Yudong returned to the Lu Mansion with a heavy heart, the defenders of Runzhou were insufficient, and it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed. He had to let Xiuxiu and the three of them leave.

Originally, he stayed here to wait for news from his master.

Now, it's time to stay here.

Thinking of Qi Shi, who was seriously injured and still talking about defending the city, Qian Chang and Zhong Youxing, whose eyes lit up when they talked about the affairs of the Zhou family's army, and Captain Lu, who was enthusiastic and righteous.

When Zhao Quansheng came back from rescuing people outside the city with him yesterday, he patted his chest and said, "Uncle, Lao Zhao followed you to save people this time, it's really happy!"

For the people of Runzhou, make another effort!

Yudong wants to stay in Runzhou and help defend the city. It's just the three of them, you have to let them go quickly.

As soon as he walked into the inner courtyard, he saw Yuxiu and Yushu taking Liu Wu and a few other people, sorting out their luggage in the room, and Yuliang was accompanied by Sui Yan, reading a book in the wing room on the side.

Hearing him enter the door, Yuliang first dropped his book, "Brother, is the Shu army coming?" I went to the front yard and heard General Qi's personal soldiers say that Runzhou will definitely fight a big battle. ”

"You didn't read and went to the front yard?"

"The eldest sister said that those people in the front yard were heroes, and asked me to bring someone to bring them some supplements. Yuliang hurriedly explained that he didn't run around without permission, "The eldest sister and the second sister are packing up our things, and they have to put the ginseng or something outside." ”

Yuliang pointed to a few people who were busy in the room, and said a little aggrieved, "I think I'm in the way, let me come out to study." ”

Yuxiu and Yushu heard the two of them talking and called "brother", Yuxiu put down the things in her hand and walked into the yard, and saw Yudong looking at her with a sad face and worry.

"Little Four, when you're done reading the book, go in and help Shu'er sort out things. There are a lot of them that you were going to buy in the first place. ”

Yuliang originally wanted to pester Yudong and listen to the things on the city tower. As soon as Yu Xiuyi said, he pouted and ran to the house to help, walked to the door of the room, and turned his head uncomfortably and asked, "Brother, is the city tower high? I haven't been to the city tower yet, you can tell me later." ”

Yudong nodded and said yes, and he ran into the house.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Yuxiu asked in a low voice.

Yudong hesitated, but said it bluntly. Even if he wants to deceive, in front of Xiuxiu, he doesn't seem to be able to hide anything.

"From the castle tower, we saw...... Seeing it, the Shu army dragged the people of Songcheng to the city tower to kill. Brother Lu said that they were slaughtering the city!" Yudong pondered and said, seeing that Yuxiu did not show a frightened expression, "Later, the Shu army came to deliver a letter, and they came to surrender. ”

"Surrender? Is it for Fu Yuande to open the city?"

"Yes, they said, if it ...... If you don't open the city and surrender, when the city is broken, it will be the same as Songcheng. ”

"Brother, Captain Lu, did you say when the reinforcements will arrive?" Yuxiu squeezed the fingers of her right hand tightly with her left hand to make her voice calmer.

Yudong shook his head, Captain Lu, I'm afraid I don't know, "Xiuxiu, or you take ......"

"Let Shu'er and Xiaosi go first, I won't go. Yuxiu didn't listen to him at all, "Let Lao Zhao escort Shu'er and Xiaosi to go first, and Liu Wu will take care of them and wait for us in the capital." I'm here, waiting for you to go with me. ”

"Xiuxiu, Shu'er and Xiaosi are both young, if you don't follow, I don't worry. ”

"That'...... Then you can go together, brother, you escort the three of us together, okay?" Yuxiu's eyes were a little red, and looking at Yudong's expression just now, she guessed that Yudong wanted to stay here and contribute.

There are only more than 1,000 defenders in Runzhou, even if Yudong stays, even if the Yan family's guards and servants stay, what can it be worth?

"If you don't leave, let Shu'er and Xiaosi go first, and I have to stay. Yuxiu pursed her lips and looked stubborn, "Daddy said that I want you to take care of us, if I die, I will cry to my father, saying that you only want to be a hero and don't care about us." ”

"Xiuxiu, I'm not...... It's not that I don't take care of you, it's just that you see yesterday, those rebels, old and young, women and children didn't let go, how can I look at ......"

"Brother, then do you care about us, or those outsiders?" asked Yuxiu crying.

"I ...... Of course I'll take care of you first......" Yu Dong whispered in embarrassment, there was a difference between intimacy and intimacy, and asked himself, compared to his younger brothers and sisters, after all, he still wanted to take care of his younger brothers and sisters first.

"That's good. Brother, you see, Shu'er and I just found out the things we brought, Lao Shan ginseng, Huang Jing and He Shou Wu, these are left to these defenders, let's go?"

Yuxiu dragged Yudong's sleeve and said quickly.

"Okay, then you clean up, let's go. Yudong agreed, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, and when Xiuxiu and the three of them were sent out of the city, they would be sent farther away, and he would ride back alone. It can only be the same as yesterday, a first cut and then a prelude.

Yuxiu didn't know Yudong's plan, and when she heard him agree, she felt a little relieved.

She knew that the people were pitiful and the defenders were heroic. Yuliang came back from the front yard and told her that the soldiers who retreated from Songcheng in the front yard were all wounded but not afraid.

However, she is not a saint, she can't watch her brother, Shu'er, and Xiaosi die. She doesn't want her own life, her brother and the three of them, she must take care of them, this is the opportunity God gave her!

Even if she knew that if Yudong left, she might feel guilty when she thought of it today, and she couldn't take care of it. Even if Yudong will feel guilty for the rest of his life, then he is still alive, and he can only be guilty if he has a life.

She suddenly remembered that Zhou Ming once said, "You are just a weak woman", yes, she is just a weak woman, she just wants the people she cares about to be safe.

Yuxiu looked up at the blue sky above her head, and couldn't help praying in her heart: If it is a sin not to save people, God, then this sin is mine, and my brother was forced to go by me!

She can contribute money and efforts, but she can't let her family die.

Yuxiu gritted her teeth, thinking about how she would leave the city. Now the four gates of Runzhou are closed, and I am afraid that I will have to have Fu Yuande's order to go out of the city.

Yuxiu was thinking about how to let Fu Yuande let him go, and Ah Sheng ran back.

She asked Ah Sheng to inquire about the news in the city, and seeing his panicked face, it was obvious that something was wrong.

"Big lady, it's not good, there's something wrong at the North City Gate!" Ah Sheng took a few breaths before he spit out a sentence.

When Yudong heard this, they all walked out.

Ah Sheng gasped a few more times, "Small...... The little one ran to the north gate, and there were a lot of people around, all of whom were clamoring to go out of the city. When the officers and soldiers refused to open the gates, the people began to shout and fight with the officers and soldiers guarding the gates. Later, seeing that the officers and soldiers couldn't stop it, they let go of the north gate and let people out of the city. ”

"After those people left the city, they had not been long gone, and they heard the officers and soldiers on the city tower telling everyone not to go out. Afterward...... Afterward...... Several rebels came running on horseback, leaving a lot of heads behind...... The small ones didn't see it, and the ones standing in front of them were scared and fainted. ”
