430 Night Fire
When the hourglass on the table poured out more than halfway, Bai Feng suddenly lifted off the chess game, stood up, and patted his chest with his big hand: "Born as a man, standing between heaven and earth, he will stand up to the sky and the earth!" I, Bai Feng, have ups and downs in this life, ups and downs, and I can be regarded as having experienced hardships and bumps, but the wind and rain are difficult to change a man's ambition, even if I am a seventy-year-old man, but, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, as long as Bai lives in the world for a day, I can't watch Mo Luo Xiao'er openly invade my Dongliang land, trample on my great rivers and mountains, and kill my Dongliang compatriots! Brother Wen, are you willing to follow me to do a career? Even if you die in battle and are shrouded in horse leather, you will not regret it!"
Wen Qingxiu's chest was full of blood, she straightened her chest, raised her voice and replied: "Yes, before and after the saddle, take the white handsome horse as the head." Horse leather shroud, no regrets!"
I don't know when, the obscure old Yun stood under the light, his old face seemed to instantly exude a youthful luster, he raised his fist, and shouted: "General, you have finally made up your mind, right? Okay, I have endured humiliation and burdens for all these years, but I can be regarded as waiting for your words!"
With a bang, the sword that was originally hanging on the wall was already unsheathed, Bai Feng raised his sword, "There is no turning back from the bow, from this moment on, I, Bai Feng, on the contrary, will no longer be affected by his Zhengxi child's nest!"
"Whoa-" The corner of Nanmu's table has been cut to the ground.
Bai Feng instructed the master: "Inform the brothers, let's leave overnight - all the big and small families in the mansion will set off quickly, except for a few valuables, they will not bring any soft and soft items! ”
"Yes, big brother!" Lao Yun replied crisply, and at the same time turned and ran out the door.
For a moment, the sound of footsteps, human voices, and the sound of ropes resounded chaotically in the quiet night.
Wen Qingxiu couldn't help but wander when she looked at the scene in front of her.
The night is light, and I see that in the thin moonlight, the Bai family trees in front of me are verdant, the houses are layered, and the heavy eaves are overlapped, which is prosperous and rich. This is a big family, this is Zhong Mingding's home of food! Wen Qingxiu, a poor man, has only seen such a scene in books -- does he really want to abandon these things and go out to rebel? How much courage does this take?
Wen Qingxiu felt like a dream.
"Dad—Dad, why do you want to leave all of a sudden? Where are you going?
"Run for your life—if you don't leave, your life will be hard to protect!" Bai Feng didn't bother to explain more to his son.
Bai Yulin was suddenly frightened, "But, but there are so many concubines in my room, all of them with fine skin and tender meat, how can they stand the bumps?"
Angry, Bai Feng slapped his son, "Bastard! When are you still thinking about the girls! Ask them, those who are willing to go together will go, and those who don't want to go will take the silver and leave, and they will be free from now on." ”
Bai Yulin stumbled and really went to ask his wives and concubines. He didn't believe that there would be women willing to leave him, and he expected that these lovely women would definitely choose to follow him, even if they ate bran at the end of the cape.
Wen Qingxiu noticed that at some point, there were a lot of people around Bai Feng, these people were dressed like homely servants, but in fact, they were filled with a strong aura that was difficult to hide, could it be that all these years, they were all dead soldiers that the Bai family usually kept by their side? That is, the people who secretly guarded Bai Shuai's safety all these years?
The gate of the Bai family opened, and the servants took the silver and ran away one after another, and as soon as everyone heard that they could take things at will, they took the fine and soft utensils at hand, and some even moved a white marble stone bench to take away.
Bai Feng didn't stop him, and watched everyone leave.
There are also people who are reluctant to leave like this, kneeling in the courtyard and kowtowing, crying and shouting that the old lady should take care.
A good home, just scattered, it's really a storm - Bai Feng is sad in his heart, life is not easy, he has curled up here for a period of time and lived a stable life, as tonight passes, all this will cease to exist and turn into a dream.
However, if you don't go, you can only sit at home and wait for death, a dead end.
Instead of waiting to die, it is better to fight hard.
Bloody men, how can there be reason to wait for death!
At this time, Bai Yulin cried and ran over again: "Daddy, they are all some unkind women, usually they say so good, what they are willing to follow me for the rest of their lives, and share the suffering of life and death, and now it is a real critical juncture, they only need money to leave, but none of them are willing to follow me, and say that we are going to rebel, and tomorrow will be a thief, everyone must shout and beat, only worthy of worrying and hiding in Tibet, they are not willing to suffer with me- In the end, my wife is the only one who wants to follow me—"
He was so sad for the little wives and pretty maids who cruelly abandoned him.
Lao Yun chuckled.
Wen Qingxiu looked at this scene inexplicably.
Bai Feng waved his hand: "Go, go, go, it's a burden to bring!"
At this time, the last group of servants rushed out of the gate, and Lao Yun waved his hand in the darkness, and suddenly someone raised the torches that had been prepared in his hands, lit the fire, and hundreds of torches were thrown into this grand wooden structure from all directions.
The late autumn was dry, the night wind was strong, and suddenly the tongue of fire was flying, and soon, the entire Bai family mansion turned into a sea of fire.
Don't look at Bai Feng's usual hundreds of people living in it, it is lively and prosperous, now all the servants are dismissed, Bai Yulin's women are all going their separate ways, in addition to some of Bai Feng's personal guards, there are only Lao Yun, Bai Yulin and his wife, as well as Bai Yulin's four aunts who have children, and a few children. Everyone else ran clean, and there was not a single one left.
"The wind and clouds are scattered, and they are all blown away by the rain and wind-" Bai Feng raised his hand, threw the last torch into the fire, sighed with a smile, turned around after speaking, and walked towards the gate.
The horses outside the door had already been prepared, and the men escorted the women and children to step on their horses, these horses were usually well-maintained good horses, and at this time they had already wrapped their hooves in soft cloth, and soon the horses' hooves were brisk, and they disappeared into the distance shrouded in darkness.
The people who lived around were awakened by the fire in the middle of the night, and when they woke up, they came close to check, but they saw that the gate of the Bai family was closed, and the courtyard was silent, only the fire was spreading, and the towering houses had already been dumped in the sea of fire and turned into ashes.
"Where did the fire come from? Why didn't the people of the Bai family escape? Could it be that they were all burned alive in their dreams?"
"Poor Old General Bai Feng, are you buried in the sea of fire like this?"
"We found out too late, and we're sure they're all burned to death. ”
"Alas, good people don't live long, although the Bai family has not had much contact with us poor people over the years, they have never bullied us, and they can be regarded as good people——"
"Old General Bai is a person who has great military exploits for Dongliang - it's a pity to die like this!"
……
The people and the people talked about it.
There are also well-wishers who bring household tools and bang them on the gate in an attempt to save the survivors who have not been burned.
The gate fell, the wall opened, the torches shone brightly, and all the villagers saw was a piece of rubble and ashes, and none of the Bai family's hundred and ten people were gone.
"It's a pity, they were all burned to death!"
Some elderly people knelt down at the firelight, bowed to each other, and shouted from afar: "Bai Shuai, Bai Lao General, the world is unfair, good people are difficult, you go all the way——"
