Su Mo stood on the roof and didn't come down for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The city was in shambles, smoke was everywhere, and the cries of women were everywhere.
Orchid came to the roof and stood quietly next to Su Mo, she looked at Su Mo, at this time Su Mo's eyes had a sense of déjà vu, and it was the emperor who appeared in front of Orchid's eyes.
By nightfall, the city had almost been swept away, and when all the soldiers had left the city, Su Mo walked down the roof.
Su Mo called seven guards, only Orchid and Su Mo were very close to each other at this time, and the other six were all newcomers, and they didn't treat Su Mo very well.
Su Mo left the orchid to guard the family and came to the palace with the other six guards. Seeing the emperor, Su Mo was worried.
"Your Majesty, have all the soldiers in the city been taken away by my eldest brother?" Su Mo asked the emperor worriedly.
"Yes, even the officers and soldiers guarding the city have been taken away." The emperor was also very worried.
"Even most of the men in the city have been taken away, so if there is an invasion by the armies of other countries, won't the capital be slaughtered?" Su Mo looked very worried.
The emperor got up slowly, dragged a heavy body and approached Su Mo, the emperor held Su Mo's hand, and tears flowed down. "My emperor has existed in name only, in front of that general, I have no deterrent power at all, even his lieutenant general dares to shout at me, now the country is finished, all the princes have risen together, our land has been divided and there is not much left, as an emperor, I really have no way."
Seeing that the emperor was so pessimistic, Su Mo had lost his previous domineering spirit at all, Su Mo thought to himself, what happened in the palace in the past few days, and made the emperor look like this.
"Your Majesty, you must cheer up, the old and weak women and children in the whole city are looking forward to you!" Su Mo sincerely told the emperor about the people's feelings.
The emperor took a few steps towards the door, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha...... Emperor? Do you think I still look like an emperor now? There is no one waiting around, even the eunuch was taken away by Chang Shipeng, and now there are few men in the city, right? It has become a city of women! The emperor laughed and shed tears.
Su Mo pounced and knelt behind the emperor. "Your Majesty, what should I do next? What will happen to the people of the city? Su Mo said to the emperor with an expectant look.
"What to do? What do I do, you ask? Does my speech work? Besides, even if it really works, does anyone listen to me? The emperor patted his head and was very depressed.
Su Mo saw that the emperor had become so decadent, he knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it was useless, rather than this, it was better to find a way to save the people by himself.
Walking out of the emperor's study, Su Mo walked around the palace, looking at the grass and trees in the palace, Su Mo seemed to understand what was going on with the emperor.
The grass and trees in the palace have been cut down and trampled, this must have been done by my brother's soldiers, and now there are few people in the palace, and those big men who have taken refuge have also returned to their respective homes. Su Mo was very strange, what made the emperor like this? Could it be that my brother tortured the emperor? It shouldn't be! When his father was executed, his brother clearly said that he would not rebel, but if he thought about it carefully, his brother was indeed crazy more often than when he was calm, could it be that his brother persecuted the emperor when he was crazy? What's going on? What the hell happened to my brother? Thinking of his brother's impermanence, Su Mo was very confused.
Su Mo led the horse and walked home, on the way home, Su Mo looked at the chaotic streets, there were blood stains everywhere, some of the corpses had not been claimed, and every house closed the door, and all that came from the gate was the cry of a woman.
Some of the women who had lost their entire families sat helplessly next to the man's corpse, their faces devoid of tears, their eyes glazed and dark.
The women whose hands had been cut off lay helplessly in the street, wailing and crying around their daughters.
Inside the closed door, only the cries of children were heard from some people's homes, and Su Mo knew in his heart that the adults must have committed suicide.
Inside the unclosed gate, there was an old woman lying on the ground, and there was not a single crying person around her, which must have caused the whole family to be mutilated by the soldiers.
The flames of the burning house have gradually been extinguished, and the woman sitting in front of the house is holding the girl, she has no hope for life, and it is only a matter of time before she commits suicide.
Su Mo walked gloomily, looking at every tragic picture.
When he walked to a rich house, he saw a girl of three or four years old lying on her stomach at the door, the girl was wearing a flower dress, two pigtails, her face was dirty, and she was eating the weeds outside the house. At this time, out of the house came a subordinate who poured swill, this subordinate saw the girl gnawing grass at the door, and directly poured a bucket of swill on the girl, the girl cried out wow, saw the girl crying, the subordinate who went to the swill kicked the girl with his foot, the girl's dirty face shed a deep tear, the girl cried very helplessly, the girl wanted to climb away from this place, but the subordinate saw the girl crawling away step by step, and dragged the girl back, followed by a burst of punches and kicks.
Su Mo saw the girl being beaten and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. "Assistant." Su Mo shouted loudly.
The subordinate glanced at Su Mo, he knew that this was Master Su, so he didn't dare to speak, and walked into the courtyard.
Su Mo squatted down to help the girl up, and saw that the girl had a pair of big watery eyes, the big eyes were very shining, and the girl with a tear-stained face looked at Su Mo pitifully, Su Mo wiped the tears for the girl with her hand, and the girl stopped crying.
Su Mo tried to help the girl up, but the girl couldn't stand on her feet at all, Su Mo touched the girl's legs, saw that there were no external injuries, and wondered if the bones were broken, so Su Mo picked up the girl and walked home.
Back at home, Su Mo hurriedly asked Xiaoyu to get the girl something to eat, and Xiaoyu got the girl a bowl of rice and a little pickles. The girl looked at Su Mo and them, not daring to eat.
"Eat, don't be afraid." Su Mo said softly to the girl.
Seeing that Su Mo had no malicious intent, the girl picked up the rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp.
Seeing that the girl was eating deliciously, Su Mo showed a hint of a smile.
Seeing that Su Mo was so loving, the six guards who had a grudge against Su Mo all showed a hint of a smile when they glanced at each other, and they affirmed Su Mo from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, in a small village thirty miles east of the city, a group of bandits from the north ransacked the village, and the bandits' spies inquired about the news of the capital, and the bandit leader wanted to take the opportunity to sack the capital after hearing the news.
"Hahahaha, the capital will be hit hard by this, as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, there must be sweetness in the city, just tonight, we took the opportunity to loot the capital and capture the emperor alive." The leader of the bandits said viciously to his subordinates on his horse.
It's really a wave of unsettled waves, can the people of the capital escape this fate?
