Chapter 313 I can throw him a piece of wood
Guo Shuangwen looked at the prefect in shock. Yes, it was she who sent people to spread the rumors, but...what kind of things did they spread? How could this be considered God's punishment for her?
"You...what are you going to do? I'm the Princess of Beining. You can't kill me. I'm still useful to you. You still have to use me to pay compensation to Beining."
"You...don't come over here, don't come over here."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and walked over to grab Guo Shuangwen by the back of his neck. "This princess will take you with me. If those innocent people can't be saved because of the good deeds done by your wild father, this princess will throw you into the river to be buried with you!"
"My Lord, let's go."
Seeing Envoy Guo Shuangwen and Wei Jie being taken away by Aoao, they exchanged glances. They were really afraid that Bu Ruo would get angry and throw the person into the river, so they quickly followed. Although they also wanted to let that idiot be buried with him, they thought about their own lives... forget it, at worst the princess would throw the person in and they would quietly fish him out.
"Aunt Bi'er, are you full? Bubu is full. If you are full, let's go quickly and chase our parents. Bubu also wants to go and save people."
Bi'er and Meiying looked at each other and could only pick up the two children and chase after them after taking protective measures. However, they didn't expect that the rain still avoided them after they went out, which made the prefect's eyes almost pop out.
"Look, look, I said this heavy rain has nothing to do with the princess. If God really wanted to punish the princess, why would she avoid the young master and the young princess?"
"It's all Princess Beining's fault. God is punishing her! Doctor Jin, are you going? Doctor Du is over there right now."
Jin Congcong nodded: "Go, I want to go to such a dangerous place to protect my master. If my master falls into the river, I... I can still throw him a piece of wood."
The prefect: You are really a good disciple of your master, and a closed-door disciple at that.
"Sir, let's go. Pull on the back of my neck, but remember to be gentle. Every time Cen Nan and the others pull, I can't breathe."
The prefect, who was nearly fifty years old, pointed at himself and said, "Your subordinate...your subordinate is holding you? Your subordinate is a civil servant and doesn't know martial arts or Qinggong. Otherwise, you should hold your subordinate. Your subordinate is not afraid. Just fly slower and lower. Your subordinate is a bit old, and flying too fast can't take it."
Jin Congcong: ...
"I don't know how either. If they all fly away, how are we going to get there?"
The prefect sighed as he looked outside: "Today... we can only walk through. If we walk faster, we might even see the princess throwing people."
Jin Congcong: ...
At the riverside, Cen Nan had already gone down to rescue a few people, but many officers, soldiers and civilians had not come up yet.
"I have met the princess, but the prince is not here?"
"The prince has gone to the embankment. What's the situation here?"
Bu Ruo stood by the river. Although she was holding an umbrella, the corner of her skirt was still wet. Guo Shuangwen had already been thrown aside to get wet in the rain.
"Princess, this river is not shallow and connects to the river below. Now that the dam has been destroyed, the river is flowing rapidly without any obstruction, making salvage very difficult. Many people have been washed downstream."
"Is there a solution?"
Cen Nan looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, it is. It just needs to stop raining or get lighter. It's so heavy now that you can't even see clearly. Some people just managed to get their heads out before being beaten down by the heavy rain."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and asked, "If the rain stops, will an hour be enough?"
"It's enough, but only enough to rescue the people nearby. If we rescue those who were washed away, it will take at least two hours."
"Okay, then two hours." Bu Ruo's eyes were cold. "Find someone to keep an eye on this princess. If the dam on the prince's side is destroyed again, you can throw this broken princess down to me. There's no need to rescue her."
Guo Shuangwen looked at Bu Ruo who was crying in fear, "No, you can't. What does the destruction of this dam have to do with me? You can't throw me down."
"It has nothing to do with you? Haha, do you believe that?"
When Cen Nan heard Bu Ruo's words, he looked at Guo Shuangwen with a bad look and said, "Yes, I will remember this. If there is any problem with the dam again, I will throw people down immediately."
The envoys and guards who arrived felt their hearts sink. Are their heads...really going to be in danger?
"Go and prepare. The rainstorm will stop in an incense stick at most. Hurry up. I may not be able to hold out for two hours, but I will try my best."
The officers, soldiers and civilians who were trying to find ways to save people were so shocked when they heard Bu Ruo's words that they forgot what to do. There was doubt in their eyes, but more of hope.
After such a long time, they have developed feelings for the soldiers and are as close as a family. Some of the civilians who fell down to help are their relatives and friends.
"Is that woman the princess?"
"That's probably it. I've never seen such a stunning woman here before. I heard that the Regent Princess brought a convoy into the city yesterday. So many convoys were full of food and herbs. The only one who could appear here and have Lord Cen obey her orders could be the Princess herself."
"Did you hear what the princess said just now? Was it because the rain was so heavy that I heard it wrong?"
"You heard right. The princess said she would try to stop the rain for two hours so we could hurry and rescue people. But...it's raining, and it's a torrential downpour. The princess isn't a god, so how could she stop the rain just like that?"
"Who says the princess isn't a god? The princess is. Have you forgotten the miracle that happened in Kyoto a few years ago? A god even descended and personally acknowledged that the princess was her disciple who had come down to earth to experience trials and tribulations."
"That's what I said, but it's just a rumor after all. If the princess can't stop the rain, then... then my brother is doomed. He's been washed downstream. If we can't rescue him, it'll be even more impossible to save him once he's in the river."
"My brother and I are the only ones left in my family. He hasn't dared to rest for so many years to support me and save more dowry for me. If my brother dies, I won't live either."
Under the awning by the river, a woman took the eight or nine-year-old girl into her arms and said, "My dear, that's not a rumor, it's true."
"real?"
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's true." The woman looked in Bu Ruo's direction and said respectfully, "My sister married and moved to Kyoto. A few years ago, she was seriously ill and I went to visit her. That night, she wasn't feeling well, and I stayed up all night to keep vigil for her. I was lucky enough to witness a miracle with my own eyes."
"The deity who once protected our Great Zhou descended in person and acknowledged that the princess was her disciple. I was there and saw it clearly."
"That night, countless flowers bloomed from the Prince Regent's Palace, which was then the Prince of War's Palace. The flowers began to spread from the ground of the palace and spread all over Kyoto. They even cured my sister's illness, and not only my sister, but many others as well."
