Chapter 122 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (48)

“I really couldn’t catch you, but I don’t need to catch you anymore.”

A person almost destined to die, what else is there to catch?
Isn’t that the case?

When each piece of smooth news reached Bai Tang’s hands, her furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit.

Even so, she instructed people to knock on every door, evacuate temporarily, and wait for further notice.

In matters of life and death, except for a few individuals, everyone cooperated well.

The passage of time in this world has always been constant. As the sun began to rise, people heard a loud explosion from the distant north, accompanied by some faint explosions.

Bai Tang closed her eyes, somewhat stiff.

Still couldn’t completely prevent it.

Madman!

Truly a complete madman!

Bai Tang’s hearing was excellent— she could hear things from even farther away. With the rising explosion sounds, water, free from obstacles, surged around, devouring fragile lives.

Those cries of despair, helpless calls, echoed as if right in front of her.

Each world had its own rules. If she were to intervene, it would bring about a greater disaster. This was also why the Heavenly Dao repeatedly prevented Bai Tang from using her spiritual energy.

Clearly capable, yet unable to save.

She had done her part, trying her best to avoid causing harm to more people.

Just because of Nie Suzhi alone, such a tragic scene unfolded in the world.

Nie Suzhi’s words were right— she indeed wanted to tear him apart.

If it weren’t for catching that person, Bai Tang would have suffered heavy losses. A madman who doesn’t consider the consequences, you simply can’t predict what he’ll do next.

Bai Tang took a deep breath. With things at this point, all she could do was minimize the disaster.

Clearly, in just another month, the entire country would be entering the autumn harvest. Yet, the river embankment Nie Suzhi destroyed would ruin the hard work of many people for a whole year.

Something flashed in Bai Tang’s mind, and she managed to grasp it, but her expression became increasingly unpleasant.

Ayimu, who was too busy, looked at Bai Tang standing alone in the dark, with tiny dewdrops on her shoulders. She took a cloak and draped it over Bai Tang.

“My lord, we’ve done our best— don’t be too sad.”

Speaking of it, the Minnan area should be the least affected.

“The troubles are still ahead.”

Bai Tang lowered her eyes. Nie Suzhi would certainly take further action. His goal was to cause chaos in the world, and after the flood, there would be issues like how to arrange the refugees, post-disaster chaos, and even riots, and the reconstruction after the disaster.

“We’ve done what we could, the rest is up to fate. My lord, take a rest for a while. You’ve been up all night, leave the rest to us.” Wen Yueqing also came back, expressing concern. Everyone’s eyes were filled with fatigue.

“Now, those who have completed their tasks gather at the camp for a meeting.”

Bai Tang didn’t dare to wait longer. Who knows what this madman Nie Suzhi will do next? They need to be prepared for anything, formulate a series of measures to proceed orderly.

After assembling some people, Bai Tang didn’t waste words and went straight to the point.

“Nie Suzhi’s goal is to create chaos in the world, offer human sacrifices, and make the people lament. We must take all precautions. Today, he bombed the river embankment and forcibly changed the river course of Mount Tianxuan. After the flood, the river course has changed, leading to various problems. Now, approaching the autumn harvest, be cautious about Nie Suzhi burning the crops. Regarding medicinal herbs, pay close attention…”

It went on until noon before finally coming to a conclusion.

Bai Tang was still busy— she quickly had a bite to eat and then went to various places to inspect and reassure the people.

“Your Majesty, it’s windy on the city walls. You should go back,” De Fu said cautiously.

He was almost dying of worry…

Seeing that Nie Suzhi ignored him, De Fu summoned up his courage again and said, “Your Majesty, you should attend the morning court.”
