178. Chapter 178 Mudslide



Others believed that it was possible that the rabbit was given by the family of an exile as a gift to the prisoner for food on the road, but the prisoner was not held properly and ran away, and then suddenly ran into the forest and could no longer be found.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The whole world, apart from the sound of rain, was filled with the sounds of the earth shaking and rocks rolling.

More than ten minutes passed, the ground stopped moving, and the rain was still falling, even heavier than before.

People lay on the ground, looking at the village below the mountain.

In a short time, the whole Da Liuzhuang had changed. It seemed that toys broken by bad-tempered children were scattered all over the floor.

People watched all this in amazement.

At this time, all the prisoners and officials, without exception, were very glad that they had made the right choice. If only they hadn't gone up the mountain at this time.

Boom——

There were bursts of roaring sounds.

People felt a tingling sensation on their backs, thinking there was another wave of aftershocks coming.

The ground beneath me did not shake, but I heard a roar that sounded like a dragon from the depths of hell.

Then everyone was stunned to see a huge yellow stream mixed with rocks, trees, and corpses of wild animals rushing in from the other side of the foot of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, Da Liuzhuang disappeared from everyone's sight.

Half an hour later, the area below the mountainside was all water, and the mountain became like an island floating on the water.

"If this had been in the ancestral hall just now—"

Su Chengyi murmured, looking at his wife and children beside him, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Rabbit, can you sense if there will be any danger in the next few days?"

Su Mibao looked at the prisoners and officials lying on the ground, all with wooden faces. She asked the rabbit in the space worriedly. The mountain forest to the west of Daluozhuang stretched all the way to the northwest, and no one knew how far it was.

The mudslides flooded the official road leading to exile in the north. With so many of them, they couldn't just stay in the mountains forever.

If you go into the mountains, go northwest.

It takes four or five hundred miles to get from the capital to Yangcheng by official road. When they arrived at Daluozhuang, there were only about two hundred miles left to Yangcheng. If they walked diagonally through the forest, they should be able to reach the border of Yangcheng in four or five days. As long as they reached the border of Yangcheng, they would be out of the jurisdiction of the capital.

Of course, think about it, the capital city now, the earth is turning over, the walls are collapsing, the ground is destroyed and people are dying. The old emperor must be so scared that he has no mood to care about these exiles. The mess in the capital city after the earthquake is enough for him to clean up for a while.

Su Mibao remembered that the original book wrote that a dragon turned over and destroyed one-third of the houses in the capital. More than half of the people were killed or injured. But the main part of the inner city palace was still there. Several of the emperor's concubines died, but he himself was alive and well. He was indeed a true dragon emperor, with a very tough life.

But after this earthquake, the capital city was no longer habitable.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory made a divination and asked about the country's destiny. God warned that only by moving the capital could the country be pacified and the fate of the world be settled.

In the following months, the dog emperor, with all the officials in the capital, many wealthy businessmen, and a large group of concubines, began a massive movement to move the capital.

The direction of Xindu is also north.

"Warden Zhou, what should we do next?"

The officers surrounded Zhou Fuan, all of them still feeling frightened.

"It's no use for so many people to be stuck on this mountain forever. Look at the water below the mountain. It won't be dried up anytime soon."

Zhou Fuan was also worried.

Chu Mingyang left, and the three hundred exiles were all in his hands. If he handled them improperly, many people would die, and he, the escorting officer, would have to bear the consequences.

After all, the escort has fixed routes and rules. Not only is it required to arrive at the place of exile on time, but the survival rate of the prisoners must also be guaranteed. Too many deaths cannot occur.

"Bai Suzi, go check Su Zhenbei's body."

Zhou Fuan suddenly said something to Bai Suzi who was bandaging the officer next to him and gave him a meaningful look.

Bai Suzi naturally understood what Zhou Fuan meant.

Who is Su Zhenbei?

A young general of the Great Qi Dynasty and a talented military strategist.

Whether in terms of martial arts or wisdom, he is definitely the best in the Great Qi Dynasty.

With such a powerful brain left unused, what good ideas could a bunch of small officials like them come up with?

On the other side, Ji Tai frowned and looked at Lu Zan fiercely.

"What should we do next? Should we leave or defend?"

Lu Zan kept looking in the direction of the Su family.

"We brought nothing with us except horses and some basic living supplies. We still have 200 prisoners. If we stay here, aren't we just waiting to die?"

"It's so obvious, how could I not know it? I'm asking you what to do now, aren't I? Aren't you educated? Don't you always claim that you have a better brain than a rough guy like me?"

Ji Taiyi's face is full of you, a bear man, aren't you usually very capable? You have always been dissatisfied with me, you must show your real ability that makes me admire you, so that I can look down on you.

"It depends on how Zhou Fuan arranges it. He has a lot of people on his side."

Ji Tai followed Lu Zan's gaze and saw that it was the Su and Wang families.

For the first time ever, he gave Lu Zan an approving look.

Sure enough, he was smarter than him. Before the Su and Wang families got into trouble, they were the most powerful dukes and marquises in the capital. Whether it was Su Zhenbei or Wang Taifu, they were both the smartest people. Following them would never be wrong.

This was what his brother told him when he came out.

At the Su family, Wang Changlin was sitting on a rock, looking at Su Zhenbei in front of him. Su Zhenbei was sometimes awake and sometimes dizzy, but he looked much better than his father. It seemed that young people recovered faster.

"This is the topographic map my eldest brother asked me to get. Young Master Su, take a look. Which is the best way for us to proceed?"

Wang Changlin held up a bamboo hat covering the topographic map and showed it to Su Zhenbei.

"We are exiles. There is no Duke's Mansion or Imperial Tutor's Mansion."

Wang Changlin nodded hurriedly.

"Well, it was my mistake. Brother Zhenbei, what do you think we should do next?"

"I call you uncle and brother. Why do you call my son brother? Doesn't this confuse the generations?"

Su Chengyi next to him was unhappy.

His father, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Wang Taifu were sworn brothers, so he should be on good terms with Wang Changlin. Wang Changlin was also the Minister of Rites in charge of etiquette, so how could he not even address him properly?

"Zhenbei is also my father's disciple, so I should call him brother. Brother Chengyi, we can call each other brothers, there is no conflict."

Haha, listening to the scene of these men randomly claiming relatives, Su Mibao was laughing in his heart. The Wang family really knows how to deal with things, and is best at these social etiquette.

When you need someone, call him brother.

When there is no need for people, you can cross the river by folding the bridge and slip away.

"Based on the rain, road conditions and mountain terrain, we can't wait for the rain to stop and the water to go down in the mountains."

Su Zhenbei thought about what his younger sister had just said. Three days later, there will be another aftershock of the earth dragon turning over here.

As he climbed up the mountain, he observed carefully. Based on the terrain, he knew that the flat land where they were would be hit by the rocks that fell from the mountain, making it uninhabitable.

(Su Mibao naturally asked the rabbit to sense the danger.) In addition to this, there are some other things. Su Mibao told Su Zhenbei in time.

"According to this analysis, we can only go to the mountains and head north, right?"
