Taiyang City, late at night, Yinshi.
Xiao Zhuzi huddled in a corner, looking around in horror.
There were densely packed people crouching around her, men, women, old and young, with families in tow. Most of them were carrying a suitcase on their backs. They were all crouching nervously at the corner of the street near the city wall. Under the night, At first glance, they stretch out for such a long distance that it is almost impossible to see the end.
Xiao Zhuzi had the impression that nothing good would happen if so many people were crowded together. She pulled her mother's arm and whispered: "Mom... How about we forget it... Xiao Zhuzi is afraid... We are not Should we wait for Sister Yuehan? She said she would protect..."
In this quiet street at night, the crisp sound of the small bamboos was very ear-piercing, and it immediately attracted the glares of the people around Taiyang City who were preparing to flee.
The proprietress covered her mouth, glared angrily and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up, don't talk!"
Xiao Zhuzi grabbed the landlady's hand hard and pulled her hand off his mouth, but how could a child's strength compare to that of an adult
The proprietress covered her mouth tightly and whispered: "Little Zhuzi, be good, don't talk! Let's see whether we live or die this time! Now the entire Taiyang City is sealed, the prefect wants to We are going to be trapped to death, and we are all going to get the plague and die here! If we want to live, we have to escape!"
As she said that, she looked at Xiao Zhuzi and whispered: "You want to live, right? You want to continue living with your parents!"
When the landlady said this, her voice was choked and her eyes were filled with pleading. Xiao Zhuzi nodded with tears in her eyes. The landlady then let go of her hand, hugged her tightly, and cried in a low voice: "My poor baby. !”
When the two of them cried like this, the other women and children around them couldn't help crying in low voices.
Soon the shopkeeper came back with his waist down. When he saw the crying women around him, he couldn't help but glared and whispered: "There is a mourning call!"
Since the landlady had no way to show her face anymore, and all the work of contacting the outside about the escape was given to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's temper obviously increased. After he scolded him, the landlady glared at him with red eyes, and whispered: "I thought you would never come back!"
The shopkeeper shrank his neck, forced a smile, and said with a smile: "The joints have been opened up, we are just waiting for the news!"
The landlady whispered: "What news!"
The refugees who were preparing to flee all around were looking at them eagerly. After all, the proprietress and the shopkeeper, thanks to Xiaozhuzi, had something to do with Li Chengfeng, a celebrity next to the prince, so they also followed the rising tide and were eligible to participate. Come to this escape plan.
The shopkeeper coughed in a low voice, straightened his chest, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud night owl sound coming from outside.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said: "The news is here! Hurry, get ready to go!!"
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately followed the shopkeeper's cat-walking along the street corner and quickly towards the corner of the city wall. The long and dense flow of people began to slowly squirm.
…
At the same time, the lights were rarely turned on in the prefect's mansion. The prefect Li Tian was slumped on a chair sweating profusely. His eyes were straight and his whole body was shaking. He subconsciously murmured over and over: "How can this be done? How can this be done?" Make it happen!?"
While he was still in the warm bed, Ji Chen broke in and pulled him up from the bed. Before Li Tian could get angry, he was frightened by the news from Ji Chen!
The entire Taiyang City, from wealthy businessmen to officials, from civilians to refugees, all have planned to break through the city and escape late at night!
This news was so shocking that it frightened Li Tian!
Ji Chen bowed slightly to the side and came close to Li Tian. His voice was like a devil's and he whispered: "Sir, these unscrupulous people do not care about the love and care of the prefect, and they only want to escape! Their intentions are to be punished. Everyone deserves to be killed!"
Li Tian suddenly sat upright and said in horror: "What will I do if they escape?"
Ji Chen immediately said: "Yes, these unscrupulous people are thinking about their own despicable lives, but they never understand the position of the old man! If they escape, the plague will spread everywhere, and the old man will be charged with neglecting his duties immediately. Really, if both crimes are punished at the same time, I am afraid that my boss will lose his life! Who will understand your painstaking efforts at that time!"
Li Tian grabbed Ji Chen's hand in horror and said, "Master, save me! I treat you very well, Master, and you can't just die without saving me!"
Ji Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of evil and murderous intent. He made a beheading gesture and whispered: "The only solution right now is... kill!!"
Li Tian was shocked: "Kill!?"
"Yes!" The murderous words popped out from between Ji Chen's teeth, "Kill!!"
Li Tian stood up in horror and said: "That's twenty to thirty thousand people!! How to do it!! And, who will do it!!"
Although Li Tian is incompetent, he is not hopelessly stupid sometimes. He knows very well that the current guards are about to rebel. After all, most of them are locals in Taiyang, so he asked them to surround the city. Not allowing the people to escape would be enough to test their endurance and sense of justice.
Although it is said these days that good men should not be soldiers, good iron should not be hammered, and although most of the Central Army, Long Tenghai, and Zhan family soldiers are actually good soldiers, the land area of Daqi is too vast, and most places have permanent garrison troops. Soldiers have long been rotten. Most of the soldiers are Qiubabingyouzi. When they gather together, they become soldiers, and when they are in chaos, they become bandits. This is the best portrayal of them.
But even so, most of them have a bottom line, otherwise they would not be inspired by the prince to gather together and fight bravely against the tide of dead corpses.
At this time, everyone was thinking about the order of the prefect Li Tianxia: This is forcing everyone to die!
Since the prefect did not give them a way to survive, why did they still work for the prefect? They are not so stupid!
So it is absolutely impossible for them to kill these fleeing refugees!
Ji Chen seemed to have the answer already. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I've already prepared it!" After saying that, he looked towards the corner of the room, and Li Tian followed his gaze. I found that there was another person standing in the shadows in the corner of the house. This person was of medium build and looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was dressed as a scholar. He smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness, the Fourth Highness, would like to say hello to Mr. Li!"
Li Tian understood instantly. He looked at Ji Chen in great horror: "You... you..."
Ji Chen smiled slightly and said: "Master Li, you have no way out! Except for the Fourth Highness who can help you at this time, no one in the world can save you!"
Li Tian fell back into his seat, completely paralyzed, because he knew that he had become a piece of meat on the chopping board, and there was no room for resistance anymore!
At this moment, on the east side of Taiyang City, the soldiers quietly moved away the roadblocks and opened the city gate. As the city gate creaked open, the people looked outside excitedly, as if they had seen Hope of life!
But when they patiently walked through the city gate and walked out two or three hundred meters away, they suddenly found a group of knights standing quietly on the edge of the jungle in the distance. Under the moonlight, the sabers in their hands were shining brightly. It shines brightly, forming a silver-white wave!
The common people watched in horror as the leader of the group of knights waved his saber in their direction, and then the knights suddenly rode up on their horses, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling, and they raised their sabers high and fiercely Attack these unarmed people!
A horrific, bloody, cruel and inhumane massacre... broke out!
