sinking into sand

"Daocheng, is the city broken?"

News from thousands of miles away came from afar.In Zhulin Temple, Yu Wangling lightly tapped the letterhead with the message on it, and said calmly.

The person at his head came to wait on him recently. He couldn't figure out his temperament, so he replied cautiously: "Yes, it was broken in the middle of the night. Someone was causing trouble in the city's defense station...Hung... The subordinates of the Beirong Department are not disciplined. Strictly, the defenses in the city were loose, and someone took advantage of the chaos to blow up the city wall."

Here he was choosing his words and deeds carefully, but Yu Wangling didn't care, he threw the letter aside, and said lightly: "The Huns are really not easy to use."

The subordinate became more silent and did not dare to speak more.

Yu Wangling asked him more questions, saying: "Later, when the city wall collapsed, not everyone could escape. There were [-] households in Daocheng, and there were tens of thousands of people passing by as traders. These How is the person?"

"Many people, especially those living in the west city, have fled. But... the general of the Beirong tribe died, and those subordinates wanted to avenge him. They burned Daocheng overnight and massacred the people in the city. Now they are going west to pursue The one who escaped."

"Those people must have brought a lot of property with them when they fled." Yu Wangling said, "These Huns are not Huyan Luan who has been fighting with Guan Jingyue for many years. Where did the friendship come from? It’s nothing more than hired pawns, and it’s almost enough to vent their anger and slaughter the city, so why bother to chase west.”

The subordinate didn't dare to answer, but just bowed lower.

Yu Wangling didn't say any more, just picked up another post with the word Zhai written on it.

He glanced at the cover of the post before opening it, read the contents carefully, and finally laughed.

Yu Wangling didn't speak, but the subordinate was even more silent when he heard his laughter, not knowing what evil this living king of Hades wanted to do.

He put the post on the desk, took a pen and wrote a letter, folded it, called the subordinate to come over, and handed the letter to him.

"Send this message to those who are marching towards Daocheng as quickly as possible." Yu Wangling tapped the letter with his finger, "Be sure to send it before the news from the imperial court arrives."

The man took the letter, didn't dare to look up, agreed and withdrew.

With no one around, Yu Wangling turned his attention to the chessboard he was playing against himself the other day.

The fighting on the chessboard was extremely fierce, and the black and white pieces engaged in a relentless struggle in a small corner of the chessboard.At this time, carefully considering the situation between the two sides, although Heizi has encircled more territory, he can't make it real, he just bluffs people with his momentum, while Baizi has already survived on the top.

At this time, it was Bai's turn to play chess, and a small fly happened to hit the empty place of the black one.

"If you don't work at this time, I will really lose to you." Yu Wangling murmured, took out a sunspot from the chess box, and played with it in the palm of his hand, but it didn't drop for a long time.

When the sun slowly turned, the sunspot in Yu Wangling's hand landed lightly on the chess board.

Down in the middle abdomen.

Daocheng in the distance, one day ago.

The city wall collapsed, and the people rushed out, as well as merchants and people from all walks of life, all scrambling to get out of the city.There were also many people who were afraid of the Huns hiding in their houses. Even though Yu Sha and his party shouted countless times along the streets, they never dared to show up again.

Just as Yu Sha dragged his nearly collapsed body and was about to shout along the street again, Guan Lan hugged him from behind.

"That's enough, Xiao Miao." He whispered into Yu Sha's ear, "I've done my best."

Yu Sha's eyes were red, and he reached out to grab Guan Lan's hand, but Lan Bailing couldn't stand it anymore.She tore off a piece of cloth from her body, sprinkled something on it, and just covered Yu Sha's nose.

The muscles on Yu Sha's face twitched, and he made a final struggle, but he still didn't fight against fatigue and Labrak's medicine, and passed out.

"I'm just saying that your gentle tactics are not easy to use." Lan Bailing bared his teeth at Guan Lan, "If you are disobedient, you have to be tough."

Guan Lan didn't know whether to be speechless or looked at Lan Bailing with admiration, and nodded slowly, "I have been taught."

When Yu Sha woke up again, he was awakened by loud noises.His dream is still full of Daocheng, blood, cavalry, crying.There are also people who fled the city like headless flies, but they don't know where they are going. They are crowded together in a mess. The sky is dark and the clouds are thick, which only makes people feel that the storm is about to come.

He opened his eyes and found that he was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping under a big Populus euphratica tree.

The weather in autumn is not too cold, but the weather is good, there is no wind and rain in the dream, the sun is blocked by the leaves, bright and not dazzling.

Yu Sha closed his eyes, stared blankly for a while, and then turned over and sat up.Looking around, they were in a Populus euphratica forest, not far away there were many people sitting in twos and threes, and many of them looked at their faces.

Yu Sha subconsciously looked for where Guan Lan was, but he couldn't find it after looking left and right, and he didn't know where he was now.It's about somewhere on a mountain, but it doesn't feel very dangerous.

Yu Sha stood there in a daze for a while and rested his mind, then lifted the blanket and prepared to go out to find someone.At this moment, a familiar face finally came not far away, it was Xun Er.

Xun Er was holding a corn, and the direction he was walking was directed at him.Seeing Yu Sha woke up, she was overjoyed, she walked three steps in two, and walked up to Yu Sha in a short while.

"Brother, are you awake? Eat the corn." She smiled and handed the corn to Yu Sha.

Yu Sha took the corn, but didn't eat it. He had a lot of unresolved things on his mind, and he needed to know.

As expected of his sister, Xun Er could tell what Yu Sha was thinking by looking at his expression, so she sat next to him and told them all about what happened after they ran out of the city.

After leaving the city, it was Ye Wanwan who assumed the commanding responsibility. After running away for a certain distance, she made a decisive decision and ordered a few guards to bring some empty luggage boxes, temporarily hired a carriage from the village and town, and headed towards Fengcheng.Peng/geese group 23) 06/923, update on 96th,

This move attracted most of the pursuers, who were actually chasing them out for money.So the focus is actually on the goods rather than the people.The rest of the people, many of whom have relatives in the surrounding villages and towns, went directly to the past.

Since they went further north, the group of them could not clearly distinguish the forces in various mountains and forests, so they planned to follow Xun Er to visit Hanhao village first.No matter how we go from Hanhaozhai, we will wait until we arrive.

Yu Sha listened for a long time, but didn't hear Guan Lan's whereabouts. He opened his mouth, but couldn't ask.Since Xun Er didn't mention it, it should have gone north to Fengcheng to ask for help according to their plan.

Daocheng escaped, but this group of Huns must also be dealt with.Otherwise, when they start to move to the next city, there will be another place to suffer.

Thinking to himself, Yu Sha couldn't help feeling depressed, and casually asked Xun Er who these unfamiliar faces were.

"Ah, they're all random travelers from the rivers and lakes, and they have no place to go. Because those of us who escaped showed their faces, these people are planning to follow us to Hanhao Village, and there are also some spies from other villages. I also plan to go all the way.”

After Xun Er finished speaking, he lowered his voice and quietly added, "They don't even know that Wanwan still has Mr. Guo's identity."

Yu Sha understood, and understood that Ye Wanwan was playing the game of hiding in the city.

After listening to what he said, he didn't have anything else to ask, so he simply continued to sit in a daze.Xun Er looked at her carefully from the side, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

"No." Yu Sha denied it flatly, and felt that he was a bit hypocritical: "I'm just tired, take a rest."

"Go back to sleep when you're tired, and wake up to do something."

A voice came from behind, Yu Sha looked back in disbelief as if struck by lightning.Guan Lan held two rabbits and stood behind him and looked at him.

Yu Sha looked at him in disbelief: "You didn't leave?"

Guan Lan raised her eyebrows, "You want me to go?"

Such blatantly ironic remarks, in normal times, Yu Sha would have been too embarrassed to refute the bombardment.But today, he just looked at Guan Lan, without blinking his eyes, and said frankly, "I don't want you to go."

He couldn't handle Guan Lan like this, so he didn't pick up the conversation for a long time.

Yu Sha didn't want him to answer, he turned around, stood up and rushed to Guan Lan's arms to hug him, buried his head on Guan Lan's chest, and said sullenly, "I don't want you to go."
