Chapter 76: The Gate of Yong'an, the Vitality 2

"Open the door!"

"Let us in!"

The soldiers retreated into the city, and the Qianjin gates closed. The people who had been driven out by the soldiers came back like a black tide and slammed on the gates. The soldiers on the city tower shouted: "Go back! Go back! Those who have led the entanglement can go on the road, go east, don't stay!"

However, these Yongan people left their hometowns and fled all the way to the nearest imperial city. The gate of the imperial city was closed to them, and if they wanted to survive, they had to bypass the imperial city and walk further to the city further east.

But all the way here, it is already difficult and dangerous, and there are countless casualties. How can still have the energy to move forward? Even if everyone is given some coils, water and dry food, how many days can they survive on the road?

They were all disgraced, some dragged pots and pans, some carried dolls on their backs, some carried stretchers, supported them, lay down, and could no longer walk, sitting in pieces in front of the city wall. on the ground. The young men still had the strength to be angry, slamming the city gate and shouting: "You can't do this! You are killing us!"

"It's all Xianle people, do you want to kill them all!"

A man shouted hoarsely: "It's okay to drive us out, I won't go in, but let my wife and children stay, okay?!"

Like a mayfly shaking a tree, the city gate does not move at all.

Xie Lian stood above the tower. The white clothes flew over and over, he crossed the parapet and looked down. Outside the imperial city, all he saw were slowly wriggling human heads, black and dense, like the ant colony he saw when he was playing in the imperial garden when he was a child.

At that time, out of curiosity, he took a few more glances, stretched out a finger, and wanted to secretly poke it. Immediately, a palace servant shouted, "Your Highness, this thing is dirty, you can't touch it, you can't touch it!" Holding his skirt Came here in a hurry and crushed all those ants to death with a few feet.

When the ants are alive, there is nothing to see except for being densely packed. If they are trampled to death and become a pool of mud, they are nothing to look at.

And within the imperial city, thousands of houses are brightly lit, and the songs and music are faint. A city wall separates two completely different worlds.

It's just that the Yong'an people later couldn't go in, and the people who were inside had to be kicked out. Although it is cold and hard, Xie Lian probably knows that this is because the people of the imperial city and the people of Yong'an have more and more frictions and troubles over the past few months, leaving a group of men like this in the city, fearing that there will be troubles caused by cooperation between the inside and the outside.

However, there is one point that he thinks can be discussed, and he wonders: "Why do women and children also withdraw together? Some people inside can't go very far."

Fengxin and Mu Qing stand behind him. Admiration said: "If you want to withdraw, you have to withdraw together. You can't treat the widow equally, and you can't treat them differently, otherwise it will inevitably stimulate people. Why can't they stay and I can't stay?"

Feng Channel: "You think too much."

Mu Qing said lightly: "There are people who think so. Moreover, if the wife and children don't leave, those men will not be willing to leave very far, and they will come back sooner or later. If you stay in the city, you will leave troubles later."

These Yong'an people refused to leave, and the soldiers in the tower couldn't leave either, they all said, "Humph, let's just waste it!"

Since His Majesty has given an order, do you think it is useless to sit here and consume it? It consumes a day or two of energy, does it still consume a month or two, a year or two?

The soldiers and people of the imperial city all thought so. Some Yongan people resigned in despair, decided to take a gamble, and continued eastward, but there were not many. Most of them are still sitting at the gate of the city, hoping that the imperial city will open the door and let them in, at least give them a place to rest and make some repairs before continuing on the road. More new Yongan people came. Although they were very disappointed to see that the city gates were closed, they also joined the army with the heart of waiting and anticipation seeing so many people guarding them.

So, three or four days later, more and more people gathered at the gate of the city, and tens of thousands of people almost set up camp here, forming a spectacular spectacle. They relied on the water and dry food distributed by the lord of the country to support them, but they were reaching their limit.

This limit is on the fifth day.

For the past five days, Xie Lian has been divided into three parts every day, one for the believers in the Prince's Hall, one for arranging the rain and rain, and one for taking care of the Yongan people outside the city, even if there are Fengxin and love helpers , and sometimes feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed. On this day, at a certain time when he was not guarding outside the city, under the scorching sun, a scream suddenly sounded in front of the city gate.

Screaming is a couple holding a child. Everyone crowded around and said, "What's wrong with this child?" "Are you hungry or thirsty?"

The woman cried and fed the child with a blushing face, but all the water was spit out. His father said, "I don't know what's going on, he's ill, doctor, need a doctor!"

He rushed to the city gate with his son in his arms, clapped the door and said, "Open the door, open the door to help! Someone is going to die, and my son is going to die!"

The soldiers inside the door naturally dared not open the door. No matter if someone is really going to die, there are tens of thousands of people outside the door, don't even think about closing the door again, only dare to inform the superior soldiers. The weather was hot, and the soldiers who had been guarding for several days were also a little impatient, and said perfunctorily: "Give him water and food." So they used a rope to hang a little water and food down. The man said: "Thank you, thank you all the soldiers, but we don't want water and food, can you help us find a doctor?"

This is very embarrassing. You can neither let him in the door to find a doctor, nor hang a doctor down for him. God knows what will happen to this group of starving people who have been starved for four or five days? So, several generals said: "Forget it, don't worry about it, just ignore it, no one will die. If you ask again, just say it's an announcement. I have already gone to ask your Majesty the king."

The country lord has been very worried about Yong'an's affairs for several days, and he is frequently angry. Naturally, no one dares to bother him for this trivial matter. Several soldiers responded accordingly, and the man, being An Xin, repeatedly thanked the king, and knelt down and kowtowed. However, hour after hour passed, the shadow under the scorching sun moved from one side to the other, the doctor did not appear, but the child in his arms became hotter and hotter.

The husband and wife kept shaking hands while holding the child. The man was sweating coldly and murmured, "Is there anyone else here? Will you open the door for me?"

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly at the top of the tower: "Generals, I'm sorry, I want to ask... Where's the doctor?"

The soldier replied, "I've already gone to ask your Majesty the king, you can wait."

Some people below couldn't hold back: "I said that two hours ago, why haven't I come back yet?"

The soldiers obeyed the instructions of their superiors and ignored them after answering. The people under the wall were angry, helpless, and sad. They surrounded the child and began to doubt: "Did they really inform His Majesty the King? They lied to us, right?"

The child's father couldn't wait any longer, so he was heartbroken, carried the child and tied it on his back, and explained a few words to his wife. The woman took off an amulet around her neck and put it on her husband's neck. The man ran towards the city wall and tried to climb up.

The outside of the city wall was extremely difficult to repair. He grabbed a few and couldn't climb up. The rest of the men said: "I'll help you!" Dozens of people folded up Luohan and sent him to Zhang Xu Heights. At this point, the man could barely grab the rope used to hang water and food and continue to climb. The tens of thousands of people below were staring at him nervously, not daring to cheer him up for fear of finding out. The soldiers on the city tower stood guard for a few days, and the group of Yongan refugees did not make any major incidents. It was inevitable that they were a little slack. When the man climbed almost halfway up, they suddenly found a person on the city wall and shouted: "What! Don't climb the wall! Those who climb the wall will be killed without mercy! If you hear it, those who climb the wall will be killed without mercy!"

They threatened, and the man also said loudly: "I have no ill intentions! I just want to take the child to see a doctor, and I can't do anything!" He continued to climb while shouting. A general was eating, and when he heard this, he was extremely annoyed. If this person climbed up unharmed and set a precedent, wouldn't there be countless Yong'an people to follow suit? It must be stopped! So he strode out and shouted down from the wall: "Are you dying! Go down immediately, I can't spare you any longer!"

And the man had already climbed to a very high place, halfway through, he could go up with more effort, and naturally he refused to stop. The general always said one thing in the barracks, and no one dared to disobey his orders. It is very simple for anyone who dares not to listen. He came to the wall, drew his sword and slashed, and the rope broke.

The man held the broken rope and fell from the air. In the screams of countless people, he fell heavily on the hard ground outside the city gate.

Xie Lian appeared at this time.

The man was carrying a child on his back. With a "squeak", it was crushed into a mass of exploding meat sauce, and a flower of blood spattered several meters. His neck was also broken, his eyes were wide open, and a talisman slipped from his twisted neck. The word "Xianle" was written in the middle, and the gold thread was embroidered with patterns. It was the consecration amulet from the Prince's Palace.

The moment before he climbed, the man and his wife had held amulets and silently prayed for the blessing of His Royal Highness the Prince. Therefore, Xie Lian heard their prayers and rushed here.

However, after all, he is not the heroic protagonist of those legendary stories, and every time he can show up just before the knife falls in his hand, and leaves people under the knife at the critical moment. The woman didn't have the courage to open her husband's body to see what her son had become. She covered her face and screamed, without even looking, she ran forward, slammed her head against the wall, and fell down with a "dong" sound. Moved.

Right in front of Xie Lian, under the city wall of the imperial city, there were three more corpses in an instant!

He hasn't reacted yet, but the people outside the city gate can't take it anymore.

Someone scolded: "It's dead, a family of three, dead! Look, this is a good general who does things for our lord! Instead of saving us, he will force us to death!"

"If you don't let us in and don't send people out, what should people do? Three bloody human lives are watching you!"

"It is said that the Yongan people are going to withdraw from the imperial city. Why didn't those rich people withdraw together? We have no money and no power, should we wait to die? I can see through it!"

"I can't stand it anymore... I really can't stand it anymore. The taxes that should be collected every year are not less than collected. Where did they go during disaster relief?"

"I'd rather take money to feed the moth to repair his son's temple than to help the victims, just give some water and dry food to pass away, what are we? Huanjun, Huanjun!"

The soldiers shouted loudly on the tower, the general had never seen any battles, and did not take it to heart. However, the situation has gotten out of control. Thousands of angry hands slammed into the door, and some people rammed directly with their heads and bodies, but this time, it was no longer the beetles shaking the trees.

The city gate moved, and even the entire city tower was trembling faintly!

I have never seen such a situation since Xie Lian was born. The people he saw were kind, happy, prosperous, and lovely. These people with distorted faces and crying and shouting made him come to another completely unfamiliar world, and he couldn't help being horrified. Even when he faced the most terrifying demon and evil spirit, he never felt this way. At this moment, a roar came from above the tower.

He turned around suddenly, and saw a tall and thin figure pinching the general who cut the rope and caused the death of the three people under the city wall. A crisp "click" broke his neck.

All the soldiers didn't know how this person suddenly appeared. They were shocked and surrounded them with swords: "Who is it?!" "How did you come up?!"

Xie Lian quickly noticed his hands, which were already bloody. This man actually used a pair of fleshy palms to grab the city wall with almost no gap and climbed up. And when the figure turned around, it was indeed Lang Ying!

Surrounded by soldiers, Lang Ying was not at all chaotic, climbed the parapet, and threw the general's body to the bottom of the city tower. He also stepped on the body, using it as a stepping stone for buffering, and jumped down.

The moment before he jumped down, he looked straight at Xie Lian. But what he looked at was not thanks to pity, but penetrated him and saw the imperial palace located in the center of the imperial city.

From this day on, Xianle Kingdom was completely chaotic.
