On the bed, two bodies were entangled and sleeping in each other's arms. These two people were Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao. They were in a courtyard. There were soldiers guarding the outside of the courtyard. The courtyard became a separate space for the two of them, especially It was Yang Xiuqing who ordered the soldiers guarding the gate not to disturb him, and the empty courtyard became a world for the two of them.
When a man and a woman were alone, they had sex early, and naturally they rolled around on the bed.
"Click, click,."
Suddenly, the ground shook continuously, and the bed also began to shake.
Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao were awakened at the same time. They looked at me and I looked at you, both of them were in a daze. Yang Xiuqing was the first to react and said hurriedly: "Quick, there's an earthquake, get out quickly."
"ah,."
Hong Xuanjiao reacted and immediately got dressed.
The two quickly put on their clothes and left the room. When they just walked out of the door, they saw a group of people standing at the door of the courtyard. Bai Shiyuan, the county government officials, and the soldiers guarding the county government all gathered together, because Yang Xiuqing had issued an order early. Following the order not to disturb, everyone was blocked out and could not see Yang Xiuqing.
Yang Xiuqing glanced around and found that the city was glowing with red light and had turned into a sea of fire. Seeing this scene, Yang Xiuqing's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What happened."
A soldier replied: "Reporting to King Dong, fires suddenly broke out in all directions in the city, and there were continuous explosions from the direction of the military camp. Fires are also burning now. The situation is not good."
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, he knew it was not an earthquake.
If it was an earthquake, it must have been large-scale. It couldn't just be an explosion in the military camp. He understood that the vibration was caused by the explosion. He changed his mind and immediately said: "Let's go to the military camp immediately."
At the critical moment, Yang Xiuqing thought of controlling the army.
With the army and soldiers in hand, only then can we control the overall situation. Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xuanjiao and their guards, plus a group of government officials led by Bai Shiyuan, a group of people quickly left the county government office and ran towards the army. No matter how far they ran, a group of soldiers in a state of disarray ran towards them in front of them.
When the soldiers in this group saw Yang Xiuqing, they all looked happy.
When the two teams met, Yang Xiuqing asked: "What happened in the military camp?"
After the words fell, the captain who led the team sadly replied: "The military camp is over, the soldiers are all over, Your Majesty, a fire broke out in the camp for some reason, and large-scale explosions began to occur in the entire military camp. Most of the soldiers died, and the rest were all." He was injured, and even General Jiang was killed. Now the barracks is engulfed in fire, and the brothers died miserably."
After he finished speaking, the captain burst into tears with tears streaming down his face.
"Kick, kick."
Yang Xiuqing's expression changed drastically, and she took two steps back. Fortunately, Hong Xuanjiao had quick eyesight and quick hands to help Yang Xiuqing, otherwise Yang Xiuqing would have sat down on the ground.
Hong Xuanjiao asked: "What happened? Did it just catch fire and explode casually?"
The captain said: "I don't know, I haven't found the reason. Besides, not only the military camp caught fire, but fires broke out in all directions in the city. Now Longtan Town is a sea of fire."
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, she immediately cheered up.
When it comes to his own safety, he definitely cannot ignore it. At this moment, Yang Xiuqing briefly suppressed the pain of the fatal blow to the army and ordered: "Withdraw, we will withdraw from the city immediately. We still have Lar outside the city. Sri Lanka's foreign troops can guarantee our safety as long as they leave the city."
Immediately, Yang Xiuqing led the people to run towards the city gate.
This is not the first time Yang Xiuqing has abandoned injured soldiers. When he was chasing Li Zhen, Yang Xiuqing had abandoned countless injured soldiers. This time, in order to save his life, Yang Xiuqing decisively chose to leave the city and ignore the people in the military camp. The soldiers surrounded Yang Xiuqing and left quickly, while the city was already on fire.
Running in the city, I can already feel a heat wave coming continuously.
The group of people endured the heat and rushed outside.
Hong Xuanjiao followed Yang Xiuqing, suddenly grabbed Yang Xiuqing's wrist, and said with a wary face: "Dong Wang, there is a large group of people running in front, be careful."
Yang Xiuqing ordered the soldiers to be on guard and looked ahead vigilantly.
When the people in front appeared in sight, Yang Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, because the people who came were foreign soldiers led by Lars. Lars quickly ran to Yang Xiuqing and said loudly: "Your Excellency Dong Wang, something happened in the city. What's going on? I saw a fire in the city and heard explosions coming from the city, so I rushed in quickly."
Yang Xiuqing said: "You've come just in time, let's go and get out of the city first."
Lars nodded and ordered the soldiers to give way.
Yang Xiuqing led the people in front without hesitation, and Lars's soldiers walked behind. As they galloped along, many places on the road began to catch fire. Fortunately, Lars and his soldiers were fast and quickly left the city. Yang Xiuqing stood at Outside the city, looking at the town of Longtan that had turned into a sea of fire, I felt like crying without tears. Tens of thousands of people were all buried in it.
The only ones left were Lars's thousand foreign soldiers.
"Report."
A foreign soldier ran to Lars and said in awkward Chinese: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, a large-scale Qing army was discovered north of Longtan Town. They are on their way quickly. They are less than half an hour away from us."
Lars said eagerly: "Your Excellency, King Dong, fortunately I sent many scouts to find out the news. Otherwise, we would be entangled by the Qing army, and the situation would be even worse. The matter is urgent, so we should retreat quickly."
Yang Xiuqing immediately said: "Withdraw."
The group of people quickly evacuated and stayed away from the county seat of Longtan Town.
When Li Zhen led the army to the county seat, Longtan Town had become a sea of fire. He stopped here for a moment, and then continued to chase. Halfway through, all the black-clothed soldiers who were performing tasks in the city returned to the army, and they followed Lars' team. While on the road, they slowly fell behind, and then returned safely.
That night, Li Zhen led his soldiers to chase him, stopping and chasing him all the way.
Li Zhen did not really lead his army to pursue him, he just made an appearance to scare Yang Xiuqing. For Li Zhen, destroying Yang Xiuqing's army had achieved his goal.
Yang Xiuqing, who fled back to Nanjing, was more useful.
Li Zhen was extremely relaxed, but Yang Xiuqing felt very uncomfortable. Whenever the soldiers reported the news that Li Zhen was about to catch up, he felt worried. By the morning, there was no news of Li Zhen's pursuit, and Yang Xiuqing was still not satisfied. If he dared to stop, he ordered to run for another hour. When it got dark, he ordered to stop and rest.
At this time, Lars ordered some soldiers to look for something to eat.
After running all night, everyone was tired and hungry, and needed something to replenish energy. Lars walked up to Yang Xiuqing and said: "Your Excellency Dong Wang, I have many questions in my mind about what happened last night. I must ask His Excellency Dong Wang clearly, otherwise, I will feel uneasy."
"Oh, you also have questions." Yang Xiuqing asked.
Lars nodded and said, "Yes, something is a little strange. Let's talk to King Dong about it."
