The wind suddenly picked up, and the desperate and cold howl seemed to tell all the desolations in the city. The sky was a dim yellow, and the last ray of sunshine turned the clouds in the west into a romantic golden red.

The clouds had cleared an hour ago, and the sun was ready to take one last look at the folly happening on the earth.

Like someone who is listening to a ghost story, he plugs his ears when he hears something scary, but is reluctant to give up the rest, so he can only half-cover it.

Waiting for the end of the story.

The King's City that day was a complete disaster. The Atonement Army in sheep's clothing tore off their veil and vented their ferocity and ruthlessness on the residents of the city.

The first to receive attention were the Guard soldiers who had just laid down their weapons. In the past, no one could stop them. They could enter any corner without restraint. This time, they were held on the ground to take on the wrath of others.

No one could restrain the Atonement Army. They showed their ruthless side and used cruelty and barbarity to treat the residents of the city who had not evacuated.

Burning, killing, looting, committing all kinds of evil, it was a grand banquet to release stress.

The mansions of noble families were broken open one by one, armed pirates and death row criminals barged in, and financial jewelry was looted. Women in their prime were on the same level as gold and silver jewelry.

They were lying on the soft bed, with open bottles of wine in their hands, admiring the city's flames soaring into the sky.

The Atonement Army robbed food, money, and people, and burned the places where there was no harvest. Under the permeating flames, there were sad things happening in the world.

People tried to look up at the stars under the gloomy sky, grieved in the fierce firelight, held their breath in the dark room, and shivered in the closed hiding place.

There were almost desperate cries everywhere, and the city finally turned into a mediocre ruin without the emperor.

The soldiers of the Atonement Army vented their emotions and spilled all the unfair treatment they suffered in their own country on a foreign land.

They even blocked the city gates and prohibited anyone from leaving.

They also opened the prison door, and the prisoners inside were willing to point out the direction to their benefactors. In this direction were countless money and women.

Near a street approaching the city gate, Becky quietly looked at the black walls and roofs, which were traces of years of smoke and fire.

During the long wait, his mother stopped crying and the old lady stopped complaining. The baby cried so hungry that he finally fell asleep.

Mr. Fei tried his best to stop the loss of his luggage, but was hit in the head and is still awake.

He is not young yet, and he has worked very hard in the Bei family. At this age, he almost lost his life.

The family had nothing to say. Becky thought about dragging Mr. Fei back, but no one was willing to help her. It was impossible for one person to do this.

As a result, she could only stare at the wall in trance.

Not far from the broken-down carriage, here is an abandoned house in an alley near the main street. The original residents of the house took away everything they could, leaving only the overly heavy furniture and four walls.

Of course, there is not much furniture here, and it can be said that it is really pitiful.

There was a faint strange smell in the blackened place, which Becky's mother couldn't bear. She spread her clothes near the window to barely be able to sit down. The doors and windows here were also broken. Looking at the whole room,

The house looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Becky was thirsty, so she used her own strength to drag Mr. Fee in. Her mother said it was incredible but let her go. Becky thought this was an ancient and decayed etiquette.

The sun finally set, and in the quietness I could hear the voices of people in some places. The dog that Becky raised was lying on its back, and the cat had disappeared.

I don’t know what this city is going through. The sky above the city is extremely bright, with burning flames fighting against the dark night sky.

From time to time, faint gunshots would reach Becky's ears through the silence, and she would also hear someone laughing in the distance.

Some residents who stayed nearby ran to the north, others hid in their houses and watched what happened, and some went to the place where the flames were burning.

When Becky came back to her senses, time passed again. She slowly stood up and dusted herself off, deciding not to sit still and wait for death. There was an acquaintance nearby, the Grand Duke of Qingwei.

It takes half an hour to reach the old lady's mansion. You have to go west and then a little south.

After making the decision, Becky said to her mother: "Wait for me here while I go find some food and water."

"No, no, no! It's too dangerous. You can't go anywhere. Someone will come to help us."

"Who will help us?" Becky asked her mother, "Mr. Yu Lian or Prince Fa Yao? Mom, you don't have many friends in the royal capital anymore."

"There will always be someone. Who can you, a little girl, go to? It's too dangerous outside, so we can stay here."

"Then just wait here, I have to go out anyway."

"How can you talk to me like this? There are no rules at all!"

Becky's mother was a little offended and annoyed.

But this time, Becky was also a little angry. She completely resisted her mother: "You can keep your rules. I don't want Xiaowen to suffer from hunger like you."

Becky's mother wanted to faint, but Becky didn't care at all. She walked to the broken window and quietly stuck her head out.

There was not a single person on the entire street, and only people from nearby houses were still looking at the street.

Becky ignored the obstruction and went out, leaving her stunned relatives behind, and trotted into the street.

First, she searched carefully in the wreckage of the carriage, hoping to find something valuable, but unfortunately there was nothing else except wood.

Her mother was still in the dilapidated house ordering her to go back, but Becky turned a deaf ear and trotted out of sight of her relatives.

A simple run once again made Fritillaria despair. A daughter of a noble family actually wanted to run on the street. This was really unheard of and could be said to be unseemly.

Becky knew that the royal capital was no longer safe, and there might be a lot of people robbing homes, so she tried to choose short and narrow alleys, even if it took a long detour, it didn't matter.

There are no lights in those quiet alleys that you have never set foot in. On cloudy days, you can't see your fingers. You have to be careful every step you take, because you never know when debris or pits will appear on the ground.

Falling down is a trivial matter, but if you sprain your foot, it will be over.

This experience was discovered by Becky. She had experienced it in an alley.

Slowly, she adapted to the light and gained some insights of her own.

The color of places with pits is different from that of flat places, and will be darker. This can be avoided by being careful.

Then there is the debris, which is difficult to judge. Specifically, the size and shape cannot be judged, and you need to feel it.

Anyway, the best way is to hold on to the wall and walk, although you may not necessarily touch anything weird on the wall.

After walking through four alleys in a row, she stopped at the intersection, where the street was illuminated by street lights.

After passing this street, the next route has not been explored yet. Even when she got here, she relied entirely on feeling. She was not familiar with the complex and diverse alleys of the royal capital.

If Becky wants to reach Taigong Qingwei's home, she needs to walk in an arc if she takes the small road. If she takes the main road, she only needs to go forward and turn left. The main road is more dangerous, and she doesn't know if she can actually reach the house by the small road.

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to try her luck and take a trail.

Just as she was about to rush across the bright street, she immediately stopped and listened with keen ears to the sounds on the street. There was a very strange movement approaching.

This strange movement sounded like the sound of footsteps. Becky hid against the wall in the darkness and waited quietly.

Not long after, a smiling man wearing prison uniform appeared under the streetlight, laughing and waiting for someone.

Then, three guys who looked like enemy soldiers appeared with guns. Through the bright light, Becky saw the golden jewelry on the enemy soldiers.

There was a soldier who generously threw a watch to the prisoner.

Despite the language barrier, the prisoners burst into tears of gratitude.

Then came the strange noise that Becky heard. It was a few piglets. The pigs were covered in mud, and Taihui's soldiers tied ropes around the pigs' necks.
