Chapter 13: Resign from the Emperor

After seeing Xu Jiao, I realized that the main target of the Liao army's search this time was the royal family of Daqi.

When the Liao people just broke the city, they approached the palace, and the mansions of many princes and princes in the capital could not be taken into account for a while, so that many clans took advantage of the chaos to escape from the mansion and hide in the city. This time, the search team of the Liao army prepared to divide the entire Qi capital into dozens of territory boundaries, and blocked all the main roads, led the troops to search door to door, and at the same time posted notices in the entire capital, those who dared to hide the royal family of Qi State would be killed, and those who reported it would be rewarded.

Fortunately, Xu Frame, as an espionage organization, was originally good at lurking in the dark line, and although the Liao people's search was strict this time, it could not endanger Donglailou's head for a while.

But after not knowing how many times the Liao army searched, Qi Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Now, it is not safe for us to stay in the city after all, and we must find a way to escape from the city." Being vigilant like this every day really makes people worry that maybe the Liao army will come in soon, wipe us all out, and drag us to the entrance of the vegetable market to be cut down on the spot. ”

"That's you," Su Mi said with a smile: "Compared to the noble prince, my little eunuch is of course insignificant." ”

The two have been hiding in Donglai Tower for almost two months, and in these two months, the rule of the Liao people has become more and more solid, and after several repeated searches, countless royal bloodlines that were hidden in time when the city was broken were found, and the city was tense. These days, Su Mi didn't dare to take off the mask on his face, and the Liao people could break through the door and forcibly search at any time. Qi Hao has martial arts. There were no outstanding masters among the soldiers who searched for them, but they could dodge in time. But in the long run, this is not the way to go.

"With such a beautiful little eunuch, how can Liao Jun let it go. Qi Hao stretched his waist and said with a long laugh.

Su Mi's face flushed, and he glanced at him angrily.

"Originally, I thought that after the Liao people entered Beijing, there were a lot of things and messy affairs. I didn't expect their search to be so thorough. It must be that he wants to cut down the grass and remove the obstacles to his future rule. Qi Hao continued.

Su Mi also nodded and said, "I have already eaten the meat in my mouth." No one will spit it out obediently. "Especially such a piece of fat that fell into the mouth of such a hungry wolf. Now the Liao army searched for royalty and nobles in the whole city, and recruited people in the whole city, strengthened the city head, built fortifications, and wanted to occupy the city for a long time.

"We are trapped in the city, and we don't know what's going on outside the city or even on the ground. If it goes on like this, it is just at the mercy of others. Qi Hao said with a headache. After the Liao army entered the city, the iron bucket-like siege outside the city was naturally lifted, but the Liao people set up many checkpoints at the city gate, patrolling vigilance, cautious and cautious, and the contact with the outside of the city was still extremely inconvenient.

During this period of time, rumors were full of rumors in the capital of Daqi, especially those news that Ni Yuan had broken through the capital of Nanchen on the southern front. It was even more popular, but even if Emperor Chen opened the city to surrender, or Ni Yuan had already bought off the traitors in the city and introduced them as foreign aid, and secretly opened the city to let the Qi army enter, the rumors were ambiguous and unclear.

However, these rumors brought endless hope to the people of the capital of Daqi. It seems that once Qi Long and Ni Yuan break through Nanchen's capital, they will be done, and they will wave their army north at any time, just like they did with the soldiers and horses of Nanchen, leaving no piece of armor left behind these Liao people who oppressed and abused them. Therefore, despite the heavy pressure of the Liao army and the strict control, these small rumors are still like weeds at the beginning of spring, quickly sowing a little green in the hearts of the people.

I am afraid that the people of the capital have never been so supportive and eager for their emperor as they are now.

If they know the truth of the matter. Know Ni Yuan's earth-shaking conspiracy. What would you think?

"Although Ni Yuan wants to use the hands of the Liao army to clear the road for him, is Yeluxin such an obedient person who is at the mercy of others? When the time comes, I want to recapture the capital. There will be another fierce battle in the future. Su Mi couldn't help but say.

Ni Yuan wouldn't have expected this, and he must have already arranged the next move. Just like last time, it must have been his people who burned all the grain and grass in Qi Jing. Qi Hao sighed. When he broke the city, he ordered his men to burn all the grain and grass stored in the storehouse, but he was preempted.

The lack of food and grass of the Liao army has always been their fatal wound, and the last time the Liao army attacked, it was because of the lack of food and grass that they had to retreat with hatred when they were about to finish. The grain and grass reserves in the capital are abundant, enough for the people of the city to spend for two or three years, and the Liao army occupies Qijing, so naturally there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass. How could Ni Yuan be willing to let the situation develop like this, so that he would lose his killer weapon to restrain the Liao people, so he sent people to stay in the city and simply burn the grain and grass clean.

This move can be called killing two birds with one stone, as soon as it comes, the supply of the Liao army will be completely pinched in his hands, and there will be one more capital with the Liao people. Second, in order to collect grain, the Liao army had only to rob the old way, once the people were robbed, they would inevitably have enmity with the capital and nearby villages and towns.

When he led the army back from the Southern Dynasty, the people would be willing to do so, and all the people would return to their hearts.

Now that I think about it, Ni Yuan has already calculated every step.

"What else could he not think of?" Although he was an enemy, Qi Hao's heart couldn't help but rise with admiration.

"Don't forget that this time the Liao army was brought by him, this is an indisputable fact. Once the people of the capital know this, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable. Ni Yuan wanted to make his people want, but it was an indisputable fact that he secretly colluded with the Liao, and the people did not know about his conspiracy at this time.

"He is not wrong, but who can prove it? Now there are rumors, and even if we spread this news now, it will only be regarded as one of the rumors by the people. Qi Hao shook his head and said.

Su Mi was silent, it had been two months since the Liao army entered the city, and rumors had already arisen in the capital. What Liao people have the help of immortals, and the Great Qi has been fighting for many years, and the heavens are angry and resentful, resulting in the severance of the heavenly veins; What Juyu guards will commit treason to the enemy and collude with the Liao people to enter the customs; Some people swore to the sky that Qi Long had captured Nanchen and led his army north; There are also people who swear that Qi Long has died on the battlefield of Nan Chen. Great Qi is doomed; There are also people who say that Prince Cheng did not die at all, and that he defeated Qi Long by deceitful death. I'm about to go north,...... Even rumors about Qi Hao himself, there are more than ten kinds of rumors such as treason and surrender, death in the chaos, absconding from the city, etc., which make people speechless.

All kinds of contradictory rumors have been concocted in the endless panic and chaos of the people in the capital, and perhaps the more people are in fear and helplessness. It's becoming easier and easier for people to believe in these things that come out of nowhere.

In fact, after careful consideration, rumors have been rising all these days, and it is not without Ni Yuan's credit for secretly leaving people in the capital to help the trouble.

And as long as he calms the world, what he says in the history books will not be up to him at that time. As long as you make up the news that there is a secret road in the mountains on the side of the border pass, you can recite it among the people. Anyway, the area from Juyuguan to Yongzhou is full of mountains, and the terrain is steep. It also makes sense for the Liao people to find a passage from it. Qi Hao smiled mockingly.

Su Mi also sighed lightly, the people are good at forgetting, and for the heroes who saved them from fire and water, they will naturally desire to exonerate him.

"So to speak. In this troubled era, all the people's hearts are empty, and only the army is the most important. Qi Hao's tone seemed to be emotional, but this deliberate emotion made people deeply feel the solemnity and ruthlessness in it: "Now that we stay in the city, we can't do anything." It has also completely lost contact with the outside of the city, and even Ni Yuan's soldiers and horses don't know where they are now, and they must go out of the city. ”

"But now that the Liao State is tightly blocked, the entire Qijing is allowed to enter and not leave, how can you leave the city?"

"With such a big city, can the Liao army still be able to hold it all the time? As long as you pay attention to it, you don't have to worry about finding the right time. Qi Hao smiled confidently and said to Su Mi, "Do you want to go out with me?" ”

Su Mi hesitated, Qi Hao would talk about this topic today, and he must have a full grasp of leaving the city. Is she going to go along? Staying in the capital and relying on the strength in her hands can still guarantee safety. But trapped inside the high walls. The contact with the outside world was sluggish, and she was extremely worried about Chen Yan and Ge Chengming.

And......

This world. After all, you still have to leave the capital to be able to grasp the turnaround!

She looked up at Qi Hao and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the cold winter night, no one likes to be cold outside, even if the Liao army has strict military orders and law enforcement like a mountain, they can't help but slack off. What's more, they have been in the city for so many days, and after several harsh lessons, no one in the capital dares to resist them without a long look.

Several Liao soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city and inspecting the land hid behind the battlements to avoid the wind, stomping their feet and whispering,

"Didn't you say that the weather in the Central Plains was good and warm? Why is it as cold as we are on the prairie these days? ”

"Isn't it? The wind in this city was so strong that it was about to blow people away when it stood on the wall. ”

"The hell is when it is going to snow again. Everyone looked up at the sky, and the snow particles began to fall from the sky again.

"Damn, isn't that kid just because his brother-in-law is in the law enforcement team, and now he can be happy in the house with a woman, but we have to drink the northwest wind here. One soldier whispered. As soon as these words came out, several soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads to look at a castle hut not far away, where there was a faint sound of men's laughter, occasionally mixed with women's shrill voices.

Several soldiers swallowed in unison.

"It is said that this girl in the Central Plains is born with a water spirit, this sentence is not bad, needless to say, just the little girl in the house, it really makes people want to drool when they look at it. The soldier looked at the brightly lit hut and salivated.

"Bah, I don't know," said the other soldier, spitting and looking a little playful, "You haven't seen the real water spirit, you don't know." The most beautiful places are all in the palace, and they have long been divided by the generals, and I am afraid you will not even have a chance to see each other. ”

"We also know that there are many beautiful women in the palace, we can't see them, so it's so hard that you have the opportunity to see them with your own eyes. Another soldier said disdainfully.

"I haven't seen it. The soldier smirked, "Don't forget, last time, I followed our leader to the palace to restore my life." Hey. But he was led into the main hall. If nothing else, let's just talk about the one next to our king. My mother, I just saw it......"

Several of the soldiers looked at him nervously, their eyes wide as he waited for him to continue.

The Liao army held back for a while before he said: "...... It's just beautiful anyway! I don't know what to say, anyway, if I can get her to stay with me for the night, hehe. It's just a 10-year short life. ”

"You really say that the earth is so godly!"

"Why not? Am I still talking nonsense, isn't it the most beautiful to be able to accompany our king? ”

"But last time I heard that the palace was still searching for a more beautiful ......."

Several Liao soldiers exchanged heads and talked about it.

The topic came to women, and several people talked more about God, and their voices gradually became louder. Not noticing that someone was jumping over the wall of the tower above them.

The night was sluggish, taking advantage of the night, Qi Hao took Su Mi to sneak around the city for a while, and the two had reached the middle of the two city towers.

Qi Hao vigilantly checked the movements around him, and the guards were now concentrated in the shelter on the city tower. No one is paying attention to this side in the cold winter weather.

This year's Qijing, the weather is extremely cold, it is already March, it is snowing again, the snow is blowing one after another, and the whole Qijing is extremely cold and unbearable. The Liao soldiers inspecting the city walls hurriedly walked past the city. He trotted back to his sheltered house.

Seeing that there were no eyes and ears of the Liao people around, Qi Hao didn't have time to hesitate, he quickly hung the hook and sickle and threw the long rope down.

Tightening the rope with both hands, he jumped down from the top of the city and crawled down the rope without a sound. Su Mi crouched on his back, walked halfway, looked at his skillful skills, and couldn't help but whisper in his ear: "The movements are so skillful, I really doubt that you have been a thief before." ”

With a faint warm fragrance lingering in Qi Hao's ears. It is as tranquil and clear as a magnolia flower. Qi Hao felt his heart warm.

"Isn't that a thief?" He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm still a flower thief, and now the loot is behind me." ”

"Haha. What to say? There is not the slightest seriousness. Su Mi couldn't help but reach out and punch him funny.

Now the road ahead is vast and the snow is falling, but the body under her body is warm and solid, which makes Su Mi feel at ease for a while, maybe there is ice and snow between heaven and earth, but there is still such a warmth that she can trust and rely on.

Qi Hao had already crawled to the bottom of the city along the hook.

Su Mi looked up, and the walls of the dark boulders towered into the sky, almost reaching the sky. Looking up from such a close angle, the walls seem to be pressed down, and they are filled with great force. Tightly enclosed by such walls is like an abyss with no edge in sight and no hope in sight.

She was finally freed from this cage, she suddenly thought. She had set foot in the city two years earlier in the early spring, a spring that had changed her life completely, and two years later, on an equally cold early spring, she had left the city.

These two years seem to be very short, but they seem to be very long, and it seems that a lot has happened, and nothing seems to have changed.

Su Mi turned his head, on the other side of the ground behind him, the cold moon and cold night, the snow was misty, and the cold moonlight swayed on the white and almost dazzling snow, glowing with a hazy brilliance, making people look at it, only to feel that their eyes were stabbed and painful, and there seemed to be only a piece of snow left between heaven and earth. The road is long, the snow is falling, and the sky is at a loss.

Inside the walls and outside the walls, there are two worlds.

Qi Hao was not idle, he shook the rope in his hand, and the hook and sickle flew down from the city wall, he reached out to catch it and stuffed it into his arms.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Hao turned to look at her, interrupting her contemplation, and he smiled: "Let's go quickly, in a while, the Liao army that came to inspect will pass by." ”

As he spoke, he took Su Mi's hand.

The reassuring warmth and strength came from the clasped hands of the two of them. Su Mi nodded, at least, she wasn't alone now.

The two held hands and walked away in the snow with the vast moonlight.
