When the night befalls, the night be at its deepest, and torches are scattered in the thick darkness in the distance outside the city, illuminating the figures of people and horses jostling together, figures running and figures fighting.
The fighting gathered in the firelight, with more than a dozen armors shining, spears and swords making harsh sounds, mixed with curses and shouts, and screams. You can see the agile figure jumping inside. Under the firelight, the man is tall and slender, with two hands in his hands. The knife whirled.
As the sword light whirled, the surrounding soldiers continued to fall.
"He is really a person."
"He's not wearing armor."
The guards standing on the city wall looked at it and commented in surprise. At the same time, there were cries from under the city gate, and those who had fled from the fighting came here.
"Help, open the city gate."
"Please."
There were men and women, old and young, and the cries were chaotic, but there were also calm voices amidst the chaos.
"Don't cry, don't forget the righteous man's advice."
"Yes, yes, people in the city, please listen to us."
"There is no large number of rebels, only a dozen or so rebels."
"Please let us go into the city and hide for a while."
Hearing these words, the expressions of the guards on the city wall moved slightly. The general who had been standing at the highest point looked further away. In the distance, the night was thick and the sky and the earth merged into one, and indeed no movement could be seen.
At the same time, the sound of fighting became smaller and smaller, the firelight scattered on the ground became darker and darker after being trampled, and the cold light of the armor gradually disappeared.
The general on the city wall raised his hand and waved: "Open the city gate."
The fire illuminated the city gate, and soldiers and horses galloped out. One team rushed to the place of fighting, and the other team surrounded the wailing people in front of the city gate.
The darkness dissipated, the sky became brighter, the fighting outside the city had subsided, and the people in the city who were awakened and anxious gradually came over to ask what happened.
Many people have gathered on the street in front of the city gate. The buzz on the inside and outside of the three floors conveys the news that has been clearly understood to the new arrivals.
"They are a group of refugees who met rebels on the road."
This kind of thing is very common. Many cities and villages have been plundered by rebels. People have lost their hometowns and have to find new places to survive. It is even more inevitable to encounter dangers on the road.
The rebels would capture young men and women as civilian husbands, rape young men and women, drive old and young like livestock to be used as human shields to fill the trenches of the city, or torture and kill the civilians who threatened and intimidated the city's defenders.
¡°In short, I narrowly escaped death when encountering the rebels.
But now there are still a large group of refugees. The onlookers stand on tiptoe and look inside. There are men and women of all ages. They describe themselves as embarrassed but they are not seriously injured.
Especially since they came from far away, everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°We are so lucky that so many people can come to us alive.¡±
In today¡¯s world, we can only enjoy happiness amid hardships and be grateful for the blessings amid misfortunes.
Those lucky refugees suddenly cried out, even more distressed than before when they asked for help in front of the city gate.
What happened? The onlookers once again rushed to take a look, and saw the scattered refugees gathered in one direction, where soldiers gathered. The soldiers stepped aside, and a doctor carrying a medicine box came out and shook his head at everyone.
¡°It¡¯s not going to work, the injury is too serious and there¡¯s no way to save it,¡± he said.
When the doctor came out, the people on the other side parted ways, and the onlookers saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood, which was very scary.
"A righteous man!"
The refugees cried and surrounded the area again, blocking everyone's view. As the doctor came out, the news spread. It turned out that this was the righteous man who killed more than a dozen rebels by one person last night, and he was also escorting him. The refugees fled all the way here, but in the end, one person fighting a dozen people was too seriously injured and they were about to die.
What a pity, the people sighed and rushed to stand on tiptoe to see the righteous man clearly. The soldiers standing close could not only see the righteous man clearly, but also saw with their own eyes the brutality of the previous fight. At this time, watching the hero dying, His expression became even more sad.
The face of the righteous man lying on the ground was very calm, with a smile on his face.
"Righteous soldier, what else do you have to explain?" cried an old refugee kneeling in front of him, "At least let us know your name and where your home is."
"I am a knight-errant, and I am at home all over the world. I have no worries and no obligations." The righteous man said. He paused again and raised the hand on his side with difficulty, as if he was looking for something on his waist. "If I may, there is only one thing"
The old man hurriedly held his hand to help. The knight's hand fell on his waist and took out a beautiful jade pendant.
"I was once appreciated by Mrs. Wu of Dou County. She praised me for my skills and gave her a beautiful jade. However, Mrs. Wu had many good soldiers and horses, and I was not skilled in my skills and did not contribute to them." You Xiaer raised his hand in front of his eyes. His eyes were blurred and he couldn't see the beautiful jade clearly, but a smile still appeared on his face.
"If you are lucky enough to meet Mrs. Wu, please tell her that I only have one skill and cannot bring peace to the troubled times, nor can I achieve great achievements. But I, Qi Xieyang, died in a battle. I died in a place worthy of my life and beauty."
He put the beautiful jade into the old man's hand and smiled again.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't see it. You can sell this to get a ration of food to survive."
The old man held the beautiful jade and trembled: "How dare you" Before he could finish his words, the ranger's hand came down and fell heavily to the ground, splashing dust, and he was already dead.
Before he finished speaking, the ranger did not hear the promise before he died. The old man burst into tears with great sadness.
The surrounding refugees, men, women, old and young, all leaned over and cried. The onlookers stopped talking and became quiet, with expressions of sadness.
The servants of the Xiang family who were standing in the crowd sighed when they saw this. Sadness is sadness. They have to continue to live after sadness. What can they do? They looked away and squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the inn. They continued to rest after not sleeping well all night. After a day and a night, they had enough energy to continue the long journey. At dawn, they came to the city gate and waited for it to open and leave. There was already a group of people waiting in front of the city gate.
It is very dangerous to go out now. Unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone hides in the city. It is rare for so many people to go out of the city. After seeing these people clearly, everyone was even more surprised.
This is part of the group of refugees who escaped earlier under the protection of the rangers.
This city has already taken them in. They have experienced danger and know how valuable the protection of the city is. Why are they in such a hurry to leave so early?
"You are going to Guangzhou Prefecture?" The guard at the city gate was also surprised, "Are you crazy? It's so far!"
The old man headed by the refugees had a calm and firm look on his face. There was still sadness in his eyes but he was not crazy: "The righteous man said that he would protect us to Guangzhou Mansion. He said that where Mrs. Wu is, we will have a good life there."
The gate guards also knew about the deeds of Mrs. Wu of Guangzhou Prefecture. They also heard that Guangzhou Prefecture led troops to resist the rebels and protected half of Huainan Road. Ande Zhongdu retreated and abandoned Huainan Road and turned to attack the southeast. Guangzhou Prefecture It should be very safe, and you won't be worried when you get there, but
"It's still a long way from here to Guangzhou Prefecture." The guard smiled bitterly, "There will be dangers along the way."
In order to go to the legendary place where you can live a good life, it is not worth losing your life halfway, especially now that you can have a stable place to live.
After hearing this, the refugees still insisted on going to Guangzhou Mansion. The old man pressed his hands tightly in front of him. The guards took a breath and knew that what the old man was holding was the jade left by the dead ranger.
That ranger preached Guangzhou Prefecture to them. Now that the ranger is dead, these refugees still insist on going to Guangzhou Prefecture. Is it because of obsession or to repay the ranger?
No matter what the reason was, it was all impulsive. The guard suggested that they calm down, knowing that they were moved by the knight's loyalty and would inevitably rush to the front with blood. After calming down, they would realize that this was not necessary.
"It's just a matter of death." The old man thanked the guard and smiled, "Let's live towards death, which can be regarded as a head start."
When the guards saw that they did not listen to the advice, they stopped trying. It was troublesome for them to have the refugees stay here. The city could not support so many people.
The city gate opened, and the homeless people walked out with their young and old in their arms. The fear of the aftermath of the disaster had not dissipated, and there was determination in their eyes.
The followers of the Xiang family looked at each other, not knowing how to evaluate it. Any normal person would choose to stay here. The ranger saved their lives. Isn't it repayment for them to live well? He actually wanted to trek to Guangzhou Prefecture.
It¡¯s pitiful and deplorable.
Everyone has his own destiny. The destiny of these refugees is to go to Guangzhou Mansion to complete the unfulfilled goal of the knight-errant, and they want to deliver the letter to the young master. This is related to the future of the Xiang family, so they are not afraid of it. Not afraid of life and death, the Xiang family's followers packed their bags tightly and left the city on horseback.
The morning light spreads from the high sky and covers the earth. Looking down at the people running on the ground, they look like ants.
