Chapter 753 Qingzhou has arrived

As the westernmost border prefecture of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, Qingzhou Prefecture only built two gates, east and west, and was built very grandly. The city was eight feet high. Even Bai Heran rarely saw such a high city wall in later generations.

It seems to be to resist foreign enemies. After all, it is a border city and guards the shoreless sea. The city defense must be more firmly built.

Jun Muxi said: "All the cities along the border of Dongqin are eight feet high and six feet thick, which is the standard set by the court." As he said that, he raised his head and looked at him, "Even if it is my lightness skill, I can't get up at this height, and I have to weigh my feet in the middle. If it is ordinary skill, it can't get up at all."

Bai Heran was crying. She was not very good at light skills. She would definitely not be able to reach this height. She could get down when she was down, but that was no different from jumping off a building. Building such a high city wall on the border is indeed conducive to defense. Unfortunately, such a height limits the master's light skills and blocks the enemy's troops, but she can't resist the whistling waves when the shoreless sea blinks.

"I have been walking for three days and three nights, A Ran, your face is very bad." Jun Muxi reminded her, "I'm afraid he will feel distressed when I see Lin'er like this."

"The fourth brother is not much better. I said that I was walking for the last three days and three nights, so I didn't stop me. It's true that I was anxious. The fourth brother was worried. The closer I was to Qingzhou Prefecture, the more I couldn't stop. Look at yourself, the green lining was wrinkled and the lower jaw was growing. If the girls in the capital saw it, they would definitely not believe that this was the fourth prince."

Jun Muxi raised his hand and touched his chin, and smiled helplessly, "You are right, I don't fight for you."

Many people came out of Qingzhou City one after another. Some asked their families to take care of their families, some carried their bowls, and some even pulled out the rice in the fields, tied them up bundles and piled them onto ox carts and pulled them out of the city.

I can’t understand the snow in winter, “What is this for? Why do I feel like everyone is moving? Can’t people live in Qingzhou Prefecture?”

Bai Heran looked at her, "Look carefully, have you noticed any other problems?"

Dongtianxue looked at the city gate again. Before she could see it clearly, Moyu was confused: "Why are all people leaving the city, but none of them entered the city? Isn't that right? It's still early in the morning, and the city gate just opened, and it's the most important time when someone should enter the city."

Winter Snow also reacted, "Yes, no one has entered the city, they all have left the city, and they all have moved out of the city."

"Just ask." The fourth prince raised his hand, and Yan Guan immediately rushed forward and faced the nearest family.

"Auntie, old man, I came from another place. I looked at Qingzhou Prefecture and wanted to ask you about it." As he said that, he took out the snacks he bought in the city from his bag and handed them to the two children he was carrying around the old couple.

The family also looks poor. Everyone carries their belongings and carry pots and pans, but they don’t even have a carriage or donkey cart, so they can only walk on foot. The two children were very happy when they saw it, but they didn’t dare to answer. They just looked at their grandparents and asked in a low voice: “Grandma, can we ask for it?”

The two old men were not sure about it, so they asked Yan Guan: "Brother, what are you going to ask about?" After asking, they looked at Bai Heran and his group of people. Although this journey was full of dust, they still couldn't hide their luxurious posture. They knew that these were noble people. So they felt even more uneasy, and they really didn't know what would happen if they were stopped by a group of noble people.

Seeing that they were hesitating, Yan Guan stepped forward and forced the snacks to the two children, and then said to the old couple: "Don't be afraid, you two, we are not bad people, and we don't want to inquire about many confidential matters. Besides, I won't ask you two old people about confidential matters. What can you two old people know? Is this the reason?"

The old couple nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we are ordinary people, and we don't know any secret matters. Then, my brother, what do you want to ask? This kid has eaten all the snacks, please ask!"

Yan Guan smiled and said, "I just want to ask, what's wrong with Qingzhou Prefecture? Why are there only people who leave the city, but no ones who come into the city? Also, why are all people who leave the city like this..." He pointed to the old couple, "Why are they all carrying their families with their families and carrying basins and bowls? Are you moving? The whole city is moving?"

When the old couple heard that he asked this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then they heard the old woman say, "Don't you know yet? Qingzhou Prefecture is not guaranteed. Now the city gate in the west has been closed to death, and the East City Gate is only given up and not allowed to enter. Tang Lan Kingdom is gone, and Daxiao is about to photograph our Qingzhou coming. Everyone is running for their lives, and they will take as much as they can."

Bai Heran and Jun Muxi looked at each other, and neither of them looked very good.

Yan Guan asked the old woman: "Is it the government issued a notice to ask the people in the city to move as soon as possible?"

"Yes, the government issued a notice, but the government only said that we would leave Qingzhou City as soon as possible and go east as possible, but did not say how far we would have to run to escape the big roar." The old woman said while wiping her tears, "The family was already hard, and her son fell into the river and drowned in the early years. His wife could not keep the poverty and ran away with others, leaving only two children. The old couple pulled the two children from three to five years old, but they had not saved up a copper coin in the past two years. Living in Qingzhou City, at least there was a house at home, so we suddenly moved. We really..."

"Oh, let alone those, it's not our family who moved. Everyone in Qingzhou City has to move. Some people who live worse than us are. You can save your tears and keep your energy on walking." The old man advised his wife, and he sighed.

"I know, I know." The old woman wiped her tears and persuaded Yan Guan, "Brother, you are from outside, don't know how powerful this big roar is, right? Don't go into the city quickly, run as soon as possible, run as much as you can. You have horses, and you are much faster than us. Run as quickly as possible, it will be too late tonight."

"Where to run?" the old man sighed, "I saw how high the big roar was that day. I just slapped Tang Languo and the water didn't reach the bottom of the walls of our Qingzhou City. I heard that there was a bigger roar, which was ten times taller than the previous one, so how could I run!" The old man beat his legs, "I don't have good legs and feet. I think I can't walk far, so I might die on the road. I just pity these two children. Without parents, my grandparents can't protect them for a few days."

The old man sighed, pulled a child with one hand, and said thank you for the snacks at Yan Guan, and urged the old woman to leave quickly.

Bai Heran thought about it, came over and told them: "A further thirty miles eastward is the mountainous area. When we came over, we saw continuous mountains and mountain Chongling Jun. Just run up the mountain, as high as you can. You can go up as high as you can. The roar is coming, and only the height can save your life."

The old couple looked frustrated, "Girl, I know you have a kind heart, but our family is either old or small, and we can't climb the mountain. Let's just run east and run as far as we can. Thank you girl."

Bai Heran was also helpless. Indeed, the old and the young must not be able to climb the mountain.

She looked at Moyu, who immediately understood, took out a silver dollar from her sleeve, dismounted her horse, and handed it to the old woman.

Bai Heran said: "Thank you for informing Qingzhou Prefecture about the situation, and run away quickly!"

The old couple had never seen such a large silver dollar. They wanted to say that they would not receive any rewards without merit, but now they are really short of money on the way to escape. In the end, they had to close their eyes and then kneel down and kowtow to Bai Heran.

Bai Heran received this gift without any intention, beat the horse to the Qingzhou city gate. A guardian of the city stopped them and said loudly: "The city is closed, only you are allowed to go out and not enter. No matter who comes, stay away quickly."

Dao Guang and Yanguan fought with each other and heard Yanguan say, "When they enter the city, they say that the Fourth Palace and Princess Tong Tianci have arrived!"

As soon as this said, the officer and soldier were stunned. They were stunned for several breaths before they came back to their senses. Then they jumped up on the ground and screamed with joy. "The Fourth Palace is down! Princess Tianci is coming! The Fourth Palace is down! Princess Tianci is coming!"

The people who left the city stopped after hearing this and looked at Bai Heran's vocation.

Someone said, "The one wearing a purple skirt is Princess Tianci? She is so beautiful, with big eyes and high noses, and looks like an alien. The young man in the blue shirt next to her must be the fourth prince, who looks like a god-like Taoist priest in a script."

"Oh, no matter who comes, no matter whether he looks like a god or a Taoist priest, after all, he is not a real god. We should still run away. Let's go quickly, but we don't have time to delay. Who knows when Daxiao will come? Maybe he's taking a photo in a daze."

"Yes, go quickly, run away quickly, and escaping is important."

The Gu master who followed Bai Heran and his party was still enthusiastic. He learned from Bai Heran's previous words and told those who were about to die: "There are mountains thirty miles eastwards, so climb as high as possible, and it is best to avoid the roar at a high place."

After hearing this, people thanked him and urged his family to leave. The Gu Master said he felt very accomplished.

Soon, a familiar figure walked quickly from the city. Bai Heran smiled and said to Jun Muxi: "It's Luo Xiu."

Jun Muxi nodded, "Lin'er should count the day we will arrive in Qingzhou City."

Sure enough, after Luo Xiu was approaching and saluting the two of them, he immediately said, "Master, I guess that Your Highness and the Princess should arrive in the past two days. Let the subordinates stare at the city gate more, and immediately lead them to the prefectural yamen as soon as they arrive."

After he finished speaking, he asked the soldiers guarding the city to lead the horse over and turned over the horse, "Let's go, there are too many people at the city gate, and I will talk to Your Highness and the Princess on the way to tell the situation of Qingzhou City."

The group followed Luo Xiu into Qingzhou City, and the order was quickly restored at the city gate. People no longer stayed and hurried out of the city.

There are many people in the city and horses are not moving fast. Luo Xiu pointed to the people who moved and said, "The entire Qingzhou City has been moved almost all, and only 20% of the people have not finished moving. I think we can move all of them in two or three days. But there are some who are really unwilling to leave, so there is no way, so they can only defend their homes. But we can't hold on for long, so we can't hold on..."

As he was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, with the fishy smell of the sea.

Bai Heran's heart skipped a beat and said it was not good...
