Either way, it would not be easy for them to get to Kyoto safely.

When the old lady put forward this idea, some people were the first to oppose it, and there were not a few people who objected, most of them followed Xie Siyun and the kitchen industry from the beginning, or later suffered with Xie Siyun and Chuyue.

So the distrust of the old lady is their instinctive reaction.

Obviously, because she was not trusted, the old lady's expression became a little sad.

She wanted to say something, but she looked at Xie Siyun and then at Chu Yue, but she didn't say anything after all.

In fact, Chu Yue and Xie Siyun always have to think a lot, especially in the current situation, whether they go or not, they are responsible for the safety of so many people after all.

However, before they could decide what to do, they heard the noise of the inn downstairs.

As soon as Chu Yue and Xie Siyun walked up the stairs, they looked at Xiao Er below and waved to them in a panic: "Distinguished guests, hurry up and go upstairs!" Down to the danger! Someone outside is killing people and setting fires, and it's very dangerous! ”

Xie Siyun instinctively protected Chu Yue behind him, but Chu Yue was not afraid of anything, just took Xie Siyun's hand, and still wanted to go down: "Let's go, we have to go and see!" ”

There was already a mess at the bottom, they insisted on it, and Xiao Er didn't care about them, just busy sealing the front door with a wooden bar, and it seemed that something big was wrong outside.

The shopkeeper of the inn held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and kept pacing back and forth in the hall, and he still recited the words in his mouth: "Amitabha Buddha Amitabha, this is about to change the sky!" It's scary, it's going to change, what can I do?! ”

The shopkeeper panicked like this, Chu Yue and Xie Siyun also walked to the door, and finally saw the situation outside-

An army out there is a slaughtering spree!

It looks like an army under the command of the prince, wearing the clothes prepared by the prince's army.

They burned, killed, and plundered all kinds of evil in the streets, and when they saw a person, they would cut them without saying a word, and then they would look through the person's body to see if there was anything of value.

And at the door of this inn, there were several people lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground, and I don't know if they were dead.

Hatsuki saw a person who was still trying to survive with his eyes open one moment, and then shook his body the next, and then there was no movement.

It's not that she hasn't seen death, it's just that such a meaningless death seems to her to be somewhat heartbreaking.

Before the front door was staked, a soldier saw Xiao Er's movements in the inn with sharp eyes.

He stepped forward with a knife and tried to push open the door of the inn with great momentum, but Xiao Er was so frightened that he retreated again and again, his face was frightened, and he forgot to block the door.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of this inn reacted the fastest, stepped forward and stuffed a silver bag directly into the soldier's hand. The soldier carried a blood-stained knife in one hand and a money bag in the other before leaving satisfied.

Only the shopkeeper who stood at the door with an earthy face was left to cry: "If one person comes and has to give so much silver, then I have a thousand inns that are not enough!" Now in this city...... I'm afraid there is no safe place anymore! ”

There is no safe place anymore?!

Chu Yue turned her head suddenly, and really met Xie Siyun's heavy eyes, and they all had the answer in their hearts.

So without looking back, they went upstairs and told them that they should leave for the city gate at once, and that they should not tarnish any longer in the city!

Fortunately, their salute had not yet been unloaded, and Xiao Er also knew that this situation could not keep them, so he took the initiative to open the small door at the back for them, telling them to go east from the slightly remote alley behind, so that they could meet fewer soldiers on the street.

As soon as he got out of the back door, Chu Yue heard the news from the people fleeing around him: the prince's army was about to attack the city gate, but the city had already taken the lead in chaos.

I'm afraid that after three or five days, this last place that can protect the capital will finally be lost!

But what the people talked about the most was not the one who supported the prince: the army guards of His Royal Highness the Prince, burning, killing, and plundering were all evil, even if there was no such disaster as today, and they did not harm these innocent people.

Therefore, on the contrary, more people hope that the army of the Night Rain and Wind Lord can enter the city sooner, so as to calm down the chaos in the city now, at least everyone does not have to endanger themselves.

In the early moon, they arrived at the gate of the city, and it was actually relatively smooth. If you meet those soldiers, most of them can be sent away with enough money.

This is where Chu Yue feels lucky: if they don't have enough money, what if they don't have enough money?

Do those who do not have enough money die like mustard?

Chu Yue didn't dare to think about it, she only knew that she was either alone now, or she had to do her best, and she was also responsible for seeing the child in her belly and for the so many people who followed behind them.

When we finally arrived at the city gate, it was already dusk.

The city gate was locked, but the soldiers guarding the city gate were bored and dissatisfied.

They looked at the chaos in the city, and there was a look of envy in their eyes for the soldiers who could rob others of their money.

Xie Siyun and his entourage took advantage of the lack of people at the city gate, so they quickly went to the city gate.

Before that, the old lady of the Xie family did not forget to smear some black dust on the faces of Chu Yue, Xie Jiangqi and Yao Qingyan, and messed up their hair, which had covered up their own appearance, and it was also thoughtful.

When he approached the door, he really aroused the vigilance of the soldiers defending the city.

They slashed their swords in front of Xie Siyun and Chu Yue's eyes without saying a word, and looked at them coldly: "Now that everyone is not allowed to leave the city, you'd better not take a step further!" ”

Their appearance makes people feel disgusting like arrows holding chicken feathers.

Xie An also hurriedly stepped forward, took out a bag of silver ingots from the carriage behind him, and said to the two people: "I wonder if the military master can do something?" We just want to be able to pass through this gate and never cause chaos to the military master! ”

Perhaps it is the first time that these bitter soldiers, who have always been deducted from military rations and military services, have seen so much money!

The eyes of both of them shone with the big bag of silver ingots, but they wisely did not let them go immediately, but looked greedily at the carriage behind them: "Yo, it seems that I have caught a big fish today!" We'd like to know, how much more do you have? ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to the brothers behind him: "You know, this city gate is not up to the two of us!" ”

It's really a lack of people's hearts!

Xie An frowned, took a box out of the carriage and handed it to the two soldiers: "The brothers have worked hard to defend the city, this is not a respect, just so that the brothers can drink a sip of hot tea and scald a pot of hot wine in this night!" ”

Watching the bag of her hard-earned gold go down the drain, Chu Yue felt that her heart was dripping blood.

But the two soldiers were still dissatisfied, their eyes rolled, and they said to Xie An: "It seems that you have a lot of good things hidden in that carriage?" Now that the city is in chaos like this, we will kill you and take out all the things in your carriage, and I am afraid that no one will bother with us, right? ”

Really...... It's the worst ending, right?

Chu Yue frowned slightly, and when she was about to step forward, she felt a figure flashing beside her-

It's an old lady!

She took a torch out of nowhere, held it in her left hand, and then took two silver tickets in her right hand, and walked to the two soldiers: "Do you think that we have come prepared? ”

She is an old lady in the end, and her momentum is there, and one person's forehead is enough to crush these two people to look at each other.

With a cold snort, the old lady handed the two silver tickets in her hand to the two of them: "We have a lot of pine oil in our car, we didn't want to find trouble, we just wanted to take advantage of the convenience of our brothers to get out of this city gate." Presumably, brother, you may not be able to get this money after working hard all your life, right? Now it's right in front of you, why not be so greedy, take it and turn a blind eye and pass, isn't it? ”

She waved her torch and gestured to the carriage: "We filled the carriage with pine oil and cinnabar saltpeter. I have already thought about it, if we can't go, according to the current situation in the city, it will be a big deal or death. But before we die, we will directly ignite the contents of the carriage. You won't let us have a good time, and we won't let you have a good time! I'm afraid that the power of cinnabar saltpeter is better known than us ordinary people, right? ”

In fact, Chu Yue's heart, after hearing this, was a little worried: Where is there any cinnabar saltpeter in the car? Some of them are just the luggage they have carried along the way!

But apparently, the old lady accurately grasped the psychology of the two soldiers defending the city.

They looked at each other, and then they all stepped back with some fear for the carriage.

The old lady smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then stepped forward and added an extra silver ticket to the two of them: "So acquaintances, just when we are still talking well, hurry up and hand down the silver ticket, and then find a way out for us!" ”

The numbers on the silver tickets were astronomical for these already poor soldiers.

Both of them were silent for a moment, as if they were thinking about something.

In the end, they were given a way: "Then you should pass quickly!" Pay attention to the torches in your hands, you will never come back after leaving the city, can you think about it? ”

The old lady was really an old lady, and she solved this matter without blood, which made Chu Yue breathe a sigh of relief.
