Chapter 73
Not long after Mu Xuexing left, the south gate was closed. The door was closed and the hungry people outside kept knocking hard. After a while, the kicking and knocking suddenly stopped outside, which made the guards inside the door anxiously shocked.
The guard behind the gate did not know the reason, but the guards on the city wall knew it. The guards on the city wall ran down to inform the police, "Captain, the hungry people outside the gate left, but they went towards the west gate."
Seeing that the South Gate could not enter, the hungry people must have to hit other doors to pay attention. They couldn't wait for Sikong to deal with it for a long time, so Lu Qi could only make a quick decision and say, "Go and report quickly and let the brothers from the North Gate close the door."
"Yes" A guard received an order to rush towards Ximen.
Lu Qi was saying, "Huaning, go to Ximen with me."
"Okay" Hua Ning brought the horse, and the two of them got on the horse. Lu Qi remembered that Tongren's Sect was saying to a guard, "Go and inform Commander Fang, and let him close the door too."
"Yes" the guard rode away.
It was too late when Lu Qi Huaning rushed to the west gate. Lu Qi saw that the hungry people had broken into the door from afar. The guards treated the hungry people as mobs and advanced together on the spot, killing and hurting many hungry people. Seeing the guards taking ruthless measures, some of them picked up stones and threw them away, while some snatched the guards' weapons and fought against each other.
Although Ximen was rushing to get into a wave of hungry people, Lu Qi knew that the hungry people coming from the South Gate had not arrived yet. If the situation of the hungry people entering the city was even more chaotic, Lu Qi immediately stepped forward to help the guards close the Ximen.
As soon as the Ximen was closed, the guard who had gone to the North Gate to report the news came over. Lu Qi asked anxiously, "Is the North Gate closed?"
Guard Jiao Bing "It's closed, but there are many hungry people breaking in before the pass."
Lu Qi secretly called out badly.
The hungry people were looking for food before they broke into the city, but now they were able to get in. Some people were thinking of robbing valuable items, not robbing them for nothing, but not robbing them. At this point, it was better to rob some valuable items and secretly leave the city and go to other places to change food.
Lu Qi said on the spot, "I asked my brothers to gather together. Regardless of whether those who are on duty or not, those who are on duty or those who are not on duty, all of them will be called up for me to catch people!"
When Fang Mo received the notice, he was very surprised and did not expect that Lu Qi had a physical conflict with the hungry people at the South Gate. Such a thing was very fatal. For example, other hungry people heard that some people were determined to be united in hatred of the enemy. Such a flame would rise.
Fang Mo ordered the guards to close the Tongren Gate. When the guards closed the door, the hungry people did not forcefully break through the door like other doors. The hungry people stood outside the door and watched the Tongren Gate close. The hungry people were still afraid of the Beiling Cavalry. After all, the Beiling Cavalry is famous and is also a North Dynasty elite cavalry, so no one wants to come forward to seek death.
Other doors were broken into, some were hungry outsiders, and some were hungry local people. The city defense army guarded the door in private and had long complained about high income and city expenses. Usually, they just complained and dared to fight with the city defense army. The resentment was deeply revealed, and of course, they squeezed out all the resentment in their hearts.
Hungry people who came in from other doors broke into major stores and shot in a mess. Mu Xuexing and Zhang Guirong were still walking on the road. You could hear the sound of chaos in the distance along the way. Mu Xuexing stopped when he saw Zhang Guirong, "What are you thinking, go quickly."
Zhang Guirong's eyes were full of self-blame, and suddenly spoke out loud to scold Mu Xuexing, "What did you ask me to do!" Zhang Guirong was so emotional, Mu Xuexing didn't blame him. Mu Xuexing's eyes were dark and said, "Although you are spreading false news, you can't slap a sound. If they don't want to do this, you can't tell them."
This sentence is true, and Mu Xuexing did not comfort Zhang Guirong.
Zhang Guirong heard the commotion and was moved and gritted his teeth and said, "If someone dies because of this, then I..."
"What do you have to do with you?" Mu Xuexing's eyes changed and said sternly, "It is their choice to go from a hungry man to a mob, not for you to make a choice for them. They will take care of this. You should concentrate on doing what you should do now. Brother Zhang, I told you that some things cannot be withdrawn in the middle once they have to be done."
Zhang Guirong trembled and said, "I..."
Mu Xuexing sighed deeply. Forcing someone to leave is not a way to untie Zhang Guirong's knot. Mu Xuexing said, "You said you are willing to do everything for your family and want your family to live a good life. This is the price."
Zhang Guirong stood still without saying a word.
Mu Xuexing knew that the commotion would come soon and quell it. He would definitely suppress it hard when dealing with such a thing. Mu Xuexing saw that Zhang Guirong was unmoved, so he really had no time to waste with him.
Mu Xuexing suddenly added a sentence saying "You are not the only one who has a discontent." After that, Mu Xuexing left step by step.
Mu Xuexing made suggestions on this matter. How could he feel better than Zhang Guirong? Zhang Guirong didn't think about him at this time, but only Lu Hong was thinking about. Zhang Guirong told himself that he must not let Lu Hong live a hard life.
At the same time, Zhang Guirong didn't want to be a city soldier who was despised for the rest of his life. Looking at Mu Xuexing's back, Zhang Guirong followed closely.
The hungry people broke into the door and became mobs, and the mobs became bandits when they entered the city. Not only did they rob jewelry and jade, they even broke into the wealthy house to get money.
A wealthy family has its own thugs, and even thugs cannot withstand many people.
Tie Laoba was stunned when he saw the city in a mess at the entrance of the gambling house. He had never seen such a situation in Jingbei for so many years. How could Tie Laoba care about other people? Some mobs wanted to break into the gambling house. Tie Laoba had long been waiting for someone to take a knife to set up a formation. The mob could only give up his thoughts when he saw this.
Cheng Yong heard a noisy outside the museum. After asking, he felt incredible. Cheng Yong had complaints about Cheng Changtai and Cheng Ruoyuan, and his relatives quarrels were thicker than water. Now Cheng Yong only thought about one thing, that is, to protect Cheng Changtai and Cheng Ruoyuan.
Cheng Yong gathered in the hall guards and said, "These evil people are going to rebel. Hurry up, come back home with me!"
Cheng Yong doesn't care about other people now, as long as the Sikong Mansion is safe and sound.
Just when Cheng Yong led people to Sikong Mansion, Cheng Ruoyuan was on the street. If Cheng Ruoyuan didn't turn the way, she would meet Cheng Yong. Unfortunately, Cheng Ruoyuan turned the way. In fact, Cheng Ruoyuan was approaching the North Pavilion, and turning the way was not because Cheng Ruoyuan wanted to go on a detour. It was just that the mob smashed and robbed and did not burn it. The maid and Cheng Ruoyuan were with her. In order to avoid being implicated, the maid suggested changing the way.
The maid's pretty face changed color and walked forward tightly with Cheng Ruoyuan. "Miss, what's wrong?"
How could Cheng Ruoyuan have an answer for such a thing? Now she has to turn back to Sikong Mansion and is not in a hurry. Beiguan is not far away, so she must choose Beiguan to avoid the limelight.
Cheng Ruoyuan's face was still nervous and said, "I don't know, stop talking, go to the Beiguan first."
