Silence.
It was still as silent as before.
Yuchi Gong looked at the residential area in the darkness and could not help but feel a little disappointed and anxious.
Once upon a time, Yuchi Gong had never been so disappointed. Once upon a time, he always thought that the people would live and die with the city.
He had conquered many cities and it was pretty much the same. But now?
He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
The city gates could not be opened. The mysterious person outside was waiting for him to do so. His goal was clear. It was either the underground palace or the palace.
At this moment, the Guards Army Jinwu Guards and Qin Qiong's men were there and could not move at all. Qin Qiong was personally leading the formation there.
He did not dare to move. The only thing he could use was the one thousand men in his hands. Outside the city, Cheng Yaojin's men could not be moved. He could not even enter the city.
At this moment …
"General, are you really General Yuchi?"
"Yuchi Jingde?"
Just at this moment, a weak and crisp voice rang out in the darkness.
Hearing that, Yuchi Gong hurriedly looked over. He instantly saw a small face in the darkness. The moment he looked over, it shrank back into the darkness.
When Yuchi Gong saw that, he hurriedly got off his horse, "That's right, I am Yuchi Gong."
Hearing that, the little kid gathered his courage and looked behind him before tentatively walking out of the darkness.
The little boy was around seven or eight years old.
His clothes were in tatters, and his nose was dripping with mucus. His big, black eyes were glaring at Yuchi Gong's armor, and they were sparkling.
When Yuchi Gong saw that, although he was anxious, he controlled his temper and squatted down, "Little kid, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
"There was a fire, so I couldn't sleep well."
Yuchi Gong sighed, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Yuchi Gong like that, the little kid's courage grew. He walked up and touched Yuchi Gong's armor. Instantly, he retracted his hand like it was scalding him.
Just at this moment.
The little kid asked excitedly, "Are you really the General?"
Yuchi Gong nodded his head.
The little kid was so excited that he danced, "Then I will go put out the fire. If I put out the fire, can I follow you?"
Yuchi Gong was stunned.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Being a soldier, I heard that you can eat your fill. My family has a lot of people, but I can't eat every day. This is all because of those damned Turkic Tatars. My father said that when I grow up, I have to kill Turkic Tatars. Killing Turkic Tatars will give me meat to eat!"
"Also, I heard from Father that the Turks are attacking us, right?"
Yuchi Gong's eyes reddened as he took a deep breath and said, "I, Yuchi Gong, promise you that as long as you reach the age of 15, you will personally take this thing to the military camp and look for me! I will definitely take you in! "
As he spoke, Yuchi Gong pulled out a Modao and instantly removed a jade pendant from the Modao and threw it to the boy. When the boy saw this, his eyes instantly widened.
As if he had picked up a treasure, he let out a roar and rushed into the darkness. Then, he led a few kids who were as big as him and carried wooden buckets that were not much shorter than them, and rushed towards the city gate in high spirits.
Seeing this, Yuchi Gong took a deep breath.
He looked into the darkness.
At that moment, groups of commoners began to slowly walk out.
Yuchi Gong cupped his fists and said, "I will definitely report your kindness to His Majesty. I'll leave this place to you!"
As he spoke, Yuchi Gong mounted his horse and hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.
After Yuchi Gong left.
Only then did the crowd become bolder.
Someone looked at the group of children jumping around in the fire and couldn't help but roar, "Stop hiding and come out. Are you all worse than a child?"
That shout was like a heavy hammer.
It struck the crowd's hearts.
"What's there to hide? Didn't you hear the general say that there are criminals trying to enter the city? If we let them in, we'll be the ones to suffer. Everyone, take your weapons and attack! "
"That's right, don't just watch. If this thing really burns, we won't be able to live in peace either. Our houses might even burn down. Everyone, go put out the fire!"
"Motherf * cker, which bastard dared to do such a thing to give birth to a son that has no asshole? Motherf * cker, he really lacks virtue!"
"Let's go. There's a well in my backyard. Come and get some water with me!"
"…"
As the people here started to move.
The situation at Yanxing Gate was slightly under control.
With the help of the people, the fire at Yanping Gate was gradually being suppressed. Although there were still five places in Chang 'an City that were ablaze, the place outside the East Palace was the only place that was more serious.
The East Palace was already in chaos.
A large number of imperial guards, palace maids, and eunuchs scrambled to climb up the palace walls. They used bamboo poles or basins of water to water the burning trees outside.
Inside the palace walls, a large number of people were also hurriedly chopping down the trees that had been set on fire.
For a moment, the entire Chang 'an City was in complete chaos.
At that moment.
Li Chengqian had just arrived at the Illustrious Virtue Gate. Looking at the fire in Chang 'an City in the night sky, Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat.
It's over.
He was still too late.
