Chapter 149: No Big Deal
"It's just a Chang'an city. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed."
"The emperor will grow old, the hero will fade, the beauty will have white hair, the indestructible city will eventually be breached, the palace walls and pavilions will eventually collapse one day... It's not a pity, it's not a pity..."
The giant bear is already very old, and its big round face has become a little pointed, at least its chin is not so round, and the whole bear no longer looks so honest, and there is a hint of treachery.
However, it is still as docile to Li Zhi as ever, lying beside him, raising its fat back, and letting Li Zhi rub it up and down.
"The good and bad of people's hearts can be seen this time, and all the secret things they did in the past will be exposed in broad daylight."
"I hope my brothers can escape, and I hope Yunchu can be unscathed in this fluctuation. I even hope that after this storm, Chang'an will still be the same Chang'an..."
"People like to dream when they are young, pursue dreams when they are young, and create dreams after they become adults. However, when they get old, they will find that what they pursued before is nothing but flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. No matter how good the dream is, it can't be taken away, and it will eventually be empty."
The giant bear quietly listened to Li Zhi's chattering beside him, only occasionally responding with a few whimpers, and would touch Li Zhi's equally cold hands with his wet and cold nose.
"The late emperor once said that the more you get, the more fear you will generate when you can't hold on to anything. At this time, people will go crazy and do many incredible and strange things.
I should be old enough to do strange things now, right?"
The water drops outside the waterfall pavilion fell on the shiny fur of the giant bear, but they couldn't get into the fur. They made a small hole in the fur and flowed down along the fur, but the giant bear's fur didn't get wet.
Yun Chu evacuated all the soldiers from Chang'an, and at the same time, he also dismissed the militiamen who had been summoned and sent them home. At the same time, he lifted the curfew, allowed the East and West markets to open, and agreed to open the market with running signs.
The soldiers of the 16 guards stayed in the barracks obediently. The grain storage was not enough, so the chief clerks of Chang'an and Wannian counties collected some, but they didn't dare to send too much, and they still limited it to five days, that is, once every five days.
The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division no longer forced the soldiers to starve, and agreed to let them move freely in the barracks, but they were not allowed to leave the barracks without permission.
Overall, the matter was not serious. The Hundred Cavalry Division only killed more than 100 people who left the barracks without permission in the next three days. Compared with the total number of 80,000 people, this number was nothing.
Under the illumination of the flames of the Tianshu of the Great Tang Dynasty, the sound of fighting in the imperial city of Chang'an was still endless, but the people of Chang'an did not seem to care about the fighting in the imperial city.
Life must go on.
So the city of Chang'an, which had been deserted for seven days, gradually became prosperous.
The important reason why the people were no longer afraid of war was that they had a county lord who was trustworthy. This county lord had killed a man who went in and out three times in a million-strong army alone, and also beheaded more than 80 enemy generals in one breath.
So, when this fierce and invincible county lord was guarding the gate of the imperial city in armor, the people who made a living in the east and west markets believed that the sky would not fall.
Yun Chu asked the bad guys to bring sandbags and block all three gates of the imperial city, leaving only the Suzaku Gate behind the palace city for them to leave. Anyone who wanted to leave the imperial city would be subjected to dense rain of arrows from the bad guys.
Yong Wangxian's big steel teeth had long been replaced with more beautiful ivory. With ivory, Yong Wangxian looked particularly elegant, and even had a little bit of elephant-like stability.
"In the imperial city, there are not only the offices of the Sixteen Guards, but also the offices of hundreds of officials. If you go a step deeper, you will find the palace. A fire broke out in the Taiji Hall last night. Although it was quickly put out, it means that the fighting inside has already spread to the palace."
Yun Chu bit a Hu Bing and said, "The burning Taiji Hall can be treated quickly, which means that Ruichun and his men have the upper hand in the battle inside. The battle in the imperial city has gradually subsided. The thieves set fire to the palace, which means that they are already at the end of their strength."
Yong Wangxian said, "My Lord, when will Jinchangfang be fully open?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Jinchangfang has been open for a long time."
Yong Wangxian said, " No, at least I wanted to go to the canteen to eat a bowl of noodles today, but I didn't get to eat because the door was closed. "
Yun Chu said, "The canteen has not been open for several days to cook for the soldiers."
Yong Wangxian said, "Open the door and let my family move in."
Yun Chu said expressionlessly, "Many wealthy families left Chang'an with their families on the first day I lifted the curfew. Yong Wang can also leave with his family."
Yong Wangxian whispered, "I think it may be more dangerous outside the city."
Yun Chu nodded slightly and asked Zhang Jia to arrange for Yong Wang's family to enter Jinchangfang.
Yong Wangxian put on a set of armor, found a soft couch and sat side by side with Yun Chu under the shed, staring at the gate of the imperial city that he blocked with sandbags without blinking.
Half an hour later, officials and clerks from Wannian County came with soft couches, sitting quietly behind Yunchu and Yong Wangxian, staring at the gate of the imperial city.
Later, the county magistrate and the chief clerk Wu brothers of Changan County brought officials of all sizes from Changan County to the gate of the imperial city with soft couches, and accompanied Yunchu to stare quietly at the gate of the imperial city.
Later, the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were imprisoned in the Jinwu Guard camp also came to the gate of the imperial city. They did not rebel, but followed Yunchu's example and sat cross-legged on the ground and stared at the gate of the imperial city. No matter what the frightened Baiqisi did. Even if he was beaten with a whip, he would not move.
Later, the officials from Chang'an also came. They arrived late, but they wanted to occupy the front position, but they refused to let them go.
When the people of Chang'an heard the news and lined up behind these officials, the usually wide Zhuque Street was already crowded with people, and few people said anything. Everyone focused their attention on the gate of the imperial city high above.
"The war will end today." Wu Chengsi leaned close to Yun Chu and whispered.
Yun Chu said coldly: "How do you know?"
Wu Chengsi was stared at by Yun Chu's wolf-like ferocious gaze, which made his hair stand on end. He shuddered and immediately said, "I don't know anything."
When Li Shen and other members of the royal family also moved their couches to the entrance of the imperial city to watch the excitement, the entire Chang'an city seemed to have quieted down in an instant. Almost all the people in Chang'an, with their families and their families, looked at the imperial city.
This wait lasted for three hours. It was only when the flames on the Tianshu of the Great Tang Dynasty's Ode to All Nations gradually weakened due to no one to take care of it that Yun Chu ordered Lu Xiu, the chief clerk, to send someone to send someone to the Great Tang Ode to All Nations. Come on Detianshu.
Just when the sun was about to set, someone began to hit the heavy imperial city gate with giant wood, as if they wanted to get out. They heard a rhythmic loud noise in front of the imperial city, and the hearts of the Chang'an people present also followed the impact. The sound of the door was beating wildly, as if a savage beast was about to emerge from inside.
A dragon flag appeared at the top of the city. When the man carrying the flag showed up, he was shot through the throat by Yun Chu's bow and arrow.
Wu Chengsi whispered: "The Lord just shot and killed a Baiqisi."
Yong Wangxian looked at Wu Chengsi with hateful eyes and said, "You are allowed to reorganize your words and say it again."
Wu Chengsi said expressionlessly: "Xiaoguan just said that Junhou Shenshe killed a traitor."
Yun Chu shot three arrows in succession, and three people died on the top of the city.
However, it was at this time that the imperial city gate that opened outward was finally knocked open by the people inside, and a thin and naked man squeezed out of the gap. Just as he was about to speak, he was shot with thousands of arrows by the bad guys. The volleys were fired into hedgehogs.
King Yong said wisely: "Do you have to ask them to leave from Xuanwu Gate?"
Yun Chu said: "I don't know who the people who came out of the imperial city are. In short, they are a group of butchers who kill without blinking an eye. Their atrocities have angered the entire people of Chang'an. I don't want them to tarnish Chang'an. They can come from Xuanwu Gate." leave."
Wu Chengsi said: "No matter whose order they followed?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "No matter whose order they followed, this order is too unfriendly to Chang'an."
King Yong said wisely: "Then, who can come out from this door?"
Yun Chu said: "A selfless person."
Wu Chengsi said: "That means no one can come out from inside."
While the three of them were talking, the gate was opened wider to both sides by the people in the city using huge trees. Immediately, a man in tattered clothes but wearing a high crown walked out of the imperial city.
The feather arrow fired by Yun Chu was firmly nailed to the man's feet, but the man raised his blood-stained face past the feather arrow nailed to his feet by Yun Chu, and walked towards Yun Chu with a high head.
Yunchu looked at the person and put away his bow and arrows.
Zhou Xing walked from the palace gate to Yun Chu like a zombie, raised his hand and said, "If you have anything to eat, please give me a sip."
Yun Chu took out a Hu cake from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. A mouthful of cake choked his throat and he couldn't get it down. It was Yun Chu who gave him a kettle, which saved his life.
After Zhou Xing finished eating the cakes and drank a pot of water, Yun Chu asked, "When are you leaving? In fact, you don't need to come out from the main entrance. It's better to go through the Xuanwu Gate."
Zhou Xing looked at the dark crowd in front of him and said to Yun Chu, "Do the people of Chang'an dislike me so much?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "Let's go quickly. If there are still people who haven't been killed, give me a list. They are all here. I will call them out for you and kill them on the spot. I just ask you to leave as soon as possible."
Zhou Xing said in surprise: "Don't you ask why?"
Yunchu laughed and said, "Everyone is so stupid, what a stupid question. Please, please leave early."
Zhou Xing looked back at the half-open imperial city gate. No one came out after he walked out.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Kill them all."
Yun Chu turned around and shouted: "Make way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, small commotions broke out on the long Suzaku Street. A two-foot-wide path suddenly appeared on the Suzaku Street where the crowd had no place to stand.
Zhou Xing looked around at the crowd and said to Yun Chu: "There are countless evil heads that can be chopped off, and a certain family has a clear conscience."
Yun Chu said impatiently: "Let's go quickly."
Zhou Xing took a long breath, puffed up his chest, and walked away from the trail that the Chang'an people had left.
He walked among the crowd, just like a wolf walking among the sheep. Although his appearance looked somewhat similar, as long as he was a human, he could tell that he was a wolf, not a person.
After Zhou Xing left, Yunchu said to Yong Wangxian: "Let's go in and have a look."
Although Yong Wangxian looked pale, he still suppressed the fear in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go in and have a look."
Yun Chu turned around and said to the few remaining royal family members, nobles, and officials in Chang'an City: "Let's go in and take a look together?"
There was no response as Yun Chu imagined, only a deathly silence.
Yun Chu sighed and continued: "Ten thousand years, the officials of the two counties of Chang'an will follow me into the imperial city."
