Zhi Xuan

In the western capital city, the fire was raging. The sparks spread with the wind and floated to the top of the house, instantly burning red.

Flames soared into the sky, and more than one-third of the buildings in the city were burned.

Most of the clan workshops are rammed earth buildings, and with the ditches around the workshop and wells dug in the workshop, part of the house property has been preserved.Guorenfang and Shurenfang fought the fire separately, and the residents rescued a little property, and they escaped in time without too many casualties.

The slave workshop had no such luck.

Due to the dense buildings in the workshop, most of them are low houses and sheds built of wood and thatch. In the hot summer, sparks will start a prairie fire, which cannot be extinguished.

The heat wave was rolling, and the smoke filled the air, filling all the slave workshops.

The young and strong barely escaped for their lives, and the frail elderly and children failed to escape from the fire scene, and fell one after another on the way and were engulfed by the fire.

Seeing their loved ones in the fire, the escaped slaves wailed and rushed back desperately.Fortunately, the people around him stopped him, so he didn't lose his life.

Mrs. Yang gave the order in time, and except for the forgotten Mrs. Mi, all the people in the monarch's mansion came out of the city safely and were not affected by the fire.

After leaving the city, they counted the vehicles and the number of people, and found that there was no sign of Mrs. Mi. The maids and servants who served her looked at each other, and their faces turned pale instantly.They only cared about escaping for their own lives, and left Mrs. Mi in the fire!

Even if Mrs. Mi is terminally ill and has only a few days to live, dying of illness and being buried in a sea of ​​fire are two different things!

They prayed for someone else to bring out Mrs. Mi, but they were dispersed in the chaos in the city for a while, and they would rush over to join them soon.But time passed by every minute and every second, and the figure I wanted to see was never seen.

When Mrs. Yang learned of the situation, she immediately ordered someone to take them down.

"Your Majesty is out hunting, I will hold it for now, and I will deal with it after your Majesty returns."

The servants and maidservants cried and begged, Madam Yang got impatient, and immediately a strong servant rushed up and clasped these people's hands behind their backs, gagged all of them and dragged them away.

If Mrs. Mi hadn't died, they would have been lucky enough to survive.Mrs. Ruomi died in the fire, not only them, but also their family members.

As time passed, the fire grew stronger and the ditches in the city were dried out.The houses were burned down, and the fire fighters did not dare to stay for fear of being trapped in the fire, so they could only flee to the outside of the city.

Zu Wu was also running for his life, leaving the city gate unguarded and blocked by the fleeing crowd.

The shouts of panic continued to rise, and the emotion of fear spread rapidly.The chaos intensified amid the noise, and even the patrolmen could not control it.

The team of some clans fell behind, and when they encountered a traffic jam in front of the city gate, drivers could not pass, so they waved their whips to open the way.It does not matter whether it is a national, a commoner or a slave, as long as it is in the way, it will be drawn.

Such an approach caused public outrage.

Emotions are like a flood that has opened its gates, setting off huge waves.

Those who couldn't get out turned around and rushed towards the clan's convoy angrily, overturned the cart with their bare hands, grabbed the whip-wielding servants and guards, and surrounded them with punches and kicks.

The clan inside the car was also caught, screams and scolding mixed together, all suppressed by the loud noise of the collapse of the house, becoming indistinct.

On the city wall, Jiachang ordered people to collect ropes, tie them into strong knots and let them down from the top of the wall. Then he asked the soldiers to line up, climb down one by one, and came out of the city smoothly.

Seeing the congested city gate, the armor chief and the soldiers did not leave, but brandished scabbards and wooden sticks to try to clear the team.

During the process, someone was pushed to the ground and screamed.A soldier tried to pull him out, but was almost caught in the crowd.Fortunately, Chief Jia grabbed him from behind, only one life was spared.

"You don't want to die!"

Chief Jia and the soldiers tried their best, but too many people rushed out of the city, and the city gate was tightly blocked.

A large number of people crowded in the doorway, the people in front were not fast enough, but those behind were pushing forward desperately, so that some people kept falling and were trampled to death on the spot.

Several clan teams rushed over and found the situation ahead. They saw the robbed cart and the people lying on the ground. The young man in the cart did not order to wave the whip, but ordered the guard to draw a bow. At the same time, the servant raised his voice and shouted loudly. : "No more crowding, offenders will be killed!"

At first, no one obeyed, and the young clan in the car ordered to shoot arrows on the spot.

"Boss, there are Chinese people." The guard said.

"Let the arrow go, if something happens, I will bear it all!" The young man's words were stern, and there was no doubt about it.

The guards didn't dare to disobey their orders, so they could only draw the bowstring, aiming at the dozen or so people in the group who were shouting the loudest and rushing forward desperately, and fired several arrows in a row.

"Out with the knife."

The youth united with the later clan team and ordered the family guards to line up in three rows with weapons in hand. Anyone who dared to continue crowding and resisting would be killed by the sword.

"Stop if you don't want to die, continue to squeeze here, don't even think about getting out!"

The young man raised his voice, and the guards opened the way with swords.

Some people were dissatisfied and wanted to stop the youth's vehicle.The guard beside the car directly swung his knife, beheading him to the ground, his movements were crisp and neat, without any hesitation.

This move shocked everyone, and the ones who fell to the ground were not ordinary people, let alone slaves, but Chinese.The king did not dare to kill without authorization, but now he was hacked to death with a knife, which shows that the young man's words are not false, if he continues to crowd, he will really kill.

Under the blade of the servant guards, the congestion in front of the city gate was relieved.

The people behind stopped pushing forward desperately, and the people in the city gate finally got up and rushed out as fast as they could.It's a pity that there was a stampede in the crowd just now, and some people were injured or even suffocated. The soldiers outside had to drag them away before the city gate could continue to pass.

The young man did not leave, but led people to guard in front of the city gate, not allowing anyone to rush forward indiscriminately.

There was considerable danger in doing so, but he remained still, and the youths of other clans were also driven, and they did not leave the city in a hurry. They all stayed at the scene and maintained order with him.

"Boss, the fire is about to reach here, let's go!" a retainer persuaded the young man.

The young man looked around and confirmed that most of the city residents had escaped, and there were still more than a hundred scattered people in the future, which should not cause any more congestion, so he ordered to leave the city.

The bullock cart was moving forward, besides the young man, there was another man who was tied up in the cart, it was the son Kang who had set fire to the city before.

Due to the cover of the silk cloth and the animal skin, the people around did not notice that there were other people in the young man's car.When he walked out of the city gate, the young man lifted the silk cloth, everyone saw who it was, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Da Ziqi, you captured Young Master Kang?" a young man from the clan asked.

Yang Qi nodded, and said: "Young Master Kang led people to set fire in the city. I saw him with my own eyes, and that's why I took him down. If your majesty asks for a crime, I have something to say."

"what?!"

Hearing that it was Mr. Kang who set the fire, the youths of the clan all showed anger.

The fire came so suddenly that they were caught off guard, and the houses in the western capital city might all be burned down.And all this is thanks to Young Master Kang!

Young Master Kang's hands were tied and his mouth was gagged. Facing the scolding of the crowd, he acted like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.If he could talk, instead of apologizing, he would add fuel to the fire.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Qi didn't take out the silk cloth from his mouth, all he had to do was wait until he saw the king and the heads of the various clans.

The fire in the city is getting bigger and bigger, thick smoke is billowing, and the pungent smoke and stench are floating together. If you accidentally inhale it, it will cause severe coughing, tears from the mouth and nose, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

Those who escaped did not dare to stay nearby, passed through the camp in front of the city gate, continued to move forward, and only dared to rest when they walked out of the area shrouded in smoke.

On the way, the youths of the clan encountered a team from the monarch's mansion.Recognizing Mrs. Yang's car, Yang Qi immediately chased after her and saluted Mrs. Yang in the car.

"Meet my aunt."

Mrs. Yang beckoned him to approach, and the two cars walked side by side.Seeing Mr. Kang in Yangqi's car, Mrs. Yang's expression couldn't help but change.

"what happened?"

"Go back to aunt, Young Master Kang set fire to the city." Yang Qi didn't hide anything, and told all the story of how he met Young Master Kang and how he took him down, including that there were dead men around Young Master Kang.

"Take the dead men and set fire to the city?" Mrs. Yang looked at Young Master Kang, who was staring at her fiercely without any remorse.

Mrs. Yang feels worthless for Mrs. Mi.

Exchange your life for such a thing?

Thinking of Mrs. Mi who was left in the city, Mrs. Yang's heart sank.Looking at Young Master Kang again, he was filled with disgust.If she were Miu, she would never do this.She will deal with this curse with her own hands, and deal with it cleanly.

The team moved forward all the way, and finally got away from the area shrouded in black smoke.

Looking back, the flames were burning brightly, the sky was glowing red, and the western capital city was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Thinking of the burned houses and lost property, everyone feels sorry for each other, and the common people of the country can't help but feel dejected.

There was the sound of horseshoes ahead, the return of the hunting team.

Seeing the black divine bird flag and the clan flag painted with totems, as well as the rolling chariots and the soldiers following behind them, bursts of cheers erupted from the fleeing team.

Because Xi Yuanhou was seriously injured and unconscious, the convoy was headed by Zhi Xuan and Su Hu.

The ceremony has not been completed yet, but Zhixuan's identity as the heir is beyond doubt.Coupled with the support of the Chinese general Su Hu, the army was commanded like arms, and no one dared to provoke.

The distance between the two sides drew closer, and seeing Zhi Xuan on the chariot headed by Xi Yuanhou disappeared, Mrs. Yang thumped in her heart, but kept calm on the surface, sitting solemnly in the chariot, and did not speak rashly.

Young people from the clan headed by Yang Qi stepped forward and saluted Zhi Xuan and the senior officials.

Zhi Xuan only found out after inquiring that the young man in front of him was the eldest son of Yang Hao, also the nephew of Mrs. Yang.His appearance should be closer to his mother's clan, not like Mrs. Yang Haoyang, which made Zhi Xuan feel unfamiliar.

When the two sides meet, naturally what Young Master Kang has done cannot be concealed.

Knowing that the fire in the city was set by Young Master Kang, everyone was silent, and all looked at Zhi Xuan, wanting to see how he would deal with it.

The Mi family rebelled, Mi Wu was captured, and Mi Ji fled. According to the plan of Su Hu and others, the Mi family must be eradicated in one fell swoop without leaving any future troubles.

Although the youngest son Kang is the eldest son of the Marquis of Xiyuan, he has the blood of the Mi Clan, and has a close relationship with the Mi Wu Mi Ji, and is inseparable from the Mi Clan's rebellion.Now he led people to set fire to the city and set the western capital city on fire. He made such a big mistake, he was doomed to die.

It's just that there is a difference between death and death.

Su Hu didn't make a sound, and Fan Xuluan would do the same.

Yang Hao and others are also watching, wanting to see what Zhi Xuan will do.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhi Xuan did not deal with Young Master Kang immediately, but asked Fan Xu in front of everyone, how should the law deal with what Young Master Kang did.

"According to what Young Master Kang did, it would be like a broken car." Fan Xu's voice was steady, without any personal emotion.

Zhi Xuan pondered for a moment, and said: "It will be my brother in the end, so that the car will not be torn apart, and the whole body will be kept."

Marquis Xiyuan was unconscious, and nine out of ten he would not be able to wake up.As the eldest son, Zhixuan might become the king in a short time, and no one felt that it was inappropriate for him to deal with son Kang.What's more, Young Master Kang's actions were too vile, and he must be explained to Xiducheng. The treatment of him cannot be delayed, and a decision must be made immediately.

Regarding Zhi Xuan's decision, the senior officials headed by Su Hu had no objection at all, and were even more satisfied with his decisiveness.

Young Master Kang glared at Zhi Xuan with fierce eyes, dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Zhi Xuan ignored him.

With what Young Master Kang did, it would not be an exaggeration to die ten thousand times, and it is impossible for him to let him go.The reason why the whole body was left for Mr. Kang was for Mrs. Mi.

After today, the past is wiped out.

Regardless of life or death, both are clear.
