Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Several strikers hurried to him, kneeling and said, "My son, Cangzhou City does not have a garrison now. Our people have entered the city and guarded every barrier. Now the city is completely under our control. Off. "

The wind was blowing the earth with a faint smell of dirt.

The smoke of smoke and fire broke out last night, and they completely dissipated with the dawn. At this time, I felt that the surroundings were strangely quiet, except for the sad cry of a few wounded soldiers. .

I don't know what kind of situation is in the city?

However, since all the barriers have reached their hands, that is to say, the fall of Cangzhou City is a matter of fact.

However, Song Huaiyi was cautious in the end. He led the horse to Pei Yuanxiu and said softly, "Son, do you want to take a rest?"

"No need,"

Pei Yuanxiu raised his hand and stopped him from saying, "Go into the city."

When Song Huaiyi heard it, his eyes flashed a little light, and he immediately turned around and ordered to go down: "Line up, enter the city!"

|

Before we entered the city, a team of soldiers entered Cangzhou City and opened the road on both sides, but even so, when we entered the empty gate full of impacts and slashing opportunities, the inside The situation like purgatory on earth immediately came into view.

The city is very quiet.

No sound, no sound, only our horseshoes, wheels, and monotonous **** sounds when stepping on and rolling over the road, spreading in the empty streets and even far. Even when our team went from south to north, we did not experience such silence when we passed the most empty wilderness and the most inaccessible mountain road.

But this city is not empty.

As soon as the curtain of the carriage is opened, you can see both sides of the street. In addition to standing in two rows to guard our guards, there are many ordinary people in rags, some sitting paralyzed, holding in their arms. Dead is a living child; some have straight eyes and hands hanging to their sides. Except for the clothing corners being blown by the wind, the rest are stiff, like scarecrows who have no life. They are as thin as firewood, like skeletons. There was a layer of dry human skin on everyone's eyes, and there was no glory in everyone's eyes, leaving only two naked words-

hunger.

If the eyes behind these two words can be turned into hands, they will surely grab everything in front of them and put them in their mouths.

But these people even have no strength to move. The roadside trees and bark have long been cleaned. You can see random pots on some street corners, and beside the cold charcoal ash, some broken pieces are discarded. Cracked clothes, and-bones of unknown meaning.

I don't know what animal bones, or ...

I shuddered and lowered the curtain.

But the pictures in front of me were already like a red soldering iron, deeply imprinted into my heart, and brought painful pain.

I bit my lower lip, stretched out my trembling hand and went to open the curtain, but just cornered it, but found that the situation outside was blocked by a figure-it was Pei Yuanxiu, who deliberately slowed the horse under his seat. Going down, I went to the window beside the carriage and blocked everything outside. When I saw that I opened the curtain, I bowed my head and said, "Don't watch."

"..."

"Not good for the fetus."

"..."

I have nothing to say, I can only bite my lower lip and slowly lower the curtain.

Moving forward this way, I did not see the situation outside, but I knew in my heart that reality can only be more cruel than in the phenomenon.

And every time we walk, we will hear a team of people coming forward to report the situation. Obviously, the surrounding situation is under their control. However, this calmness made me feel a bit surprised. The Cangzhou City suddenly opened. This is already I have some doubts about the incredible things, are they setting up an empty city plan or setting up an ambush waiting for the people here to cast their own nets, but now it seems that all the levels in the city have been Pei Yuanxiu, and Song and Cui The two controls, that is, have really given up resistance completely.

But why did you suddenly give up resistance?

If these people in the city are to survive, then they should be considered when they are besieged for a period of time. Now it seems that they have already suffered a lot and even opened the city after dying a large number of people. This is obviously not considered for survival.

It is neither for the sake of life nor any traps. What is going on now?

Listening to the sound of footsteps and horseshoes outside, my heart was slowly chaotic.

At this time, we have been walking in this city for a long time on this avenue, and I do n’t know how many people came to report the situation in front of us. This time they came again, but it seems they are coming more urgently than before. I heard someone rushing over to Pei Yuanxiu: "My son!"

Pei Yuan said: "What?"

"We have found the Cangzhou officials and officials."

"Where?"

"Just ahead."

"How's it going?"

"We've surrounded it there, and just rushed in when the son ordered it, grabbing the people inside."

"..."

This time, Pei Yuanxiu didn't give an order immediately, and didn't even speak, just a little silence.

I leaned by the window and frowned slightly when I heard them.

I think that Song Xuan, who is outside now, must have felt uneasy in his heart. Pei Yuanxiu knows that there are people in the Cangzhou city who are secretly surrounded by him. At this time, he surrounded the officials and wanted to arrest the people inside, apparently in order to find out the "spies" around him. Xuanhe Zhang, the old lady was afraid--

Thinking of this, the heart that had been put down was raised again.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu said: "Don't worry, you must catch alive-"

But he didn't finish his words, and suddenly stopped, as if something had interrupted him, I was wondering about this, and I heard a noise outside, a few horses seemed to be shocked, and the hoof sound And, with an uneasy snoring noise, some people exclaimed.

Someone said aloud, "Look!"

It seemed that something had really happened in front of me, and everyone was surprised. Someone exclaimed.

This time I finally couldn't hold it, I hurriedly opened the curtain and reached out, seeing all the people around me stopped, looking at the sky in amazement, I also turned around and looked, and saw A thick black smoke rose in front of it, straight into the sky.

Among the black smoke, there seemed to be a flicker of fire.

It's on fire!

Pei Yuanxiu frowned: "Where is that?"

There was a team of men and horses next to them. They seemed to be the pioneers who explored the road. At this time, when they looked back, they were all shocked. One of them said, "The other side is like the official Cangzhou City!"

"what?"

Pei Yuanxiu frowned: "Who let you do it!"

The man panicked and said in a hurry, "No, we didn't do it!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanxiu and Song Huaiyi on the side, and Cui Tai frowned. Song Huaiyi said immediately, "Son, we must hurry over, we must catch a live mouth!"

I subconsciously looked at Song Xuan behind him. At this time, Song Xuan looked at the black smoke in front of him, and his face was heavy with expressions. Seeing Pei Yuanxiu they drove the horse to the past, he bit his teeth and followed.

The carriage was faster this time than before. Fortunately, the cushion was very soft and not too bumpy. After running for a while, it finally reached the official residence of Cangzhou City.

There was chaos outside.

Before he got off the horse, Pei Yuanxiu said to my carriage window: "Don't come down!"

I opened the curtain and looked out. The outside was already a mess, and the black smoke I just saw in the distance was billowing. Looking at this place, it was already raging into the sky. The house in front of me completely turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the gate seemed It was locked from the inside, and the soldiers outside were slamming into the door.

With a bang, the door which had already set fire was finally opened, and the door panel fell suddenly.

But in this way, a fire dragon roared out from the inside, and rushed to the door knocker. Several soldiers who hit the door were caught off guard. They were wrapped in flames and turned into a fireman, screaming. Rolling down to the ground, the people around them rushed to extinguish the flames on them.

Water and fire were ruthless. At this time, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they could only retreat; and the surrounding horses were also afraid of fire. When they saw the fire, they were struggling and frightened.

Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows tightened, and he squeezed his whip: "Fire! Be sure to rescue the people inside!"

The following were immediately ordered: "Yes!"

Although the military order is like a mountain, no one really dared to rush in with such a large flame. They hurriedly found the nearby water source and began to extinguish the fire at the door. When the fire was smaller, there were a few brave men who would die. The cotton clothes were soaked in cold water and draped in.

At this time, there was a loud noise coming from inside. It seemed that something huge was coming to the ground. I heard what sound I thought for a while before I understood it. It was the sound of the house beam burning and collapsing.

Looking up, sure enough, inside the gate, those high towers collapsed.

The fallen pavilion stirred up huge smoke, and the heat waves rolled, almost peeling away a layer of skin from the face. I lay beside the window and watched the flame drop down little by little, but was caught by the fire. As the picture turned red, Pei Yuanxiu's face slowly turned pale, and in his eyes, a little bit of sharp light was gathered.

There are some things that are destined to be completely burned and covered up with this fire!
