Chapter 471: Troops approaching the city, each flying(1/2)
Shengjing’s 400,000-strong army has arrived!
Hearing this sentence, the expressions of everyone present changed. Yuan Yichu walked to the door and asked Yang Yunhui: "Has everything been arranged in the army?"
"It has been arranged. I have already dispatched all the soldiers in the camp, and the city gate has been protected. No matter what, we must not let Luosh get in so easily!"
"Okay!"
Yuan Yichu nodded, and Yang Yunhui immediately turned around and walked out. He glanced at me as he passed by me. At this time, I was still thinking about Huang Tianba in my mind. I couldn't believe that he really
There was an accident and I no longer responded to the things around me.
Until Yuan Yichu walked up to me and looked down at me.
When I first raised my head and met his dark eyes, I was slightly startled. He said, "What's wrong?"
"...Master Huang, is he really dead?"
He looked at me with a cold face, was silent for a long time, and said: "If he had more important things to do in his heart, then he would not die so easily; if he died so easily, he really deserves to die.
”
When I heard the last sentence, I frowned slightly, but when I wanted to say something, I couldn't say anything, so I just lowered my head in silence.
Yuan Yichu looked into my eyes and said: "I heard that a few days ago, you asked Yang Yunhui to ask for a group of people in the military camp, right?"
I nodded: "Yeah."
"You are planning to leave here if Dongzhou cannot hold on."
"Yeah."
He sneered and took a step closer to me. My back was pressed against the door. He stretched out his hand and pinched my chin: "Why, husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, we will fly separately?"
p>
I looked up at him calmly and said, "Don't forget, we also have a daughter."
"..."
He raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly remembered this matter, and I sighed in my heart. Sure enough, he had forgotten about Li'er, and had not even thought about it. If we both really "martyr ourselves" here,
What should our daughter do? He didn't think about it at all...
Maybe, he just didn't care enough to think about it...
Since that quarrel, I have never asked him about his family affairs, whether he really has those "three wives and four concubines", and whether those wives have given birth to children for him, is it more important than Li'er? Now
It seems that maybe there is no need to ask.
"I am a mother, and in my eyes, children are the most important."
He looked at me blankly for a while, and finally slowly let me go.
My chin hurt a little from being pinched by him. I reached out and touched it gently, and then turned to leave. He stood behind me and suddenly said: "Since you are ready to leave, why haven't you left yet?"
I stopped for a moment and didn't look back: "No matter what, I should get through these days with you."
"..."
"Don't worry, as long as the city gate is not breached, I will not leave."
"..."
I slowly turned back and looked at him: "I also hope that you can protect me and my child."
After saying this, I turned around and left without looking back.
The state capital is still a long way from the city gate. I can't hear what's going on there, but the sky seems to be able to sense the battle. The hazy sky is full of thick dark clouds, which seem to be pressing down on everyone.
The top of one's head is like crushing everyone.
The fishy wind, carrying yellow sand, roars from the grassland.
As soon as the common people in Dongzhou City heard that Shengjing's army was coming, they all turned pale with fear. They ran and shouted one by one. They didn't even have time to pack up their belongings at home, so they ran towards the south city gate to escape.
The state was in chaos. Before I even walked out of the door, I heard the commotion outside——
"Run quickly! Shengjing's troops are coming!"
"They are coming to massacre the city, run!"
When I walked to the door, the carriage and guards were already waiting there. As soon as they saw me coming out, they immediately came forward and bowed: "Madam."
I nodded and looked at the north gate again, but I could only hear the cold wind and nothing else. I wondered if Luo Shi had already arrived at the city and how the battle was going.
A guard came forward: "Madam, let's leave first. It will be difficult to handle when there are more people."
"..." I thought for a while, finally nodded, and let him help me get into the carriage. This time I left as an escape. The carriage I chose was light and strong, and the horse pulling the carriage was also a good horse with good footwork. Comfort was a priority.
I couldn't get up, and after sitting in it for a while, I felt a little painful.
I sat in the carriage, listening to the sounds of people running and shouting outside. I gently raised the curtain, and what I saw was the panic in the city.
At this time, a tall shadow flashed before my eyes. If I looked carefully, I saw that it was the West Gate of Dongzhou City, standing in the distance.
Dongzhou City is built on the mountain, with towering mountains to the east, extending to the Yunling Mountains, so the city does not have an east city gate; at this moment, the north city gate may be facing an attack by Shengjing's 400,000-strong army.
At the South City Gate, tens of thousands of people swarmed away, trying to escape the city, while the West City Gate became the quietest place.
It was also the place where merchants and travelers who came south from Shengjing entered the city.
"Stop."
As soon as the driver heard my voice, he immediately stopped the carriage, and the guard who had been following him immediately came up: "Madam, what's the matter?"
I said: "Turn around and go to the west gate."
"West City Gate?"
They looked at each other and looked at me doubtfully: "Madam, what are you doing there? We should leave the city as soon as possible."
I smiled lightly and said: "I'm afraid the south gate is already packed now. It would have wasted time. It's better to leave the city through the west gate. Besides - I also want to go there and have a look first, then turn around."
Although they were still a little puzzled, I couldn't deny it even after I opened my mouth. The driver turned the horse's head and the carriage galloped towards the west gate.
When we arrived at the west gate, it was really quiet here. All the soldiers in General Yang Yunhui's camp were transferred to the north gate for protection. There was only a group of soldiers guarding the city, but they were very cautious. As soon as they saw my carriage, they immediately left with spears in their hands.
When I came over, I opened the curtain and looked out. When they saw it was me, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Madam."
I nodded and looked around again: "Is everything okay here?"
They were also a little surprised, why did I come here for no reason, but they immediately said: "Nothing happens here. I wonder why Madam came here?"
The guard beside the carriage immediately came up and said: "Madam plans to leave the city from here."
"Leave the city?" They were stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "But, my lord has already ordered that the city gate here cannot be opened."
"Oh?"
"Although the West City Gate and the North City Gate are far apart, just in case——"
Before they finished speaking, I immediately understood. I looked up at the tall city gate. Sure enough, it had been reinforced with many huge buttons and thick pillars against the door. It seemed that Yuan Yichu had also thought of this.
of.
Now, I just hope that I am overthinking.
As soon as the guards heard that the city gate could not be opened, they immediately said to me: "Madam, since we can't do it this way, let's go south."
"No, I want to stay here for a while."
The guards all looked at me with some confusion. After all, there was nothing to do here, and they didn’t know what I was going to do if I stayed here. However, they didn’t say any more, and they all retreated and stood guard around the carriage.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that there are some urgent emotions mixed in the wind, but it makes the silence at the gate of the city even more obvious.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of horse hooves in the wind.
With a thought in my mind, I opened the curtain of the carriage, looked back, and saw a carriage speeding over from the avenue behind. After a while, I arrived at the West City Gate. The driver saw me from the window, and immediately
He was stunned for a moment: "Madam?"
I looked at him, and my heart sank for some reason.
This person is none other than Mr. Yuan’s servant, so the person in the carriage——
I raised the curtain higher, and saw the servant turn over and jump down, carefully lifting the curtain of the carriage, and a familiar figure stepped out of the carriage, still dressed in white clothes like snow, with a head full of green silk hair.
, which makes that delicate face as beautiful as a crown jewel even more beautiful.
When he saw me, he was slightly startled: "You - here?"
"Master Yuan..."
I also got off the carriage and walked slowly in front of him. At this time, his expression had returned to his natural state, and he still had a soft smile on his face, looking at me gently. I was about to say something, but I saw
There was a thick bandage on his wrist, and on his shoulder, although there was a burqa outside, he could faintly see that there was a bandage there, with a trace of pink inside, and he was shocked: "You are injured.
?"
He didn't speak, but the servant behind him said: "On that day, in order to protect you, the young master suffered a serious arrow wound on his back and was unconscious for several days before he woke up."
I was immediately shocked.
It was that day that I went to help the wounded soldiers with him, but we got caught in a raid, and he suddenly disappeared. I was worried for a long time, but Yuan Yichu never allowed me to leave the house, and I couldn't find him. I didn't expect him.
To be continued...
