Chapter 19 The Imperial Capital is on the Flames

Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei Xiaowu, his eyes were distracted, his whole body was out of strength, and he sat on the dragon chair with a butt.

Looking outside the hall, between heaven and earth, it seemed that a red line of fire had risen, constantly expanding, coming towards him.

"It's over...... It's all over......" he muttered, knowing that the tide was over.

Since the imperial court moved south, Luoyang, the imperial capital that has been in operation for 40 years, is about to be burned down in this form today?

As the battle reports from the front continued to come, a depressing atmosphere filled the palace.

Not only did the four gates of the southeast, south, and northwest all fall, but even the Water Gate and the Dharma Gate were captured.

The tide is over.

Unable to return to the sky.

"Your Majesty, run away!" Dugu petitioned. "If you don't prepare, it's too late."

When all the people in the main hall heard this, they didn't move, and one hundred and ten pairs of eyes were staring at the emperor.

And Yuan Xiu was still indifferent, and mechanically poured wine into his mouth.

"If we are caught here, the rest of us, the big deal is to resign and go home to farm, but what awaits Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it?" Yang Ying only interjected. "Emperor Xiaozhuang's spirit in the sky may still be in Luoyang watching everything that is happening, maybe it is not possible."

Yuan Xiu also immediately thought of his own filial piety Emperor Yuan Ziyou, who originally had imperial talent, and even faced Er Zhurong, who was stronger than Gao Huan, how did he end up?

No way! I can't do that!

Sit back and wait, waiting not only to be abolished, but most likely to be eradicated.

In that case, not to mention the original ambitions and ambitions, even the current comfortable and luxurious life will be in vain.

No way! I have to live, I have to escape!

Yuan Xiu quickly made up his mind:

"Pass my will, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will quickly prepare the imperial opinion! I'm going to Guanzhong to make a round! ”

Dugu breathed a sigh of relief.

And Yang Ying just looked at the weakening sky outside the window, lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

——

The sky is getting darker, and the night of war always comes very quickly, but it is unusually long.

Pei Guang took the "wolf rush horse", took advantage of the fire everywhere in the city, and rushed to the south gate of the imperial city in the chaos.

"Who will come down to the city?" As soon as the garrison shouted out, a chain that reached in was wrapped around his neck and pulled down the tower.

Then, before his subordinates could react, hundreds of iron cables were concocted like a law, and a hundred and ten people were brought down.

The Imperial City snapped its fingers in an instant, and it was self-defeating.

Pei Guang didn't even look back, and the green tiles on the city directly led the team along the slender and vast palace road, flying over the towering pavilions, walls and statues on both sides, and went straight to the center of the palace.

"If it goes well, I will slash the emperor on the spot, and the crow will let me carry the burden of many years out of thin air, and I will be able to completely unload it." Pei Guang thought like this, and quickly stepped up.

Horses' hooves roll in my ears.

Pei Guang's thoughts didn't know why, but they were like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, returning to a long, long time ago.

Maybe it's not that long, but for Pei Guang, it's like a world away.

Pei Guang has always been a guest general in Jinyang, and he has always shown people with an image of heroic combat and strong martial arts.

It is the well-deserved young master of the Pei family, Pei Na's brother.

That's all right.

But all this is based on the fact that he is the adopted son of the old man Pei Qing.

Because it is an adopted son, this foundation is not stable.

In fact, his real name is Yang Guang, and he is Yang Ying's twin brother.

According to legend, the Hongnong Yang family is gifted, and every baby boy in the clan is born with special abilities.

In legend, this is a force that can influence the imperial power and shake the world.

Eight years ago, Yang Zhen, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, was promoted to Taicang Order and General Jianyuan, and moved his family to Ping'anfang, Luoyang West City, and was neighbored by the Dugu family.

After Chen Qingzhi's army was defeated and retreated to Southern Liang, the puppet emperor Yuanhao struggled several times, but was finally defeated.

Most of the rebel troops left behind in the city were bandits who had just accepted recruitment. In order to survive, he actually came up with a bad move: kidnapping Dugu's family members who stayed in Luoyang City as he wished, and coercing Dugu to give up the Fukou Pass guarded by the town as he wished, so that he could leave the Gyeonggi area safely.

So he took advantage of the chaos to kidnap the young Dugu Panruo and Dugu Lianxin.

Of course, it is impossible for the loyal Dugu to give up an important pass for the sake of his two daughters.

But the Yang family has always valued benevolence and righteousness, and decided to use their own strength to save the two girls.

So Yang Zhen took Yang Ying and Yang Guang's two sons, and more than 100 soldiers, to pursue the gangsters all the way. Finally, near the north gate of Luoyang, Dugu Lianxin's heart was retrieved.

But Dugu was taken out of the city.

Yang Zhen was at a loss and wanted to write to his good friend: Hou Mo Chenshun, the general of Qianniuwei, to see if he had any other way, or to use the power of the government.

Before the letter was written, he found that his eldest son, Yang Ying, was missing.

It turned out that Yang Ying did not obey his father's arrangement and stayed in place, but single-handedly continued to pursue out of the city.

Speaking of these two brothers, although they look similar, their personalities are diametrically opposed:

The elder brother Yang Ying is naturally impatient and reckless.

The younger brother Yang Guang is calm and calm, with a steady mentality.

Yang Zhen saw that Yang Ying was gone, and he couldn't take too much care of it, so he was busy taking Yang Guang and leading his soldiers out of the city to search.

After Yang Ying went out of the city alone, the bandits marched eastward all the way, and finally stopped Dugu Panruo in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Huh? The little doll has the guts to chase so far away. It's a pity that luck is not good, I'm going to die here soon, what are my last words, let's say a few words first! ”

Yang Ying was not afraid and fought with him, but he was outnumbered and was about to die.

At the last moment, I don't know what happened, this child turned out to be like a god descending from heaven and possessed by a god, exerting a strength and speed far beyond his age, and even far beyond ordinary people.

When the bandits saw that the momentum was not right, they didn't care, threw down the prajna, and quickly fled.

Later, the young Pranya, regardless of his own danger, comforted the crazy Yang Ying and successfully helped him regain his normal consciousness.

By the time Yang Zhen found the two children, the two were already nestling up to each other, sleeping in the roadside pavilion at dusk.

After sending the two girls back to Dugu Mansion, Dugu got the letter from home as he wished, and hurried back.

In the midst of a thousand thanks, Dugu made a marriage as he wished, and vowed to marry his children when they grew up.

I don't know if it was inadvertently wrong, or if Dugu preferred the more bloody lotus heart as he wished, and even asked Yang Ying's fiancée in the book, and the name of Dugu Lotus Heart was put on the book.

Three days later, at night, Praruo learned about this through her mother, Mrs. Guo, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of her father's last night at home to meet her father, state her mind, and rewrite the covenant, but unexpectedly, the screams and shouts of killing next door suddenly appeared.

That night, the Yang family was tragically destroyed by a group of masked strongmen, with 71 mouths up and down, and almost no one survived.

It also lit a raging fire, which burned all night, and the fire shone on half of Luoyang City.

The next day, after the fire was extinguished, the people in the market worked together to find sixty-nine bodies that were unrecognizable.

And the two children, both of whom are gone.

The sky has eyes, the sky has mercy, and he and his brother have survived.

Pei Guang thought so.

He was looking forward to the day and night when he could meet his long-lost brother again.

But I didn't expect that when I came back to my senses, it turned out to be on the battlefield of Luoyang, on such an occasion, in this way, unexpectedly.
