All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 445 A Stormy Night

Xie Yunying did not delay and came out of her second sister-in-law's room. A gust of wind blew over, mixed with raindrops that hit her face.

At the end of April, it feels like winter.

Xie Yunying wiped the rain off her face and walked into the rain.

"Miss……"

Hongmei came out from the side with an umbrella, and just in time saw Xie Yunying walking in the rain, she quickly opened the umbrella in her hand.

"Miss, why are you walking in the rain? It's raining so hard, what if you get wet and catch a cold?"

Hongmei's words were full of anxiety and worry.

The umbrellas in her hands were all tilted towards Xie Yunying, and she was standing in the rain without even noticing it.

Seeing this, Xie Yunying took the umbrella and said, "You go back to the house. I'll check the drainage system and then come back."

"Miss…"

"Go quickly. You can't help me in any way if you follow me, and it will slow down my speed."

Xie Yunying's words were not malicious, but rather were based on facts.

Hongmei had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house.

"Miss, you have to be more careful."

"It's okay, it's okay, go back and rest."

Xie Yunying strode towards the front yard holding an umbrella.

Second brother is concerned about the entire city, so she has to take charge of the affairs in the mansion.

When we left Chang'an, we said we were coming here to train and defend the border.

Although she did spend a long time in the military camp in the past few months, because there was no war, she was unable to defend the border for the time being.

But this did not affect her determination to grow into an independent female general.

Xie Yunying walked quickly to the front yard, and went over the structural map of the palace in her mind, looking for the lowest point.

"Princess, Princess Chaoyang!"

The voice of the palace's butler sounded behind her. Xie Yunying stopped and looked back, and saw Butler Xu, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, trotting in from outside.

"Princess, why did you come out?"

Butler Xu asked worriedly.

Xie Yunying shook her head. "I'm here to see if there's any waterlogging. Butler Xu, where are you coming from?"

"I'm coming from the stables."

It was raining so heavily outside that not only Xie Yunying was worried about flooding, but the old people in the palace were also worried.

This kind of rain is like someone pouring water from the sky. If you are not careful, it will flood your house.

Xie Yunying thought of it, and Butler Xu naturally thought of it too.

He was leading people to dig a ditch next to the stable, which was the lowest and had the worst drainage in the palace. When he heard that Xie Yunying had also come out, he hurried over to see if something had happened in the backyard.

After listening to what Butler Xu said, Xie Yunying nodded.

"The backyard is fine. I just checked and the drainage is fine. Butler, please have someone keep an eye on the drains. Make sure they are not blocked by anything."

"Hey, Princess, don't worry."

"it is good."

As soon as Xie Yunying finished speaking, someone rushed in from outside and asked, "My Lord, is my Lord here?"

"What's the matter?"

Butler Xu stopped the man and asked.

The soldier who ran in to report the news said, "Butler Xu, several houses in the south of the city have collapsed... Many people have been injured or killed..."

"what?"

Although the rain was very heavy, it had only been falling for less than an incense stick of time. How could houses collapse so quickly?

Butler Xu looked confused.

Xie Yunying had already understood that "the families living in the south of the city have mud-walled houses. Their houses are already shaky and naturally cannot withstand such a storm."

"Princess!"

"Butler Xu, you guard the government office well." Xie Yunying raised her head and looked at the soldier who was bowing his head in front of her. "Take the troops and follow me to the south of the city to rescue."

"Princess…"

Butler Xu was very worried.

After all, Xie Yunying is a girl. It is very dangerous for her to take people out for rescue on such a windy, rainy, thundering night.

"fine."

Xie Yunying asked someone to go to the stable and bring her mount over.

She jumped on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, turned around and said to the housekeeper Xu who was standing in the corridor, "The children of the Xie family, no matter whether they are men or women, will not be defeated by the difficulties in front of them."

Even though she is a girl, she is better than many men.

Because the blood of Xie family flows in her body, she will not bring shame to Xie family.

Xie Yunying rode a horse, took the palace's personal guards and the officers and soldiers outside, and went out, heading towards the south of the city.

The storm made it difficult for them to move forward, but Xie Yunying rode on her horse and did not retreat.

The soldiers behind them saw that the noble Princess did not retreat, so they naturally did not retreat either.

Everyone stepped forward consciously and protected Xie Yunying in the middle.

"Princess, please slow down. We will protect you from the wind and rain."

It is definitely impossible to block all the wind and rain with your body. You can only block some of the wind and rain with your body.

This will also help to minimize the exposure of Xie Yunying to wind and rain.

Xie Yunying said nothing and rode towards the south of the city.

When they arrived, they found that the collapse of the house was more serious than they had imagined. In the heavy rain, there were cries and calls for help mixed together.

The thunder continued to rumble and lightning flashed, illuminating the ruins on the ground.

Xie Yunying looked around and immediately said, "Divide the team into three groups. The first group will count the number of people affected and evacuate the affected people. The second group will evacuate all the people in the nearby mud houses to a safe place, and immediately inspect all houses with potential risks throughout the city to eliminate all hidden dangers that may collapse. The third group, follow me to rescue the injured."

Her voice rang out in the rain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yunying got off the horse and walked quickly towards the nearest collapsed house.

"Come and move this rubble out of the way. There are people underneath."

"Yes!"

"There are people here too. Come quickly. There are two people down there."

"It's available here too."

"Come right over."

A series of noises were heard from the collapsed houses in the south of the city.

The sudden heavy rain caught the city of Tongtianguan off guard.

But fortunately, those in power handled various crises promptly and quickly, thus saving the people in Tongtian Pass from a disaster.

When it was almost dawn, Xie Yunying finally ordered people to rescue all the people who were trapped under the rubble.

She stood on the ruins in the relatively calm storm and looked around at the ruins.

Although they came out in time and rescued the people trapped underneath, there were still twenty houses destroyed.

These houses are no longer habitable and we have to build new ones.

“Yunying, Yunying!”

Xie Yuan's voice came from a distance. Xie Yunying turned around and saw her second brother riding towards her in a hurry. She raised her hand and waved.

"Brother, how is the situation over there?"

When Xie Yuan heard the report that Xie Yunying had led people to rescue the civilians, to be honest, he felt both proud and worried.

The pride was naturally because she was so capable and lived up to the Xie family's name.

Worry, of course, is because she is a girl after all...

Seeing her frail figure standing in the ruins with a look of enjoying herself, Xie Yuan laughed out loud.
