Chapter 1088: Earthquake (1)

The marriage was quietly set.

It was as if nothing had changed, but at the same time, it was as if everything was different.

At this moment, on the city wall of the capital.

The armored general’s eyes were filled with anxiety. He looked at the endless refugees outside the city and shook his head.”There are more and more refugees.”

“Go and ask what happened outside.”

The richest man in the world, Miss Jiang, and His Majesty had already sent a large number of soldiers and money to relieve the disaster.

Logically speaking, the number of refugees should have decreased.

Lord Fang stood on the city wall and thought for a moment before following the soldiers down to the city gate.

“Where are you refugees from? Didn’t His Majesty send out the silver for disaster relief?” The soldier stopped the refugee and asked.

The refugees knelt on the ground in ragged clothes and kept kowtowing.”Please let me go, my hometown is gone. It’s all gone …”

“Official, the imperial court’s money and soldiers have all gone to the disaster relief. But … The refugees who spoke could not help but shed tears.

“However, on the 20th of July, there was a sudden clap of thunder on a sunny day. The river stopped flowing, and there were deep gullies on the ground. Our village was most likely dead. They’re all dead…”

“Official…”

“Oh my god, why are you torturing us like this?” The refugee knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Lord Fang frowned. Why had the capital never heard of this?

“Where are you from?” Lord Fang asked in a deep voice.

The refugee cried until he was out of breath.”We are from Nanjiang. It was originally a land of fish and rice, and the least lacking thing was rain. Who knew that there was no rain for three months in a row, and it was constantly exposed to the sun. On that day, lightning flashed in the sky, shocking everyone. Ever since that thunderclap, there hasn’t been a single drop of rain.”

“It’s like the heavens are angry.” A refugee behind him said in a panic.

Even now, he still felt shocked and terrified when he thought about it.

“And … Even the Salvation Palace that we built on the mountain was directly split apart by a bolt of lightning. It directly cut off the Salvation Palace from the middle. The whole world seemed to have been divided into two halves.”

Lord Fang’s expression tensed up. There was no news from Nanjiang?

” You guys settle the refugees. I’ll go to the palace to report to His Majesty. ” Lord Fang turned around and left.

This was no small matter.

On the 20th of July…

It seemed to be the day of His Majesty’s engagement.

When Lord Fang reported this matter, it immediately caused a huge uproar.

July 20th, three months from now.

The drought was so severe.

That day, the emperor was furious.

Late at night, all the officials stayed in the palace, trembling with fear.

Midnight.

The courtier dragged his tired body out of the palace, but when he left the palace, he suddenly felt a sway.

It was as if the world was shaking.

The palace bells hanging under the eaves rang.

The glazed tiles on the roof slid down and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The Virtuous King stood at the front and was unable to dodge in time. He was directly hit by the glazed tiles and his head bled.

Shocked, the courtier hurriedly held onto the surrounding walls before barely standing up.

In an instant, they heard screams of horror from all around them.

“What happened?”

“Quickly protect His Majesty.”

“It’s an earthquake, it’s an earthquake. Everyone, kneel down, kneel down and beg the heavens for forgiveness. It’s an earthquake.”

Someone shouted, and the officials knelt down in horror.

Everything was shaking and spinning.

Even the ground cracked, and the ministers were in a mess.
