“It’s the Ten-thousand-year-old Turtle that’s come to help us save people.”
Su Zixuan carefully did not mention Little Kingfisher, feeling a touch of guilt deep within her heart.
“Ten-thousand-year-old Turtle!”
“It has gained spiritual intelligence, right?”
“Otherwise, how could it help us save people.”
“With the help of the ten-thousand-year-old turtle spirit, even the heavens are helping us!”
The hunters arrived later and discussed upon hearing Su Zixuan’s words.
“Brother Niu is right, whether it’s a turtle spirit or not, saving people is the most important thing right now. I and Su Hu will go on the turtle’s shell to replace Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang. You two stay here and assist those coming ashore. The rest of you, follow the Su siblings to take the rescued children back to the cave.”
Li Dashan, like his father, had a great reputation in the village.
As soon as he spoke, the hunters agreed and quickly assigned tasks, each performing his duties.
“Sister Qiao, Doudou, where’s your sister? Why don’t I see Sister Yu and Brother Meng?”
After the initial excitement, Su Hu suddenly realized that two people were missing.
“Sister Yu and Brother Meng went to the village on the other side of the river to save people on a raft.”
Su Ziqin wiped away tears and choked up in response.
“What? Sister Yu and Brother Meng went to the other side of the river?”
Su Hu’s face changed drastically, and his breathing almost stopped.
“Brother Hu, don’t worry, with Qingluo’s abilities, they will be fine.”
Jifeng and Jiyu jumped off the turtle’s shell and whispered comforting words into Su Hu’s ear, “We will send a message to Little Qingluo right away and let the two female officials send people to assist them.”
“Alright, thank you, brothers.”
Su Hu took a deep breath to calm down and gratefully shook the hands of the two Imperial Shadow Guards, “Please, female officials, ensure the safety of Sister Yu and Brother Meng.”
“It’s our duty; no need for thanks.”
Jifeng and Jiyu’s faces were solemn, and they did their best to demonstrate the prestige of the Qilin Guards.
The two hadn’t experienced this feeling for a long time.
Nostalgic feelings flooded their hearts, and they couldn’t help but wipe away bitter tears.
Ever since they came to Woniu Village, they had felt stifled for too long.
The high and sturdy walls of the royal palace blocked the impact of the flood.
The two female officials gave orders, and the Imperial Guards and attendants guarded the palace gates vigilantly, reinforcing sandbags at the courtyards’ doors to prevent the erosion of mud.
Through joint efforts, they managed to protect the exquisite buildings within the palace, suffering minimal loss from the flood.
The palace gates were tightly closed, and everyone remained on high alert as long as the storm continued and the floodwaters did not recede, fearing that the flood might rise further and inundate the palace completely.
The two Imperial Shadow Guards kept their promise and sent a pigeon-carried letter right after returning to the cave, informing the female officials about the nearby villages’ situation.
It said that Su Qingluo and Wang Meng, two children who knew no fear, were fighting alone, braving the wind and rain, and rescuing people in the disaster-stricken villages on a raft.
Xu Yanru received the secret message and immediately felt a mix of emotions, her eyes turning red.
Considering the current situation of the palace, it couldn’t be left unguarded. After discussing with female official Zhang Wenlin, they decided to split forces.
Each of them led one group of swimming-capable Imperial Guards.
One group searched for survivors outside, the other guarded the palace, and they switched every two Shichen to prevent exhaustion and irreparable loss.
There were ten emergency light boats in the royal palace, each capable of carrying five people.
Female official Xu Yanru immediately ordered her group to take five light boats ahead to rescue people in the villages.
Female official Zhang Wenlin, on the other hand, stayed behind with her team in the palace, responsible for guarding it and ensuring the safety of the attendants and palace maids.
