Zhong Xu described the haste as sweating, and the twins were also a little dazed. When they saw Mingran, they rushed over, obviously they had been frightened for a while.Ming Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Let Second Uncle go if he wants to. Fortunately, you didn't follow in."

They were not good enough to stay in Yunyusu's military camp, so they found a few abandoned fishing boats in Qingtianyu and moved them there.Yun Yusu was also afraid that Mingran would sneak away to the Ningjiang area to make trouble, so in his busy schedule, he recruited twelve Yunying bodyguards to follow him closely, claiming to protect him, but in fact they were there to supervise him.

In fact, Mingran has already died to go to the Ningjiang area, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Yunjing Mingxiang Army. He only wants to get as much as he can from the people waiting to be beheaded in the city, and he specially ordered the guards to go there. Ah Yan, who saves people, can also be brought along if there are people who are desperate. In addition, try to save women, children and children first, because these people are most likely to be bullied and killed.

Afterwards, he asked Liu Xuan to take the pulse for him. After the pulse diagnosis, Liu Xuan was rather embarrassed: "My lord, although the three kinds of poisons are not harmful to the body, but the poisons are intertwined with each other. If I use golden needles to remove the poison, I want to remove it completely." It's a bit slow, it takes seven or eight times, and each time has to be separated by three days. Moreover, the martial arts and medical skills of my Tianman clan are often overbearing and hurt the body. This detoxification process may be very painful. You can get it Hold on."

Mingran said: "I'm not afraid of pain, it counts as much as I can recover."

So Liu Xuan took out a set of golden needles that he carried with him, and began to perform the technique of detoxifying acupuncture points for him.

The second batch came was Xie Jue, followed by several members of the Xie clan, all of them disgraced and disfigured, some of them were even injured, their bodies were covered with blood.The Xie family belonged to the Queen's family, and they were the first to be killed, so there were not many people left. Xie Jue hurriedly rushed, but only brought out thirty or fifty people.

Xie Jue heard that Mingran was on the boat, so he hurriedly got on the boat and got into the extremely simple cabin, Liu Xuan was just inserting the last gold needle into the acupuncture point on Mingran's shoulder, with one hand, and then flicked the needle tail a few times , Mingran's body trembled slightly.Xie Jue didn't take a close look at what they were doing, but asked in a panic: "Sir, I heard them explain that Xiangjun secretly defected and watched Yunjing fall, can't it be true?"

Hearing the words, Liu Xuan yelled backhandedly: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Jue was caught off guard and did not dare to dodge. He was dumbfounded by the beating, and half of his face turned red.

Ming Ran was a person who didn't feel much pain, but at this moment she was in a cold sweat from the pain, seeing this, she hurriedly said: "Liu Xuan, don't do this."

Liu Xuan said: "Anyone who dares to talk nonsense should be shot to death. Sir, you should concentrate on doing meritorious deeds, he will believe it or not, get out!"

Xie Jue covered half of his face, and was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Who says you don't believe the seat lord? Didn't I just ask casually! They spread it like this in the city, and even when the guards here went to save people, many people would be frightened." I dare not come here. I brought my family here precisely because I trust the seat owner."

Liu Xuan said angrily: "You're still talking nonsense!" Afraid that Mingran would be upset, she pushed Xie Jue off the fishing boat, glared at the Xie clan members from a distance, and put her hands on her hips like a handcrafted hand. In the extremely beautiful jade pot, a slender jade finger like a spring onion almost pokes into Xie Jue's nostrils: "How dare you think that I am a foreign woman who doesn't understand women's morality and lack of family education. Should you go back to Yunjing to guard your big house, and what are you doing when you escaped?"

It turned out that the Xie family didn't take a liking to Liu Xuan who was from a foreign race, and seemed to say something casually.Xie Jue hurriedly said: "Although my family members can't figure it out for a while, I... I didn't say anything..."

Liu Xuan said: "You didn't say it with your mouth, but you said it in your heart."

The two were at a stalemate, when a strange voice behind him interjected: "Oh, little Liuxuan, you are getting better and better, it seems that your seat lord has gotten used to you. Oh, little Xie Jue, you are so afraid of your wife, you will not be able to do it in the days to come. But how do you live?"

Ye Zhiliang poked his head out from behind Liu Xuan, and winked at Xie Jue: "I said you are promising, okay? If you don't gain power now, you will be ruled by this girl for the rest of your life in the future, and you will never be able to turn yourself over."

Before Xie Jue could answer, Wen Renyu, who was not far behind Ye Zhiliang, yelled angrily: "When are you still making trouble here, why don't you hurry up and send the children on board!" Standing beside him was Ming Ru Heming Qinglan was looking this way curiously.

Ye Zhiliang turned around and went to Wen Renyu's side, picked up the twins from left to right, and said with a smile, "Here we come, babes, uncle will take you to fly!" Sure enough, he flew away with the two of them in a gust of wind. .This fellow had a happy smile on his face after being reprimanded, which showed that he was a born scumbag.

Wen Renyu waited under the fishing boat with Ah Ji until Liu Xuan went to pull out the gold needle for Mingran. Mingran got up and tried to walk a few steps after finishing his work. Much stronger than the sore hands and feet of the previous two days.So Wen Renyu came over to plead guilty, with a look of shame and self-blame on his face: "It's all the subordinates who are not good. I can't extricate myself from being wallowing in depression and grief. I will never do this again in the future. The soldiers stationed on the Mingyang ship happen to be subordinates." In the past, the old department, this place was too sparse, please ask the commander to come here with his subordinates."

Mingran waved his hand at him: "I am relieved knowing that you are on the Mingyang account, you take my little uncle and the others to guard the Mingyang account first. I want to go to the gate of the city to have a look first, and Aji Xie Jue will follow along." .”

Wen Renyu led the crowd to Mingyang in Qingtianyu.Mingran rushed to Dongxi Gate with Ajiu and Xie Jue, and the twelve Yunying guards followed closely, performing the duty of supervision at any time.

A Yan has already distributed twenty or thirty copper tokens to the guards of the Yongjiang Marquis Mansion and some of Xie Jue's personal soldiers, specially for leading people into the city and leading the way back and forth.On the contrary, many people followed them in desperation, most of them were clansmen of the six surnames and the family members of many officials, etc., and there were also many people with young daughters who were afraid of being robbed and insulted.

But when everyone saw Mingran at the gate of the city, they couldn't help but hesitated, panicked and panicked.Mingran had to patiently explain over and over again: "I didn't betray the country before the battle, it was just a little accident, I really don't lie to you, hurry up and follow my guards."

It's just that apart from Mingran's relatives among the six surnames, some of the rest believe it, but many don't believe it. If it's not for Mingran's bad reputation in the past, there may be words of scorn and anger.However, even though these people did not go with the guards, they had nowhere to go. They were crowded at the gate of the city in a dilemma, and the situation became more and more chaotic.Mingran calculated that the time was really tight, so he hurriedly ordered Ah Lu to go to the Ming Yang to bring Zhong Xu over, thinking that although the little uncle was a little out of tune, he was always a good person, so he should be able to speak at this time.

Sure enough, Zhong Xu was more convincing than Mingran today, and he tried to persuade everyone in Osaka to follow the guards who led the way.

Mingran gave a wry smile, stretched out his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and sighed: "Now I'm useless, even worse than my uncle. I might as well go back." Turning his head, he saw a man in blue clothes with eyes like eyes. The girl in the painting ran all the way from the city, rushed to the gate of the city in a panic, grabbed a guard and hurriedly asked: "Brother, I heard that you can go out of the city here, and there are people who can come to the safe place." somewhere. Have you seen my family?"

Ming Ran hurriedly interjected, "Which family does the girl belong to?"

The girl turned her head to look at Ming Ran, but as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes widened instantly, full of shock and inexplicable sadness and anger, then she turned around and ran towards the city.Mingran stretched out her hand and touched her cheek in amazement: "I'm ugly? I scared you into such a state." Suddenly, she saw that the girl's left arm was missing a small piece of sleeve, which she thought was accidentally torn in the confusion. On Ru Xuehao's wrists, there are two small dark emerald emerald fishes.

His heart skipped a beat, and he rushed forward a few steps: "Miss Xiao, stay behind! I haven't seen your family come out yet, you can wait here, I'll send someone to look for it."

Xiao Feiyue paused, and waved his back to him: "No, I'll find it myself." Ming Ran followed closely, and then persuaded: "The city is very dangerous, you are alone, how can you set foot in the dangerous place again? I'll go back, and I'll settle you properly."

Xiao Feiyue finally stopped, but without looking back, she said after a while: "My elder brother taught me that honest people don't get what they get, and you have to have a backbone. I won't go with you."

Mingran said: "It was all my fault in the past. If the girl doesn't dislike it, we can remarry."

Mingran has never met Xiao Feiyue, Xiao Feiyue has peeped at him several times through curtains and screens, so she recognizes him.The fiancée has outstanding character and elegant demeanor, and she used to be very happy in secret, but Mingran, who is wearing an old cloth robe today, looks a little downcast. Although the two have nothing to do with each other, the young girl's immature and gentle heart , but as if being hit hard by a heavy hammer, I feel heartbroken.She chuckled, covered her face with her sleeves and said in a low voice: "No need. I know you are in a difficult situation, I won't cause you any trouble, as long as you have the intention." After speaking, she went to the city.

But Mingran refused to give up: "You don't want to listen to the advice, the city is really dangerous, how can you, a girl... Even if I can't give you anything else, can't I give you a chance to survive?"

He followed closely, seeing that he was about to reach the city gate, and the Yunying guards behind him followed suit, reminding: "Young Master Ming, General Yun has an order that you can no longer step into the city of Yunjing."

Mingran had no choice but to stop, and hurriedly called Xie Jue over: "Go and chase that girl back, she is Xiao Feiyue."

So Xie Jue rushed in with several soldiers, Ming Ran stared at the city gate blankly, feeling unspeakable for a moment.

Today's Yunjing City seems to be more chaotic than the previous two days. There are people running for their lives in a panic everywhere. From time to time, there are groups of Cangpei soldiers running past on the street. Going to the side, aroused a burst of people shouting and crying.

In this chaos, Xie Jue lost Xiao Feiyue's trace in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so he hurriedly grabbed an old man hiding in the corner and asked if he saw a girl in green passing by, the old man said : "Brother, are you looking for someone? Where can I find someone in this chaos! Hurry up and find a place to hide, I heard that the palace has been captured!"

Xie Jue was so astonished that he burned everything inside: "Huh? Then my sister and brother-in-law..." He left the old man and chased forward a few steps in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.Suddenly he saw a group of people in front of him helping the old and the young in a state of embarrassment. Seeing that the clothes were of good quality, they should be from officials and eunuchs. He rushed up and asked, "Everyone, stay awhile. I heard that the imperial palace was captured. Is it true or not?"

There are a few sensible people among them: "It's not that they were captured, it is said that the lord ordered the opening of the South Palace Gate, and ordered the empress and prince to bring a large number of court ladies out of the palace, so as to confuse the enemy's eyes and ears so that they could take the opportunity to escape. As a result, the empress and prince were arrested And the rest of the people still haven't escaped. I don't know what's going on now, I only know that the city is about to be closed, so let's go!"

Xie Jue turned pale again: "The lord... he doesn't even want his wife and children?"

Xiao Feiyue didn't know that Xie Jue was chasing him, but she had already run under a nine-story pagoda called Lianzhu Tower, which was originally the most prestigious building in the east city of Yunjing.It turned out that she ran into some girls on the road, and said that the hostess in this building had a nursing home and servants, but she temporarily took in the girls who had nowhere to hide, so she had no choice but to follow.

Sure enough, a purple-clothed woman with a tall cloud bun stood at the head of the building with two maids and a group of servants, calling the women to avoid them, saying that since they are both women, they should help each other in times of crisis.Xiao Feiyue followed a group of people into the building in a daze, the downstairs floors were already crowded with girls who had taken refuge, so she had to go up one floor at a time, and when she reached the seventh floor, there were fewer people, but she saw a body The woman in palace maid costume cowered and hid in the corner, her face was gorgeous and her expression was panicked, but her face was familiar, Xiao Feiyue hesitated, and tentatively called: "Empress Xie?"

The little Empress Xie changed clothes with her first lady-in-waiting before leaving the palace, and the first lady-in-waiting was captured by Cang Peiguo on her behalf.After she left the palace, she happened to come here while dodging in the chaos. Seeing that she was recognized, she stopped covering up: "You are Miss Xiao from the Xiangguo Mansion? You..." She suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "It was your fiancé who turned his back on him first." , that brought us to this point!"

Xiao Feiyue said coldly, "You're talking nonsense, my fiancé didn't betray the country, he went out to save people at Dongxi Gate. But you, everyone said that you are a beauty and a disaster, coaxing the ruler to waste government affairs, I spent a lot of money to have fun with you!"

Empress Xiao Xie was stabbed in the heart, she couldn't help covering her face with her sleeves, choked up and said: "How can I be a beauty? I donated all the dowry in the end. As for what their men are doing outside, I am a deep palace." How can a woman know?"

But I heard someone applauding at the head of the door, a woman's voice said unhurriedly: "Unexpectedly, I caught a big fish today. The queen said well! You really don't know anything, you only know that you are exhausted. Luxurious, feasting and singing and dancing all night, as for the hardships and hardships of the people, how do you know?"

The purple-clothed woman who was guarding the first door downstairs came up at some point, with a gentle smile, "My name is Dong Xiangji, and I am the owner of the Yanhua Academy by the Nishang River. My husband confiscated the house because of the lord of the country." You built a temple to pray for your sister, but she was burnt to death in the end, forcing my family to live in exile. Now all this is just retribution, don’t blame this and that, you two are the real culprits.” She Looking slowly around the building, a group of women knew that the situation was different, and they were too frightened to make a sound.

Dong Xiangji clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Look at all of you are scared. It turns out that the Yunjing woman has a skin, but she has no courage at all. You just wait, the soldiers of Cangpei Kingdom will come here soon after they get the report. I want Sending you out as a great gift to Cang Peiguo, after arriving in Pingjing, whether you will be slaves or prostitutes depends on your luck hahahaha."

Empress Xiao Xie couldn't stop trembling, Xiao Feiyue's face turned pale in an instant, and she forced herself to say, "We won't do it even if we die...do it..."

Dong Xiangji glanced at her, walked slowly to the window facing the long street, looked out, and wrote lightly: "Girls from rich and noble families are so particular about being poor, and they are picky about not doing this or that. If you don’t want to do it, then jump off the building to protect yourself, if you really dare to jump down, I will really admire you.”

Xiao Feiyue stared at her back, as if her eyes were about to burst into flames, she rushed up suddenly, and pushed Dong Xiangji to the window. She had also learned how to embroider her legs with her elder brother Xiao Xuanni, although it was useless, but Slightly stronger than Dong Xiangji.Dong Xiangji was shocked, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing, girl!" While struggling hard, Xiao Feiyue just grabbed her tightly.

Empress Xiao Xie suddenly came to her senses, and rushed up to hold Dong Xiangji down. The rest of the women also came to their senses, and rushed to help one after another. They finally pushed Dong Xiangji out of the window together.Amidst the short screams, Xiao Feiyue said harshly: "If you want to jump, you jump first!"

She gasped for a moment, then boldly looked downstairs, besides Dong Xiangji's body downstairs, a large number of soldiers from the Cangpei Kingdom had indeed come and surrounded the Lianzhu floor, and brought several barrels of kerosene, holding torches and shouting loudly. Shouting: "People upstairs come down immediately, if you don't get down, you will be burned to death!"

Xiao Feiyue took a deep breath and sighed: "Dance, you are the queen, you dance first."

Empress Xiao Xie burst into tears and looked pitiful: "I...I'm afraid it will hurt a lot."

Xiao Feiyue said: "Just for a while, it shouldn't hurt too much. You dance and I will dance with you. I will keep you company."

Empress Xiao Xie let out a miserable laugh, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and jumped down.So Xiao Feiyue turned over and went out and jumped down.Now that there is someone who takes the lead, those behind have the courage to follow the example of the two and fall down the building one after another.

Xie Jue finally inquired all the way to the downstairs and saw a group of female corpses lying in front of Lianzhu Tower. When he found out that his own sister was among them, he felt dark in front of his eyes and almost fell down. Hastily held on.He put his hand on his forehead to calm down for a moment, and when he heard the screams and cries of women in the building, he raised Yun Yusu's personal token in his hand and shouted loudly: "I am ordered by General Yun to take the people in the building out of the city. Also, please make it easier for you!"

The soldiers headed by Cang Peiguo came to inspect the token upon hearing the words, and although they were unwilling, they had to step aside.Xie Jue hastily ordered his soldiers to open the door of the building and led the crowd out. A group of women tremblingly walked around the dozens of corpses underground, and followed the soldiers leading the way to escape far away.

Xie Jue forced a bucket of kerosene from the soldiers of Cangpei Kingdom, and ordered the soldiers to pile up the girls' bodies, poured kerosene on them and set them on fire.He knelt down on one knee and saluted in the raging fire: "Sister, Miss Xiao, I can't take you away, but I can't let your dead bodies be abused again. You can only burn them with fire. You spirits in heaven must not complain I!"
