Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 472 Chen Sangsang and Yue Hejiang

Chen Sangsang looked at the man in front of her and felt helpless. If possible, she really didn't want to choose this man, but it was fate.

She had wanted to get close to Yue Fuli many times before, because his future achievements would be extraordinary, and these people in the Yue family were just stepping stones for him.

But God played a cruel trick on her. She didn't even have the chance to meet Yue Fuli. She had asked her family to propose marriage to him before, but there was no news. After that, he continued to develop as planned and married the daughter of a merchant in Zhongzhou.

Despite this, she still did not give up, and finally could not help but reveal some details, wanting Yue Fuli to see her abilities, so that she could then stand by his side smoothly.

Who would have thought that she was targeted by Hui Yuehejiang!

He even intercepted the message she was about to deliver. How hateful!

But things have already happened. If she is not careful, she might get into trouble. She has no choice but to find someone else.

She believed that as long as she could seize the opportunity and grab the chance early on, she would be able to turn the tide!

Because she has the upper hand, it is still uncertain who will be in charge of the world in the future!

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Sangsang is willing to serve you."

Chen Sangsang smiled and bowed to him, which meant she agreed.

Upon hearing this, Yue Hejiang's smile deepened.

……

This night, some were happy and some were sad.

A sudden earthquake left many people homeless and caused countless casualties.

Especially in Xicheng, which was the hardest hit by the disaster, less than 30% of the people survived. Neighboring Wucheng, Huijiangcheng and other places were also affected to some extent.

After Si He and others rested for a night, they set off early when it was light.

Many trees had fallen on the official road, blocking it and creating a mess.

But fortunately we were riding horses. If we had taken a carriage, it would have been troublesome.

When the official road was blocked, they would take a detour and go around through the grass or mountain roads on the side.

However, they had not walked far when they saw several corpses on the road ahead. They looked like the servants of Princess Minghui from yesterday, who were killed by a fallen tree on the roadside.

As we moved forward, we encountered several corpses one after another. Most of them were killed by huge rocks rolling down the mountain. Among them were the corpses of horses, covered in blood.

Then, after running forward for a while, they saw several long cracks on the road ahead. At this time, a group of people who looked like bandits were lingering at the edge of the crack, looking for something under the crack, because there were some picked up things on the ground not far away. Although there was some mud, it could be seen that the things were quite exquisite.

In addition, judging from the traces on the ground, it is very likely that Princess Minghui's team yesterday fell into this crack in the ground.

When the group of bandits saw someone coming, they immediately picked up their knives in defense. Si He glanced at them indifferently, then rode away and ignored them.

Seeing this, the accompanying guards did the same and just guarded vigilantly.

The bandits breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they did not interfere and cause trouble. They continued to dig carefully in the cracks in the ground until they could no longer see their figures.

Si He and others hurried along the way. Along the way, they saw many people displaced by the disaster, but fortunately, there were still some kind families or merchants who set up tents and distributed porridge, so people did not starve.

After a hurried day's journey, they arrived at Huijiang City along the river.

However, when they arrived at Huijiang City, the city gates were closed and night had fallen.

They could only go to nearby villages and towns and find an inn to stay in.

In Qingtang Town, Yingfu Inn is one of the larger inns nearby, located at the entrance of the town.

This place is located along the river, about twenty miles away from Xihe River.

After getting off the horse, before entering the inn, I heard the inn was bustling with people, it was very lively.

Due to the previous earthquake disaster, some merchants or people on the road had to change their routes and take a detour, which led to good business for some nearby inns.

However, when Si He walked to the door of the inn, she heard people talking loudly inside.

"I'm not lying! I really saw that giant snake! Yesterday, before the earthquake, I was halfway up Bald Mountain. Oh my God! That snake was huge! Its body was thicker than a human!"

"I also heard that a large black snake did appear in the Naxi River yesterday. Perhaps an earthquake is about to occur, so it came out of the river, just like those strange animals."

"Hey~ Half a year ago, I heard in Zhaoyang City that there was a water monster in the river. It was also a big black snake, very large. It might be this one. Why is it swimming upstream? It swam upstream."

"Hmph~ Regardless of whether they're the same or not, they're both a nuisance! This evil beast has eaten quite a few people, and those immortal masters and Taoist priests don't even know how to deal with it!"

"What the old man said is true. If you leave such a big snake alone, it will really harm the people. But it's not easy to catch it. It hides in the deep river, and there's nothing you can do."

"This earthquake was truly powerful. I heard there's a river turtle spirit in the river, and it even surfaced today. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Is there a river turtle spirit in this West River?"

……

Si He stood at the door, listening to the conversation inside the inn, her eyes slightly cold.

Gao You and others who were accompanying them also heard it and their expressions became complicated.

At this time, someone came out and Si He stepped inside.

When the group walked into the inn, the people in the lobby immediately stopped talking and looked over.

The waiter hurried forward and offered a warm welcome.

After Si He and others requested some guest rooms, they went straight upstairs.

After entering the room, Gao You asked Si He, "Do you want me to go and ask for information?"

Si He shook her head. "No need. We're not far from here to Xihe. We can set off early tomorrow morning."

As for what the people downstairs know, I have just told them in casual conversation. You have to go and see it in person to know the specific situation.

……

The next morning, it was very lively outside the inn. People were chattering like birds, as if something exciting had happened.

The weather has improved today, the sun has risen, and it looks like today will be a sunny day.

After Si He finished washing up, Gao You knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Master, the eldest son of the Yue family has taken his men to the direction of Xihe."

Yuehe River?

Si He's eyes narrowed when she heard this. "Shouldn't he be in Changping City? Why is he going to Xihe when he's already here?"

Gao You said, "He brought quite a few people with him, and they said they were going to Xihe to catch the giant snake."

The coldness on Si He's face grew deeper, "Why would he suddenly want to meddle in other people's business?!"

As she spoke, she quickly picked up the veil and put it on, with a bad feeling in her heart.

She didn't say that she knew these people in the Yue family very well, but from the information she had learned before, she knew that Yue Hejiang would not do anything without profit. Now that he suddenly took the risk to do this, it was definitely not a simple matter!
