The days after New Year's Eve seem to have seen a much warmer temperature, just when many new year's seeds are about to sprout...

The sky was gray, and sometimes a flock of birds gathered in the sky, wandering back and forth, sometimes chirping, as if they were telling the people something.

When the people saw this sign and wanted to take a closer look, the sky turned dark and the sounds made by the birds seemed to become very tragic. However, the people did not know what this sign meant.

While the people were talking one after another, the earth suddenly trembled several times.

In the streets and alleys, items that were not very solid on the stalls also trembled a few times and were thrown to the ground without caring at all.

Seeing this, a scholar on the street suddenly shouted: "The earth is moving! The earth is moving!"

All of a sudden, the people in the originally orderly streets and alleys were like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around.

But after all, God has no mercy and simply allowed the earthquake to cause disaster to the people.

I saw that in the entire Kaihuai Mansion, the originally luxurious and luxurious houses collapsed one after another and turned into ruins.

In the streets and alleys, people who had no time to run were either killed by the debris of their houses or their legs, hands and other parts were pinned by the collapsed beams.

There were cries and cries on the streets, injured and dead. Unfortunately, as the prefect of Kaihuai Prefecture, he also died in this waste.

However, not far away, Tongzhou City, which had not yet received the information, was still living a happy life without knowing anything.

At this time, Chen Ziyuan and Zhu Chunxu were practicing sword practice seriously in the backyard of the shop.

"The Qi needs to be calm! The hands need to be straight! The posture needs to be correct!" Chunxu pointed.

Just when nine-year-old Chen Ziyuan was about to adjust his posture, the house in front of him suddenly began to shake.

"Uncle Xu! Me! Why is the house shaking when I look at it?" Chen Ziyuan said.

Hearing Zi Yuan's words, Sun Chunxu, who had not yet noticed it, smiled slightly: "That's because you are unable to stand firmly. As long as your feet are like stone pillars, standing on the ground, you will stand firm."

After hearing this, Chen Ziyuan did as he was told, but he still couldn't feel the stability. Suddenly, the ground became more violent, and Ziyuan noticed the ground shaking a few more times.

"Uncle Xu, no." Zi Yuan shook his head.

This time, Sun Chunxu stopped and turned to look at the shop. Just when Chunxu thought that all this was an illusion, there was a man on the street holding a gong, beating it hard, and shouting loudly from time to time: "Gong

It’s moving! The ground is moving! Be careful! Everyone! Run outside the city!”

At this moment, Chunxu seemed to begin to believe everything and hurriedly ran to Ziyuan. Without saying a word, he picked up Ziyuan like a piece of wood and ran out of the store.

"Xi Ran! Mommy! Run!" He yelled in a panic while carrying Ziyuan Chunxu.

At this time, Li Xiran had already run outside the shop, but Nanny Zhang was still nowhere to be seen.

"Mother Zhang!" Chen Ziyuan shouted.

But there was no reply for a long time, so Chunxu had no choice but to put Zi Yuan down, then looked at the very panicked Li Xiran and ordered: "Take Zi Yuan and run outside the city! I'll go back and see Nanny Zhang!"

"Brother Chunxu! This is too dangerous, you can't go!" Li Xiran said fearfully.

Sun Chunxu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You go quickly!"

After saying that, Chunxu ran towards the store that was about to collapse, shouting loudly: "Aunt Zhang! Aunt Zhang!"

I don't know whether it was because the earthquake sound was too strong or for some other reason, but Chunxu couldn't hear Aunt Zhang's reply.

Nanny Zhang was currently on the second floor. Her legs were pressed down by a large beam and she couldn't move. She shouted loudly: "Chunxu! Ziyuan! Xiran!"

Aunt Zhang was nowhere to be seen on the first floor. Chunxu hurriedly ran to the second floor, shouting loudly: "Nanny Zhang! Auntie!"

"I'm here!" Nanny Zhang replied, but the echo was drowned out by Chu Chunxu's shout.

"I'm here!" Nanny Zhang shouted again.

After shouting several times, Chunxu finally noticed Nanny Zhang's voice in his ears, so he stopped shouting and walked towards the sound.

By coincidence, just when Chunxu saw Aunt Zhang's voice, the tiles and wood upstairs fell down, almost hitting Chunxu.

When Grandma Zhang saw the collapsed debris blocking her way, she hurriedly shouted: "Chunxu! Let's go! Leave me alone!"

But Chunxu was still thinking about saving him, and when he was about to use his own strength to move the crossbar blocking his way, something unexpected happened.

This crossbar has completely blocked the way.

Several tiles on the roof fell off one after another.

"Chunxu! Let's go! Don't worry about me! Otherwise, you won't be able to get out! Take good care of Ziyuan and fulfill the master's instructions!" Before he could finish speaking, a piece of wood fell down and hit Grandma Zhang on the head.

His life was cut short.

Seeing that the house was getting closer and closer to collapse, Chunxu had no choice but to run away and run outside the shop.

Unexpectedly, when Chunxu ran out of the shop, the house collapsed and there was a lot of dust...

Xi Ran followed Chun Xu's instructions and was already waiting outside the city with Zi Yuan.

After looking carefully, Xi Ran and Zi Yuan finally saw Chun Xu approaching.

When they saw Chunxu walking in, their originally happy faces suddenly became worried.

"Brother Chunxu, where is Aunt Zhang?" Xi Ran said with a sad look on his face.

Chunxu lowered his head and shook his head. It was all my fault for not being able to save Grandma Zhang.

Although Nanny Zhang is a servant, they have already regarded Nanny Zhang as a relative after having known each other for a long time.

Ziyuan's tears fell one drop at a time.

And Chunxu blamed himself even more: "It's all my fault. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have come to this city."

Xi Ran comforted: "I don't blame you, it's because God has no eyes for it."

Outside Tongzhou City, other people who had lost their loved ones burst into tears.

Soon, news of the earthquake in Mozhang Province reached the palace...

"Your Majesty, there was a major earthquake in Mozhang Kaihuai Mansion and other places. The people suffered heavy casualties. I don't know how to... deal with it?" Huang Zhiyuan, the Prime Minister of Zuo, said.

"I have always trusted Su Aiqing when it comes to disaster relief. It is better for Su Aiqing to go this time." The emperor said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Su Yunqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, felt very happy: "I accept the decree! I will definitely live up to the trust of the court and the emperor!"

"Okay." After Dao, thinking of the incident in Qi State, the emperor asked: "Is the border affairs still stable recently?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, everything at the border is going as usual and nothing unusual has been found," Gui Yuanwei, Minister of War, said.

"Okay. Please report to me in a timely manner any situation regarding border issues."

"yes."

The next day, Su Yunqi drove his carriage to Mozhang Province again. This time, he did not go with the disaster relief food, but went to Mozhang to check it out before the disaster relief food was distributed.
