County office. Backyard.

On the bed, the two bodies were entangled and fell asleep embracing each other. These two people are Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao. The two of them are in a courtyard, and there are soldiers guarding the courtyard, and the courtyard becomes a separate space for the two. In particular, Yang Xiuqing ordered the soldiers guarding the gate not to disturb, and the empty courtyard became a world for the two.

A man and a woman are alone, and they still have a relationship early, and naturally they roll in bed again.

"Click! Click!! ”

Suddenly, the ground shook and the bed began to shake.

Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao were awakened at the same time, the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned. Yang Xiuqing was the first to react, and said hurriedly: "Hurry, the earthquake is over, hurry up." ”

"Ahh

Hong Xuanjiao reacted and immediately got dressed.

The two quickly put on their clothes and left the room. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a group of people standing at the gate of the courtyard, Bai Shiyuan, the officials of the county government, and the soldiers guarding the county government all gathered together. Because Yang Xiuqing gave an order not to disturb early in the morning, everyone was blocked out and could not see Yang Xiuqing.

Yang Xiuqing swept his eyes and found that the red light in the city had become a sea of fire. Seeing this scene, Yang Xiuqing chuckled in her heart and asked, "What happened?" ”

One of the soldiers replied, "Back to the king of the east, there are sudden fires in all directions of the city. Moreover, there were continuous explosions in the direction of the barracks, and now the fire is also burning, the situation is not good! ”

When Yang Xiuqing heard it, he knew that it was not an earthquake.

If it is an earthquake, it must be widespread, and it cannot be just an explosion in the barracks. He understood that the tremor was caused by the explosion, and after a change of thought, he immediately said: "Go, go to the barracks immediately." ”

At a critical time, Yang Xiuqing thought of controlling the army.

Only with an army and soldiers in our hands can we control the overall situation. Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xuanjiao and the two guards, plus a group of officials led by Bai Shiyuan, a group of people quickly left the county government and ran in the direction of the army. He hadn't gone far when a group of disadvantaged soldiers ran ahead.

When this group of soldiers saw Yang Xiuqing, they all showed joy.

When the two teams met, Yang Xiuqing asked, "What happened in the barracks?" ”

When the words fell, the captain of the team leader replied sadly: "The barracks are over, and the soldiers are all finished." Lord, a fire somehow broke out in the camp, and a massive explosion began to occur throughout the barracks. Most of the soldiers died, the rest were all wounded, even General Jiang was killed, and now the barracks are engulfed in flames, and the brothers are dying so miserably! ”

When he had finished speaking, the lieutenant burst into tears.

"Kick! Step on! ”

Yang Xiuqing's face changed greatly, and her body took two steps back. Fortunately, Hong Xuanjiao was quick and helped Yang Xiuqing, otherwise Yang Xiuqing would have sat on the ground.

Hong Xuanjiao asked, "What's going on?" Did it just catch fire and explode? ”

The lieutenant said, "I don't know, I didn't find the reason. Moreover, not only the barracks caught fire, but also fires were lit in all directions of the city, and now Longtan Town is already a sea of fire. ”

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, she immediately cheered up.

When it comes to his own safety, it's definitely something he can't ignore. At this moment, Yang Xiuqing briefly suppressed the pain of the fatal blow to the army, and ordered: "Withdraw, we will withdraw from the city immediately." We still have Lars' foreign army outside the city, and as long as we are out of the city, we can be kept safe. ”

Immediately, Yang Xiuqing led people to run in the direction of the city gate.

This is not the first time that Yang Xiuqing has abandoned wounded soldiers, when he was chasing Li Zhen, Yang Xiuqing had abandoned countless wounded soldiers. In order to save his life this time, Yang Xiuqing decisively chose to go out of the city and not care about the people in the barracks. A group of soldiers surrounded Yang Xiuqing and left quickly, and the city was already on fire.

Running around the city, you can already feel a wave of heat coming.

The group endured the heat and kept rushing out.

Hong Xuanjiao followed Yang Xiuqing's side, suddenly grabbed Yang Xiuqing's wrist, and said with a wary face: "King Dong, there is a large group of people running over in front, be careful." ”

Yang Xiuqing commanded the soldiers to be on guard and looked ahead vigilantly.

The person in front appeared in sight, and Yang Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, because the person who came was a foreign soldier led by Lars. Lars quickly ran to Yang Xiuqing and said loudly, "Your Excellency the East King, what happened in the city?" I saw a fire in the city, and I heard a series of explosions in the city, and I hurried in. ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "It's just right, go, go out of the city first." ”

Lars nodded, and ordered the soldiers to give way.

Yang Xiuqing took the lead and walked in front, and Lars's soldiers walked behind. As the road raced, many places on the road began to catch fire, but fortunately, Lars and his soldiers were fast and quickly left the city. Yang Xiuqing stood outside the city, looking at Longtan Town, which had become a sea of fire, wanting to cry without tears, there were tens of thousands of people, all of whom were buried in it.

All that remained, there were only a thousand foreign soldiers of Lars.

"Report!"

A foreign soldier ran to Lars's side and said in awkward Chinese: "Your Excellency, a large Qing army has been found north of Longtan Town. They were on their way quickly, less than half an hour away from us. ”

Lars said eagerly: "Your Excellency the King of the East, fortunately I sent a lot of scouts to find out the news, otherwise we would have been entangled by the Qing army, and the situation would have been worse. It's urgent, so get out of the way. ”

Yang Xiuqing immediately said: "Withdraw!" ”

The group quickly withdrew, away from the county seat of Longtan Town.

When Li Zhen led the army to the county seat, Longtan Town had become a sea of fire. He stopped here for a moment, then continued his pursuit. On the way, all the black-clad soldiers who were on duty in the city returned to the army. As they followed Lars' team, they slowly fell behind, and then they all returned unharmed.

This night, Li Zhen led the soldiers to chase after him, chasing and stopping all the way.

Li Zhen didn't really lead the army to chase after him, he just made a gesture to scare Yang Xiuqing. For Li Zhen, destroying the army under Yang Xiuqing has achieved its goal.

Yang Xiuqing, who fled back to Nanjing, was more useful.

Li Zhen was extremely relaxed, but Yang Xiuqing's heart was very uncomfortable. Whenever the soldiers reported the news that Li Zhen was about to catch up, he was worried for a while. When it came to the morning, there was no news of Li Zhen's chasing, Yang Xiuqing still didn't dare to stop, and ordered to run for another hour, and waited until it was bright before ordering to stop and rest.

At this time, Lars ordered some of the soldiers to go in search of something to eat.

After a night of running, everyone was tired and hungry, and needed something to replenish their energy. Lars walked up to Yang Xiuqing and said, "Your Excellency the East King, I have a lot of questions in my heart about last night's events, and I must ask them to His Excellency the East King. Otherwise, I'll be upset. ”

"Oh, you have questions, too?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

Lars nodded and said, "Yes, things are a little strange, let's talk about it with the East King." ”
