Emperor Huai's expression was extremely unsightly, especially when more and more officials, regardless of his status as the Emperor, had fled in the past few days. They were truly being deserted by their relatives…
Emperor Huai had already decided to leave Luoyang, so he used a high-handed method to prevent any officials from refuting him. However, considering that there were not enough guards around him and the carriage was broken, Emperor Huai could only rub his hands and sigh at the ministers who stayed behind."I am the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. How can I not even have a carriage when I go out? This, this, this is outrageous!!”
Emperor Huai looked at Fu Di, who had just returned to court, and asked,""Minister Fu, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Heyin (now northeast of Luoyang and Mengjin) to prepare a ship for Your Majesty's arrival."”
Only then did Emperor Huai calm down. A smile appeared on his face. This person was a filial son and was good at controlling water. In 271 AD, Shenlai Weir was built. So far, there were no major floods in Yan and Henan. Talented people were hard to come by. To be able to stay in such a situation, it was obvious that he was a true loyal minister. However, he was already 68 years old. Emperor Huai did not have any more concerns when he thought of this and nodded in agreement.
Emperor Huai saw that there was nothing else to do. After all, it was just a trivial matter, so he retired early and returned to the palace.
After seeing the Emperor leave, Luqiu Chong came to Fu Ji's side and whispered,""Brother Zizhuang, Luoyang is the imperial capital. You just came back, so why didn't you persuade the emperor not to leave Luoyang? Once Luoyang was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
Fu Di also looked worried. He sighed slowly and said," His Majesty has already made up his mind. It's useless to say anything more. Why don't we think about how to let His Majesty arrive at Xun Xi's place safely? Sigh, this is the only way for now…"
Luqiu Chong also knew the Emperor's temper. Although he knew that it was useless to persuade Fu Di, was he really going to give up on the imperial capital of the past dynasties?？Ai, could it be that the Sima Clan's world really wouldn't last long?
Fu Di watched as Luqiu Chong's figure slowly disappeared into the distance, and he felt very upset. But what could he do now? There was no food if they defended the city. The hungry people in the city were constantly rioting. It was already chaotic without anyone coming in. What they could do now was to go to He Yin as soon as possible to repair the ships and arrange for His Majesty to sail as soon as possible. As for other things, as long as you are loyal to His Majesty and the Sima family, if Xun Xi really coerces the emperor to order the princes, I will definitely not forgive him!!!
in the Imperial Palace
The more Emperor Huai thought about it, the more he felt that time was of the essence. He couldn't suppress his uneasiness. He didn't want to stay in this dilapidated Luoyang for even a minute longer. Emperor Huai looked at the servants around him and waved his hand."Quick, go inform the ministers to set off for He Yin now!”
" Your Majesty, there is no carriage…" A young servant replied in a panic.
"What carriage? My carriage is in Yanzhou, not Luoyang! Hurry up, we'll set off on foot and have the ministers wait outside the palace gates. Don't bring anything, Xun Xi will prepare it for us! Let's go together."
"Yes…"
After watching the little chamberlain leave, Emperor Huai said to another chamberlain,""The imperial family's things have been packed up for the past few days, right? Bring them with you and don't leave them behind!”
"Your…Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Fu has already received an edict not to allow anyone to leave Luoyang to prevent officials from escaping.”
Embarrassment was evident on Emperor Huai's face. After a long while, he said,""It's fine, I'm Tian Zi…"
Luoyang Tongtuo Street
Emperor Huai's group only had a few dozen officials and guards. Most of them had already escaped, and they had already encountered several groups of bandits on their way out of the palace. To be precise, they were all madmen with red eyes who stuffed everything they saw into their mouths.
Emperor Huai was like a frightened bird. He kept asking himself in his heart, was this really Luoyang? Is this really my capital?
Reality immediately told him the cruel truth. Not long after Emperor Huai and the others arrived at Copper Camel Street, they realized that they were being targeted by even more bandits. Some of them were here to rob, while others were here to find food…
When Emperor Huai saw that his troops had been surrounded, his face turned pale. He regretted bringing so many things with him when he escaped. These were all necessities of the royal family and the painstakingly collected items of the previous emperors…
The ministers were also very flustered. This time, they truly felt that they could not stay in Luoyang for long. These lowlifes actually dared to rob the Emperor, especially those with red eyes. They actually ate human flesh!!
The guards and some officials who knew kung fu escorted the Emperor back slowly. Since there was no way to leave the city, it was better to hurry back to the palace. At least there was still the city wall to block them. Then, they would send someone to inform Fu Di to send troops to receive them.
As Emperor Huai and the rest were fighting with the bandits while retreating, they seemed to hear a woman's scream and cry for help when they passed by a dilapidated house. However, who could care less about the lives of these commoners at this moment!？
hovel
Aunty Hong's face was covered in five palm prints and her mouth was full of blood. Then, Aunty Hong was kicked to the ground. Aunty Hong held her stomach and struggled to get up, but she was immediately ridden by a man and beaten up!
Aunt Hong's mouth was already smashed, and some of her teeth were broken. The man stood up from her, his fist covered in Aunt Hong's blood...
When the fat leader saw the people who were running away and chasing after him slowly leave, he finally relaxed. He turned around and looked at Auntie Hong who was lying on the ground like a female dog. The fire in his heart rose again. He personally walked over and kicked Auntie Hong's head and body. He said angrily,"You bitch, do you want to kill me? I told you to scream, I told you to scream, call your mother!”
The fat leader cursed and kicked. This damned woman actually shouted for help when she heard many people passing by. My dozen men almost died in the hands of this bitch!
Auntie Hong had already fainted. When she heard so many people's voices, she thought that it was better to be eaten by those lunatics than to be sold by human traffickers. Eating them would only mean death. If she was sold, not to mention the hardships and humiliation along the way, she would be better off dead. If she was sold to others, she would only be able to make a living. She might be able to endure it, but Ming Yue could not endure such humiliation. What if they were reinforcements? Aunt Hong's adventure had failed, and in return, she had received vicious punches and kicks...
My consciousness was still unclear. It was even becoming more and more blurry. I could even vaguely feel that the two of me in my body were also fighting. Gradually, the soul that was 'me' gradually faded away, while the part that was the moon became clearer and clearer. My soul had already lost control of my consciousness and body and began to slowly fall into a deep sleep. From then on, the part that was the moon became the master of this body. She had all the memories, knowledge, and feelings that I had experienced. It also had an independent personality and was no longer an accessory of " me."
Ming Yue's subconscious slowly awakened, but this body had experienced a bumpy journey. In addition to the high fever and the broken limbs, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was in a dying state.
Mingyue could vaguely hear Auntie Hong's scream, but she could not open her eyes. The anxiety and pain in her heart turned into tears that flowed down from the corners of her eyes. The emotional fluctuations made Mingyue faint again...
At this time, Aunt Hong was already unconscious, but the fat leader's feet were still kicking. Jia Liu could not stand it anymore. This woman was meant for him to enjoy. If he continued to beat her, there would be no fun at all. He could only hurriedly say," Big Brother, stop fighting. The people outside have already left. If you continue fighting, this woman will be worthless. The brothels in Jiangnan don't want rotten meat…Besides, we've lost too much…"
Hearing Jia Liu's words, the fat leader stopped and spat at Auntie Hong with hatred.
"Big Brother, it's very difficult to get out of Luoyang City now. There are cannibalistic refugees and bandits everywhere. There should be many of our peers in the city as well. They will also go down to us…What should we do?”Jia Liu was changing the topic. He didn't want the woman in front of him to die. As she spoke, she squatted down to check for Aunty Hong's breathing. She was relieved when she saw that she was still breathing and was only unconscious.
The fat leader also felt that now was not the time to be calculative with a woman. Looking at Auntie Hong's appearance, he knew that she had indeed been beaten up badly. It would not be good for him if she really broke it. He regretted being ruthless. He squatted down and turned Auntie Hong over. He only felt relieved when he found that her mouth was only rotten. When he thought of the waiter who had beaten this woman up before, he was furious again. He stood up and went to the waiter to give him a few slaps. The shop assistant also knew that it was painful. He just covered his face and did not dare to say a word.
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to leave for a while. The fat leader looked at the dilapidated Luoyang City and felt a little desolate. No matter what, he was still a Han…
" Big Brother, we can't stay here any longer. Why don't we slowly retreat out of the city…" Jia Liu looked at the current situation in Luoyang City and felt a little flustered…
"Retreat where? When we came here, we heard that someone had ordered us not to leave the city. The two hours we had to clear the city is gone. It looks like the Hu are getting closer and closer.”
"Not to mention the Hu, the people in this city are almost walking dead. At night, there's the sound of bones being gnawed.”
"Retreat to the outer city first and wait for an opportunity. Let's go now!。”
"Big Brother, what about this child?"
The fat leader looked at me with disgust. Who would have the mood to take care of a dying child? Thinking of this, the fat leader said," What's the point of taking it? We might not be able to survive anymore. Why would we bring a dying burden?"？？I lost it, I lost it!"
"Yes…"
Just as everyone was packing up and preparing to leave the dilapidated house as soon as possible and move to the outer city, another "good" who had not spoken or moved much suddenly said,"Hero, leave this child to me. I can see that she's a good girl. She's just sick. Anyway, she can't leave the city now. Let me take care of her. I promise that I won't let her delay everyone. Besides, with her around, this woman will be more obedient…"
The fat leader glanced at the unconscious Aunty Hong on the ground. He thought for a moment and agreed. Although the clothes this child was wearing were a little dirty and torn, the material was not cheap. He was probably a child of a rich family. If he recovered from his illness and was raised for a few years, he might be a good child. Although he looked like he was about to die now, just look at the woman on the ground. When he grew up, his beauty would not be too bad. Moreover, even if he died of illness in the end, it would not cost much money. If someone was willing to take care of her, then so be it.
Fatty didn't say anything, which could be considered as acquiescence.
This woman in brown clothes slowly picked up the unconscious me on the ground, while Aunt Hong was carried by Jia Liu and slowly moved towards the outer city of Luoyang…
What would be the fate of waiting for the bright moon?？？
