Chapter 896 Going out of the city to worship the auspicious beast
Upon hearing about the auspicious beast, the old man at home became excited.
"Animals are psychic. If the dog at home barks like this, it must be calling us to worship the auspicious beast!" The old man was stubborn.
He Xiaoman and Wang Liuyue's parents were both filial, so they hurriedly cleaned up and took the old people to the outside of the city to see the auspicious beast.
After several families came out of the street, they realized that there was a huge queue heading out of the city, crowding the streets and alleys.
Cats and dogs were barking, children were crying, laughing, and chirping, and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
"Oh, why are there so many people?" He Xiaoman's mother asked in surprise.
"Auspicious beasts appear in the winter. They are rare to see in a hundred years. Don't we all have to go out and pay our respects! Xiaoman, damn, before anyone comes out yet, you have to hurry up, otherwise you will have to wait in a long line when you leave the city!" Aunt Jiang shouted loudly.
explain.
"Yes, yes, leave quickly. If there are too many people, you won't be able to see the auspicious beast." He Xiaoman's grandmother urged.
He Xiaoman's parents didn't dare to object, so they quickly took the old and the young out of the city.
In the tidal flow of people, Aunt Jiang turned her head sideways as if inadvertently, but exchanged a meaningful look with a woman not far away.
The guards at the city gate were shocked when they saw such a huge formation: It's not a festival, what's going on?
"Close the city gate, close the city gate -" the guard captain quickly ordered, fearing that something might happen.
"Stop!" Several horses came, and the man on the horse took out a token and shouted loudly: "According to the order of Commander Feng, open the city gates, let the people out of the city, and welcome General Huang and his soldiers outside the city to enter the city!
"
There was obvious suspicion on the guard's face: Feng Shuai? Isn't Feng Shuai imprisoned in the sky prison? And General Huang's soldiers are dozens of miles away, how can they get here? What are they doing here? They are the forbidden troops in the city.
ah!
"Open the city gate quickly! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" the man on the horse shouted sternly.
Seeing their ferocious looks and the tokens in their hands not seeming to be fake, the guards dared not hesitate and hurriedly followed the orders.
Seeing this, two guards quietly squeezed into the crowd.
The man on the horse had sharp eyes and whispered to his men, and someone immediately followed the two men.

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, at the foot of Qingming Mountain.
Wei Zi, who had been playing the jade qin for more than an hour, felt a little exhausted.
Feng Weihuan brought hot tea over: "Sister-in-law, take a rest."
Wei Zi took the hot tea without any politeness.
Their hands touched inadvertently, Feng Weihuan was startled: "Sister-in-law, why are your hands so cold!" After that, he quickly took the cloak and wrapped it around her.
Wei Zi was indeed very cold and couldn't wait to drink hot tea, which not only quenched her thirst, but also kept warm.
Feng Bai came to report: "Princess, everything is going according to your plan. Half of the people in the city have left the city, but most of them are civilians in the south of the city, and not many in the north..."
Wei Zi sighed and said: "In just a few hours, I can't bring everyone out of the imperial capital, so I can only do this."
Feng Weihuan said from the side: "Sister-in-law, you have done a very good job."
Let the domestic animals in the city cause a stir, and then use the "auspicious beasts" as a guide to incite the people to leave the city voluntarily. How could ordinary people do it?
Wei Zi said: "I hope everything goes well with your brother." The best way is to successfully retrieve the gunpowder buried underground.
Feng Bai replied: "Your Majesty's side went very smoothly. Not only did the Emperor give you the tiger talisman, but he also allowed you to dispatch hundreds of officials. Before the humble post came, your Majesty was already cleaning out the imperial army and thoroughly investigating the imperial city."
