"We have sentries on duty at night! If there is any disturbance, we will be notified in time." Chen Zhongyuan said quickly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Hong! According to the direction of the fire, it should be in the square in front of the palace in the imperial city. That place is big and there will be no

Causing a fire."

"That's good." Hong Lianshuo breathed a sigh of relief. This fire and water are ruthless. If it really burns up, it will be more terrifying than Hu Bing. There is no place to hide.

"Go and have a rest!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her and urged her.

"Yeah!" Hong Lianshuo returned to the house with his son, who was still sleeping, and jumped onto the beam.

The beams are thick enough that two people can hug each other and lie on it without any problem.

Hong Lianshuo slowly closed his eyes. He couldn't see half of the sky reflected red by the fire, but he could still smell the strange smell of burning.

&*&

In the blink of an eye, it was just dawn, and Hong Lianshuo poured some water for his son and himself. He had finished dividing the steamed cakes yesterday, and now he could only carry them.

Hong Lianshuo was personally invited by Chen Zhongyuan to sit down in the room and said, "Ms. Hong, let's figure out when to leave?"

"Of course I'm going to get ready now. It's getting cooler now." Gao Zhenglu said immediately after hearing this, "We were all ready yesterday."

"No! We have to leave at noon, when the sun is at its strongest." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless eyes and said sharply.

"No! It's so hot that it's hard to breathe?" Gao Zhenglu said reluctantly.

Hong Lianshuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised the corners of his lips and looked at him with dark eyes and said, "What do you think! Do you want me to prepare another carriage for you? Prepare food!" He lowered his voice and reminded, "We are

When fleeing for one's life, of course, we choose the time when Hu soldiers are most relaxed."

"Yes, yes, what Madam Hong said makes sense." Chen Zhongyuan said hurriedly, "We feel hot, and Yi Di and the others are hot too! The guards will be much more relaxed, and our chances of escaping will be greater."

"Ms. Hong, don't be angry, it's our first time. We won't be angry when we gain more experience." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her kindly and said.

Hong Lianshuo looked at him with wide eyes and said, "How many times do you want to experience escape? I don't want to experience it a second time in my life."

"I said the wrong thing, I was wrong." Chen Zhongyuan patted his mouth gently to admit his mistake, shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't want to go through it again, once is enough."

"How is the order arranged?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright black eyes and said.

"The common people and my brothers walk in the front, and we choose those who are skilled to walk behind and push the carts." Chen Zhongyuan said quickly after hearing this.

Hong Lianshuo nodded slightly when he heard this. This arrangement was not bad.

"I'll cut off the rear, I'll be at the back." Hong Lianshuo said with his sharp, dark gaze sweeping across them.

"No, no!" Chen Zhongyuan shook his head like a rattle.

"No?" Hong Lianshuo raised his black eyebrows in confusion and looked at her in surprise.

"I know Madam Hong is very skilled, but you still have a child with you!" Chen Zhongyuan said smartly, looking at the child in her arms.

Is this really a thing? Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo clenched his jaw and looked down at his son nestled in his arms, his big dark eyes filled with worry as he looked straight at his son.

Hong Lianshuo tapped his thigh with his index finger and said, "Then I'll be at the end of the crowd, in front of the carriage, so I can take care of you. It would be best if nothing goes wrong."

"Then this is the arrangement. Do you have any objections?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at Lin Nanzheng and Gao Zhenglu and said, "General Lin, Lieutenant of the High School."

"No." They both shook their heads.

"Then it's decided." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with his big bell-like eyes and said.

"Take off all the things on your body that are iconic and shouldn't be on you." Hong Lianshuo stared sharply at Lin Nanzheng, who was dressed in linen but wearing cloth shoes.

Lin Nanzheng followed her gaze and looked at his feet and said, "What's wrong with my shoes? They're not boots."

"I don't have any shoes." Chen Zhongyuan said, looking at his muddy and messy big feet.

"Most people wear straw sandals." Hong Lianshuo lowered his head and looked at the shoe channels on his feet.

"Straw sandals?" Lin Nanzheng said in disgust, "No, how can I run with straw sandals on?"

Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo rubbed his chin with his index finger and said, "Then your shoes can't be so clean. They don't match the linen clothes you're wearing, and they look awkward."

"Then I'll rub it in the mud." Lin Nanzheng said directly.

Hong Lianshuo looked at him angrily with sharp black eyes and said, "You can't do this, you will be exposed easily. You might as well shave your head like Captain Chen."

Lin Nanzheng turned away with even more disgust, "No!"

Hong Lianshuo snorted coldly, "What time is it? It's important to escape, but you also have to worry about this and that, and figure out the situation."

"Ms. Hong reminded you to put on your shoes and fasten them tightly. Don't let your shoes break down when you're running." Chen Zhongyuan said seriously, "I'll remind the people if there are any other valuable gold ornaments on their bodies."

Hurry and hide."

After being reminded, they touched themselves from head to toe, hid all the gold ornaments on their bodies, and even pulled out the gold threads on their clothes.

As for the shoes, one by one they said: It’s really no longer possible, bare feet, life is at stake, they’re just straw sandals! You can just make one up at random.

I checked myself one by one and found that I was dirty, unkempt, ragged, and my eyes were dull, like a walking zombie.

Braving the scorching sun, these 816 people marched in a long queue across most of the capital for more than an hour without encountering any trouble, and arrived at the gate of the West City at noon.

The hot air blowing against my face was suffocating.

There was no breeze, and the leaves of the big trees on the roadside were curled by the sun.

The sun baked the earth, and the distant scenery was distorted.

But it made Hong Lianshuo more confident. The grassland was used to coolness, and this damn weather just wanted people to stay in a cool place.

Hong Lianshuo observed the west city gate as he walked. The gate was built with bluestone and the wall was high and the city was wide. From visual inspection, it seemed that the wall was about ten meters high.

Because it was a siege and a surrender, the city wall did not suffer major damage.

Without artillery walls, relying only on trebuchets is really not a big threat.

The city gate is open, and you can see the arrows that have not yet fallen on the city gate, testifying to the fierce battle.

The city gate was only guarded by simple horse guards and nothing else, not even simple fortifications and bunkers.

Only the spears can be seen standing on the tall city wall, but the Hu soldiers guarding them cannot be seen.

The weather was too hot, so Hu Bing must have been sitting on the city wall! Hong Lianshuo made a random guess.

Is this big-hearted, or is he so conceited that no one dares to attack him?

Hu Bing sat listlessly in the city gate, shaking a small straw fan in his hand, with sweat pouring down his face.

The clothes on my body were soaked with sweat, as if they were soaked in water.
