Chapter 700: Setting People on Fire
After the people in the Shannian camp escaped, they smashed shops and robbed houses, causing great harm to the people of Shengjing. Their resentment had reached its limit, and it finally broke out at this moment.
Liu Yunxiang frowned. The matter at the Shannian camp will be solved soon. At this time, there must be no recurrence of trouble.
She called Zijin and Zhang Qi and hurried towards Xicheng.
There were many people holding torches on the street. They were in groups of three or five, with resentful looks on their faces. The further they walked toward the west city, the more people gathered. As the night darkened, the torches gathered together, forming a
A sea of fire.
When they rushed over, the soldiers who had agreed to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing stood side by side, on three levels inside and outside, forming a human wall to keep the people out. But as more and more people gathered, coupled with their emotions
In anger, there was a small area of pushing and shoving.
When Liu Yunxiang saw this situation, with the help of Zhang Qi and Zijin, he squeezed to the front with difficulty. Seeing Deputy Commander Chang there, he hurriedly called out to him.
When Deputy Commander Chang saw Liu Yunxiang, he hurried forward and took the three of her inside.
"Princess, it's dangerous here, why are you here?"
Liu Yunxiang took a look outside and saw that the human wall had begun to loosen, and the people from the Shannian camp behind were still sealed inside. If these torches were really thrown in, the place would immediately turn into a furnace, a furnace for burning corpses.
"Has Deputy Commander Chang received the order from the palace?"
"What's the purpose?"
Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, which meant that the emperor hadn't given the order yet. It was getting late, so the emperor would probably give the order tomorrow morning. He was taking his time, but the situation here was indeed critical.
"Can your people hold these people back until tomorrow morning?"
Vice Commander Chang shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not possible."
"It must be stopped!"
Vice Commander Chang was a little confused: "The palace has no objection, but His Highness the Fourth Highness sent someone to send a message, asking us to withdraw to the camp outside the city immediately, my subordinates..."
Liu Yunxiang frowned. This Qin Shengrui was vicious enough. He was withdrawing his troops at this time, but the emperor's decree to release Shan Nian Camp had not yet come down. Not to mention the chaos that occurred, hundreds of lives were lost here!
While they were talking, several soldiers were dispersed and a dozen civilians rushed in. They held torches in their hands and the fire of anger was burning in their eyes.
"Burn these stinky rats!"
"Leave no one behind!"
Fortunately, there was a group of soldiers inside, who rushed over and drove the angry people out. However, the people outside were getting more and more excited, and some people were already throwing torches inside, and the situation was about to get out of control.
"Vice Commander, let's withdraw!" A soldier ran over and wiped his sweat, "If we don't withdraw, we will also suffer casualties!"
Vice Commander Chang took a deep breath, looked calm, and then apologized to Liu Yunxiang. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yunxiang snatched his words.
"Vice Commander Chang, give me a quarter of an hour."
"What do you want to do?"
"Let me into the kindness camp."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "There are hundreds of lives inside, we have to save them."
"Can……"
"The Emperor has agreed to leave the people of Shannian Camp to me for placement, but the imperial edict will not be sent until tomorrow morning. I know I am putting you in a difficult position, but His Highness the Fourth Highness is not your commander, so you must not listen to him."
Those who hang around in the officialdom are all human beings. Liu Yunxiang represents the Zhenbei Palace, and behind him is His Highness the Seventh. Between His Royal Highness the Fourth and His Highness the Seventh, there is not necessarily a team, but it is best not to offend anyone.
Deputy Commander Chang thought of this and looked up at Liu Yunxiang, "It's only for a quarter of an hour. Princess, don't make it too difficult for your subordinates."
"good!"
Vice Commander Chang waved to his subordinate guarding the door in the distance, "Open the small door and let the princess in!"
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and hurriedly walked inside, with Zhang Qi and Zijin following closely behind.
"Master, is it too risky?" Zhang Qi asked uneasily.
"This is a risk you have to take."
"Then please stay behind me and Zijin and don't show your head."
Liu Yunxiang smiled and patted Zhang Qi on the shoulder, "We are going to rescue them. We have to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. It will be fine."
As soon as she said this, Liu Yunxiang walked in from the small door. Before she could see what was going on inside, a stone hit her on the head. Thanks to Zijin's quickness, he kicked her out.
Liu Yunxiang patted his chest and looked over in shock, but saw dark shadows moving under the night, pressing over like a mountain. When the people at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing lit the stoves on both sides, the people on the opposite side also approached, she
He gasped in fright.
These hundreds of people were all holding tools, kitchen knives, hoes, iron spoons, and if they didn't have any, they were holding stones. Their eyes were wide open, full of resentment or determination to kill. Even the four or five-year-old
The child, as if aware of hatred and despair, clutched the stone in his hand and followed the adult step by step without flinching.
"Girl!" Seeing this, Zijin hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Liu Yunxiang, "Let's retreat, these people have lost their sense!"
"Yes, the court doesn't care about them anymore, so let's not care about them either," Zhang Qi said anxiously.
Liu Yunxiang frowned. She saw these men and women, young and old, and naturally saw their hands holding the kitchen knives tightly and their thin faces.
They are cornered and they want to live.
Liu Yunxiang walked around Zijin and shouted at these people: "I am Princess Zhenbei, and I am here to save you!"
It was very quiet inside, at least the people walking in front heard it, but they were indifferent and continued to walk forward, their footsteps getting heavier and heavier, and their murderous intention getting stronger and stronger.
Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but take a step back, "I have already entered the palace to meet with the Holy Sage. The decree will be issued early tomorrow morning, and you will have a way to survive!"
Still, no one listened to her.
Liu Yunxiang exhaled and looked at these people. She still didn't want to give up, but...
"princess!"
At this time, a girl emerged from the crowd. When she saw Liu Yunxiang, her face was full of surprise. She dropped the stone in her hand and ran over.
"Princess, you are here to save us!"
This girl was in Diejiao Hutong before, and she took them in for a while.
After the girl ran over, five more children emerged from the crowd and ran towards Liu Yunxiang excitedly.
Liu Yunxiang stroked the child's face. After all, he had been raised by her for a while, and the flesh on his face was still there. He was not as thin as others, only the skeleton was left.
"Princess, after we were captured and brought back to the Shannian Camp, Tiedan and the others died within a short time of eating the steamed buns distributed outside. We saw what we saw with our own eyes and no longer dared to eat. We only ate the steamed buns you brought to us.
dry food." One child said.
"As long as you eat the food they give you, you will die. Many people have died here."
"Adults say that there is poison in the food. If you don't want to die, don't eat it. But many people still eat it because they are hungry and would rather die after being stuffed."
The children were talking to each other. Liu Yunxiang generally knew the situation and could only comfort them.
