"Destroyed my horse pole..." The leading man looked at Wu Zhaobai who staggered to his feet and asked one word at a time: "How about you pay for it with your life?"
Wu Zhaobai stopped in front of his sister, with more anger than fear on his face: "Kill if you want. Our Wu family has been innocent for generations, how could we..."
Wu Chunbai suddenly passed over his brother, pulled him back two steps, interrupted him, and said loudly: "My father is Wu Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs at the time!"
The man seemed to have heard a big joke: "You are the Minister of Household Affairs in the imperial court? Where are you in the imperial court?"
"The current dynasty has died!" One person said with a greedy and fierce look in his eyes: "Let's go in and see what good things are in the house of the Minister of Household Affairs!"
Several people held knives and ran into Wu's house like gangsters.
At the signal of the leading man, another soldier drew his sword and went towards the Wu brothers and sisters. While Wu Chunbai pulled his brother back, he forced himself to calm down and said: "...General Bian will definitely proclaim himself emperor when he enters Beijing! Proclaiming emperor is another step.
How can we stabilize the situation without civil servants!"
"The situation tonight is chaotic, and General Bian has no time to intervene in the affairs of the city. But when General Bian finds out that no one is available tomorrow, he may not be able to pursue the crime of wantonly killing officials and people after making money tonight!"
Just as the blade in the soldier's hand was about to fall, the leading man narrowed his eyes and said, "Let her finish."
Wu Chunbai tightly grasped the wrist of his brother who was also trembling, and tried his best to remain calm: "The general only needs to use me and my brother as hostages, and my father and the clan will definitely turn back afterwards... My Wu family is like this, and other official families can do the same.
I plan to imprison him temporarily so that he can serve the new dynasty in the future... If the general uses this to dedicate his merits to General Bian, he will definitely be appreciated and put into use by General Bian, and the benefits will not be limited to the size of the profit in front of him!"
The man looked at Wu Zhaobai with great interest: "It seems that you, the little lady, not only want to save yourself, but also want to save other officials and families..."
"But you are right, this is indeed a good opportunity to make a meritorious service." The man's eyes flashed, and he thought: "I held my hand high and imprisoned without killing, maybe I can also sell those officials a favor..."
Before Wu Chunbai could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the man say: "You reminded me very well. I will consider adopting it later, but you two - still have to die."
A sinister disgust gradually appeared in the man's eyes, as well as the pleasure of being in control of everything: "You are calm in times of crisis, smart and decent, teach this brainless bastard like me how to do things, right..."
"What I hate the most is this face of yours that always looks superior to others. I want to see how long this face can last!"
A playful smile appeared on the man's lips: "Kill them, strip them naked and throw them into the street!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier swung his sword again, and another man behind him got off his horse and raised his sword fiercely.
Others have regarded the two Wu brothers and sisters as destined to die, and together with the leader, they swarmed into the Wu family like locusts.
When the knife in front of her was about to fall, Wu Chunbai suddenly felt someone holding her shoulders, and then the figure turned around and stood in front of her, using his back to catch the knife for her.
"thump!"
Wu Chunbai's eyes widened and he fell to the ground under the weight of the staggering figure.
When the two fell to the ground together, the blade had fallen again.
Wu Chunbai's head was buzzing from the fall, but he could still clearly hear the sound of the blade cutting through his clothes and skin, cutting to the bone and flesh. He also heard the painful screams of his brother that could not be suppressed, and the gnashing of teeth and teasing voice of the person wielding the knife: "
...Looks like it’s useless, but it’s a bit tough!”
As he spoke, one knife fell after another. Wu Zhaobai's body trembled with each blow, but he still held Wu Chunbai tightly under him and held her head with both arms.
Wu Chunbai was suffocated under her brother's chest and couldn't see anything. She wanted to get up, but she was held down tightly.
Big tears rolled out of her eyes, and her internal organs seemed to be thrown into boiling water. Every part of her body was burning violently, her bones were almost broken, and her internal organs were almost turned into ashes.
Perhaps it was due to the tremendous pain, or perhaps her brother finally lost strength and she was finally able to push him away.
When the butcher's knife that would never stop until someone was killed was about to fall again, Wu Chunbai stepped forward suddenly and slammed into the person holding the knife, screaming in her throat that seemed to never belong to her.
At this moment, she really hated it!
She had never hated it so much!
Last year when she was on a mission to Dongluo, she had witnessed the chaotic times. At that time, she was sad and angry, but she had not yet tasted the taste of hatred...
But at this moment, she was protected by her brother, and when she heard the knife falling on him one after another, she really understood what troubled times were.
She hated this troubled world, hated the people who caused it, and hated these despicable knife-wielders!
Her Wu family has been clean for generations, and all the officials in her family are honest. Since her father was appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs, he has devoted himself to the hardship of people's livelihood. Most of her family's wealth has also been spent on relieving the refugees...
Her elder brother, who has been pedantic for many years, has been working day and night over the past year to write articles about saving lives and saving people. Although he always likes to talk on paper, he is not wrong, and he is definitely not a person who deserves to die!
And these Bian Jun who keep claiming to be for justice have no reason at all. They only need to raise their butcher knives to destroy everything!
So she also hated herself, hated herself for being incompetent and useless... Just as she had exhausted all her strength at this time, she could only knock the man holding the knife back a few steps. She had endless hatred, but she still couldn't hurt the despicable person at all!
Just when Wu Chunbai decided that she could only die with this hatred, the knife that was about to fall on her suddenly fell, and the person she bumped into suddenly fell backwards.
When Wu Chunbai followed and fell to the ground, he saw that the man was pierced by an arrow in one eye, and fell to the ground letting out a shrill and piercing scream.
Wu Chunbai turned around suddenly and saw another man also fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, followed by a group of four or five people on horseback, all wearing dark robes, whose descriptions could not be seen clearly.
Wu Chunbai rushed to his brother's side, reaching out to help him up, but he didn't know where to start. His body was covered with injuries, his body was covered with blood, and thick scarlet water kept pouring out of his mouth...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Chunbai wiped the blood from his mouth with trembling hands, and asked randomly: "Brother, does it hurt..."
Wu Zhaobai's voice was broken: "It hurts, it's cold..."
Wu Chunbai almost immediately took off her coat and hurriedly covered him, but she soon realized that it was of no use and she was extremely helpless. She suddenly raised her voice, cried and asked angrily: "...Why are you doing this?
Block the knife for me! Why don’t you leave!”
"Whether they wanted to take me away or kill me just now, you just took the opportunity to leave! If they make things difficult for you, just kneel down and kowtow a few times, and you can always survive! Why do you have to..."
"I don't want to kowtow to them..." Wu Zhaobai's voice began to become weak: "I can't just watch them humiliate my sister... My sister is the most talented woman in the capital, why do they..."
"Chunbai, I am not as good as you in anything..." The blood in his mouth was still pouring out, and his voice trembled from time to time: "...You arranged everything well today. When I just went out, I saw you walking at the back...I
I thought, I should also be a little more responsible..."
Under such circumstances, the corners of his mouth trembled and he actually smiled: "Chunbai, this time, I may not be as good as you..."
"You are just not as good as me, I don't want to owe you!" Wu Chunbai cried: "You are not allowed to die, I just want you to live to see how I can become better... You are not allowed to die!"
She held her brother's shoulders with both hands and put her head on his cold forehead. Her voice finally dropped, sobbing like the wind: "Brother, don't die, please..."
"Chun Bai...I just realized that if you just put aside your prejudices and be a normal person, you can beat many people..." Wu Zhaobai's voice began to lose focus: "Being a normal person is so easy..."
"Remember to tell your grandfather, father, mother..."
"Your sister-in-law, and Ah Xian, I..."
His voice became softer and softer, and he had already closed his eyes before he could finish the next words.
"...Brother?" Wu Chunbai froze, raised his head tremblingly, and looked at his silent brother with a blank expression.
After being at a loss for a moment, she stood up suddenly, came to the side of Bian Jun who had an arrow in his eye and fell to the ground, picked up his knife, held it tightly with both hands, and slashed away with almost all her strength.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
Wu Chunbai, who had taken off his shirt and had his hair loose, was covered in blood, but his hands still refused to stop and kept slashing like crazy.
Reason, calmness, truth, nothing exists anymore, only endless hatred for this cruel world.
It wasn't until Chang Yan defeated the surrounding Bian troops that he took the knife from her hand and forcibly dragged her onto the carriage.
On the way, Chang Ren rescued two officials and girls who were forced into the alley. Although they didn't recognize which family they belonged to, they also put them into the car together.
The two girls, the younger of whom were only seven or eight years old, did not know what they had witnessed. Their whole bodies were shaking violently, their faces were pale, their eyes were dull and dull, and they could not make a sound.
The older one hugged his knees tightly, buried his head in his arms, and his body was trembling slightly.
When Wu Chunbai finally tried to open his eyes, he met the young girl's big, distracted eyes.
After a moment, Wu Chunbai stretched out his blood-stained hands and slowly hugged the young girl.
The girl finally burst into tears: "Sister Wu...my father is dead! What should I do!"
"Don't be afraid..." Wu Chunbai whispered: "Everything will be fine."
Her voice was low, and her red eyes were filled with endless determination, full of determination to end this troubled world, as if she had made the heaviest oath in the world.
There were chaotic cries outside the car.
After witnessing Bian Jun's methods, countless people desperately fled towards the rear city gate.
Another carriage stopped at the back door of Dengtai Building. Wei Qin, the Duke of Zheng who was crying along the way, rushed out of the car. When he saw the restaurant in front of him, his crying stopped and he said in surprise: "Madam... why are we here?"
!”
The Wei family has a great business, so they are naturally prepared to leave the city today, but his wife has to leave with two people of unknown origin——
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Zheng Guogong chose to grab the corner of his wife's clothes and follow her steps... But why did his wife bring him to this Dengtai Tower!
"Just go in!" Mrs. Duan grabbed her husband and walked inside.
At this time, another group of people followed and poured into the building. Zheng Guogong vaguely saw the people in Yao Tingwei's house, and knew that there must be a mysterious arrangement here. He felt a little more at ease, and then he started crying again: "Madam, what do you think of Qing'er?"
she……"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Duan was upset by his crying: "The palace has already made arrangements. Qing'er and the prince must be on their way out of the city at this moment!"
Zheng Guogong: "Then those flowers and plants of mine..."
"Shut up!" Duan said angrily: "How many people have fallen under Bian Jun's sword along the way! What's going on outside? Human lives are worth less than a piece of grass, and you still worry about your crap!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Guogong cried even more sadly.
The fate of flowers, plants and all living things is miserable. How can he not cry in such a hell-like miserable situation!
"Dare I ask, my uncle..." Yao Xia and Yao Gui asked a guard in the building about Yao Yi's whereabouts.
"Don't worry too much. Yao Tingwei has been in the palace today and will definitely leave the capital with him——"
The Yao family felt at ease, and amid the chaos, Chang Ren arranged for everyone to enter the secret passage and asked his subordinates: "Have the Qiao family not arrived yet?"
"I've already sent someone to pick me up, and I should be on my way!"
Chang Ren nodded and asked, "What's the situation over there with Princess Xuan'an?"
The eldest princess has been detained in the capital. She is the person named by the girl to take special care of, and she is also the person whom the Marquis has repeatedly written to protect.
The eldest princess also had a lot of secrets in the capital. After secret discussions, the other party lent him a lot of manpower and asked him to use it to save more people.
In addition to the people on the list, Chang Ren and his subordinates also rescued some unfamiliar officials or civilians. Although their abilities were limited, they did their best.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During this period, they have successively killed off three groups of Bian troops who tried to enter Dengtai Tower to plunder. If this continues, more Bian troops will inevitably be attracted, and then
The secret passage is exposed... we must leave as soon as possible and cannot stay any longer.
Any later, even if you leave the city, you will still be in danger of being intercepted by Bian's army outside the city!
After Princess Xuan'an arrived, Chang Ren urged everyone to speed up their actions, arrange the aftermath, and sent additional personnel to deal with the Qiao family.
Qiao Yubai helped her mother board the carriage. After Qiao Jijiu stuffed Ah Wuye into the carriage, he urged: "Hurry up!"
Qiao Yubai in the car was surprised: "Aren't you with us?"
"I have to stay." Qiao Yang said: "Most of the students in the Imperial College are young and angry people who speak out loud. If I leave and no one is watching them, they may cause some devastating disaster."
Qiao Yubai was about to get off the car: "I'll stay with dad!"
"That's stupid." Qiao Yang said, "If you don't follow me, who will take care of your mother? As a father, you must fulfill your duty as a teacher, and you must also fulfill your filial piety as a son."
Qiao Yubai's eyes turned red: "But daddy..."
Staying at this time is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of the brutal Bian Jun. Life and death depend on those people's thoughts!
"Don't worry, there aren't many things in the Imperial College worth Bian Jun's covetousness. As long as I mediate properly, nothing will happen." Qiao Yang said, "Although your father and I have been fishing for many years, don't forget it.
Where am I from—"
Qiao Yang stroked his neat beard: "In the past, I was the first counselor under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Are you afraid that you can't deal with this Bian Jun?" Qiao Yang waved her hand: "Go ahead!"
Seeing his persistence, the coachman did not dare to delay, shouted "drive", whipped and left.
"Daddy, take care!"
"You be good to me, or I..." In the car, Wang choked and said, "Otherwise I will break all your broken fishing rods and burn them all!"
"Okay." Qiao Yang smiled and waved her hand, watching her wife and children leave.
He turned around and walked back, with tears in his eyes and a sense of clarity.
Now that the first prince is back, it’s natural for the first prince’s advisers to resume their old business!
