Chapter 56: Nightmare at Hour of Mao, Heavy Rain
There were rumbling thunder and heavy rain.
Shang Yuwan's black hair was scattered, revealing a pair of amber pupils between the hair strands. She bent her neck and lowered her head, staring blankly at the sharp arrow in her chest.
The arrowhead was stained with her blood and was quickly washed away by the rain.
She raised her arms tremblingly, and out from the long sleeves of her wedding dress came a pair of hands shaped like dead branches.
pain......
Shang Yuwan's eyes kept shaking left and right. She covered the arrow that pierced her chest with her hands, staggered a few steps, and knelt down.
It hurts... it hurts so much...
"Wan'er, you are a good child."
A low voice rang in his ears, and Shang Yuwan slowly straightened his neck, which had been still for a long time.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, rough and old skin, light stubble on both sides of the lips. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be over thirty years old. When this familiar face came into his eyes, Shang Yuwan's eyes gradually overflowed with tears of blood, which slid down his face, making him look hideous and terrifying.
Yue Zhu was wearing the uniform of the Longwu Army and holding a longbow tightly in his hand. His eyes showed reluctance, but compared with the cold armor and the corpses and blood on the ground, it seemed particularly ironic.
"It is difficult to disobey the divine command. This is God's will."
"Wan'er, don't blame Uncle Yue."
Shang Yuwan blinked and found that he was no longer in the Shang Mansion. What was reflected in his eyes were thousands of jade steps and countless jade buildings.
Beneath the majestic palace, all living beings are no different from ants, except for the red spot at the steps that is particularly bright.
She carried hatred throughout her life and never gave in until her death.
"Wan'er, don't blame Uncle Xiao."
The sound was as loud as a bell, striking Shang Yuwan's soul hard.
She raised her head high, staring straight at the bright yellow light in the sky and the blurry figures beside him.
The imperial edict was thrown in front of Shang Yuwan with great force. She didn't dare to look at it - it was stained with the blood and tears of everyone in the Shang family.
Every time she looked at him, her heart ached even more.
The man stood there, looking down at her condescendingly, "Shang Junhu colluded with Langjiang, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country..."
"You're lying."
Shang Yuwan finally spoke with difficulty, tears and blood in his eyes.
"It's obviously you, it's you..."
She slowly stood up and screamed heart-wrenchingly.
"It's obviously you who are damned!!!"
"Boom—"
Thunder roared, Shang Yuwan opened his eyes, his breathing paused at first, then he reacted and his tense heartstrings slowly relaxed a little.
"Little...sir!"
Twelve rushed in, his face and body soaked, with water droplets dripping from the tips of his hair.
Her breathing was a little rapid: "It's raining!"
Shang Yuwan had just woken up from a dream and had no time to slow down. He got out of bed, walked quickly forward, and reached out to open the window.
The lightning illuminated her still dazed face.
Raindrops fell from the sky like countless pearls, purple lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and the thunder rumbled, deafening, splitting the night sky in an instant.
rainstorm.
It rained heavily in Luzhou City!
Shang Yuwan turned around, grabbed his clothes, put them on as quickly as possible, and put on his double swords.
"What time is it?"
"At the hour of Mao. The princess has already taken people to investigate the situation. Song Pingsheng, Lu Heying and others are also here. The host and others..."
Shang Yuwan opened the door while listening to Twelve's words, and Xiao Qingxu came to find her with his men.
After a few glances, the two nodded to each other.
"Ji Suxian and Ju Gongcheng stay here, the rest of you follow me, quickly!"
Luzhou City had finally been calm a few days ago, but today it was suddenly hit by a rainstorm. Anyone could see that the situation was critical. Shang Yuwan gave an order and left.
Ji Suxian was dressed in a neat suit with a medicine box hanging around her waist. She grabbed Shang Yuwan's forearm the moment she was about to pass her.
"I'll go with you."
Before coming to find her, Ji Suxian left a lot of medicine for Xiao Qingxu, and Ju Gongcheng and the other guests were guarding him, so he would be fine.
Shang Yuwan didn't say anything more, "Let's go!"
The rainstorm came suddenly, and Shang Yuwan led them to rush over to find people as quickly as possible. Along the way, they saw many soldiers and civilians. If Xiao Qinggu had not arrived in time with his men, who knows how much panic would have been caused.
"Where is the person monitoring the water monument? Why didn't he ring the bell to sound the alarm?"
Ji Suxian followed closely behind her, "Louke hasn't found him yet. There was no sign of this rainstorm, I wonder if he..."
A tender pink figure appeared in Shang Yuwan's gloomy vision, "Your Highness!"
Song Pingsheng was busy somewhere else. Xiao Qinggu's voice was a little hoarse at this time. She was busy evacuating the people and rushing towards the northwest of the city. When she saw an old woman accidentally fall, she hurried forward to help her.
"Are you okay? Can you move?"
The old woman nodded and thanked him repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Thank you, Princess, thank you..."
"I should do what I should do. Come on! Carry the old man over!"
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Qinggu heard Shang Yuwan's voice and turned around: "You've come just in time! You're good at martial arts, go find someone in the south and east of the city!"
Seeing Luzhou City peaceful and stable, some residents believed the flood was almost over. Many ignored official warnings and, without the knowledge of patrol officers, headed southeast to Luzhou City to search for valuables they had lost in the flood. Now, with the sudden onset of heavy rain, Cheng Yishui and Lu Heying had been leading the guests to search for them for a short while, but they were still missing.
"Alright! Princess, you stay here and talk to the people. Leave the search to us!"
"You have to protect yourselves too!"
Xiao Qinggu shouted at the backs of Shang Yuwan and the others as they left, "Especially you! Shang Yuwan!"
Shang Yuwan asked Ji Suxian to stay and check if anyone needed first aid, and took the others to the direction where the flood was up to their waists.
"Don't spread out too much, look out for each other, and send one back when you find one! Don't delay!"
"yes!"
Calculating the time, it should have been daylight by this time in the past, but it was still dark, and the rain was getting heavier, making it even more difficult for Shang Yuwan and the others to find people.
While searching for someone, Shang Yuwan bumped into the guests Cheng Yishui had brought with him and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Cheng Yishui and the deputy host?"
"I have never met the deputy building owner. Brother Cheng handed the child to me and went deeper!"
Lou Ke carried the child and used his other hand to point in a direction. Upon hearing that, Shang Yuwan immediately sped up and ran over.
Twelve turned his head and could no longer see Shang Yuwan. He panicked and grabbed a guest and asked, "Where is she?!"
"No, I don't know." Lou Ke hurriedly shook his head. He was busy looking for refugees, so how could he pay attention to Shang Yuwan, whose martial arts skills were even better than theirs.
Twelve's eyes twisted for a moment.
On the other side, Xiao Qingxu stared at the sand table and rubbed his brows, then turned around, sat down and picked up a pen to write a letter.
"Send this letter to the nearby Jingcheng and other cities, and have their city lords personally open it and ask them to send people to help!"
"Where are the medicines? Take them out and distribute them."
"OP, those are what Sister Su Xian left for you..."
"Stop talking nonsense and bring out everything you can. How many doctors are there in the city?"
"More than a dozen."
"Go find a doctor. Jingcheng is the closest to us. Go to Jingcheng to get someone. Go now!"
Xiao Qingxu looked out the window at the heavy rain that was getting heavier, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"cough--!"
Ju Gongcheng had just handed the written letter to the errand boy when he turned around and saw Xiao Qingxu covering his mask with blood leaking from the gap between the mask and his chin.
His eyes widened: "OP!!!"
