Chapter 170: Fighting

Because there are many people who want to escape, the chaos at the city gate, the quarrels of adults, the crying of children, and the chaos, Zhou Xiya's convoy saw such a scene when it arrived.

Zhou Xiya came out of the carriage, her brows furrowed slightly, the people who wanted to escape were rich families and nobles, only they would worry about the rebels entering the city and being robbed, ordinary people had no family background, what could they rob, these people not only brought gold and silver, slaves, and horses, but blocked the city gate tightly, and the soldiers guarding the gate had nothing to do with them.

"I don't care, you soldiers are going to escort us away, do you know who we are, my lord is the uncle of Marquis Xiao, Marquis Xiao is the emperor, my family is a relative of the emperor, if my lord has a good one, can you afford it?" A man dressed as a slave arrogantly pulled a soldier guarding the city gate and roared.

"Protect my family, my master is a distant relative of Marquis Xiao......"

"My ............"

The noisy and noisy made a fuss, they all knew that this should be unguarded, Xiao Hou Ye was called the emperor in the capital, they naturally wanted to go to the capital to follow, but they also complained a little about Xiao Ruiqing in their hearts, he Xiao Ruiqing got the news and ran away, and he didn't notify them of these people, which caught them off guard, and many things were too late to take away, and the soldiers outside were in chaos, only relying on the guards of the family, if there was really something, how could they resist, so it was safest to pull the soldiers......

"Go and get the gong" Zhou Xiya stood on the carriage and instructed the maid beside her, the maid was very smart and knew what Zhou Xiya was going to do, and quickly found the gong and drum hammer.

Knock knock knock three times. The scene immediately fell silent

"Everyone give me quiet, I am the second lady of the Xiao family, I don't care what your identity is, what status, if you want to leave with me, just obediently line up and go out of the city with me, if any family quarrels again, don't blame me for not being merciful, leave you alone, and obey orders and commands on the road." If you can't do it. Leave on your own, I will never care anymore, now you should know what is going on outside the city, the rebels have been stationed outside the city. There are no guards of soldiers. You people have enough to grab a few times. Did you hear it all? ”

Zhou Xiya's words fell, and the people at the scene looked at Zhou Xiya's serious face and didn't know what to do.

"Jingqing's daughter-in-law. You ......" an old man stood up to say something.

"I don't have time to catch up with you now, I am in charge of the military power of these five thousand soldiers, whoever wants to disobey the order, leave on his own, and set off." Zhou Xiya looked at everyone strongly, and after finishing speaking, she got into the carriage, the coachman jumped into the carriage, flicked the whip, the horse neighed, and the onlookers immediately got out of the way and let Zhou Xiya go first.

Li Mu, who was standing in the distance, looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth curled, Xiya was more mature than before.

Probably because he was afraid that Zhou Xiya would really leave them alone, these people stopped arguing and lined up to follow out of the city.

Zhou Xiya directly sent her guards to take charge of these soldiers, and it was not safe outside the city, so she sent the scouts in her own guards to scout the situation around, so as not to be surrounded by rebels.

Zhou Xiya lifted the curtain and called a man on horseback outside, "General Zhang, come here" This was left by Xiao Jingqing for her, saying that he could be used in a crisis situation.

"Madam, what's the matter," General Zhang rode close to the carriage.

"You take people to the back to see how many guards each family has brought out, forcibly recruit them, if you have weapons, give them as much as possible, let's train them all the way, so that with the soldiers of Yingtian, our manpower will not be too small, if anyone dares not to let go, tell them directly, let them leave the convoy if they don't let them go, and the convoy will no longer shelter them, this is what I mean, you can't stop all the way, you can do this as soon as possible." Zhou Xiya was worried that the road would not be smooth, so she could only take precautions first, and there was great strength in the number of people.

"Yes, the last general will do it" General Zhang nodded, turned his horse and left.

"Miss, can we make it all the way to the capital safely?" Jinxiu asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but let's try to go to the area controlled by Marquis Xiao, and the road will be safer, just don't have an accident in the four or five days after leaving Yingtian, let's go day and night, we can get to the safe area, and the two of you just take care of the child for me." Zhou Xiya patted her son's swaddling clothes, if only she could be as carefree as this little guy.

In the eyes of Marquis Xiao, as long as he occupies the capital of the north and ascends the throne there, he will command the momentum of the world, and then these rebels will not be worried, and Marquis Xiao has also made plans to break the boat, if he loses it, not only will he lose the throne, but even the territory that Jiangnan has worked hard for many years will be gone.

At noon, the convoy that had been walking all morning did not mean to stop, which made the pampered nobles behind them unbearable, and they had already begun to let people pass the word to Zhou Xiya, saying that they wanted to stop to eat and rest.

"Eat, rest? Okay, go and tell those people, if you want to stay, stay, I want to see if those rebels will give them a chance to eat, the carriage does not stop, everyone eats dry food, those who do not prepare dry food are hungry, and it will be repaired for half an hour at night, if any carriage is left behind, never wait, tell the convoy, everyone hurry up. Zhou Xiya lowered the curtain and isolated the people who were asking outside.

I really think of myself as an uncle, and I have to eat and rest, this is running for my life, not on vacation, the enemy is coming, but it doesn't matter if you are eating and resting, it really gives these people face, since you don't want to. face, don't blame her for hitting hard.

Zhou Xiya rubbed her temples, there are so many things, and there are so many worries, it's really a headache.

"Mother, eat pastries" Xian'er moved to Zhou Xiya's side, and took out her favorite pastries to feed Zhou Xiya.

"Mother doesn't eat, Xian'er eats by herself, mother is not hungry" Zhou Xiya shook her head.

Xian'er pouted and stuffed the pastry into her mouth, why was her mother unhappy?

"Miss, let's eat something, I don't know how many worries there will be next." Jinxiu persuaded a sentence.

"I'm not hungry, I don't have the heart to eat. You guys eat," Zhou Xiya closed her eyes.

In the evening, Zhou Xiya breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because there were many people, riding horses, carriages, and walking, although they were in a hurry, they only walked out of a hundred miles, and they had not yet stepped out of Yingtian's jurisdiction.

"Ma'am, stop the convoy. It's been a day. Everyone's physical strength can't keep up. "General Zhang came over to ask for instructions, they are all right, but those in the back are not.

"Okay, fix it in place. Tell them. Don't make a lot of noise. Hurry up and cook, don't light too many open flames" Zhou Xiya nodded, and soon the convoy stopped. The people in the back grew a mouthful, and they were finally able to rest, where did these delicate and expensive people suffer like this, that is, they were tired after lying in a carriage, and they were tired after lying down for a day, and they were finally able to come down and relax their bodies.

Soon there was a lot of noise behind them, although there were warnings from the soldiers, but where would these people listen to those soldiers, it was already good that there was no fight.

When Zhou Xiya got out of the carriage, he saw that his guards were teaching a few of the most noisy people, these people just didn't clean up, and they were honest if they were beaten as a warning.

Mama Zhou and the others took a few maids to cook, because they were running for their lives, they could only eat some simply, and they had to make dry food to eat during the day tomorrow, and they had to make up for life at this time.

After eating a little simply, I saw that the nurse brought the child over and took the child: "Is Zheng'er full?" ”

"The little boy is full, and he has a full space." The nurse replied with a smile.

"Let's go eat, I'll come and see the kids." Zhou Xiya gently coaxed her son, her son is so pitiful, he is still so young, he has to follow her around, his ruthless father doesn't care about their mother and son, and when they meet, see how she cleans him up.

Everyone was eating, and a scout sent by Zhou Xiya came back, and they were anxious, "Madam, it's not good, a team came from the north, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there should be 10,000 people, only twenty miles away from us, and we will arrive soon." ”

"What" Zhou Xiya stood up, 10,000 cavalry, how can they resist, they will not be scattered by them.

"Hurry up and organize resistance, organize all the men, and take up arms, what about General Zhang?" Zhou Xiya forgot to glance at it, and General Zhang, who got the news, ran over.

"Madam, there is a forest in the west, let's go to the forest, so that we will not be scattered by the cavalry, we can resist a little, Madame has sent someone to notify the nearest army to come to the rescue, as long as the rescue arrives, we can still resist." General Zhang is very familiar with the terrain of this generation, and he immediately thought of a place, and now he can only take refuge temporarily, and he can't fight hard, otherwise all of them will die here.

"Okay, that's it"

Soon, General Zhang took the gong and informed everyone of the matter, and when he heard that the rebels were coming, these people immediately panicked, and some of them began to cry.

"Shut up for me, now the old and young women and children hurry up to the west, only allow to carry food, not to carry heavy things, now whether life is important or money is important, you think about it yourself, all the men take up arms, resist at the outermost, you can rest assured, as long as you hold out for two days, reinforcements will arrive, and everyone will be saved at that time." General Zhang scolded.

"But we don't have weapons?" A man shouted weakly.

"If you don't have a weapon, you can't have a wooden stick, you can't use a shovel, you can't use an iron pot, a copper spoon, pick up everything that can keep you alive and resist, don't think about surrendering, you think that if you surrender, those rebels will let you go, they hate you rich people the most, think about the fate of those rich people who have been captured in the city." General Zhang warned loudly.

Soon the scene was panicked, the maids supported the old people, wives, and women in the family to run west with their children, and some young rich sons also wanted to run, but with General Zhang, they had to find the weapons they had to take advantage of, and obeyed General Zhang's orders.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you two must keep an eye on the child." Zhou Xiya explained to Jinxiu and Bi Jian, her goal is too big, if she is really caught in the end, she hopes that the two children can be taken out, she arranged a few guards for Bi Jin and Jinxiu, stay with her first, and if things really can't be controlled, let them leave first.

"Miss ......" Jinxiu's eyes were full of worry, and she couldn't help hugging Zheng'er in her arms, probably because the scene was too noisy, Zheng'er moved uncomfortably, but she didn't open her eyes and continued to sleep sweetly.

"Let's go" Zhou Xiya patted them on the shoulder and led everyone to run into the forest.

It didn't take long for Zhou Xiya to hear the shouts of killing, the mountains here are high and dense, the cavalry can't enter, these rebels are a group of rabble, without the impact of horses, it is still a little troublesome to defeat Yingtian's regular army.

Fortunately, she felt that something was wrong before, she was not at ease without military power in her hands, she would not put her safety in the hands of Xiao Ruiqing, and secretly collected half of Yingtian's garrison, many of these soldiers were trained by Xiao Jingqing, Zhou Xiya wanted to use them, she was still very obedient, Xiao Jingqing would not be so kind to leave her behind.

"Hurry up" Zhou Xiya pulled Mama Zhou, the road in the forest is not easy to walk, especially now that it is dark, I can't see any moonlight, where is the elderly Mama Zhou used to walking such a road, one did not step on it steadily, and fell.

"Miss, run quickly, don't worry about the old slave, the old slave has a body, he won't be able to run for long, you take the little boy and them away." Mama Zhou pushed it away and took her hand.

"I won't leave anyone behind, get up quickly, we will be able to escape." Zhou Xiya and another maid helped Mama Zhou to continue running.

There were many people who fell and tripped like this, and there were many crying in the forest, and there were women's cries, children's cries, and they were very miserable.

"Shut up, do you want people to hear where you are, run." Zhou Xiya shouted at the forest, believing that everyone in the vicinity could hear it.

The people in this vicinity heard Zhou Xiya's shout, and their voices were much quieter.

"Xiya is over there, let's go over" Li Mu heard the voice and knew that it was Zhou Xiya, he did not participate in the team against the rebels, but brought a few people to run here, he was worried about Zhou Xiya's safety, except for these guards, his people were all behind to help resist.

Li Mu followed behind Zhou Xiya's people and did not come to her, but just protected her behind.

I don't know how long I have been running, some people can't run anymore, so they don't run anymore, for such people, Zhou Xiya doesn't care, and now she is too busy to take care of herself, how can she still care about others.

The sound of fighting behind his ears is getting closer and closer, as if it is in his ears, I don't know if General Zhang's side has resisted.

Zhou Xiya held on to a tree and panted, her legs that had already run were numb, and the shouting and killing behind her was no longer in her ears, which eased a little, Zhou Xiya tapped the number of people on her side, and found that everyone was following, so she was slightly relieved.

"Miss, go down and see how the battle goes." One of Zhou Xiya's guards asked for instructions.

"Go ahead, be careful" Zhou Xiya thought for a moment and nodded, they had already run far enough, looking at the battle situation, they could also feel what they were going to do next. (To be continued.) )
