The sky was rolling with tongues of fire, and the thick smoke could be seen even in this dark night, running in the shaking firelight, Qi Liang felt that his legs were about to break, and he wanted to take a breath, but Liu Shengming dragged him away without scruples, and even sometimes ran with the two of them.

More and more people poured in from the north gate, all of them were ordinary people who were fleeing the war, and a group of people with white cloths and red belts were also sandwiched among them. These are the subordinates who followed the third prince Zhu to get into trouble, Gui Ming was surprised, grabbed one and asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on up front? ”

The man was frightened and said, "Run! The Qing soldiers are coming over soon! ”

Gui Ming asked urgently, "Aren't you attacking the north gate?" ”

The man said: "I can't take it down!" It's over, let's run! Following more people coming from behind, he struggled to break free and Gui Ming turned around and ran.

"Shizi! The North Gate is terrible! Gui Ming didn't have time to pay attention to that person anymore and ran to Qi Liang's side.

"What should I do?" Qi Liang squatted on the ground drooling, and he gasped three times in one sentence.

At this time, a strong man came over and hugged his fists and said, "But Wu Shizi? ”

Qi Liang glanced at it and said hesitantly: "Exactly!" ”

The man bowed: "Li Zhu under the seat of the third prince!" ”

Gui Ming approached Qi Liang and said in a low voice: "This person is indeed Li Zhu, a subordinate of the Third Prince of Zhu, and one of the heads of Zhong Sanlang Xiangtang!" ”

Qi Liang stood up with difficulty and said politely: "I don't know what General Li is looking for Xiao Wang?" ”

Li Zhu said in frustration: "This move has failed, the third prince asked the prince to retreat to the south gate quickly, and we can still hold on for a moment and a half!" ”

"The South Gate was taken?" The crowd rejoiced. Qi Liang was very excited, and clenched his fists: "Then there will be General Lao Li!" ”

Li Zhu led the way in front, everyone was happy and Du Guiming and Qian Yunfang were worried, Gui Ming said in a low voice: "Shizi! It's not safe to go! ”

Qi's conscience tightened, and he heard Qian Yunfang say: "Even if you can get out of the city this time, it will fall into the hands of the third prince Zhu!" ”

Qi Liang's thick eyebrows tightened, and he resolutely said: "Don't go out of the city!" ”

Gui Ming and Qian Yunfang were surprised, pondered for a moment, and Qian Yunfang praised: "Wonderful! Do the opposite, wait for the wind to pass before finding a way out of the city! ”

Qi Liang, who came in later generations, only remembered a famous saying: The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Gui Ming asked, "How can you hide from the third prince of Zhu?" ”

Qian Yunfang glanced at Huang Lianqiang, and said: "Huang Lianqiang is similar to the prince, you can let him pretend to be the son!" ”

Gui Ming praised and added: "The master, Tang Nan, and the booklet will protect the prince and quietly retreat, and I will lead everyone to rush out of the south gate!" ”

The three of them said they would do it, and after Qi Liang, Qian Yunfang, Tang Nan, and the booklet retreated unconsciously, Gui Ming asked Huang Lianqiang to take off his black clothes, smear some mud on his face, and everyone rushed south with layers of guards.

Qi Liang and the four of them walked from Qian Yunfang to a hidden line house, Wang Dong's house was impossible to go, maybe it had already been destroyed by Li Fenxian with his troops.

Upstairs, Princess Jianning was pacing back and forth, she secretly prayed, hoping that the Empress Dowager would be fine, the emperor would be fine, and that he would succeed in escaping, and she was extremely conflicted. The fire grew louder and louder, and the shouts became louder and louder, but at last she put more of her mind on the royal family, and went to the window, and looked worriedly to the northwest, where most of the sky was red, and by the red light she saw countless figures running in panic in the street.

How did this happen? Did he make it all up to him? Living with him for so many years, how much power can he gather under his nose? Princess Jianning was skeptical.

The flickering firelight reflected a strange beauty on her beautiful face, and her distracted eyes blinked, sweeping the street, and suddenly she opened her mouth in surprise, and stuck her head out of the window in disbelief, and opened her eyes to see what a familiar figure it was!

Not far downstairs, four sneaky figures were muttering something, and Princess Jianning stretched out her hand excitedly to scream, and then covered her mouth in consciousness. She wanted to scream but couldn't, which made her so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Princess! What are you looking at? Sang Lanzhu walked over.

"Ahh Didn't see anything? Princess Jianning was so startled that she turned her back to block Sang Lanzhu's sight.

Sang Lanzhu was suspicious, stretched out her head to look out, and Princess Jianning hurriedly grabbed her: "Sister Lan!" Nothing to see, let's go sit over there! ”

Sang Lanzhu became more and more suspicious, squeezed over, and looked out, Princess Jianning closed her eyes in pain.

"What! Princess, what are you nervous about? "Sang Lanzhu is inexplicable.

Hearing this, Princess Jianning turned outward, vaguely a figure went to the northwest, and the three figures disappeared into the night due north, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said nothing!" You don't believe it! Her eyes were fixed on the north direction, and this was probably the last time she saw him.

In the early morning, smoke still filled the sky, but the fire was largely extinguished, and the city of Beijing gradually returned to calm. The streets are full of Qing soldiers patrolling, searching and arresting, the third prince of Zhu who happened in the twelfth year of Kangxi called the "Zhongxing Uprising" completely failed, except for the third prince of Zhu who escaped by luck, a group of backbone Huang tailors, Li Zhu, etc. were killed in battle, Zhou Quanbin was not spared, and his home was raided by the ancestors of the Zhenghuang Banner.

The "Zhongxing Uprising" implicated countless ordinary people, and everyone in Beijing was panicked and fled out of the city and west. In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and make every effort to deal with the rebellion of the three feudatories, Kangxi successively issued a holy edict of "pacifying the people" in a few days, ordering that except for the arrested rebels Ling Chi and beheaded, all their relatives should be exempted from punishment, and the city of Beijing gradually regained its vitality.

A few days later, a news circulated in the city of Beijing: Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, died! Someone found a corpse in a valley, and the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion sent a disgrace to inspect the corpse, the corpse was exposed to wind and rain, and was eaten by mountain wolves and wild dogs, which had long been unrecognizable, but the waist card and jade ring on the body confirmed that it belonged to Wu Yingxiong. When the victims heard the news, they spontaneously went to the valley to mourn and set up a tomb for them.

This news quickly spread all over the country, and some people rejoiced, some wept, some were angry, and some regretted.

There is an old man in the city of Beijing, his daily work is to get up early in the morning to transport dung outside the city, because he is hunched back, and a high peak rises on his back, like a camel's hump, so people call it "hump", and "peak" and "dung" sound is close, so there are good people who call him "camel dung"!

Old man Tian was in his fifties, had no children and no daughters, and his braids had long since turned gray, and he got up this morning to transport the feces collected by every household to the outside of the city as usual. There was snow on the road, the carriage staggered slowly and hard, and the old man Tian had a whip in his hand, but he was reluctant to whip it, the horse depended on him, and was as old and weak as him.

"Roar, ......" The wheel was stuck, and the old man Tian bluffed and pushed hard.

The carriage was crooked twice, and the wheels finally came out, but a dung bucket lid couldn't stand the shaking and loosened, and the stinking feces and urine spilled out.

At the north gate, several guards were stretching their waists and yawning, and now it was dawning, showing that they had just woken up. Hearing the sound of carriages in front, they knew that "camel dung" was coming, and Tian Laohan was the first to go out of the city gate every day. Today was different from usual, they not only heard the sound of the carriage but also smelled the pungent stench, and they wanted to jokingly make a joke about the old man Tian as usual, but they covered their noses and scolded: "Dead dung camel! What the hell, it stinks! Come on! Come on!! ”

Old man Tian couldn't hold his back at 90 degrees: "Old decay should be damned!" Damn it! ”

"Get out of here!" Someone kicked the old man Tian, and someone hit the carriage with a spear.

"Drive!" Old man Tian was forced to finally whip his horse, and the horse sped up with his steps.

Five or six miles out of the city, it was already dawn, and the old man Tian drove the carriage to a hidden place, opened the lid of a dung bucket in the middle, and poured out the dung, only a thin layer was extremely incommensurate with the huge dung bucket. Then, Old Man Tian cleaned the inside, wiped it with the weeds on the side of the road, then tore off a layer of sticky cloth, and finally pulled out a wooden cover, which was impressively curled with a person.

"That's it! Come out! Old man Tian knocked on the barrel.

The man stuck out his head and stood up, and he fell unsteadily, so he had to hold the edge of the bucket with his hand, not wanting to make his hands full of feces, but it was Qi Liang.

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle! "Just now, he stayed in the barrel for too long, his hands and feet were numb, and he suddenly stood up, dizzy, and lost his balance.

"Childe! Come out! It's okay! "Tian Laohan didn't know Qi Liang's identity, and this matter was handled by the third hidden line.

Qi Liang helped Tian Laohan to jump out and hurriedly wiped his hands in the snow, his body was stinky, no matter how many layers of protection the wooden barrel had, there was still some urine leaking into him, and when he jumped out, he encountered a lot, which made him uncomfortable.

Tian Laohan was used to it, and just looked at Qi Liang and smiled.

After making it for a while, Qi Liang felt cleaner, took out a silver ticket and handed it to Tian Laohan, and said with infinite gratitude: "Uncle! It's frightening to you, you keep this silver ticket, don't work so hard in the future, spend your old age in peace! ”

It was a silver ticket of two hundred taels, and Tian Laohan was flattered and pushed: "Childe! No! The old man has already received the money! ”

Qi Liang smiled and forcibly put it into Tian Laohan's hand: "Take it!" With that, he turned and walked away.

Tian Laohan stood in the cold wind and looked at Qi Liang's back, grateful: "Good man! ”

Greatly recommend, vote, let me rush up!!
