Chapter 04: The Tale of the Dead Country

Li Tian saw that the emperor of the dead country was no longer snorting, and he couldn't really let this family be slaughtered, so he nodded and said, "If you want to live, come with you, it's best to forget your former identity, now you are refugees whose whole family fled for their lives." ”

Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan Guifei glanced at each other happily, and took Princess Zhaoren to salute, "Thank you for the two heroes who are willing to come to the rescue, and we will definitely remember the great kindness of the two." ”

Feng Xiaowu walked over and picked up Princess Zhaoren on his back, and said to Li Tian, "Let's go quickly, while the rebels haven't surrounded the palace yet." ”

Chongzhen looked back at the palace deeply, and sighed silently with tears in his eyes, "I have lost my inheritance, how can I go to see my ancestors and ancestors after I die." ”

He saw that Queen Zhou, who had committed suicide but did not die, was still very weak, so he walked over to help her up and said, "Queen, hurry up, I want to be the real head of the family." ”

Empress Zhou nodded gratefully and said, "As long as our family lives in peace, what's the good of sitting on the frightening throne." ”

Chongzhen frowned and said angrily, "That's the inheritance of the ancestors, what do women and Taoists know." ”

He suddenly remembered something, sighed and said no more.

Feng Xiaowu liked Princess Zhaoren on her back very much, and she was quietly teasing with her concentration, as if she was still used to looking at this mortal war from the perspective of a cultivator, and felt that nothing would affect her in her heart.

She also felt that maybe this mortal country was forbidden by something, as long as she left a certain distance, she would absorb the aura, so she was not so nervous about the current situation, but began to think about whether to help Princess Zhaoren's family return to the country.

Li Tian frowned and looked at the brocade clothes of Empress Zhou and the others, which made them inconvenient to move, and they looked too conspicuous at night. In fact, I was very dissatisfied with the need to escape with these drags.

He looked around in the distance and led the group towards the streets of the capital. The walls of the imperial city in this section were also not guarded, so no one noticed anyone leaving the palace.

A group of people walked on the silent streets. I saw that on both sides were the courtyards of high gates, and the beautiful white jade lions guarded the mahogany gates, but the whole street was as empty and deserted as a wilderness.

Chongzhen and Empress Zhou supported each other, and Yuan Guifei followed behind with the help of two palace maids, and the group followed Li Tian and the others with blank expressions, not daring to stop and walk towards the unknown fate ahead.

Li Tian saw the mansions on both sides of the road with red lanterns hanging high, and suddenly smiled and whispered to Chongzhen, "These people's houses are much more beautiful than the imperial palace, how are you the emperor." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he looked at both sides of the road, only to see that the mahogany gates of those high-ranking officials and businessmen were closed. The material is better than the gate of the palace, and it is painted with red paint on the big characters of Long Live Long Live Emperor Dashun.

The sound of conversation sounded from time to time behind the gate, and there should be a lot of people hiding inside, listening carefully to their conversations, only to find that these people were anxiously waiting to welcome King Chuang.

He shook his head in pain and sighed, "I'm ashamed of my ancestors, hmm. ”

Li Tian suddenly reached out to cover Chongzhen's mouth, and then dragged him to the side alley.

Empress Zhou followed behind and asked in surprise, "What are you doing, let go of the emperor!"

Chongzhen was also taken aback by Li Tian's actions. "Is it obvious that you want to take the (house) family to curry favor with the (mud) thief?"

Li Tian said in a low voice, "Shut up, if you want to live, you have to keep silent, never mention the identity of the previous emperor again, and it is best to forget what you used to do." ”

Chongzhen nodded in understanding. After being let go, he looked at the gates of the mansions built around the imperial city, only to feel that those red lacquer characters became more and more dazzling, and his eyes unconsciously shed a line of tears.

He stopped talking. But the heart said, "The Ming Dynasty is bad in the hands of these mediocre ministers, if I have loyal courtiers and fierce generals." Why did the world collapse here, but unfortunately there was none. ”

Chongzhen's vision with hazy eyes gradually moistened and deformed. Those red lanterns seemed to turn into a curtain of light, and in a trance, a figure of a general wearing armor seemed to appear, and the general who couldn't see clearly walked over and knelt down to salute himself.

He tried hard to see the appearance of the general in front of him, but he was always hazy and couldn't see the real thing, so he asked in his heart, "Who are you, are you the heroic spirit of my general?"

The general, whose face could not be seen clearly, slowly stood up and said to Chongzhen in a desolate voice, "Your Majesty, the minister did not collude with Houjin, but the country was weak, so he had to be with the emperor Taiji. ”

"At that time, the Jiannu army was already extremely strong, if they were not blocked by the strong wall of the capital and the soldiers were frustrated, even if the ministers brought twice as many soldiers and horses, they would not be able to win. ”

Chongzhen's eyes suddenly widened in horror, his finger pointed at the air in front of him, and he couldn't speak, because the general's voice reminded him of a person.

Empress Zhou noticed that something was wrong with Chongzhen, and called nervously, "Emperor, by the inspection, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." ”

Yuan Guifei and the two palace maids also hugged Chongzhen nervously and cried in fear.

Li Tian looked up to the sky and sighed, how many things did he have to do to escape with this family.

Feng Xiaowu saw that Princess Zhaoren on her back was in danger of crying, so she hurriedly put her on her chest and whispered and coaxed her.

Chongzhen was constantly patted on the chest by Queen Zhou, and finally calmed down, and after a closer look, there was no phantom, and the fear in his heart was slightly reduced.

He saw the concerned expressions of Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan, and said with a wry smile, "I don't have anything to do, you don't have to worry." ”

Li Tian suddenly shouted, "Shut up, someone is out!"

Chongzhen and the others closed their mouths nervously and did not speak, only then did they hear the cheers of the Great Shun Emperor in the whole city, and then the doors of the mansions outside the alley opened at the same time, and many people came out with tables, incense and candles.

These people set up incense tables at the gates of their respective homes, and then knelt behind the incense tables, and looked carefully at their foreheads and hats with the word Shunmin on them, and each of them looked respectfully into the distant street.

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "These rebels and thieves actually want to meet Li Chuang, I want to kill them!"

Empress Zhou hurriedly stopped, "No, there is no Ming in the hearts of the subjects of Jingshi, let's quickly find a way to escape from the city." ”

Yuan Guifei didn't have any ideas, and she was afraid that Chongzhen would rush out of the city to fight with the rebels, but she just grabbed his clothes tightly and didn't let go, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Li Tian said impatiently to Chongzhen, "If you really want to die, please do it, but this big family can't escape, if you still want them to live, shut up and follow me, now find a place to hide." ”

He looked around and said, "It's impossible to get out of the city now, we just go through the alleys to find families to hide." ”

Chongzhen was dissatisfied with Li Tian's tone, but he really wanted to rush out of the palace but didn't dare, so he had to stare hatefully at the people waiting to meet the king on the street outside, and then took Queen Zhou and Yuan Guifei to follow.

Li Tian and his group walked carefully in the alley, not looking at the mansions with tall courtyard walls, but looking for low climbing on the courtyard walls, and after looking at several houses in a row, they fell back to the ground and stopped.

He said to Feng Xiaowu, "This family is not big, and there is no way to set up incense, it seems that it is not a person who has thrown himself to the side of the rebels, so you can consider hiding inside." ”

Feng Xiaowu said suspiciously, "But the rebels will inevitably establish a new dynasty when they occupy the national capital, and this family will definitely become the people of the new dynasty, how can they guarantee that they will not reveal the identity of the emperor of the previous dynasty?"

Li Tian sneered, "We're just hiding temporarily, just control all the people before this, it's a big deal to kill them." ”

Feng Xiaowu exclaimed, "Senior disciple can't be so cruel, killing indiscriminately is against the way of heaven, it's a big deal that we took the former emperor's family to surrender to the leaders of the uprising, presumably they don't dare to attack the cultivators." ”

When Chongzhen heard Feng Xiaowu's words, he said angrily, "Even if I die, I will never surrender to the traitor!"

Empress Zhou hurriedly persuaded, "This place is not far from the Guozhang Mansion, so let's just go to my father." ”

Chongzhen smiled bitterly, "How can a traitor not search the palace of the emperor, if we go, we will only harm the people of the country's mansion, how can there be anyone in this capital who is still a little loyal to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yuan Guifei and the two palace maids all cried in a low voice, they really didn't know where to go.

Li Tian sneered and said to Chongzhen, "Be louder, otherwise others won't be able to hear!"

Chongzhen suddenly closed his voice, but was silent with unhappiness.

Li Tian immediately used the Dugu Nine Sword Light Skill to run up the wall, and then gently floated down to the small courtyard, seeing that there was no one around and worried that there was an emergency outside, he found a ladder next to him and stretched out to the courtyard wall.

Putting down the ladder to let Chongzhen's family enter the courtyard, as soon as the ladder was taken back outside, the fire lit up, and many people ran through the alley, and they were still passing the news to each other. (To be continued......)
