The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 240 Golden Light in the Dark Night
The spiritual power swept through, and on the way to the next village, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Old man, you also take action."

"Old slave..." Duke Zheng was about to refuse, but when he saw the look in His Majesty's eyes, he stopped.

Well, just be careful.

In response, the two powerful men acted together at a much faster speed, and one village after another, the people who were still alive and trapped under the rubble were rescued.

After all, there are not many people in a village, usually just a few dozen households, or at most one or two hundred households.

In fact, what the victims in these villages need most at this time is food, warmth and confidence.

Therefore, whenever Zhu Houzhao arrived at a village, he would directly tell the villagers about his identity and the subsequent food, clothing, etc.

After about an hour, Zhu Houzhao, moving forward in a straight line, arrived at Jinzhou City.

After one glance, his body stiffened.

"Mom~! Mom, Dad, where are you?"

"Dog, Dad will definitely come to rescue you. Wait a little longer, Dad will dig you out."

"My wife, my son~!"

"Why, God?"

····
The walls on three sides of Jinzhou City have collapsed, and the city is full of ruins, with almost no intact buildings.

Looking around, all I saw was ruins.

There were constant cries of grief, but more often than not, people were numb, wearing thin clothes in the freezing cold.

An atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire ruined city.

The situation here is much more serious than those villages.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, let go of Cheng Lingsu and let her go about her business, then he spoke.

The sound was no longer as loud as thunder, but firm, powerful, yet not too loud, and just echoed over Jinzhou City.

"People of Jinzhou, I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, and I am here."

The firm voice and the figure that began to emit golden light immediately attracted the attention of the living people, and they looked up at the sky.

Gradually, everyone looked towards the sky above the ruins of the northern city gate, where a figure radiated golden light and looked like that of a god.

Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao!

No matter whether one is a knowledgeable person or an ordinary citizen, no one is unfamiliar with this identity and name.

Because in the past three years or so, Emperor Shengwu has done so many things.

The news was also passed on to their ears by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Moreover, over the past three years, their lives have been getting better little by little and they can now breathe a sigh of relief.

With the constant propaganda of the Jinyiwei, they knew who brought this.

The emperor is coming!

Almost everyone looked up in disbelief.

"I have come to save you, don't worry, and don't despair.

I promise you that I will never abandon any of the Ming people.

I will accompany you and go through this disaster together.

Now, for those of you who are still alive, I hope you can take action and help those in need.

Lift all the injured together and someone will help them with treatment.

The officials who were still alive in Jinzhou City immediately began to organize and help the people. "

It was like a magical voice that penetrated every corner and could be heard clearly by everyone, including those under the ruins.

Most people still couldn't believe it and stared blankly at the godlike figure.

But after hearing that voice, they felt inexplicably at peace.

Some people, on the other hand, looked excited, as if they had come back to life.

Zhu Houzhao said nothing more. He raised his hand and shot out two dragon balls, which flew to the center of the city. The dragon balls shone brightly with golden light and emitted heat.

The cold winds were blocked and the temperature in Jinzhou City began to rise.

The warm breath made all the people feel refreshed.

Zhu Houzhao began to rescue people.

He stretched out his hand and threw some ruins out of the city, making a loud noise.

Soon, a figure buried underneath was gently dragged up by Zhu Houzhao and brought to Cheng Lingsu.

Then start the next one.

Zhu Houzhao stood in the air, radiating golden light all over his body. He used his true energy to move away one ruin after another and rescued one buried person after another.

However, although he tried very hard, his speed was still much slower than when he was in the village.

Because the houses in the city are mostly made of bricks, tiles and stones, unlike the villages which are mainly made of thatch.

The people who are trapped under the rubble of stones, bricks, tiles and wood are likely to suffer secondary injuries or even direct death if the rubble is moved on a large scale.

Zhu Houzhao could only take it slowly, which was too tiring.

But he still did not go down, but stood in the air to save people. When Zhu Houzhao rescued the second person, the people who were still alive in Jinzhou City gradually came to their senses and began to boil.

"It's the Emperor, it's really the Shengwu Emperor! The Emperor has come to save us."

"The emperor has come to save us, everyone hold on."

"Dog, did you hear that? The emperor has come to save us. The emperor is a god who can fly and has a treasure to keep everyone warm. You hold on."

"The Emperor Shengwu is here. The Emperor Shengwu is here to save us. Hurry up, everyone, work hard and save people."

"I am a government clerk, everyone obeys my command..."

·····
There were more and more excited cries, like those of someone being rescued from drowning.

Little by little, it gradually enveloped the entire city.

More and more people, looking at the figure who seemed to be saving people from heaven, gradually came back to life.

They climbed up one by one, as if they were looking at faith and gods, and began to join the rescue team.

More and more, more and more.

This ruined city came back to life, and the atmosphere of despair mostly disappeared.

Zhu Houzhao kept watching and smiled.

He knew that nothing could defeat the Ming people.

Grit your teeth and continue saving people.

Duke Zheng looked at the living scene in the city with a dazed look in his eyes, feeling complicated.

He had seen the scene after an earthquake.

Perhaps, it can only be described as hell on earth.

And now...

Your Majesty Taizong, I am increasingly convinced that Your Majesty can far surpass you and Emperor Taizu.

He used his true energy to help save people without making any noise.

But he still saved his effort.

He is always aware of his most important responsibility.

The busy Cheng Lingsu took advantage of the brief moment of free time to simply treat the next person's injuries and couldn't help but look up at the golden figure again.

There is such obsession in those bright big eyes.

About three quarters of an hour later, Zhu Wusi and Yan Nantian, who did not bring anyone with them, arrived at Jinzhou City first.

There were no extra words. He saved people while presiding over the overall situation and bringing out the power of the people to a greater extent.

Another quarter of an hour later, Wang Zhi and Cao Youxiang arrived and joined the rescue operation.

With two more doctors, plus the remaining doctors in the city, Cheng Lingsu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Winter nights always get dark early. As the sky gradually darkened, the rescue continued.

Zhu Houzhao was still standing high in the sky, the golden light on his body became brighter, and together with the light of the dragon ball, it illuminated the night sky of Jinzhou City.

It provides a ray of light in this endless night.

The living people in Jinzhou City, including those who are still alive buried in the darkness of the ruins, will never forget this dark night.

I can't forget that godlike figure.

More than an hour after dark, rescue from Zhending finally arrived.

This was all thanks to Zhu Wusi who went back and took action to open up a passage.

Some food, bedding and clothes were sent over.

More than 500 young and strong people joined the rescue without saying a word.

That night, the golden light never went out, and the rescue efforts never stopped.

at the same time.

On the road from the capital to Jinzhou.

Even in the dark night, Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders showed no intention of stopping.

The more than 6,000 dragon riders in the lead each had three horses, and each horse was the best war horse. They could carry people for 600 miles in one day and one night.

As for people.

After more than three years of training and polishing, no one except Zhu Houzhao knows how far the Invincible Dragon Rider has reached.

From day to night, no one stopped, and they ate and drank water while galloping on horseback.

The whistling cold wind that blew towards them seemed to be melted by their amazing energy and blood.

Their eyes were filled with high morale and they looked straight ahead.

It seemed that everything in front of them would be trampled flat by them.

Because ahead, their Majesty is waiting for them.

(I owed you a chapter yesterday, which is 600 words short. I will make it up tomorrow. The weather is really uncomfortable, with hot and cold, and the cold is even more uncomfortable.)
