Chapter 1071: Escape

The news spread everywhere, making the already unstable hearts of the people more and more panicked.

The ranks of the people who went south were originally complicated.

The family members of the eunuchs have generally kept up with the speed of the Shengshang's guard of honor and have left the Gyeonggi territory.

There were also some weak people who fell ill, and their families had to slow down and leave people to serve them, while the officials could not delay, so they could only accompany them while worrying about them.

Even further behind these officials and families were the carriages of some wealthy merchant families.

They hurried and hurried, wanting to get closer to the team in front of them, and they were in awe of the officials, and did not dare to ram their female dependents.

These are always opened by horses, and then there are many ox carts, carts, and even those who walk on two feet with their burdens on their backs.

The Holy Lord is the palace from the south, and for these people, this is to avoid the scourge of war and flee.

At first, it was quite energetic, but as the days passed, food, clothing, housing and transportation could not keep up, and there were many sick and injured.

At the same time, the Yang family's carriage was rushing from the back to the front.

Although the Yang family is in the middle of the road, and the family is divided, and the reputation is poor, but the family business has not failed, and there is no shortage of carriages in the family.

But they hesitated for too long before, and the Yang Xiyu brothers and their father began to discuss whether to leave or not to leave when they heard the rumors, and they did not make a decision until the saints were out of Beijing, and finally found that the few rooms that were divided had already disappeared, so they made up their minds to leave!

Only, the first wave was missed.

There is a carriage at home, but their family lives in the capital, and the carriage is delicate and comfortable, but it is not suitable for long journeys.

Outside the capital, even if it is an official road, it cannot be compared with the streets of the capital, and in a few days, three scholars have gold stars in their eyes, not to mention women and children.

And the horse is not a horse that can travel long distances, and it doesn't go far before it pants.

But they set off too late, and they didn't have enough time to go to the horse shop in the capital to pick two more good horses.

Of course, if you really pick it, you will pick it in vain, and the horses that flow to the horse market are all second-class, and the tall ones that can be pulled out of the short ones have already asked other families to buy them early with the silver, where is their turn to be so slow.

The most terrible thing is that the land deeds and land deeds brought out can only be seen and not eaten, and there are a lot of silver tickets, but at this moment, which money bank can redeem a large amount of silver money? Even if there were, it was heavy, and people couldn't move it, and horses couldn't pull it.

Yang Xicheng has been comforting the anxious Yang's father, saying that when he leaves Gyeonggi and goes south to the big city, he will slowly redeem it, and then buy carriages and horses again, and the cost of eating on the road will always be enough.

Father Yang was so anxious that he couldn't hold on, complaining and nagging day and night, in his opinion, everyone had fled, and there were no good ones in the capital, and there would be good goods left for them in the big cities along the way?

Originally, the people of the big cities and the teams that walked ahead of them were able to wrap up all the good chariots and horses.

The car was bumpy, the horse was not energetic enough, and Father Yang didn't like anything, and he scolded and scolded, which made the family very dull.

Most of the people who were walking slowly on the official road were blocked, and the carriages were very difficult to walk.

The handlebar style didn't dare to hurry, for fear of hitting someone, and after a while, he stopped for a while, so angry that Father Yang poked his head out of the carriage and scolded him: "Will you drive?" ”

Father Yang trained the handlebar style, and then looked at the people rushing by the roadside, and his face became more and more ugly.

Most of them are poor, and the clothes that can be patched are already neat.

"Speaking of which, they are all people from the suburbs of Beijing...... "Father Yang sat back and took a sip, "We still have to hurry up, don't they all say outside, that Pang Deng has entered Gyeonggi, and the people below have burned, killed, and plundered, and several towns and villages have been killed." ”

Yang Xicheng hurriedly said: "Don't listen to those rumors, everywhere is done by the Xiliang Army, and they are all bandits......

"You know something!" Father Yang blocked back, "Bandits? Where did the bandits come from on the edge of the capital?

You Laozi, I have traveled outside for so many years before, and I have never met bandits!

To put it bluntly, it's not that the war is making trouble now, one or two, and if the village can't live anymore, they can only be thieves to grab food and drink.

You wait and see, I'm afraid it will be even more chaotic in a while!

Just these people outside our car, now they are still running south, and they are really going to starve to death......

One is better than the other!

We are an official with a carriage, and a group of people have come up and robbed you all, and there is nowhere to excuse you!

You've also read books, so why don't you understand it! Isn't there a story in the book about changing children and eating during natural and man-made disasters in the past?

Your son is white and tender, you should be careful, wait for him to be caught and eaten! ”

I have to say that Father Yang is low and low, and there is still some truth in the previous paragraph, but the last sentence, which sounds like a bad thing at this moment, is really embarrassing.

Yang Xicheng looked at Father Yang with a bitter face, thanks to his wife Yang Zhong and his son were not in this carriage, otherwise Father Yang would not have been scared to death.

Father Yang snorted: "We have to hurry up and catch up with the carriage of the saint, it is all the Imperial Forest Army and the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and no bandit dares to make up his mind." ”

At this point, the father and son are unanimous.

They can't approach the saint's ceremonial car, but as long as they catch up with the carriages of those officials and their dependents, they will be much safer.

In case a bandit rushes out if he dies, can the officials in front of him ignore them?

The idea is right, but after all, it is a journey behind, and it is powerless to catch up.

After another day, the news came that Pomdon's army had surrounded the capital.

The city wall is tall, naturally it is not something that can be conquered in a short period of time, the Xiliang army is besieging the city on the one hand, and attacking the towns and villages of the four directions on the other, and now the suburbs of Beijing are already on fire.

Whether this message is true or not, everyone doesn't know, but it's enough to make people scared and panicked.

Father Yang was even more reluctant to delay, and he couldn't wait for twelve hours, but the handlebar style could hold up, but the horse was disobedient, so he had no choice but to stop and rest at night.

For the sake of safety, they chose to join many people, and in addition to being brave, they were also very vigilant.

Yang Xi stayed in the middle of the night, but he was too sleepy, sitting in front of the car and falling asleep in a daze, until he woke up with screams and cries from behind.

The crowd was shouting, shouting "The Xiliang Army is coming" and "The Xiliang Army is coming".

The fire was still rushing up, and the smell of blood was in the air.

Yang Xiyu was so frightened that he didn't even come back to his senses when Yang Xicheng asked him, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Yang Xicheng was also afraid, and insisted on dragging his younger brother into the carriage, ignoring the handlebar style that was so frightened that he pulled the reins himself.

For safety, during the nightstay, Yang Zhong took the children, together with Huamei, and the three of them were crowded in a car, which made it easier for them to escape, and the rest of the cars were gone, and no one cared about anything.

It's just that it's too chaotic all around, and the carriage can't break out at all.

The horse was frightened and shook the carriage left and right, back and forth, up and down, and Father Yang almost fell off the car.

In the confusion, I didn't know who it was, so I cut the reins, and the horse crashed and kicked the hooves of the man, leaving the people in the car unable to move forward.
