Li Qiong was very decisive when he gave the order... As a person who has to think about everything he eats in the morning, he didn't even hesitate at all when he said he wanted to take the lives of these people.
Fortunately, these men thought of Marshal Li and left their backs to him. At the same time, they also left their wives, children and mothers... What do men want in this life? Isn't this what they want? Want something?
When the person at the back started to fall, it actually didn't attract much attention. After all, the emperor was here, and everyone's eyes were focused on the direction where Zhao Guan's family was staying.
But as more and more people fell down and the calls for help got louder and louder, some people finally began to react. They said they had reacted, but they just noticed something was wrong. More people were actually in the situation. In a state of confusion.
"Li, Marshal Li?"
The eldest son of the Fang family served as a soldier under Li Qiong. He was already dead when Wang De came to attack the city the year before last. The younger son opened a restaurant in the city under the care of the old generals of Zuohu Army. Although his craftsmanship was average. , but couldn't bear it, everyone was willing to take care of his family's business, so Fang Laoer's life has been prosperous in the past two years. Among the people who are most grateful to Li Qiong, his family must be included. .
But the more these people were grateful to him, the more reason Li Qiong wanted to take their lives.
Mrs. Fang died young. In the early years, she specialized in doing sewing work for others, and then she raised two sons. However, after they got married, before she could enjoy any happiness, she became blind. There was so much chaos in the city that she couldn't hear clearly. She only heard from her son that the Southern Dynasty was coming, and that Marshal Li was calling everyone out of the city.
Of course, Marshal Li would not harm anyone. He just waited for a long time and heard her son asking his daughter-in-law to take care of him. Then he became silent. She wanted to ask, but her grandson was crying hard again. She didn't want her daughter-in-law to take care of him. Distracted, he stopped talking and listened quietly.
She didn't know how long it took, but she heard her grandson's cry suddenly getting louder. She opened her mouth, but found that there was a lot of stuff on her hands, which was warm. The old lady put her hand to the tip of her nose and smelled it. , recognized it immediately.
Human blood and animal blood have different tastes. Sheep's blood smells bad, pig's blood smells bad, and chicken's blood smells bad. Human blood is the only one that tastes salty, fishy, and smells like rust.
When the city of Kaifeng was destroyed, everyone was fleeing to the south. Those who escaped across the Huaihe River did not know what happened to them, but many who did not escape died on the road.
There was no food to eat at that time. If we could survive, we would not care about the difference between humans and animals.
As soon as the smell entered her nose, Mrs. Fang panicked a little and quickly called to her daughter-in-law:
"Second Lady, Second Lady..."
In addition to her grandson's cries, the only thing that answered her was constant exclamations.
"Da Lang, Da Lang!"
Soon, she couldn't even hear her grandson's voice.
The old lady was tremblingly stroking her head forward. She didn't know why, but she was panicking now.
It was just like the panic I felt when my man took me across the river from Pingyang Mansion, dodging chasing soldiers and bandits along the way.
Her fingers touched the front, and a cold feeling spread to her body through her fingers. The old lady was a little confused, but her heart calmed down:
"Marshal Li, Marshal Li?"
Li Qiong recognized her, but he didn't know how she recognized him and took the lives of her daughter-in-law and grandson. Facing this useless useless person, Li Qiong became a little shaken.
"Old lady, how do you know me?"
Mrs. Fang forced a smile: "Last year, the scales on your armor fell off, and no one in Bozhou knew how to sew them. Then I still did the work!"
"Marshal's armor is different from other people's armor. The patterns on yours are not gold patterns, they are from our Song Dynasty..."
As I get older, my control over my body is always not as good as before. Just like now, this old lady Fang accidentally said the wrong thing.
She was about to confess, but she heard Li Qiong let out a long sigh:
"Old lady, go to the back and have a rest."
Mrs. Fang hesitated and said: "But my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren..."
"I'll help you find them."
These words were extremely effective. Mrs. Fang did not hesitate at all and allowed the person next to her to lead her over.
More and more people saw what Zuo Hujun did. The man they regarded as a patron saint a moment ago was now actually wielding a knife towards them.
When people fell one after another, their lives seemed as light as wheat during the autumn harvest. They still didn't react. It was just the instinct of survival that led them forward.
Go forward in the direction where they say "Southern Thieves".
"Li Qiong, the guilty minister, please grant your Majesty's favor!"
His shout was loud and clear, and the words of the Zuo Guardsmen spread it to Liu Bang's ears.
Liu Bang hated him so much that he called himself "Chen" at this time. He was determined to get involved with him. To get involved with him would be to get involved with the Bozhou tragedy. relationship.
In the end, what was reasonable became unreasonable, and he was really no longer a human being inside and out.
So without even thinking about it, Liu Bang shouted directly:
"Release the people. If you don't want to surrender, then bring your people to fight me with real swords and guns. Don't get these people involved."
These words were meant for Li Qiong, more like they were meant for these fleeing people.
Those who were at the forefront already knew what was happening behind them, and there was no way to go back. There was only one way to go forward.
But, can we really leave?
The one who took action, Vincent, and the porter who opened Wang De's head, even hit the emperor on the back with a stick. Their expressions were as complicated as they screamed just now.
Liu Bang saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and nodded towards Zhong Lei. This boy was already young, and he and Wang Qi and Wang Shun were the two most dissatisfied with doing this. At this time, he received the emperor's instructions and immediately Just took action.
"You guys, come with me."
With that said, he motioned to the Imperial Guards to make way for them to come out. Those people were stunned for a moment, and the screams from behind kept urging them, and they finally put down their dignity.
In the face of survival, dignity is nothing!
With a hint of sarcasm, the people in the first two rows still embarked on this path of survival.
When these people entered, the entrance was immediately blocked by the Forbidden Army. The people behind were caught off guard and thought they had changed their minds.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qi pointed to the other side with a cold face and said:
"You guys, from this way."
Everyone rushed forward, and the scene was much more lively than before.
And Li Qiong continued to talk to the emperor from a distance:
"The benevolence of the women of Zhao Guan's family should put the world's major affairs first... The sinful ministers will die, even evil people can't do it?!"
"You do your mother's X!"
Liu Bang couldn't bear it anymore and cursed.
