Chapter 186: Prelude to Civil Strife

The moon and stars are scarce, and the sound of cicadas and the wails of refugees looming in the wind in the distance weave into a strange and harmonious music.

Yu Tianyou climbed the gravel on the hillside with one hand, and the speed of his feet continued to increase, and only then did he fall to the ground before he could completely control his body.

"Ahem, ahem!"

As soon as he came down the mountain, Yu Tianyou lay directly in the thick grass.

He gasped for air, a rusty smell of blood filling his chest, which made him ignore the rancid smell that was now spreading in the air.

The abrasions on his palms and the bruises and bleeding on his body kept him from fainting for the time being.

Turning over, he lay on his back and looked at the sky with a full moon again, and Yu Tianyou felt a sense of confusion in his heart.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, the dried blood on the young man's face was washed away by the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Where will he go in the future?

The bloodstained kitchen knife pinned to his waist that had already dried up seemed to remind him of what he had done last night.

He killed someone.

A family of four.

When his grandfather was hungry and sick, these people ate the food they had reported and could sleep with a satisfied smile on their lips.

And his grandfather looked at him sadly and sadly when he was dying, and his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up again when he finally returned to light.

He held his hand tightly and repeated the sentence in his mouth: "Grandpa is not hungry, God bless, eat more." โ€

The voice in his mouth gradually dissipated with the light under his eyes.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianyou couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and his mouth opened and whimpered like a homeless injured wolf cub.

He hadn't had time to bury his grandfather's body yet.

The grievances, fears, and guilt in his chest made the young man realize for the first time what it means to soak his whole heart in bitter water.

After that, he won't have a home.

Lying like this for a long time, Yu Tianyou suddenly raised his hand and wiped his damp face again, and blew his snot to regain his strength.

But as soon as the boy took two steps, he fell under the obstacle under his feet.

"Ahh

The moment he fell, Yu Tianyou lay on the ground, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the blue and white face of a dead man, yes, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.

Yu Tianyou immediately crawled away from the corpse, but before he could take a few steps back, the strange cold touch under his hand made him subconsciously look down.

Half of the bruised face was exposed in the soil, and his hand was still on the other party's blind pupil IQ, Yu Tianyou was once again frightened and howled!

"Ahhh

This time, Yu Tianyou jumped up directly, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened.

At this moment, the sound of crickets around him was extremely harsh after he screamed.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and Yu Tianyou had a pale face, trembling and looking at the familiar environment around him.

He was convinced that this was the foot of the mountain in Fucheng.

He didn't go somewhere.

It's just that by the light moonlight when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, Yu Tianyou's legs were completely soft.

Why?

It's suddenly a mass grave?

***

In the city of Yunzhou Mansion, Wangfu.

"That said...... Are there any trails that can be detoured down the mountain? Plum Berry tentatively threw a sentence first.

The little eyes of "I know, don't lie to me" on Mei Berry are like the kind of eyes of a cat picking up the door frame and wanting to make trouble and cautiously testing the owner.

"Yes, but most of the trails are dangerous, and generally no one chooses them at random. Moreover, they are all leading to Kannai. โ€

When Wang Beigu said the first half of the sentence, he saw Mei You's eyes light up, as if he had thought of something, so he said the second half of the sentence as well.

Sure enough, whoever listened to the second half of the sentence felt bad.

"There is no direct passage through the customs?"

Mei You asked unrelentingly.

Wang Beigu frowned, maybe there is, at least they don't know.

Seeing this, Mei Berry also felt that the time was about the same, so he spoke: "My father, didn't you know a catcher before?" Before, they seemed to talk about the fact that there used to be some unfamiliar faces in the palace, and then they were quickly gone.

Those people were haunted, as if they suddenly appeared in the palace and disappeared suddenly. The prefect didn't ask either. However, according to what the catcher said, he could hear it with a little accent from Hanzhou and Xianyao~"

What Plum Berry said was not very detailed, it was as if she had just overheard, and only now remembered it.

As soon as she said this, the eyes of the other two focused on Plum Berry.

Mei Berry coughed twice, and then asked more as if her mind had opened up: "You say...... Will there be any secret passages in the palace? Is it the kind that leads directly to the outside of the gate? โ€

ยท

"In the northeast corner of the palace, there is a direct passage through the outside of the customs."

Wang Beigu listened to what Meiberry said a few nights ago, although he wanted to ask Meiberry a few more words at that time, it was true that Meiberry would treat it as if he didn't know.

said that there were many mistakes, she narrowed the scope to the palace, and it would be rude to ask her again, right?

In the end, Wang Beigu and Mei Berry promised that if there was really news, they would send someone to inform them.

As for how they came over to inform -

At this time, Mei Berry opened the closed window of her room and looked at the guy who was squatting on the wall of her house, dressed in a night suit, and even had two holes in her mask.

At this moment, the plum berries really wanted to say that they might not be ripe to this point.

There are only two black holes left on this face, which is too much to look down on her, right?

She didn't even recognize who was in front of her, but she almost screamed in fright.

Fortunately, as soon as the other party spoke, Mei Berry knew that he was from Jiubaoxuan.

"So, when are we going to run away?"

The direction of the other party's inquiry is the same as that in his own electronic map.

At this time, Mei Berry already wanted to rub the relationship with Jiubaoxuan and ran away.

These words were immediately asked in a hurry.

"At present, there are quite a few soldiers guarding the government office, and they already know the existence of this secret passage."

"Huh?"

Mei Berry's expression immediately wilted like frosted greens, and the other party said, "But the owner asked me to tell you that he will find a way as soon as possible." โ€

"Well, if you ask him to cheer up, we will also try to find a way."

Mei Berry pulled a little face listlessly, and closed the window before asking the family to go back at night to pay attention to safety.

After that, she lay on the bed and stared at the beam of the room all night.

Plum Berry sighed tiredly.

It turns out that running away is not only physical work, right?

When do you have to use your brain when you run?

Thinking of this, Plum Berry buried her head in the soft pillow and wailed twice.

The next morning, without waiting for Mei Berry to get up and call Mei You next door to discuss the next thing, Jiubaoxuan didn't know what door to take, so he actually sent someone to pick them up and go to the house where Wang Beigu lived on the upper floor.

This is not a good sign of panic.

Mei Berry and Mei You's parents are currently ignorant of the current situation, only knowing that the situation outside is very chaotic, and it is not much better than in the city.

Mei Berry and the others had just arrived, and the two followed Wang Beigu to the study.

"Last night, the displaced people outside the city attacked a wave of the city, but they didn't succeed."

"So fast!?"

"Well, but the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is unlikely that the homeless people want to rush in directly."

Wang Beigu's words are just a prelude, and his last sentence is the most critical, "At dawn, there were homeless people who didn't know where to touch the city, but fortunately they were discovered by the guards in time, but unfortunately, they only caught one."

Moreover, the one that was caught seemed to be sick. โ€

"I ......"

Mei Berry almost couldn't hold back the foul mouth, the current lockdown seems to be unsealed, and there are homeless people who come in, not to mention that they are still sick.

"And when are we leaving?!"

Mei You knew that Wang Beigu was looking at them, and suddenly took them over, and knew that things were getting tricky.

If no one can be caught, then if the homeless people are also sick, this city will really be dismantled from the inside out!

"Tonight."

"Huh? So fast......"

Wang Beigu's answer was beyond the expectations of the two.

Last night, Plum Berry clearly remembered that the person he had brought in to deliver the message and said he didn't know, but now he acted tonight.

After getting the news, without waiting for Mei Berry and them to ask about the specific situation, he only stared at the pupils of the two of them and said word by word:

"When the time comes, you can follow our people and just rush towards the secret passage, and don't look back."

Meiberry: Big brother, why do I get more scared the more I listen to your last sentence?

System: [Don't be afraid, I'm here.] ใ€‘

Plum Berry: I'm even more scared when you show up. Nothing good happens.

System: [......]
