Chapter 154 The Dam Collapsed
After hearing what Xiao Shiliu said, Shaoyao and Rong Mama had no choice but to suppress their worries and sit back in the carriage to wait.
The exile team also followed from a distance. Because they had walked out of the low-lying area and were now heading towards the higher ground, their speed slowed down. When everyone reached the intersection, they heard something happen behind them. There was a "boom" sound, and then there were several screams that pierced the rain and fog.
Everyone turned around and looked down, and then they were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweats.
The embankment road on the river bank that they had just walked on was flooded.
"Miss!"
"Princess!"
Shaoyao and Rong Mama were lying in the carriage, and they were almost heartbroken when they saw this scene. They rushed down to save people regardless of the heavy rain outside.
The dam was destroyed, and the river water immediately rushed towards the low-lying area, and that low-lying area was where Prince Xiao and his entourage were still lagging behind their exile team.
The river burst its banks. Even if Prince Xiao is very powerful, can he resist such a flood with human power?
Xiao Shiliu grabbed Rong Mama with one hand and stopped Shaoyao with the other, and raised his voice a little, "Don't go over there, the prince and the others will be fine."
It was unclear whether the water on Shaoyao and Rong Mama's faces was rain or tears. Shaoyao was young and had an impatient personality. When she heard that Xiao Shiliu was still trying to fool people at this time and couldn't break free from his grip, she lowered her head and bit Xiao Shiliu's arm.
"hiss"--
The veins on Xiao Shiliu's forehead throbbed with pain, but he still didn't let go. He carried them back to the carriage, one in each hand. He said to them with a serious face and a serious tone, "Listen, if you want the prince and princess to escape safely, just stay here and wait. Don't go over and cause trouble. Otherwise, if anything happens to the prince and princess, you won't have anywhere to cry!"
Xiao Shiliu's words successfully frightened Shaoyao and Rong Mama. They stood there in shock, not knowing whether to cry or ask. After a long while, Rong Mama quietly asked Xiao Shiliu, "Shiliu, is it really... is it really that serious?"
Shaoyao also agreed, "As soon as I heard it, I felt it must be very dangerous."
Xiao Shiliu held his forehead with his hand. "Just stay here and relax. The prince and the princess have made preparations. Otherwise, as the prince's guard, how could I stand here so calmly?"
The two men were speechless for a moment and could only sit in the carriage, looking around and waiting anxiously.

"Master." Xiao Yi and Xiao Er shouted at the same time from the front and back of Su Wanyan's carriage. As their voices rang out, the dam on the river bank collapsed instantly and the river water poured out.
The guards walking along the river bank retreated at the same time, leaving only the carriage of Ji Xiaohan and Su Wanyan, and the carriage of Su Rongyan and the other two who were following not far behind. Then, amid the screams of Su Rongyan and the nanny, they were all swallowed up by the river.
Ji Xiaohan hugged Su Wanyan, stepped lightly, and quickly escaped from the carriage. They were very fast. While Su Wanyan was experiencing the feeling of flying in Ji Xiaohan's arms, she did not forget to take advantage of everyone's inattention and put her into the space before the river water completely submerged their carriage.
Horse-drawn carriages were an important means of transportation in ancient times. It would be a shame to waste them like this.
Su Wanyan was carried by Ji Xiaohan and flew to a tree not far away. Looking at Su Rongyan and the other two struggling in the water, she couldn't help but feel excited.
