C4219 (2/2)
The whirlwind of fire at the highest point was actually as high as four or five storeys, and the red flames were even blown into the faces of the garrison's troops, making them cry out in pain!
Although there were not many people in the Outside the city, but there were still about two to three thousand. Seeing that there was no hope for them to save the fire, a portion of the soldiers ran away in all directions. There were even over a thousand people gathered outside the Deisenmun.
Who would dare to open the door! The rule of the night ban is iron, who knows if any of you are a troublemaker!
”Step back... Everyone, step back... Are you all dead set? Run to the north, run to the east … Do you have to head south to the city? ”
”Military lord!” Please be merciful. We young people can escape, but this old man and child really can't! Just open a crack in the Gate, and let the elderly and children hide in the city … ”
”Military lord and marquis for generations... Save them! I beg you, please save me! ”
As expected, a portion of the youths began to flee into the distance. The ones that remained behind, upon closer inspection, were all women, elderly people, and children.
The hearts of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gates immediately softened. Someone whispered, ”Why don't we just open a crack? It shouldn't be a problem to let the child in, right? ”
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the Inner City, the cavalry on horseback shouted out loud, ”Pass down the order … passed down Your Majesty s... The nine gates of Capital are sealed, no one is allowed to open the city! ”
”Any Gate that dares to open it … court killed all of your defending officers and soldiers, not one of them was left alive! You are not allowed to use Gate! ”
When they heard that they had to sit down, and that opening the Gate would mean killing all the officers and soldiers s in the city, no one dared to say a word anymore. They allowed the civilians and soldiers at the bottom of the city to beg and curse, and they were not moved!
Zai Chun's response was extremely correct. Tonight, the Gate could not be used, so after the fire that erupted, the Qing He construction site in the north had already exploded!
The emperor's wedding gave half a day's leave to the servants of the factory in Qinghe, half a catty of wine, half a catty of cooked meat, and enough steamed bread, bread, and rice!
These unlucky factory slaves ate and drank, and only after 8 or 9 am did they gradually quieten down. However, before the big guy even fell asleep, rumors began to spread among the 40,000 factory slaves!
”Sigh... Brothers, don't sleep too deeply … ”Danger …”
”This wine is not a good wine …” ”It might be decapitated liquor...”
”Didn't I already tell you guys …” Westerners's iron factory was pushed by the ghosts, a large number of our people will definitely be killed by the Blood Sacrifice, the iron factory! ”
”So nice to us? Give meat and wine? Don't tell me you're going to use knife s on us in the latter half of the night! ”
”Aiyo...” ”Where did you hear that?”
”Don't care where I heard this from … ”Be alert, someone might come to save us tonight …”
”Do you still remember what I told you before?”
”I remember …” Didn't he say that he had to stop? The outside has cavalry here … ”
”Shut up... Lower your voice! You guys don't need to worry about anything else. Right now, it's all up to Xizhimen. As long as we do anything, the world will be in chaos! ”
Within the black shadow, many people were spreading all kinds of rumors. Some people you knew, but some people were just familiar faces. There were even some people you had never seen before!
However, it was a strange thing. When people were in a state of panic, even if someone they didn't know just randomly threw out a sentence, it would mess up their state of mind!
”Fire!” Look, big guy... Southwest direction … Why is the sky so red? ”
