MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 417 To gain time
The people originally didn't want to pay attention to Ling Chu's words. After all, so far, none of them knew whether the flood was really coming.
And they were all already on their way very hard.
Hearing the words of Ning Chuyi and the imperial guards, and seeing them brandishing their swords with murderous looks on their faces, I was afraid that they would really kill them. He could only run forward with a look of horror.
The person in front ran away, and the people behind could only run after them panting.
The Imperial Guards kept urging, but there were so many people in the team that they couldn't run very fast at all.
Young and middle-aged people are better off, but those old people and children can't run very far.
Ning Chuyi glanced around with a cold expression, and could only order all the forbidden troops to put the young children on their horses and send them away first.
The emperor also agreed with Ning Chuyi's order and immediately ordered all the imperial troops to comply with it.
This decision immediately won the gratitude of many people. After all, to protect the children at home is to help them protect the family's incense.
Such a kind act helped dissipate the resentment in the hearts of these people who were forced to flee their homes.
No one cursed secretly anymore, and they all ran forward with all their strength.
As for Ning Chuyi not letting the imperial army bring the elderly, everyone can understand. After all, everyone knows that there are too many people fleeing and horses are limited.
It is already a great kindness to be able to help them rescue those children.
Even those old people who were reluctant to leave could no longer complain and just gritted their teeth and hurried on.
It is a great misfortune to be forced to leave home and flee for one's life in the coldest month of winter. But God was still trying to make things difficult for everyone, and it started raining heavily again in a blink of an eye.
Some people couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
But more people were too tired to speak, so they could only run as hard as they could, dragging heavy footsteps against the wind and rain.
Lingchu, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, rode beside the team and looked at the people stumbling for their lives with cold eyes, indifferent. She didn't lead people on her horse to escape, nor used magic to shield everyone from the wind and rain.
It’s not that she is cold-blooded.
She is neither a **** nor a fairy. Although there is a system, the energy is not infinite. A lot has been consumed along the way, and not much is left now.
She didn’t want to waste what little energy she had left on sheltering herself from the wind and rain.
Seeing a man running and suddenly stopping, Ling Chu immediately took out the bodhi whip and whipped him, "If you don't want to die, keep running. Don't stop."
The sound of whipping was heard, and the man took a few steps back in panic, raised his head and glared at her fiercely. Subconsciously I wanted to yell angrily.
But at this moment, a terrifying roar came from behind.
The man turned his head and looked.
Behind them, right where they left, the monstrous flood was like an angry and roaring beast chasing everyone.
The man was immediately frightened out of his wits and stopped cursing. He quickly turned around and ran forward, "The flood is coming, run away..."
Hearing the man's shout, everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon heard a loud noise behind them.
They couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
At this sight, everyone's expressions changed.
Honghu Lake really burst its banks.
Wherever the flood passed, houses collapsed and countless things were washed away.
I saw some people were so scared that they ran forward desperately, and some people were so scared that their hands and feet were shaking.
Lingchu took a deep breath, picked up the gong and struck it suddenly, "Don't stop, run away."
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up...don't stop, you won't die if you go up Mount Daluo."
The loud sound of the gong and Ling Chu's words finally aroused the desire of those people to escape, and they staggered forward again.
Even though they wanted to escape, many people still had weak legs and feet and could not run fast as they thought of the floods chasing after them.
Fortunately, the imperial guards who had left with the children rushed back on their fast horses. Without saying a word, they quickly pulled those who couldn't run onto their horses, one in front of them and one behind them, and then rode on without stopping.
The rest of the people looked at it and were filled with dissatisfaction. But he didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and run for his life. Many people were running so hard that they were panting, their shoes had long since disappeared, and their chests were so tight that they felt like they were about to explode.
But hearing the roaring and roaring of the floodwaters getting closer and closer, no one dared to stop.
Even Ning Chuyi's face darkened. Seeing that the emperor was still riding a horse to accompany the fleeing people, he could only urge him. "Your Majesty, it's time to go."
Those who ran fast can no longer be seen. If those people in front hold on a little longer, they will be out of danger.
The remaining people who can't run fast are the old and infirm. If they can't escape the fate of being drowned, it's God's will.
They have done their best and have a clear conscience.
“Commander Pang, take the emperor away.” Ning Chuyi hurriedly explained, turning around to remind Ling Chu to follow.
I didn’t want to see this, and my pupils shrank.
The moment he turned around, Ling Chu was no longer in his original position.
She did not leave, but turned back and rode her horse to face the rushing flood.
Drive!
At that moment, Ning Chuyi only had that slender figure in her mind.
Hitting the horse's belly with his legs, his hooves flew through the snow.
"Sir..." Seeing Ning Chuyi chasing Ling Chu as if he didn't care about his life, Yin Sha and Wei Feng's expressions changed in shock.
Lingchu heard the sound of horse hooves behind her, and also heard Ning Chuyi's shout for her to go back.
But she did not stop, nor did she look back.
The flood is getting closer and there is no time. Seeing that she was getting closer to Daluo Mountain, she had to buy some time for everyone, otherwise many people would die.
Drive!
Ling Chu was cruel and whipped the horse on its back.
When the sitting horse jumped forward again, she waved her hand and summoned a shovel and a small hammer.
With a quick pinch, the energy from the system is drawn out and directed to the big shovel and small hammer.
With the rapid changes in the techniques in his hands, the big shovel and small hammer hanging in the air quickly grew bigger, bigger, and bigger again.
Until the limit.
Ling Chucai shouted loudly, "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shovel and the small hammer, which had grown countless times in size, made a buzzing sound and rushed forward quickly.
The surging floodwater hit the big shovel and small hammer, made a huge roar, and flowed towards both sides.
Yin Sha and Wei Feng, who were rushing over, were immediately overjoyed.
Ning Chuyi stopped his horse three feet away from Lingchu.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to step forward, but that Ling Chu is casting a spell and cannot be interrupted at will.
Ning Chuyi's face was tense. He was not as optimistic as Yin Sha and Wei Feng.
Although the first big wave was blocked by the big shovel and the small hammer, the following big waves continued to come.
Seeing the second big wave hit the big shovel and small hammer, Ling Chu swayed.
Ning Chuyi suddenly turned his head, activated his internal energy, and roared towards the people who had stopped halfway and were happily watching Ling Chu cast a spell, "If you don't want to die, get out!"
She was using her life to buy time for everyone, but those idiots stopped to watch the fun.
If he wasn't worried about Ling Chu, Ning Chuyi would have turned around and picked up his sword to chop them all down.
