But no matter how they tried to control the carriage, they couldn't stabilize it. The carriage was knocked away by the birds and beasts, and they were all scattered in different directions, unable to gather together again.
The birds and beasts went berserk, constantly ramming their carriages. Some of the carriages driven by the guards, or the other horses, were all damaged or frightened and could not be controlled, heading towards the direction where Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were.
As the birds and beasts charged, Qi Guze and his guards were all separated and unable to travel together for the time being.
The birds and beasts continued to crowd their path, and Pei Xuan had no choice but to stop the carriage in a safe place nearby. There were many large trees blocking the way, so the birds and beasts would not rush there but would go in other directions.
Pei Xuan thus protected Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai, and now carefully guarded them with his weapon to prevent them from being attacked by other wild birds and beasts.
However, in the following period of time, although they were not attacked by other birds and beasts, suddenly the ground shook and a large flood rushed towards their location.
After Qi Guze and the others sensed what was happening, they quickly got out of the carriage and checked the surrounding situation.
They discovered that a huge flood was rushing towards them and was about to reach them.
Pei Xuan carefully stood guard beside them, observing the surrounding situation, and immediately became more vigilant.
"Your Highness, run that way in a bit! I'll protect you from behind!"
"You guys must not stop running, keep running in that direction!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze and the others quickly said, "You must be careful later, and make sure you don't get swept away by the flood."
He then shouted to the side, "We'll all meet up in the next town. If that town is also affected, we'll meet up in another town closer to Wuling Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, the scattered guards quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness!"
"We'll head to the next town to wait for the prince!"
"Your Highness, you must ensure your safety!"
As he said this, the guards were forced to break away and quickly headed for other safe places.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze held hands. Qi Guze used his lightness skill to hold Xu Yuehuai's waist and fly her up into the woods.
Standing on high ground, Qi Guze observed the safe direction and led Xu Yuehuai to retreat to a safe place.
Pei Xuan followed behind them the whole time, protecting their safety.
Everyone retreated towards safety, but suddenly a landslide occurred in the direction they were in, and a huge flood rushed down towards them.
Behind them was also a huge flood, and suddenly they were caught in a pincer movement with no other way to escape.
After discovering this, Qi Guze quickly picked up Xu Yuehuai and took her to a safe place.
"This area is safe, so you can stand on this boulder for now!"
After placing Xu Yuehuai on the boulder, Qi Guze used his own body to block the mudslide blowing from the side, trying to protect Xu Yuehuai from any harm.
When Pei Xuan saw this, he quickly ran to Qi Guze's side, blocking him and protecting him.
Together, they used their bodies to block the mudslides, but the mudslides contained a lot of weeds and rocks, which kept blowing against them, causing many wounds.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, she wanted them to stop immediately so that she wouldn't get hurt. She felt extremely guilty and didn't want them to protect her.
"You should find somewhere to hide quickly and stop blocking my way. I feel bad that you've been hurt so badly."
Qi Guze said to Xu Yuehuai, "Since I promised to protect you along the way, I will not let you get hurt no matter what happens."
Xu Yuehuai was deeply moved upon hearing this.
But she couldn't do anything else or help them. All she could do was stay put, not cause them any trouble, and not interfere with their other activities.
"But the mudslide is getting bigger and bigger. If you don't come up quickly, you will definitely be swept away."
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, he tried to pull the two of them up, but they were already deeply trapped in the mudslide and there was no way to pull them up.
The surrounding trees were all blown down, and the wind continued to carry them downstream, blowing all the buildings along with them.
Many villagers were also swept away by the mudslide to the middle of the road and rushed down to other places.
When Xu Yuehuai and the others saw this scene, they were in dire straits themselves, and even when they heard the cries for help from others, they were powerless to save them.
Seeing how serious the matter was, Qi Guze immediately realized the enormous impact this disaster would have.
Now that he is not in the court, he doesn't know what the Emperor of the Great Zhou will do. He might not be able to ensure the safety of these refugees and could cause them great harm.
Perhaps most of the disaster victims will die in the disaster, and perhaps even more of them will die as arranged by the imperial court.
When disasters strike, there may also be a plague.
If an epidemic breaks out, I don't know how these disaster victims will be taken care of.
Without someone skilled in curing the plague, the Great Zhou Kingdom might be affected by the plague, which could spread throughout the entire country. Not only would its own country be affected, but the other three great kingdoms might also be infected by the plague.
This matter is only just beginning, and Qi Guze is determined to nip it in the bud along the way, lest it become a plague.
If a plague breaks out, these people will be in danger, and many will likely die. This would affect the strength of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and other countries would surely secretly oppose them if they saw this.
