The queen must start from the head

Chapter 59
Outside the city wall of Tianhai City, the eunuch Yan Tao's face was bloodstained, his hair was loose, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes full of resentment.

"My god! Why do you want to harm my Tianhai City! What mistake did I, Yan Tao, make so that you sent down fire from the sky and burned all the people in the city? My God, tell me, why is this?!"

The prefect knelt on his knees, crying hoarsely.And his staff member He Yuanzhi stayed by his side every step of the way.

Behind the two, Xue Tong, the leader of the city guard army, wiped the blood and dust from his face, and counted the thousands of troops who escaped with him. of fear.

Behind them, the raging fire engulfed the entire Tianhai City like a huge mouth.

The sound of burning buildings, the sound of crashing to the ground, and the miserable screams of countless people in the burning fire, even if they stood outside the city, they could still hear them very clearly.

In the air, there was a distant smell of human flesh being roasted and burned, and even Xue Tong and other city guard men couldn't help but cover their mouths, trying to spit out something.

"My lord, don't blame yourself anymore!" He Yuanzhi saw Yan Tao's eyes began to lose focus, and he was a little crazy. He quickly stepped forward and pressed the other's shoulder, shaking him desperately to wake him up.

"My lord, none of this is your fault! You have tried your best, but the common people don't want to believe you, and God doesn't want to let us off in Tianhai City! None of this is your fault! What's more, we still have Hope is here, have you forgotten that there is Wushuang sect? Have you forgotten head Mu?"

"Unparalleled faction under heaven? Master Mu?" Yan Tao muttered a few words, his eyes gradually brightened again, "Yes, we still have hope, let's go to Luohuang Mountain, there must be surviving people there! Let's go, Let's go to Luohuang Mountain!"

As the prefect who had managed Tianhai City for decades, Yan Tao watched with his own eyes the fire that burned down the entire city that day.

In the process of protecting him out of the city, countless city guards fell behind him.Some were struck by flint from heaven, while others died by man-made disasters.The prefect's heart is about to reach the limit of collapse at this time. If there is no last straw to save him, he may really go crazy.

And He Yuanzhi's words gave him hope to find the last straw.

Xue Tong did not delay, and immediately counted the troops, and the group quickly set off to Luohuang Mountain to drive away.

Not long after they left Tianhai City, dozens of gray-white humanoid shadows emerged from the ground. They stared in the direction of Luohuang Mountain and communicated with each other in their own language.

"There are nearly [-] fish that escaped the net in that place, what should we do now?"

"If you run away, run away. There are more than 9 living beings in this city. It is enough to feed this time."

Immediately, these gray-white shadows drilled into the ground again, as if they had never appeared before.

In Luohuang Mountain, countless people scattered among the mountains and forests were all tearfully looking at the sky-flaming Tianhai City in the distance.Can't go back, their home, never go back.

"Mother, why did the city catch fire all of a sudden? Are my aunts and aunts and their family still in the city..." A little girl who had been smoked into a cat's face stretched out her small hand and pulled her mother, who was burnt. The corner of the skirt.

The mother bent down to hug her child, tears streaming down her cheeks from an angle the child couldn't see, and these salty tears kept flowing into her mouth.She blinked hard, trying not to let more tears fall.

"Auntie and Auntie and their family also ran out like us, but they went to a far, far away place... When Xiaoxiao grows up, shall we go find them?" She was talking , while gently stroking the child's little head.

If it weren't for their family living near the city gate, when the fire suddenly fell, the family packed up their belongings and fled out of the city as quickly as possible, they would have been buried in the flames by now.However, the child's aunt and aunt live in the center of the city, so the possibility of them escaping...is too small.

"Okay." The little girl named Xiaoxiao responded obediently.It may be a long time before she knows what it means to go to a place far, far away.

Not far away, Tang Zhengqiu and his wife Youshi looked at Tianhai City, which was billowing in smoke and burning into the sky, with a look of fear on their faces.Tang Zhengqiu couldn't help holding his wife's hand, and said earnestly, "Yurou, if you hadn't insisted on leaving the city, I'm afraid I'd be buried now..."

You Yurou hastily reached out to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

"Okay, I won't say anything, it's all up to you." He stopped talking, but hugged his wife tightly with both hands.

Today may be the luckiest day in his life, Tang Zhengqiu thought in his heart.

After more than an hour, the prefect Yan Tao and others rushed all the way, and finally arrived at Luohuang Mountain.

Not long after he went up the mountain, the people staying nearby discovered him.

"Master Taishou, Master Taishou!"

"Come and see, the prefect has escaped! There is Commander Xue!"

At the moment when the people surrounded him, Yan Tao, who was already an old magistrate with graying hair on his temples, was crying like beads with broken strings, and kept falling down.

"Okay, okay, as long as some of you are still alive!"

If you really think about it, he hasn't shed tears for more than ten years.But the total amount of tears shed today is more than the total amount of his previous life.

A gray-haired old man leaned on a cane, tremblingly, with the support of his children and grandchildren, walked up to the prefect, touched the mud, bowed his head and knelt down.

Yan Tao was startled, and quickly raised his hand to help, but the other party waved his hand and refused.

"If the Lord Prefect and Head Mu hadn't informed us early that there was a catastrophe coming, how could the little old man's family stand here safe and sound at this time? The grace of the Lord Prefect is to teach me to kneel and break this old bone." You can't get up even if you lose your legs!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the people around him also knelt down.

Those people who moved to Luohuang Mountain early expressed their gratitude to the prefect, but those people who escaped later wiped their tears and kowtowed to the prefect to apologize, straight to regret.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people rushed to hear the news, and finally nearly [-] people filled the entire mountain road.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Tao, who was both excited and sad, asked Xue Tong to send a voice transmission, asking everyone to go up to the Wushuang faction together, and then sit down and have a chat.

Under the archway of the Wushuang faction, today it is the little chubby Sun Zi who is in charge of standing on the newly built sentry tower beside the archway, guarding the gate of the sect condescendingly.

Sun Zi feels that he has always been a good boy who is serious and responsible for his work.

For example, at the beginning, he discovered that there was a fire where Tianhai City was located at the foot of the mountain, so he hurriedly ran to report to Manager Wu.Unexpectedly, Manager Wu just waved his hand and asked him to go to the door.

After a while, he found that many people were coming to Luohuang Mountain, so he then went to report to Director Wu, who said "Got it" and sent him back to watch the gate.

Right now, on the mountain road paved with bluestone slabs, a mighty team was coming straight towards the gate of our sect. Sun Zi ran away immediately, and he wanted to report to Manager Wu immediately.

At this moment, streaks of silvery-white light suddenly fell from a height like meteors in the sky, directly hitting Tianxia Wushuangpai.

Seeing that these luminous boulders were about to fall, a light blue semi-circular barrier suddenly appeared out of thin air. As soon as the boulders touched this barrier, they immediately turned into a pile of white powder and scattered with the wind. .

Wu Mei, who was studying the development plan left by the head of the house, suddenly heard a noise outside, and flew out immediately.In the open space in front of her door, Nanny Rong and Master Bodhi were already standing there, both of them were looking up at the sky.

Wu Mei also raised her head, only to see a light blue barrier now tightly protecting the sky above Luohuang Mountain, and countless silver-white and fiery red meteor-like things are falling on this barrier , but still unable to break through this barrier.

People from the Wushuang faction also walked out of the house at this time, looking at the change in the sky, they all knew that this barrier was the mountain guard left by the head to protect them.

Wu Mei's face turned serious. Could it be that the catastrophe of Tianhai City is not over yet?

　I caught up on the latest episode of Game of Thrones today. The scene after Dragon Mother burned King's Landing on fire was roughly similar to the scene I imagined when Tianhai City suffered a catastrophe, but the latter was even more tragic.Sometimes, people are really vulnerable in the face of various disasters.
