1135 The fleeing crowd, the chaotic streets



Yu Xiaoxiao led the big bosses to rob. If their opponents were just a group of ordinary guards, then this robbery would only be a one-sided robbery. It didn't take much effort for Yu Xiaoxiao to lead the big bosses to rob Lord Hong's house.

Looking at Lord Hong lying on the ground, the boss asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What's next?"

"Tie him up," Yu Xiaoxiao said, holding the big wooden box that she had her eyes on from the beginning, "Lock the door, and when we're done, let the Dali Temple come and arrest him."

The boss thought, why bother with this if we can just kill the people from the Temple of Eternal Life? But on second thought, he called out to the former pirates, "Beat them up again, and after they faint, tie them up and lock them up in the house." Although his princess often said that she wanted to kill this person or that person, but when you think about it carefully, his princess has never killed anyone. She doesn't laugh, but she is soft-hearted.

Someone was looting in the street. In the past, the subjects under the emperor would not tolerate this. But at this moment, who would care about upholding justice and fighting for justice?

“My whole family was killed.”

A middle-aged woman was running on the street screaming and falling to the ground from time to time, but she didn't seem to feel any pain and got up and continued running.

When the crowd heard the woman shouting that someone's entire family had been killed, they rushed towards the city gate, not caring whether the gate, which had been closed for a long time, was opened again.

Xiao Wei looked at the woman and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao, "She looks like someone from the Minister of War's Mansion. Why did His Majesty Su Zhao let her get away?"

Yu Xiao: "Letting a woman run away, that's nothing, right?"

Just as Xiao Wei was about to speak, an arrow shot from behind the woman and hit her in the back. After being shot, the woman ran forward a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground, being trampled by the panicked crowd, and soon her body was no longer in human form.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the archer, the man in black, who shot the woman to death with one arrow. He then immediately turned around and ran towards the direction of the Minister of War's residence.

"It's someone close to His Majesty Jingmo," Xiao Wei said to Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao said "oh" and said nothing more.

The eldest boss and his brothers tied up Lord Hong's family and locked them in the house. Then he ran back to Yu Xiaoxiao and saw that Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei were standing there without saying anything. He asked hurriedly, "What happened again?"

"Nothing," Xiao Wei said.

Yu Xiaoxiao put the boxes in her arms behind her and said to the boss, "We'll be done soon, don't forget them."

The eldest master said: "I will never forget this, Princess, why hasn't the prince consort come yet?"

Xiao Wei was also worried and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Yu Xiaoxiao tiptoed to look in the direction of the Imperial Palace, but could not see anything except human heads. Her Royal Highness had to go up to the roof again. The Imperial Palace was still ablaze, and countless people rushed to the four city gates. The roads out of the city were all crowded with people fleeing for their lives. Yu Xiaoxiao frowned, this plan was really too disturbing.

Xiao Wei also went up to the roof and looked at the street below. He said solemnly, "With so many people, how can we find the Prince Consort?" Gu Xinglang ran in the crowd. How could they find him?

"Over there," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed to the street three blocks away from them: "Xiangguan Iron Cavalry."

Xiao Wei squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and finally shook his head at Yu Xiaoxiao. He couldn't see that far.

"It's blocked," Yu Xiao said, "It's full of people. They can't ride their horses."

"Where is the prince consort?" Xiao Wei asked. He saw the local cavalry, so the prince consort should be near this group of people.

Yu Xiao: "There are people from the Eternal Life Temple around Xiao Gu."

Xiao Wei was shocked.

"I've seen these in Wuming Building," Yu Xiaoxiao flew down from the roof.

Xiao Wei also hurried down from the roof. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he heard Yu Xiaoxiao say to the boss: "I'm going to pick up Xiao Gu. You guys wait here."

Xiao Wei didn't have time to think about it. He stepped in front of Yu Xiaoxiao and said urgently, "Princess, you can't go alone. The people in the Temple of Eternal Life will recognize you."

"I'm dressed like this, and people still recognize me?" Yu Xiaoxiao said in disbelief.

"It's hard to tell if we're all together, and it's even harder if the princess goes alone," Xiao Wei looked at the crowded streets and said to the eldest boss, "The prince consort is three blocks away from here. Let's go together and walk along the wall. It'll be faster this way."

Can the boss say no at this time?

"The Prince Consort is accompanied by people from the Temple of Eternal Life. Go over there and get rid of them." Xiao Wei said, "Princess, how many people are there in total?"

"Four people," Yu Xiaoxiao pushed away a man who squeezed next to her.

The man staggered after being pushed by Yu Xiaoxiao, but after he stood firm, he ran forward with the crowd.

"Old No. 2, take a few people to watch over the things here," the eldest boss waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The screams of fear in his ears made Gu Xinglang anxious, and the killing intent in his heart became stronger. Jing Mo and others had planned everything, but the big shots missed one thing. What kind of torture would it be for Gu Xinglang to walk in the crowd of people running desperately and crying?

The four guys from Wuminglou followed Gu Xinglang, walking tremblingly but not daring to leave.

Gu Xinglang knew that something was wrong with the four people, but at this moment, Young Master Gu did not dare to kill them, for fear that he would lose control once he did so.

The Xiangguan Iron Cavalry was now blocked at the intersection by the crowd. They were all ordinary people. It was impossible for them to ride their horses to trample on the crowd. Who would pay attention to them when they shouted and screamed and wanted to escape?

"Dismount," the leader of the team finally gave the order.

Hundreds of elite cavalrymen abandoned their horses and squeezed into the crowd. Then the officers and soldiers discovered another problem. They could continue chasing, but after getting off their horses and without the advantage of the high ground, they immediately lost the trace of Gu Xinglang.

"You really want to catch the Third Young Master?" Another lieutenant squeezed to the side of the chief lieutenant and whispered, "The eldest young master said to kill without mercy, can you do it?"

The chief lieutenant said with a sullen face: "We have no choice but to chase them. If we stop and do nothing, how are we going to explain to the young master when we return?"

"Then let's follow the crowd," the lieutenant general said, "When we get to the city gate, if possible, let's help the Third Young Master get out of the city."

The lieutenant general in charge said nothing.

Young Master Gu had a plan in mind when arranging these two generals to lead the team tonight. Both of them are veterans of the local cavalry. They watched Gu Xinglang grow up in the barracks and have a deep affection for him. Young Master Gu believes that these two are the least likely to hurt Gu Xinglang.

Just as Gu Xinglang was trying to restrain his murderous intent and the two generals of the Xiangguan Iron Cavalry were about to let him go, a frightened horse dragged a cart out from the alley. Dozens of people on the street were instantly trampled to death or injured by the frightened horse.

The smell of blood rushed into Gu Xinglang's nostrils. A child who was separated from his family happened to run past Gu Xinglang crying, and was caught in the hands of Gu Sanshao.
