I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 414 Warning

As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

Even the emperor changed his face, "Are you serious?"

Ling Chu nodded heavily, "I have calculated this hexagram three times, and the result is the same. Your Majesty, there is only one hour before the dam collapses. The matter is urgent, and a decision should be made early."

Ling Chu forced herself to speak, regardless of everyone's reaction. After walking to the side and sitting down, she poured herself a cup of tea, then quickly took out a health medicine and swallowed a pill, and then took it with tea.

In order to calculate this hexagram, she almost lost half her life.

After the assassination, in order to make the next journey smoother, Ling Chu planned to predict good and bad luck. Who knew that this calculation was a sign of great misfortune.

But she didn't calculate the details. She calculated twice, and the hexagram was almost the same as the calculations along the way, and it was vague.

In order to accurately calculate what the great misfortune was, she used all her life's learning, and even used her own blood to perform a ritual to assist in the deduction.

Fortunately, the final result was clear, but when she saw the hexagram, she was shocked and fainted on the spot because she had spent too much energy.

Fortunately, she had foresight at the time and was sitting on the bed to deduce. After fainting, she fell on the bed.

After fainting, she had a dream.

In the dream, Yangqu County was just like now, with heavy rain. An hour later, the upstream embankment broke, and a huge flood broke out, flooding the entire Yangqu County.

The scene in the dream was horrible, the flood raged, the houses were destroyed and collapsed, the branches were uprooted, and the crops in the fields were all submerged. The defenseless people and poultry were washed away by the flood.

Although the emperor and the imperial guards were powerful in martial arts, they were powerless in the face of the huge flood, and only a few survived.

Yangqu County was flooded for a whole month before the flood receded.

After the disaster, Yangqu County was full of corpses, like a purgatory on earth.

Witnessing the tragedy in Yangqu County, Ling Chu finally woke up from the dream. This dream was not just a dream, but a warning from the hexagram.

After Ling Chu woke up, she did not dare to delay and came to report to the emperor immediately.

But she did not tell them about her dream. First, people might not believe a dream, and second, she was very weak now and had no energy to argue with them about the truth of the dream.

The emperor looked solemn. Ning Chuchu was seriously ill and had not much time left. He wanted to set off immediately to see her at Xuanqing Temple.

But Yangqu County would soon be submerged by the flood. If he left without caring, he would not be in danger. But if this matter was spread, he would definitely be scolded by the world, and it was not certain that the country he had worked so hard to win would be overthrown.

If he stayed to organize the evacuation of the people in Yangqu County, it would take a long time. One more day of delay would make Ning Chuchu's condition worse.

He did not know if he could catch up to see her. After missing her for many years, he finally found out that she was still alive. He really didn't want to lose her again. He owed her so much, and he hoped that he could make it up to her.

The emperor's face changed for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and ordered Eunuch An, "Bring out the map."

Eunuch An knew the emperor's dilemma very well, but he couldn't persuade anyone on this matter. He could only go and get the map immediately.

The matter was urgent, and the emperor immediately discussed it with Ning Chuyi and Pang Shou.

No one had ever been to Yangqu County. From the map, it was surrounded by water on three sides, and there was only a high mountain in the north.

Ning Chuyi and Pang Shou both suggested that everyone evacuate to the north.

The emperor's thoughts were the same as theirs. When he looked up and saw Ling Chu on the side, the emperor immediately said, "I wonder what the princess thinks?"

Ning Chuyi knew Ling Chu's ability, and he was not surprised at all that the emperor asked her opinion.

Commander Pang had been impressed by Ling Chu's ability along the way. At this moment, he just looked up at her silently without saying much.

Ling Chu had been listening quietly, glanced at the map, and took out the tortoise shell and copper coins to tell fortunes.

This time, the result came out quickly.

Seeing that her face was not very good, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "How is it?"

Ling Chu closed her eyes and said directly without beating around the bush, "Not good, tell me a fortune. But the north is our only chance of survival, and other directions will definitely lead to death."

The emperor's face was not very good, but this matter was imminent and there was no choice.

"In this case, immediately organize everyone in Yangqu County to evacuate to the north and go up the mountain."

Duke Ning frowned. He always felt that it was a bit of a joke to rely on fortune-telling to decide such a big thing. "Your Majesty, this matter... needs to be cautious."

If there is really a flood, the emperor's move will be a great benefactor to the entire Yangqu County. But if the dam did not break, the evacuation would cost a lot of money and labor, which would surely cause dissatisfaction among the people.

The emperor knew that if he was not careful, he would be scolded by the people, but this was a matter concerning the lives of the people of Yangqu County. Even if there was only a slight possibility, he had to do it.

Although Duke Ningguo did not believe that there would be a flood, he had no choice but to obey the emperor's decision.

Many imperial guards did not know that the flood was coming. Commander Pang immediately went out and ordered the imperial guards guarding the door, "Pass the order and let everyone come and gather immediately."

The imperial guards guarding the door had just heard the conversation inside. Knowing that the matter was urgent, in order to save time, they did not even take the stairs and jumped down from the second floor.

Soon, everyone gathered in the inn.

Time was passing by bit by bit, and we had to race against time to outrun the flood.

The emperor did not give a long speech. His face was serious and he announced in front of everyone, "Everyone, Yangqu County has been hit by heavy rain for several days, and many places in the county are flooded.

The water level of Honghu Lake upstream of Yangqu is rising rapidly, and the lake embankment is in danger and will collapse in an hour. I hereby order you to cooperate with Lord Ning and Commander Pang to evacuate the people of Yangqu County as quickly as possible, go north, and go to Daluo Mountain."

All the imperial guards were stunned by this.

They thought that Commander Pang was so anxious to gather everyone because the emperor wanted to set off immediately to Xuanqing Temple. Unexpectedly, a flood was coming.

Manager Qian and other staff of Tongfu Inn stood aside. When they heard that a flood was coming, their faces changed drastically.

A clerk frowned and looked out the door, blurting out, "The rainstorm has subsided very quickly, and it seems to be about to stop. The Honghu Lake should not burst its dam, right?"

The clerk's words were loud, and everyone present heard them.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked outside. The rainstorm was indeed much smaller.

The emperor subconsciously turned his head to look at Ling Chu.

Before the emperor opened his mouth, Ling Chu knew what he wanted to ask.

It's a pity that "the rain will not stop. It will get heavier in a quarter of an hour, and it will continue to rain for five days. The water level of Honghu Lake is already overloaded, and a dam burst is bound to happen.

This matter cannot be delayed, and you should evacuate immediately. Otherwise, once the flood comes, you will surely die."
