Chapter 169: A Hurricane Passes the Post
The vassal states of the Western Regions were all in chaos, and the Yan Kingdom was the same, full of people fleeing.
The news that the army of the Great Kang Dynasty was attacking and was going to completely encroach on the Western Regions frightened the people. Emperor Zhao Zixuan of Dakang was notoriously fierce, and every time he drove his own expedition, he had to slaughter the city almost everywhere he went. If you don't talk about any rules and reasoning, you often kill people indiscriminately first, and then kill all those who dare to resist and are dissatisfied. After the conquest, the mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the blood on the hands when doing things, the emperors of all generations are the same.
The Xia Wangfu was also in chaos, and the maids and servants were notified, and after getting the bounty, they hurriedly left the Xia Wangfu and fled for their lives.
People gathered in front of the old lady's hospital bed, the two brothers Xia Qing and Xia Yuanba stood at the front, and Xia Changkong, the king of Yan, also came. It turned out that he had set up a trick to kill and fished out the Guvro and the demons and monsters out of the water; now, the arrival of the army of the Dakang Dynasty has completely changed the situation in the Western Regions, and naturally there is no need to hide.
The old lady leaned on the pillow, coughing while listening to people's reports.
"Emperor Dakang Zhao Zixuan drove the expedition in person, that is to say, the Yan Kingdom is completely finished?" asked the old lady.
No one answered, the room was silent, and people looked bitter. If it was an invasion of the Hengluo Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom would definitely not give in, and would rather die in battle than surrender, but the Dakang Dynasty was too powerful, and the Dakang Emperor Zhao Zixuan drove the expedition in person, claiming to have brought three million elite soldiers. Such a large force is enough to sweep away all forces, and no matter how brave the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom are, they can't stop it.
The old lady sighed, his expression gloomy, "Changkong, what do you think should happen now?"
"Mother, I have ordered the evacuation of the people of Fufeng City, the city defense troops have all been disbanded, and the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Xia Wangfu have been transferred to Wuzhou. Xia Changkong's tone was low, and he paused and said: "However, the most elite Yan State Iron Cavalry is still there, I will lead this army into the Sand Sea to temporarily avoid the edge, and when the time is ripe, I will kill it and restore the country! Mother rest assured, as long as there is one person alive in the Yan Country Iron Cavalry, the Yan Kingdom will not perish!"
Forced by the strong forces of the Dakang Dynasty, Xia Changkong had to temporarily retreat and disband all the city defenses of Yan State, but the most elite Yan State Iron Cavalry was retained, which was the hope of Yan State to restore the country.
"Good, good, the hurricane is over, and the grass is the only one left. The Dakang Dynasty is fierce, just like the hurricane, although the wind is fierce, it comes and goes quickly, and the temporary concession is for the future counterattack and rise. Changkong, you did a good job!" Old Taijun nodded, agreeing with Xia Changkong's approach, looked at the two brothers Xia Qing and Xia Yuanba, and asked Xia Yuanba first, "Yuanba, what are your plans next?"
"I will go to the Sand Sea with my father, starting as a pawn. Xia Yuanba replied, his body has lost a lot of weight and matured. The changes in the situation during this time made him understand a lot, and he knew that brute force alone was far from enough.
"Okay, the man of the Xia family is going to be a soldier and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Yuanba, you have also grown up. The old lady nodded and looked at Xia Qing, "Qing'er, what about you?"
"Grandma, I'm ......"
Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, he had no interest in marching and fighting, to be precise, he was becoming less and less interested in worldly things, hoping to cultivate freely in Wuzhou, looking for his mother's whereabouts and the secrets of the Gu Immortal Kingdom, "Grandma, I'm going to go to Wuzhou, it's very dangerous for Wuzhou demon beasts to run rampant, but I feel that it's more suitable for me there." Of course, I will definitely come back in the future if I need to. ”
"Okay, very good, Qing'er, it's right to go to Wuzhou to find your aunt. The old lady did not object, but nodded in praise, and seemed to know that Xia Qing's interest was not in the country's affairs, "Qing'er, you are smarter than the eldest brother, and you are decisive enough to do things, but sometimes you are too bold." When you get to Wuzhou, you have to listen to your aunt more, if you really can't do some things, then forget it, want to open up. ”
"Good. ”
Xia Qing nodded, feeling that the old lady had something to say, and she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to ask too much for a while.
"Miss Xuanxuan is good, don't treat others badly in the future. In addition, I left a letter from your aunt, and when you arrive in Wuzhou, you can go to your aunt. There are some things that you will understand after reading the letter. "The old lady instructed that some things had already been secretly arranged.
"Grandma, aren't you going with me?" Xia Qing was anxious.
"Silly boy, of course go, the army of the Dakang Dynasty will be killed immediately, where can you go if you don't go? You go first, open the way in front, and I will come later." Don't worry, your father has already arranged it. On the contrary, you may have been targeted by someone with a heart, you must be careful on the road, and the task of escorting the old, weak, sick and disabled has also been handed over to you, so be more careful in all aspects. The old lady commanded, reached out and touched Xia Qing's hand, "Qing'er, you have grown up, you must be strong, and you must protect the people who need your protection." ”
"Good. ”
Xia Qing nodded, there are many people in the Xia Palace, and it is indeed necessary to retreat in batches. He is most familiar with the situation in Wuzhou, and he must lead the way in front.
"Then hurry up, the sooner the better, I still have something to discuss with your father. You all retreat, except for the Yan Guo Iron Cavalry, everyone else retreated to Wuzhou for refuge. The old lady commanded.
"Yes!"
The people bowed down and turned away.
After saying goodbye to the old lady again, Xia Qing also left, the flag master and others were already waiting outside, and most of the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Alliance also withdrew, leaving only some elites.
After cleaning up a little, Xia Qing and the others left Fufeng City in a hurry, and there were hundreds of carriages in the front and back, and they left the city in a mighty way. In the distance, the soldiers of the Dakang Dynasty have appeared sporadically, they are the scouts who are in the lead, and the army is about to be killed.
Xia Qing ordered the convoy to speed up and stopped when it reached a high mountain more than ten miles away. After waiting for almost half an hour, the second group of centaurs finally arrived, escorted by Xia Changkong and others.
Xia Qing greeted him, looked around but didn't see the figure of the old lady, but found that a thick smoke rose from the Xia Wang's Mansion and was engulfed in flames, Xia Changkong, Xia Yuanba and the others had gloomy faces, and their eyes were all red.
"Where's grandma, big brother, where is grandma?" Xia Qing asked, feeling bad in her heart.
"Second brother, grandma, she ......"
Before Xia Yuanba finished speaking, tears flowed down and he cried in front of people.
"Grandma, what's wrong with her?Big brother, you make it clear, what about grandma......" Xia Qing's heart became heavier and heavier.
"Qing'er, old lady, she ...... , ignited*, this is the letter she left you. Xia Changkong handed Xia Qing a letter.
Xia Qing opened the envelope, and the letterhead was indeed the old lady's handwriting, "Qing'er, grandma is gone, don't blame your eldest brother and father, it was grandma who insisted on requesting it." Grandma is old and doesn't want to go anywhere, grandma's husband and several children are buried in Xia Wangfu, and grandma wants to accompany them here. When you arrive in Wuzhou, say hello to your aunt and them for me, be careful all the way, take care. ”
The letter paper slipped from Xia Qing's fingertips, and Xia Qing's hands and feet were cold.
"Grandma, don't, don't ......"
Xia Qing ran away, wanting to rush back to Xia Wang's Mansion, but was tightly held by Shi Xuanxuan, Xia Yuanba and others.
In the distance, the Xia Wangfu has been engulfed in fire, and a vast number of soldiers have appeared outside the city, killing people when they see them, and the army of the Dakang Dynasty has already been killed.
"Grandma'......"
Xia Qing shouted, a tingling pain in his heart, and the pain was heartbreaking.
