Chapter 174 (13)

When Xiangchen woke up again, the team had already entered Jianchuan City.

The three cities of Huai'an are Jianchuan City, Xiyuan City and Songyuan City, which were built along the river.

Huai'an is relatively close to the border. The Huai'an River, which surrounds three prosperous towns, is also called a moat by the people of Huai'an.

Jianchuan City is on the upper reaches of the river, and it is the town that suffered the least damage from the flood.

When Xiang Chen woke up, he found himself sitting on Yan Yan's lap, held in his arms, with his ear against his chest, and his hand covering the other ear.

Xiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, and various noisy voices came in from outside. Although his ears were covered, those voices could still be heard clearly.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die! My lord, save us!"

"Please, my lord, please give me some food."

"Do you have a doctor? My child is sick, woo woo woo, please do me a favor..."

"Let go! If you don't let me go, I will beat you! It doesn't matter if you are a soldier sent by the palace, even if the king of heaven comes, I will still dare to beat you!"

"Bah! What disaster relief team?! It must be another corrupt official who eats flesh and blood of ordinary people!"

"We kick them out!"

Screams, screams, cries, begging, rage, and many children's weak, heart-piercing cries were mixed together, creating a noisy scene.

Xiang Chen also heard the sound of someone scratching the carriage.

The car curtain of the carriage flickered, and Xiang Chen saw that a bloody and dirty hand stretched out.

Xiang Chen's heartstrings tensed.

Seeing that the hand missed the car curtain and was thrown behind, he was relieved.

Such a situation made him forget that he was still sitting in Fable's arms.

He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes complicated, "Are you going to build Sichuan City now?"

He dared not speak loudly for fear of being heard by people outside.

Xiang Chen has never been out of the palace, but he has envisioned the situation here before.

But no matter how much preparation he made, when he really came here, everything was much worse than he imagined. This is just coming in, and he has not seen the scene of being destroyed by the disaster.

Xiang Chen has courage and strategy, but Wei Zi never lets him touch government affairs. In the end, he is just a man imprisoned in a world. Children of the world.

Fortunately, the environment in the palace allowed him to develop a strong heart, and his ability to accept was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Ah."

In such an environment, Fable is still reading his book. Xiang Chen has read it before. It is a Buddhist scripture, which explains the rules and precepts, and the difficulty of the secular world. He can't understand it.

Fable's calm surprised Xiang Chen, like a god who looks at the world with indifference, noble and disdainful, calm and serene, but somewhat lacking in empathy.

Fable put down the book, put Xiang Chen aside from his lap, straightened his robes, "We'll be at the prefect's mansion soon, get ready."

Xiang Chen looked down at himself, it's good to wear the robes at night, just need to tidy up, a little unnatural, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

"Thanks for what?"

"...".

Xiang Chen blushed, "Thank you, uncle... for taking care of me on the way."

"Heh..." Fable laughed and said nothing.

The road from Jincheng to Taishou's Mansion was not damaged much.

After the carriage stopped, Xiang Chen heard Cao Wei's voice coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, get out of the car."

Xiang Chen glanced at Fable who was sitting motionless in the carriage, and got out of the carriage first. After he got off, he didn't have time to take a look at the situation here, and his sight around him was strictly blocked by a group of guards.

Two rows of guards stood beside the carriage, forming a formation to escort him, extending all the way to the gate of the prefect's mansion.

Blocked him from looking around, and others from seeing him.

Cao Wei: "It's too chaotic here, Your Majesty, please enter the mansion first."

Xiang Chen frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell for a while.

He glanced back at the carriage.

Fable does not mean to come down.

Thinking of his identity, it might be inconvenient to get out of the carriage with him.

Xiang Chen entered the mansion.

There is no one who is in charge of the prefect's mansion now.

A few days ago, the prefect was beaten to death by the rioters in Jianchuan City. His wife and children still live in the prefect's mansion, but they are all women and children, without the ability to make decisions.

In particular, they heard from the prefect that the disaster relief team came this time with General Wei and His Majesty.

The concubine's room and the children couldn't hide.

Before the flood, the eldest lady who was in charge of the backyard was a little crazy because she saw the prefect being beaten to death with her own eyes.

Nor did they come out to meet the disaster relief team according to the rules.

Xiangchen was taken to a courtyard. The courtyard was a bit small, but the environment was quiet and elegant, and there were everything that should be there.

It was Cao Wei who sent someone to clean it up.

After taking Xiangchen to the courtyard, Cao Wei reported the situation of the prefect's mansion to him, and then said: "The prefect's wife is not feeling well, and the others are concubines who have never seen the world and young children, so they cannot be thought out thoroughly. To entertain His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

For the next few days, Xiang Chen stayed in the carriage all the time. To be honest, he and Cao Wei were still a little stranger.

Xiang Chen shook his head, "It doesn't have to be like this, now is a special time, and disaster relief is the most important thing, now I want to go out to see the situation outside."

Cao Wei froze for a moment, perhaps he had offended His Majesty.

Because the cold-blooded and ruthless King Regent was influenced by the rumors in the team these days.

After reacting, he remembered what General Wei had explained.

Cao Wei shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I thought, Your Majesty should wait in the prefect's mansion first, and when I understand the situation outside, I will report to Your Majesty when I come back. Now that there is chaos outside, Your Majesty's daughter, I hope to cherish it."

Xiang Chen frowned, unwilling to waste time here.

But what Cao Wei said was also reasonable. Now he has no one available around him, and there is the hostile Wei Fangyao here. If he wants to do something wrong, he has no ability to protect himself.

Xiang Chen compromised, "Then Cao Jianshou should go quickly. After understanding, you must report everything to me in detail."

"As ordered."

Xiangchen was waiting in the mansion.

During the period, guards brought her luggage in, and the servant girl who was already in the prefect's mansion packed up his bedroom.

Just about to pack those bags.

Fable came in from the outside, behind his hands, dressed in a white robe, as warm as jade, "You go out first."

The servant girl raised her head and blushed, "Yes."

After the maid left, only Xiang Chen and Fable were left in the room.

Xiang Chen was sitting on a chair in the room. Before Fable came in, he was reading a military book.

The bedding was already laid on the bed, and his luggage was placed on the table.

Xiang Chen stood up, looked at Fable, not knowing what to say.

Having already entered Jianchuan City, Xiangchen couldn't calm down no matter what, and because he couldn't go out, he felt powerless and depressed.

 The next chapter will be updated in the middle of the night or tomorrow, don't wait, good night.
