Chapter 168: Gratitude to the Emperor for Protecting the Cit

also decided to temporarily give up. 。Ye Wenyan was right, they were going to leave Lin'an. The best thing before leaving was for Lin'an to maintain the status quo. 。As the guests exited the Yan Huá..."Second Brother cut her throat" Ye Wen inquired, catching up to Ye Fei Zhou, "Wouldn't her head be severed in a moment" Ye Fei Zhou shook his head, "It wasn't that serious. Just a scratch, a reminder for her." 。If I were to shed blood at this juncture due to human folly, I wouldn't mind. However, people would criticize you for it. 。" People have always been obsessed with me, haven't they What's one more" "Then I shall go fetch her head" "I was just kidding, Second Brother. Don't take it seriously." 。Let her rant, I've been called worse for years, witch, demoness, vixen... I'm used to it. 。Night Flying Boat actually wanted to ask her what happened at the palace banquet last night. He had been kept in Qihua Pavilion the whole time and didn't know what was going on outside. But just now, he heard that the banquet hall collapsed and someone got their leg broken. Could it be that the earth dragon flipped over last night But there was no feeling at home Could it be that the earth dragon only flipped its body in the palace banquet hall 。And what does it mean to dance in the fire Who could possibly dance in a fire These things Night Fei Zhou didn't know, but Night Chu Lian knew them very well. 。She couldn't understand why some people had broken legs, while someone like her, who was completely defenseless, remained unharmed. She only suffered torn clothes and the loss of an earring. 。"Fourth, are we just wandering around the streets Do we have a destination in mind" Ye Fei Zhou asked. 。Ye Wen then replied, "If we have a target, we should go to Lin'an Prefecture first." 。The inner city order is still manageable for now, but the outer city must have descended into chaos. Only after ensuring that the government office is still intact can we spare manpower to maintain order in the outer city. 。"Finish and then go to the Jiang family, if there’s nothing wrong with them, that's good. If something happens, immediately come to the Lin'an Prefecture Government office to find me." 。"

Jiè Dúlìng had taken command, she glanced at Yè Fēizhou, and then instructed Jì Róng: "You go to the Xiao family" 。"

Ji Rong naturally obeyed orders, but Ye Fei Zhou was taken aback and asked, "Why go to the Xiao family"

Ye Wen said, "The Xiao family is the second brother's maternal family. There are relatives of yours there. Don't you want me to send people to take a look"

Ye Fei Zhou shook his head, "Never thought about it, or maybe I haven't been close to the Xiao family for many years, and most of the time I can't even remember that such a relative exists." " 。I entered the martial arts world since I was young. When I returned, I was already a young man. I haven't been to the Xiao family many times. 。The only time I remember meeting this relative was when I was very young. The most vivid memory I have is of my grandmother holding her, overjoyed, but then she turned to my father and mother in front of me and said, "You are the second branch of the Ye family. Having sons is useless for you." 。Only if she gives birth to another beautiful girl like Hong Zhuang can there be further hope for the future. 。Yè Wēn Yán remembered the Elder Mrs. Xiao she had seen at the palace banquet, and indeed, she seemed very close to Ye Hóng Zhuāng. 。After all, they are family. It's only right to go and have a look. 。She only threw down those words and then said nothing more, continuing forward towards the direction of Lin'an government office. 。It doesn't really matter whether they're relatives or not, because they're from the second branch of the family and Xiao Sh beyaz's natal family. In a strict sense, they are opposed to her first branch. 。And the reason she assigned Ji Rong to help was because she remembered that Duke Ningguo had a good relationship with her father in the past. Every time her father returned to Beijing, he would take time out to have drinks with Duke Ningguo at a winehouse. 。Several times she pestered her father to take her along, and she even saw the eldest son of the Duke Ningguo's family. He politely addressed her as "Fourth Sister". 。But she didn't tell Ye Fei Zhou about these things. This second brother was very unfamiliar to her, just like Ye Fei Zhou hadn't visited the Xiao family many times. Throughout their lives, the number of times she had interacted with this second brother could be counted on her fingers. 。The Lin'an Prefecture yamen was only recently renovated last year, so it was fairly sturdy, and therefore the collapse wasn't too severe. 。From the outside, the yamen hall was still intact, only some tiles were broken. 。The floor tiles were bulging quite a bit, and there was even a crack in the ground at the entrance. 。... There were still many people rushing over here. Ye Wenyan stopped and listened for a while before understanding that they were all officials who had already taken their leave, but now they had finished their household affairs and rushed back to stand guard. 。Chi Hongfang was walking out with a few people, waving his hand as he went. 。Someone handed him a white cotton cloth, and he let them press his hand with it. In a short while, blood seeped through the cloth. 。Then someone advised, "Sir, you should get a doctor to bandage this wound before going out. It's been bleeding for quite some time, it's not right!" Chi Hongfang immediately glared and said, "Don't worry about me, this injury is nothing serious. I'll just stop by a medicine shop on the way and apply some ointment." 。Haste, summon all who can still move and follow me to the streets to save people. 。Those who can't move, tend to their minor injuries. Those with serious injuries, the local authorities will call a doctor back to treat them. For now, please bear with it. 。" Just then, he looked up and saw Ye Wenyan " 。Relieved and surprised, "As long as Fourth Sister is alright, I can rest easy." 。" Ye Wenyan nodded, stepping forward to look at Chi Hongfang's injured hand. 。Seeing her reaching out to grab his hand, Chi Hongfang felt a bit nervous and embarrassed. He quickly retreated and kept saying, "Fourth Sister, don't worry about me, I'm really fine. These injuries are nothing." 。" However, Ye Wen insisted on taking his hand. "Lord Chi is the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. This is the time when we need Lord Chi to step forward and take charge." 。If the people saw so much blood flowing from your hands, they would be frightened. 。So, for the sake of keeping the people's hearts at ease, even the adults have to let me treat your wound. 。In the blink of an eye, she crushed a pill between her fingers into a powder and evenly sprinkled it onto Chi Hongfang's wound. 。Before, the wound that kept bleeding nonstop immediately stopped bleeding. Some places even began to scab over. 。Someone who saw this scene was amazed by the miraculous effect of Night Fourth Sister's medicine. 。But Chi Hongfang understood in his heart that it was probably not the medicinal powder that had stopped his bleeding, but Ye Wenyan's own ability. 。As for where this ability came from, there's no need to ask. Others may not know, but he certainly does. It must be from the teachings of the Emperor! 。Suddenly, a buzzing sound arose from all directions, startling everyone. 。Nobody knew where the buzzing came from, what caused it, or why it was happening. 。Suddenly, red light flickered around the city of Lin'an. It pulsed with the humming sound, shifting in intensity from deep to shallow shades of red. 。It soon came to mind that before the ground dragon turned over, there had been a strange humming sound first, followed by the shaking of the earth and the collapse of houses. 。A buzzing sound arose once again, a sure sign of the earth dragon turning over! Yet the ground remained still. Lin'an City was as it had been before, with not a trace of extra commotion. 。This is the power of the Emperor, the Emperor used his spiritual energy to protect the entire Lin'an City, allowing people inside the city to be spared from another round of earth dragon upheaval, and also stopping the damage to the city after the first major earthquake, preventing further harm. 。Whether it was the Inner City or the Outer City, at this moment, apart from those who were too seriously injured to get up, those who hadn't been pulled out from under the rubble of bricks and tiles, and Ye Wenyan, everyone else knelt towards the direction of Yanhu Palace, shouting in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting the city! Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving our lives! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"Chi Hongfang was also kneeling. When he shouted "thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting the city," tears streamed down his face. 。He was the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. No one desired peace and security in Lin'an City more than he, for it was both his duty and his mission. 。He only has to exist in one place, that is, for this city. The city exists because of the people, and if the city disappears, whether he exists or not doesn't matter. 。Right now, the Emperor is using his spiritual energy to protect the city. Not only has he given the citizens of the entire city a chance to survive, but he's also given himself time to be rescued. 。At least during the rescue, people don't have to worry about being hurt by aftershocks, and those buried don't have to worry about shaking again making them buried deeper. 。Some people looked at Ye Wenyan and thought, "Why don't you kneel" But then they saw that their own magistrate, despite his advanced age, was showing such great respect to this young girl, so any questions they had died in their throats. 。After three bows, Chi Hong stood up and asked Ye Wen, "Sister Four, did you come to the yamen for something Is there trouble at home Is the head wife alright How badly was the mansion damaged" He finished his words, then glanced sideways at Ye Fei Zhou, and immediately felt a bit displeased, "Oh, Young Master Two is here too" 。"

Ye Fei Zhou's face wasn't looking too good, he didn't say anything, and even took a step back, directly retreating behind Ye Chu Lian

Ye Wen continued, "There's nothing major happening at my home. I came here to see how things are going at the county office and to catch up with Aunt [Name] and Fei Fei." 。"Are they alright"

Chi Hongfang felt deeply touched, "It's fine, it's fine, everyone is fine. They are still busy in the backyard. Should I take Fourth Sister to have a look"

"No..."

She shook her head, “It’s fine. I’m going to the Jiang family now.” 。Besides, I just heard on the way that many mansions in the inner city had doctors visiting last night, and some even brought in doctors from the outer city overnight. 。The inner city is still relatively orderly right now, but I don't know what the outer city is like. 。If there are still personnel available, send more to the outer city. After all, this is Kyoto; we must ensure that no chaos arises due to the disaster, or else the Emperor's protective shield will have been for naught. 。“ Chi Hongyan immediately understood and with a wave of his hand, he took a group of officials out running. 。In times of great disaster, every second counts. Ye Wenqing was thankful that houses in this era were usually only one story high. Even inns and restaurants that were two or three stories tall were made of wood. Even if someone was crushed or hit by debris, they wouldn't be too badly injured, nor would they be buried too deep to be dug out. 。Even in the later generations, even if she and her master were together, unless they openly displayed their magic arts, there was nothing they could do. 。From the Lin'an Prefecture Office to the Minister of Punishment's Mansion, along this journey, Ye Wen's body, which was adorned with flowers, had run out. 。She was anxious. Where could she possibly find flowers at this time If there were no flowers to be found, she would just be an ordinary person who knew martial arts, unable to do anything. 。"I hope the Jiang household has flowers that she can use to supplement herself, and I also hope that her actions of using flowers don't make the Jiang family members think it's too strange…"e Wen Yan tidy her hair again." 。At this moment, one feels that they shouldn't speak to the Emperor and should be a discerning person.Then he again addressed Ye Wen at night, saying, "This is my wife....
