Chapter 398 Going to Nanshui County
"But Miss Su has only one main road leading to Nanshui County. The others are small roads that carriages cannot pass through."
"I haven't received any news from Nanshui County in the past two days. It seems that this road is blocked."
"I will send all the people from the government office over here to dig the road. Miss Su, why don't we go back to Nanling Prefecture first?" Gongyang Ruoyu said.
Just when Su Yueyao was about to say something, a muffled thunder was heard from the sky.
"Ayao, get in the carriage quickly." Yang Qianxun picked up Su Yueyao and carried her into the carriage the moment he saw her.
"Yuqi, didn't you prepare the straw raincoat in advance? Tell Fifteen where you put it for our people in the dark." Su Yueyao said immediately.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
I haven't even put on my clothes yet, but heavy rain has already started to fall.
By the time Pei Yuqi had arranged to get into the carriage, her clothes were already a little wet.
Su Yueyao took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, saying, "Hurry up and wipe it and change your coat."
"My dear wife, I'm fine. Just a little bit of water got on my coat. I'm holding an oil-paper umbrella!"
"That's fine. It seems that it's impossible for us to go back now." Su Yueyao opened the car window a little and looked at the heavy rain outside and said with some concern.
"Have you arranged everything for the others? Have you put on your raincoats?"
"Before I got on the carriage, I saw they were making arrangements," Pei Yuqi said.
At this time there was a sound outside.
"Ms. Su, Inspector Pu and I have something to discuss with you. Can we go into the carriage and talk?"
Su Yueyao looked through the car window and saw two people holding oil-paper umbrellas in the heavy rain and said, "Come on up!"
"Fifteen opens the car door."
"Okay lady."
Su Yueyao asked everyone else to sit on the couch, leaving two seats empty.
Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu Xuncha came in and sat down. The carriage, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly seemed crowded.
"Ms. Su, I didn't finish what I was saying just now. The weather is so bad now that it is even more unsafe to take the small road to Nanshui County. Should we set off back to Nanling Prefecture?" Gongyang Ruoyu said.
Su Yueyao didn't say anything and looked at Inspector Pu who was also silent.
"Inspector Pu, do you plan to go back?"
"Ms. Su, I don't plan to go back. I plan to leave for Nanshui County once the rain stops."
"Your Excellency the Prefect, Inspector Pu's meaning is exactly what I mean."
"If it hadn't rained, we would still have time to go back. Now we have to go even if the road is difficult to travel. Nanshui County is at risk of a dike breach. Now that the imperial court has arrived, the people of Nanshui County will have hope and will defend the dike to the death."
"Otherwise, all the downstream counties under Nanshui County will suffer." Su Yueyao said with a sigh.
"How can Miss Su be sure that there is a risk of dam breach in Nanshui County?"
"Because when I came to Nanling Prefecture, my people paid attention to the situation in various counties, but there was no news from Nanshui County in the past two days. This is my Pei Cejun. He also has business in Nanshui County and has not received any news."
"If this road is blocked, it will affect some people who report the news, but my people will come from the side road and pass the news to me. If they don't, it can only mean that they have encountered trouble and cannot pass on the news."
"So, Prefect, I will find a suitable path to Nanshui County with Inspector Pu. You need to go back to Nanling Prefecture and bring people here. The first step is to dig the road. Regardless of whether the Nanshui County dam is damaged or not, the road communication must be restored. Secondly, prepare the corresponding materials and arrange the personnel to enter Nanshui County at any time."
"I understand. I will arrange for people to go through the mountains and forests to investigate the situation in Nanshui County."
"The secret guards behind me have already gone to investigate. I think they will get the news."
After Su Yueyao finished speaking, Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu An looked at Su Yueyao with admiration. They did not expect a woman to be so calm and able to think of countermeasures so quickly.
"Madam, our people have received news that the water level in Nanshui County has been rising. The county magistrate and the people are blocking the dike, and we don't know how long they can hold out." At this time, Fifteen's voice came from outside the door.
"Are there any people coming this way on the road?"
"Some of them are blocked by the big rock in front."
"Fifteen, go and invite Envoy Nanwei and Adjutant Yan over."
"Subordinate, go right away."
"Miss Su, I will send someone to notify the government office to send someone over." Gong Yang Ruoyu looked very cautious.
"It's too late, but we still have to go back and arrange for people to come. If the dam breaks, we will need manpower to rescue the people."
Gongyang Ruoyu got off the carriage directly and arranged for someone to call people over.
"Ms. Su." Nanfeng and Adjutant Yan stood by the car window wearing straw raincoats.
"You two, there is a risk of a dam breach in Nanshui County. You should take Inspector Pu and ride on horseback to Nanshui County to help first. I will be there soon."
"Ms. Su, we have been ordered to protect you." Nanfeng said.
"I have people around me. If the dike in Nanshui County cannot be blocked, it will be dangerous for me to go there. Either obey the order or leave. Inspector Pu is appointed by His Majesty to control the flood. If he arrives at this time, the people's hearts will be reassured and the dike may be defended." Su Yueyao said in a stern tone.
"Yan Mou follows the order and ensures that Inspector Pu is safely delivered to Nanshui County." Adjutant Yan said.
Nanfeng also knew that it was urgent, but Su Yueyao could not get into trouble.
"I can go, but Lady Su must go back to Nanling Prefecture."
"I see."
"Inspector Pu, I originally wanted to go through the mountains and forests with you, but Nanshui County can't wait any longer. You go with the imperial guards first, and I will follow soon. The people of Nanshui County depend on you." Su Yueyao said to Inspector Pu.
"This is my duty. I will definitely defend the dam!" Inspector Pu said in a firm tone and got off the carriage.
Afterwards, the Imperial Guards, Fengyu Guards and Patrol Officer Pu simply wore straw raincoats and rode on horses and disappeared into the rain.
"Fifteen, does anyone among us know a way to quickly walk to Nanshui County?" Su Yueyao asked.
"With the forest in front of us, it will only be half an hour slower than riding a horse. However, the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on and too dense. Lightness skills can only be used as an aid. Moreover, it is raining now, and the muddy mountain roads will probably make it even more difficult to walk on." Fifteen said.
"Didn't A-Yao just promise Nan Feng to return to Nanling Prefecture?"
"How could I promise him anything? I just said, I understand, I have to go to Nanshui County."
"But your body can't stand the bumps, and it's really difficult to walk on the mountain road." Yang Qianxun said.
"My dear wife, are you afraid of snakes?" Huan Yanxi asked softly.
Su Yueyao didn't know what to say when asked by Huan Yanxi.
"I have a python in the mountain ahead. I can call it over and have it carry my wife away." Huan Yanxi sat next to Su Yueyao and pointed to the mountain not far away.
