Chapter 24
After all, Li Fengxian and Dong Dacheng were more prudent than others, and after getting excited, they asked, "Princess, when are we leaving the city?"

An Ning said: "Don't worry, the rebel army has just captured the capital and hasn't stabilized yet. Let's take this opportunity to rescue some people, otherwise we will have no one to use in the future."

Li Fengxian said: "I know those adults' residences, I can lead people to rescue them."

Not to be outdone, Dong Dacheng said: "Princess, I also know about it, and I have been dealing with the foreign court for a long time, so I know much more about the mansions of those adults than he does."

The two just wanted to survive at first, but after they survived, they started fighting again.Not to mention that the East and West Garden Guards have always had a tradition of fighting, but for the trust of the princess and for their own status, they must also fight.

An Ning said: "Stop arguing, we will need more time from you in the future. You pick 15 elites from each of the two garden guards. If you are good at hiding your tracks, they will save people later."

Soon 30 people stood in front of An Ning. It seemed that the leaders on both sides had already explained it. Everyone looked high-spirited and looked at An Ning expectantly.

An Ning said: "Everyone, everyone knows the current situation: the rebel army invaded the capital, and the father died as a martyr. Before the martyrdom, he handed over the two garden guards to me, hoping to restore my Daping country. I know this is difficult. But being a subjugated slave is even more difficult! Everyone is a warrior of Daping, and I am here to implore everyone, for the sake of Daping and not to be a subjugated slave, everyone must work together to restore our country."

An Ning bowed solemnly.

Everyone hastily avoided An Ning's salute, and promised: "Princess, don't worry, we will never be subjugated slaves."

"We must restore Daping and restore our rivers and mountains."

"Yes, under the leadership of the princess, Daping will definitely be restored."

"From now on, we will be the sword in the princess's hand, absolutely pointing and hitting."

An Ning said: "On behalf of the father and Daping, I would like to thank everyone for their loyalty and courage. Just now, I asked the two commanders to select 30 elites. I hope to save some capable ministers and generals, so as to increase strength for the restoration of Daping."

An Ning took out the list she collected earlier.On it are the family of Xue Cong, the second assistant of the cabinet, the family of the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the family of Wang Dawei, the current general of the Pingan Prefecture, and the family of the former Prince Rui.

"These families must be saved. You should be divided into groups. Those who should be rescued should be rescued, and those who should be covered. The lives of these ministers are important, and your lives are also important. I hope that you can all come back alive."

The two garden guards were a little moved, and few high-ranking people were willing to pay attention to their lives.The 30 people set off full of energy, vowing in their hearts that they must rescue people and help the princess reduce her burden.

After the 30 people left, Li Feng led others to destroy the tunnel, and Dong Dacheng was about to leave the city.Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and only after 30 people came back from the rescue, they left here.

An Ning told the rest of them to rest first and maintain their strength.

There was a lot of noise outside, with voices shouting to kill, voices cheering, and voices begging for mercy. It was like a symphony that entered people's ears. Cruelty and joy coexisted.

An Ning was a little worried about whether the two garden guards could complete the task. The entire capital could only find these few usable ones. They were all precious species, and it would be distressing to lose one of them.

On the other side, Xue Cong's family was in chaos. They all knew that the rebels had entered the city, but he was the second minister in the cabinet and one of the few high-ranking adults. He didn't know how he would be treated by the rebels.

Mrs. Xue said: "Master, I heard from my servants that several adults in the cabinet are planning to surrender to the rebels. It's better, sir."

Xue Cong interrupted: "No, I am a subject of Daping, and I am deeply favored by the emperor. How can I surrender to the rebels? If God wants Daping to perish, I will also be a pioneer who died for the country today."

Mrs. Xue opened her mouth, and a servant girl ran in in embarrassment and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, madam, the rebels are coming in.

Xue Cong stood up suddenly, picked up his sword and went out to meet him.Although the literati have no power to tie the chicken, they can't just do it.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Cong leaving with a pale face, closed her eyes, and then said: "Fetch the young master."

"mother."

Mrs. Xue looked at her son's panicked face, and leaned towards her relyingly.Madam Xue didn't care about comforting him, she picked him up and put him under the bed, and then covered him with a quilt.He also called the only remaining maidservant by his side and asked her to hide in too.

Mrs. Xue said: "I am dead today, and he will be your own son in the future."

Madam Xue knelt down, kowtowed to her maid a few times, and then walked to the front yard.In any case, to expose the husband and wife, life and death must be accompanied by each other, and I only hope that the son can live well.

Several rebels came over and were very happy to see Mrs. Xue.

One said: "Brother, there is someone, kill or take away?"

Another said: "The superiors are arresting these high-ranking officials and their families. Take them away first. Maybe the King of Heaven will reward one of our officials when he is happy."

Several people talked and laughed and dragged Mrs. Xue out. Mrs. Xue staggered and was dragged to the open space outside. They saw Xue Cong being escorted and kneeling there, his face was blue and purple, and the sword he took out was lying quietly. the other side.

Mrs. Xue exclaimed: "Master!"

The rebels who were escorting Mrs.

The leader asked suspiciously, "Just two people?"

The man said: "It must have been scared away when we heard that our emperor is coming. Who doesn't know the emperor's reputation!"

The leader nodded, waved and said, "Take it away."

People around him asked curiously: "My lord, why didn't you just kill them? What are these corrupt officials doing?"

The little leader was looking for someone to show off his knowledge, when he heard the question, he imitated his boss and said: "What do you know, take a long-term view, although these are corrupt officials, they are still valuable, wait for them It’s never too late to kill if the value of it is drained.”

The people around quickly nodded and flattered, and the little leader was very satisfied with what he said, nodding repeatedly.I thought to myself, this is a talent, and I can be transferred to my side if I have the opportunity.

As prisoners, Xue Cong and Mrs. Xue would not be treated well. Although the rebels did not kill them, they could still suffer a little.Captives have no human rights.

Xue Cong was extremely sad in his heart. In the past, he used to be proud that he was a sage who had read the books of sages, but now he was under guard and couldn't even commit suicide.Xue Cong and his wife supported each other and were at a loss for the future.

When the two were pessimistic and desperate, they suddenly found another group of rebels coming. There were only 3 rebels in this group. Then they snatched Xue Cong and ran away.

Before the rebels could react, they disappeared, and they were dumbfounded.The leader scolded: "Damn it, these bastards have taken the credit to get me, don't let me catch you if I have the ability."

Xue Cong and Mrs. Xue were snatched away. Seeing that they were also rebels, Xue Cong scolded: "Sure enough, they are rebels. How do you know the words of saints, how do you know benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust? You can do this kind of thing to your own people." Come on, it can be seen that you group of rebels will end sooner or later!"

The leader smiled and said: "Master Xue, I am Dong Yuanwei, and I am here to save your family under the order of Princess Anning."

Xue Cong was stunned for a moment, then Dongyuan Wei showed him the sign again, and then Xue Cong believed it.He said excitedly: "The princess asked you to come to rescue me? Where is the emperor? Is the emperor here too? The emperor actually remembered to come to rescue Wei Chen!"

In contrast, Mrs. Xue's focus is different. She begged: "My lord, save my son. I hid him in the mansion. I don't know what's going on now."

After the East Garden guards carefully asked Xue Ren's hiding place, he ordered one East Garden guard to rescue him, and the other two East Garden guards took Xue Cong and his wife back to the hut.

Xue Cong walked all the way, asked all the way, and when he arrived at the hut, he already knew that the emperor's family was martyred except for Princess Anning, and he was very sad.

In the hut, several other rescuers from the East and West Park Guards also arrived and were communicating with each other. Everyone knew that Daping's situation was not optimistic, but they were all Daping's loyal ministers. Even in the face of this situation, they were thinking about how to save Daping. Restoration of Daping.

An Ning listened to their words carefully, and also asked the two garden guards about what they saw and heard outside to improve their understanding of the rebels.In the original memory of his previous life, this group of rebels dominated the world. An Ning wanted to know more about them so that he could have a way to deal with them in the future.

An Ning summarized the behavior of this group of rebels: when they first entered the city, they burned, killed, looted and tortured, and their soldiers were no different from bandits. This was the reason for the initial chaos.

Later, it seemed that someone pointed out that they immediately posted notices to Anmin, killed a few young people, and emphasized that as long as they were obedient citizens with peace of mind, the fields could be divided, and the chaos gradually calmed down.

An Ning knew that she had to get out of the city quickly, otherwise, when the rebels freed up and closed the four doors, everyone would not be able to get out.Just at this time, Li Fengxian waited for the people who had gone to the palace to return, and everyone destroyed the tunnels, cleaned up the traces, and prepared to leave the city.

Wu Feng, the son of Prince Yuanrui, said: "Princess, the turmoil in the city is gradually subsiding. It is very risky for so many of us to go out of the city. Why don't we send some people to create turmoil and others to take the opportunity to leave the city?"

An Ning nodded, "I've already made arrangements."

An Ning took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Fengxian, asking him to send someone to light a fire at the marked place, and immediately retreat as quickly as possible after lighting it.We made an appointment to meet at Wulipo outside the city.

Wulipo is a small hill, relatively low, and if there are so many people in normal times, it will definitely attract attention, but at this time, there is no one outside the city, either killed or fled.

An Ning was a little dazed looking at the empty place. Although it was convenient for him to escape, such a scene also made people feel a lot of emotion.Daping is really gone, even the last inch of land: the capital has been occupied.

In the city, there were explosions everywhere. While solving the explosion, the rebels had to carefully investigate the possible places where the explosion might occur. The city that had been calm for a while became chaotic again.Especially when there was an explosion that happened to be where their emperor was staying.

An official wearing the official uniform of Daping said to the people above him: "Your Majesty, these must be the remnants of Daping. We must send someone to catch them."

The emperor above nodded in agreement.

A group of people were sent out to catch Daping's remnants.

The garden guards immediately retreated after throwing the candles, regardless of whether there was an explosion or not.In the end, three people successfully completed their mission and returned to the meeting place. It is not known whether the other two people were caught or killed.But everyone knows that they are definitely in trouble.

An Ning said: "They died for our safe retreat, write down their names, and when Daping is restored in the future, I will let the whole world know their heroic deeds."

An Ning wants to build a hero temple, although it is still too early to say this, but the promise still has to be promised.
