Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 290: Earthquake in Xiliang

After rewarding Chen Lao and Chen Ruanruan, Xie Yanyan, Zhou Shaoyu and Zhang He stood on the city wall and looked towards Xiliang.

Zhang He said: "The Xiliang King has been hereditary for two generations. They are not as fierce and good at fighting as the Nu Kingdom, but -"

He thought for a while and came up with an adjective: cat-like royal family.

Xie Yanyan looked at him, not quite understanding what "like a cat" meant? Aren't cats synonymous with docile and harmless? Did they mean they were harbouring murderous intent?
Zhang He said: "Dogs are also animals, but if you raise them, they will recognize their owners and even be very loyal. Cats are very well-behaved when they have food and requests, but if someone else gives them food, they will recognize their owners again."

Cats cannot be faithful.

Xie Yanyan was just about to ask if all people in Xiliang were like this? Before he could ask, he saw a guard running over in a hurry.

The guard knelt down and reported: "Emperor Chen, Emperor Yan, Lord Zhang, there are rumors outside that they saw a huge, bright mushroom-like cloud in the sky. Everyone is talking about it and it is very weird."

Zhang He asked, "When did this happen?"

"Your Excellency, it was seen by the people in Jingchuan last night."

Zhang He asked him to explain in detail.

"They said they saw a gloomy sky yesterday, but suddenly a cloud with a very strange shape appeared on the horizon, like a giant mushroom."

"This cloud not only has a strange shape, but also a very special color, neither red nor purple, which is very different from the clouds I have seen before."

"At the same time, an old farmer in the northwest suburbs of Jingning County also discovered something strange. The sky in the west was very bright, just like daytime. Several farmers were working in the fields outside the suburbs when they suddenly saw a huge fireball bursting out from the ground in Xiliang."

"Sometimes there were red streaks in the sky, which looked like the northern lights hanging low in the sky, and sometimes there were blue lights, which looked like a low twilight."

Zhang He didn't know why.

Ask the guard to call the county magistrate to visit Duoduo.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Xie Yanyan and asked, "Does Emperor Yan think it's a good thing or a bad thing?"

Xie Yanyan's first thought was that if they were not superstitious, then it was most likely extreme weather, such as heavy rain, severe floods, or earthquakes.

She needs testing.

"Xiaomei, please help me check the following weather phenomena. What kind of disaster could it be?"

She told Xiaomei what the common people saw.

[Exchange successful. According to analysis of special weather phenomena, a high-level earthquake may occur.]

Earthquake! High level!

"Xiao Mei, do you have a seismometer? Detect the approximate direction of the earthquake."

[The latest earthquake detector in the 22nd century, which can measure the depth of the earthquake source and the magnitude of the earthquake... Do you want to exchange it? ]

“Confirm Exchange”

Xie Yanyan looked at the seismic detector in the space. She pulled Zhou Shaoyu and hurried back to their residence. She took out the seismic detector and set it up.

Detection.

In fact, the seismic detector is not 100% accurate, it can only roughly measure the direction from Xiliang and Guzang. Xiliang is the core of the earthquake, and Chang'an County, especially several counties bordering the former Nu Kingdom, will be affected.

The magnitude of the earthquake is still very large, reaching over 7, and the epicenter may be over .

Looking at the walls of the houses made of mud in front of us, they would probably be ruined if they shook a few times.

She said to Zhou Shaoyu: "Although Xiliang broke the agreement, the people are innocent. Should we still find a way to inform the people?"

Zhou Shaoyu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about it, leave it to me."

On that day, Zhou Shaoyu and a group of guards went to Xiliang together. Along the way, they kept reporting to government officials that Wu Wude, a member of the royal family of King Xiliang, had said that the people had seen strange phenomena in the sky and that a disaster was about to happen.

The people were advised to leave their houses quickly and build thatched huts in open areas to avoid the disaster. The Xiliang royal family quickly came out to refute the rumor, saying that someone had spread it and that it was not a disaster but a good omen.

Who has ever seen such a big mushroom cloud? It means good weather and good harvests. Such a big mushroom indicates that there will be no shortage of food and clothing...

Some of the common people believed in Emperor Chen, and some believed in the Xiliang royal family.

Many natural disasters cannot be avoided, but we can only reduce the losses and damage.

Zhou Shaoyu worked hard to publicize and mobilize the people to hide in safe places as soon as possible.

On the afternoon of the third day, he was gathering officials to issue orders when he suddenly felt dizzy.

I looked up and saw the dirt on the roof starting to fall down. My feet were a little unstable.

He shouted, "Run! To the open area!"

He also ran out. This man was skilled in martial arts and ran very fast. Those officials who wanted to save him were dragged away by him.

After leaving the hall, he shouted: Get out of the house quickly, the earth dragon is turning over!
Then there was a "boom", and the whole earth was shaking.

There were countless cracks in the ground, and something was even constantly surging up, hot and burning.

Wake up from doubt and regret from wailing.

Those who listened to him at first and went out to build their own huts were not in any serious trouble.

Those who chased after the Xiliang royal family almost all had their bones broken, their heads smashed and they lost their lives due to the collapsed buildings.

This earthquake was too big.

The obedient people of Chang'an County all escaped the earthquake, or at least did not die on the spot.

But the collapse of houses was also very serious.

Xie Yanyan witnessed the collapse of the house, but was powerless to do anything. The ground was cracked like this, and she couldn't rescue it openly even if she wanted to.

She could only ask Zhang He and his team to install various temporary tents and tell everyone to move in quickly.

We have entered the coldest time of the year, and the entire northwest is so cold that you will immediately become a stick if you urinate!
In Jingning County, the worst-hit area, Chen Chengyan and Chen Ruanruan were both busy at the scene.

Xie Yanyan called back Xie Yong and Kaleidoscope Yu Shanhe, and asked Bao Keke to go back quickly.

Xie Yong’s fiefdom, he must be present to rescue.

This is when he establishes his authority.

Xie Yong and Yu Shanhe, along with Zhang He and other officials, pitched tents and cooked together. Two meals were provided every day, and basically everyone could get two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and some vegetables.

Xie Yanyan called her 18-digit elder brother over as well: "It's time to cook noodles for everyone!"

Except for three young men, all the other eighteen men can cook and sell noodles.

Xie Yong invited all the doctors in Chang'an County to treat everyone's injuries. The doctors were paid silver per day, so their work was not in vain!

The Xiliang royal family was originally unhappy with Zhou Shaoyu's uninvited visit and wanted to send someone to assassinate him. However, before he left the palace, the night pearl hanging on the ceiling suddenly shook.

"Is it an earthquake? Run!"

Concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids were in a mess.

I don't know why the earthquake brought such huge rocks falling from the sky. The King of Xiliang and the Princess had just come out of the hall when a huge rock fell from the sky. What a coincidence, it crushed the Princess and the King of Xiliang to death.

The officials in the court rushed out. The huge rock seemed to have eyes, and the princess's husband was hit to death by the rock as soon as he walked out of the door!

The princess saw her husband was dead and cried loudly: "My husband, if you die, who will treat my heart disease in the future?"
