6. Massacre of the city
On this night, the sound of horses' hooves in Xinglong City sounded from the west of the city to the north of the city, and from the north of the city to the east of the city.
Under the cover of the sound of horses' hooves, the group hid and arrived at the south gate of the city without danger.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and many people had gathered from all directions, lining up to prepare to leave the city.
Jun Yu and his party changed out of their night clothes, dressed up as ordinary people, and blended into the crowd without a trace.
After experiencing the baptism of the eyes of countless passers-by, Jun Yu finally put down the woman he was holding in his arms: "You bear with it, and I will find you a carriage when you go out of the city." β
Qing'er was carried by him and ran for an hour or two, and her legs were already numb. At this time, she stepped on the ground, she staggered several steps, and finally grabbed Jun Yu's arm to stand firmly.
Huan'er glanced at her sideways, and said angrily: "A troublemaker still has such a squeamish face!" When our lord met you, he really poured eight lifetimes of mold! β
Qing'er was a little surprised, and hurriedly rubbed two handfuls on Jun Yu's arm: "Are you tired?" β
Jun Yu didn't answer, frowned and stared at the city gate for a long time, and asked in a deep voice, "Can we get out of the city smoothly?" β
"Yes!" Qing'er said without thinking.
After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong, and shook her head hesitantly: "...... I do not know. β
Jun Yu grabbed her hand and smiled: "Say whatever comes to mind, don't be afraid." β
Huan'er watched from the side, so shocked that her eyes almost fell out.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of them, and I don't know who was shouting anxiously: "The hour has passed, why don't you open the city gate?!" β
A moment later, the anger spread rapidly through the crowd along with all sorts of rumors:
"The gates of the city will not be opened today!"
"I heard that I want to catch a fugitive!"
"Oh my God, there's a murderer in the city?!"
"The murderer is at the gates, among us!"
β¦β¦
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous, but the most basic wind direction has been roughly determined: no city gates today!
Huan'er glanced at Qing'er mockingly: "Didn't you say we could go out?" β
The old man who was traveling with him, Uncle Zhong, said worriedly: "Closing the city, I'm afraid it's coming for us!" β
Jun Yu nodded and was silent.
Huan'er was anxious: "We have to go out of the city today, otherwise everyone will die here!" What to do now? Do you fly out with wings? β
Jun Yu clenched Qing'er's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to go out of the city, you have to rely on these people!" β
Originally, the people were fighting the idea of going out among the people, but at this moment, the people waiting to leave the city have begun to slowly disperse, how can they rely on them?
Qing'er's heart moved, and she suddenly shook off Jun Yu's hand, and shouted with all her strength: "Slaughter the city!" The Emperor wants to slaughter the city! He's going to kill everyone in Guangxing Dragon Cityβ"
Her voice was hoarse and indistinct, but she roared out with all her might, which was particularly poignant and terrifying.
"Slaughtering the city?"
"Slaughter the city!"
Panic and anger immediately spread through the crowd.
The world is at war, and the shadow of death hangs in everyone's heart from time to time. Therefore, when the people heard the word "slaughter the city", they immediately lost their minds and became frantically agitated.
"We're out of town! Let us out! β
"Kill those lackeys! Let's kill it! β
"Kill it!"
β¦β¦
Angry civilians poured into the gates, on the defenders who had not yet come to their senses.
In the crowd, Jun Yu carefully protected Qing'er, revealing a helpless and doting smile.
After some chaos, the crowd in front of them suddenly erupted into jubilation.
Huan'er climbed onto the stone lion and looked forward, dancing happily: "Master, the city gate rushed open, rushed open!" β
At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves came from the long street behind him. The frightened people shouted in panic: "It's the officers and soldiers!" The officers and soldiers have come to slaughter the city! β
