Volume II Chang'an Raging Fire Chapter 75 The Source of the Plague (5)
In terms of aura, Ouyang Bingyan is indeed very much like the leader of a country. She stood at the head of the group, with a little sadness mixed in her indifferent expression. She said lightly: "I'm back."
All the military and civilians knelt down and bowed, "Welcome the Queen to return to China..."
The Kingdom of Loulan is not big, and it is not even as good as the small towns in some places in the Yan Dynasty. The population is only tens of thousands, but it is all silky, the men are strong and burly, and the women are tall and gentle. If it weren't for the outbreak of this plague, this place would be a very happy place.
Ouyang Bingyan is also a figure who can manage such a small city in an orderly manner.
"Her Majesty the Queen." A middle-aged man wearing a black robe, a sapphire hat and a goatee walked towards him and performed Western etiquette.
Ouyang Bingyan nodded and asked, "Wu Yan, what are the casualties in the city?"
Wu Yan sighed softly: "When the poisonous people attacked, we defended in time, and there were no casualties yet, but with our fortifications, we may not be able to hold on for too long."
Yan Yunting jumped off the ink boat at this time and smiled and said, "Fortunately, no one of you was injured, otherwise one person would be infected and the whole city would be ruined."
"This is..." Wu Yan looked at Yan Yunting.
Yan Yunting smiled and said, "The Queen's Flower Protection Messenger."
Wu Yan's eyes were a little surprised, and even some hostility was hidden.
"Okay, don't talk about it. Time is life now, you can't afford to delay it." Yan Yunting's expression became serious and said to the military and civilians in Loulan:
"Now, the elderly, weak, women and children line up in sequence and board the ink boat."
The Loulan military and civilians looked at me, looked at you, pointed at you, and were accompanied by noises from time to time: "Who is this Han man? Why should we get on the boat?"
Yan Yunting looked at the night sky, and pointed out a finger, and then said loudly: "I will only give you a quarter of an hour. When the time comes, I will drive the boat. If you want to survive, hurry up." After that, he turned around and jumped onto the ink boat, waiting quietly.
"Listen to the people of Loulan Kingdom, this ship is our only chance to escape. The elderly and women and children should get on, hurry up!" Ouyang Bingyan shouted loudly.
After the Queen issued the order, the people boarded the ship one after another.
There are more than 10,000 people in Loulan, and the elderly, weak, women and children occupy most of them... The deck, cabin, bottom warehouse, and even the toilet are used, but they still cannot be fully installed.
"A quarter of an hour has arrived, we are about to set sail." Yan Yunting signaled to the sailor.
The sailors separated the crowds and pulled the connected stairs back to the ink boat.
"Child! Take my child away, please!" A woman held the baby girl high and tiptoed to send it to the boat.
"Sister, there is no seat on the boat. Besides, if you give me the child, I can't help you raise it." After hesitating for a few times, the sailor still refused cruelly.
"Yan Yunting, why don't you give me some more time? This boat can sit on the side of the boat, and there can be a few more hanging on the pole, and there can be a few more stuffed on the bow..." Qing Yan quickly walked up to the bow, trying his best to save the person.
Yan Yunting stared at the corpses gradually gathering outside the city and refused decisively: "It's too late, the poisonous people led out are about to return, and everyone will die if they don't leave."
"You think of another way..." Qing Yan looked at Yan Yunting, her eyes flashing, and she was so pitiful and charming.
But this time, Yan Yunting turned around and his voice gradually became colder: "You are beautiful, and I am indeed interested in you, but this is definitely not the bargaining chip you used to ask for me. If I say I don't add it, I don't add it. If I say I don't save it, then I will not be saved."
Qingyan was not disappointed, only a faint sadness. She shook her head, "I never used myself as a bargaining chip to ask you. I will come to you just for the people of Loulan, that's all, that's all..." After saying that, she turned around and jumped off the bow of the ship and joined the confrontation of the military and civilians on the city wall.
On the ink boat, the elderly, weak, women and children looked reluctantly at their sons or husbands, and the hometown they were about to leave. However, the men who stayed were as firm as steel, and without weapons, picked up farm tools and faced the poisonous people carrying one by one to the city walls.
"Master Wujie, what should I do?" Yan Yunting took a deep breath, his heart a little confused.
Wujie said slowly: "When you are wandering between picking up and letting go, you actually have the answer in your heart."
"But I am not a monk, I don't want to go to hell. Whoever loves to go to hell will enter!" Yan Yunting slowly closed his eyes and ordered: "Down the boat."
The ink boat rose up and flew slowly out of the city. When it passed by the city wall, besides the wailing of the poisonous man, the crying and calling suddenly made a big fuss:
"Wife, you must take good care of our children!"
"Mom, you have to live well!"
"Dad, dad..."
There are women and children on the boat, and there is helpless weakness in the crying; there are men on the wall, and there is strength in the shouting.
Yan Yunting covered his ears and gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't resist the bursts of crying. With a kind heart, why bother to hide it?
"Damn it!" He cursed inwardly, and then ordered Wujie: "Master Wujie, I will leave this ship to you!" After that, he resolutely jumped off the bow of the ship.
Yan Yunting fell quietly beside Qing Yan. Qing Yan looked at the man who fell from the sky, his eyes slightly red, "Yan Yunting, I knew you would come back..."
"You owe me again, but remember to pay it back." Yan Yunting asked again without delay, "Don't you have a 'mirage ship' in Peacock Tower? It's time for it to come in handy."
Qing Yan pointed to the mirage ship parked under the corner of the inner city wall, "But the mirage ship cannot fly, and it is much smaller than the mirage ship."
"At present, some can be saved," Yan Yunting greeted: "Hurry, let the remaining old men and children get on the boat, and the others will join me to escort the Mirage Ship away!"
At this time, Yan Yunting seemed to have become the leader of the battlefield, and everyone trusted him without reservation.
Children ride on adults' shoulders, while adults sit one after another, trying to squeeze out more space to save one more life. After a while, the remaining elderly and children all boarded the boat and even made a lot of space.
"The people who didn't get on the boat will gather under the city. After opening the city gate later, you will be able to cover the mirage ship to evacuate. You must see it. Once a drug man is on the boat, your relatives and friends will not survive!"
Yan Yunting pulled out his courage. For some reason, the sword in his hand was particularly dazzling tonight, and he could even feel the courage coming from the sword.
Positive spirit!
Take courage!
Not bad! A passionate man is full of courage!
"Open the city gate!"
"The sisters of Peacock Tower and the soldiers of Loulan Kingdom, for our beloved relatives and friends, and for our bloodline inheritance, we will fight out with me!"
"kill!"
The shaking city gate collapsed, Ouyang Bingyan led nearly a hundred visitors to the Peacock Tower to rush out first, and the Loulan soldiers and civilians also rushed forward together, and courage and anger burst into an unstoppable momentum. The corpses blocked at the door were broken through a hole.
