Chapter 157 The situation is moving [Request a ticket for a reservation]
Hu Qing is an idler in his thirties who has not yet made a living. He has no children, no daughters, no wife, and only a widowed mother at home.
The two struggled to get by.
Hu Qing usually makes a living by walking the streets and doing odd jobs.
Sometimes I can’t stand it because I’m hungry, so I go to sneak over the wall to pick locks and make a living by stealing things.
There is always no daughter-in-law, a man who lives in a miserable life. He often gets up secretly at night and goes to the next yard to listen to the corner to explain himself.
That evening, Hu Qingxing returned home in a hurry, his face full of joy.
is in a food shop in the city. I want to go to some leftovers from others. There is a little minced meat in the vegetable soup, and it smells good.
His family lived in a dilapidated yard on the edge of the city, with two loess houses that leaked air from all sides, barely able to shelter.
Hu Qing used an old wooden basket with the food he asked for and walked back home quickly.
The widowed mother was sitting in the yard. She was thin and bony. Because she had been short of meat for a long time, she was somewhat blind, and her legs and feet were inconvenient. She was wearing a rough old brown shirt, her face was sallow, and her feet were woven straw shoes.
Hu Qing fed things to his mother, and the two of them ate cleanly together.
Hu Qing finally passed through the gaps in the wooden baskets where the food had been placed, and used grass stalks to get out the food residues that stuck to them one by one, leaving no food left.
He put the wooden basket in the broken wooden bucket at home and rinsed it clean, smashed his mouth and said to his mother:
"I asked for these food today. I brought meat and oil, rinsed it with water, and the oil fell into the water. Next time I use water to cook other things. It smells like oil. It's definitely delicious."
"Yeah." Mother was also very happy and nodded slowly.
night.
Hu Qing, who had nothing to do during the day, was restless at night. He tossed and turned and listened carefully. His mother was already asleep.
Hu Qing got up on tiptoe, pulled his straw sandals, and came to the yard.
The sky is full of stars on the dome.
He probed into the yard next door, and then skilfully climbed over the low wall built with soil mixed with grass stalks.
There was a low voice coming from the room next door, Hu Qing licked his lips, rubbed his feet under the window, and began to eavesdrop.
"what…"
In the dead of night, suddenly I heard a cry.
Hu Qing was taken aback, such a big movement?
But immediately realized that the sound was not coming from the next room.
He turned his head and looked outside the courtyard.
Seeing the direction of the inner city, a ray of fire suddenly burst out, illuminating the night sky.
Immediately, there was a cloud of black air, like a demon dragon soaring into the sky, rushing up to a height of several dozen meters, and then suddenly collapsed, overwhelmingly pressing in all directions in the city.
Almost in an instant, most of the city was flooded with black air.
There were panic shouts in the city, and it seemed that the whole city was in a great panic.
Hu Qing's family lives in the corner of the city, and has not been affected by the black air yet.
Frightened, he ran home in three or two steps, and said to his mother, who also heard the movement and sat up, and said, "Mother, I don't know what happened in the city, I'm afraid someone from Qi or Zhao will call again.
I'll go out and see, don't move. "
Yanjing Border City has had many experiences of confrontation with Qi and Zhao in the past.
The mother was not so flustered, she nodded and said, "Be careful."
"I'll go to the door to see."
Before the sound fell, Hu Qing had already run outside the house.
But after a while, he ran back in a panic, put his hands in his arms, and carried his mother on his back: "Mum, there is a layer of black air outside, and people will die if they touch them.
I'm afraid we can't stay in this city, let's go out of the city first. "
While talking, he ran out with his mother behind his back.
His house has four walls, and he doesn't need to clean up, he can move house with his mother on his back.
As soon as Hu Qing walked out of the courtyard, he saw the door of the next courtyard opened, and a man and a woman with disheveled clothes rushed out.
The two were dragged and dragged, followed by three sleepy-eyed children behind them. The whole family, big and small, also ran out of the house. Obviously, like Hu Qing, they discovered the accident in the city, the black air spread, and planned to escape.
The man had a weathered face and an honest look, but his physique was still strong.
The woman is in her early thirties, she looks ordinary, but she has a plump body, and her clothes are half open in eagerness, revealing a touch of whiteness.
If in normal times, Hu Qing saw the woman's open clothes, he would probably not be able to walk, but at this time, he didn't care to take a closer look and said loudly:
"I know a way to get out of the city quickly. If you want to get out of the city, just follow?"
In a blink of an eye, the two families rushed into the street one after the other.
Hu Qing wandered around the city all day, but at this time it became an advantage. With his mother on his back, he was looking for paths that others did not know, and hurriedly shuttled.
——
Yan is a large town on the border between the Yan people and Zhao and Qi.
There are not a few troops stationed in the city, with a population of over 100,000.
Pei Yu and Yin Wugou followed all the way, crossed Zhaojing, and finally came to Jade City on the border of Yan people.
The team led by Zhang Song and Lu Xiu, who were following the plaintiff's mansion, were obviously well prepared and successfully passed the city gate and entered the Jade City.
Pei Yu and Yin Wugou followed them outside the Jade City, secretly communicated, contacted the Ye Yufu spy lurking in Yandi, and asked about the situation of the Jade City, and then they changed their appearance and entered the city with the help of the local spy.
They delayed for a while, and after entering the city, they had chased Zhang Song, Lu Xiu and others who had entered the city first from the Pingyuan Palace.
However, Pei Yu was good at tracking, and he was very good at it. After some operations, he found the clues again at night, and chased the location of the visitor from the Pingyuan Palace again after entering the city.
However, just as he and Yin Wugou were lurking in the dark, watching from a distance at the mansion where the diners of the Pingyuan Junfu were located, a change occurred in the city.
The fire blazed into the sky, and the black air spread to the whole city.
That black air was exactly what they saw in the mountains during the day, whether it was grass, trees or living beings, it would die if you touched it.
"Your Majesty..."
Pei Yu immediately passed the accident of Yucheng to Zhao Huaizhong through the bone mirror.
When Zhao Huaizhong opened the mirror, the city was already in chaos.
People were running on the streets, and the defenders in the city were responding.
But the Yan army was soon swept away by the black air, withered his body, collapsed and scattered like dust, as seen in the daytime.
On the streets, people who woke up in the dark, panicked and fled everywhere.
Hu Qing carried his mother on his back and followed the family next door.
They were standing in a slightly higher position at this time, they were trapped by the black air, and there was no way to move forward.
On the ground, the black air spread from the inside of the city to the periphery, and soon spread to the edge of the city, trapping them in the middle like a rising tide.
On the street not far away, many people found that Hu Qing and others were located on a higher terrain, and they came over one after another.
A total of ten people, leaning against each other.
A highland with a radius of several feet is like an island in the ocean, carrying the hope of everyone's life.
The black qi rhythmically rhythmically moves, and only after getting close can it be seen that what protrudes from the black qi is actually a thread as thin as a gossamer thread, as if it has life, entangling and attacking the people around it.
The gossamer in the black gas is like countless poisonous snakes, which is extremely strange.
Hu Qing looked terrified and looked around, trying to find a way out.
The family behind him was also anxious and panicked: "Hu Qing, you have led us to a dead end, there is black air everywhere right now, where to go..."
Hu Qing murmured: "There's nowhere to go, where to run?"
Behind him is the outer wall of a house.
The black qi spread from the city against the ground, and he was about to push his feet. Hu Qing turned around and came under the wall. His mother was thin and weak. He planned to lift his mother to the wall first to avoid the black qi.
Hu Qing's old mother was scrawny and light. She was held up in the air, but she managed to sit on the wall.
There was a scream behind him.
Hu Qing turned around, but saw that the man from the next door and several other people were being approached by black energy one after another.
Before the man died, he tried his best to hand the child he was holding to the woman behind him.
The strength of that woman came from somewhere, carrying a child on her back and two under her arm, her expression terrified but determined.
She and a few others ran to Hu Qing's position, and also wanted to climb the wall to survive.
Hu Qing had planned to go up the wall by himself, but when he saw the woman approaching, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and rushed to pick up the woman.
The two joined forces, the old mother answered on the wall, and quickly pushed the three children to the wall.
He backhandedly supported the woman and sent her to the wall.
Women use both hands and feet to climb hard.
Hu Qing's hands supported the woman's waist and buttocks. This was the place he had hoped for many times in his dreams, and finally got his wish.
But at the same moment, the black gas approached, the hairspring protruded from the back and touched Hu Qing.
The woman climbed up the wall, and when she turned around, she saw that Hu Qing had been wrapped around his ankle by the filaments in the black air.
The expression on his face froze: "Help me take care of my mother..."
His eyes were fixed on his mother, and before his voice fell, he had already fallen into the black air.
On that wall, Hu Qing's mother was running around with her son on her back. She never made a sound along the way. At this moment, she found her son fell and died, but she suddenly opened her mouth and howled in a piercing way.
She jumped, jumped off the wall, and fell into the black air with her son.
On the wall, the woman hugged the three children who were screaming in terror.
She and the other two who climbed the top of the wall looked at the house next to the top of the wall not far away.
Climb up to the house, she and the child can live a little longer...
——
Xianyang Palace, Wuying Hall.
Zhao Huaizhong was expressionless, staring at the picture in the bone mirror.
Yucheng on the border of the Yan people, the chaos quickly subsided.
The city was dead silent, and the black air spread out, completely engulfing the whole city.
What is black gas?
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and Jiang Yan came in from behind the door.
She woke up in the middle of the night and found no one around her. After getting up, she came over and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep late at night, Your Majesty?"
She walked closer and saw the picture in the bone mirror, and suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, the jade city shown in the mirror has undergone a new change.
The black air in the center of the city shrunk suddenly, and the hairsprings in the countless black air flow back, and the hairsprings are poured and wrapped to form a human-shaped object.
As the retracted black gas increased, the humanoid object continued to grow and became larger, suspended above the city, and its shape became clearer and clearer. It was actually a dark armor.
The black energy that spreads throughout the city is released by a piece of armor?
The incantations circulating on its surface are like countless little snakes swimming on the armor.
The black air that filled the city continued to shrink and converged on the blades of the armor.
Soon, the black energy in the city was absorbed by the armor.
And in the center of the city, there was a woman in a colorful robe, together with more than ten other people, lifted into the sky and came to the armor.
The woman opened her mouth, and her face suddenly turned into the head of a giant python.
Her body was also stretched into a colorful python, with scales that stretched and closed, towering like a mountain peak.
She opened her mouth, and in the Jade City below, there was a cloud of blood, which seemed to be the blood of the countless Yan people who died in the city, and all of them were swallowed by the giant python.
"Demon King." Zhao Huaizhong narrowed his eyes.
The few people who took off with the giant python were Zhang Song, Lu Xiu and others from the diners in the Pingyuan Junfu.
"The people in Pingyuan's mansion are connected with the demon clan... They destroyed a Yanjing border city to enhance the power of that strange armor..." Zhao Huai pondered.
At this time, in the picture displayed by the mirror, the banshee who turned into a snake slowly turned her head, and the icy snake eyes looked towards the direction of the mirror.
Lu Xiu, a diner at the Pingyuan Jun's Mansion beside her, and others also looked at the location where Pei Yu and Pei Yu were hiding at the top of a building in the city.
In the picture of the mirror, the last thing that appeared was the huge snake head of the banshee.
It instantly spanned a distance of several dozen meters, approached quickly, and kept magnifying in the mirror.
The image transmitted by the bone mirror shook, apparently Pei Yu and Yin Wugou were responding.
After a while, the picture became pitch black.
Zhao Huaizhong felt Jiang Yan's hand on his shoulder, and suddenly tightened.
looked back and saw a look of panic and sadness on her face.
"Someone colluded with the demon clan to cultivate that kind of armor-like evil magic weapon in Yandi?" Jiang Yan asked softly.
"Um."
Zhao Huaizhong patted the back of her hand and found that her hand felt cold.
"The people in the house were discovered by them?" Jiang Yan asked again.
"It will be fine." Zhao Huaizhong comforted.
Night Palace.
Baiyao was lying on the bed in his clothes, and even in deep sleep, he still wore that hideous bronze mask on his face.
In the night, he quietly opened his eyes.
At the same moment, the voice of Zhao Huaizhong inviting him into the palace came from his ears.
Baiyao immediately sat up from the bed and disappeared.
