The carriage kept shaking.
My eyelids were heavier than they were. Sitting in the carriage that was constantly shaking forward, I felt tiredness coming in waves, and I was almost asleep.
But once I feel the pair of eyes and the hot eyes next to me, I will force myself to wake up and stay awake again.
Seeing me like this, Pei Yuanxiu did not persuade me, but just sighed lightly, reached out to squeeze the curtain that was shaking around, and compacted the wind-lifted curtain to prevent the cold wind from coming in.
We have been walking for more than an hour.
I was curled up on the couch in his room before, and waited until it was dawn outside, and they had also rectified the troops. Although I was already very uncomfortable at that time, and my face was even worse than he had been ill in bed before, I still gritted my teeth and insisted on walking out. If it were normal, Pei Yuanxiu would have forced me to stay in a warm and safe room, and no one or any other things were allowed to disturb me, but this time, he didn't say much and took me on the way.
However, we both got into the same carriage.
At this time, I no longer cared about the almost vicious eyes of Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong on the other side. The cold wind blew, which made the fire in my heart burn, and I was anxious, and even wanted to fly directly to the capital to find out.
Finally, in addition to the sound of the wind, there were also some other sounds coming from the front.
It seemed that there were many people in front of me who were busy talking and doing things, but it seemed that they blocked the road. After walking a while in front of our carriage, we stopped.
A horse walked up from one side of the carriage, and Xie Feng's voice came: "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Xie, let's fill in the road."
"Fill in the road?"
"Yes, a huge fireball hit here last night, and a big hole was hit, and even the road was broken. We knew that the young master was coming, but we were afraid that the carriage would not be able to move forward, so we hurried over to fill in the road."
“…”
"Sir, it'll be fine soon. Please wait for a while."
After saying that, those people became more busy.
Pei Yuanxiu sat by the window. Although his carriage was forced to stop, he was not angry. He waited patiently for the people in front to fill in the road and compact it. Then the carriage slowly shook forward.
After walking for a while, I felt that the car body was bumping a little.
I couldn't help but turn my head to look. The curtain was shaking and floating in a corner. I saw a huge dirt pit in the middle of the road, almost as big as half a house, but because they had already filled it with dry grass and wood branches, I don't know how deep it was, but there was a circle around the dirt pit, as if it had been burned by fire.
What's this?
I frowned when I saw it, and then Pei Yuanxiu also said, "Stop."
The carriage stopped immediately.
Everyone around stopped, and everyone looked at the half pale face exposed by his curtain lifting up, thinking he was going to order something, but he didn't say anything, just looked down at the filled pit and said, "What's going on?"
Xie Feng hurried up and said the words of the people who filled the hole.
Pei Yuanxiu heard this and remained silent. After a while, he waved his hand: "Let's go."
The carriage ran through the hay and dead branches and continued to drive forward.
After a while, we arrived at the city gate.
This place, before - perhaps just now, had a big battle. I lifted the curtain and poked my head out without hesitation. I saw the tall city walls, and the blood stains were as dazzling as fire. There was a scorched earth under the city. Although most of the corpses had been dealt with because we were coming, some of them had not had time to drag them away. The blood soaked in the soil, covering up the fragrance of the soil itself, and emitting a strong smell of blood. Even such a strong wind could not be blown away.
I almost couldn't bear to watch.
But at a glance, I saw the tall city gate ahead.
This night, I don’t know how many collisions and how many attacks I resisted, the two city gates were seriously damaged, and almost no rivets were left. One of them cracked from the middle, and the broken wood appeared from the mottled red paint, as if the bloody wounds on the human body were covered.
However, it was not here, but the North Gate that really captured the capital.
If even this place is so tragic, then I don’t know how cruel the North Gate is now.
I could not bear to look at it, but I couldn't put down the curtain in my hand. I could only lie by the window almost stiffly, watching the carriage drive into the city gate step by step, and let these bloody and tragic scenes enter my eyes.
I am not unfamiliar with this avenue.
I have been in and out countless times, sometimes with the emperor's clothes, and have fled in a panic. I can still remember how lively the prosperous capital had, with traffic and crowds. But now, everything has turned into desolation, and the shops that have been so large that they cannot see the original appearance; the once lively restaurants were also open, with blood flowing at the door, and there was no one inside; even some houses could see the tragic appearance of corpses and blood flowing all over the ground.
But, these are not all.
Just as our carriage was driving forward, suddenly, a few people ran over from the other street. They were messy and covered in blood. They were hiding in some places, but now they could no longer hide. Behind them, several cavalrymen riding tall horses waved their long swords in their hands, and made almost joyous whistling sounds, rushing towards them.
I suddenly shouted: "No!"
But as soon as I finished speaking, the leading cavalry had already rushed behind a man, and the long sword in his hand broke through the air and waved it.
Suddenly, the man didn't even have time to scream, his head flew up, and a stream of blood spurted out of his neck. His body was still standing on the ground stiffly, twitching for a moment before falling down dejectedly.
"ah--!"
I screamed in horror. When Pei Yuanxiu saw this scene, he immediately moved over, grabbed me, and reached out to cover my eyes.
But it was too late, and several other cavalrymen also caught up with other people, either trampling on horseback or slashing at them. In an instant, the people were already splattering blood on the spot.
