The tongue of fire is blazing, like the tongue of the devil, so sultry. The air was so hot that the people in the pagoda were soaked, and they had to think about escape, even if it was better to jump and be stoned to death than to be burned to death! And if you jump separately, you might be able to pick up a life! At this time, none of them had the extra mind to resent Xue Wanche, who had lured them here and set this fire. But when they escape, needless to say, it will be crazy revenge.

On the city wall of Yangzhou City, the soldiers guarding the city saw the billowing smoke, and immediately beat the big drum on the city tower, and the rapid drum sound alarmed all the people in Yangzhou City. They raised their heads and saw the rolling clouds that covered the sky, and they were all shocked, knowing that it was autumn when the weather was dry and dry, and if a fire broke out, the result would be very strict, so they all ran out of the city with buckets and rushed to put out the fire.

Yangzhou City water system is developed, especially after the Grand Canal is dug through, it is a large water network, there are many rivers in the city, as well as small lakes, etc., these water sources make Yangzhou City a little fire, even if there is a fire, it will be quickly extinguished. Therefore, when the people of Yangzhou City saw the fire and smoke outside the city, they immediately ran to put out the fire with only empty buckets.

Yangzhou was boiling, as if the end was coming, and the people of Yangzhou rushed out of the city gate one after another, making the soldiers defending the city feel a lot of pressure. It's not that I'm afraid that these people will make a civil uprising, after all, Li Tang's rule has gradually stabilized over the years, even in this rich Yangzhou. The people lived in abundance, and it was completely impossible to rebel or anything. What they fear is that these people will be congested, resulting in mutinies and stampedes.

But when the people of Yangzhou rushed to put out the fire. A group of iron horsemen arrived here in a long time, all of them wearing iron armor, holding steel guns and spears, and the dark armor was rolling from a distance like a surging tide. Under their crotches, the manes of the horses of the gods were flying, and the hooves of the horses were rolling up the yellow dust on the ground, and the sky swept by like a sun.

"My lord, the nine-storied pagoda in front has arrived, do you want to put out the fire?" On the horses of the gods. A young man was bowing down to ask for instructions from another person, and the person he asked for instructions covered his cheeks with a visor, and behind the black armor was a scarlet cloak, fluttering with the gallop of the war horse, and the silk gold thread on the cloak outlined a delicate pattern, which looked lifelike in the wind, and was unusually gorgeous.

"We don't need to put out the fire, we will keep watch down there and arrest the guy who escaped just now to General Ben. This time that kid did a good thing! Since he is so polite, General Ben is also disrespectful! Check out the ready-made cheap! There was a deep voice from behind the mask, and it was blocked by the iron armor and it seemed that the urn sound was angry, but it was not old to hear. Obviously not an older person.

"Then we'll wait for the group of people on the tower to jump down!" As soon as the young man rode his horse, he rushed forward and walked away: "Listen, big guy, we will enclose this tower first." Waiting to pick up the salted fish! ”

So the war horse galloped around the nine-story pagoda. In a few moments, the tower was fenced off. Thousands of cavalry surrounded this nine-story tower with three layers inside and three layers outside, which can be called airtight.

Xue Wanche was galloping, although there was a burst of fatigue on his body, but he didn't dare to stop, because he knew that he would be caught up if he stopped, behind him, a group of more than a dozen cavalry was chasing up violently, these people Xue Wanche didn't know who sent them, but obviously the comer was not good, because in them, Xue Wanche felt a deep hostility, like a hare stared at by a goshawk, he felt that deep chill.

"Haha...... This man is still running so fast, do you think we should chase him like this and make him tired to death? "A very young cavalryman, looking at his appearance, is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but the words of such a child make Xue Wanche feel a chill, what kind of vicious mind does this have to be such a bad taste? Exhausting people to death, won't Lao Tzu escape? You turtle grandsons, who gave you so much confidence to believe that Lao Tzu is the meat on your chopping block? Xue Wanche was furious in his heart, but he had no way to vent it, so he had to run harder, thinking about how to get out as he ran.

Just when Xue Wanche was busy running for his life, in front of the pagoda, this team of cavalry and those dead soldiers of the family clashed head-on, and several sturdy figures rushed left and right in the encirclement of a large group of cavalry, and the long knife in his hand was also brandished impermeable, but he couldn't stop it, because there were too many enemies, and they might be able to cut these people under the knife in a single look, but the cooperation between these people was unusually tacit, often when their long knives were cut out, There are several spears stabbing at them in their backs, and if they don't save themselves, although they can cut the enemy in front of them under the sword, they will also be picked at the tip of the spear and become someone else's military bargaining chip. This is what they don't want to do, it's not that they regret death, but they feel that it's not worth dying like this, and there is still their own master on the pagoda waiting for them to save it. If you fight for your life here, and you miss the opportunity to save your master's family, then the gain outweighs the loss.

But with so many enemies surrounding them, even if the big men on the upper floor jumped down and escaped from the fire, they would inevitably become prisoners of the ranks, it was a dilemma, whether to be caught or burned here, they weighed it for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people below must be bad at coming, and I don't know if there is a good plan?" Cui Jing asked out loud, at this time, on the third floor of the nine-storied pagoda, the smoke and dust were also burning, and the smoke and dust made everyone's eyes cry, and there was a feeling of suffocation, which made them feel even more like a year.

"It's better to die than to live, whoever wants to be burned to death will stay, and our brothers will go down first! If you don't fall to your death, it will be the lives of our brothers if it falls into the hands of those people! As he spoke, Wang Yue walked towards a window with his younger brother Wang An, and then said to the few dead soldiers behind them, "Now is the time for you to be loyal to the Wang family!" ”

The faces of the few dead soldiers behind them changed at this time. No one thought that this would be the result, in order to protect the Lord's family. That's their business, but why do they seem so helpless at this time? Could it be that their loyalty to the Wang clan is fake? These people themselves asked themselves this in their hearts. But the answer is that they are indeed loyal to the Wang family, but why are they so reluctant?

In fact, this qiē is because they were the first to be abandoned, the two brothers of the Wang clan for their own lives, they can give up their lives for the Wang clan without hesitation, which makes them have a feeling that the bird is hiding the bow, but it is different, if in the battle, for the master to block the attacking long knife, then they will not frown. This is a complete testament to their loyalty. But what is the reluctance in the heart?

It turned out to be because of the comparison, and now in this nine-story pagoda, there are more than ten great families, and the main families of these great families all came with a different number of dead soldiers, but they were the first to be abandoned, and they were the first to be used as a meat pad under the main family, and they were to be thrown to death. The so-called no widow. And suffering from inequality, it is precisely this reason, everyone is a man who can throw his head and spill blood for his family, but he is the first to be abandoned by his master. Such subtlety is very strange.

It's not just those private soldiers of the Wang clan who feel strange, but the rest of the family also have a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. The so-called lips and teeth are cold, although they were all hostile before. But now it is on the same front, and there is a precedent for the Wang family. Then their fate is already sealed. This makes them feel sad, the present of these people is their near future.

"Jump! We have a little martial arts, maybe we won't fall to our death! One of them thought to himself and rushed out of the window first.

The heat rushed in front of him, and for a moment he felt that his eyebrows and beards were completely burned, and he smelled a scorching smell. But the feeling of falling in mid-air made him not have the heart to feel this discomfort, and when his feet were empty at that moment, he felt the heart in his chest suddenly lift, the feeling of having nowhere to focus at all, the feeling like when you are sleeping, so that he couldn't help waving his hands in mid-air, yearning for a vain attempt to grab something to stabilize the rapidly falling body. But this qiē was all in vain, when he flew and jumped, he was destined to fall to the ground after a second or two, as for whether he would fall to his death, break his hands and feet, it all depended on the will of God. If you are lucky and fall on the grass on the side, then there is still a chance to survive, the big deal is to be injured, but if you fall directly on that piece of bluestone slab, then it will be a fracture or a death.

With a leader, then it becomes easy for all of them, after all, he can do it, so why can't we? People have a herd mentality. They may not see whether the person who fell to the ground is dead or alive, but there is still hope for jumping, and if you don't jump, you can only die, and it becomes not so difficult to choose after someone sets an example.

So, under this pagoda, like pies falling from the sky, one by one the big living people fell down like this, or smashed on the stone slab and fell directly into silence, or fell on the grass, and then wailed, in short, this qiē cheapened the cavalry waiting below, and they did nothing like this, just picked up these people one by one on the ground, and then took them as their own prisoners.

After a short period of 'human rain', the pagoda was quiet, but under the pagoda were corpses lying on the ground, and there were moaning guys.

Because of a layer of meat pads, the heads and reserve heads of these families have not died, but Wang An of the Taiyuan Wang clan and the stubborn old man of the Fan Yang Lu clan have died, but these two are called An, but they are all dead, which shows how unrealistic these families and what they say, and even the names are not reliable, do you still expect them to speak?

"Haha...... Yes, we have picked up so many fat sheep, and this time, we have made a fortune! Come on, did you catch that Xue Wanche? The young lieutenant general was asking with a high spirit, riding on a war horse, this horse was much taller than other people's war horses, his limbs were strong and powerful, and his muscles were full of explosiveness.

The young man rode on a horse, holding a snow-white long knife in his hand, which was like a snow-white horse when he waved it in his hand, and his childish face pretended to be so fierce and showed the slightest hideousness. The horses under their crotches are also gently scraping their front hooves, as if they are cooperating with their masters.

"Report to the adjutant general, that guy ran away!"

"What...... Are you pigs? The boy shouted and cursed. (To be continued......)
