Chapter 638: The city breaks (1)

While calling the city on the horse, Xu Zhixun looked at Wang Zisheng, who was riding on the horse not far away from the corner of his eyes, thinking about how to find an excuse to end the call and leave this dangerous place. He also knew that the cavalry was protecting himself on the surface, but in fact he had another task to monitor himself. He was a surrendered person. He was in an embarrassing place. If there was a slight mistake in his actions, it would be a disaster for his own life. Therefore, Xu Zhixun knew that he was at the place where the arrows were under the city, but he still suppressed his fear and shouted loudly. He could only count on the guards at the top of the city to care about his identity and dare not shoot arrows. Xu Zhixun was in a sneaky mind, and suddenly heard a string in his ear. He had just subconsciously undulating his body, and he felt a dizzy turn and was dragged to the ground by his mount. His right leg was hurt, but the mount fell to the ground and pressed his right leg.

"Hurry! Protect Xu Xianggong!" Wang Zisheng, who was watching coldly, saw Xu Zhixun getting caught in an arrow on the mount. He shouted loudly and rushed forward. He used himself and his mount to protect Xu Zhixun, who was trying his best to pull out his injured right leg from the mount. Some of the other cavalry dismounted and helped Xu Zhixun get out of the trap, some held shields to protect Wang Zisheng and Xu Zhixun, and some opened bows to shoot arrows at the top of the city to protect everyone from retreating. After a long time of busyness, everyone protected Xu Zhixun, who was injured in his right leg, left the dangerous area under the city, leaving only a dead horse.

"Damn it, I just shot the horse!" Xu Wen cursed angrily, threw the bow in his hand to the ground, and shouted sternly: "Hurry up and chase the city, don't let this evil beast go!" But the generals and assistants on the top of the city looked at each other, and no one went to carry out Xu Wen's orders. For a moment, a wonderful atmosphere formed on the north gate of Guangling.

Xu Zhigao looked at the generals and assistants on both sides, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stepped forward to support Xu Wen, and whispered: "Enjoyed father, the situation outside the city is unknown. If you open the city rashly, you are afraid that it will be the best to be the one who is the pirate army in the throne!"

When Xu Wen heard this, he looked at the general on the top of the city. As his anger gradually faded, he felt the subtle atmosphere on the top of the city. He knew that the pursuit of the city was not a wise decision at this time, so he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A sense of sadness at the end filled his body. He couldn't help but subconsciously lean on his adopted son's arm and whispered: "I'm a little tired. Go back to the mansion to rest first. You should spend more time on the city. At this time!" At this point, Xu Wen shook his head, and didn't know what else to say for a while, so he had to turn around and go down to the city.

"I respectfully sent my adoptive father back home! Please rest assured about the matter here!" Xu Zhigao quickly bowed and bowed. In his eyes, Xu Wen's previously tall figure was a little hunched. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel sad.

When Xu Wen returned to the mansion, he felt sleepy and had to go back to the house to sleep. But for some reason, although Xu Wen was very sleepy, for some reason, he couldn't fall asleep and could only be in a half-dream and half-awake state, tossing and turning on the couch. After a long time, suddenly a loud noise came from the outside, like thunder. Xu Wen was not asleep deeply, and was immediately awakened. He rolled over and sat up from the couch, walked quickly to the window and pushed it open. He saw that there was already a fire in the distance, reflecting half of the sky as blood-red, just like the hell of the infinite. At this time, a strong wind blew from the south, causing a burst of shouts of killing!

"Come on! What's going on in the south!" Xu Wen shouted sternly, and his voice couldn't help but feel a little panic. However, Xu Wen shouted several times, but no one answered. Xu Wen had to turn around and take the sword from the wall, put on his clothes and push the door out to see what was going on.

When Xu Wen came out of the yard, he saw that there was already a mess outside. The servants and slaves all looked frightened and ran around the yard, like headless flies. Some younger maids even dirty their faces with coal ash. They dressed up in men's clothes, looking like a disaster was about to come. Xu Wen quickly called the leader to ask. The man answered carefully: I heard that the South Gate had been broken by the pirates. After the thieves entered the city, they set fire to rob the city. The city was already in chaos, and so on.

Xu Wen was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the situation would be so corrupt in just one night. He was afraid that the servant would not know the matter, so he hurried to the backyard. It turned out that there was a rockery in the back house of Xu Wen, and there was a small pavilion on the rockery. The terrain was quite high, and it could overlook most of Guangling City. When Xu Wen was panting and looked to the south of the city, there were indeed fires everywhere in the several yards near the south of the city. With the firelight, you could vaguely see that the former flag on the South Gate Tower had long disappeared. Obviously, what the servant said was not false, and the Guangling South Gate had fallen into the hands of the Zhenhai Army. Xu Wen thought for a moment and then

After reasoning out the whole story, it must be that Lu Fang learned from Xu Zhixun that the southern gate of Guangling was relatively low because the city wall was swamped outside the city, so he asked Xu Zhixun to call the city at the north gate to attract the attention of the defenders. At the same time, he sent elite troops to fill the swamp in the south of the city, and then suddenly launched a fierce attack, and indeed broke through Guangling City in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, Xu Wen couldn't help but feel like a knife in his heart. When he came to recuperate these days, he had thought about how he would end up after the defeat. But what he never expected was that the person who inserted a fatal blow in the back was Xu Zhixun, who had close relatives with him.

Xu Wen was feeling heartbroken in the pavilion, but at this moment, an old man in green rushed in outside. When he saw Xu Wen from afar, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Lang, why are you still here? Get out quickly. It will be too late if you are late."

Xu Wen looked closely and saw that the person who came was his old servant Xu Yu. This was Xu Yu who was the old servant of Xu Wen. He had been in the Xu family for three generations, and his loyalty was beyond doubt. Xu Wen was about to speak, but Xu Yu had already climbed the rockery and said anxiously: "Langjun, the pirates in the sea have entered the city, and all the troops were defeated without fighting. So quickly disguise themselves with his wife and find a way to escape. Don't delay any more."

But at this time, Xu Wen seemed to have lost his soul, not as smart and capable as usual, as if the heavy blow of parent-child betrayal had completely defeated him. He reacted very slowly to Xu Yu's urging. Seeing this, Xu Yu had to pull the master out of the yard, and his wife changed their clothes, cleaned up some fineness, and escorted out of the back door of the Xu Mansion by six or seven confidants, trying to get out of the city. Everyone came out of the mansion, but the city was already full of rebellion, hundreds of people swept over, calling their father and mother endlessly. Although Xu Wen's guard drew his sword and chopped over several people, trying to break out of a way, the power of the few of them was in this surging wave of people.

It was too insignificant. In just half a cup of tea, Xu Wen and his group were washed away. Apart from his wife and Xu Yu, the only one who was with Xu Wen was the close servant Xu Yu. The three of them were swept up by the crowd at this time, and they were like a small boat in the sea of ​​anger. They had no choice but to run around to fate. At this time, Xu Wen couldn't help but regret in the crowd. He had just recovered from a serious illness and was weak and weak. The possibility of escaping from the chaotic people was very small. Instead of being swept up by the chaotic people like this, they didn't know who died in the hands of someone, it would be better to stay in the Xu Mansion and fight to the death. Although it was a trapped beast, it was far better to be so good than this.

Xu Wen was carried away like this for about half an hour, and the crowd around him finally became less and less. Then the three of them found a loophole to escape, found a secluded alley to get in and sit down to rest. At this time, Xu Wen was exhausted and didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, so he sat down and gasped. After Xu Yu supported Xu's wife to sit down, he sat down to rest by himself. Since Xu Wen was injured, he has been in bed for more than a month, and today he ran so wildly.

After that, he sat down suddenly and felt his breathing rapid, his chest seemed to explode, his legs were no longer conscious, and it seemed that he was no longer his own. After a while, the muscles on his legs felt extremely sore. Xu Wen knew that if he didn't get up and move, sitting down like this would not be good for his body, so he stood up at the base of the wall, shaking his hands and feet, relaxing his overly tense muscles, and at the same time, looking around to see where he was now.

After looking at it, Xu Wen found that there were no other residents in the alley where he and his group rushed into. Judging from the shape and scale, it was quite large. It seemed that it was a place where officials and their families lived. The three of them were just sitting on the stairs on the porch. However, the spider webs in the porch were covered with dust, and the pair of animal door knockers on the door were also covered with copper rust. It was obviously dilapidated for a long time. Xu Wen looked quite familiar, as if he had been here before, but for a moment he couldn't remember who his mansion was.

Xu Wen was scratching his head and thinking hard. Xu Yu, who was beside him, also stood up and walked to the master and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, where should you go now? Should you go to Master Zhigao or pretend to leave the city? You have to think about it carefully!"

Xu Wen was thinking hard, but the word "Zhou" in the old servant's words was like a flash of lightning that broke through the sky, awakening the person in his dream.

"Isn't this Zhou Yin's house?" Xu Wen said in shock. He subconsciously took two steps and stepped in a blank. If it weren't for Xu Yu's hand, he would have almost staggered. It turned out that Yang Xingmi was seriously ill during his lifetime. Zhou Yin, the judge of Huainan Jiedu, believed that his son Yang Wo was arrogant and not a member of the family. He opposed Yang Xingmi's passing on the position of Huainan Jiedushi to his son Yang Wo, and advocated that the governor of Luzhou Liu Wei inherit the throne. Xu Wen, as Yang Xingmi's confidant, secretly sent Yan Keqiu to Xuanzhou to recruit Yang Wo, who was the Xuanzhou Observer at that time, at that time.

The troops entered Guangling and inherited the throne. Shortly after Yang Wo ascended the throne, he looked for an opportunity to retaliate against Zhou Yin and destroyed his clan. Everyone thought that the house was unlucky, so although he was in the government, no one was willing to buy himself to live there, so he was left vacant here. In this way, although Zhou Yin's death was not directly acted by Xu Wen, Xu Wen could not escape from the "Bo Ren's ridicule". Today, Xu Wen was at a loss and wanted to escape from the city with a strange look, but he ran to Zhou Yin's abandoned house by chance. If it was not a deterrent, it just happened that even Xu Wen himself would not believe it.

Xu's wife, who was standing beside her, suddenly saw Xu Wen's face pale, and her eyes stared at the closed door in front of her, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She had to carefully reach out and pat Xu Wen's shoulder and said, "Langjun, this alley is gloomy, it's not a place for long-term stay, so we'd better leave quickly!"
