According to the retreat plan that had been rehearsed dozens of times, Du Baozhu personally helped A-Niang into the carriage.

Only Aye, who had been kept in the dark, sleepwalked in disbelief: "The two armies have not yet fought, how can the saint abandon the city and flee?" ”

It's all at this time, haven't you seen clearly that His Majesty the Emperor you loyally follow is an unresponsible puppet? Cui Shi and his daughter glanced at each other, and finally couldn't help but not poke Du Rangneng's lung tube.

"Aya, don't think about this, the thief army is less than fifty miles away from the city, I'm afraid that we will be able to enter the city before dawn, let's leave quickly."

"No!" Du Rangneng suddenly woke up and looked resolute: "There are still people in the city, you go first, and I will go to Prime Minister Dou." ”

When he found Prime Minister Dou, he was afraid that the thief army had entered the city. Du Baozhu hurriedly grabbed him: "Aya, you first escort A-Niang and the second and third uncle's family into the mountain, and I have my own way to inform the people in the city." ”

"Nonsense, you are a girl, what can you do? This kind of dangerous thing is still left to Aya to do. At a critical juncture, Du Rang could not let the lady take risks, and said that he had turned over and rode on the horse led by Chen Niao.

"Da Lang," Cui Shi hurriedly stopped him: "Jiaojiao'er has already prepared for this matter, you can believe her." ”

Du Rangneng heard the sound, looked down at Du Baozhu, and saw that the little girl's face was calm, so he knew that this was not false: "...... How did you know about this in advance? ”

"It's a long story." Cui's family has been in business with Du Baozhu for two years, and she is no longer the little lady who counted on her husband for everything. With a sweep of his eyes, Chen Niao willingly helped Du Rangneng off the horse and forced it into the carriage.

"I'll talk to you when I'm settled."

After getting Du Rangneng, Du Fu's car drove towards Hengjie. At the intersection, he met with the second and third rooms that had been waiting here, and turned the carriage towards the prospect of Jinguangmen, where Li Yi and the others had fled.

The Son of Heaven was gone, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that the situation was not good, so they had already secretly fled, leaving only one city gate ajar, and the exit from the city was unexpectedly smooth.

"You go up the hill first, and I'll catch up soon."

Cui Shi held Du Baozhu's hand tightly, and his eyes were full of tears: "Jiaojiaoer, be careful." ”

Du Baozhu shook Cui's hand hard and comforted: "Don't worry, A-Niang, I will put a signal at the city gate, and nothing will happen." ”

After living here for so long, she has long regarded herself as the real Du Baozhu, and here are her relatives, so she is reluctant to die.

When the carriages and horses of Cui Shi and the others had gone away, Du Baozhu ordered people to put the fireworks that had been prepared long ago on the city gate and light them with incense.

Fireworks are the best fireworks bought for more than 100 taels of silver, and once ignited, they explode like stars, illuminating half of the city.

In the sharp sound of breaking the air, Du Baozhu, Chen Niao and others beat the gongs and drums together: "The chaotic army has entered the city, run!" ”

Historically, on the night that Tang Xizong went out of the city, the rebellious army entered the capital, and he really didn't leave much time for Du Baozhu to inform everyone. In desperation, she could only wake everyone up in this way, and as for the consequences, it was no longer within her consideration.

The people, who had already blown out the lamps and fallen asleep, heard the deafening explosion and woke up from their dreams in a daze, still not knowing what had happened: "The rebel army is now entering the city?" ”

Those who love to listen to books in the new tea shop on weekdays vaguely remembered that in recent days, the storyteller told the story of a certain patriot in the former dynasty who used fireworks to warn, and immediately sobered up: "It's bad, the rebel army is really attacking the city." Let's run away! ”

"Where are we going to flee?"

"The fireworks are at the West City Gate, let's go to the West City Gate!"

Although he can't be reminded explicitly, Du Baozhu has been ordering the storyteller to tell some prepared stories these days, hinting at the people of Beijing.

Many people followed the storyteller's prompts and prepared the soft for escape in advance.

At this time, 800,000 people in Kyoto, like frightened birds, rushed out of their houses and into the streets, and the tide rushed to the West Castle Gate.

When they found that the city gate was no longer guarded, they believed even more in the fact that the rebel army had entered the city, and hurriedly rushed out of the city.

At this time, the city gate has been pushed open by Du Baozhu and others, but the wide city gate still can't accommodate the people who have rushed in, and there are helpless cries of children everywhere, and the shouts of relatives calling each other.

There are also bastards who want money and don't want their lives, and they actually take advantage of this time to mix in the crowd and rob property.

"Give it back! That's my son's money! An old woman with sparse gray hair was pushed to the ground, still clutching the corner of her baggage.

Seeing this, the strong man who snatched the burden cursed in a low voice, and raised his foot to the old woman's heart. However, before he could make this kick, a bright light flashed, and his head had already rolled to the ground.

The old woman was stunned by the scene in front of her, and even forgot to pick up the baggage, and watched the strong man fall to the ground and reveal the long figure behind him.

The young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was poured with blood, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes, only calm and resolute, so that people could not tell whether he was a god or a demon.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the burden and handed it to the old woman: "There is someone in front of you to lead the way, follow the group." ”

"Oh." The old woman shuddered, hugged her baggage and hurriedly followed everyone.

At the gate of the city, someone shouted a warning: "Line up, those who dare to cut in line, will be killed!" ”

There was also a corpse with a wide open chest lying at his feet, and no one dared to disbelieve him. Those who had been desperately squeezing forward immediately tightened their necks and honestly retreated into the line.

The procession moved forward in an orderly manner, and many people left the city safely and followed the torches into the mountains.

However, this situation did not last long, and soon the fire was shining in the east.

"The thieves have entered the city!" Someone shouted in the crowd, and the originally orderly team was immediately dispersed, and everyone squeezed forward desperately, hoping to escape the fate of death by exiting this door.

After all, Du Baozhu was young and short, and he was soon carried away from his original position by the crowd and cut off contact with Chen Niao and others.

Such a situation was something she didn't expect in advance, after all, although the Shence army was vulnerable, it could always defend it for a while by relying on the city wall, how could it be defeated so quickly?

Soon, she thought of a possibility - the general defending the city had surrendered to the rebel army, and this was the gate they took the initiative to open.

As a result, the time was much shorter than expected, and it was too late to save everyone from the city.

She immediately touched the fireworks stick on her body and gave the signal to evacuate. Seeing this signal, Dufu's subordinates immediately withdrew from the crowd and evacuated outside the city with some old, weak, sick and disabled.

Only Chen Niao threw away the long knife and desperately squeezed into the crowd.

"What are you doing?" Lu Ming hurriedly grabbed him: "The little lady has explained in advance, all actions are subject to her instructions, don't make trouble!" ”

"The little lady is still in the city." Chen Niao wiped a handful of blood stains on his face, and under the firelight, he looked like a vicious wolf.

Lu Ming had been busy maintaining order before, and did not pay attention to Du Baozhu's whereabouts, but as soon as he reminded him, he realized that there was no Du Baozhu outside the city, and the two of them sinked suddenly, and they squeezed towards the city together.

Du Baozhu, after sending the signal, rushed out of the city in the direction of the crowd's escape. However, before she could take a few steps, she heard the neighing of a horse behind her.

The people rushed to the gate of the city even more desperately, and at the critical moment, those strong men did not have any chivalrous spirit, whether it was the old man or the woman and the child who stood in front of them, they were all pulled by them and thrown behind them.

Du Baozhu was young and a girl, and she didn't take two steps before someone grabbed her collar and threw her back.

She hurriedly stabilized her body and rolled to the ground to stop the force. Just as she was about to get up, the horse's hooves had already reached her: "Come up!" ”

Du Baozhu looked up and saw Li Jie dressed in black. The chaotic army was approaching the city, and Li Jie's face still didn't have much expression, only the slightly trembling fingertips revealed his thoughts.

Du Baozhu glanced at the crowded city gate and shook his head: "The city gate is blocked like this, and you can't get through it on horseback, so you can't get off the horse and walk." ”

"Idiot." Li Jie saw that Du Baozhu was not moving, leaned over and fished her, so he fished her on horseback: "I can't get out of the West City Gate, there are other city gates, and if I don't leave, it's too late." ”

In Kyoto tonight, the east and west gates are lit up in the sky, but the rest of the place is dark and silent, like a dead city.

Li Jie rode Du Baozhu on a gallop through the empty streets, the horse's hooves stepping over the stone slabs, making a crisp and rapid 'da-da' sound, and the tall south gate gradually revealed its silhouette in the darkness.

However, before the two approached, a sharp arrow slashed against Li Jie's throat and nailed it to the door of the house on the side of the road with a 'doo'.

Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, dozens of soldiers were running towards the city gate, and behind them was a young general on horseback: "The city gate has been sealed, no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”

Li Jie's face was snow-white, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes: "Traitor! ”

Although he didn't say it, Du Baozhu quickly guessed what happened—someone under Li Jie betrayed him and revealed his whereabouts to the rebels.

At this time, the south gate was not opened, and the other party had many people and weapons, so they had no possibility of escaping. Du Baozhu had no choice but to turn over and dismount, allowing two soldiers to come over and tie her wrists.

But just when the two of them came over with the rope, one of the short men with a clever face suddenly showed a surprised look: "Hey, isn't this Du Niangzi?" ”

The other tall man also stared at Du Baozhu's face and said, "Ouch" and said, "It's really Du Niangzi!" ”

The two of them were no longer tied, and they smiled and put their faces in front of Du Baozhu: "Du Niangzi, do you still know us?" ”

"I'm the sixth!" "I'm the fourth!"

Du Baozhu was stunned, and finally found a trace of familiarity on the faces of the two - these two people were the robbers she met on the way back to the capital from the Eastern Capital last year, that is, Song Wen's two subordinates.

So...... Du Baozhu subconsciously looked at the young general on horseback.

Sure enough, I saw the man take off his helmet, revealing two deep pear vortices at the corners of his mouth: "I'm here to repay the favor." ”
