Three Hundred and Ninety-One: Dongqing Earthquake (23)
Luo Yue looked confused and didn't understand why Jiang Pengji asked. However, as a guard, he had to obey Jiang Pengji's orders. Ω』hunt』WwΩW． ΩＬｉｅＷen． CC
"As far as I know, there should be only these one thousand people."
The imperial edict was clearly written, so how could there be an extra thousand people?
Jiang Pengji frowned and listened carefully to the footsteps. It seemed that they were coming in their direction. Luo Yue's hearing was not as bad as Jiang Pengji's, but as the strange force approached, he couldn't help but tensed up his muscles and exposed A watchful expression.
Looking at Luo Yue who seemed to be waiting for him, Feng Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at something.
Tap tap tap——
The neat and steady steps were getting closer and closer, and the Forbidden Army waiting outside also found traces of strange forces, and the crowd's commotion became increasingly louder and louder.
Jiang Pengji couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and passed Luo Yue's three imperial guards, striding out. A small fire appeared in her sight. As they approached, the fire became clearer and clearer. There were three people riding in front of the team. A tall horse.
As a warrior, Meng Chun had the best sight. Soon he saw Jiang Pengji's figure. His face suddenly lit up and he galloped a few steps on his horse.
"Lang Jun——Subordinate Meng Hun, please see Lang Jun!"
After not seeing each other for several years, Meng Hun would not forget Jiang Pengji's appearance, even if she was in such a miserable state now.
Jiang Pengji saw clearly the identities of the first three people from a distance, and almost suspected that her eyes were dazzled. It was not until Meng Hun dismounted and couldn't restrain the excitement on his face that she came back to her senses and helped Meng Hun who was half-kneeling. He stood up and looked at Qi Guan Rang with a half-smile.
According to her understanding, Meng Hun couldn't do such a thing. It was impossible for him to run around with the song and appear in front of her at such a critical moment. After thinking about it, Qi Guan Rang is the only one who has the ability to do this.
"Wen Zheng once said that he would show up to help Xi when he needs you most. Is that now?"
Jiang Pengji stepped forward, Qi Guanrang stepped down from the stirrups, flicked the gray-stained sleeves a little, and bowed deeply to her.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. I wanted to wait for my husband to drive near Fengyi County, but he didn't know that there would be an earthquake."
Jiang Pengji helped him up and asked doubtfully, "Why are you waiting in Fengyi County?"
Qi Guan Rang was about to speak,
His eyes caught a glimpse of the Forbidden Army group, his eyes flickered, and he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
Jiang Pengji noticed his actions and raised her hand to ask Luo Yue to lead the imperial army further away.
Even though Luo Yue was unwilling to do so, as the young leader of the Forbidden Army, he could naturally see that Jiang Pengji's troops were also rare elite soldiers. Meng Hun, the leader, was even more restrained. He could intimidate all the young men with his body alone, so he took him with him. The people retreated about ten meters.
"Originally, according to Rang's calculations, Lang Jun was probably going to be hunted down. After calculating various routes, Rang thought that the border between Shangyang County and Fengyi County was the most likely place, so he led his people to lurk there for convenience. Mr. Qi responded... Who knew that an earthquake would mess up Rang's plans?" Qi Guan Rang spread his hands with an expression of "What can I do? I'm desperate too."
No matter how perfect a person is, he can't stand God's shame.
"Someone will hunt me? Why?"
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms over her chest. It wasn't that she didn't believe Qi Guanrang's statement, she was just curious.
Qi Guan Rang shook his head and said, "Now that everything has gone off the rails, if Rang talks about his plans again, it will just add to the laughter."
It was obvious that Qi Guanrang didn't want to say anything.
This earthquake not only disrupted Qi Guanjang's plan, but also made the relatives and eunuchs who were gearing up to oust the emperor and evacuate the nobles to hold back their anger. The prince who was preparing to force the palace was even more energetic and had nothing to do. They were all trying to escape. How could they remember? These "great undertakings".
Jiang Pengji pondered for a while and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can still guess something. No matter what, I still want to thank you."
With a lack of manpower, one can imagine Jiang Pengji's mood as she watched the people who could have been saved die helplessly while waiting.
Now, Qi Guanrang has brought three thousand Buqu, two thousand of whom are already searching and rescuing people in Fengyi County, and the remaining one thousand can also be of great help to her.
"Mr. Lang, you are too flattering. This is what I have to do."
Qi Guanrang narrowed his eyes, and his usually gloomy eyes became more peaceful.
When Jiang Pengji heard what he said, her heart moved, and the smile on her face became brighter.
"In this case, it is better to do it sooner rather than later." Jiang Pengji said with a serious face, "This earthquake caused countless casualties. The weather is hot now, and the body cannot be preserved for too long. To prevent decay and maggots, we should find a place to bury it as soon as possible. Put it in the ground to prevent disease."
Qi Guanrang nodded and said, "Lang Jun decides everything."
With a thousand forbidden troops, a thousand private troops, and the people she had recruited before, Jiang Pengji immediately had a lot of people at her disposal.
She called Qi Guanrang, Feng Jin, Xu Ke, Meng Hun and the Imperial Army Luo Yue over to prepare to redeploy the search and rescue plan.
Jiang Pengji didn't care what Luo Yue was thinking. As long as this person could obey and do things, that was enough.
"Xiaoyu, have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
With the five hundred shi of food provided by the emperor, the rations can last for a few days. As for the medicinal materials, she had people search several medicine shops, and all the people inside were dead. She "borrowed" the medicinal materials that no one wanted, so that she could use them sparingly and still be able to last for half a day.
In this way, the most important thing turned out to be the lime needed to bury the body.
Xu Ke was startled for a moment and said, "I have already brought them. They are all in the car."
Jiang Pengji said, "Have someone unload all the food and medicine, put a layer of straw or other covering on the car, and bury the body tonight. Judging from the weather, it will rain in a few days. If the body rots, the corpse water mixed with rainwater will enter the well water, polluting it. Then we will have a tough battle. Drinking polluted water can easily cause epidemics."
Jiang Pengji narrated calmly, and the expressions of the people sitting around changed one after another.
They had rich imaginations, and their minds couldn't help but draw the pictures Jiang Pengji said, and they were immediately disgusted.
"East, west, north and south of the city..." Jiang Pengji used a branch to draw a map of Shangjing on the ground, divided it into four places, and sent 450 people to search and rescue in each place. Each area was divided in detail, and even the transportation route was explained.
Jiang Pengji's thinking was very clear, and it didn't take even half a cup of tea to assign tasks.
Everyone present was not stupid. They wrote down their respective tasks and waited for Jiang Pengji's order. Feng Jin was worried about another thing. If the poisonous corpse water would flow into the ground with the rainwater and pollute the well water, then the place to bury the body would have to be carefully considered.
Jiang Pengji had considered this, of course, and she circled an area.
"This is on a hill outside the east of the city. It is close to the east of the city, which is convenient for transporting corpses. The terrain is high, far away from the moat, and not connected to the underground water veins. Outside the east of the city, the terrain is remote, sparsely populated, and there are few villages... Considering various conditions, it is better to bury here."
Since cremation is not possible, Jiang Pengji can only choose burial, and she must also consider various conditions comprehensively.
