Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!
Chapter 49: On the Road
Jiang Yue got out of the car and shone the headlights on the bodies.
Several corpses were eaten by wild beasts with only half of their bodies left. Their faces could be vaguely seen. One of them was actually Jiang Jinheng?
How could he be here? And when they separated, the three brothers and sisters of the eldest family ran away with a child.
Now that Jiang Jinheng appeared here, it meant that the others were not far away and they must have run away.
Tsk tsk tsk~~~
The first wife at least had a general and a former princess, but she actually ran away and abandoned her family.
We returned to the carriage and continued on our journey, and by the way, put the tiger's body into the space. The black bear had half of its body gone, so it was no use looking at it.
In the next few days, Jiang Yue and his servants found an uninhabited village during the day, built insulation, and continued their journey at night.
After leaving, they would place some food stored in ancient times in the villages they passed by, and fill the village jars with water for the refugees behind them.
When passing by Lai County, there were officials guarding the city gate, so I found an inn to stay in and asked about the situation.
Jiang Yue took out some small change and handed it to the waiter. "Young man, I want to ask, there seems to be no one on the county street here. Where have the people in the city gone?"
The waiter happily accepted the tip and bowed respectfully, "Sir, don't you know? The people of the Great Xia Dynasty are all migrating south, even the imperial palace has moved to Kyoto."
"This is already well-known, so I'm aware of it. But Lai County is close to the East China Sea, so it shouldn't be so empty. Isn't it better to be closer to the south? So many people have gone to the south?"
Jiang Yue asked while drinking herbal tea.
“Alas, our Lai County is not the closest to the East China Sea. There are two cities to the east.
I heard that the Donghai Prefecture City received an order half a month ago to build royal ships throughout the city, as if the emperor was going to go south.
Therefore, the people of the entire city and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty flocked to the south, and merchants ordered ships at high prices near Donghai City in advance, vowing to follow His Majesty to the death.
Although I already knew from the novel that the entire country of Daxia was relocated, it was a different feeling to see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears.
"Then why haven't you left yet?" Xiao Zhu continued.
The waiter sighed, "Our boss said that it's hot and dry everywhere right now.
The journey has been turbulent, so I thought I'd wait a little longer until the crowds on the East China Sea side have passed before leaving."
He gave some change to the waiter and the two of them went back to their room to rest.
Along the way, whether it was the official road or the small road, there were shadows of the people of Da Xia. The two of them had been driving for ten days and had seen a lot of life.
In one village, some merchants had a large number of guards following them, some were traveling alone, and there were even elderly people who were abandoned by their families and left to die in the village.
Jiang Yue was also helpless and could only deliver food and water to the villages as she passed by, and fill the ponds as she passed by.
Can the South really be safe in the face of natural disasters?
Jiang Yue didn't know that she could only enter her space for three hours a day, and Xiao Zhu couldn't be brought in.
If they cannot find a stable place to live, space will be useless when disaster strikes.
It is now impossible to go north or west. I heard from passing merchants that Kyoto has been burned by a raging fire. The weather is hot and there is no water to put out the fire, so the magnificent buildings have been destroyed.
Jiang Yue felt so sad when she heard it. Although it was just a book, it was also a witness to history!
It's such a pity that it was destroyed like this. And it's certain that not all the things in the palace were taken away. They were lost in the fire.
Alas~~~~
Now they can only follow the fleeing team.
It was also very hot in the inn during the day. Jiang Yue took out large ice cubes and turned on the fan continuously to keep the temperature in the room at around 35 degrees.
The two of them had ice cubes in their mouths and were lying next to them, feeling really comfortable.
The huge army of Emperor Mingde of Daxia formed a giant dragon along the official road, and the imperial guards and the Jinyiwei surrounded the royal family members.
The royal secret guards are stationed at the outermost perimeter to protect the safety of His Majesty, the Prince and the Princess.
In the middle is the magnificent dragon sedan chair pulled by six horses of Emperor Mingde, followed by the phoenix sedan chair of Empress Duan and the motorcade of the Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace.
Then came the carriages of the princesses and concubines, each with three carriages, and finally the motorcade of the princes, dukes and their families.
There were also carts full of supplies, gold, silver and jewelry.
Lined up behind them were the teams of ministers and their families, and finally the teams of academy students, merchants, and villagers.
The huge procession stretched for thirty miles, with great momentum and magnificent momentum.
"Your Majesty, Lai County is thirty miles ahead. Rest here at daybreak. There are still three hundred miles to go to Donghai Prefecture."
Zhang Jing, commander of the Imperial Guard, knelt down and asked for permission.
Emperor Mingde looked at the dark night sky outside. From afar, he could only see a long fire dragon that stretched as far as the eye could see. A majestic voice rang out from the dragon chariot.
"That's right!"
"Yes!" The Jinyiwei arranged for people to go to Lai County ahead to make arrangements and ensure that there would be no mistakes along the way.
Emperor Mingde had been on the road for half a month. Although the dragon chariot was spacious and could be used for sitting or lying down, it had everything he needed.
But it also makes one's back ache, feet unable to touch the ground, and one feels really uneasy.
Princess Yaochi sat in Concubine Liang's carriage for half a month and felt very uncomfortable.
"Yao'er, half a month has passed, and there is still no news of your sister?" Concubine Liang would ask about the whereabouts of Princess Yao Chi Jiang Yue every two days, and she would always give a disappointing answer.
"Mother, there's still no news. The secret guards said that after the officers escorting the fugitives were caught in an earthquake and then trampled by wild beasts, only a dozen or so survived.
These dozen people rode back to Kyoto at full speed, and were brought back by secret guards when they reported to the Dali Temple.
I personally interrogated them and the conclusion I got was that my sister's body was not found.
Later, people were sent to search for the two women along the way, but they could not find them.
It's strange, how did my cousin and her maid get into the city? They don't have a travel permit or household registration.
Don't worry, mother, my cousin is definitely still alive."
Concubine Liang's young face was stained with worry. "But, the weather is so hot now, people die from heatstroke every day. I'm worried that your sister...she will also get sick..."
In the past two months, someone in Kyoto has been falling ill with a strange disease every day and suddenly collapsing.
When the coroner opened the body for examination, he found that all the internal organs in the body were cooked and rotten.
No one could save her. Concubine Liang was terrified when she thought of Jiang Yue wandering outside.
After exchanging letters with the two, I learned that the royal family of King Liang, along with ministers and people, had fled to the southeast. Although the temperature was normal, they encountered floods along the way.
Now they are on the road again and cannot get in touch with Liang State, so Concubine Liang is also very worried.
Princess Yaochi took Concubine Liang's hand and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Although I've only been with my sister for one day, I can tell she's a smart and intelligent woman. She'll definitely be able to get through this natural disaster safely."
Aren't all the people of Daxia heading south now? Perhaps we'll meet soon."
