Chapter 402: Roll Away
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Jingzhou sent by flying eagle."
Xiao Jin stood up and quickly took the message from the imperial guards without even waiting for Zhang Shuming to come forward.
He didn't notice that his hands were shaking when he opened the message.
There was only one short sentence on the note: "The queen fell into the flood and her whereabouts are still unknown."
“Hmm!”
Xiao Jin's hand holding the letter paper gradually turned pale, and a fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat.
He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted onto the letter paper, instantly staining it red.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” Zhang Shuming was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stepped forward to hold the man and shouted, “Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!”
Xiao Jin grabbed the imperial guard's collar, his eyes bloodshot, "Su Ying, Su Ying!"
Before he could finish his words, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
Xiao Jin had a nightmare. He dreamed that Su Ying was trapped in an endless flood. She struggled desperately to swim to the shore, but no matter how she struggled, the flood would swallow her up in a short time until her figure completely disappeared in the water.
"Su Ying!"
Xiao Jin suddenly sat up from the bed.
Upon hearing the voice, the imperial doctors came forward one after another, "Your Majesty, you are finally awake."
Xiao Jin ignored the imperial physician and simply got out of bed and walked towards the outer hall.
"Your Majesty, you are not well yet, where are you going?"
Zhang Shuming shouted and chased after him.
"Go, prepare a horse that can run a thousand miles a day, I want to take Jingzhou!" Xiao Jin said without turning his head.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. I beg you to think twice!" Zhang Shuming knelt in front of Xiao Jin and cried.
“Your Majesty, please think about it. The princess and the prince are still young. You cannot leave the capital at this time, Your Majesty…” After Zhang Shuming finished speaking, he bowed his head to the ground, and everyone in the hall knelt down.
Xiao Jin has only been on the throne for a short time and the situation in the court is still not stable. The Southern Kingdom is eyeing him covetously. If Xiao Jin leaves the capital at this time and something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, please think twice..."
Reason told Xiao Jin that he couldn't go, but as long as he thought that Su Ying might be dead or alive, he couldn't stay there for even a quarter of an hour!
Xiao Jin clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead throbbing, "No, I must go. She came to Jingzhou for me. She is in danger now, but I couldn't show up in time. This is all my fault!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen came to Jingzhou for the sake of the people of Chu. You are the ruler of a country. If something goes wrong on this trip, what will happen to the princes, princesses, and the people of Chu?"
"Damn it!" Xiao Jin was so angry that he punched the stone pillar hard and the blood on his hand instantly flowed down.
"Send a message to Jingzhou and ask them to tell me every detail of what happened! Ask them to send more people and find the whereabouts of the queen no matter what."
"Yes, yes, I will send someone to deliver the message right away. I will do it right away."
Seeing that Xiao Jin did not insist on going to Jingzhou, Zhang Shuming immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Jingzhou.
When Xiao Jin fainted due to anger, Zhang Shuming also saw the content of the message. Until now, he has not come to his senses. The queen fell into the raging flood!
What is the flood like? Is it possible to find yourself if you fall into it?
Zhang Shuming didn't dare to think too much about it, fearing that his strange emotions would affect Xiao Jin.
Outside the city of Jingzhou, when people heard that the queen was washed away by the flood while repairing the dam and protecting the people of Jingzhou, they all spontaneously ran to the lower reaches of the Cangjiang River to look for her.
They no longer dared to hope to find anyone alive, they just hoped that Su Ying's body would not be eaten clean by the fish in the river.
"My Lord, you haven't slept for several days. You should go and have a rest first."
From the day the flash flood broke out until now, Zhu Lin has been searching for Su Ying's whereabouts along the Cangjiang River. When he was hungry, he would just eat a few bites of dry food. When he was tired, he would sit on the ground. No matter how others persuaded him, he was unwilling to rest.
"I'm fine. I won't rest until I find the queen!"
The people below felt uncomfortable seeing Zhu Lin like this, and they were also very sad about Su Ying's departure.
The search continues, but no matter how hard they look, they cannot find it.
After Su Ying was washed into the flood, she immediately entered the space to hide, but the direction of the space was unable to move, so she could only find a spherical submarine ball and hide in it.
When it came out again, the submarine ball was quickly swept away by the flood.
Su Ying huddled in the submarine ball. As the flood rolled, she had no idea where she would be washed to.
However, she did not stay in the submarine ball all the time. After the submarine ball was swept into the flood, she could not stand the endless rolling and returned to the space.
The space cannot move, but the submarine ball is moving. As long as she enters the space from the submarine ball, she must still be in the submarine ball when she comes out.
Su Ying did not calculate the time, she just felt that the submarine ball was rolling in the water. When she was hungry, she ate the food she had stored before in the space. When she was tired, she slept. When she was bored, she picked out the bison in the space, skinned them and then cut the meat into pieces.
Not until she had processed all the beef in the space and returned to the submarine ball did Su Ying feel that the submarine ball finally stopped.
She opened the observation cabin window, but it was pitch black all around and she couldn't see a thing.
She could only turn on the lighting tools, but the submarine ball had problems after days of continuous collisions, and the lighting was also broken. If she wanted to find out the situation outside, she had to go out and see for herself.
But what is certain is that she is still in the water.
Su Ying changed into her diving equipment, returned to the submarine ball, opened the door and swam out.
She turned on the lighting tool in her hand and tried to find the direction of the light, but it was pitch black all around.
I don't know where it was rushed to.
Unable to find the light source and direction, Su Ying could only observe the situation around her to identify the area she was in.
While she was wondering, a huge creature suddenly swam slowly over her head. Su Ying shone its flashlight over it.
Oh my god, it’s a whale!
She was washed to the estuary and swept into the deep sea by the current!
After finding out that they were now in the sea, Su Ying didn't want to stay any longer. No matter in the past or now, what she hated most was going on missions to coastal areas.
At the end of the world, many marine creatures have undergone strange mutations and have evolved to the point where some can perfectly avoid strong attacks from chemical weapons. She is not afraid of tearing zombies apart with her bare hands, but she is afraid of the monsters in the ocean.
Su Ying returned to the submarine ball, but the power of the submarine ball had been destroyed and could not be used, so she had to abandon it.
She returned to the space, got a large magnifying glass and tried it on the seabed. She tried it back and forth many times, and only when she was sure which direction was the sea surface did she swim towards that direction.
But Su Ying didn't expect that before she could surface, she was caught by a fishing net.
