On the city wall, the ground was full of messes, there were crying children who were scattered, and passers-by whose legs and feet had been trampled off alive fell to the ground and groaned in pain. More of them are panicked people who are bumping around.

The soldiers patrolling the Five Cities had already climbed the city wall, and they surrounded some old and weak women and children in the middle, and sent them down the city wall through the exit first.

"The child was separated from his parents." The lost and crying child in Xu Miaoyi's arms was handed to the soldier of the Terracotta Division and asked, "Why are so many people blocked at the exit?" It's going down too slowly! ”

The soldier wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, "Several exits nearby, including several castle towers such as the Jubao Gate, have been blown down by the craftsmen!" People were trapped in the city wall and couldn't go up and down, even this exit was also temporarily cleaned of broken bricks and built with rope ladders, so we let the women and children go down first. This son, although you saved this child, I can't arrange for you to cut the line, and now I can only take care of women and children. ”

Xu Miaoyi is wearing men's clothes, and she is indisputable. She showed the ivory waist tag of Wei Guogong on her waist, "Have you ever seen someone who shows this kind of waist tag?" ”

The soldier shook his head, "I haven't seen it yet." ”

Xu Miaoyi handed the soldier a firework made of bamboo pipes, "Please pay attention to it with all the little brothers, once you meet it, light this fireworks to the sky and report to us, we will be grateful." ”

Leaving the crowds. Xu Miaoyi secretly analyzed the current situation: the assassins knew that the emperor and queen would come to the city wall tonight. The bombing of the exit of the city tower was to prevent the emperor from escaping, and the second was to slow down the defense of the capital and support the city tower. It can be seen that these assassins were meticulous and had been plotting for a long time, and even infiltrated the soldiers stationed in the city tower, just to cut off the emperor's retreat and complete the assassination on the city wall!

Xu Miaoyi despised the behavior of these assassins: If you want to kill, you will kill! What are these innocent people doing? Along the way, I have seen dozens of trampled corpses beyond recognition!

After the Lantern Festival, how many families will experience the grief of losing a loved one?

Who did it?

Xu Miaoyi heard a woman's scream, she hurriedly led the guards against the crowd to run there, and saw a few little hooligans doing misdeeds around a woman, the hairpin ring on the woman's hair had been snatched away, her hair was scattered, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but the placket was torn open, revealing her snow-white and round shoulders.

The woman cried out, "I have all the money in my house, give me as much as I want, don't touch me!" ”

The hooligan's gaze stuck to the woman's bare shoulders like flies, and he laughed loudly: "You slut! What kind of good family girl to pretend? Don't think we don't know you, the Oiran Mingyue girl of Qinhuai River, she only serves those powerful old men to chant poems on weekdays, where do you put us helpers in your eyes? Tonight's opportunity is rare, let the gentlemen taste it, serve comfortably, the gentlemen will not spoil you, with this face, you can continue to be an Oiran lady, ah! ”

Xu Miaoyi, who was not far away, flew the dagger in his hand, penetrated the palm of the hooligan's hand, and happened to be nailed into the brick crack of the city wall.

Seeing that the rescuers were menacing, and all of them were holding weapons, they looked like they were not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly dispersed, only the man whose palm was pierced could not get out, screaming in place, but he did not have the courage to pull out the dagger in his palm.

The woman straightened her clothes and saluted, "Thank you to the benefactor for saving me, dare to ask the benefactor's name, where is home?" ”

Xu Miaoyi pulled out the dagger and kicked the hooligan away, "Take care of the girl, two hundred steps ahead is the exit, allow the woman to go first, you go quickly." ”

Judging from Fang Cai's conversation, this woman should be a prostitute in Qinglou, and it is not easy to make friends with her. Besides, when she saw that the road was uneven, she came to the rescue, and she didn't want anything in return. I just hope that if the two younger sisters encounter a similar danger, there will be righteous people who can come forward.

Xu Miaoyi and the guards left in a hurry. The woman also turned and walked towards the exit, walked a few steps, stopped, picked up a lost ebony hairpin from the ground, and turned back to the scoundrel who was clutching his hands and screaming.

The ebony hairpin raised high fell like a meteor, and a hairpin pierced the throat of the hooligan!

The hooligan's screams stopped abruptly, clutching his blood-spurting neck and letting out a hoarse roar, his eyes almost popping out.

The woman was a little disgusted with the blood on the hairpin, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood that was still steaming, and threw the blood handkerchief aside.

The blood flowed all over the ground, and gathered into a puddle of blood in the hollow, and when the blood ran out, the puddle of blood calmed down, like a mirror, reflecting the woman's reflection.

The woman half-squatted down, she spread her five fingers as a comb, and used the blood puddle as a mirror. The slender jade fingers passed through the black waterfall-like hair, skillfully swirled and circled, and a bun was loosely curled at the back of the head, which was fixed with the ebony hairpin that had just taken a person's life.

revealed a face that was no less than that of Wang Yinnu, the lord of Beiyuan County.

God bless, Xu Miaoyi finally found her third sister Xu Miaoxi.

"Sister! Big sister! Xu Miaoxi waved her hand and shouted loudly. Xu Miaoyi saw the third sister who was dirty like a mud monkey, and she was still holding a flat pole in her hand. If it weren't for Miaoxi taking the initiative to call and recognize each other, she wouldn't have seen that the girl with this image who could immediately join the beggar gang was Miaoxi.

In order to hide her face, Xu Miaoxi's face was covered with dust, her moon-white clothes were covered with all kinds of inexplicable stains, and she was accompanied by three guards. They also found that several exits had been blown down, and along the way, there were also small workers who set arrows and set fires, and they simply stopped in place to recuperate, waiting for help.

Miaoxi fell when she was scattered, there were slight abrasions on her face and wrists, her head was stepped on a few times, and her left ear was already red and swollen.

Xu Miaoxi is a young lady raised in the boudoir, where has she gone through this bloody turmoil? Before he was forced to calm down and didn't dare to cry to attract the attention of the villain, but now when he saw Xu Miaoyi coming, he immediately hugged her waist and cried:

"Big sister! You've come to us! I knew it! I knew my sister was coming! ”

Xu Miaoyi had no intention of comforting her tearful sister and said, "Miaoqing is not whereabouts yet, let's look for her together." ”

Xu Miaoxi hurriedly stopped her voice, wiped her tears and said: "Don't look at the second sister Wen Jing, in fact, her fist and foot skills are very good, don't worry, let's find it slowly." ”

As soon as the words fell, a series of deafening roars were heard, and a burst of fire soared into the sky. Looking at the direction of the firelight, it should be the city tower of Qijia Village where the fourth sister Xu Miaojin and they went down the city wall.

Xu Miaoyi said: "Even this remote exit has been blown up, but fortunately, the fourth sister has left. ”

Xu Miaoxi asked, "Sister, is it another fine work of the Northern Yuan?" ”

Xu Miaoyi shook her head, "I don't know, let's continue to look for Miaoqing." ”

The two sisters and the guards were already ten people, and the team grew stronger, and they became more courageous, and when they encountered injustice, they came to help, and some of them, seeing that they were acting decently, simply gave up their scattered and fled for their lives, and followed the team to seek refuge.

In this way, when they traveled about a mile of the city wall, the team had exceeded 100 people, and the momentum was huge. Xu Miaoyi picked out the strong men, gave them flat burdens, sticks and other weapons as vanguard guards, and protected the old and weak women and children in the middle.

For every five people in a team, Xu Miaoyi quickly organized a team like a grass platform, and then stood in the middle and said loudly: "Folks! Tonight's Lantern Festival, the emperor opened the city tower and allowed our people to travel at night, but they were seized by the meticulous work to take the opportunity to make trouble! They killed innocents indiscriminately, blew up the towers, and cut off our back roads! Look at the corpses trampled into flesh underground, they may be our parents, sisters, brothers! ”

Xu Miaoyi raised her arms and shouted, "Catch the spy!" Revenge for blood! ”

The blood of everyone's panic and resentment was immediately ignited, and they also raised their weapons one after another, and shouted: "Catch the spies!" Revenge for blood! ”

Xu Miaoyi led the team forward, shouting "Catch the spy!" Revenge for blood! The slogan, all the way like a magnet attracted panicked passers-by into the team. Those who wanted to fish in troubled waters also put away their evil thoughts, did not dare to do anything, and even joined the team with enthusiasm.

A mile later, the ranks are already over a thousand!

Xu Miaoxi looked at her eldest sister with admiration, and Xu Miaoyi was also excited at the moment: when Han Santong formed the Ming Sect, under the slogan of "King Ming was born, purify all living beings", he immediately set fire to the plains like a spark and formed the Red Turban Army, how similar is it to the team she temporarily formed tonight?

The people are cornered and cornered, and whoever hands them a knife, a direction to go, and a chance to live, they will follow.

Even if there is no Han Santong, there will be Han Sitong; There is no open religion, there will also be a secret religion. It's just because everyone is forced to live anymore. Ants still steal life, let alone human beings who are the spirits of all things?

Xu Miaoyi and his entourage were loud and marched towards the eastern city wall like a tide. If Xu Miaoqing was still on the city wall, she and the guards would definitely be able to see this team blend in.

Xu Miaoyi secretly thought, no matter how powerful the assassins were, they wouldn't blow up all the exits of the city towers, right? All the way to the east, near the Tongji Gate, there must be an exit safe, and when the time comes, everyone will go down to the city tower together and go home.

All the way to the east, I saw the second sister Xu Miaoqing, Xu Miaoqing had two seriously injured guards around him, and two noble sons, Xu Miaoyi looked at it fixedly, and was almost so angry that she scolded people on the spot: it was actually Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, and the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who bought the eight thorns!

Li Jinglong is just that, this bought Li Ba Thorn has just united with Wang Yinnu, the lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and others to kidnap Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, in order to escape and return to the Yuan court. At this time, the lord of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had been given to marry Zhu Rong, the king of Qin, and was under house arrest by his second brother Wang Jingang in the earl's palace to marry; Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, was also locked up and has not yet come out.

And how did the culprit buy the eight thorns at ease, and he and Li Jinglong enjoyed the night tour on the city wall?

It's just unreasonable!

Seeing that the person at the head of this large-scale team was actually Xu Miaoyi. Both Li Ba Thorn and Li Jinglong were very surprised.

"Sister!" Xu Miaoqing held a sword in his right hand, his left arm was full of blood, and Miaoqing's face was splashed with a little blood, but it didn't look wolf, but there was a kind of demonic Qingli.

Xu Miaoqing said: "We encountered a mob robbery, the guards were killed and wounded, and my arm was cut, but fortunately, Cao Guo-Li Gongzi and this righteous man called A Thorn came to the rescue. ”

"Thank you both." Xu Miaoyi glanced at the eight thorns she bought, "What about your guards?" ”

Li Jinglong shrugged helplessly, "Death is dead, crowding is scattered." ”

Seeing Xu Miaoyi's suspicious gaze, he whispered, "I know you suspect that I caused tonight's riot." I can sue you, not me. At most, my strength will be kidnapped and threatened, and this time the riot/chaos is too big, and it is a bit of a desperate situation. I'm not going to do this kind of thing with no turning back. ”
