(1/2)
My throat was choked and I could hardly speak. I could only grit my teeth and prevent myself from falling down.
The cold wind kept blowing in from outside the open door, making my bones tremble. I whispered: "What are you going to do?"
His hand slowly lowered, and then said, "Although the weather is not good, a lot of ice on the river has melted."
“…”
"You are right, those ferry crossings should be guarded."
I closed my mouth and didn't say anything.
At this time, the entire Yuwen Mansion, or the entire Tianjin, was completely in chaos.
The troops in the city quickly gathered to fight to the death with the rebels outside the city. This matter soon spread in the city. It was already dark, but everyone lit up the lights at home. In addition, these soldiers held torches in their hands, which reflected the entire Tianjin into a city that never sleeps.
However, the mood is different from the army.
The people here were also angry, but their angry spearhead was pointed at Pei Yuanxiu.
So, I heard Qiu'er and the others say that outside Yuwen Mansion, some ordinary people gathered, but they had not caused any trouble yet, but these people's emotions were already very unstable, and even with some anger.
In other words, at this time, he can't do it without leaving.
However, this is not the most critical thing.
What makes people even more panic is that when it was almost midnight, a news suddenly came from outside that the team coming from the capital was about to arrive, only about ten miles away from Tianjin City.
When I heard this news, I couldn't believe my ears.
They are so fast?!
Pei Yuanxiu destroyed the road in the middle to block their progress, but unexpectedly, Pei Yuanhao sent additional personnel to repair the road in such a short time.
However, I think that the earliest group of people who arrived should be cavalry and infantry, and their Flanger cannons would not be transported so quickly.
Therefore, it is not so easy to attack and enter the city.
This night was destined to be a boiling night that made people unable to sleep.
I sat in the fragments scattered all over the floor of the screen, listening to the busy footsteps coming and going outside, it was the palace maids and eunuchs who repacked the things that had moved to Yuwen's mansion not long ago.
They are actually confused and don’t know where their future is, but their lives, compared to those in power, are like ants. Over time, they themselves feel like ants.
Come numbly, go numbly.
I sat for a while and felt that I could not continue to do this, so I got up and groped to put on my clothes.
Although it is spring, it is still very cold outside at night.
Just as I had my little boots on my legs, Qiu'er and the others ran in from outside. I immediately put down my clothes and blocked my calves. When they saw that I was dressed neatly, they hurriedly walked up to me and said, "Miss Yan, it's time for us to go out. The carriage is waiting at the door."
"oh."
I nodded, reached out and asked them to support me, and walked carefully through the large fragments on the ground. Listening to those sounds, it was like shattering a galaxy.
These stars were originally the fate of these people.
It also affects the fate of the people in the world.
And now, there are some destinies, and it's time to finish it.

When I walked out of Yuwen Mansion, there was indeed a large group of carriages waiting outside the door. My ears were filled with noisy sounds. In addition to the sound of the wind, the neighing of the horses, and the uneasy sounds of horses walking on the ground, there were many people talking and making noise.
At this moment, it seemed that the whole world had fallen into the prehistoric world.
That kind of panic is something that has never been before.
Pei Yuanxiu helped me get onto the carriage, and I also heard a cry from the crowd. It was probably Han Zitong who came out with the little prince and got onto the carriage on the other side.
However, after a little attention, I found that there was no voice from Gardi in the crowd.
Of course, this is not a surprise.
Pei Yuanxiu had known that their brother and sister were attacking me when they were in the capital. Since he had even killed Evil Houqi, Gardi naturally could not escape.
In fact, she didn't need to stay.
He would marry her at the beginning, probably just to win over the power of Shengjing. Now, Shengjing's troops are all the Iron Cavalry King and the Iron Face King, and they are also indirectly obtained by Pei Yuanhao. His move has been considered a failure.
I only looked at the noisy crowd in panic.
Originally, I wanted to find another person's movement, but I didn't find any sound. I don't know if he wasn't here at all, or the sounds around him were too noisy, which overwhelmed his voice.
Finally, he was helped into the carriage.
My legs were a little weak, probably because I had been able to rest until midnight and had not been able to rest, so I was exhausted. Pei Yuanxiu held me with one hand, asked me to sit down slowly, and then said to the outside: "Go!"
Immediately, the coachman outside shook his whip and drove the carriage forward.
The horse ran very fast.
I could feel the unspeakable anxiety in everyone's heart. Of course, the groom understood better. If he set out in the middle of the night, what else could it be if he didn't escape.
The carriage ran very fast and the carriage was shocking. I was sitting aside, but the back of my head was bumped so hard that the back of my head kept colliding with the carriage.
At this time, a hand reached out and put it behind my head.
He probably washed his hands, but he was so contaminated with the smell of blood that at this time, there was still a faint smell of blood coming into my nose.
I said softly, "Where are we going?"
"Da Shentang Pier."
"Great God Hall..."
I frowned slightly.
Although I have been in the capital for a long time and have been through many things to guard against, I am really not familiar with this place in Tianjin, and I have only vaguely heard the name of this wharf.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I heard that it is an ancient fishing village, but it is a must-pass way to enter the Bohai Sea.
“…”
I thought quietly for a while and said, "Are the ship ready?"
He gently stroked the back of my head with one hand and said calmly: "I had already prepared Ao Zhi there two days ago."
I nodded gently.
The carriage broke through the silence of the night and continued to speed forward, but as I advanced so rapidly, I heard a loud noise coming from behind.
It's earth-shaking and deafening!
The sound was as if the earth was shaking, and Pei Yuanxiu's breathing also sank.
Immediately afterwards, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and they chased after us from behind and walked side by side with our carriage.
The man riding a horse shouted beside him: "Master!"
Pei Yuanxiu probably felt something, but he didn't lift the curtain, but just asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
"The city gate is open."
“…”
In the small space of the carriage, the already tight atmosphere became more depressing at this time.
He said, "Did those people rush out to fight against the rebels?"
"No," the people outside also had a little anxiety in their words, and said, "It's not the south city gate, it's the north city gate!"
“…!”
At this moment, my heart suddenly jumped.
North City Gate?
That is, Pei Yuanhao's men have already entered the city!
Pei Yuanxiu's breathing became obviously rapid.
He could not have known that Pei Yuanhao's troops were at the city, especially that Pei Yuanhao also led Shengjing's troops all the way south just to chase him. However, since he knew, it was impossible for him to not deploy heavy troops at the North City Gate.
How could he be captured today?
Pei Yuanxiu's breath sank for a moment, and then said, "How could it be so fast?"
The man outside looked a little hoarse, as if he was greatly frightened, and said hoarsely: "It's inside the city, someone has opened the city gate."
"who?"
"Song Xuan!"
The hand that had been stroking the back of my head slightly exerted force.
I felt his whole body stiffen for a moment, and the people outside were still riding horses and walking in parallel with our carriage, but after a long time, I didn't get any sound from him, so I felt a little panicked: "Your Majesty..."
Pei Yuanxiu took a deep breath: "I understand."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Send the order and continue to move forward at full speed."
