Chapter 90: Finding a Way to Survive

The fire was so big that it illuminated half of the imperial capital.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the choking black smoke rose upwards and did not drift to Emperor Qinghua's side.

Sweat slid from the corners of his forehead to the tip of his nose, and Emperor Qinghua wanted to take off the heavy armor on his body, but seeing that the soldiers still had no complaints despite sweating, he had to give up.

I don't know where to hide, and the sky is cloudless. A few impetuous soldiers have already cursed in their hearts, thief God, it won't rain at this time.

It was as if they were walking by a fire, their dry lips and sweat-soaked clothes clinging to their flesh, tormenting their wills.

There were occasional cries for help in the continuous firelight, and every time the soldiers tried desperately to save their lives, all they got was a charred corpse, or a living person burned in the fire.

Why did the crown prince Huang Hao have so many dry firewood branches, which was enough to burn such a long fire?

Why?

Emperor Qinghua was full of puzzlement, although there were a lot of cloth and grain in the imperial capital that could burn, the fire would not spread to so many places in such a short period of time. Most of the residences in the imperial capital are made of stone, which is to prevent waterlogging.

"Your Majesty, there is a fire in the southeast."

"Your Majesty, the northwest direction is full of fire at a glance."

"Your Majesty's ......"

The scouts who had been sent out had returned, and with them came bad news.

"So fire on all sides?" Emperor Qinghua's face was ugly, and he thought that Huang Hao's purpose was probably not to block their footsteps and take the opportunity to escape. Huang Hao set this fire to turn his father into a dead soul in the fire.

"How can it be justified, how can it be justified."

Emperor Qinghua was still worried about Huang Hao's blood relative not long ago, but the other party was already ready to kill him.

Angry, mixed with sadness, Emperor Qinghua felt that he was a few years old, and it was because of Huang Hao, a rebel. The depression in his chest became the raw material of anger, and the flames that burned were a little more intense than the monstrous fire in front of him.

Not far from them, a restaurant burned to the ground in the fire, and the shopkeeper knelt in a nearby clearing and wept bitterly, regretting that he had invested his life savings in the restaurant, which was about to fall into ruins.

Several soldiers saw it and hurriedly assisted the handymen in the store to take the store away. When they set up the crying shop, they only heard a few bangs, and the only remaining shelves in the restaurant collapsed.

Several corpses were burning in the fire, and the smell of meat wafted out.

The people who escaped smelled the smell, first subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and after realizing that it was the corpse of the same kind, they clutched their empty stomachs and vomited.

No matter how burly the corpse in front of it was, there was only one skeleton left. The merchants whose stomachs are several circles larger than ordinary people, their bodies even refine oil, which is usually quite precious animal oil.

The people who had no time to escape were suffocated to death in the house, and those who escaped were stoned to death by falling roof beams, and they were suffocated to death by breathing too much black smoke. These few, that few.

Emperor Qinghua saw too many people die tragically in front of him for one reason or another, and his heart was dripping blood. Some of the people shouted his name, hoping that their all-powerful Majesty Qinghua would soon return from the ancestral altar and put out the fire.

Give back their dead children, dead parents, dead relatives and friends.

However, Emperor Qinghua is not omnipotent, he is a mortal, and he is also at a loss.

He had already sent someone to pick up the Qilin Hou Wang Lie, first, he was worried about Wang Lie's safety, and at the same time, he hoped that Wang Lie could give him a good idea.

The tranquility had long since been shattered, and the sleeping people were awakened by various sounds. After they packed up their fines and brought their families, they did not hesitate to join the fleeing team. Scattering in all directions, they spread panic to more places, and half of the imperial capital fell into a panic.

Emperor Qinghua couldn't think of a reason to stop them from continuing to escape, and the fire kept extending inward, compressing their living space. If there is no way, a noble man like him will become an ordinary one among countless bones.

Wang Lie arrived.

"Your Majesty, haven't you found a way out yet?" Wang Lie was still injured and tossed all the way on horseback, and his face was much darker.

Emperor Qinghua just shook his head, he didn't want to say in person that he was really knocked down by Huang Hao, a rebel.

"Send more people, look again, look again, and always find a breakthrough in the gap. It's really not good, the last general will personally lead people to rush out of a way of life, and there is no endless road! Wang Lie instructed his subordinates to intensify their efforts to find a way out, and on the other hand, he appeased Emperor Qinghua.

However, what he said was true, if there was really no way to live, he would take the Tianlin military body to pave a way out, so that Emperor Qinghua could escape and the people would die a few less.

This is his mission of Wang Lie, and the ancestors of the Wang family have relied on the completion of such a mission to build the famous family of the imperial capital.

"Report!"

The scout sent back one.

Emperor Qinghua didn't even look over there, these scouts would only bring the news of "fire", which made Emperor Qinghua panic.

Wang Lie motioned to the scout to continue, but the scout couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, report to the Hou Ye, the lowly has found a way to escape over there." ”

"What?" Emperor Qinghua turned his head, his eyes shining.

The scout nodded, "The lowly has really found a way to live. ”

"Heaven will not stop me, heaven will never stop me." Emperor Qinghua's cracked lips were raised, and an ugly smile was squeezed out, "Quickly let the Tianlin Army catch up with the other soldiers...... No, let the people flee first. ”
