1332 The Realm of Chaos
At this moment, the situation in the south of Xiangguo City had already become chaotic.
The buildings in this area are already chaotic and have no clear rules. Before, Shi Sui was strong and clear, driving many wandering people around the city into the city, but they did not carry out effective reorganization and resettlement. With the riots in the city, all the scholars and people were alarmed, either guarding themselves in the courtyard gate or crying on the long street.
The leading general Wang Lang, as the confidant appointed by Jiezhu Shi Hu to stay in Xiangguo, was unwilling to station the imperial guards to the south of the city, thinking that it was the safest to leave it to Zhuhu Yi inside and outside the city to stay in the palace.
But unfortunately, Prince Shi Sui kept pushing the order, and the return of Pingyuan Gongshi Xuan also made the situation more variable.
The two oldest sons under the King of Heaven have accumulated grievances for a long time, which is not a secret in Jie. On the one hand, Wang Lang could not withstand the pressure exerted by Shi Sui, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to get involved in the internal strife of the Shi brothers, so he reluctantly agreed to settle in the south of the city, but he still left behind a capable general including his son Wang Guang to guard the Gongyuan, hoping that even if there were deeds of brothers and feet, he could avoid the impact of Gongyuan.
But Wang Lang still underestimated the cruelty of Prince Shi Sui. When the news of his son Wang Guang being killed in front of the palace gate reached the south of the city, Wang Lang was shocked and angry. He no longer had the mood to sit in the chaos in the south of the city. He was half full of personal anger and half a heavy responsibility of the master. He had to return to Jiande Palace urgently.
However, it is easy to come out, but it is much more difficult to go back. The messy houses in the south of the city were originally not allowed to go straight in and invade the palace ban even if there were foreign invaders or chaos in the city. However, now it has become an obstacle to these retreating guards.
Another point is that Wang Lang has not completely lost his mind. He knows that the current rebellion is the prince of the regent. Even if he leads his troops back to Jiande Palace to confront each other, he will not have any advantage.
Because after Wang Lang ordered the imperial guards to return to defense, he led some of his direct troops to go straight to several fang areas southwest of the city. There were a large number of ministers from the Jie Kingdom, and even several Shi clan relatives and Jie Hu's elder mansions were located there. Before the rebellion in the garden, Wang Lang had to reach a consensus with these people and obtain a great title.
The situation was already chaotic, and the general could not personally supervise and dispatch it. The soldiers of the Jie Kingdom's imperial guards were also confused. Without a unified command, they could only advance into the city under the leadership of their respective commanders, as if they were trekking in mud and sand. The speed of advancement was really slow.
At this moment, there were messy figures running everywhere between the streets and alleys in the south of the city. The light in the night was already dim. In addition, there were few straight roads in the south of the city, and these guards could only pass through the narrow and winding alleys.
Without the neat military formation, these guards could not shock the confused and chaotic people. The team suffered several shocks, and some guards were walking for a distance before they suddenly realized that their troops had been dispersed by the chaotic people!
"Those who dare to rush to the noise will be killed without mercy!"
Finally, the generals of the Imperial Guard issued this cool order to maintain the integrity of the troops. So the Imperial Guards hurriedly walked to the south of the city and then hurriedly retreated. They did not fight fiercely with the enemy troops who were invading the territory, but swung the butcher's knife at the people who were supposed to be protected by them.
Although the imperial guards were not the first-class elite troops, they had neat swords and sticks and had many powerful forces. How could those panicked people be their opponents? So soon, massacres were staged in all streets and alleys in the south of the city, and there were many fearful corpses on the streets and alleys!
"These evil thieves are timid and cruel to the people, and deserve to die!"
After the Xiangguo man Ma Xing led dozens of warriors into the city, he saw a cramped alley filled with corpses. In the vicinity of his vision, there were dozens of terrifying bodies with death-like appearances. He was also creepy for a moment, and then his eyes were full of tears, gritted his teeth, and slapped his feet and scolded him.
The Fenwu soldiers who entered the city were not calm either, but they were less than venting their words. The soldiers who led the team listened for a moment and heard the sound of chopping and killing still coming from the alley. He raised his arm and pointed his fingers around, and then he divided several archers with strong bows and jumped onto the high walls on both sides of the streets and alleys.
Then the soldier lifted his sword and roared: "Kill the thief!" Then he jumped into the alley, and more than 30 powerful soldiers from behind rushed into it, and his figures were soon overwhelmed by the dark night.
Seeing this, Ma Xing felt a trembling heart again. Although he hated these bad behaviors of the Jie State Guards torture and kill the living people, he still felt more powerless and sad. He was also quite timid in his heart if he wanted to let him fight the murderers with his weapons.
But when Ma Xing saw the Fenwu soldiers rushing into it, his expression changed a few times, and he bit his teeth and rushed into the alley with his knife. However, there were many corpses in the alley, and he was staggering, especially the soft and muddy feeling of his legs and feet stomping on the body, which made him tremble and his foot tremble. He had to hold on to the wall next to him to move steadily.
Ma Xing walked into the alley only two meters away. A fishy storm suddenly rose in the night, and then a cold light only slashed out from the darkness. He caught off guard and felt that his hands and feet were cold and he had no way to hide.
However, the cold light suddenly retracted when it was about to reach its body, and then a figure jumped out and took Ma Xing's arm forward and grabbed the fallen arm. It turned out to be the soldier who had entered before.
At this moment, the man was covered with hot blood, and the rich evil aura could not be concealed and gushed out of his body. After he held Ma Xing, he said in a deep voice: "It's all killed!"
After a loud footsteps, all the Fenwu soldiers who had previously rushed into the alley returned to the entrance of the alley. After a short battle, they did not leave much traces. There were only more than twenty Jie soldiers who were probably dispersed. It was really not worth boasting to them that they surrounded and killed such small groups of murderers.
After returning to the alley, Ma Xing couldn't help but feel embarrassed by his own timidity, but the Fenwu soldiers did not look down on him. The soldier patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "There are still dozens of disasters inside, so please ask Ma Jun to stop him."
After hearing this, Ma Xing also removed the distracting thoughts and went in and shouted a few words. He only heard messy sobbing and crying sounds coming from the alley with a strong bloody smell. However, Ma Xing's gentle tone with strong local accent finally comforted them a little. Ma Xing called out that they were Chinese righteous men and helped their compatriots. If they wanted to survive, they could walk with them. For this reason, he even took the initiative to report to their homes.
But unfortunately, those people who had lost their lives were only willing to stay in a dark and cramped corner to save their lives, and the Ma family did not have the reputation of being able to convince the villagers.
Ma Xing's advice was not sincere. He said that the city was in chaos. After that, the thieves rose up and the alley was really unsafe. Only by gathering with them could they increase the chance of survival. But after half a quarter of an hour, only three or five people shrank and walked out of the alley, and looked at Ma Xing tremblingly, as if they were ready to escape back at any time.
Taking advantage of the slightest convincing the people, the lieutenant ordered the soldiers to scatter and explore several passages nearby. After confirming the way, the lieutenant returned to see Ma Xing leading several timid people with shame. He sighed in his heart and said, "There is no time left, it doesn't matter if I waste it here!"
While speaking, there was a noise and a murder sound from the alley between the walls, and the sound was spreading rapidly here. After hearing the sound, the people shouted by Ma Xing flew back to the alley like frightened rabbits.
Seeing this scene, Ma Xing's expression became even more dismal, but the Fenwu soldiers acted quickly and did not take into account his feelings. He was pulled up and involuntarily headed to another more open intersection. While running, he heard the sound of killing in the rear spreading into the alley where they had previously stood.
"Why is this so, why..."
Knowing that those people who had saved them before might not be able to survive, Ma Xing couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh, tears were already pouring out of the corners of his eyes, and he could clearly live!
However, this is true for the world. Everyone has a personal judgment. Even if they choose a dead end, they can at least get a short-term peace of mind. Good thoughts may not be accepted by others. In other words, if Ma Xing came from a famous family, he would not have to spend too much time and would have the refugees to follow him.
The chaos in the south of the city has been rising continuously, and it seems that there is no limit at all. After passing through several streets and alleys, the Fenwu soldiers finally adapted to the current environment. They cooperated with them and wandered around in small groups. After several fierce battles, although there were no losses, they were also often lucky.
While wandering, because of their bravery and no indiscriminate killing, hundreds of people who were temporarily dependent gathered behind them, and gradually reached a certain scale.
When the team passed a yard area, Ma Xing suddenly pointed to a closed mansion on the street and shouted: "This owner, Liu, has a marriage relationship with my family. We can go in for a while and take advantage of the situation."
The soldiers of Fenwu were also a little tired at the moment. After hearing this, they paused and followed Ma Xing to knock on the door. In fact, as soon as they approached, they were already shocked in the mansion. At this moment, there were many Zhuang servants on the walls of the mansion to draw bows to defend. Ma Xing stepped forward and shouted: "Can Uncle Liu Shi in the mansion? Ma Xing in the house attracts everyone to help..."
After a while, a sound came from the mansion, and they were told to go around the side door to enter.
There were also many corpses in the cramped alley. Ma Xing and others walked to a dark corner. He stepped forward and knocked on the door again. Only then did the torches lit up in the mansion. A small door opened a gap, and a dark arrow poked out and pointed at Ma Xing’s chest. Then a voice whispered: “Please go in alone.”
Ma Xing looked back at the Bingwei, saw that the Bingwei nodded slightly, and immediately stepped forward, and then he was pulled into it by someone.
