"Fire?"

Di Shun didn't move, just put down the wine bowl, and the calmness of the superior made him not shocked.

"Is it a tunzi that has gone out of the water?" He frowned and asked, Yunzhongzhou City is several miles in radius, and there are also large and small tunzi dotted outside the city, some small tribes on the grassland that have been sinicized and displaced people who have fled from other places will build grass huts to live in them, these tunzi lack planning, and naturally there are no facilities to fight fires after going to the water, similar to the existence of slums, once it catches fire, it will often burn down the entire tunzi.

"No, no, no! It's not Tunzi, it's the grassland fire, it's the fire! The man's whole face was scorched with smoke, his nose was not a nose, his face was not his face, and only the screams of his mouth were open and closed, and a white tooth could be seen.

"Fire on the prairie?"

The hall suddenly became nervous, everyone turned their heads to each other, and some of them were anxious, and even stood up and made a gesture to go out.

The door of the hall was open, and with the man's reminder, everyone sniffed the wind blowing in carefully, and could feel a faint smell of burning.

Just now, everyone was drinking and having fun, and they didn't pay attention, but now they deliberately smell it, and they can smell it.

Di Shun threw away the wine bowl, got up suddenly, and strode out, the chair behind him turned over the table, and a large group of people followed closely in a panic.

It is impossible for them not to be nervous, Yunzhong Prefecture is located in the grassland, outside the city, except for the ten miles of fields cultivated close to the city wall, there is an endless prairie, and the grassland fire is terrible, everyone here knows it.

When a grassland fire takes shape, the fire burns everything in sight, whether it is people or livestock, and there is no way but to flee for their lives.

In October during the reign of Taizong of the Jin Kingdom, in the territory of the Bai Dadan Department of three hundred miles north of Yunnei Prefecture, a fire was caused by the thunder falling from the sky, and soon it was a prairie fire, the fire burned for nearly a month before it was extinguished by a rain, and nearly 10,000 grasslands were burned to white ground.

There are tens of thousands of people in the Bai Dadan tribe, except for some people who happened to be far away from grazing to escape this catastrophe, the whole clan has not even slag left.

That fire has been more than 200 years since now, but it has been passed down from word to mouth, remembered from generation to generation, and until now, the people of Yunzhong Prefecture know the horror of that catastrophe.

Of course, Di Shun also knew.

Smelling the air, he was anxious.

He left the official office in the city and rushed towards the city gate, which was more than two feet high, and was an excellent location for looking into the distance.

The further you go, the stronger the smell, and the more anxious Di Shun's heart becomes.

It seems that this fire will never be a small fire, and it is not good, it is comparable to the one when Jin Taizong was in time.

The city was already in chaos, and the people who got the news were scurrying around the streets, and some were running out to see what was going on; There are also those who run towards the city, crying fathers, calling mothers, calling children, and calling daughters; There are also fast-moving people who start to flee with cage packages, in short, people neighing on their horses, as if the enemy is coming to the door.

Walking down the street, I can already lean into some black flying flakes that float through the air from time to time, which are the ashes produced by the burning of grass leaves.

When Di Shun ran up to the city, there were already many people standing here.

Most of them were already stupid, standing there with tears in their eyes and not knowing what to do.

Di Shun rudely lined up the crowd, and then was stunned in the crowd.

A strong east wind blew in the sky, blowing the high banners of the city, and the sound of hunting.

The wind also blew Di Shun's robe, and some of the dust that came with it forced him to squint.

In the distance, there was a black wall of smoke, and the entire horizon was occupied by this wall, and the wall was unknown how high and thick it was.

When Di Shun was in Beijing, he saw a sandstorm, and the formation was similar to the current smoke wall.

Below the smoke wall, red and yellow fires bubbled from time to time, like electric light flashing in the dark clouds from time to time.

In front of the smoke wall, there are countless small black dots running wildly, of different sizes, with good eyesight, you can clearly see that they are people and animals on the grassland, there are camels, wild asses, rabbits, green sheep, wild boars, etc., and even packs of wolves.

These predators, together with the humans on horseback, ran for their lives, and the wolves ran beside the flock, but stuck out their tongues and had no time to bite. A large number of birds flew over the dark cloudy sky, croaking, and skimming over Di Shun's head.

From time to time, people, animals, and birds in the air were chased by the black smoke wall, or engulfed in smoke, or roasted by the heat and lost their strength, and disappeared.

"Immortal God, it's heavenly fire!"

Beside Di Shun, someone was whispering in a low voice, with indescribable fear in his tone.

There was a commotion from the city tower, and the people who entered the city and those who left the city crowded together in the hole of the city gate, and in the midst of the angry scolding, some people moved their knives.

The scream woke Di Shun, he turned around suddenly, grabbed a person by the collar in the crowd, and shouted with a black face: "Why did you report it now?!" This fire is so big, are you all blind? I skinned you! ”

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

The man, who was the commander of the rangers outside the city, exclaimed with a bitter face: "My lord is angry, the wind is too strong, and the fire burns fast by the wind, in fact, our people found out a hundred miles away, and wanted to come back to report, but the horse was not much faster than the fire, and when the rider ran back, the fire had already burned fifty miles away." ”

"Rubbish!" Di Shun threw him aside, angrily pushed the people left and right, and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Go and pack up the treasury, take everything valuable, and run! ”

With a glimmer of hope, someone came up and hurriedly said, "My lord, did you organize people to go out of the city to cut out a separation belt?" As long as you move quickly, you may be able to ...... in time."

Di Shun kicked over the person who spoke: "Then you go!" Are you stupid? The wind is so strong, the fire is coming in an instant, the city can't be saved, and you still go to cut the barrier? Whoever goes dies! ”

Di Shun's scolding was like an injection, which woke up everyone, and everyone shouted, and they began to run in a swarm.

"Hurry, hurry! In this way, in a quarter of an hour, the fire will sweep over, and the gods who are surrounded by fire will have to die! Di Shun led the guards and ran to the front, he didn't go back to clean up the softness, even the wife and children in the official office didn't want it, he got off the city tower and jumped on the horse, and rushed towards the other city gate.

A moment later, the guards helped him make his way through the heap of people like twine, and Di Shun wore the wine-drenched robe of the banquet, and walked away on horseback.

Behind him, the people in Yunzhongzhou City had already begun to smell the smell of meat in the wafting heat.

On the other side of the wall of fire, the Dali army kept a safe distance from the wall of fire, slowly stepping on the black ashes all over the ground, and advancing cautiously.

The burned grassland still had residual temperature, and the temperature was a little high, and although the horse of Changsun Hong was nailed to the shoe, it was still a little restless.

"Stop, wait a minute, and then go." Changsun Hong felt it, so he grabbed the reins: "Scouts expand the range again, keep an eye on the fire, pay attention to the direction of the wind, and be careful to turn back to the fire." ”

The herald loudly agreed and ran away in all directions, and Liu Quan, Na Tuozhi and the others gathered around him looked a little nervous, and kept looking around.

"It smells so good." Liu Quan poked the ground with his spear, poking up a piece of meat buried in the ashes.

"Natural barbecue, just no cumin." Nadazhi said to him, "I just don't know what kind of meat this is, maybe it's human ......."

Liu Quan's spear trembled, quickly threw away the meat, looked at the back of the eldest grandson Hong in front of him in fear, sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "If you do this, you will damage the yin virtue, ghost king...... It's really a ghost king. ”
