Chapter 120: Killing the Son of Heaven
Hong Chen rushed over and shouted: "Why don't you let them cross the river? Why kill people!" The soldiers didn't turn their heads, only a person dressed as a general turned around, looked at Hong Chen twice, and said: "On the full moon festival, these homeless people are illegally gathered, obviously to cause chaos, and it is our duty to prevent them from protecting the stability of the city. ”
"There is a fire in the place where they live, and if they don't escape, they will die!" Hong Chen looked at the raging sea of fire, "What kind of chaos can they do with a group of unarmed homeless people." ”
At this time, the crowd on the other side of the bridge heard Hong Chen's words and shouted one after another: "Hero, save us!" "There is fire in the back, we are choking, a few people here have already fainted!" "Help, help!" "Master Bing, you can let us go, we just need to save our lives, and we will never do anything!"
Hong Chen stepped forward and said to the general: "You also heard it, let them cross the bridge!"
The general drew the long sword at his waist and said, "What do you want to do?
Hong Chen's footsteps stopped: "I just want you to let them cross the bridge, they have been smoked by thick smoke all the time, and they will die." ”
The general said: "But if these people are allowed to enter the city, how can the safety of the civilians in the city be guaranteed? The homeless people like to commit crimes, and they are punished for committing traitors, even if they can endure and not commit crimes, will the residents of the city not panic and be afraid? If there is chaos in the city, won't it give the lawless people the opportunity to endanger the Son of Heaven and his ministers? Besides, they don't have nowhere to go except this bridge, and they can't flee outside the city? Our duty is to protect the safety of the imperial city and protect the integrity of the Son of Heaven. Let these few people cross the bridge, but the whole country will be harmed!"
The fire was fierce, this group of soldiers had no intention of giving in, Hong Chen saw that the displaced people behind the bridge were choked on the smoke one by one and knelt on the ground and coughed, and there was no time for the generals to continue to argue, and he stepped forward again with his knife. The general squinted: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you can't be a hero!" raised his sword and stabbed at Hong Chen.
Click!
A crisp snapping sound sounded, and half of the blade flew into the sky.
After Hong Chen cut off the general's sword, he kicked him three feet away, and then rushed into the group of soldiers, and the blade rose and fell several times, cutting off all their Changge iron spears and bows. Without weapons, the soldiers could not stop the displaced people who were about to flee for their lives, and the people who poured onto the bridge pushed them into the river one by one, and they fluttered.
Seeing that the displaced people had successfully escaped, Hong Chen rushed into the fire again. Now it is known that the soldiers of the police station did not come to the moat to save people at all, but to stop the displaced people and prevent them from running into the city. The people near this bridge were let go, and what about the rest of the city? are the people who have escaped from the shed, and those who are still trapped in the shed?
Hong Chen couldn't understand why, whether it was the soldiers or other people in the city, they didn't care about the life and death of these homeless people, just because they were afraid of chaos, afraid that there would be homeless people entering the city to do illegal things, so they would let many innocent people be trapped in the sea of fire?
Soon Hong Chen reached another bridge, where the displaced people had already fought with the soldiers, and each other was killed and wounded. Hong Chen stepped forward and cut off the soldiers' weapons, but the homeless people did not all take the opportunity to escape, and a few picked up the broken blades on the ground and wanted to kill the soldiers. Hong Chen stopped them and said, "You can just escape, why do you want to kill them? Killing people is a capital crime!" An old homeless man roared with red eyes: "My father and mother were burned to death in the shed, my wife was choked to death by smoke, and my son was just killed by them.
"Run for your life!
Hong Chen didn't know how to reason with the homeless, so he only yelled at them viciously, knocked out the swords in their hands, and rushed to other places where they were on fire. Halfway through, I wondered, where would those homeless people who had broken into the city go now? Will there really be people who take the opportunity to steal or even kill people?
All kinds of things were circling in his already not sober mind, and Hong Chen became more and more irritable, more and more angry, and just wanted to cut everything down. Fang cut open a shed and pulled out two of the old men who were coughing non-stop, Hong Chen heard a commotion from behind, and turned his head to look, but it was a group of people with wet cloths on their faces and steel knives and axes in their hands who were also breaking down the door to save people in other sheds.
The leader of the group seemed to be a small man. When the little man saw Hong Chen, he only took three or two steps and leaped in front of Hong Chen, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I heard from the fleeing homeless people that there is a hero with a knife who has been saving people, and it turns out to be you." Remember me? I was going to treat you to some tea. ”
"Are you ......" Hong Chen thought about it carefully, and finally remembered the little merchant he had met on the street when he first came to Tianjing, "Ah", and said, "Why are you here...... Who are you?"
"We are the ones who save people. The little man said, "Little brother, don't talk too much, save people." ”
"Yes!"
Hong Chen nodded.
There are seventeen or eighteen people who follow the little merchant, although they are not martial arts masters, but they can still easily break the door with a knife. With the help of these people, more and more sheds were broken, and more and more people were rescued, and Hong Chen's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
In addition to rescuing the people in the shed, they would also go to the bridge of the moat, so that the blocked homeless people could break through the blockade of the soldiers, escape into the city, and then turn back to save the others. When saving people, some of the people were burned, but they all continued to save people, one of them was smashed by a broken pillar of fire and broke a hand, and he did not flee with the homeless, and continued to save people with his other hand, which made Hong Chen admire.
After more than an hour, Hong Chen and the little merchant finally rescued people all the way to the north of the shantytown, and rescued all the people who could still be saved. Many of those who had been rescued and those who had escaped on their own stood there, staring blankly at the burning homes. Hong Chen swept through the crowd several times, but he didn't find the Fire God Dragon Brother and the shed mother, and he couldn't remember whether he passed by the shed of the three brothers in the fire, so he had to comfort himself that they all knew some martial arts and should have fled a long time ago.
The little merchant put down a large jar and asked his companion to use the paste to apply to those who were more severely burned. He walked up to Hong Chen again and asked, "Little brother, you have such a big alcohol smell on your body, who are you so happy with and drink so much?"
"Some heroes...... Hero. ”
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Hong Chen hesitated. Before going down the mountain, I thought that those people were all great heroes, really heroes, heroes of the world, but shouldn't heroes and heroes be in a hurry to save people from fire and water? Why do they only care about the wine banquet and don't come to save people? But after all, everyone didn't expect the fire to burn so big, and they didn't know that the sheds were locked, so no wonder they did.
The little man said: "I don't know if others are heroes or heroes, you must be little brother." Dare to do it directly with the security guards, and tomorrow, Tianjing City will be full of your wanted portraits. Hong Chen shook his head and said: "I cover my face, no one in them sees my face, what do they want me." ”
"Hahaha! What a mask! What a man no one sees!" The little man suddenly laughed several times and said, "Do you want to do something big with me?"
Hong Chen asked, "What's the big deal?" Seeing that the little man led a group of men to save hundreds of people, Hong Chen already admired him very much in his heart, and in the process of saving people, he could see that this little man was a great master with unique skills. What will be the big thing he says?
"There is a lunar eclipse tonight, and today Ziqin led his ministers to the stargazing platform in the east of the city to watch the lunar eclipse. The little man raised his head and looked at the bright moon like a jade plate in the sky, "Now that the lunar eclipse has been exhausted and the banquet has ended, it is the time for the Son of Heaven to return to the palace.
Hong Chen was shocked when he heard this, although he knew that this unattractive little man was not a simple person, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to kill the Son of Heaven, how could he let people accept it calmly? Hong Chen now knew how heavy the Son of Heaven was, and he was the most noble person in the entire Yunzhou, Tianzhou, and Haizhou combined, with many courtiers and generals under his command, ruling over hundreds of people.
"Little brother, was he frightened when he heard that I was going to kill the Son of Heaven?" the little man suddenly clenched his hands and gurgled, staring at the still burning sea of fire, gritting his teeth and saying, "But if you know that thousands of people who died in the fire tonight were killed by the Son of Heaven, would you like to follow me to kill him?"
