Chapter 450 The city gate opens on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month

The heavy snow covered the red lanterns, leaving only the white spots.

There is no more fun in Yancheng than the New Year in previous years, only occasional figures will swing by the streets and alleys.

Nanzhi took Lin's father and mother to the city lord's mansion, but they refused but refused.

The natural disaster has begun.

She can't let her parents be in danger.

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The silent Yancheng suddenly became noisy again.

The big families in the city packed their bags and took their servants on the way to the capital.

Without exception, the four great men in Yancheng, dozens of carriages lined up from the street to the alleys, just to let the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate.

A curious people quietly poked their heads out of the crack in the window, just wanting to see the scene outside the city clearly.

The city gate was closed for several days, but they never saw the scene outside the city again.

The He family servant looked at the closed city gate, rubbed his hands and ran towards the guard at the door.

"This official, please open the city gate. My master is going to go out of the city."

As he spoke, he was about to hand over the silver ingot in his hand, but was frightened by the guard's cold face.

"The city lord has an order, Yancheng is closed and no one is allowed to go out."

"Official, we are the He family. My master wants to go back to Kyoto to visit relatives, so I also ask the official to be harmonious and polite."

"I said, the city lord has an order, no one is allowed to go out."

The guard looked serious and stared at the front, ignoring it.

"you--"

The servant wanted to say something else, but looking at the frost on their bodies, he could only swallow the words in his mouth.

"Whose servant are you?"

When Liu Jie came down from the city gate, he saw dozens of carriages lined up at the city gate. When he saw the person who turned around and wanted to leave, he asked with a frown.

When the servant heard someone questioning, he was delighted and quickly turned around to meet him.

"This adult, I am a servant of the He family. My master wants to go out of the city to visit relatives in Kyoto, so I would like to ask the adults for a convenience."

Liu Jie looked at him up and down, then looked at the carriages and horses behind him.

"Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's snowing heavily again. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rush on the road. If Mr. He wants to go back to Beijing to visit relatives, it's better to wait for the New Year."

Liu Jie did not say directly that it was no, but just tactfully dissuaded.

"Sir, this..."

The servant looked embarrassed and hesitated. How could his master not know about these things?

But now it is spread everywhere, and it is said that it is like a disaster today, and Yancheng is excluded by several other major cities. If he does not escape, he will end up starving to death in the city.

If you don’t leave, you’re afraid you won’t be able to leave!

These news also came from outside the city. If it were lies, his master would not have set off so quickly. Now that he has packed his luggage, he will naturally leave this place quickly.

"Please go back and say to Mr. He. If he insists on leaving, we naturally have no idea of ​​force."

Liu Jie nodded and asked him to go back and pass it on.

“Hey.”

The servant thought there was a chance and ran back in a hurry.

Seeing him coming back at the city gate, the He family's butler was a little displeased and just asked in a low voice.

"What's going on?"

"Butler, the person who was on duty said it was snowing heavily today and it was not advisable to travel far. Let me come back and spread it..."

"Nonsense! We are not blind people. How can we not know if the snow is heavy?" The manager said with a slump in his face and said in a bad tone.

"The person who was on duty said that if we insisted on leaving, they would not force themselves to stay, just let me come back and say something."

After hearing what he said, the manager of the He family was stunned and never thought it would be so smooth.

The past month, rumors spread in Yancheng. Everyone said that Yancheng was the first place to be abandoned after the palace transformation. Logically speaking, the city lord should not have let the merchants leave.

"The gatekeeper said that the city lord had orders not to let anyone out of the city, but the one who came later said that he would not force him to stay. Butler, let's do it"...

The servant was a little hesitant and didn't know whether he should send the message for a while.

"Go and tell the person who works, we're going to leave the city."

The manager closed his sleeves and stared at the closed city gate.

Now that they can still leave Yancheng, they will naturally leave quickly, and they must not cause trouble.

“Hey.”

The servant nodded and ran towards where Liu Jie was.

"Official, please give me some convenience."

"Then let's open it."

Liu Jie nodded to the guard beside him, with a little sarcasm on his face.

Let's go, I just don't know if these people can go to Kyoto alive.

He came back with the convoy half a month ago, and he naturally knew what the scene outside the city was like.

If these people stay in the city, they might still survive. It is a question whether they will be swallowed up by the mice after they go out.

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the scene outside the city was in sight.

The originally flat square is now filled with snow nearly three feet high, and the lush forests are left with only dead branches and leaves.

I haven't been around for a long time, but now I just look at it like this, and I can't tell which side is the road at all.

"Please."

Liu Jie looked indifferent and signaled them to let go.

The He family looked at the scene in front of them and turned dark, but when they remembered the letters their master received, they could only grit their teeth and drive the carriage out of the city.

"Brother Liu..."

The guards guarding the gate looked at Liu Jie and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The city lord clearly said that he would not let anyone leave the city.

"Don't worry, I'll take it alone if something happens." Liu Jie patted his shoulder, looked at the thick frost on his eyebrows and eyes, and sighed in his heart.

Their food is enough, but it is a little worse.

It’s enough for the people in the city to live this winter, but it’s not enough for them to survive.

They couldn't see or guess the natural disasters clearly. What they knew was that the land in Xia was not spared and food could not be revived.

It is the heavy snow that will fall, and it is the people in Yancheng that can last for a long time.

If there are fewer people in the city, the chances of other people living will be greater.

As for those who leave, whether they can survive is their own fortune.

Young Master He was stunned in the carriage, making Mrs. He blushed.

"My good boy, why are you doing this? You have reached such a point for a woman!"

Mrs. He was angry, but she couldn't spread it to her son.

"Mom, it's the child's fault."

Young Master He lost his handsomeness as Feng Shen, and only leaned against the car window with vain.

"Let's go to Kyoto, marry whoever you like, don't do this again!"

Mrs. He was blushing, but she couldn't say anything else.

In the past few months, my son's situation has always been good and bad. Sometimes he is awake and reads books and talks to them. Sometimes he feels like he has lost his soul and is just staring at the sky in a daze.

Go to the capital!

Even if he wants to marry that woman, he will marry her!
