Chapter 186: Scarlet Dragon City
When Qiyun woke up, the sky was dark, and I didn't know how long it had been in a coma. Seeing Feng Ba lying alone on the couch, she got up and tried Feng Ba's snort, he had been out of breath for a long time, and the hall was empty, and the atmosphere was eerie.
Suddenly, Qiyun was so startled that he retreated again and again, and hurriedly rushed out of the main hall. The eunuchs and maids in the palace have been dispersed or imprisoned, and the guards of the Zhongshan palace are stationed in dangerous positions.
Qiyun stumbled and stumbled into the street, and saw that the streets of Longcheng were in chaos, and from time to time a sergeant rode by, while loudly proclaiming: "A great calamity has descended from heaven, the emperor has died, the crown prince Feng Yi is not waiting before the illness collapses, and the minister of the Chinese military department does not rush to mourn, and some people conspire to rebel and endanger the society." As the eldest brother of the King of Heaven, the King of Zhongshan ascended to the throne and stabilized the country; Among the hundred officials, those who enter the palace to meet are promoted to the second class. ”
The people avoided one after another, the stalls doing business were scattered, melons and fruits and other items were scattered all over the ground, and the sound of cries and screams resounded in the night sky.
Seeing this, Qiyun knew that something was wrong, his brain teaser was in a hurry, he suddenly thought of something, grabbed a fast horse, and went straight to the old East Palace. When I arrived at the palace gate, I saw the fire rushing to the sky, the smoke billowing out, and the entire old East Palace was hidden in the crimson firelight, and the lively crowd was gathered outside.
Qiyun was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. She jumped off the horse, grabbed a watcher, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" What's going on here? ”
The man replied, "Don't you know the way?" The king of Zhongshan has ascended the throne in the Jinluan Palace, and the edict has been issued to the world, the first emperor died, and he was called Emperor Wencheng. Hearing that the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the children and grandchildren of Emperor Wencheng to be killed, and no one was left. The crown prince Feng Yi commanded the guards of the East Palace, and the resistance failed out of the palace, and all the soldiers under him were scattered, and the crown prince Feng Yi was forced to commit suicide."
Someone else next to her heard her ask and interjected: "Many of Emperor Wencheng's princes, including the emperor's grandson, will not escape this catastrophe. Pity the two children left behind by the former prince......" the man said, shaking his head and sighing.
Before they finished their words, Qiyun's eyes almost darkened. She looked at the skyrocketing firelight, wrapped her clothes tightly, and rushed into the old East Palace like a gust of wind in the exclamation of everyone.
Entering the old East Palace, the threshold, stone floor, and steps were full of red blood, and she walked carefully, leaving bloody footprints under her feet.
The courtyard was very large, and she searched room by room, put her hands around her lips, and shouted loudly: "Feng'er, Lin'er, where are you?" My aunt has come to your rescue. Feng'er, Lin'er......"
"Anyone? Anyone else? Qiyun blinked, searched the surroundings diligently, and shouted loudly, but no one answered. All that responded to her was furious smoke and roaring fire.
Bursts of smoke choked down her throat, hurting like a knife, and the smoke made her eyes blurry and sour. Qiyun searched for a long time, and while shouting, she heard a faint voice like a cat meowing from the corner, "Auntie, I'm here." ”
Qiyun rushed over when he heard the sound, and saw a half-sized figure on the ground, it was Lin'er who fell to the ground, and his body was a broken chair and other objects. Qiyun moved away the heavy object that was pressing on him, hugged him into his arms, and kept comforting him: "Lin'er, don't be afraid, your aunt is here, she will be fine." What about Feng'er? ”
Lin'er's hand raised slightly, pointing to a dark corner, where Feng'er's figure was lying on the ground, motionless.
He raised his head and said to Qiyun with difficulty: "Auntie, my sister was stabbed in the chest and has ...... He's dead. This afternoon, Feng'er and I were studying in the study, but unexpectedly, we rushed into a guard with knives from outside and killed anyone we saw. My sister stood in front of me, and she ...... Auntie, we have already reviewed our homework today, and we are waiting for my aunt to come back and test us. My sister and I will carry it, 'Chang Tai Xi to hide his tears, mourn the hardships of the people's livelihood...... is also good at what he has done, although he has not regretted his death. 'Auntie, you say...... Is Lin'er's back good? ”
"Okay, Lin'er, you carry it so well, Lin'er is a smart and sensible child." Qiyun hugged his body that had not yet grown up, and his trembling hands caressed his immature face, crying silently.
"Auntie, Lin'er and sister are both good children, why do you want to kill us?" Lin'er asked.
Qiyun hugged him tightly, unable to say a word, tears gushing out like a river bursting its banks.
Lin'er was in Qiyun's arms and muttered, "Auntie, I'm in pain, am I going to die?" Auntie, do you say that when you die, you can be reunited with your family? When I die, will I be able to be with my father, mother, and sister from now on? ”
Qiyun's tears blurred his eyes, tears fell on his little face, and he cried: "Lin'er, you won't die, you won't ......" Before she finished speaking, Lin'er's voice became weaker and weaker, holding her hand and slowly sliding down.
Qiyun kept shaking him, and shouted with all his might: "Lin'er, you must hold on, your aunt will save you from the gang." We're going to get out, you're not going to die, you're not going to ......."
Qiyun hugged him and wanted to stand up, but his arms were weak and weak, and he couldn't stand up after struggling for a long time.
The wind howled like cracks, and the flames danced and jumped with the sound of the wind, as if mocking the madness and madness of the world. She looked up and saw that the house was already in a sea of fire, boundless, and she couldn't see where the way out was. She sat on the ground with Lin'er in her arms, her head next to him, and cried in despair: "Don't be afraid, Lin'er, my aunt is with you......"
Suddenly, a figure jumped in from the firelight, vigorous and agile, with a soaked cotton cloth on his body, and his mouth and nose covered with a black cloth. When he saw Qiyun, he rushed to her, squatted down, pulled down the mask on his face, and called, "Yun'er, I'm late." The voice was so gentle and familiar.
His cry made her tears flow for a long time. As if in a dream, Qiyun stretched out his hand and asked in disbelief, "Buddha, is it you?" ”
"It's me," Tuoba Tao hugged her hard, and then said urgently: "Yun'er, it's dangerous here, I'll save you from Lu." ”
Qiyun faced the firelight, saw that it was really Tuoba Tao, grabbed his placket hard, and whimpered: "Buddha civet, Lin'er he ......" Tuoba Tao took Lin'er from Qiyun's hand, slowly put it on the ground, and persuaded softly: "The child is dead, Yun'er's festival mourns and changes." ”
Hearing this, her heart suddenly felt like a stab, and blood flowed. Qiyun reluctantly grabbed Lin'er's little hand, and Tuoba Tao hugged her, "Yun'er, let's get out of here quickly, I'll take care of the rest." ”
His voice was firm, like a promise. Qiyun didn't know where to get the strength to stand up against him. Tuoba Tao put the soaked quilt on their heads, half-supported and half-hugged Qiyun, and rushed out of the sea of fire together.
When he went out and looked back at the old East Palace in the raging fire, Qiyun was grief-stricken and exhausted, and his eyes were black and he fainted.
