Chapter 289 Buried in the Sea of ​​Fire
Early the next morning, Lu Qingling was awakened by the noisy people downstairs.

"Even the emperor can't seal the city at will, what is this going to do?"

"Well, there are still a lot of things at home, I really hate people!"

"My old lady is still waiting for my medicine to save her life, what should I do!"

"Oh, the world is getting worse day by day."

"Who says it's not? There wasn't even a few snowfalls last winter, and it was all light snow. It seems that this year's life must be difficult."

"It's okay for us to be here. Go outside and have a look. Those who escaped from the famine don't even have food to eat, let alone anything else. You're lucky."

"Oh, let's not talk about it. I'm going back. The mother-in-law and children are still waiting."

"I'm leaving too, wait for me!"

"..."

Lu Qingling went downstairs, bought porridge and buns, and began to eat slowly.

And the people around made a few complaints, and gradually dispersed. In fact, in this winter, the common people really have nothing to do now!

The city gate was sealed, this was what Lu Qingling and everyone in the Xiao family had thought of early on, but now that everyone has been put on makeup by Lu Qingling and lives in different inns, it can be said that it is safe for the time being.

But it is certain that the people in the city were panicked. Just when Lu Qingling was about to go out to check the situation after eating and drinking, an army yelled away from outside:
"Dangdangdang, the Xiao family is traitorous and collaborating with the enemy. The evidence is convincing. Last night, they killed the imperial guards and have begun to flee. If they find out or provide clues, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If they do not report the knowledge, they will be punished by the nine clans."

Therefore, what has been circulated the most in the capital recently is the remarks about the Xiao family in the General's Mansion.

Who didn't know that the previous Xiao family was the veterans of the Three Kingdoms, loyal and patriotic people, most people would not believe that they were traitorous and collaborating with the enemy, but this is a wanted order from the emperor, so what if they don't believe it.

Now the gate of the city is closed and the security is tight everywhere. Seeing this, Mr. Xiao stopped outside a tea shop at the entrance of the city to check the situation while drinking tea.

Xiao Yan found an unoccupied table, invited a few people to sit down, and then called Xiaoer:
"Here, have a pot of tea."

"Alright, sir, wait a moment."

Immediately someone took over.

After a short time, someone brought a pot of tea to the Xiao family's table.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yan looked at the closed city gate and said worriedly.

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"Well, now that we are like this, no one can recognize us. When they can't find anyone in the city, they will only think that we have already left the city and run away, and they will naturally go out of the city to chase. It's safer to be behind them."

"Yes, Dad, my son understands!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, be careful that the wall has ears, wait a minute, let's go and have a look around the house, I believe Brother Yu and the others are there too."

"Yes, my son understands."

When Xiao Yan and the others arrived at the edge of Xiao's house, they found that there were quite a lot of people here, and there were many officers and soldiers guarding there.

As for Mr. Xiao, Xiao Zhengnan looked at the burnt General's Mansion beyond recognition, with a look of desolation in his eyes, and turned to Lu Qingling and the others and asked:

"Are you all okay?"

"Grandpa, we're fine, don't worry!"

"Well, Grandpa Xiao, we're all fine! Don't be sad, those are dead things, you don't bring them with you when you're born, and you don't take them with you when you die. If they're gone, we'll just earn them!"

Lu Qingling said in a low voice, afraid that someone would hear.

"Hey, the little girl is quite good at comforting people, don't worry, grandpa is really fine, it's just a pity."

Although Mr. Xiao said so, Lu Qingling could tell that everyone in the Xiao family was very depressed.

Also, no one would be happy if their home was burned like this, let alone.They are still carrying the infamy of traitors on their backs. If you want to know it with your ass, it's no wonder they are in a good mood.

I wanted to say a few more words to comfort them, but before she could open her mouth, another breaking news came——Miss Lin of the Lin family, Lin Yaoyao, a talented woman from the Lin family, was buried in a sea of ​​flames in the middle of the night yesterday.

"No way, it was just reported yesterday afternoon that she was robbed of her fiancé by her concubine sister, and now she was buried in a sea of ​​flames. She couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide, right?"

"Shit, her aunt is the queen mother, and her cousin is the emperor. Does she need to commit suicide for a simple person?"

"Then why do you say so?"
