Chapter 061 How about you sacrifice yourself?
Half an hour later, the disaster relief team set off, with Chiyan County as their next destination.
The five counties through which the main river of Qingyao Prefecture passes were severely affected.
Among them, the disaster situation is widespread in Qingyao County, Cuiping County and Luochuan County, with food shortages and lack of order.
Qin Zhaoqiong has already sent out his deputy general, personal guards and garrison troops, so it is not difficult to control the disaster.
Now that the dredging problem in Mingyan County downstream has been solved, it is completely reasonable to proceed to Chiyan County. After all, this was the plan from the beginning.
Just as the team was about to leave the city, there was a sudden commotion ahead.
A captain rode up to the center of the formation and said, "Your Highness, there's a young woman ahead. She claims her parents and brothers died in the flood, and she's begging for... a way to live."
The captain also knew that this was absurd, so he ordered his men to drive the woman away immediately. However, the woman rushed towards the horse like a madman, as if she was going to die on the spot.
He could have detained him by force, but considering His Highness's reputation, it would be better for her to make the decision. After all, it wouldn't take long to give the county magistrate a word of advice.
Qin Zhaoqiong's heart skipped a beat. No way, could it be that the Xuanji Guards would use such a clumsy means to sneak into the team?
"Your Highness, I am Xuanji Guard Yaoguang."
Qin Zhaoqiong: ...
The sound was transmitted through true Qi, and there was such a long distance between them. It really was the Xuanji Guard!
What was she thinking, letting her take in a refugee at will?
"Let's go and take a look."
On the way to the center of the formation, Qin Zhaoqiong secretly told Meng Jian and Zhao Yue on his left and right about this matter.
Meng Jian also had a strange look on his face. Couldn't the Xuanji Guard come up with a more reasonable method?
Actually, it’s not that easy to write.
I traveled with the disaster relief team all the way, and even if I couldn't remember their names, I became familiar with their faces.
At this time, no matter what identity you join in halfway, it is easy to attract too much attention.
Yinzhe is accustomed to being suspicious of everything, such as whether there are people with ulterior motives hiding in the disaster relief team.
After all, civilians don't need a large amount of weapons and armor. No matter where the things are, they will most likely point to those people in the end.
Since we knew that the disaster relief would pass through Mingyan County and Chiyan County, could we have already made arrangements?
Therefore, the person sent to Xuanji Guard needs an identity that will not attract too much attention, such as a weak and desperate orphan girl, rather than a spy arranged in advance by a princess.
Precisely because it is too absurd and straightforward, it is less likely to arouse suspicion.
Judging from the cleverness she showed in the flood discharge and dredging, I believe the princess will perform well in this scene.
"what to do!"
The "smart" Qin Zhaoqiong was a little flustered and couldn't think of a reasonable way to accept it for a while.
After all, according to her usual style, she would never let such a small matter affect the overall situation.
If someone dares to block the disaster relief team, it would be a good thing if he is not arrested and punished.
"Commander Meng, how about you sacrifice yourself?"
Meng Jian tightened the reins in his hands, "No, no, my dad will break my legs if he finds out!"
The Meng family has strict family traditions, and his father governs the family with military law.
If I knew that he took in an orphan girl before getting married, I would really break his legs.
Qin Zhaoyue curled his lips in disdain, "Tsk, daddy's boy."
"Who are you talking about?"
It is said that the best way to enhance friendship is to share secrets. After the black powder incident, the relationship between the few people has obviously improved, and they talk more casually.
"I'll talk to whoever speaks up."
The eldest princess stroked her forehead and looked towards her sixth sister on the left, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Zhao Yue..."
Qin Zhaoyue sighed deeply and said, "Okay, this terrible thing has happened to me again."
In the blink of an eye, many three-horse riders arrived in front of the formation.
A woman wearing coarse linen clothes and with disheveled hair was held on both sides by the imperial guards. When she saw them coming, she struggled to kneel down.
“Please, Your Highness, take me in!
My parents and brothers were all drowned in the flood and their home is gone. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and let me have a meal.
To help with flood control and disaster relief, I am willing to sacrifice my life, Your Highness!
Her heart-wrenching cries and screams, looking at her prostrating herself on the ground with her body shaking uncontrollably, were truly heartbreaking to hear.
All eyes were focused on the eldest princess in the middle, but the personal guards did not hold out much hope.
"Look up."
Before the eldest princess spoke, Qin Zhaoyue beside her spoke first.
The woman looked up in confusion, her unmade face stained with tears and wet with rain, she looked truly pitiful.
Qin Zhaoyue immediately lowered her body, her movements frivolous, her eyebrows raised, "You are quite pretty, how about this, stay by my side and be my maid."
This... the imperial guards in the front suddenly became a little agitated.
They were going there to provide disaster relief, not for a picnic, so how could they just take refugees in as maids?
But it was the Sixth Princess who spoke, so it's okay...
"Thank you, thank you..." The woman bowed quickly to express her gratitude.
After the farce, the eldest princess sternly ordered to set off immediately, and the sixth princess added another maid to her entourage, bringing the total number of maids to an exaggerated fourteen.
Yaoguang was only carrying a small bag. Qin Zhaoyue was impatient to talk to her and nodded at Suimo beside her, "Put it on the third carriage first."
"yes."
Qin Zhaoyue has a total of four carriages. He will definitely not let anyone get on his own carriage. The second carriage belongs to the Mo group for rest during their shifts, and the fourth carriage is used to store supplies. Only one carriage is left that is suitable.
The team had set off again. Yaoguang did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the carriage in small steps.
Qingfeng was driving the car. Seeing this, he extended his hand without thinking.
Yaoguang's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't stop moving, and reached out his hand in panic.
Qingfeng grabbed her arm and took her to the throne. "Go in and rest first."
"Thank you, brother."
"It's okay. Following the Sixth Princess... is good."
Yaoguang opened the curtain and what caught her eye was a huge figure, grinning foolishly when he saw her come in.
Yaoguang:?
Excluding her, is that excluding her?
In a teahouse two streets away, Yinzhe witnessed the entire process of Yaoguang being accepted, and sure enough, it was the Sixth Princess who showed up.
Originally, their mission was to secretly follow the two princesses and find out if anyone was plotting something in secret, but they didn't expect to encounter such a big case.
The force that dared to embezzle water control materials and secretly planned iron smelting for seven or eight years...Yinzhe was unable to do anything else.
"Send an urgent message back to the capital over eight hundred miles, requesting assistance."
"yes!"
