Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1810 - 1817: Juhua Rescued (3)

The situation was just as Chang Mei said, everything around was normal, except for the horses still going crazy, nothing seemed unusual.

Seeing that it was almost time, if they didn’t leave now, it would be too late. Cai Wei and Nangong Yi stood by the horse carriage for a while. Seeing that the two horses showed no signs of improvement, and it was uncertain when they would be fit to carry people, the two of them reluctantly abandoned the idea of riding and walked to a place where the coachman couldn’t see, released the white-haired tiger, and rode it towards Qixia Mountain.

The white-haired tiger was extremely fast, like lightning, they only heard the whistling of the wind in their ears, unable to even open their eyes. In the blink of an eye, they reached the middle of the mountain. Cai Wei, afraid that riding the tiger would alert the bandits and endanger Juhua, stored the white-haired tiger away when they reached the mountainside and continued on foot.

Along the way, besides the numerous inscriptions scattered around, they encountered many strange phenomena. For instance, wild cats coming out of nowhere, carrying their kittens to the treetops and screeching sharply; flocks of birds circled in the air, chirping loudly, yet refusing to land on the trees; the further up the mountain they went, the more bizarre the occurrences. As they neared the mountain top, they unexpectedly saw hordes of rats scurrying about erratically, with big rats carrying little rats, showing no fear as they passed by the two of them...

The husband and wife became solemn. When the heavens display anomalies, evildoers are sure to appear! What could be the cause that makes the animals behave so abnormally?

After walking for a while, Cai Wei had a sudden epiphany, as if struck by lightning, everything became clear to her, and she shouted loudly, "Nangong Yi, has there ever been an earthquake in the Capital before?"

Nangong Yi was taken aback and said, "Are you saying... there’s going to be an earthquake?"

"Exactly, I learned some basic earthquake knowledge in a past life. Now, these abnormal signs are all precursors to an earthquake. You should quickly return and notify the people to take cover, the earthquake might be coming at any moment!"

However, it was already too late. As soon as she spoke, the ground beneath them began to tremble, and from deep within the mountain came a distant rumble. Soon, the entire ground was shaking violently.

"Wei’er!"

Nangong Yi shouted, immediately shielding Cai Wei in his bosom, using his tall and solid frame to protect her.

As the earth shook, many rocks had already started to tremble and tumble down from the mountain top.

Cai Wei had no time to think, swiftly taking Nangong Yi into the Space.

"Are you hurt?" Without waiting to stand firm, Cai Wei anxiously asked the man, fearing he might be injured.

"I’m fine, how about you?" The man spoke while looking over Cai Wei from top to bottom, appearing very tense.

"I’m okay too, don’t worry!"

At this moment, Cai Wei was extremely anxious, originally thinking the earthquake would pass quickly, but she hadn’t expected it to last so long. She watched outside, seeing countless trees in the forest topple in an instant, with dust filling the air, covering everything!

Amidst the dust and smoke, boulders from the mountain rained down like raindrops, crashing to the ground with a thunderous sound. The whole land was trembling. She couldn’t even discern her direction, only feeling as if the place before her was splitting open. Animals in the forest were fleeing in all directions, getting caught in the crevices of the ground if they couldn’t escape in time. This experience was too terrifying.

Nangong Yi couldn’t see outside, only held her tightly—his handsome face was filled with extreme solemnity.

He was not only her husband, but also the Monarch of the Great Jin Nation. Now, with such a serious incident occurring, who knows how many people would suffer death or injury, and how many would face separation of loved ones, with broken homes due to this!
