The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

This huge earthquake lasted for about 10 minutes before gradually stopping.

Yan Shu's breathing was somewhat disordered due to the intense running. She leaned over slightly, took a deep breath, and looked back behind her.

The official roads and fields that were originally smooth were now filled with countless criss-crossing ravines.

The villagers of Xinghua Village and the other three villages were prepared in advance. When Yan Shu and Jiang Ci ran to the east, the villagers also followed them and ran in this direction.

In the end, it was proved that Jiang Ci's direction was correct. There were very few cracks on the surface in the direction they ran.

After the earthquake, the villagers repaired in situ.

From time to time, cries of grief could be heard from the crowd. Some relatives fell into the cracks, while others lost their elderly and children when they hurriedly ran away.

The situation of the refugees in other teams was even worse. Countless people died and were missing in this earthquake, and life and death were constantly happening.

Yan Shu sat casually on the ground and scanned the crowd around him with a somewhat absent-minded gaze.

Everyone's eyes seemed to have lost the brilliance of life. At this time, the gray sky and earth seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of smoke, dull and oppressive.

Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang and the three brothers of the Yan family all looked like they were surviving a disaster.

Yan Wu sighed with lingering fear: "It was so scary just now. My legs are still weak now."

Not to mention that Yan Wu was afraid, even Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang couldn't calm down for a while.

At this time, the seventh uncle and several village chiefs came to Jiang Ci. They seemed to regard Jiang Ci and Yan Shu as the backbone of the team.

"Erlang, look at how dark the sky is. Will there be another earthquake later?"

Jiang Ci glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice: "It's very possible, so we can't stay here for too long."

The seventh uncle pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, then we'll be on our way immediately."

Originally, they wanted to repair on the spot for half an hour, so that the villagers who had lost their loved ones could take some time off.

This time, a total of more than twenty people were missing from several villages in Dilongquanquan. Most of them accidentally fell into the cracks in the ground while escaping, and a small number of people were temporarily dispersed by the crowd. After half an hour, maybe These few people will find the team.

But after listening to Jiang Ci's words, the seventh uncle and the village chief gave up this plan.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the large army continued to advance in the direction of Nanwei Mansion.

The towns and villages he passed along the way were completely destroyed by this earthquake. Yan Shu estimated that this earthquake should be around magnitude nine, and the source area was wide and extremely destructive.

-

two days later

The large army finally arrived at Nanwei Mansion after traveling day and night.

The villagers were excited, and the fatigue of many days of fleeing was gone.

Nanwei Mansion is the capital of a state, and local officials are personally in charge of the city. These officials and soldiers will not abandon the city and flee unless they have to.

And they only need to go through Nanwei Prefecture for more than 100 miles to reach the boundary of Xinyang Prefecture, which is one step closer to Xinyang Prefecture City.

But when everyone arrived at the city gate, they discovered that things were far from as simple as they thought.

At this time, a large number of refugees had gathered outside the city gate, all of whom had fled the earthquake in the north in the past few days. However, the city gate entering Nanwei Mansion was closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter the city.

Yan Shu looked around and frowned slightly.

Tens of thousands of refugees have gathered outside the city now, and there should be many more refugees nearby heading this way.

At this time, the officials of Nanwei Mansion closed the city gate tightly to prevent the refugees from entering. Do they want everyone to fend for themselves?

Someone in the crowd cursed: "These dog officers who have killed a thousand swords just want us to die of thirst and starvation, or when the Rong Di army comes, let us block the knives for them!"

"If this continues, everyone will die here. If they won't open the city gate, then we will open it ourselves!"

"Open the city gate and kill the dog official!"

"Open the city gate and kill the dog official!"

After someone raised their fists and shouted, they immediately responded and started shouting slogans!

A large number of refugees rushed toward the city gate while raising their arms and shouting.

Jiang Ci's face darkened slightly when he saw this, and he said to Yan Wu beside him: "Go and notify the village chief and ask all the villagers to move back a hundred meters immediately!"

Yan Wu now obeyed Jiang Ci's words and ran to Yan Fugui to send a message without saying a word.

Yan Shu looked towards the city wall and saw a row of soldiers already on the city wall, staring coldly at the people below.

Seeing that they all held bows and arrows in their hands, Yan Shu immediately understood Jiang Ci's intention.

"Dad, Mom, let's go quickly!"

The family hurriedly left the city gate, and Yan Fugui quickly notified all the villagers to retreat.

As soon as their team withdrew, there was a loud bang hitting the city gate from the direction of the city gate.

The fleeing refugees rushed forward angrily.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The heavy city gate was teetering on the edge of collapse as thousands of refugees pounded it one after another, threatening to break in.

The soldiers on the city wall shouted angrily: "You guys stop it quickly. The governor has ordered that the city gates are sealed and any trespassers will be shot to death! If you guys don't retreat, we will release arrows!"

The people below the city became angry and cursed the dog official for being unconscionable. The banging on the city gate became more and more intense.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the tower waved and shouted: "Fire arrows!"

For a moment, thousands of arrows were shot at the refugees who hit the city gate, and bursts of shrill screams could be heard one after another.

Refugees continued to be shot and fell, and their blood quickly stained the ground red.

At this time, the people under the city came to their senses and realized that those officers and soldiers really wanted to kill them.

On the city wall, several men in rich clothes stood with their hands behind their backs, watching indifferently at the people who were shot and killed below the city.

"Sir, how should this matter be reported to the court?"

The middle-aged man at the head smiled coldly and said: "Let's just say that Rong Di's army pretended to be refugees and mixed into the fleeing team to attack the city by force. Our army will resist to the death to defend the city gate!"

"The officer understands."

The leading man stared at the refugees who were mostly dead and injured in the city, and turned the jade ring on his thumb in a sad mood.

"In accordance with the old rules, we will select a group of outstanding-looking women and send them to my palace."

"Yes, I will definitely comply with my orders."

Yan Shu stood a hundred meters away, staring at the tragic scene under the city gate with a cold expression.

"How dare they?"

Jiang Ci said solemnly: "These city-defending officials wanted to protect themselves and closed the city gates once and for all. In their eyes, the refugees were a heavy burden. Taking this opportunity to shoot them solved a big trouble."

This city gate is the only way to enter Nanwei Mansion. If you want to leave Nanwei and go to Xinyang, you must break through this gate.

Jiang Ci stared at the men in official uniforms on the city wall with a cold look in his eyes.

Yan Shu thought for a moment, and a shrewd smile flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle, do you know who controls Nanwei Mansion now?"

Jiang Ci met Yan Shu's smiling eyes and instantly understood the little fox's plan.

"Guo Chengsi, the governor of Nanwei."
