However, there were also people who received letters from relatives in Pingzhou, who described what happened in Pingzhou with extremely complicated and sighing expressions.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did arrive in Pingzhou early, and worked with local officials to arrange for the relocation of the people. He also had the riverbanks repaired... But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said... that the gods had appeared... and he also invited many local experts to intervene. The people living near the riverbanks... were reluctant to move at first, but then they heard that blood was gushing out of those rivers in broad daylight. It was really scary..."
"It's more than just blood. My second uncle on my mother's side wrote to me saying there are water ghosts harassing people! My second uncle's cousin's aunt saw it with her own eyes: a water ghost with long black hair and no face crawling out of the river, trying to drag people to their deaths!"
“…”
As everyone chatted, they became more curious about what was happening in Pingzhou.
How could this be a disaster? This is simply a demon causing trouble!
Unfortunately, I only received some letters and could not see the current situation of Pingzhou with my own eyes!
At this time, Pingzhou.
The sky is clear and there is no sign of rain.
The confidants who came with the prince were also a little anxious and angry. After all, there were less than twenty days left before the ninety-day deadline mentioned by Xiao Cunyu.
"Your Highness, what if it doesn't rain?"
Ying Huaiji looked at the sky, but he was not anxious: "It would be better if it didn't rain. You shouldn't ask such questions."
After hearing this, the confidant also panicked for a moment, remembering that this was a natural disaster. If the prince hoped for a natural disaster to happen, then he would be foolish and vicious.
"I also hope that all is well in Pingzhou, but Your Highness should also be fully prepared. You made such bold statements in the palace, and now you've rushed to Pingzhou just for a few words from Miss Xiao. If Miss Xiao's words are not true, Your Highness will be implicated..."
"If I am wrong, I will take the responsibility. I can afford the risk. How is Xiao Yingting's side going? Have you found anything unusual?" Ying Huaiji was indeed open-minded. He had no ambitions in the past, but was forced by the current situation. Now it is his responsibility to take on the responsibility of the world, but if there is someone else who can take on this responsibility, he would be happy to have some peace and quiet.
"General Xiao went to investigate the nearby mountains. The other day, he discovered that much of the iron ore used by the city's blacksmiths was secretly mined from the nearby mountains, yet there's no official record of this..."
If there were mineral veins in that mountain but they were not recorded in the county annals, that would be a big deal.
"Tell the defenders in the city to obey orders, intensify patrols, and not slack off. Send another team with my token to go to Lingcheng to mobilize troops. Anyone who disobeys orders will be arrested on the spot." The prince said immediately.
It would be best if there were no disasters, but I am afraid that when a disaster occurs, someone will take advantage of the chaos.
He came to Pingzhou not only with people, but also transferred a lot of food, silver and money from the national treasury. However, these things were transported in one by one by people disguised as merchant caravans to avoid alerting the enemy.
The subordinate immediately obeyed the order and left.
Nowadays, almost every household in Pingzhou City has made preparations for flooding. The repaired canals have been dredged and water has been released in advance. Almost all the people downstream have moved their belongings to the place where the government has resettled them.
Three days later, the sky, which had been bright and sunny, suddenly became gloomy, with lightning and thunder. Such weather was really unusual at this time of year, and the thunderbolts made people panic.
Torrential rain came pouring down and didn't stop for the whole day.
After a few days, the water level downstream was up to the neck.
Farmlands were destroyed and houses were washed away. Looking around, the water mixed with mud and grass was like a huge river, surging and undulating.
