Chapter 172 Seeking to Live (4)

"This officer is Chen Kai, who was tasked with breaking into the town hall a few years ago to kill the Chaozhou Thieves King. If one person carries more than one parcel of belongings, the whole gang will be seated together and will not be allowed to board the ship!"

Chen Kai shouted loudly, and then handed the tin trumpet to the stunned Ding Youyi, and then strode up the city wall. After a moment, similar orders seemed to begin to be conveyed in the west direction, probably at the Civilization Gate,

Perhaps the same is true for Zhengnan Gate and Guide Gate which are further away.

At this moment, Chen Kai has set an example, and Ding Youyi quickly echoed. As expected, Chen Kai's reputation of "tearing a car apart with his hands" still scared many people. Even though there were many people who were happy to look for it,

Carrying some useful things, he repacked them and took them away. But more importantly, when the neighbors who were carrying only one package according to the regulations looked over, many people were really embarrassed to drag the whole alley and couldn't board.

The ship is gone.

There was a brief pause, and then, when the queue moved again, the speed was much faster than before. The people were in a hurry to leave this dangerous place, and the mess on the roadside further illustrated their eagerness.

In the flow of people heading south, a middle-aged man holding a piano came from the pier against the flow of people. It took a lot of effort to find Chen Kai, who was supervising the commanding personnel on the city wall.

Kuang Lu, in connection with this matter, did not want to see each other too much. This time she just came to say goodbye to Chen Kai. However, when she arrived at the dock, she could not find Chen Kai. After asking many people, she found out that Chen Kai had been in the city all along.

On the head.

Chen Kai naturally knew the purpose of Kuang Lu's visit, and he also knew that when Kuang Lu returned to Haixuetang, he would place all the collections beside him, hold the Tang Dynasty Guqin "Green Qitai" in his arms, and eventually die of a hunger strike.

.

They have been dating for more than a month and have only met a few times. However, Kuang Lu's free and easy temperament is very suitable for Chen Kai's temperament. Once the two meet, there will always be endless topics to talk about. But now it's over.

, but they looked at each other and were speechless.

Kuang Lu knew that Chen Kai was pressed for time, so after a moment, she explained the purpose of her visit: "Brother Jingcheng, I am here to say goodbye this time." After saying this, Kuang Lu originally planned to say a few words about the rescue.

He praised Chen Kai by saying that one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but when the words came to his lips, he backed away. On the contrary, his next performance made Chen Kai look at him for a moment.

"This Green Qi Taiwan was originally something that Emperor Wuzong hid in the Leopard Room. It is the most cherished piece in Brother Yu's collection. Today, I give it to you as a gift to express my admiration for you."

After saying that, Kuang Lu put the guqin she was holding into Chen Kai's arms, then bowed her hands and strode towards the steps. Perhaps when he returned to the vicinity of Haixuetang and met the Qing army, he could also use it.

There was something next to him, and he laughed wildly and said, "What is this? Can you play with it?"

The Chu-colored piano body is covered with cow hair patterns. If you look closely, you will see the three characters "Green Qitai" carved in official script at the Dragon Pond, with silkworm heads and swallow tails, twists and turns, which is the perfect interpretation of the romance and unrestrainedness of the literati.

Caressing the body of the piano, looking at Kuang Lu's retreating back, Chen Kai turned his head and winked at Lin Dezhong. The latter understood, nodded and followed Kuang Lu's departure path. Lin Dezhong was originally a hunter in the mountains.

, later on he also had a lot of experience in the military, and having experienced the Battle of Pantuoling, he was on his own, and Chen Kai was always at ease when it came to handling matters.

When he caught up with Kuang Lu who had arrived at the city gate, he bluntly said that Chen Kai had a gift in return for him, but asked Kuang Lu to move. Then he suddenly took a wrong step and cut the middle-aged man with a hand knife.

On Lin Dezhong's neck, the latter's body suddenly softened and fell directly into Lin Dezhong's arms.

The sedan chair had already been prepared, and Chen Kai always thought it would be useful, so he loaded Kuang Lu into it and immediately transported it to the dock.

This was just an interlude. Lin Dezhong stepped down from the city wall, and Chen Kai looked back. As time continued to pass, dawn was getting closer and closer. Chen Kai knew very well that the news coming from Shi Huiran at this stage showed that,

At dawn, when the Qing army saw clearly how dilapidated the northwest city wall was, it was the beginning of the massacre. But now, even half an hour had passed, and the time left for Chen Kai was getting less and less, but

In the Gongbei Tower area to the north of the main south gate, the light of a huge team of chariots and horses appeared in his sight.

"Shuai Yu, Shuai Zhang, believe it or not, the person from Gongbei Tower who is rushing here is our dear Governor-General?"

As soon as Chen Kai said this, the two men immediately changed their expressions. Du Yonghe is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guangzhou is his administrative seat. It has been more than ten months since the Qing army entered Guangzhou Prefecture, especially since the Qing army entered Guangzhou Prefecture eight months ago.

During a fierce attack on Guangzhou City, Du Yonghe led his generals to resist vigorously, but now Chen Kai concluded that Du Yonghe would run away, and the two of them couldn't help but become suspicious. But before they could put their suspicions into words, in

In the distance, a scream of "The Governor has escaped" spread with an uncontrollable trend as Du Yong and the banner appeared in the sight of the people who were still lining up waiting to leave the city.

"We can get news from Shi Shuai, and Du Zhijun can also predict from Yang Chunbo that Guangzhou City is about to fall..."

Chen Kai explained briefly, and the two of them turned their attention to the north of the main south gate. Unlike these common people who traveled lightly, Du Yonghe not only loaded his family members on the carriage, but also the family assets accumulated over the years.

Nothing was left behind, and they were all protected by soldiers and guards, slowly heading south.

In addition to Du Yonghe, the senior civil servants in the governor's office, the chief envoys' department, and the inspector's envoys' department in Guangzhou were all ready to flee with their families just like Du Yonghe. They were the "main escape group" in Guangzhou.

Now they are closely united around Du Yonghe, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. And their leader is also a military commander, and has inextricable old friendship with the military commanders of the "main war faction", so naturally he will not

No notice was given at all. However, that was only after he had prepared everything, so that he would not be blocked by Zhang Yue, Li Jianjie and others at the same time, without even a chance to escape.

Compared with ordinary people, guards and soldiers, although the servants guarded a large number of family members and property and fled south with these carriages, the army was an army and it was in good order. When the large group of carriages and horses passed Gongbei Tower, the large group of servants personally

The soldiers rushed forward and began to disperse the people who had not yet entered the city.

Whips, scabbards, and gun barrels, these professional soldiers who are used to seeing battles know very well that their purpose is to clear the road. If they see blood and kill someone, the scene will become a mess, and the carriages and horses behind will also

It is difficult to pass quickly. As long as these untouchables blocking the road know that they are in pain and roll to the roadside with their bags on their backs, the goal will be achieved, and that is enough.

Waving whips, scabbards and gun barrels, yelling and cursing. Amidst the screams, curses and cries, the crowd of people anxiously waiting to enter the city immediately started to be attacked by this barbaric force on both sides of the street.

Evicted from the streets.

The crowd of common people originally organized by Pingfang Lane inevitably fell into chaos, but at this moment, Du Yonghe and others' chariot and horse teams also squeezed in through every opportunity, and under constant expulsion, they moved toward

Heading in the direction of the main south gate. When the team of chariots and horses approached the city wall, the people gradually began to gather together. However, under the vigilant eyes of the soldiers and servants guarding the side, they did not dare to

Too close together.

The people were driven to both sides by them, and they were also squeezing the team in front of them that was entering the city gate. The crowd surged forward, and the team suddenly accelerated. People were constantly being squeezed to the side of the road, and some even fell to the ground. Soon

Submerged under pairs of big feet. Order began to gradually lose. Chen Kai didn't have many men in his hands, so he had to let these soldiers do what they did.

The team of carriages and horses slowly passed through the main south gate. Zhang Qixian was too lazy to pay attention to the escaped governor and simply went directly to Guide Gate to prepare for the defense. Chen Kai took Lin Dezhong, Cai Qiao and a group of soldiers down the city wall.

Seeing these angry officials, before he could speak, the chief envoy strode forward and started to accuse Chen Kai of shaking the hearts of the people in the city, but was stopped by Du Yonghe.

"It is high justice for Governor Chen to rescue the people in this critical moment. Now that the city is about to be destroyed, I and my colleagues will temporarily leave Guangzhou City in order to continue to preside over the military and political affairs of Guangdong Province, and to better organize Guangdong.
