside the tent, everyone was busy running around. Those who were not in a hurry held umbrellas, while those who were in a hurry covered their heads with their hands and walked quickly in the heavy rain.
Min Shian raised his head slightly and asked in surprise, "Xiao Tao, is the rain getting lighter?"
Chuntao looked up when she heard that.
After a moment, she was equally surprised and said, "Yes, Master. The rain is indeed not as heavy as it was before you fainted."
"How's the situation over in Luoshuigou?" Min Shian continued, "Have those refugees with high fevers subsided?"
"Luoshuigou has stabilized and there will be no problems at least before the originally expected time."
Chun Tao finished speaking and thought for a moment before continuing, "As for those people with high fever, I haven't heard of any problems."
"It should be the same as before."
Min Shi'an nodded. As long as there were no other sudden symptoms at present, and they could hold on until the so-called miracle doctor mentioned by Song Yanxuan arrived, perhaps these people still had a chance of survival.
Song Yanxuan...
She sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Tao, I have to go somewhere. You go take care of the rest of the refugees. I'll be back in an hour."
Chun Tao hesitated for a long time, but finally responded, "Yes, Master."
Min Shian coughed lightly a few times and slowly walked towards Luoshuigou.
It would be great if Song Yanxuan could be found.
If I can't find it...
Min Shian quickened her pace. She would never allow this to happen.
She had already informed Xiao Shi, who was already in Sui Yang City. That little girl was very smart and had established a firm foothold in Sui Yang City in the early years by relying on various ingenious methods.
Although he cannot compare with the aristocratic families with huge roots, Xiao Shi has a tight intelligence network in Suiyang City and several surrounding cities.
Various merchants and caravans, even some prominent figures, would seek intelligence from Xiao Shi.
With Xiao Shi around, Song Yanxuan would surely appear in front of her again safely.
Min Shian gripped the umbrella handle tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force. She kept comforting herself that Xiao Shi had always been reliable, and this time would be no exception.
The situation in Luoshuigou has indeed stabilized. Although everyone has tried their best to dig diversion channels to divert water, the situation is no longer as urgent as before.
When Jiangzhou Mu caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to be under a spell, standing still, not knowing what to do.
However, this state only lasted for a moment. He quickly dropped the tools in his hand, hurried over, and said, "Your Highness the Princess."
"Your Highness, what are your instructions?"
Min Shian shook his head and said, "I came here to see Luoshuigou."
She waved at Jiangzhou Mu and continued, "Do whatever you need to do. I'll just take a walk."
Jiangzhou Mu's legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground as if his bones were broken. He said tremblingly, "I will send some people to escort Her Royal Highness. This will ensure Her Royal Highness's safety."
Min Shian's expression remained unchanged but she felt a little unhappy inside. Before she came here, she deliberately left Chuntao behind so that she could walk around along Luoshuigou alone.
By the way, go to the place where Song Yanxuan had the accident and see if you can find any missing clues.
If the governor of Jiangzhou sends more people to follow her, what is the point of her keeping Chuntao here?
Min Shian was about to open her mouth to refuse, but she saw that Jiangzhou Mu was shaking like a sieve because of her momentary silence.
I think the shadow cast by Song Yanxuan's incident was too great for him.
She sighed, feeling a little bit reluctant. The governor of Jiangzhou was old and was about to retire, but unfortunately, the weather was not good and he happened to encounter a flood that rarely happened in a century.
"My Lord, what are you doing? Get up quickly. My Lord, you have been working so hard on the Luoshui Ditch and the Suling River embankment lately. You must take care of your health."
"Please send a few people over there."
Jiangzhou Mu was as if he had been pardoned. He stood up and quickly called a few people over. He said, "Your Highness, these people are all good at water. Let them escort you. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Thank you, sir."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
Min Shi'an was walking aimlessly along the turbulent Luoshui ditch. When he came to a branch canal, he accidentally discovered something.
