Chapter 220 It’s the princess, it’s really Her Royal Highness the Princess who has come!The area in the city that was flooded enough for boats to sail was quite large, and there was a small area in the middle where the water was flowing very fast because of the slope. Fortunately, it was not so urgent that the ships could not pass. Yun Shu calculated the time on the boat and estimated that it took the boat about ten minutes to finally reach the shallow water. As she waded through the water, the soldiers who had arrived ahead of her had not yet received a single civilian. At this moment, he was knocking on doors and windows of every house: "Is there anyone here? If this rain continues for a few more days, this place will be completely flooded! We are the people sent by the court to take you to another place to settle down temporarily!" "Who asked you to answer it?" In some very special rooms, voices of rejection were heard directly: "Do you think we are stupid? You are just here to take advantage of the opportunity to make money!" "If I don't let you take it, the worst that can happen is that you will die. If I let you take it, not only will you lose your money, but you might even lose your life!"
"We don't want your money!" The heavy rain was still falling outside, and the noise was too loud, so everyone could only shout at the top of their lungs: "We won't touch your people either! We have military regulations!" "If you can believe what you say, even sows can climb trees!" The people inside were not moved at all: "I told you not to answer it! If you dare to force your way in, I will fight you!" "We really can't stay here for long! You guys... Damn it, my kindness is really not rewarded!" I came all the way here in such heavy rain to do good things, but I was still treated as a bandit. Naturally, there were many soldiers who had less patience and could not help but show their emotions on the spot. But there were also some smarter ones who knew that they had long lost their credibility in the eyes of the people, and they quickly thought of using Yun Shu's name - "You may not believe in us, but you must believe in Princess Saint Ann, right? You all live nearby, so you should all know that the embankment at the back was repaired by Princess Saint Ann a few days ago. It is also because of Princess Saint Ann that you were able to stockpile food in advance and survive until today! Then why don't you believe that Princess Saint Ann is leading us to rescue you today?" "You said you were brought here by Princess Saint Ann. Where's the evidence?" What the soldier said just now is very correct. The people here are now trapped in this area and have difficulty entering and leaving. The reason they were able to hold on until now was indeed because Yun Shu had asked people to spread the news secretly, saying that she had dreamed of a flood in the capital, which led almost every household to stockpile some food. Perhaps it is because of this that the people here are somewhat grateful to Yun Shu. As a result, the people who had not responded before, when they heard someone outside mention Yun Shu's name, the voices of anger suddenly increased. "You bunch of bandits, stop ruining the reputation of Princess Saint Ann!" "That's right! Princess Saint Ann's reputation cannot be tarnished by people like you!" "Shut up, you guys!" "..."
The scene was in chaos. Yun Shu, who had been watching the situation from the side for a while, also felt helpless. This is not just a simple conflict between the military and the people. Those who didn’t know would think that this army was from an enemy country! “Everyone!” After walking a little further forward, Yun Shu tried to stand in a position with more houses. He raised his voice, trying his best to let more people hear his voice: “I am Princess Sheng’an, Yunshu! I can vouch for this with my own reputation, these soldiers were indeed brought by me to help everyone move to a safe place temporarily! They are the soldiers of Tiansheng, the good men of the capital camp. Their mission is to protect the people of our Tiansheng Dynasty! These soldiers will never take a single needle or thread from you, nor will they harm anyone! If you find that they are doing these things behind my back, you can come directly to me to expose and report them. Once it is confirmed that what you revealed is true, I will not only severely punish those who violated the order, but also reward those who reported it! " Amidst the noisy voices of the soldiers, a clear female voice suddenly emerged. And the other party also claimed to be Princess Saint Ann, The people in the room, who were originally full of resistance, looked at each other in bewilderment. In a house close to the sound, a little girl who was about the same age as Yun Shu wanted to open the door, but was pulled back by her mother: "How can you be so bold? What if these people just found a random woman to pretend to be Princess Saint Ann? You are so beautiful, if you fall into those people's hands, you will be finished!" "Probably not!" The little girl's brother hesitated and said: "Impersonating Her Royal Highness the Princess is a crime punishable by beheading!" "Princess Saint Ann had dreamed about this flood earlier, and then she built a dam and spread the news that we should stock up on food. It seems possible that she will bring people to help us move to another place..." The child's father also hesitated for a moment and tentatively suggested: "How about opening the window and taking a look? I heard that voice, it really sounds like Princess Saint Ann's!" "……OK!" If the rain continues like this, this place might be flooded in two days. After all, it was a way out. The mother gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Anyway, if those people really want to force their way in, our doors and windows will definitely not be able to hold up, so why not just take a look at what's going on first!" …… There are many conversations like this. The doors and windows that had been tightly closed before were finally pushed open one gap after another. The houses far away were not clearly visible due to the heavy rain and the crowds of people. Those who were closer could see at a glance the girl in the center of the crowd, wearing a fiery red riding suit. The father of the little girl who spoke earlier happened to have participated in the dike repair. The moment he saw Yun Shu's face, his eyes lit up: "It's Princess Saint Ann! It's really Princess Saint Ann who came to save us! Ah Qiao, Tie Niu, hurry up and help your mother pack up the things we need to take away. We are leaving with Princess Saint Ann now!"
Ordinary people don’t have many valuable things. Besides, they were only leaving temporarily this time and would come back after the weather cleared and the water receded. So there wasn't much to pack and take away, just some copper coins and a few pieces of clothing. After cleaning up, this family was the first to appear on the street outside where the water had already reached their calves. Their appearance also lifted the spirits of the soldiers who had not seen the people for a long time. I was afraid that if I didn't perform well as the first one, it would affect the work of the next borrowers, and then affect the reward they could get. When they gathered around one by one, they were so enthusiastic!
