Chapter 547: Morning Bell
The prince covered his face and screamed, "There are assassins—"
Under the city walls, there is more and more chaos.
"When the prince came, he didn't dare to enter the city, so it can be seen that he wanted to lock us up in the city and wait for death. Let us out! ”
"Yes, let us out, we're going to get out, we're going to live—"
People poured in from all directions, and more and more people gathered in front of the city gate, faintly breaking through the city gate.
Zhao Shilang glared at the stupid Qianhe County Commander fiercely, and hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Highness, you should go down the city wall first." ”
The prince was busy.
It's too dangerous, are these pariahs crazy, even the prince dares to attack!
Zhao Shilang covered the prince to retreat from the city wall, but Yu Jin did not move.
Bloodshed has broken out at the city gates.
Seeing that a man was about to break down the city gate, the gatekeeper could not bear it anymore and took his spear and picked it up.
The man was stabbed in the chest, screamed, and hung his head.
This movement immediately calmed the people who stormed the city gates.
How dare these unarmed civilians confront the officers and soldiers on weekdays, but they are just threatening death and have no choice but to resist.
Suddenly, I found that the people around me died tragically, and the crowd fell silent all of a sudden.
Yu Jin dragged the prince who was climbing down the ladder outside the city: "Second brother, you have to say a few words about this situation, otherwise a bigger conflict will break out." ”
The prince hurriedly shook off Yu Jin's hand: "Don't be kidding, I didn't say anything and let the broken shoes attack, if I say a few more words, the attack on me will become a sharp arrow!" ”
Yu Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Second brother is too worried, where did the people who were affected by the disaster get the arrows?" There aren't many broken shoes left. ”
"No, absolutely not!" The prince pulled out his sleeves and hurriedly climbed down the wall ladder.
And after a short lull under the city gate, a woman holding a child in her arms screamed: "Tiger baby, father, you can't die, what if you die, what should you do with the children?" ”
The boy in the woman's arms wept aloud.
Suddenly, the woman rushed to the city gate with the boy in her arms, and shouted frantically: "Please, show mercy, I will not go out, let my son go out, my son is not sick, he is really not sick-"
Several spears stood in front of the woman.
The woman pushed the child in her arms towards one of the soldiers: "Save my child, he is a good child, and he cannot stay in the city and die...... I won't leave, let me go, I won't go, I'm going back to take care of Niuniu-"
The woman's shout made the soldier's face a little unbearable, but the officer's order could not be disobeyed, as the woman sent the child forward, the spear in her hand subconsciously stabbed over, and when the reaction came back and forth, the child had been stabbed, making an earth-shattering cry.
"Tiger head, my tiger head!" Holding the blood-stained child, the woman finally broke down, lowered her head and rushed towards the spear, "You brutes just kill me, our family is reunited—"
Yu Jin's eyes shrank, picked up the broken shoe that smashed at the prince and threw it out.
The broken shoe hit the woman's knee, and the woman's leg fell to the ground.
It all happened in the flames, and the people thought that the woman and the child had been stabbed to death by the spears of the gatekeepers.
If the death of a man made these people temporarily afraid, the death of the woman and the child unleashed the violence in their hearts.
The soldiers who were supposed to defend their homes and the people raised their swords and guns against the women and children, so what hope did they have?
There is no other way but to save yourself.
The crowd became more and more riotous.
Yu Jin scolded: "These fools! ”
The situation that could have been controlled, as long as the prince said a few appropriate words, he could avoid these fearless bloodsheds, but the prince fled as soon as possible, so that the scene began to get out of control.
"Bow and arrow!" Yu Jin stretched out his hand.
On the side, Long Dan immediately handed over the longbow and quiver.
Yu Jin took out an arrow from the quiver, quickly bent the bow and pulled the string, and the arrow flew out like a meteor.
The sharp arrow broke through the air and headed straight for the high bell tower.
"Hum-" The solemn and melodious bell suddenly rang and resounded throughout the city.
Two more arrows were fired in quick succession, and the bell rang again, spreading farther.
The drums sounded, the gates were closed, and thousands of families fell asleep; When the bell rings, the city gates are opened, and people begin their day's work.
The morning bell and dusk drum were used to hearing by the people of the city, but since the disaster, they have not heard the bell that symbolizes the dawn.
Without dawn, there is only darkness.
The people froze in place, a little stupid, and then involuntarily chased the trajectory of the arrow, looking at the young man standing on the city wall.
The young man who bent his bow and drew arrows turned against the light, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he could see his posture as tall as an aspen.
Seeing that the scene was suppressed, Yu Jin jumped down from the city wall with a calm face.
"Lord Wang!" Zhao Shilang, who hadn't had time to leave, was shocked.
The city wall, which was less than two feet, fell to the ground without any difficulty for Yu Jin, and also fell in front of those people.
"I am the seventh son of the current saint, King Yan." After Yu Jin finished speaking, he strode towards them.
The people couldn't help but get out of the way.
Yu Jin walked through with a blank face, walked up to the woman who had fallen in the grass on the side of the road, and bent down to pick up the boy who was so frightened that he forgot to cry.
The boy's shoulder was still bleeding.
"Long Dan!" Yu Jin shouted.
Long Dan, who had already jumped off the city wall with Yu Jin, ran over: "Lord Wang? ”
"Bandage this child's wounds."
Long Dan hurriedly picked up the boy.
As soon as the boy arrived in Long Dan's arms, he began to cry.
Those who were originally desperate and numb laughed happily as they listened to the cry of their children.
It turns out that the doll is fine!
The human heart is so strange, for these victims who have no way to live, what they thought was the death of a boy became the last straw that crushed them. And when they know that the child is still alive, the hope of birth is like a spring sprout, quietly breeding.
After a while, the woman who had fallen on the grass also got up and looked at Yu Jin in fear.
Yu Jin smiled and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this king will take your child out of the city and settle him down." ”
"Really?" The woman's eyes burst with intense surprise.
"I came to visit you with the crown prince on the order of the Son of Heaven, so naturally I won't promise casually, but sister-in-law is willing to believe me?"
The woman looked at the young man's handsome face and nodded vigorously: "The little woman believes—"
She was halfway through her sentence when she burst into tears.
This cry caused hundreds of people to cry along.
They just stood, raising their hands to wipe their tears. Men, women, and children wept loudly.
It's a strange scene, almost unheard of, but it's also very shocking.
At least Zhao Shilang was shocked.
He can be assigned as the chief official to command the disaster relief, in the eyes of Emperor Jingming, he is naturally a cadre, and he was helpless to retreat with the prince before, and he was dragged back by the prince.
Looking at the young man who jumped into the city, Zhao Shilang rolled up his sleeves.
The respect of the prince of King Yan is still and he does not spare his own life, what is he!
