Outside the city gate, Zhou Fengshu led his troops to attack it, and it was not difficult to break through the city gate. As soon as Tuoba left, those well-trained troops collapsed on all fronts for a while. The generals who had been guarding the gates were sent out of the city. Uncle Zhou Feng entered the capital without much effort.

But as soon as Zhou Fengshu entered the capital, he was attacked by the first wave of gunpowder. The gunpowder that Yan Wuji had planted all over the capital did not avoid innocent civilians, and once ignited, it exploded incessantly.

For a while, the Anxi soldiers turned on their backs.

The innocent people in the capital had no direction and rushed to the streets one after another to make a mess, and Yan Wuyi's people were mixed in with these people, and they couldn't prevent it at all.

Yan Wuyi's people came out of those black-faced people, and there were many low-level people dressed in various costumes, who lit the gunpowder while spreading rumors that Zhou Fengshu had slaughtered the city, and many people rose up to resist for a while.

Uncle Zhou Feng didn't dare to attack civilians, no matter how strong the Anxi army was, this was not a battlefield where the two armies faced off. The Anxi army was so tied that it was almost impossible to move an inch in the city. The Anxi army was strictly disciplined, and when Xiao Zijing was the commander of the Anxi army, he was very strict in governing the army, even if the Anxi army won the battle, it was not allowed to harass the people in the city. These habits were immersed in the bones of the Anxi army, and their swords could not fall against the people, but they were exploited by those with ulterior motives.

A few men in coarse cloth clothes left a one-man stake in the street, blocking the way of the Anxi army into the city.

There are also many people standing on the tall buildings on both sides of Suzaku Street, and from time to time burning torches are thrown down from the tall buildings on both sides.

Seeing that the entire capital was about to turn into a sea of fire, Uncle Zhou Feng turned over and dismounted, and rushed out with his red tassel gun. He picked up a man with a torch: "What are you doing! Way! ”

The man was only twenty-five years old, and he was born thin and was carried by Uncle Zhou Feng like this, and he was so frightened that he trembled, Rao still stiffened his neck and glared back viciously: "What way?" Let you come in and destroy the capital again! ”

Uncle Zhou Feng was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be like this when he entered the city. He thought that when the gates of the city were opened, the people would welcome him and see him as a hero, but now he was completely regarded as a wicked man.

Uncle Zhou Feng was puzzled: "General Ben is here to save you!" What do you mean to destroy the capital again?! ”

The man broke free from Uncle Zhou Feng: "Aren't you all fighting in the capital!" What's the matter with the people! How many people have died in your fights! Say something to save us! It's selfishness at all! The current emperor is very good, he wants to exempt us from taxes, and he also released my brother who is a hard laborer! ”

Uncle Zhou Feng was a little stunned when he said this. Xiao Huatuo kills people like hemp but is regarded as a wise monarch by these people, is there anything more ridiculous than this?

This is the most difficult battle Uncle Zhou Feng has ever fought. It is not a strong enemy that is being faced, but a defenseless people. Faced with a sloppy human heart.

Just when Uncle Zhou Feng was stunned, a firm voice sounded above Uncle Zhou Feng's head: "Use wooden sticks instead, stabilize these people first." ”

Zhou Fengshu turned around suddenly, and saw Xiao Lian standing behind him alone, he went straight back to Beijing from the Northern Wei Dynasty for two days, and changed five horses in the middle. Behind Xiao Lian, there was still a ghost-faced Langjun, who did not bring a face, dressed in black, and also looked like a dusty servant.

The people in coarse cloth looked at Xiao Lian and said angrily: "You don't want to harm us again!" ”

Xiao Lian frowned, and looked at the ordinary man with amber pupils for a long time: "If it weren't for Tuoba Xian's retreat, you would all be the souls of the Wei army's iron hooves, who is the victim?" ”

The man's eyes dodged: "As long as you can live well, you won't be ruined, whether he is a Qi person or a Wei person." ”

Xiao Lian glanced at the man coldly, didn't bother to say more to him, turned back to Uncle Zhou Feng and said, "General Zhou doesn't care about these people, these people are not really good citizens. These people were all picked up by Xiao Huatuo to incite emotions. This man is the same group of people who extort and extort porcelain on weekdays. ”

Uncle Zhou Feng was mentioned like this, and his heart suddenly felt a lot better: "But the people in this city can't tell who is the people and who is the rebels, what should I do?" ”

Xiao Lian picked up a piece of wood from the ground, held it in his hand, and checked it: "How dare the real people directly clash with the army? If you can't kill it, you have to press it down first. He turned back to the Anxi army and instructed: "The Anxi army obeys the order, leave some people to protect the concubine, and the rest abandon the sword and follow me into the city!" ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Lian has a high prestige in the army because of several victories with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now Tuoba Xian's retirement is also the credit of Xiao Lian. General Xiao's order naturally did not dare to disobey.

Hundreds of Anxi soldiers turned over and dismounted, threw their knives aside, and the scholar Xiao Lian picked up a wooden stick from the ground and walked straight along Suzaku Avenue to the city.

Seeing Xiao Lian's appearance, Uncle Zhou Feng also picked up a wooden stick from the ground and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has fought all his life, and he has never fought like this." ”

Xiao Lian pulled up the corner of his mouth and said with a slight smile: "I've had a few fights before, but the scene is not so big." Don't be so merciful to the thugs. ”

The Anxi army scattered into small alleys everywhere, and the combat strength of the Anxi army, which abandoned the sword, weakened a lot, but changed to hand-to-hand combat, so as not to accidentally injure the lives of the people, and the Anxi army quickly controlled the situation in the city, and several black-faced people who intended to ignite gunpowder were also taken down. Ghost-faced Langjun led people to clear the gunpowder one by one. The people who were caught were all gathered together and suppressed in the center of the vegetable market.

Xiao Lian finished cleaning up the capital and ran straight to the palace, and just when he arrived at the palace gate, he heard a person calling him in the distance.

"General Xiao!"

Xiao Lian turned around and saw Xiao Fulin, Xiao Ziqing, and Da Meng coming straight to him with a group of princes. A group of people all came from the sea of fire, and their faces were black.

Xiao Ziqing wiped his face and walked to Xiao Lian's side with a limp: "Xiao Huatuo escaped with the princess." ”

Xiao Lian's head buzzed: "A-Ying? ”

Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Fulin couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Xiao Lian's intimacy, but now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, and neither of them thought much about it. Xiao Ziqing hurriedly said: "The last time I saw them was outside Dali Temple, and they walked in the southeast direction. ”

Xiao Lian's eyes were cold, and he said to Xiao Fulin: "Princess of the Great Wall, Concubine Fan has entered the city with General Zhou, you should go and join Concubine Fan quickly, and now there is only Concubine Fan who can preside over the overall situation." ”

"Where are you going to find A-Ying?"

Xiao Lian was stunned for a moment, Xiao Ziqing only saw Xiao Huatuo and them going out of the city in the southeast direction, but it was unknown where they would go after leaving the city. The fire burning in the city seemed to burn into Xiao Lian's heart, but he scratched his heart with a hundred claws, but there were no more clues.

He didn't know anything about Xiao Huatuo's identity. What's more, He Jingying returned to the palace this time and lied to herself that she was dead, and she would definitely not leave him any clues.

It was in a moment of hesitation that a palace maid rushed out of the palace gate. She didn't recognize Xiao Lian, but she recognized Xiao Ziqing. When she saw Xiao Ziqing, she subconsciously wanted to dodge.

As soon as the palace maid moved, she was discovered by Xiao Fulin, and Xiao Fulin whipped the palace maid's feet: "What are you doing sneakily? ”

The palace maid trembled, and looked at Xiao Ziqing's eyes full of fear.

Xiao Fulin quickly came back to her senses, everyone in the palace knew that Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Huatuo were in the same group, and she was afraid of being like this now, she must know something.

Xiao Fulin walked a few steps beside the palace maid: "I scared you just now, I am the princess of the Great Wall." ”

The palace maid naturally recognized Xiao Fulin, and she completely forgot the etiquette due to the chaos. The palace maid was about to kneel down as soon as her knees were weak: "Slave maid ......"

Xiao Fulin reached out and dragged her elbow and helped her up: "When is it, what to worship." I ask you, why did you run out on your own? ”

This palace maid doesn't have a single burden on her, and if she escapes from the palace, the palace people will be more or less soft for her future escape. If you don't run for your life, you must be asking for help.

The palace maid looked at Xiao Ziqing with flickering eyes, unable to make up her mind.

Xiao Lian stepped forward slowly: "I'm Xiao Lian, the general of Long Xiang, do you know the whereabouts of the princess?" ”

As soon as the palace maid heard Xiao Lian's name, her eyes lit up: "General Xiao, the slave maid is the palace maid who dresses up for the princess today." ”

"Do you know where she is?" Xiao Lianyi was excited, and he couldn't help but get a little stronger when he grabbed the palace maid. The palace maid hissed in pain, and Xiao Lian quickly let go.

The palace maid shook her head and said, "I don't know where Niangniang went." Before the chaos in the palace, Niangniang asked me to hide in the Xiangyun Palace, saying that I should wait for someone there, and if anyone went to the Xiangyun Palace to find her, let me tell him that the Niangniang was dead. ”

Xiangyun Palace?

Xiao Lian's brain was buzzing, and a touch of blood red appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Fulin hurriedly said, "Then why didn't you go to Xiangyun Palace?" ”

The palace maid's eyes were red: "I still can't rest assured when I think about it, I want to come out and have a look." ”

"Do you know where they went?"

The palace maid thought for a while with red eyes: "I secretly returned to Weiyang Palace not long after I left, and I heard the emperor and Niangniang arguing, saying that there were dead people." Weiyang Palace is also quite terrifying, and the emperor has placed a tablet. The palace maid suddenly said: "I heard the emperor mention Yan Xiaodao to Niangniang. ”

Yan knife!

A hint of clarity suddenly flashed in Xiao Lian's mind, he grabbed a horse and went to the southeast.
