(69) Burning Luoyang
Wailing and screaming came and went.
What kind of world is this? This is clearly purgatory.
The firelight reflected the gorgeous and beautiful face of Princess Wan, who always stood high on the high place, smiling so gracefully. As if there was not a fire in front of her, as if she was just attending a gala dinner, as if ...... A moth to a fire......
Dong Zhuo's defeat was within her calculations; Dong Zhuo is not dead, and it is also in her calculations.
The coalition army is a double-edged sword, she wants to use it, but she is worried that the situation of the princes will appear by coercing the Son of Heaven, and now she has burned this Luoyang with her own hands to delay the entry of the coalition army, what is she thinking?
"I'm really reluctant." Princess Wan spoke.
Those heat waves came in, and I frowned and retreated, and the whole palace ...... They were all caught in a sea of fire.
"Guess Dong Zhuo will come to save you?" Looking down at me, Princess Wan smiled strangely.
"Isn't there a secret passage here? Princess Wan is so laid-back, she should be safe. "I slowed down my voice and tried to ignore everything around me.
"Huh." She chuckled.
"Oh no, no, Your Highness Princess!" The palace maid Xiaomei rushed over in a panic, her hair was half off, her dress was full of dirt, and even the corner of her skirt was burned.
"What's the alarm?"
"The eighth and ninth princesses are not in the dormitory...... The slave and maid searched everywhere, but they didn't find any trace of the two princesses......" Xiaomei said with tears on her face.
"What?!" The smile disappeared in an instant, and Princess Wan's eyes widened with a look of horror, "Didn't you let you send the princesses out of the palace first!" ”
"The other highnesses are safe, but only the eighth and ninth princesses are missing......," Xiao Mei cried.
Princess Wan's face turned pale, completely losing the calm look she had just now.
"Search the palace!"
"But ......"
"I command you, search the palace! I can't find Xiaoyou Xiaoai, you all have to be buried together! Princess Wan shouted.
Xiaoyou Xiaoai? It sounds so familiar, and when I think about it carefully, that pair of cute twin princesses appear in my mind.
The heat wave was approaching, the air was full of burning smell, and the scarlet tongue of fire rushed straight into the beams of the house, and the beams and pillars on the east side collapsed instantly.
They...... I'm afraid it's more auspicious and less.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, no, it's too late to leave...... on the side, a guard boldly said.
"Sister Huang...... The imperial sister ......" A thin voice came from not far away.
Princess Wan was slightly stunned, turned around, and looked at where the voice came from.
Xiao You and Xiao Ai ran hand in hand: "Sister Huang...... There was a fire...... Xiaoyou and I were desperately watering in the room...... But...... The fire is so big......"
Princess Wan softened her expression: "It's okay, come here!" ”
The fire reflected half of the sky, and the wind fueled the fire, and I was suddenly shocked: "Be careful! ”
Behind Xiao You Xiao Ai, the ancient palace was rapidly collapsing at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Run!" Princess Wan suddenly screamed, her eyes full of horror.
In just an instant, the eyes were full of red, and the crazy flames quickly burst away, and the two figures holding hands and running turned into two fireballs.
"Sister Huang...... Sister Huang...... Save ......"
"It hurts......"
The mournful cries were drowned out in the flames.
Princess Wan stared at the two little figures who were drowned in the sea of fire with a blank face, as if she had lost her heart.
"Xiaoyou...... Little Ai ......"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's too late to leave...... Xiaomei grabbed the princess and said hurriedly.
"Xiao You, Xiao Ai......" Princess Wan muttered, staring at the sea of fire that was still growing wildly.
"Oops!" On the side, the guards were shocked.
Xiaomei stared at a certain place in horror and slumped.
I followed Xiaomei's line of sight, it was the entrance of the Zhaode Palace, and looking at their expressions, the secret passage that could safely leave the sea of fire was in this Zhaode Palace, but there was also a sea of fire...... In other words, no one can get out......
No one can get out?
"Laugh!" Suddenly, a wild roar entered my ears.
I turned abruptly and looked at the entrance to the court.
Beyond the raging sea of fire, there was a familiar figure, who rode his horse and jumped out of thin air over the crazy sea of fire.
"Smile...... Where are you? Say to me! ”
It's Zhong Ying.
He raised his hand to block the heat and flames, and jumped into the flames with one man and one horse.
"Smile...... ...... to me."
The breath of fire was everywhere, and among the thick smoke, Dong Zhuo stabilized his restless mount and looked around.
"Zhong Ying! Zhong Ying! I'm here ......" I jumped up, waving my hands.
"Stand there and don't move!" Spotting me, Dong Zhuo whipped fiercely, and the horse stepped on the fire, neighed, and rushed towards me quickly.
A beam slammed down, and I froze in place, as if my heart had been hung to my throat.
As soon as my body was light, someone stopped me by the waist and picked me up, I was surprised, and turned back to a pair of bright eyes.
Lu Bu?
When I raised my hand, I was already being carried and sat on horseback.
The red rabbit horse stared at the sea of fire, coming and going, and there was no anxiety, and it was indeed worthy of the prestige of the red rabbit among the horses.
"Father-in-law, I found a smile! Let's get out. Revealing the little tiger teeth in his mouth, Lu Bu shouted.
"Your Highness the Princess!" In the sea of fire, someone shouted.
I turned around and saw Guo Yan rushing into the fire together, with a worried look on his unpleasant face.
Princess Wan stayed in place in a daze, looking at the place where Xiaoyou Xiaoai disappeared, and there was no expression at all, it was indifferent despair and mourning.
"Wan'er! Wan'er! ”
Is this a sea of fire, or is it a bazaar? Why are so many people rushing in without fear of death?
Princess Wan, who was unconscious, suddenly came back to her senses, and looked up at the source of the voice in a daze.
A line of white horses and silver spears, Zhao Zilong rode his horse in the dust.
Sure enough, when he was in danger, he was still worried.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Guo Yan shouted, and the horse he sat down had begun to neigh uneasily, "Get on the horse, this place is about to collapse!" ”
Zhao Zilong's figure is getting clearer and clearer, more and more clear, his handsome face is engrossed, and no one can see it in his eyes except for his Wan'er.
He only came to save his Wan'er.
I turned my head to look at Princess Wan.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Guo Yan stretched out his hand, "Get on the horse!" ”
Princess Wan glanced back at Zhao Zilong, her slender hands held Guo Yan's hand, and in the blink of an eye, she was taken on the horse by Guo Yan.
At that moment, I saw the pain in Zhao Zilong's eyes.
At that moment, I saw the sadness in Princess Wan's eyes.
They love each other, but why can't they stay together? Obviously so longing, but why let go again and again?
My eyes see the sorrow of others so clearly......
"Smile and smile......" Dong Zhuo came on horseback and was relieved to see that I was fine.
As the smoke billowed out, I was so smoked that I burst into tears.
As soon as he ripped off his cloak, Dong Zhuoyang wrapped me tightly from head to toe: "Fengxian, your horse is fast, take her out first." ”
"Okay." Lu Bu responded, and the red rabbit horse galloped like the wind in the sea of fire.
Wrapped in Dong Zhuo's cloak, the smoke and heat were cut off, and I looked back at Dong Zhuo, his mount was clearly running out.
"Zhong Ying ......"
"Don't be afraid, you go first, I'll come out right away!" Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger from his side, and raised his hand to stab the horse's belly.
Blood splattered, and the horse neighed in pain and ran like mad.
Several people galloped on horseback and narrowly escaped from the flames. Those palace people who didn't have time to escape from the sea of fire all let out a desperate cry.
The front foot went out of the sea of fire, and when I looked back, the once glorious palace had become a ruin, and so many palace people who had not had time to escape from the fire turned into smoke and dust......
It's a real shot.
"Are there any injuries? Are you uncomfortable? Lu Bu picked me off the horse, held my shoulder, and asked nervously.
I shook my head, shocked, but unharmed.
Dong Zhuo rolled over from the horse and jumped to the ground, and the horse fell down with a snort and convulsions, and his mouth was covered with blood, and after a while, he stopped moving.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......" is Xiaomei's cry.
In such an emergency just now, did Xiaomei escape too?
When he looked back, he saw Zhao Zilong jumping off the horse, and sitting on his horseback was Princess Wan's henchman Xiaomei.
"Your Royal Highness Princess......" Xiaomei cried and dismounted, kneeling on the ground, obviously frightened.
Zhao Zilong always looked at Princess Wan expressionlessly.
Princess Wan helped Guo Yan's men to get off the horse: "Thank you Gongzi for saving Xiaomei." Walking forward, looking at Zhao Zilong, there was obviously a thousand feelings in his eyes, and finally ...... But that's all there is to it.
The wrinkles between Zhao Zilong's eyebrows deepened, but he never said a word, and instead jumped on the horse.
"Take care of yourself." said in a low voice, and without looking at Princess Wan again, Zhao Zilong spurred the horse away.
I saw that Princess Wan's eyes were shining, looking at the back, her lips moved slightly, I don't know what to say, I finally turned around, and didn't look at him again.
In the meantime, I'm very curious about Guo Yan, that guy seems to be very interested in Princess Wan. He...... Could it be the bargaining chip that Princess Wan pressed down?
"Where's Wang Situ?" Suddenly, Princess Wan looked at Xiaomei as if she suddenly remembered, and her expression was a little flustered.
Xiaomei was stunned: "Lord Situ said......" Xiaomei said, looking at me cautiously.
"What did he say?" Princess Wan frowned.
But I suddenly remembered Wang Yun's words, and I "chuckled" in my heart, he ...... Aren't you going back to the hallway to pick me up?
Master Situ said...... Go pick up the girl ......"
I know who the sable cicada is in her mouth......
Dong Zhuo had already strode forward and looked at me carefully from head to toe, lest he find a little scar.
I stared at the ruins in a daze, and my heart began to panic.
That fire burned for a day and a night.
"My lord, what now?" Guo Yan stepped forward and said.
"Let's go home first."
Protected by Dong Zhuo in his arms, I looked back at the still burning ruins behind me and bit my lip gently. The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier......
"My lord, now that there is a coalition army outside, and Luoyang has become a ruin, it is better to move the capital to Chang'an, this is the will of heaven."
When I woke up, it was already dark, and everyone was in the lobby to discuss where to stay.
I lay on my bed, knowing that I had returned to the Taishi's Mansion. This mansion, which had already been raided, was restored to its original state at this time, but there was no maid attendant left.
But at this time, no one had the heart to think about their life or death.
"Don't move here, wait for me to pick you up." Wang Yun's gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
I clenched my fists slightly and got out of bed.
I probably just slept a little, my body was not so heavy, and I went out of the Taishi Mansion from the side door, and I didn't bother anyone.
As soon as I left the house, I saw the red rabbit horse playing boredly in front of the house. With a bit of flattery, I stepped forward and stroked it. Glancing at me, the red rabbit horse didn't buy it. After looking at it for a while, I took out a fruit from my sleeve and took a hard bite. Sure enough, it immediately looked at me, very energetic.
I grinned and remembered Xiao Mao.
Hanging the bite fruit from the whip, I climbed on the horse's back and dangled it in front of it......
Thereupon...... It began to move towards its goal......
Sitting on the back of a horse, I shook my head disdainfully, and my spirit encouraged me not to, I had to have a little material temptation, these days, even a horse is so corrupt.
Seeing the ruins getting closer and closer, my heart tightened slightly.
The fire has been extinguished, but the residual warmth is still there. Under the cold moonlight, the empty and barren ruins are terrifying.
I dismounted, and stood in front of the ruins, suddenly confused.
What am I here for? Wang Yun ...... It should have been out of danger a long time ago, how could such a cunning guy die here so easily? He...... Wouldn't be stupid enough to be ...... because of a sentence Let's go back.
"Jingle ......"
My eyes widened in disbelief and I saw a dark shadow above the ruins. The figure hunched over, unsure of what it was looking for. Suddenly he turned around, and he seemed to see me.
Stunned, I watched the figure get closer and closer.
"Jingle Bell...... "Dingdong ...... "His steps were a little unsteady.
The figure was getting closer...... I could see his face clearly, disgraced and embarrassed.
He walked up to me and stood still.
"I thought...... You didn't come out. He looked at me, his face was gray, his white robe was long gone, and he held a silver arrow in his hand.
When I took it out of my bosom in amazement, there were only two silver arrows left.
I don't know when the string broke, and the arrow probably fell from me.
"When I found this arrow, I thought it was ......," he said lightly, but his voice was a little tense.
"People? Ghost? "To be able to get out of that kind of fire...... I spoke a little dumbfounded.
"It's human, it's fate, I don't deserve to die here." He curled his lips, but his gray face was a little amused at this time.
"Oh? So where are you going to die? "I'm curious.
"You'll know when I'm dead."
