Wei Minwu turned north and south again, and when he went, he saw the moment the city gate was knocked open, Xiao Fugui's people and horses swarmed in, he was startled, thinking that Yuxian was about to be lost. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a man and a rider rushing over and cutting off the cross board of the bridge. All the people above fell.

The suspension bridge was disconnected, and Xiao Fugui was lucky enough to enter the city, and he became a turtle in the urn, and was soon strangled and cleaned.

Thinking of the situation at that time, Wei Minwu couldn't help but sigh.

The gains and losses of life and death are in an instant, if Gu Xichao hadn't responded in time, Yuxian County at this time would have been a hell on earth.

When he returned, he heard that Xiao Fugui's men and horses had retreated. But he knew in his heart that it was only temporary. Xiao Fugui's men and horses will soon make a comeback.

Once again, it won't have to be that lucky.

After listening to Wei Minwu's words, Zhang Xing thought about it, shook his head, and said, "Second brother, have you forgotten Shen Qian?" ”

"Shen Qian?" Wei Minwu frowned and said, "Do you think he will send troops to relieve the danger of Huaiyang Yu County?" At this time? ”

They previously thought that Shen Qian was not Heyang, in order to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and to reap the benefits of the fishermen. Now there is no result of this dragon and tiger fight!

"This time is not that time, if Shen Qian sits back and doesn't care anymore, this Jianghuai and other places will really have the surname Xiao. Besides, when it really comes to the crisis, even if Gu Yongfeng has a big mind, he has to put it aside for the time being. Zhang Xing said slowly, "Second brother, I think we should wait a little longer." ”

Wei Minwu pondered.

Zhang Xing knew that this decision was not so easy to make. Once the city is broken, according to Xiao Fugui's personality, their life will not be easy, and it is even possible to overturn it once and for all.

But if you want to enter the Qingmeng Mountains, not to mention the difficult journey, their family is old and young, and there are many old and weak women and children. The mountainous area is not a peaceful place, and in the days of war and chaos, there are many people hiding in it, and if you are unfortunate enough to encounter powerful mountain bandits, casualties are inevitable.

"Second brother, I'll go back to the room first. If you're up to a decision, let me know. ”

It was already completely dark, and the lights in the corridor were already on. Xia Zhi carried the lantern, Zhang Xing followed, and the two walked through the corridor together. Movement outside the high walls could be faintly heard, and the sound of horses' hooves passing through the street. In Yuxian County this night, I'm afraid there are few people who can sleep peacefully.

Thinking of Wei Minwu's story, as well as what she had seen, she suggested that no matter how long she waited, she actually didn't know if it was correct. At this time, every decision is difficult to decide.

Maybe after one night, the city will be a different world.

But to go, there are too many concerns.

Back in the courtyard, the lights were out everywhere except in her room.

Mother You and Mother Xiao sat under the lamp, doing needlework and talking at the same time. Zhang Xing came in, and the two stood up.

"Let's all go to sleep, stay for the summer solstice vigil tonight." Zhang Xing said.

Mother You and Mother Xiao went out together. Zhang Xing got on the couch and took the little brother in his arms. I heard more drumming outside. She closed her eyes.

I don't know when, she suddenly woke up. The wind was blowing, and the light and shadow through the panes were erratic.

"Summer solstice! Summer solstice! Zhang Xing shouted.

Xia Zhi rubbed his eyes, "Madam? ”

"Don't light the lights." Zhang Xing lowered her voice and said, "You go to the window and see, why is the east so bright?" ”

Xia Solstice sat up in surprise and went to the window to look at it. "Ma'am, it seems to be running out of water over there!"

Xia Solstice is no longer sleepy at all, and he is so panicked that he doesn't know what to do?

"Don't be afraid, it's Qingzhu Courtyard over there, there are no people, it's still far away from us." Zhang Xing said softly, "Light the lamp." ”

The summer solstice is lit according to the words. Zhang Xing had already sat up, and under the yellow light, she looked the same as usual, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and gentle. Xia Zhi's heart also quieted down.

"Madam, I'll go and call Mother You." Xia Zhi said. There are too few people here, and if something happens, there will be no errands.

Zhang Xing shook his head, "No, there is Sun in charge of them over there." ”

In the past few days, she has not slept deeply, and she will wake up at the slightest disturbance.

In fact, the entire Wei family compound has stepped up patrols, and Steward Sun's subordinates are all good at coming to the Ma Gang, and this group of people doesn't know how many storms they have seen. She doesn't have to worry about it at all, she just has to deal with it, and she can't help herself.

The little brother also woke up, humming and chirping to find food. Zhang Xing hugged him in his arms, the little brother hadn't finished eating, and the red light in the east had been extinguished.

"Sleep." Zhang Xing said to Xia Zhi.

Since Sun Xin had nothing to do, the movement over there had also calmed down, and he thought that the matter was over.

Xia Zhi fell asleep nervously, she thought that she probably couldn't sleep, but when she opened her eyes again, the courtyard was already lively. Zhang Xing also got up and was grooming.

Xia Zhi hurriedly put away the cover.

Mother You brought hot water and came in, and said in a low voice: "Madam, last night, there were thieves in Qingzhu Courtyard, but fortunately, Steward Sun was vigilant and found out in time." The gang of thieves still wanted to set fires, and there were many of them in charge of Sun, and the fire was not allowed to burn, and the thieves were all arrested. The second master has already gone to trial. ”

"I know." Zhang Xing said lightly.

In the past few days, the masters of the Wei family have gathered in the main courtyard to eat together. When Zhang Xing came over, everyone was talking about walking in the water last night, which was considered to be dangerous.

Ye Hexiang pulled Zhang Jinbao and said, "You are not allowed to go out today!" ”

Zhang Jinbao looked miserable. Is he going to stay at home for a day and not suffocate to death? His sister is a female streamer, and she went to the city wall to help yesterday, and he didn't go out of the gate of a big man, what is the matter?

Wei Minwu happened to come in at this time, and when he heard this, he nodded, looked at Zhang Jinbao and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere these days!" ”

Zhang Jinbao dared to disobey Ye Hexiang's words, but Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu's words, he didn't dare. He then looked at Zhang Xing, hoping that she could help him say something.

Zhang Xing didn't look at Zhang Jinbao and said, "I'm afraid there will be chaos in the city, don't go out if you have nothing to do." ”

Zhang Jinbao was completely stunned, and after eating a few bites, he was pulled away by Ye Hexiang.

Fu Xianglian asked Zhang Xing in a low voice: "Are you still going out today?" ”

Zhang Xing shook her head, "Don't go." ”

Fu Xianglian smiled, "Then I'll go to your courtyard for a while." ”

Wei Minwu took He An out after eating breakfast. The thieves who came into the Wei family's compound last night were a few homeless people, I don't know where they heard the news, a few people formed a gang, and stepped on the point for two days, preparing to make a big sum at night, but they turned into the courtyard and were discovered.

In a hurry, they wanted to simply make a big fuss and set fire to the yard. In this way, if there are people in the neighborhood who have the same thoughts, they will definitely touch it. There are many people, and if they are lucky, they may be able to succeed, and no matter how bad they are, they can always escape while they are in chaos.

As a result, the fire was lit and it was extinguished, and a few people outside who were released were also arrested.

Wei Minwu didn't have time to send these people, and he had already handed over the matter to Sun Xin.

Sun Xin dealt with these small children, and there were many ways to make them unforgettable.

Zhang Xing ate breakfast and asked Gu Yu to run errands to Director Zhao to deliver the letter.

There were still some medicinal materials in her library, and she kept them all away, so she simply asked Manager Zhao to send them all.

When the sun was setting in the west, Wei Minwu hurriedly came in and said, "Xing'er, we can't wait any longer." ”

Zhang Xing looked at Wei Minwu in a daze. He was in a mess, completely devoid of the freshness and neatness he had when he went out in the morning.

"Okay, I'll tell everyone to pack up their things and gather in the main courtyard immediately." She nodded.

Wei Minwu hurriedly went out. He had to hurry up and arrange the carriage and horses.

In fact, a few days earlier, everyone was convinced that if the situation deteriorated, they would leave quickly. It's almost time to clean up. If you can't take it away, you can't move it, and many valuable bulky guys have already entered the dark vault early. The food used on the road has already been collected into a box and waited to be loaded into the carriage.

When the people sent by Zhang Xing arrived in the courtyards, everyone hurriedly brought a fine and soft burden and came to the main courtyard.

Zhang Xing thought that Uncle Fu's legs and feet were inconvenient, and Wei Minwen was not there, so she went to Qingxiang Courtyard in person. Fu Xianglian, Aunt Fu, and Uncle Fu were all in the courtyard, Fu Xianglian was sending something out, and when she saw Zhang Xing coming in, she hurriedly pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Is Yuxian really unable to hold it?" ”

Zhang Xing looked at Fu Xianglian's slightly trembling hands, and said calmly: "I don't know if I can hold it or not, but before we leave, Yuxian City will definitely be safe." ”

Fu Xianglian breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that it would be too late, Wei Minwen was not at home, Uncle Fu's legs and feet were inconvenient, and Wei Junbao was too small, so she was under too much pressure alone.

Uncle Fu beckoned to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing smiled at Fu Xianglian and nodded, "If everything is cleaned up, let's go to the front yard early." ”

Fu Xianglian's heart was a lot more settled, and she continued to assign matters.

Zhang Xing walked to Uncle Fu's side. Uncle Fu asked, "Have you settled your uncle and them?" ”

Zhang Xing nodded and said, "It's been settled early." ”

Uncle Ye, Li Dahe, and the two families didn't have any luggage at all, and she had already settled it in Wutong Courtyard. The valuable ones in the yard have been put into storage, and after she came back, she had already dismissed a lot of people, and Uncle Ye and the others came over to bring a few people over there. Today's Wutong Courtyard only leaves the gatekeeper.

They now live in a courtyard not far from the main courtyard, and Zhang Jinbao has passed.

Uncle Fu sighed and said, "It's us who dragged you down. ”

"Uncle, don't say that." Zhang Xing hurriedly said, "I don't know how much more things you have experienced than us, we need you to see more along the way." ”

People are old and experienced, and she knows this very well. I think if it weren't for Stone's grandmother, it was a question of whether she would have survived.

Fu Xianglian arranged everything, came over and said, "Let's go." ”

The two tall and strong men lifted Uncle Fu's stretcher, and everyone came.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Xing beckoned Gu Yu over and asked, "What did Manager Zhao say?" ”

Gu Yu replied: "Manager Zhao said, let you just rest assured." He promised to send the medicinal herbs to the patrol camp, and few people knew about the house in his country, and he would definitely take care of the things and wait for you to return. ”

"Okay, you go out and have a look, how are they going to go, Second Master?" Zhang Xing said again.

Gu Yu answered, and was about to go out, when Sun Xin came in with a team of nurses, walked straight to Zhang Xing, and said, "Madam, the carriage and horses outside are ready, and the second master asked the little one to come over and listen to your orders." ”

Zhang Xing nodded, she had already told Fu Xianglian, she took Wei Junbao, Uncle Fu, and Aunt Fu in a carriage. Uncle Ye's family has one, Wei Yunhai Ye Hexiangzhang Jinbao has one, Yun Jinlan has a nurse and son, Li Dahe sits with her, and the remaining girl and mother-in-law are divided into four carriages.

Everyone got into the carriage in turn, Sun Xin and the others got on the horse, and the group waited for the mighty to go to the northwest direction where Qingmeng Mountain is located.

There is a mess on the streets, people begging for food, people who come out to inquire about the situation, people who are ready to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, and so on. But Wei Ji's carriage and horses were surrounded by a circle of guards, all of them fierce and vicious, and the handle of the knife under the saddle could be seen.

No one dared to approach.

Li Jinlian lifted the curtain of the carriage. She has not been here in Yuxian for a long time, although she has lived the longest this time, but she has not seen it in detail on the street at all.

"Is that Qingmeng Mountain?" Li Jinlian looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and asked in a low voice.

Li Youshi leaned over and nodded, "Yes, that's it." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Jinlian's eyes, but she knew that many things could not be the same as at home under the fence now.

Li Jinlian lowered her head and pursed her lips in the eyes of Mother You, she glanced outside the carriage, and said with a smile: "This Qingmeng Mountain is not high from here. When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, it was not the same as what I saw now. ”

Qingmeng Mountain is a huge mountainous area, the peaks are endless, I heard that it is directly connected with the mountains on the other side of Heyang, the deepest place, inaccessible, miasma, and full of crises. It's not as small and climbable as it looks right now,

Zhang Xing couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard this.

Watching the mountains run dead horses is not fun. At the beginning, when Shi Shi was a bandit on Qingmeng Mountain, he often did things that he couldn't beat and run, and brought people into the mountains to go around in circles, and after a few days, few of them could move.

Li Jinlian lowered her head in embarrassment.

I don't know where I went, and the carriage suddenly stopped. Mother You let out a "huh" and quickly lifted the carriage curtain.

"There's a patrol battalion coming." She whispered.

Riding on horseback, Wei Minwu looked at the large group of people and horses coming not far away, took a deep breath, and ordered the back: "Give way first." ”

They left Yuxian County at this time, although everyone knew that it was to avoid disaster, but this was seen by the soldiers who were still desperately defending the city, and they would definitely not like it.

Sun Xin also came over on horseback and stood with Wei Minwu.

Getting closer, Sun Xin couldn't help but touch the knife under the saddle.

The group of men and horses who came was completely different from what he usually saw on the street, they were lined up in order, their steps were uniform, and they were domineering, and at a glance they knew that they had gone through countless battles. The leader didn't look very old, dressed in armor, riding on horseback, and was domineering.

Sun Xin didn't see the face of the leader of the team clearly at first, only shocked by his momentum, and couldn't help but be nervous. As he got closer, he realized that it was an acquaintance.

"Second master, it's Gu Shizi." Sun Xin said.
