Chapter 177: Zang

ο»Ώ

Zhang Qi somehow, knowing that it was a nightmare, was always uneasy. Recommended [Jing'an]: / Tossed for most of the night, in the early hours of the morning, she finally fell asleep.

Shortly after she fell asleep, she suddenly woke up to a scream. Accompanied by the sound of neighing, there was also the sound of horses' hooves galloping through the city, causing the ground to "shake".

Zhang Qi hurriedly got up, but saw that the flames outside were soaring into the sky, and there were thick smoke rolling up with the flames in the south, east, west, and north. Accompanied by the fireworks that soared into the sky, there was also the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and wild laughter. After a moment of silence, suddenly, countless desperate screams were heard, "The city is brokenβ€”"

"Run, the city is broken!"

However, such a scream is often heard not long after it starts!

Listening and listening, Zhang Qi quickly stood up with a white face.

Oh no, it's really broken!

In the panic, she hurriedly retreated, and after putting on her shoes, she curled her hair, tied it up three times and two times, and then reached out on the ground and "touched", and took out a large handful of dirt and pasted it on her face.

After subconsciously making this series of actions, Zhang Qi suddenly remembered that she was now Yuwenyong's concubine, and there was someone to protect her.

In her thoughts, she hurried out.

Zhang Qi, who rushed out in a panic, just rushed to the door of the room, and saw that the dean was also in chaos. She rushed to the door of Yu Wenyong's room, shouted "Your Majesty," and rushed in.

The door was not closed, and the room was empty, not only Yu Wenyong, but even the guards around him.

Yes, Yu Wenyong didn't sleep here these two nights. He doesn't sleep here!

Zhang Qi panicked and turned around sharply.

She bumped into an old eunuch.

Seeing this old eunuch who had served by Yu Wenyong's side all the year round, Zhang Qi hurriedly said, "What about Your Majesty? She gasped, "Did the Turks break the city?" ”

The old eunuch raised his cloudy eyes, he looked at Zhang Qi, and said, "There is an emergency, Your Majesty has evacuated." Empress. You have to take care of yourself. The old eunuch said: "If you have to fall into their hands, don't panic, the Turks will not kill the women." If you fall into their hands, Your Majesty can still redeem some cattle and horses. ”

Zhang Qi understood what he meant.

She stepped back and muttered, "Your Majesty has already withdrawn?" ”

"Yes...... It happened suddenly. No one thought that the Turks would collude with the rich people in the city and break the city with the inside and outside. His Majesty wants to wake up Niangniang, but the ministers are not allowed, the residence is too far away and inconvenient, and if there are too many people, the goal will be big, and Niangniang is a weak woman, and if she can't walk, it will affect Your Majesty. Niangniang, don't be sad, Your Majesty still misses you. No, he left the old slave behind and came to inform the mother of this. ”

The old eunuch was calm.

He looked at Zhang Qi with pity for his neighbors.

Zhang Qi didn't need his mercy.

She grabbed a knife and quickly pushed the old eunuch away and rushed out. One out of the dean. She went back and crashed into another room, picked up a eunuch robe and put it on, then filled her arms with the pastries scattered on one side, and then Zhang Qi took the knife and twisted her hair.

After the green silk fell all over his head, leaving only shoulder-length hair. Zhang Qi quickly rushed towards the garden. In the garden, there were servants who were so frightened that they were fleeing, and when they saw that Zhang Qi was also fleeing, they screamed and panicked, and a flash of despair flashed in their eyes.

At this time, the sound of killing outside the courtyard was getting closer and closer, and with the screams, the wild laughter of the Turks could be seen from time to time, and it was getting closer and closer.

Not good, this courtyard has not been guarded for a long time, and Zhang Qi, who ran into the garden, found one of the three wells used for drinking water in this courtyard after a while. After wrapping the rope around the barrel a few times, she suspended the barrel at the mouth of the well.

Then she stood in the barrel. As she looked at the rope, the wooden barrel after adding her weight quickly sank down, and after a while, there was a sound of a horn, and in the splash of water, Zhang Qi and the wooden barrel fell to the surface of the water together.

Sitting down in the bucket, Zhang Qi looked up at it, took a deep breath, and took out the knife and cut it on the rope. Then she grabbed the broken rope that dangled in front of her, and threw it with a loud swish, throwing it out of the well.

Then, with a long sigh of relief, she leaned feebly against the rim of the barrel.

She looked up at the sky, at the mouth of the well, red light was permeated, and she was the only one in the world, hiding in this dark and secluded deep well.

When Zhang Qi shrank up, there was a roar outside, and the ground shook and shook, but it was the Turks who came in!

The sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by the wild laughter of the Turks, and in every burst of laughter, a scream was heard.

In the midst of the chaos, Zhang Qi heard a Turkic say in a Zhou accent: "What about the Emperor of Zhou?" What about your Emperor? β€œ

In the midst of the man's repeated questioning, another Turk shouted: "Don't kill, ask him, where is the emperor, where is the beauty beside the emperor?" ”

The third Turk laughed and said, "Tell me, where is the beauty?" Da Shan Yu said, offering that beauty, you can get a thousand sheep. ”

The last sentence was spat out, and all the Turks screamed at the same time.

In this kind of screaming and screaming, the voices of the people around them became smaller and smaller.

After a while, Zhang Qi heard several footsteps coming in her direction. In the footsteps, she heard the old eunuch's trembling voice, "Your Majesty is gone, really gone, but the mother didn't leave, and the old slave saw that she fled in this direction." ”

After the old eunuch pointed nonsense for a while, Zhang Qi heard a Turk shout: "Spread out, and whoever finds the beauty will have a reward of ten taels!" ”

"Wow-" Almost as soon as the roar came out, a cheer shook the sky.

After a while, Zhang Qi felt that footsteps appeared next to the well. Along with the footsteps came the chatter of the Turks.

Zhang Qi curled up in the barrel and froze.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly, knowing that she was hiding so deep that her breathing would not be heard, but she just didn't dare to breathe.

It was probably too stiff, and she felt the barrel beneath her, because her body was not relaxed enough, gently "swinging" in the well water. When the barrel breaks through the water. That voice was obviously very small in the chaos, but when it reached her ears, it was amplified countless times, countless times......

Zhang Qi closed her eyes and bit her lip, and before she knew it, her lip had been bitten.

In the dark. She clutched the knife tightly.

She's always been timid, and she knows if she's willing to scratch this face. She could have gotten the peace she wanted a long time ago. But she loves beauty, loves very much, and is not desperate. She was reluctant to destroy it.

She also knew that if she was really not afraid of death, she would fall into the hands of the Turks, and it would be a big deal to seek death, so there was no need to be so nervous. * But she can't, she's just afraid of death, she has a moment of stability, and she covets that moment......

In the boundless darkness, she felt panicked because her eyes were closed. I almost took a big breath a few times.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Qi slowly opened his eyes.

She stared at the wall of the well with wide eyes.

I don't know why, at this time, in this helplessness. When he was about to face an unimaginable fate in the next moment, Zhang Qi remembered someone.

A man she swore never to think about.

She thought that he was bad in a thousand ways, but when it came to life and death, he should not let her go. Escape alone......

She thought that he was stubborn and self-righteous, that he was too self-respecting and self-confident, and that he was never willing to face his shortcomings, but if he really wanted him to sacrifice his "wife" for the sake of glory and wealth, he would not be willing to die......

In this boundless darkness, in the noisy search above, Zhang Qi secretly thought: Although he was unwilling to give her dignity and status, and unwilling to marry her as his wife, she, at this time, still only thought of him.

Just think about it, just think about it...... Once sober, once faced, she and him, life and death are different, different "holes", after all, they are still strangers, forever, they can only be strangers.

There are more and more footsteps.

In the footsteps, there was more and more shrill laughter.

Zhang Qi held her breath more and more.

She knew that as long as she avoided this formation, she would be relieved. These Turks entered the city for robbery, and if they could not find it for a long time, and the time was delayed too much, they themselves became impatient.

While he was thinking like this, suddenly a voice came from the mouth of the well, "This rope is broken." ”

He's talking about the rope that carries the water from the well!

Zhang Qi's heart suddenly hung in his throat, and his two hands held the handle of the knife tightly.

At this time, the other person said, "Show me." Then I don't know what the man said, but he came to the mouth of the well with a torch.

Looking at the burning torches at the mouth of the well, Zhang Qi's lips were bitten unconsciously, and a fishy smell filled her nose.

Immediately afterwards, a bearded face appeared at the mouth of the well, and after glancing at the well, he shook the water handle in his hand into the well.

Beads of sweat the size of beans began to flow down Zhang Qi's cheeks, little by little, into her lips and stinging her eyes.

As she held her breath, stiff and stiff, the man stood up and said, "It's too deep to see." ”

Finally, another impatient voice came, "Let's go." ”

Then, Zhang Qi's eyes darkened, but the two of them left with torches.

At this point, Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes, leaned heavily against the wall of the bucket, and with her movements, the well water sounded loudly.

In the silence of the night, the sound was so harsh, but fortunately no one heard the noise outside.

After the two men left, the searching Turks apparently lost interest, and gradually, the light of the torches above Zhang Qi became dimmer and dimmer.

However, accompanied by the dim light of the torches, there were heavy footsteps, and in the footsteps, there were people shouting, "Put down the heavy ones, take what you can move." ”

Another scolded and said: "Damn, these Central Plains people are boring, what kind of solid wood and heavy iron do they have money, and they all change them to gold, silver and jewelry, isn't it more convenient?" ”

In the midst of the scolding, suddenly, an object fell from the well, hitting Zhang Qi's forehead, and suddenly, she was bleeding.

Stuffing his hand in his mouth and blocking the painful hum that almost blurted out, Zhang Qi wiped the blood that had flowed from his eyes, and reached out to "touch" the object. It turned out to be a carved wooden paperweight. In the dark, I don't know what kind of wood this is, how it is so heavy, it hits her wounds, and the blood is gurgling, and she can't hide it.

In pain, Zhang Qi clutched her forehead tightly and waited for time to pass.

###οΏ₯οΏ₯

I have never understood that Shi Chong's house in the Jin Dynasty was the one who could cut off the heads of beauties one after another in order to persuade guests to drink, why could a beauty like Luzhu be martyred for him after he died? Lu Zhu is by his side, but he is just a favorite concubine, no name, no status, Shi Chong himself is still such a cruel and vicious person, who treats human life like a mustard. What was the green bead jumping from the upper floor?

When I was writing this book, I often thought about it. (To be continued)
