Dongsandao is close to Guangyang Gate, which is considered the southwest corner, and the neighbors think that this is a very fortunate thing, the later they leave, the closer King Qin's coalition army will be, and the more panicked Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army will be, as long as they wait another day......

Just wait another day! Maybe tomorrow, King Qin's army will arrive!

At that time, they will not have to leave their homes, they will not have to turn their backs on the tombs of their ancestors, they will not have to take their wives and children with them, and they will be driven in a hurry and on the way into a miserable storm.

There are more and more people who think like this, and there are more and more people who resist migration, even to the point that the Xiliang army seems to have nothing to do with them.

Every house, every household, is praying so devoutly, praying to the ancestral throne, praying to the portrait of the prince of the east and the queen mother of the west, praying to the east, which is both the place where the sun rises and the direction of the Bishui Pass, praying that the sun will rise later, or that the coalition forces will break through the Bishui Pass sooner, as long as that news comes, the Dong Zhuo army remaining in Luoyang will definitely flee and disappear.

That's what they all think, and even salted fish is not exempt from vulgarity.

[What we saw that day was indeed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's family, right? ] 】

[Yes, it was his uncle's family, in this society, his uncle is a very important elder, especially Yuan Kui is ranked as the third prince, and his status is more precious. 】

[Then they should be very sad and angry, right?] She said uncertainly, [No matter what the other coalition forces think, at least the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers should attack Dong Zhuo's army like a storm and take revenge? 】

[This kind of speculation requires closer observation to draw a more accurate inference] Black Blade said lightly, [You have such an opportunity, but you gave up. 】

【…………………… I can't just run to work for Yuan Shao just to see him die, and my uncle can't cry or not? 】

[So now you are trapped in Luoyang City, have you packed your luggage?] 】

"Wait a minute," she thought, "I still have a revenge to be avenged." 】

【…… Enmity? You mean...... You wait! 】

She had wanted to dig a rat hole for a long time, and ever since she moved into this house, the rats have been determined to eat her pig's head, her pig's intestine, her rice and her melons.

But I don't know when the rats seem to have disappeared.

Not only her own family, but also the neighbors around her seem to have mentioned the incident.

…… Is it because of the winter?

Now she finally had the leisure to fight the rats.

The black blade is an unborn divine weapon, and there is no obstacle to digging the rat hole except for the unpleasant hand, so it took her a little time to dig the rat hole.

The nest of rats she gritted her teeth hated was inside, and it had been dead for a long time.

[What is the reason for this?] My family isn't poor enough to starve rats, is it? Confused, she picked up a mummy and shook it.

Before Blackblade could answer her, a mournful cry rang out outside!

"Run——! Xiliang people burned the house!! ”

Chapter 24

When the people of Xiliang first announced that they were going to move the city of Luoyang to Chang'an, Mei Niang began to silently pack her bags.

No matter how inconspicuous things are at home, they are difficult to find on the road, so she wants to take away even a brick and tile, grass and a tree.

But she still restrained her desires, picked and chosen, and replaced the two remaining chickens in the family with herbs and packed them in her bag.

"Mother, why don't you stay on the road and eat?" Ah Qian was very puzzled, "Wouldn't you need the strength to hurry after leaving the city?" ”

"After leaving the city, we naturally need to have the strength to hurry, but our orphans and widows rely on the neighborhood to take care of them on weekdays, if we bring two live chickens, wouldn't it cause trouble for everyone?"

"What's the trouble with two chickens, the child can walk with the chicken coop on his back."

With a little lamp oil, Mei Niang, who was sewing for a while, stopped the needlework in her hand and shook her head again.

"You can walk with it on your back, and if someone else comes to grab it, can you still protect it?"

"Let's go together, can anyone still come and grab it?"

Who can say for sure? If you don't have one day, it's hard to say that you will have ten days and eight days, and when you go for a month, everyone is tired and hungry, and you bring two fat chickens, aren't you provoking people?

Lu Langjun next door is certainly a chivalrous and good person, but he is only alone. Not long ago, the Yang family died tragically, if something happened on the road, Lu Langjun must take care of the Yang family. Besides, he had already saved himself once, so how could he count on others to help him again and again?

"You have to think about it," Mei Niang's heart was full of sorrow, and she didn't explain it to her son, but only reminded her gently, "We only have a small cart to load food, clothing, firewood and grass, and you can only choose a few books to take away, and the rest can't be done." ”

"What?!" Ah Qian was taken aback.

Those bamboo slips are very heavy, and they are not so easy to use for fire, so naturally they cannot be carried. But before Ah Qian could protest, the fire and shouting at the entrance of the alley came over.

The Xiliang people have piled up a large amount of firewood and grass in the city, and now they are finally ready to burn the capital of the Han Dynasty!

But that kind of fire was something that Ah Qian had never seen before, so in addition to fear, there was more of a strange excitement in his heart.

Ignoring his mother's obstruction behind him, the boy ran out of the house like a gust of wind! He wanted to get closer to see what the fire that lit up the entire capital looked like!

Since Gaozu beheaded the White Snake and established a 400-year-old dynasty, has there ever been such a fire in Luoyang?

In the thick smoke, there were people crying everywhere, people running away everywhere, some of them were wearing silk and satin, some were unclothed, but they were all the same tears, the same panic, and in the firelight, the "human" side seemed to be temporarily stripped away.

They looked neither decent nor graceful, and after running and stumbling, stumbling, and bleeding from their heads, they had to continue to flee from one house after another, engulfed in flames.

Looking from afar, the figures mingled with the many small things scurrying around their feet.

"What's that?" Ah Qian looked a little dazed, and asked to himself.

The courtyard door next door happened to open, and Lu Langjun came out and took a look.

"That's a rat."

Some were fat, some were thin, but they all had long beards and sinister tails, all trying to escape from the fire.

Those rats that fled from north to south, frantically fleeing in the light of fire and smoke, actually came from the north of the city?!

"It turns out that there are rats in the place where the nobles live?!" Ah Qian exclaimed.

"Well," he replied softly, "it turns out that the nobles are like rats, too. ”

…… What are these words? What are the similarities between nobles and rats? Ah Qian glanced up in confusion.

He was dressed in a cold way, and it was no different today, he was still dressed in caftan brown, but he had an extra longbow and a quiver on his back. There was a sack on his left shoulder, which was heavy and I didn't know what it contained, and a broken straw hat on his head.

This appearance was actually a bit ridiculous, but his gaze at the firelight made Ah Qian unable to laugh.

The fire lit up street after street, and it was heading towards the third road to the east.

Those nobles who were supposed to leave with the imperial court, why did they stay until now? Could it be that he had illusions and secretly gave money to the people of Xiliang to bribe them to let himself go temporarily?

It's a pity that such a small calculation also fell through.

The palace is divided into the south palace and the north palace, which is vast and magnificent, and the passage between the north and south palaces rises in the sky like a rainbow bridge.

Thousands of households, golden and green.

I wonder how long it took to build such a palace in the first place?

I don't know how long it will take for the fire to completely wipe out the capital?

There was a chaotic sound around, everyone was racing against time, hurrying to pack their luggage and move things, only she stood at the intersection with Ah Qian, and was stunned for a short time.

There are more and more people around, without exception, with big bags and small bags, and they look panicked.

The difference is that some people can only rely on their own two legs, and some can also launch a small cart at home.

The Yang family is the most important family on this street, and the family has two mules and a horse, and a small carriage for the wife and a pair of children, which saves a lot of suffering.

There were more and more rats around, and these very slippery things scurried from places with smoke and fire to places that could ensure temporary safety, and some of them even followed the footsteps of the people and rushed out in the direction of the city gate.

But the rat's footsteps are righteous, but the people can't.

An ordinary house in Luoyang is the hard work of many people for a lifetime, or even several generations.

Many people go on the road crying, no matter what kind of people they usually look like in the eyes of the neighbors, cheerful or silent, like to take advantage of small advantages, or very bold and generous.

There are also those who are reluctant to go on the road, such as some gray-haired old people, who change into their best clothes and stay in the ancestral house where the fire is getting brighter and quieter.

Mei Niang finally came out, and the figure that usually looks like a thin willow helping the wind, although it was a little difficult at this time, she also pushed a small cart very steadily. When Lu Hangyu saw it, he immediately stepped forward and helped her.

Unlike in the past, Mei Niang didn't laugh with her this time, but just saluted her, and then beckoned, "Ah Qian, come here." ”

I don't know if I live or die, I don't know what year or month, and I don't even know which generation of my children and grandchildren will come back?

Lu Hangyu looked around and found that it was not just Meiniang's family.

Many people will kowtow to say a final goodbye to their homeland before leaving.

…… It seemed that she should say goodbye to her homeland as well.

It's not just the house she bought for 30,000.

This is her home.

[How pitiful, this is the fate of wanting to be a civilian. Blackblade's cold voice rang out again, "You can't even save your home. 】

She put her bags on the cart without saying a word, followed the crowd, and walked with the cart.

[I know what you're thinking, it's undeniable that those princess families can't avoid such a fate, Dong Zhuo, who gave up Luoyang, may also feel like this mouse, fleeing in a panic, but you are different. 】

As if sensing her silence as a sign of weakness, Blackblade's voice became louder, even a little harsh.

You can live a little more wanton and more comfortable, you are different from them. 】

The entire capital was burning, and many of the burned beams began to make overwhelmed sounds, one by one.

But that kind of sound can't hide the cries of many abandoned old people and children, but the Xiliang cavalry on horseback and patrol in the city is deaf.

She pushed the cart silently, occasionally helping Kong Yiji, who was walking beside her, and was a little sluggish.

[Do you think I can live like those Xiliang soldiers? 】

[Absolutely!] It says, "You are much stronger than them, so you can live more freely than they are!" 】

"Then I'll have to be careful," she said, "I can't live so wanton. 】

The Black Blade was silent for a moment, and as she was about to reach the city gate, it suddenly rang again, and there was even a hint of happiness in her voice.

[Turn back! Look! 】

Her garden full of vegetable seedlings, the courtyard gate that had been repaired repeatedly, and the hut with many carefully purchased belongings were burning in the flames.

…… This black blade is really not authentic.

The frightened and mournful crowd gradually gathered at the city gate like a river, and in the midst of the chaos, they did not even have time to pay attention to the suffering, but only to watch whether the children were lost, whether the food on the car had fallen, or whether they had to be a little distance from each other, so as not to huddle together. It's just that people are crowded together, carriages and carts are crowded together, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and if the cart is squeezed apart at this time, it will be dumbfounded.

With the strength that he would not lose in a fight with the bear, Lu Hangyu successfully sent the small cart out safely, but the ground was muddy, and he left ruts all the way along the way.
