In such a noise, even at night, no one dares to really rest. When the sun set, there were already many places in An Lu where there were fires, and the flames were blazing, making everyone who saw it feel that a big stone had been pressed in their hearts.

Yang Chengzu looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "When it needs to rain, why is it not raining." It rained every day a few days ago, but now it's not raining, and God also wants people's lives. ”

Hao Qingqing couldn't stay in the back house, so he came to the front yard with a bow, stood beside him and said: "I didn't expect that they could make such a big fuss and attack the state city, this kind of thing was unthinkable in the past." Once the imperial army comes, won't they die? The four armies outside the country have all gone south, and what do they think about raising troops at this time. ”

"The thoughts of madmen and stupid people are very difficult to fathom, and I have suffered such a loss, and I have already understood. If you think about their behavior with reason and logic, you are doomed to miscalculate. They felt that the southward movement of the four armies was a good time to rebel. When the officials and soldiers go out of the court, the earth shakes the mountains, and they want to recruit husbands and apportionments. As long as the people are overwhelmed by the pressure of the government and rise up to rebel with them, these people are equivalent to having an infinite source of soldiers. For each more farmer who joined the rebels, there was one less farmer in the court and one less soldier in the army. The two sides grow and disappear, this kind of business, the rebels do not lose. ”

The lanterns and torches shone brightly, and at night, the slaughterhouse of the palace killed a few fat pigs, so that the soldiers in the front yard ate a meat meal. It is said that now in the funeral, the princesses and their daughters are all vegetarians, and the people in the house are also trying to ask for vegetarianism. But at this critical moment, all rules and regulations have to give way to reality. There is a military salary and a reward, and then put on that mourning clothes, remembering the benevolence and righteousness of King Xing at the beginning, it really aroused the hearts of the generals and soldiers to hate the enemy.

Hao Qingqing accompanied Yang Chengzu to stand on the wall and look down, the autumn wind blew her cloak, and she was wearing a thick coat from the palace, and she didn't feel cold at all. As long as you are by this man's side, it is like putting a brazier beside you, and it is warm from the heart. She is a night eye, with the best eyesight, and suddenly took off the bow from behind her back, "Someone is coming".

The guards at the top of the wall were also on guard, some people gathered lanterns and torches in this direction, and some people set up various kinds of firearms. Yang Chengzu doesn't care about firearms, and he doesn't reject firearms, no matter what, it's always right to hit with firearms when the enemy comes.

The people over there gradually got closer, and Yang Chengzu also found that the people who came were sparsely scattered, not in a formation, and the number of people was only a few dozen. Even if these people are all characters who fly off the wall, in front of the current defense force of the palace, that is, the result of giving away people's heads, what are they here for.

"Open the door, open the door! We are from the Zhizhou Yamen, Wanzhou Mu and Wan Gongzi are here, open the door and let us in. There is an official seal here as proof! ”

Walking in front was a stout man, and as soon as he reached the base of the wall, he held a seal box high above his head, and the man knelt under the wall. A noose was prepared on the palace wall, and someone rode the hanging blue and went down with a lantern, and shouted after a while, "It is indeed Wanzhou Mu and Wan Gongzi who came, and they were both injured." ”

The guards originally arranged outside the palace have withdrawn to the palace to defend the wall, and the gate of the palace has been bolted a few times, and many sand pockets have been blocked, which is inconvenient to move, and the entry and exit can only rely on hanging blue. There are so many people, it takes a while to hang them, and the first one in the blue is three people, it is the stout man and the father and son of the Wan family. This An Lu's parents, as well as An Lu's talented son, are now mixed with blood, and they look very embarrassed.

"The state yamen has been broken by the rebels, and the old man has broken through the siege, and the entire yamen, I'm afraid that there are only us who are alive." As soon as the man had gone up to the wall, someone pointed a bow at him, and then he searched his body, and then he was pressed to his knees. The man also knew that this was an extraordinary time, and the other party couldn't say that it was wrong to do this, so he didn't get angry, but patiently explained:

"I'm the Yamen's catcher, Wang Lei. These refugees rebelled, and the Anlu camp also rebelled, and it was they who took the refugees to break through the yamen. They also took the east and west warehouses, and these people also took the refugees to attack those big families, and they went crazy, all crazy. ”

According to the Ming official system, officials close to the people can be judged to die if they lose the city. If Wantong escapes from Anlu, it is very likely that he will not be able to get rid of the capital crime in the future. Therefore, after the yamen was breached, he broke out of the siege under the escort of the arrester, and he could only escape to the palace after thinking. In this way, in principle, he is still in the city, and in the future, he can still be regarded as a commander, at least there is hope of turning over and fighting a lawsuit.

But in the past, he had a holiday with the palace, and at this time, whether the palace accepted him or not, he was also uncertain. Wan Jiashu didn't know martial arts, and when he ran away to protect his father, he carried an arrow with him and screamed in pain.

When the governor of the palace, Shi Yuan Zonggao, heard that their father and son had fled in, he rushed over as soon as possible and said: "Leave it to me as soon as the governor and the ya, the good medical center has been prepared, and there are all kinds of wound medicines, so you can treat them without delay." ”

"I have a long history of labor, and after taking the medicine, I may still have something to ask Wanzhou Mu."

At this time, Wantong's shelf couldn't be put up, after all, even if the palace threw him out now, he couldn't do anything. And falling into the hands of refugees is a dead end.

His wife, as well as the maids and maidservants in the house, the groom cook, and a personal long-term retinue, were all lost inside, and I am afraid that they will all die. These refugees are now a group of evil ghosts and Shura, and I am afraid that they will not be able to bear the sin if they fall into their hands.

Some of those refugees did think that he was a good person, and the fact that their father and son were able to escape was the result of some refugees releasing water. However, more refugees regarded him as an enemy, believing that they were not well fed and clothed, and that it was the responsibility of the magistrate that the court did not guarantee that their family would not suffer from cold and starvation, and that they would not have accidents, and that they were eager to kill him as soon as possible.

The loss of the Yamen, the failure of all the previous policies, and the several blows of the Anlu Battalion's anti-water made Wantong seem to have aged ten years overnight, and the whole person was a little unenergetic. When Yang Chengzu came in, he didn't seem to see it, he just lay on the bed, not knowing what to say.

"Wanzhou Mu, in this situation, this is not the time to say kind words. I don't intend to comfort you, for such a big thing, you will definitely come out to take the blame, but only the living can take the blame. If you die, then you will not be carrying a pot, but a pot of, and then your name will become infamy. ”

"Clear your name? Do I still have a clear name? Wantong still has any reputation, he is just a faint official, a mediocre talent, and a waste. If you have any infamy, just come at me, I don't care. ”

It is not so much that he answered Yang Chengzu, but that he was thinking in pieces. Yang Chengzu came to the side of the bed and sat down, "Don't be like this, you are the official of the Zhizhou Imperial Court of a state, why don't you come up with some style, the official government is systematic." Who would dare to say that you didn't clear your name? Tie Wantong has three words, it's not about talking, no one in the whole Anlu doesn't know, and no one knows. If it weren't for you being good enough as an official, how could it be that in this situation, there are still so many loyal subordinates to protect you and kill you. The past cannot be reversed, but we can do the current thing, we will join forces to keep the palace, and then take this city back from these refugees, how about it, do you have the courage to do this? ”
