Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1503

After the governor finished his speech, he personally took his attendants to distribute the disaster prevention leaflets that had been prepared in advance to the people.

The leaflets explain in detail the signs before an earthquake, emergency risk avoidance measures, and knowledge of self-rescue and mutual rescue after a disaster, aiming to raise people's awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation.

We didn’t dare to distribute it before because we were afraid that it would affect people’s hearts and cause unrest.

Someone suddenly realized, "No wonder the rats are not afraid of people in broad daylight and run around the streets in groups."

"I saw a snake a couple of days ago. I was wondering, aren't snakes sleeping in this winter?"

"Listen, cats and dogs in the city are barking. It's not like this normally! Oh, and my pigs haven't been willing to go into the pen lately."

"It looks like there really is an earthquake!"

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is so powerful that it can even predict earthquakes!"

Shi Anxia felt relieved. As long as people's hearts were not confused, the disaster would not be scary.

After handing out the leaflets at the foot of the city, the governor said loudly, "The court has also set up emergency granaries and shelters. If an earthquake really strikes, there is no need to panic. Believe that the court can protect the people's safety."

After saying this, he looked up at the princess on the city wall, illuminated by torches in the dark night.

But the princess nodded slightly and raised her hand to signal the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The city gates were wide open, no longer blocking people from entering or leaving.

I have said all the good and bad things I can think of. If there are still people who don’t believe this, there is nothing I can do.

There was indeed such a group of people who did not believe that the Imperial Observatory could predict earthquakes, and they left the city together and returned to Chang'an County.

Another group of people also left the city because they were worried about their parents or wives and children at home.

No matter what kind of person they were, they kowtowed and said goodbye to the princess on the city wall before leaving.

They prepared to walk back to Chang'an County in the wind and snow.

It was still the end of the Hai hour, and there was still about an hour left before the Chou hour. If we walked back like this, we should not have reached Chang'an County when the earthquake hit.

But they didn't know that the road was even more dangerous with flying rocks, trees and cracks in the ground. In the dark, this was a journey to death.

The soldiers defending the city could not help but persuade them again, "Everyone, no matter what the reason is, this journey is very difficult. Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to wait until dawn to see the results? If you go back now, you won't be able to help your family."

This persuaded some of the hesitant people.

In the end, only sixteen strong men embarked on the journey in the snow and wind for various reasons.

They didn’t know that this trip would mean no return.

Later, when many people talked about these 16 people who didn't listen to advice, they all sighed and lamented. They could have survived!

Yuncheng is safe.

At this moment, under the city tower of Yuncheng, the people were led by officials to an empty square with no houses or trees around to wait for the earthquake. It was safer this way.

More and more people gathered here.

On the city wall, Shi Anxia stood straight, but her hand was tightly held by Cen Yuan's big hand.

He asked, "Xia'er, are you scared?"

Shi Anxia bit her lip and nodded. She was afraid of separation, and even more afraid of life and death.

Cen Yuan wrapped her in his black cloak, held her in his arms, and shielded her from the raging wind and snow.
