Chapter 73 Burning the Gold Tower (2)

The fire is raging!

Nearly two hundred years, more than ten generations of emperors and millions of people have spent countless years, countless gold, silver, money and grain, and countless energy, financial and material resources to build Luoyang Palace burned in the fire; Deyang Palace, Chongde Hall, Jiade Hall, Zhangde Hall, Xuanming Palace, Ganquan Palace, Ganlu Palace, Changqiu Palace burned in the fire; palaces, pavilions, pavilions, Xuanbao Pavilion, rainbow bridges, and corridors burned in the fire; rare treasures, silk, silk, satin, antique ceramics, green wood, bamboo, and strange flowers and grass burned in the fire...

The fire is raging!

In the fire, teams of concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids hugged their bodies and stumbled westwards, crying and wailing; in the fire, rows of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts filled with gold pearls and silk, and rare treasures were winding forward; in the fire, the shining swords, guns, swords and halberds of soldiers and generals of Xiliang, and their ferocious and crazy faces; in the fire, countless eunuchs who refused to move westwards fell to the ground, and their heads fell to the ground, and their corpse was buried by the road; in the fire, several figures who escaped from expelling were covered in flames, slumped and crawled, and howled scattered...

The fire is raging!

Suddenly, a well in Ganquan Palace Garden made a thumping sound. A short, vulgar man in black who was climbing on the well wall could not stand the burning and dryness in the air, and jumped into the water with a "thump".

As soon as he entered the water, he trembled and shouted, "My mother. The top is too hot, and the grandfather will be roasted to death; the bottom is too cold, and the grandfather will be frozen to death..."

This storm of fire is a signal.

Li Jie showed a fierce look on his face and said with a crazy laugh: "My sons, go and get rich!" He took the lead and drove out of the military camp like a hungry tiger out of the cage and headed east to the city.

"Oh oh oh...haha..." The soldiers of Xiliang behind them were also laughing wildly, waving swords and guns, roaring and swarming.

Led by Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, hundreds of thousands of Western Liang cavalry were divided from east to west, from east to west, spreading dense nets, breaking into every street and every household, driving the people of Luoyang City to Chang'an.

If you see that the family is rich or have a little bit of property, you will not care about your background and capture the whole family in the name of "anti-official and rebellious party", regardless of your own, kill all the family, regardless of gender, age, and behead them, collect and rob the family property, and use them as military funds, or as private pockets.

Seeing that someone's wife and daughter were beautiful, the soldiers of Xiliang even indulged in military discipline and robbed them. However, if anyone dared not resist, they would penetrate the body with sharp blades and beheaded them all, naked and throw away the body.

Sin, greed, lust, and the cruelty of human nature are exposed so nakedly in this most prosperous and civilized capital of the Han Dynasty...

...

"Hurry, hurry... don't squeeze... don't squeeze... go down the tunnel..." Yan Qing yelled anxiously in the small hotel in the east of the city, his throat was already hoarse.

"Let's go... don't hurry... go..." Mrs. Gu was also commanding loudly with sweat on her head. In the early spring of February, there were so many sweat stains, which was also because of the busyness and crowding. While she was commanding, she looked at Yan Qing from time to time with guilt.

It's also my fault.

Originally for safety reasons, Yan Qing sealed the old house next to the kitchen to the tunnel outside the city, and led the remaining soldiers of the special agent camp to hide in the large cave, waiting for the Xiliang soldiers to leave Chang'an before coming to save the city. Only Mrs. Gu and a few young men were left to wait in the door, waiting for the scholars and officials Wang Yun mentioned, and waiting for Liangshan who had not returned overnight to explore the four generals of the Singing Camp.

But how could Mrs. Gu be the most kind-hearted?

When the Xiliang army and horses were marching in the net to drive them away, countless people dragged their children, carried their bags, and carried their luggage, and passed by the hotel door with their slap. They were crowded and stepped on people, fearing that they would not be in a hurry to leave, and were caught by the iron cavalry behind them and put on their swords and axes.

Mrs. Gu really couldn't bear it. She secretly opened the hotel door and shouted to several neighbors who were eager to help and flee, "This, this... hurry up, come here..."

The neighbors shouted: "Go away quickly, the Xiliang soldiers will come soon. If you don't leave, it will be miserable."

Mrs. Gu shouted in a hurry: "Come in, come in...you will know when you come in."

The neighbors came into the hotel in panic.

Mrs. Gu said, "Follow me, don't go to Chang'an..." She brought her neighbors into the old house next to the kitchen, and worked together to move away the heavy stone mill and huge stone mattresses, revealing the tunnel, and sending them down.

Seeing that the authenticity had already opened, Mrs. Gu thought about it and taking advantage of the future of the Xiliang army, it would be better to send a few more to save the people of Luoyang and be merciful to Brother Song Jiang.

She returned to the hotel door and secretly called a few people who were eager to leave, but who knew that the people were all following herds. The people who were walking on the road saw someone entering the hotel and not coming out again, and followed in without caring about it. They saw that there was a tunnel, but they could still care about other things, and they were crowded with people. So there was more and more people, which filled the entire hotel, and they were still crazily squeezed in outside.

Mrs. Gu didn't expect this to be the case. Her face turned pale and she was frightened: "No, no, no, no, no one can save anyone like this... When the Xiliang soldiers arrived, everyone would die, and the tunnel was exposed..."

Yan Qing heard the noise outside in the cave, and didn't know what happened, so he climbed out. He was shocked when he saw such a crowded and noisy crowd; he saw Mrs. Gu's anxious expression without thinking, and he knew why.

He went down the cave and said softly: "Brothers from the special agent camp, go up, maybe they have to fight with the soldiers of the Xiliang army... I order: First, maintain order and send the people into the cave; second, guard the door, monitor the enemy's situation, and kill all those who may leak the secret."

"Yes!" The soldiers of the special agent camp responded in unison, climbing up the hole in turn with their weapons.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze... one by one, in an orderly manner..."

"Uncle, the package is too big, just put half of it down... the hole is too small"

"Baby, be brave, climb by yourself..."

Yan Qing and the soldiers of the special agent camp worked hard to maintain order and escorted one Luoyang people after another into the tunnel.

Ten...

Twenty...

Thirty...

One hundred...

"The soldiers in Xiliang are here..." The soldiers in charge of surveillance at the hotel door shouted anxiously.

In an instant, countless people who were blocked at the hotel were crying and scattered around and fled to the west. In a panic, debris, packages, and shoes were abandoned all over the ground; in a panic, countless people of old and young were trampled on the ground, either dead or injured, and screams were shaking.

In an instant, the people in the hotel were crowded together, and everyone was crying and squeezing towards the tunnel, but only no one could enter the tunnel.

Yan Qing shouted in his hoarse throat: "Secret camp, all at the door, ready to fight!"

"You, don't squeeze, go in order... Follow Mrs. Gu's arrangement..."

It's so crowded that it's hard to get into the tunnel.

"Okay... Isn't it enough for us to die? You must all die by yourself..." Yan Qing shouted.

In an instant, people became quiet and they looked at Yan Qing quietly.

"Don't let us die in vain!" Yan Qing said slowly.

He turned and walked towards the door.

"Don't let us die in vain!"

The soldiers of the special agent camp turned around and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Gu cried, and she cried and shouted: "Go, go quickly, go in order..."

Under the leadership of Yan Qing, dozens of soldiers from the special agent camp leaned against the hotel gate, silently holding swords and guns, silently. Hundreds of old, young, men and women in Luoyang, under the command of Mrs. Gu and Sun Xin, also entered the tunnel in a silent and orderly manner.

At the door, a team of Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed over, with about twenty people. The team leader was full of flesh on his face, and raised a bronze sword with a grim smile, and cut off one of the people's heads injured after being trampled on the ground, shouting loudly: "Why don't you leave, kill!"

"Ah!..." As the sound of swords and guns entering the body, countless screams sounded. This team of Western Liang cavalry rode their horses in scattered and killed the people who were running around, with broken limbs and broken arms, flesh and blood flying everywhere, corpses all over the street, and heads rolling around. Only the people who fled west on this street were killed, and only the people who had no living on this street.

"Okay, pack up the packages on the ground and see how many there are!" the team was stopping the horse and shouted, "Everyone have a rest."

There were too many packages on the ground. The soldiers of Xiliang were looking for generals all the way, only picking up valuable gold, pearls and jade treasures into their bags. Even the copper coins were slightly heavier, and they were thrown aside, let alone silk bottles, cans and other things. Even so, the soldiers were already full of packages, and the horses were full of weights.

"Damn it, today is worth it... I'm afraid I can't enjoy it for the rest of my life." A soldier in Xiliang sat on the ground, half leaning against the corner of the wall. His right hand held the horizontal knife on the ground, which was covered with blood and fell into the soil drop by drop.

The team was grinning and shouting, "Don't forget, give half of it to the Prime Minister, and 10% to me. Do you know?"

"I know, I know... we all know the rules. Head, this is enough... Damn, when I return to Xiliang, I will be enough to ask for ten or eight wives. Hahaha." The soldiers of Xiliang laughed unrestrainedly, laughed beside the dripping blood, and laughed beside countless corpses that were killed by them.

"What sound?" Suddenly, a soldier jumped up.

"What?" All the soldiers of Xiliang jumped up and looked over with the soldier's gaze.

There is a dilapidated hotel less than ten steps away from them, covering a wide area, and the door is closed, and the big red flag of the word "wine" on the door is still swaying in the wind, as if crying and provoking.

"Go and have a look!" the team shouted.

A soldier in Xiliang held a spear in his hands, kicked open the hotel door and rushed in.

There was no sound.

But it didn't come out for a long time.

"Damn, what are you doing?" the team shouted again.

"Let's go, search me in, and someone will come out." He kicked a soldier in the butt and drove the soldiers in.

The soldiers of Xiliang rushed into the hotel with their swords and guns.

Before I could take a closer look, the hotel gate closed gently with a "squeak".

A steel knife pierced into the body of a Xiliang soldier, and a blood spurt surged into the sky.

"Kill!" Yan Qing yelled with his broken and hoarse throat.

"kill!"
