Chapter 160 The Deserted City Earthquake

"Boom boom boom——"

This time the knock on the door came in the middle of the night, and Yijing and Changming turned over and sat up immediately.

The two of them seemed to have a premonition long ago, and tonight they just hugged each other and slept lightly, and they naturally woke up when they heard the movement.

"Commander! It's not good!"

Qin Zuoxi outside the door yelled like a river valley was on fire, if it wasn't for the fact that Chang Ming was still in the room, he might have to tear down the door panel and drag Yijing off the bed directly.

Fortunately, Yijing was unambiguous, got out of bed and pulled off the coat on the shelf, put it on while going around the screen, and opened the door for Qin Zuoxi.

"What happened?"

"Northwest... A major earthquake occurred in the deserted city of Northwest!"

Yijing seemed to hear the huge sound of the sky collapsing and the earth crashing, and even Qin Zuoxi's subsequent words turned into a cacophony of howling ghosts and howling wolves.

Before his heartbeat calmed down, he turned his head and went behind the screen, and immediately helped Chang Ming who fell to the ground in shock.

"Chang Ming, are you not hurt?"

Chang Ming didn't answer, but gasped heavily, his eyes were flickering, and finally he pushed Yi Jing away and was about to go out.

"Xing Cheng and the others are still in the northwest, what if they fall into the deserted city..."

"Changming!" Yijing stretched out his hand and hugged him back by the waist, "Calm down, even if you go out now, you won't be able to reach the deserted city within three days!"

"Then what can I do!" Chang Ming grabbed Yijing with his backhand, "Once there is a major earthquake, the houses may even collapse and the deserted city will not exist, but I don't even know if they are safe or not."

"Wait a little longer!" Yijing scolded, but Chang Ming was frightened, "This kind of thing must be sent back to Wangcheng in eight hundred miles, and although Sifuluo's messenger is not in time, he is still on his way to Jianhe Valley , after some time, they will be able to tell you about the situation of Xingsheng and his party."

Chang Ming calmed down for a moment, then nodded again with lingering fear, as if he had been foolishly frightened.

Qin Zuoxi outside the door only waited for a while, and his expression of burning eyebrows was already imminent. He didn't care whether to be rude or not, and separated the two when he entered the door.

"Grand Army Commander, don't delay! The gates of the Royal City have been opened in the middle of the night for this matter. The six officials and all the army commanders have been summoned to the palace, and you are also inside!"

Yijing immediately realized that the deserted city was adjacent to Humang, if such a major event happened, the northwest defense line would be destroyed, and the imperial court would send troops even if they didn't want to.

"Wake up all the battalion commanders, pack up your weapons, prepare your horses and food, and prepare to send troops!"

"Yes!"

Qin Zuoxi took the order and hurried out the door.

Yijing was still worried about Chang Ming, and turned his head to comfort him.

"I'm fine..." Chang Ming's breathing seemed to calm down a little, and he said reluctantly, "It's urgent, you go quickly... I will take care of myself."

Yijing stepped forward to hug him, and whispered into his ear, "Pack up your luggage and ask Wen Jilian to send the children to the Marquis of the Commander's Mansion overnight. I'm afraid we will go to the battlefield again."

Chang Ming nodded in his arms, and the two performed their duties accordingly.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wen Ji had already prepared the carriage, and Chang Ming sent Ting Yu to the carriage, and then carried the sleepy little Chunxi to her, but Xingcheng's two children were unwilling to leave.

"Did something happen to father and mother?" Shuya looked out of the courtyard, only to see people coming and going, hurried footsteps, lanterns everywhere, and horses hissing in all directions. I made a joke, exchanging the clear day for a starry night.

Shuze stared at Chang Ming even more, for fear that in the blink of an eye, Chang Ming would try to trick him and his sister.

"It's nothing. Your father and mother are in the northwest. We are just going to meet him now. Go home obediently. Your father should have told you to." Chang Ming's face was extremely plain, but he was out of tune with the people outside the courtyard. .

Shuze said: "Father said that there may be a war, let my sister and I... But I heard that it is the Northwest..."

"Shuze!" Chang Ming interrupted him, looking at the slightly immature faces of the brother and sister, thinking about how Xing Sheng should feel when facing this young and mature child, he said: "Ning Wu is dispatched, the war will start gone."

Shuze and Shuya were speechless.

"Go back home so that your father and mother can fight with peace of mind."

Xiao Tingxue took the Helian siblings out of the inn, and was about to dodge left and right to find a place that would not be hurt by the building, when the vibration suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

The Helian siblings looked around with lingering fear, and found that some tables and benches were overturned to the ground, and no one was injured. It seemed that it was just a false alarm, but the house was indeed shaken a bit.

"I thought it was a big earthquake..." Xiao Tingyu muttered, "But why is there only this little movement in a big earthquake?"

"A big earthquake?" Helian Qingxian didn't know why, "It seems that the old man Miao Jiang said that the big earthquake should be caused by the collapse of the ground, and the collapse of the house. Is this movement a little small?"

"It's really smaller." Xiao Tingxue nodded, watching the crowd around them quarrel and disperse in all directions, so she called her servant from Si Fuluo's family and told him to go and inquire about it.

The people sent out left, and Lu Qiu Eryang and He Suifeng hurried up the street and came straight to the three of them.

"Qingxian! Are you okay!"

"Listen to the snow!"

Xiao Tingxue turned her head away, her brows were all knit together, she was communicating in secret, how could she just yell in the street like this, and really think that the rest of the people are blind?

He was not in the mood to ask why the two of them acted like this, but with a straight face, he took He Suifeng to an inaccessible alley, and yelled in a low voice: "What are you doing here?! Isn't there a messenger? Come here like this I'm afraid that others won't know that we can communicate with each other? If the matter is exposed, it's fine if we all die here, and it will also cause those soldiers to die in vain!"

"I... I'm just worried about you..." He Suifeng was too frightened by him to speak out loud, so he had to stop talking in a guilty conscience, "I don't care about so many things for a while..."

"Worrying about me! I'm fine!" Xiao Tingxue's tone softened, giving He Suifeng a chance to explain.

"But the news just came from the imperial court that there was a massive earthquake in the deserted city in the northwest, causing countless casualties. Hu Mang was next to it, so he was more or less implicated..."

"What are you talking about?! It's impossible! There was an earthquake in the deserted city, why is Hu Zhuang still as stable as Mount Tai, but just overturned? The news must be wrong!"

"I don't know why I am reckless, but the news is indeed correct!"

Xiao Tingxue almost jumped up, immediately pushed He Suifeng away, and went to look for Helian and Luqiu Eryang.

Fortunately, the three of them were stopped by him before they could take a few steps.

"Don't leave!"

"What?" He Lianxian looked at Xiao Tingxue in disbelief, "Xing Sheng and Chen Ying returned to the deserted city yesterday, if there was a major earthquake in the deserted city, wouldn't they have escaped death?"

"Even if we are close to death, we can't save it! We came here for the war, such a natural disaster, the two countries will definitely do something, if everything is not settled at this time, Hu Mang is very likely to take the opportunity to send troops, and he is completely unprepared , wouldn't you be caught off guard?"

"But..." Although Lu Qiu Eryang was unwilling to refute, he could only turn his head and said to the Helian sisters and brothers: "He is right, the most urgent thing is to prevent the reckless from sending troops, not to save Three people back."

For the sake of thousands of troops, Xing Sheng can naturally be sacrificed.

Xiao Tingxue settled down, and began to order the other people to deploy.

"Mr. Luqiu go to Wei Li immediately. She is addicted to drugs now. You should hold her down and make her dissuade the reckless emperor in the court."

"Xianqing went to the place where we kept the sheep, killed all the sheep and buried them, leaving only four, so as not to be recklessly conscripted as army rations."

"Qingxian went to the place where the mountains were excavated to pick jade, and used the earthquake as an excuse to order the stewards to gradually reduce their rations. Those people came to work for us because they had no flocks, and they would not leave us."

"I will find other officials who have been bought by us to help us suppress these workers in time."

At this point, the four of them dispersed to prepare for related matters.

Xiao Tingxue looked back at He Suifeng, remembered that she hadn't given him a good face just now, and softly told him: "You should go back quickly, don't be found out."

"You should also be careful, most reckless officials have a violent temper..."

"understood."

Ting Xue left a simple perfunctory sentence, and ran towards the Humang Palace without looking back.

"Chenying? Yiqing?"

Xing Cheng moved his ankle, stood up cautiously, and looked for the figures of the two in the darkness.

It's just that this place is too dark, even if he has excellent eyesight, he can barely distinguish between people and rocks, and the rest can only hope that they will promise him.

"Ouch... someone help me..."

"And I……"

"What kind of place is this!"

"Ah! My feet!"

There were a group of people, old and young, crying unceasingly, Xing Cheng casually helped up the few people around him, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

The earthquake happened suddenly. At that time, he, Chen Ying and Gu Liang Yiqing were preparing to transport the wealth and food to Huang Mang, when they suddenly realized that their feet were empty, and before they had time to shout, they fell straight to the ground, and there was a roar in their ears.

The place was dark and there was no light, but the sound of the wind could be heard faintly, it seemed that after the earthquake, he and these people were thrown to the ground.

"Chenying? Yiqing?"

He walked for a while, and casually helped some people remove the huge objects on their bodies, and simply stopped the bleeding.

"Xingsheng? Is it Xingsheng?"

"Chen Ying?" Xing Sheng immediately turned from worry to joy, and stumbled towards the direction of the sound, finally met Chen Ying, and asked before he even stood still, "Are you hurt?"

"It's just a skin injury, it's okay. What about you?"

"I hurt my right hand, it doesn't matter." Xing Cheng finally felt relieved, but suddenly he thought of another person: "You can see Yiqing?"

A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Junqing finished recounting the past, so you think of me as a child?"

Xing Cheng chuckled, but didn't answer, instead he led the two of them, and then called the rest of the people who fell together, saying that he was going to go outside.

"Do you know where the exit is?" Someone asked Xing Sheng.

"When the wind blows, there will naturally be a way out."

A group of headless flies couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north. Hearing what Xing Cheng said seemed to make sense, in order to survive, he just followed Xing Cheng, but the ground was dark, and bumps and bumps were inevitable.

Fortunately, Xing Sheng's eyesight was amazing, and after a long time, everyone got used to the darkness, so they avoided many disasters.

Note: The deserted city was shaken, but the reckless just swayed, this is a foreshadowing.
