Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 23 Tragedy on Earth

Although the Chuanguo Yuxi is precious, Zhao Chen has no time to watch it carefully! He put the Chuanguo Yuxi in his arms, then left the side hall with Li Gang and Wang De, and walked outside.

Now there are golden soldiers entering the palace, but the number is not many. There are many treasures in the palace, the gold and silver treasures are next, and the most valuable are various maps, household registrations, tax information, etc. collected by the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Liu Bang entered Xianyang, Xiao He did not go to grab gold and silver treasures, but immediately protected the map, household registration, and tax information of the Qin Dynasty. This is also an important reason why Liu Bang was able to get the world. These things are also indispensable for the Kingdom of Jin to govern the Central Plains in the future. If there are too many troops entering and the order is chaotic, it would be a pity to destroy these materials! So Wanyan Zonghan just sent some elite soldiers into the palace. The purpose of these elite soldiers is also to maintain the order of the palace and seal up those materials!

As for the eunuchs and maids in the palace, they have now been expelled to the outside.

Because the side hall in front of me is too remote, no one has come to it until now.

The three of them cautiously walked towards the palace wall, and when they got to the palace wall, Wang De said, "I'll go outside to have a look first!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and at that moment, he saw Wang De's body fluttering up to the palace wall, and then he turned over and came down.

Zhao Chen was very envious. He practiced martial arts for half a year, and now he has officially entered the fourth level of the Emperor Tian Jue, and started to practice the Ren meridian among the eight extraordinary meridians. The progress has been quite rapid, but his skill is still not as good as Wang De's. too much. If it was him, it would be absolutely impossible to jump up such a high wall without a rope.

Soon there was a scream from over there, and Zhao Chen's heart tightened.

After a while, Wang De came in again, and Zhao Chen said, "What happened?"

Wang Dedao: "There are a few golden soldiers over there, I have already killed them! Your Highness, let's get out of here quickly!"

At that moment, Wang De hugged Zhao Chen with one hand and Li Gang with the other, and he brought the two of them to the palace wall like nothing.

The three came down from the palace wall, only to see a few golden soldiers lying in a pool of blood! The pale faces of these golden soldiers were due to the loss of blood, and their eyes were full of despair and pain!

Looking at the corpses of these golden soldiers, Zhao Chen felt a strong feeling of wanting to vomit! He felt a sadness in his heart, and he felt extremely sad! In the face of war, human life is so despicable! Whether it is the life of the Han people or the life of the Jurchens, they are all equally despicable! This was how he felt the first time he actually saw the face of a dead man!

Wang De turned a blind eye to these dead people. He didn't know how many enemies he had killed over the years! As for Li Gang, his expression didn't change much either! When the Jurchens invaded for the first time, it was he who was in charge of defending Kaifeng City, and he saw thousands of dead people!

"Where are we going?" Zhao Chen asked, enduring the discomfort in his heart.

"Let's go to the north, where there are many private houses, we can find a place to hide first!" Wang De said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

At present, Wang De is still leading Zhao Chen and Li Gang forward. He is an innate master, and even with the two of them, his speed is extremely fast! Their bodies kept flashing in various buildings, and occasionally they could see Jin Bing, and Wang De would take the two of them to hide temporarily or take a detour! His skill is so high that there is no problem in killing these ordinary golden soldiers, but if he kills too many, the Jurchen army will definitely be vigilant. At that time, the Jurchens will definitely encircle and suppress them.

After about half an hour, the three of them hid in a thatched hut. The house was extremely dilapidated, the snow on it kept falling, and it was very cold inside.

"Your Highness, Lord Li, we will hide here temporarily! I will take you out of Kaifeng City after dark!" Wang De said.

Zhao Chen nodded. Looking at the surrounding environment, he had a feeling of "the vicissitudes of life"! Just a few days ago, he was still living in the resplendent imperial palace, surrounded by countless eunuchs and palace maids, and in just a few days, he had already started to flee for his life, and now he was hiding in such a thatched hut! He is still the "Prince" of the Song Dynasty, but the only ones following him are Wang De and Li Gang in front of him!

"Your Highness, we can't wait until it gets dark, we have to find a way to leave Kaifeng City now!" Li Gang said suddenly after being silent for a moment.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

"If we stay here, the situation will definitely become more and more serious! One, the substitute of His Highness, that rogue may wake up at any time and leak His Highness's news! Two, the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo was taken away by us, Jin Bing Impossible not to investigate! I think Jin Bing will soon search the whole city for us, and we will not be able to get out when it gets dark! So, we have to go out now!" Li Gang said.

"That's right!" Zhao Chen thought this was the reason, and nodded hastily.

He glanced at Li Gang in surprise, he didn't expect that Li Gang's thoughts were so careful, this person is worthy of being a famous official who resisted gold in history, and the leader of ZTE famous official in the Southern Song Dynasty, he really has something unusual!

The three of them had no time to rest, and they immediately headed towards the city wall to the north.

Along the way, the three saw countless tragic scenes.

In the distance, several golden soldiers surrounded a woman. The woman’s clothes had been ripped off by the golden soldiers. She was screaming in horror. She was pushed down to the ground by the golden soldiers. Below, Jin Bing was fiddling with his hands and feet, laughing obscenely!

Zhao Chen's face was pale, but soon a wave of anger was generated in his heart! In fact, it wasn't just him, Li Gang and Wang De were also very angry!

Wang De didn't rush to rescue the woman. In Wang De's heart, even all the people in Kaifeng City combined are not as important as Zhao Chen, the prince of Song Dynasty! If the prince's whereabouts are exposed because of saving that woman, then the loss outweighs the gain!

"His Royal Highness, have you seen how these barbarians bully us Han people? In the future, we must take revenge!" Li Gang said aside.

Zhao Chen nodded silently.

Moving on, they saw an even more outrageous scene.

A golden soldier is riding on a horse, and he is dragging a Han Chinese boy who is only four or five years old by a rope. The horse ran extremely fast, and the little boy screamed in horror as he ran. Soon, the speed of the little boy could not catch up with the speed of the horse, his small body was dragged to the ground, his face and body were covered with blood, he kept screaming, gradually the screaming became more and more loud. Small, obviously dying. Then the golden soldier turned around and picked up the boy's body with a spear. He swung the boy vigorously, and the boy's body was lifted into the air. When the boy's body fell, another golden soldier in the distance lifted his hand The knife chopped off the boy's head at once, and blood splashed straight away! Countless Jin soldiers beside them watched the scene here and kept laughing.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Zhao Chen was about to rush forward, Wang De hurriedly stopped him.

"How can I bear this? That's just a child, and the Jurchens are so cruel. Is this still human?" Zhao Chen said excitedly.

"Your Highness, you are the crown prince, so don't act impulsively! Now is not the time to save them, the most important thing is to keep you useful!" Li Gang said calmly from the side.

"Ah!" Just as Zhao Chen was about to shout, Li Gang had already pressed Zhao Chen's mouth.

Zhao Chen was carried forward by Wang De, and he was like a walking dead along the way, his mind was in chaos! It has been more than half a year since he came to this world. For more than half a year, he has been thinking about ways to leave the palace and Kaifeng City. His biggest goal in the past six months is to be able to escape from this Jingkang disaster! Now he has left the palace, and soon he will leave Kaifeng City, but he saw a tragic scene that he could never imagine in his dreams! Those people, like him, are all Han Chinese, they are women, children, and weak, and they are so bullied by the Jurchens! They can't keep their dignity, they can't keep their lives! When he wanted to rush up, Li Gang and Wang De stopped him again because he was the "Prince"!

"I'm Zhao Chen, I'm the prince...I'm not a senior in high school! They tried their best to protect me, because I was the prince and prince of the Song Dynasty, and they pinned their hopes on me! They hoped that I could regain the mountains and rivers , Zhongxing Dasong! They didn’t save those women and children for fear of revealing my whereabouts! How can I be valued so much by them?”

"It's not just the two of them pinning their hopes on me, the prince. By tomorrow, more people will know that the prince has escaped. I'm afraid more people will pin their hopes on the prince, and ordinary people will also pin their hopes on the prince..."

"The fate of these people is so tragic, and they are bullied by those barbarians, but they still think that the prince can bring them hope..."

"If I just want to escape for my life, don't think about what to do in the future, and don't regard myself as a 'prince' at all, how can I be worthy of them?"

For a moment, countless thoughts were formed in Zhao Chen's mind!

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Zhao Chen's changing expression, sometimes sad, sometimes confused, sometimes gnashing his teeth, Wang De couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I just figured out some things! I am the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and I really want to keep my useful body, so that I can rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty and protect the people in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

His voice gradually calmed down, but there was an indescribable determination in this calm voice!

"It's great that His Royal Highness has such an idea!" Li Gang said aside.

After another half an hour, the three people came to the front of the city wall, Wang De said: "Your Highness, Mr. Li, please wait here for a while, I will go up to have a look!"

At that moment, Wang De was heading towards the city wall above.
