Chapter 753: Qingzhou has arrived
As the westernmost border state capital of Eastern Qin, Qingzhou Mansion only repaired two city gates in the east and west, and it was very magnificent, and the city was eight zhang high, even in later generations, Bai Heran rarely saw such a high city wall.
I think it is to defend against foreign enemies, after all, it is a border city, and it is still guarding the shoreless sea, and the city defense is bound to be built firmly.
Jun Muxi said: "All the cities along the border of Eastern Qin are all eight zhang high and six zhang thick city walls, which is the standard issued by the imperial court. As he spoke, he looked up, "At such a height, even if it is my light skill, I can't go up even if I only take a breath, and I have to shake my feet halfway." If it's ordinary kung fu, you can't do it at all. ”
Bai He's eyes were teary, she didn't do much light work, she definitely couldn't go up at this height, she could come down when she came down, but it was no different from jumping off a building. The construction of such high walls in the border city is indeed conducive to defense. It's a pity that such a height restricts the light skills of the masters, and also blocks the enemy's thousands of troops, but it can't resist the waves that will whistle in the blink of an eye.
"I've been traveling for three days and three nights, Ah Ran, your face is very bad." Jun Muxi reminded her, "Seeing Rin'er like this, I'm afraid he will feel distressed." ”
"The fourth brother is not much better, in the last three days and three nights, I said that I could do it, and the fourth brother didn't stop me. It can be seen that I am in a hurry, and the fourth brother's worry is also true, the closer I get to this Qingzhou Mansion, the more I can't stop the horse. Fourth brother, look at yourself, the green lining is wrinkled, and there is stubble on the chin, if you let those girls in the capital see it, you will not dare to believe that this is the fourth prince. ”
Jun Muxi raised his hand and touched his chin, and smiled helplessly, "You're right, I won't fight with you." ”
Many people came out of Qingzhou City one after another, some of them took care of their families, some carried pots and bowls, and some even took down the rice from the crops, bundled them one by one, piled them up on ox carts and pulled them out of the city.
Winter snow can't read, "What is this for?" How does it feel like everyone is moving? Can't Qingzhou Mansion be inhabited? ”
Bai Heran glanced at her, "If you take a closer look, do you find any other problems?" ”
Winter Snow looked at the city gate again, and before she could see it, she was silently puzzled: "Why are all people out of the city, but no one enters the city, what's wrong?" It was still early in the morning, and the gates had just been opened, and it was the time when someone should have entered the city. ”
In winter, Xue also reacted, "Yes, no one entered the city, all of them went out of the city, and they all moved out of the city." ”
"Just ask." The fourth prince raised his hand, and Yan Guan immediately stepped forward and greeted the nearest family.
"Auntie, uncle, I'm from out of town, I don't seem to be right in Qingzhou Mansion, I want to inquire with the two of you." As he spoke, he took out the snacks he had bought in the upper castle from his baggage and handed them to the two children that the old couple was carrying.
The family also seemed to be poor, and everyone carried their belongings, pots and pans, but they did not even have a carriage or a donkey cart, so they had to walk on foot. The two children were very happy to see that they were a little heartfelt, but they didn't dare to take it, they just looked at their grandparents and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, can we have it?" ”
The two old men couldn't make up their minds, so they asked Yan Guan: "This little brother, what do you want to inquire about?" After asking, he also looked at Bai Heran and a group of people, only to see that although this line of work was dusty, it still couldn't hide its luxurious posture, and he knew that these were nobles. So I was even more worried, I really didn't know what would happen if I was stopped by a group of nobles.
Seeing that they hesitated, Yan Guan took another step forward and forced the dim sum to the two children, and then said to the old couple: "Don't be afraid, you two, we are not bad people, and we don't want to inquire about many confidential things." Besides, I don't ask your second elder about confidential matters, what can your second elder know, isn't that reasonable? ”
The old couple nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, we are ordinary people, and we don't know what secrets are." So this little brother, what are you trying to ask? This kid has eaten all the snacks, you can ask! ”
Yan Guan smiled and said, "I just want to ask, what's wrong with this Qingzhou Mansion?" Why are there only those who go out of the city, but no one who goes into the city? Also, why are people out of the city so ......" he pointed to the old couple's family, "why are you dragging your family with a basin and a bowl, you are going to move?" The whole city is moving? ”
When the old couple heard that he was asking this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then listened to the old woman: "Little brother, don't you know yet? Qingzhou Mansion is about to be unable to be saved, and now the city gate in the west has been closed, and the east gate is only allowed to go out and not let in. Tang Languo is all gone, and the roar is about to be filmed in Qingzhou, everyone is running for their lives, and they can take as many things as they can. ”
Bai Heran and Jun Muxi glanced at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.
Yan Guan asked the old woman: "Did the government issue a notice to let the people in the city move as soon as possible?" ”
"Yes, it was the government that issued a notice, but the government only said that we should leave Qingzhou City as soon as possible and go all the way east, but it didn't say how far we had to run to avoid the roar." The old woman wiped her tears as she spoke, "The family was already having a hard time, the son fell into the river and drowned in the early years, and the daughter-in-law couldn't keep the poverty and ran away with others, leaving only two children." Our old couple pulled our two children from three to five years old, and we didn't save a copper plate for the past two years. Living in Qingzhou City, we still have a house to live in, and we are really ...... when we suddenly want to move."
"Oh, don't talk about that, it's not our family who moves, the people in the entire Qingzhou City have to move, and some of them are worse than us, so you can save your tears and keep your strength to walk." The old man persuaded his wife, and he sighed.
"Got it, got it." The old woman wiped her tears, and then persuaded Yan Guan, "Little brother, you are from outside, you don't know how powerful this roar is, right?" Don't go into town, run as much as you can. You have horses, and you can go much faster than we do, so run quickly, it's too late for the evening. ”
"Where are you going?" The old man sighed and said, "It's not that I didn't see how high the roar was that day, and it directly wiped out the Tang Lan Kingdom, and the water didn't reach the bottom of the walls of our Qingzhou City." I heard that there is a bigger howl, ten times higher than the previous one, so how can you run! The old man thumped his legs, "My legs and feet are not good, I can't walk far if I want to, and I may die on the road." It's just that I pity these two children, without a father and mother, and grandma can't protect them for a few days. ”
The old man sighed, pulled a child with one hand, and thanked Yan Guan for the snacks again, and urged the old woman to leave quickly.
Bai Heran thought for a while, beat his horse over, and told them: "Thirty miles further east is the mountainous area, and when we come, we see that the mountains are continuous, and the mountains are high and handsome, so you just run to the mountains, and you can go as high as you can." The Great Roar is coming, and only high places can save lives. ”
The old couple looked depressed, "Girl, I know that you are kind, but our family is either old or young, and it is really impossible to climb the mountain." Let's just run east, as far as we can. Thank you, girl. ”
Bai Crane is also helpless, indeed, the old and the young, the mountain must not be able to climb.
She looked at Mo Yu, who immediately understood, took out a silver dollar from her sleeve pocket, got off the horse, and handed it to the old woman.
Bai Heran said: "Thank you for informing me of the situation in Qingzhou Mansion, run away quickly!" ”
The old couple's family had never seen such a large ingot of silver dollars, and they wanted to say that they were useless, but now they are really short of money on the way to escape. In the end, he had to close his eyes and continue, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the white crane.
Bai Heran had no intention of receiving this gift, and beat his horse to the gate of Qingzhou, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped them and said loudly: "The city is closed, only allowed to go out and not enter, no matter who comes, stay away quickly." ”
Daoguang and Yan Guan stepped forward immediately, and listened to Yan Guan: "When you enter the city, you will say that the fourth hall and the princess of the same heaven have arrived!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the officer and soldier were directly stunned, and they were stunned for several breaths before they came back to their senses, and then jumped up on the ground, screaming happily. "The Fourth Highness is down! The princess is here! The Four Highnesses are down! The princess is here! ”
When the people who had left the city heard this, they also stopped and looked at the line of the white crane.
Someone said, "The one who wears the purple dress is the princess of heaven, right?" It's really good-looking, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and it's a bit of an alien. The boy in green shirt on the side must be the Fourth Highness, like the fairy Taoist in the book. ”
"Alas, no matter who comes, whether it looks like an immortal Taoist or not, after all, it is not a real immortal, we should run for our lives or run for our lives. Let's go, but I don't have time to delay, who knows when the howl will come, maybe I'll shoot it in a daze. ”
"Yes, yes, go quickly, it's important to escape."
The Gu master who came with Bai Heran and his party was still a warm-hearted person, and he learned from Bai Heran's previous words and told those who were going to die: "There are high mountains thirty miles to the east, climb as high as possible, and it is best to avoid the roar in a high place." ”
When people heard this, they thanked him and urged their families to leave, and the Gu Master said that he had a great sense of accomplishment.
Soon, a familiar figure came briskly from the city, and Bai Heran smiled and said to Jun Muxi: "It's Luo Xiu." ”
Jun Muxi nodded, "Rin'er should count the day we will go to Qingzhou City." ”
Sure enough, after Luo Xiu came close to the front and saluted the two, he immediately said: "The master estimates that His Royal Highness and the princess should arrive in the next two days, let his subordinates keep an eye on the city gate, and as soon as they arrive, they will be led to the Yamen of the Mansion immediately." ”
After he finished speaking, he asked the city guards to lead the horse over, turned over and got on the horse, "Let's go, there are too many people at the city gate, and the subordinates will tell His Royal Highness and the princess about the situation of Qingzhou City on the way." ”
The group followed Luo Xiu into Qingzhou City, and order was quickly restored at the city gate, and people no longer stayed and hurried out of the city.
There were many people in the city, and the horses couldn't go fast, so Luo Xiu pointed to the people who moved and said: "The entire Qingzhou City has almost moved, and there are only two or three percent of the people left who have not finished moving, and I think they can all move out in two or three days." But there are also some who really don't want to go, there is really no way, they can only stick to their homeland. But we can't hold on for long, we can't hold on......"
As he spoke, a sudden gust of wind blew, carrying the smell of the sea.
Bai Heran sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good......
