Since your hands and feet are also unclean, and you are also worthy of the cultivation of the imperial court, then, if you want to die, it is your own business, why drag us to be buried? We don't have as much consciousness as you. Your old man is willing to accompany Xi'an City to the end together, we support it spiritually, but the actual action is exempt.

With such thoughts, they naturally won't take Huang Kezhang's reprimand seriously. Some people began to close their eyes and recuperate, silently pondering their own affairs. Some people are secretly thinking about how to make a lot of money when they leave Xi'an Mansion. Don't look at the current situation, it is very dangerous, in fact, as long as you have enough guts, you can still fish in troubled waters. Anyway, in a state of chaos, no matter what was done, no one else knew.

"You ...... How can you be worthy of the country? How can you be worthy of the imperial court? How can you be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor? Huang Kezhang found that his subordinates were all absent-minded, and the frustration and disappointment in his heart really didn't know how to describe it. He never thought that his subordinates would have such an outrageous reaction. What a disappointment. There was no way, he had no choice but to move out the country, the court, and His Majesty the Emperor.

However, no matter how passionate Huang Kezhang's tone was, the officials below still looked disapproving and absent-minded. Even, some people have begun to get tired of Huang Kezhang's tirade. Their gaze kept wandering outward. The white-clothed army is killing violently, but Huang Kezhang is still talking here, he is simply looking for death! Did he really want to bring all the officials of Xi'an Mansion into the prisoner camp of the White Army?

Someone looked around him and couldn't help but muttered loudly on purpose: "Your Excellency Governor, the white-clothed army is about to descend into the city, should we go outside to have a look?" No matter how much we talk here, we can't scare the white-clothed army away! ”

This benevolent brother has made up his mind, as long as he is outside, he will immediately look for an opportunity to escape. There are quite a few officials who have the same mentality as him. They also muttered deliberately. The living room, which was originally quiet, gradually became noisy. Huang Kezhang's speech was gradually muffled by bursts of grunts. Some officials deliberately spoke loudly to interrupt Mr. Wong's tirade.

Knowing that it is a dead end, and continuing to stay here, that is the real stupidity. The white-clothed army is coming, will there be good fruit for us people to eat? You Huang Kezhang want to be loyal to the court, that's your business, but you can't tie us all here! We didn't get any benefit from the court. The little belongings that have been accumulated with great difficulty are also obtained through the exploitation of the common people, and they seem to have nothing to do with the imperial court. If there is no such possessions, then it is really better to live than to die.

Huang Kezhang said angrily: "You people, holding the court's money, but only thinking about saving your surname, how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors......"

Someone deliberately muttered loudly: "Governor Huang, you have caught enough yourself, we haven't caught enough!" You want to die yourself, but don't bother us! After you die, you want to get a watch from the court and protect your family. That's your freedom. But we don't want to! We're all young and want to live a few more years! ”

Huang Kezhang's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect his subordinates to say such things. This is simply a serious slander of his reputation as Huang Kezhang. What does it mean to want to get the court's favor and protect your family after you die? It's a fart! You can't be shameless like this. However, this kind of statement has been approved by others. As soon as these words came out, everyone present echoed them. Some even shouted gloatingly.

The officialdom of Shaanxi Province naturally cannot be monolithic. In normal times, there are many people who hate Huang Kezhang, the trilateral governor, but they are afraid of his power and dare not openly question it. However, at this time, there is nothing to worry about. They unscrupulously vented their anger on Huang Kezhang. They complain all the time, and they really dare to say anything. This made Huang Kezhang feel even more angry and feel very distressed. How did the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty degenerate to such a point?

Huang Kezhang admits that he is still relatively incorruptible. There are quite a few of these officials in private, and their hands and feet are not clean. For these guys, Huang Kezhang means that he will naturally be punished. However, behind each of them, there are groups of people supporting them, and he can't take any effective measures against them. Unexpectedly, at this time, they actually beat a rake and said such shameless words.

Before the words fell, someone outside suddenly ran in in a hurry and stammered: "Lord Governor, the people from the Qin Palace's Mansion have left." ”

Huang Kezhang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while.

However, the other officials around him exploded at once and screamed one after another.

Who is King Qin? He is the landlord of Xi'an Mansion. In Shaanxi, if you want to say who has the highest status, it is this King of Qin. His power is not the greatest, but his status is definitely the highest. He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor Lao'er, he is the highest status of the vassal king. Even the governor of the three sides, Huang Kezhang, in front of him, had to salute in a proper manner.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family, without the emperor's holy decree, the king of Qin could never leave Xi'an. Otherwise, it is a felony such as rebellion. The lightest punishment will be reduced to the common people. Severe punishment may lead to the killing of the head and the seizure of the family. However, now, even King Qin can't hold on? Have you fled? Oh, my God! This world is really all messed up!

There is no doubt that King Qin was definitely instigated by King Qing. When King Qing was in Ningxia City, he had already run once, and it was estimated that he was addicted to running, and it was one thing not to run away. Hearing that the large army of the White Clothes Army was coming, he definitely wanted to continue to run.

Poor King Qin, it is estimated that he couldn't bear it anymore when he saw King Qing's movements. Anyway, if the court wants to punish it, it will also punish the two vassal kings at the same time. No matter what you say, the board will not fall on King Qin alone. Besides, it's better to lose the identity of the vassal king than to lose the surname. The little life is gone, what else to say?

Hearing that the King of Qin had withdrawn, the officials present couldn't sit still. They all wanted to follow King Qin immediately and flee from Xi'an. With King Qin, the ghost of the dead, on top and people below, you can rest assured. Even the people who couldn't escape from Xi'an Mansion did not hesitate to flee, what else were they worried about?

Just when he was sitting on pins and needles, someone hurriedly came to report: "Your Excellency the Governor, General Zhao and General Sun have all retreated one after another." The troops they brought with them were all scattered. Some retreated with the two commanders-in-chief, and some scattered in the city. Now, many stragglers are burning and looting in the streets, and there is chaos outside. ”

Huang Kezhang's eyes suddenly straightened, as if he couldn't move anymore. If it is said that the escape of King Qin, it is a heavy blow to him. Then, the escape of the two chief officers is a fatal blow. Without these two commanders and the troops under their command, what would he Huang Kezhang do to protect Xi'an City? What to use to stop the attack of the White Army?

The other officials glanced at each other, and then they exchanged their minds and dispersed in a hurry. They ignored Huang Kezhang in a daze, hurried back to their respective territories, quickly packed their things, and joined the ranks of the fleeing army. For a time, the most lively thing in the entire Xi'an Mansion was the East Gate. All sorts of carriages, carts, tricycles, and chicken carts were crowded together, blocking the city gates. All kinds of shouts came and went.

Everyone in Xi'an Prefecture, as long as they have the conditions, wants to evacuate this dangerous city as soon as possible. Especially after the defenders were all dispersed, the entire city fell into extreme panic. Whether you know the truth or don't know the truth, you just want to escape from Xi'an City as soon as possible. I am afraid that if I go one step too late, the butcher's knife of the white-clothed army will come down. It is rumored that the white-clothed army wants to wash Xi'an City in blood, and not a single corrupt official will be spared.

The general soldier Zhao mentioned by the spies earlier is the chief military officer of Guyuan Town. And General Sun is the deputy chief military officer who came from Shanxi. Due to the lack of troops to defend Xi'an City, the imperial court transferred some troops from Shanxi Town, Datong Town, and Xuanfu Town to reinforce Xi'an City. Originally, Huang Kezhang also hoped that they could play a little role and boost morale. Now, both of them have run away, and naturally nothing is going on.

When those officials ran out of the governor's yamen, the entire Xi'an Mansion was already in chaos. The streets were full of people running away. Everyone desperately scrambled to escape. Those who know the truth and those who don't know the truth are running desperately. There are also people who are taking advantage of the fire to rob. Many masked people, armed with bright knives or firearms, looted, annihilated, and killed people everywhere. Others, don't mask at all.

These robbers are basically pretended to be soldiers. They took advantage of the retreat to make a big profit. Anyway, after grabbing the money, they will run away. As a result, robbery, forcible annihilation, and murder continued to spread in the city. The women's cries and screams became more and more terrible. The whole Xi'an Mansion is like hell on earth.

In addition, many ordinary people spontaneously organized themselves and looted weapons everywhere to protect the lives and property of themselves and their families. They and the robbers are constantly fighting. On the streets, shouts of killing can be heard from time to time. Sometimes, there was also the dull sound of gunfire. This situation continued to spread, and finally formed the city of Xi'an with blood and fire.
