Chapter 149 Natural disasters are ruthless, don't hold back
Liang Ci said a prophecy, and they walked forward while clearing the barricades, and finally saw the living person after most of the day.
Shen Lansui sat in the carriage and looked out, the people who came were disgraced, at first glance they didn't look like people from the government, they looked more like bandits, they didn't get close before Liang Ci clenched the knife on his waist.
However, when they approached, Liang Ci recognized the clothes on their bodies, so he let go of his hand and asked, "Are you from Wanguan City?" ”
The six people were very excited when they saw them, and they choked up before speaking, "My lord, you are here!" ”
The Seventh Prince stepped forward and said, "Who are you?" What happened to Wanguan City? ”
"The humble duty is the garrison of Wanguan City, when the earth dragon turned over, the humble duty was outside the city, so it escaped a catastrophe, we went to the city gate for the first time, although the city tower did not collapse, but it was also crumbling, we did not dare to act rashly, only sent a few people to drill in from the gap in the city gate to see, those people came out and said......"
The soldier sniffed, choked again, and a person next to him wiped his face and said: "The city is basically collapsed, there is a lot of wailing, men crying women crying, children crying, and old people crying, but there is no way, we have limited manpower, and there are not many people who can go in to help, so we can only dig out little by little, and the officials of the prefect or something have been arrested, and the temporary adult was unfortunately crushed to death, and now the city is in chaos, and there is no one who has an idea." ”
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned and asked, "What about the generals of your garrison?" ”
The soldier's face, which was mixed with dust and blood and tears, showed a hint of embarrassment, "Also...... Also taken away. ”
The Seventh Prince: "......"
Liang Ci said: "Now that His Highness is down, everything is under His Highness's orders." ”
The soldier thought that the Seventh Prince was a messenger sent by the imperial court, but he didn't expect it to be the prince, so he immediately knelt down in panic, "I don't know Mount Tai with my humble eyes, please forgive Your Highness!" ”
The five in the back also knelt on the ground in unison.
Shen Lansui looked at the carriage and felt quite uncomfortable, and said softly: "It seems that the errand that Hou Ye said is to come to Wanguan City to arrest people." ”
Shen Lansui nodded, lowered the curtain, and looked solemn, "The officials of Wanguan City have all been arrested, and those who can be in charge have been crushed to death, the city doesn't know what the chaos is like, so you have to enter the city as soon as possible." ”
Liuyan sighed: "Natural disasters are more ruthless than man-made disasters. ”
The Seventh Prince asked the soldiers some more information, and had a rough idea in their hearts, and quickly ordered them to dig the way into the city, and they rushed over as soon as possible.
All the soldiers brought by Liang Ci moved, but fortunately, shovels and shovels were prepared before they came, just in case, which really came in handy at this time.
The crowd dug until dark, and then they were able to clear a narrow road.
The carriage swayed when it passed, which made people worry, but fortunately it passed smoothly in the end.
They went out of the valley and went straight to Wanguan City, the road here was a little easier and much cleaner, it should have been cleared by the garrison.
Sure enough, after walking for half an hour, Shen Lansui heard the noisy voices of people outside in a half-dream, she pushed open the window of the carriage and looked out, and saw a long dragon lit up on the mountain road not far away, and the sparkling firelight meandered in.
Liuyan came in from outside, and when he saw that she was awake, he poured her a glass of water, "Madam, the garrison of Wanguan City is here." ”
Shen Lansui's heart was slightly relieved, "Does this mean that we are not far from Wanguan City?" ”
Liuyan shook his head, "The slave maid just went to inquire, there is still some distance from Wanguan City, if it is unimpeded, we can get there before dawn." ”
"The reason why Wanguan City is called Wanguan City is because of its complex terrain and steep mountains, forming a natural barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Shen Lansui suddenly realized, "No wonder the disaster is so serious. ”
Sure enough, as Liuyan said, after they joined the garrison of Wanguan City, they dug the remaining little road together, and finally arrived at Wanguan City before dawn.
Shen Lansui didn't sleep much this night, she woke up after squinting for a while, and closed her eyes and squinted for a while after waking up for a while, but she had something in her heart, how could she sleep soundly?
I don't know who shouted outside: "Wanguan City has arrived!" ”
Shen Lansui immediately opened his eyes and sat up.
She grabbed the cloak on one side and put it on her body, feeling that the carriage had stopped, she quickly opened the door and took a look, it was Meng Cheng who was driving at this time, and he was startled when he saw Shen Lansui coming out, "Madam, why are you up?" The carriage hasn't stopped yet! ”
"It doesn't matter." Shen Lansui clutched the door frame tightly, and looked into the distance, the tall city wall of Wanguan City appeared in front of him, and several terrible cracks appeared on the previously indestructible city wall, and even the city gate was faintly deformed, as if it would fall down at any time.
The Seventh Prince and Liang Ci rode in front, and Liang Ci said: "Your Highness, this city wall can't be wanted, it can't be repaired well, and it must be rebuilt." ”
"Since it's going to be rebuilt, let's tear it down now." The Seventh Prince pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, the door is only open with a crack, how can the soldiers enter?" It is also inconvenient to transport wood and masonry later. ”
Liang bowed his head and beckoned: "Someone is coming-"
He first sent people into the city to see if there was anyone near the city gate, and after confirming that there were none, he estimated the safe distance before everyone began to demolish the city wall.
In the end, manpower is a little slower, and the Seven Princes are in charge, so they simply blow up with gunpowder.
The sound of explosions made people even more frightened, and the sound of people crying could be heard from time to time in the city.
Shen Lansui looked at the smoke and dust, and his heart was desolate.
She is still like this as an outsider, let alone those who were born and raised in Wanguancheng?
The muffled sobs of the soldiers sounded in her ears, and her heart grew heavier.
The soldier was standing by their carriage, Shen Lansui took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "Wipe your tears, cheer up when you cry enough, the people inside are still waiting for us." ”
The soldier looked at the snow-white handkerchief that suddenly appeared in front of him, and took it in a daze, but when he looked up, he only saw the corner of Shen Lansui's clothes.
He clenched his handkerchief tightly and finally burst into tears.
Shen Lansui returned to the carriage and waited for a while, and after it was quiet outside, the Seventh Prince immediately asked people to clean up the ruins, and everyone dismounted and walked on foot.
The carriage rushed to the gate of the city, Shen Lansui got out of the carriage tightly wrapped, and the Seventh Prince glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Lu, are you okay?" ”
Shen Lansui nodded, "I'm fine, thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”
"It's okay, I've already sent someone to search along the route of their Jinyi Guard out of the city, and I will notify you as soon as there is news."
After the seventh prince finished speaking, he didn't mean to invite credit, so he turned around and continued to be busy.
Shen Lansui's heart was slightly hot, and he owed a debt to his back.
The two imperial doctors sent by the Tai Hospital also got out of the carriage, and one of them walked past her and snorted, with undisguised contempt in his eyes, "A woman, who is not self-sufficient, what can she do here?" Don't hold us back for a while! ”
