Two months later, the capital became more and more crowded.
The demon clan has occupied one third of the land in the southern region, and more and more refugees are pouring into the capital.
The eight gates of the capital have been closed, and countless refugees are not allowed to enter. They can only settle down outside the capital.
Zhou Lihua sent someone to persuade them to continue to go to the nanjue mountains. Unfortunately, less than half of the refugees were still unwilling to leave.
Some of them are old and frail, and they can't walk any more. Some of them eat up their food, and I'm afraid they can't go far further... In other words, they also think that the capital should be safer.
The number of this small half of refugees has reached more than 100000, and they are gathering more and more.
More than 100000 refugees gathered to form many small camps. Zhou Lihua was forced to send soldiers to maintain order in major camps every day.
Zhou Lihua changed her dress and walked out of the palace with a light face.
Turning a few corners, before reaching the street, I heard the cry of the peddler: "meat buns ~ fragrant hot buns ~ hot buns just out of the way ~ come and buy them ~"
Hearing this cry, Zhou Lihua was very helpless... When is it!
Walking on the street, she was stunned to find that the capital seemed to be still prosperous
The peddlers on the street, the aunts who set up stalls, and the old men who carry birdcages and walk idly... There are even more pedestrians on the street than usual!
"What's going on?" Zhou Lihua turned and asked Qingyan, "how do you feel that there are more people!"
"Some are people who have escaped from the capital!"
"How many local people in Beijing have left?"
"Maybe half!" Ye Qingyan thought for a moment and replied.
Zhou Lihua stared at Qingyan and saw that under an ancient banyan tree not far from her, there were two old men sitting on two small horses, playing chess on the stone pier, so she walked directly over.
"Uncle, why are you still playing chess? Didn't the court say that the demon clan is coming and that we should escape to the South Jue mountains?"
One uncle looked at the chess game seriously, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Lihua's words. Another uncle glanced at Zhou Lihua and felt that she was a good-looking person with noble temperament. She should be an ordinary person, so he replied, "girl, are you a stranger?"
"Yes, I escaped to the capital!" Zhou Lihua nodded, "I heard that the imperial court asked us to continue to the nanjue mountains!"
"Don't listen to their nonsense. The capital is the safest with your majesty!"
"We are all old bones. What are we going to run away from?" Another thoughtful old man whispered, "anyway, I can't walk, and I'm not going to walk. I can't walk far. It's just a drag... It's better to die here!"
"The capital is the safest. With her Majesty in charge, those who escape are fools. Anyway, I won't go anywhere!"
"Who do you say is a fool?"
"What's the problem with your son and your son-in-law's family?"
"I tell you, I told them to leave!"
“……”
Seeing that the two old men had a quarrel, Zhou Lihua hurriedly said, "well, well, you are all a handful of years old. What's so noisy!"
"Today I give this girl face and won't quarrel with you!"
"Can you disturb me?"
“……”
Zhou Lihua left the two old men in tears and laughter. She saw that the two old men had a good relationship and should not fight.
"Many people think that the place where your majesty is is the safest!" said softly
"You mean, it's not good for me to stay in the capital?"
"Subordinates don't mean that!"
Zhou Lihua thought for a moment and said, "I'm ready to leave tomorrow!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
The real valuable things in the palace have long been taken away!
Zhou Lihua was reluctant to stay here.
She was born and grew up in the palace. When she was a child, she hated everything in the palace!
Dream, she wants to escape!
But now, she even lost her country, and even her country may be gone... Her heart still couldn't help but feel sad.
In recent months, she has hardly slept well!
On the second day of Zhou Lihua's private visit, the news that her majesty left the capital for the nanjue mountains was spread!
Many people saw with their own eyes that the queen, with hundreds of thousands of troops, was driven away by the emperor.
Many people who still cling to the capital have wavered!
Even the emperor ran away. What's the use of them staying here?
So most people packed up and left.
Qingyan stood on the empty hall, looked around the Dragon chair, looked around, and then sat on the Dragon chair!
"It feels very ordinary!"
"You feel average, because you just sit on your butt... Your heart, didn't sit on it!"
Ye Qingyan turned his head fiercely and saw Zhou Lihua beside him!
"Your majesty!" She jumped up quickly. "Didn't she leave?"
"Forget something, come back and get it!"
Seeing that Zhou Lihua didn't mean to investigate, Qingyan hurriedly asked, "what is it?"
"That's it!" Zhou Lihua pointed to the Dragon chair
"Clam?"
"On the way, I always felt that something else was missing. I walked more than ten miles before I remembered that I had missed my dragon chair!"
Qingyan looked at Zhou Lihua and took out a dagger. He neatly pried the four legs of the Dragon chair out of the floor tile and stuffed them into the space ring. He couldn't help but curl his mouth!
When the hall was completed, the Dragon chairs were fixed.
For thousands of years, every emperor of Zhou sat on this chair.
"I am definitely the most incompetent emperor in the history of Zhou!" Zhou Lihua stood up and looked at the empty hall with a smile, "in the history of the state of Zhou, no foreign enemy has ever been able to invade the Imperial City... I just ran away!"
Qingyan didn't speak.
Zhou Lihua slowly walked down the steps, gently stroked the carved dragon jade column, and then walked down the hall to the main gate of the hall. Looking at the magnificent palaces, she suddenly didn't want to go!
Zhou Lihua didn't even dare to look at the day when the capital was destroyed by the demon clan.
On the day the capital was destroyed, Zhou Lihua was already in the nanjue mountains, and the imperial seal of the country was cracked.
She didn't say anything more, just drove everyone off yuchui!
Zhou Lihua always thought that her heart was like an iron stone, but now she found that she still cared about something.
When it hurts, I still feel heartrending.
About three days later, Zhou Lihua heard a noise outside yuchui.
"Who is arguing outside?"
"Your Majesty, they are the heads of those aristocratic families. They want to see you!"
Zhou Lihua lifted the curtain, and Qingyan looked up at her outside the imperial gate, and quickly pointed to her head: "Your Majesty, your hair!"
"Hair?"
"Forget it, I'll do it!"
Qingyan jumped on the Imperial Guard, pulled up the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, your hair is messy!"
