However, although this man was in the rebel army, his heart was always towards the imperial court. As a result, this time the official army counterattacked, he helped encourage the people in Nanmen to open the city to help the battle. This prevented the official army from suffering greater casualties and indirectly protected the palace from being destroyed.

It was also based on these that the fire destroyed him. In the end, the imperial court did not pursue him for surrendering to the rebels, but promoted him to the position of Minister of Rites, Yuanwailang. It can be said that he witnessed the changes in the capital in the past few years.

The more Luo Tianbao chatted with him, the more they became more and more speculative, and gradually they talked about what happened before and after the rebels occupied the capital. Cui Yuanwai couldn't help feeling emotional when he mentioned this.

"At that time, the rebels captured Xiaguan, and the capital was in chaos. Rich people often ran away with their families, but hundreds of people were still watching. After all, everyone felt that the emperor was still in the capital at that time, and there were still sixteen guards.

With so many troops, the rebels may not be able to capture the capital. But as soon as they woke up, everyone heard that the emperor, along with the royal family and court officials, had abandoned the city and fled overnight. Everyone was now in a panic. The four gates were all at once.

There was no movement in the crowd, and they were all people fleeing in all directions. At that time, hundreds of people died just because of the crowding. As a result, the chaos became more and more difficult to escape. Finally, at dusk that day, the rebels came, and some of the soldiers guarding the city wanted to resist.

But how could we hold on to the scene at that time? As a result, the century-old capital city was lost like this."

Cui Yuanwai couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, and even Luo Tianbao couldn't help feeling sad about it. Like Cui Yuanwai, he had seen the glorious past of the capital and had a strong sense of honor for it. Who would have thought that this representative city

The glorious city of the empire was finally lost. This kind of loss and regret is something that foreigners like Liu Bai and Wen Kai can hardly understand.

"So how was everyone's life afterwards?" Luo Tianbao sighed for a while and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't mention it. When the rebels first entered the city, they were very pretentious, saying that they would only arrest dignitaries and soldiers and would not disturb the common people. To be honest, they did not do anything too extraordinary in the first few days, but as time went on,

That's not right. Those soldiers were acting lawlessly and unscrupulously. The leaders at first took care of it, but then they simply let it go. Now the people in the capital suffered a lot. It was just a loss of some property. In the end, these people were exposed in broad daylight.

Stealing men and dominating women. If the other party refuses to do it, he will hit him with his hands raised. If it fails, he will directly commit murder. As for other kinds of atrocities, the people in the capital hate the rebels. At the beginning of last year, some young people

Zhuang was unconvinced and wanted to revolt and drive the rebels out, but how could it be that easy? In the end, they were suppressed within two days. From then on, the rebels became even more ruthless towards the people. They arrested and killed the rebels every day.

If the government troops don't come, almost all the elites in the capital will be killed."

Cui Yuanwai couldn't help but burst into tears at the end. He seemed to be thinking of those unbearable years again. Luo Tianbao felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had dealt with the rebels more than once in the past two years, and he knew that the other party was really capable.

Because of these things, Luo Tianbao still prefers the imperial court in his heart, even though he understands that these people are actually not very good.

"By the way, Mr. Cui, since you are quite familiar with Shou'anli, do you know the situation at the Yunda Escort Bureau and how the people there are doing?"

"Oh, my home is in Beicheng, and I don't know the details there. I just heard from my brother-in-law that it seems that most of the people in the escort agency moved away before the capital was occupied. As for where they went, I don't know. In the past two years,

The escort agency’s house should always remain idle.”

"Then can you take me to see it?"

"Okay, you guys come with me."

In this way, a group of people arrived at Shouanli in Nancheng. Luo Tianbao almost stopped crying when they reached a familiar intersection. It has been three years since they left here. Unknowingly, it has been almost three years since they left here. Luo Tianbao originally thought that he did not have much unforgettable memories of this place.

Feelings, but at this time he realized that he was wrong. Walking on the familiar streets, he felt so relaxed and natural. This feeling was something that Jin Doubao, the General's Mansion, etc. could not give him. It was the feeling of home.

At first, Luo Tianbao consciously walked behind Cui Yuanwai, but when he turned the intersection, he couldn't help but walked at the front of the team. It wasn't that he was in a hurry, but he was so familiar with the terrain here that he could see it even with his eyes closed.

Walking faster than ordinary people, he finally stopped at the door of Yunda Escort Agency.

Fortunately, the basic structure of the Escort Agency is still there, and even the signboard of Yunda Escort Agency is hanging in the distance. It seems that Gao Fengshan and others were in a hurry when they left, and they didn't even have time to take it away, but it was thick

The dust and weeds growing in the corners remind people that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

The door of the Escort Bureau was open. Luo Tianbao originally thought that he had no time to lock the door when everyone escaped, but when he went in and took a look, he realized that it must have been opened afterwards, because the interior of the Escort Bureau was now in ruins, and even some doors and windows were missing.

No matter how hurriedly the people from the escort agency left, they still wouldn't have taken all of them away. It should have been done by outsiders afterward. As for whether it was the rebels or someone else who took advantage of the fire and robbed it, it is unknown now.

The furniture in the main hall has basically been emptied, with only some broken pieces left. It seems that they were left when someone took them away. The only thing in the room that can still evoke Luo Tianbao's memories is the Hongyun Tongda hanging on the wall.

The four-character plaque was specially written by a famous artist when the Escort Agency was established, and it has been hung in the main hall ever since. Luo Tianbao's most common job when he was an apprentice was to wipe this plaque, so he has a special affection for it.

In my memory, this plaque has always been shiny, but now it is full of dust, and even the corners are covered with spider webs. This seems to be a reflection of Yunda, and even the entire capital, in recent years. Luo Tianbao felt like he was back in a trance.

Three years ago, I returned to the day Gao Yue got married. It was the busiest day in the escort agency, and it was also the saddest day for Luo Tianbao. Looking back now, it was from that time that I, Gao Yue, and even the entire escort agency

The fate of people began to change dramatically.

"Master, why are you crying?" Suddenly the disciple Wen Kai's words brought Luo Tianbao back to reality. Only then did he realize that he had cried without knowing it, and his clothes were even wet with tears.

"It's okay, I just remembered the past." Luo Tianbao immediately wiped his tears to calm down. Most of the people who came here know that Luo Tianbao grew up here. It is human nature to feel sentimental when revisiting his old place now, so this is also

Don't take it seriously.

Afterwards, Luo Tianbao took everyone to visit the Escort Agency. He had lived here for nearly twenty years and knew almost every detail of the Escort Agency. He took everyone to visit the martial arts training ground, the residence of Gao Fengshan and his wife, and

Although no one had as much affection for the place where he lived back then as Luo Tianbao did, it was still quite refreshing to hear him tell all the interesting anecdotes from back then.

After wandering around, everyone came to the backyard. Luo Tianbao was originally introducing everyone to the warehouse where the valuables were stored and the inside story of the escort agency, but suddenly he turned around and saw a small courtyard opposite. His heart suddenly moved, and he was fascinated.

Standing there for a long time.
