Chapter 227: Breaking the City
Chapter 227: Breaking the City
"Knock knock" The deafening sound of war drums
"Bang bang bang" is a heart-pounding sound of boulders crashing. (Vertex Hand Hit)
Rockets rained down into the city. Blaze burned all over the city, and cries and screams filled every corner of the city.
The officers and soldiers rode on horses and ordered the people to put out the fire, and for a while people turned on their backs and became a mess.
The theater was also affected by rockets, and Ah Xing commanded everyone to extinguish the fire.
"Be sure to take care of the food!" A-Xing also sent people to protect the grain. If they are besieged today, there is almost no grain in the city, and the rice of several rice shops in the city is forcibly requisitioned by officers and soldiers for the rations of the soldiers defending the city. Many people have nothing to eat, and looting happens from time to time, such as Axing's department store has long been looted by hungry people.
If it weren't for the large number of people in the theater and the strong martial arts, I am afraid that the little food would have been snatched away.
The people in the theater gathered in the open space in the backyard where they usually rehearsed, listening to the howls of ghosts and wolves outside, and the never-ending fighting on the other side of the city wall, and their eyes flashed with horror.
"The walls of Tiandu City are strong, those Jin people must not be able to attack it, right?"
A maid said with her lips trembling, hoping for an affirmative answer. Comfort her with the extreme fear of her emotions at this time. But all the people had a sad look on their faces, and the city walls were thick, but under the crazy attack of the Jin Kingdom regardless of losses, how long could they hold on? Moreover, there is a shortage of food in the city, but I am afraid that the Jin people have not yet come in, and there are not many people in the city who can survive.
At this time, another person asked, "If the Jin people really attack it, will they slaughter the city?" ”
The words "slaughter the city" made everyone tremble for a moment. Everyone knows that the Jin people are cruel, and they have heard that every time the Jin people win a battle, they will always kill all the enemy men and take the women for themselves, and they can't help but cry when they think of their future fate.
Ah Xing thought for a while, and said: "Everyone, no one knows what kind of fate tomorrow will be, now I will distribute the food to everyone, after the city is broken, in case the golden soldiers slaughter the city, everyone escapes, maybe there will be a glimmer of chance!" ”
Some people were scared and shook their heads again and again and said, "No, I don't want to be separated from everyone, I'm going to stay here!" ”
A Xing Zhengse said: "If everyone stays here with too big a goal, the resistance will attract the encirclement and suppression of the Jin soldiers, and only by breaking it into pieces, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" ”
This remark is not unreasonable, and everyone no longer opposes it at the moment. Ah Xing divided the rest of the grain equally among everyone. Then he asked all the women to change into men's clothes. Painted his face black, hoping to escape the humiliation of the golden soldiers.
Yun Duo hugged Ah Xing and cried: "What's the matter, why did these things happen, when we first came to the capital, we were still singing and dancing, and we were prosperous, why did it become like this in just a few years?" And that Bourtai prince, didn't he look like a very good person at the beginning? Talking to us is very kind, why did he become a big devil who kills people without blinking an eye in the blink of an eye? What the hell is going on? ”
All the women who said this cried, crying for the fate of the Tang Kingdom, and even more for their own fate.
Ah Xing couldn't help but think of what Bultai had said that year,
“…… When will the Jin Kingdom be like the Tang Kingdom, without bloodshed, without war, and all the people can live such a warm and rich life......
“…… Xiao Wang hopes that everyone can value harmony and reduce unnecessary bloodshed and injury......"
Ah Xing smiled coldly: "It turns out that a person can be so terrifying......"
Yun Duo raised his head and looked at Ah Xing puzzled: "Ah Xing, what do you mean by this?" ”
Chen Jing sighed on the side: "Fool, it's all an illusion, it's all an illusion of Prince Bourtai to confuse the world, but no one can see it at that time." What's the use of knowing that he's a terrible person at this point? ”
This is Li Yin holding the dough and walking to Ah Xing's side, Feng'er followed closely behind her, and the eyes of the three of them were red.
Li Yin said to Ah Xing: "Little sister, no matter what, our family must be together, whether we live or die, we will not be separated!" ”
Li Runfu and Liu Guihua also came around, grabbed A Xing's hand and wept, "Our family must be together!" ”
Ah Xing nodded, tears moistened her eyes, "Okay, no matter what, our family is together!" "However, where is her husband Yuanfeng at this time?
Yuanfeng, you promised me that you will definitely come back to see me safely! You can't break your word!
One night three days later, with a terrible scream outside the window: "The city is broken, the golden dog has entered the city!" The whole city of Tiandu fell into a panic, and then an earth-shattering sound of rushing and killing was heard from outside the city gate and inward like a tide, followed by the heavy sound of horses' hooves, the murmuring of the golden people, and the sound of killing, the screams of the people, and the cries of women.
On this night, Tiandu City became a hell on earth, and the scene was unbearable. Even the moon hid in the clouds, as if she couldn't bear to see this human tragedy.
There was also chaos in the theater, with cries and screams mixed together. Some have taken advantage of the chaos to rush out, while others have found a place to hide. At this time, Ah Xing had no way to take care of everyone. She packed up all the food and wanted to leave with her family. Either escape from the city or find a remote place to hide. The goal of the theater is too obvious, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the golden people find it.
But before he could go out, he only heard a uniform sound of heavy footsteps, and the theater was surrounded by a group of golden soldiers.
Ah Xing's heart sank, why did Jin Bing get here so quickly?
The people in the theater who had not yet had time to escape were all pale and looked in horror as a fierce golden soldier with a torch in his hand rushed in. After entering, they quickly separated, making way out, and the big knives in their hands flashed with a cold light, and some of the knives were even stained with blood. Extreme fear swept over everyone's heart, and everyone involuntarily leaned together.
Ah Xing, the Chen sisters, and some martial arts people protected the old and weak women and children behind them, and looked at the Jin soldiers who came in with an angry expression.
At this time, a man dressed in black armor and full of murderous aura came in, and Ah Xing quickly recognized him, he was the attendant who had been following Bultai.
He walked straight up to A-Xing, and then bent down. He bowed and said, "Madam, the emperor called Mu Lang to pick up Madame, please ask Madame to go with Mu Lang!" The expression was very respectful, which surprised the others. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was bought in this golden gourd!
Ah Xing looked at him and snorted coldly: "Why should I go with you!" But an impatience gradually rose in his heart.
Chen Jing put on a posture, and his whole voice exuded a fierce aura, which made Mu Lang look sideways slightly.
Mu Lang glanced at Chen Jing, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, which made Chen Jing secretly frightened, this person's kung fu was only afraid that it would no longer be under her. This one person alone is not easy to deal with, not to mention that there are hundreds of golden soldiers!
Mu Lang turned his head to Ah Xing and said, "Madam, if you want to keep these people safe, you can only follow me." Otherwise......" Mu Lang suddenly shouted: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" With this shout, the golden people showed their weapons in unison and shouted. Some timid women fainted suddenly!
Ah Xing secretly calculated the strength of the two parties, there were masters on their side, she might be able to protect her family and rush out, but dozens of other people would not be spared. After they leave, these people will definitely become a tool for the Jin people to vent their anger, and the end must be very miserable.
And even if they escape from the theater and face more Jin soldiers outside, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep their families safe in the end.
Now, there is no choice for her...... Only, what is the reason why Bourtai wants to see her? Although he was kind to her at the beginning, he was not very attentive, and now, he also knows that she is married, what else does he want?
But it's useless to think about anything now, now she can only keep everyone's safety first, and then she can only take one step at a time, no matter what, she will never do anything to betray Yuanfeng.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Ah Xing said to Mu Lang
"A-Xing!" The people around them spoke out one after another, their voices full of worry.
A few golden people came up and wanted to take Ah Xing away, Chen Jing immediately stepped forward to stop it, but Mu Lang gave him a look, and more than a dozen golden people stepped forward and aimed their big knives at the other people in the theater.
"Stop!" A-Xing exclaimed!
Mu Lang raised his hand, and those golden people stopped moving.
Chen Jing glared at Mu Lang fiercely, and had no choice but to retreat. Li Runfu rushed to the front of the people and cried: "Ah Xing, Ah Xing! Yun Duo and Li Yin also couldn't cry.
Mu Lang's attitude towards them was relatively gentle, and he said, "Don't worry, the emperor will never hurt Madame!" Saying that, he looked back at Ah Xing: "Madam, let's go!" ”
Ah Xing glanced back at everyone and saw that everyone was looking at her with teary eyes. He said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." As he spoke, he asked Mu Lang, "What about them?" ”
Mu Lang said: "As long as they don't leave the theater, they will be fine, and we will send someone to protect this place." ”
Hearing this, Ah Xing breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, everyone will not be in danger.
Ah Xing walked to her parents and sisters to comfort her, and then followed Mu Lang out of the theater.
A horse-drawn carriage was parked outside the theater. Mu Lang said to Ah Xing: "Please also ask Mrs. to get in the car." ”
Ah Xing asked, "Where are we going?" ”
A hint of arrogance appeared on Mu Lang's face: "Naturally, it's the palace!" ”
Palace! Ah Xing's eyes widened, could it be that they had captured the palace so quickly?
Mu Lang looked at the puzzlement on Ah Xing's face, and said with a sneer: "In the land of the dead country, there is never a shortage of people who know the current affairs, and someone has welcomed us into the palace!" ”
Ah Xing snorted coldly: "It's too early for the general to say that the country will be destroyed!" ”
Mu Lang smiled lightly and did not speak, but his expression was full of contempt and disdain, as well as the certainty that the overall situation had been decided.
Ah Xing got into the carriage, and the car slowly walked in the direction of the palace, along the way, only to see corpses all over the ground, mourning all over the field, firelight everywhere, and crying everywhere. There is even a traitor in the street!
Ah Xing put down the car curtain, her heart was full of sorrow, but what could she do to stop all this?
The carriage arrived at the palace and entered through the main entrance of the palace, which was full of arrows and weapons, and blood was all over the ground, indicating that there must have been a fierce battle just now. Every few steps, you can see the corpses of eunuchs or Praetorian Guards. And you can faintly hear the screams of women floating from nowhere and the laughter of men.
At this time, the palace no longer has the solemn and majestic momentum it had at the beginning, and the entire palace was shrouded in a deep night, which seemed so depressed and depressed.
Mu Lang placed Ah Xing in an elegant courtyard, sent a few maids and eunuchs, and left without saying anything.
Ah Xing stood in the hall and looked at this gorgeous palace, resplendent with golden and veils flying, it was obvious where the emperor's concubines lived. What did Bourtai mean by bringing her here? Could it be that he still has bad intentions towards himself?
What to do? If so, what should she do?
At this time, the two palace maids walked in tremblingly.
Seeing that they were still wearing Tang costumes, Ah Xing asked, "Are you Tang?" ”
The two palace maids immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ah Xing tremblingly: "The noble man spares his life, the noble man spares his life, and the slave and maid will definitely serve the noble man well!" ”
Ah Xing said softly: "Don't be afraid, I am also a Tang person, I was arrested, I will not hurt you, you get up first!" ”
When the two palace maids heard her say this, they raised their heads to look at Ah Xing, and saw that Ah Xing was also wearing Tang clothes, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them shouted: "Mrs. Anwar!" ”
A Xingqi said: "Do you know me?" ”
At this time, the two palace maids got up and walked to Ah Xing's side, and the palace maid whose name was her title was called said with tears in her eyes: "The slave maid once saw the lady to recognize the lady, and the lady was also arrested?" It must have been the golden man who heard that the lady was born beautiful......"
Ah Xing said softly: "Don't cry, it's a blessing that we can survive......"
Another palace maid trembled and said, "Yes, many people have died in the palace, and many people who are familiar with us have died......
"What about the emperor? And what about the queen and the concubines? A-Xing asked
"The emperor and the queen were arrested, some of the concubines died by self-determination, and those who didn't have time to cut themselves were taken away by those golden people...... There are also many palace maids who have been taken away, but we have been left behind, it turns out that we are here to take care of you, Madame. ”
The maid wiped away her tears and said, "It's late at night, and the slaves and maidservants go to fetch water to serve the lady to rest." ”
As he spoke, one of them stepped back, while the other went to the inner room to tidy up.
Ah Xing followed in, and saw that the interior was very elegantly arranged, and every utensil was very exquisite, with a bed against the east wall, covered with brocade bedding, and the pink veil hanging down, which had a different feeling.
Ah Xing looked at the palace maid who was cleaning up and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The palace maid turned around and replied: "If Mrs. Hui speaks, the slave maid is called Lu Ying, and the one just now is called Qiu Yue." ”
Ah Xing asked again: "Whose bedroom is this?" ”
"This is the concubine's bedroom."
As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and Ah Xing turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Burtai in military uniform walking in like a whirlwind.
