Chapter 329: Thinking of Ruts
Zhou Xian Ling looked at the two carriages surrounded by women and children outside the city gate, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was not particularly worried about Miss Xu, but Miss Xu was Pei Zhizhou's niece, if something happened under his nose, he was afraid that Pei Zhizhou would be able to skin him alive!
He turned around and asked the master, "Have you sent someone to find Mr. Virtue?" ”
The master hurriedly said: "I've already gone." He added, "Lord Zhizhou, do you want to notify me?" ”
Zhou Xianling sighed: "Naturally, I have to go and notify." After a pause, he said, "Du Jiedu envoy over there, too, to say hello, if possible, send someone to the barracks outside the city...... The gates of this city cannot be kept open all the time. ”
The master hurriedly agreed to go down and make arrangements.
Xu Qirong stayed in the carriage, not knowing that Xu Yuanshuang was sitting in the other carriage, and the Xu family saw that the Xu family had all gotten into the carriage, so they also got into the carriage, and the women and children who were left alone stared at each other. In winter, it gets dark early, and it's already dark. Because I didn't expect such a big fork on the way home, the food that Shen's mother brought to Xu Qirong, Xu Qirong was left to Hua Yude and Tong'er, and everyone in this carriage was hungry, but there was no way!
Obviously, some people were even hungrier than Xu Qirong, and the women and children outside were not only crying children, but even the women were crying bitterly.
Not far away is the mountains and forests, and the cry of the night ray in the cold night is particularly obvious, catering to the women's poignant and sharp cry, how mad and how mad!
Xu Qirong's heart is not made of stone, and his heart has softened many times. But with her, Qiu Nong and Shen's mother in the carriage, she could only squeeze two more people at most, and she had no food to eat. Without extra warm clothing, what can she do with this woman and children all over the ground?
Qiu Nong watched Xu Qirong stretch out his hand and open the curtain of the car, and immediately a cold wind poured in, freezing people with excitement, Chen Wu hurriedly said: "Miss, quickly retract in." It's too cold out there. ”
There were no lights, only dark shadows could be seen, and Xu Qirong took a step forward. Standing behind Chen Wu and Chen Qi, he said loudly: "Folks, this wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and there is no shelter here. The adults can still endure it. But what about the children? Seeing that the gate of this city will not be opened today, it is better for everyone to come with me and find a broken temple to stay in stillness, it is better than being hungry and cold here! ”
No one paid attention to her, the people who should be crying were still crying, and the people who should be around the carriage were still around.
The attitude of the women and children who did not eat oil and salt made Xu Qirong a little anxious, ignoring the cold wind on her face, and said loudly: "I am the false fifteenth miss of Surabaya Street. Listen to me, you can't stay here any longer. Since you won't let me leave here, I promise that I will go with you to find a place to shelter from the wind and cold, and I will not leave you until dawn tomorrow! ”
Hearing Xu Qirong say this, the cries around him became sparse, and he seemed to be moved by Xu Qirong's proposal.
Then Xu Qirong heard the owner of the other carriage also speak, although the voice was gentle and soft, but after everyone stopped crying noisily, it could also let everyone hear clearly.
The man said: "I am the fourth lady of the Xu family, and the Lord of Fuzhou City is my uncle, as long as everyone is willing to go together to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow now, I am the same as the Miss Xu family, and I promise here that I will never leave everyone before dawn!" ”
As soon as Xu Yuanshuang's words came out, everyone was even more shaken, and they asked each other about the feasibility of this proposal. Chen Wu and Chen Qi are people who practice martial arts, and when they heard this, they hurriedly relayed it to Xu Qirong word for word!
Qiu Nong's eyes lit up, and he said to Xu Qirong: "I didn't expect it to be Miss Xu Si over there!" ”
Xu Qirong was also a little surprised, and then his heart was clear, Xu Yuanshuang is everyone's young lady, and she doesn't go out of the city easily, but I'm afraid that it is not an accident that she will be besieged here by these women and children. There must be someone behind these women and children's actions. After surrounding Xu Yuanshuang, you can negotiate conditions with Pei Zhizhou. As for Xu Qirong's side, I'm just afraid that they are just handy, thinking that two young ladies are always heavier than one young lady!
If it was really what she guessed, then the people behind the manipulation of these women and children were inevitably a little too terrifying, and even a boudoir lady knew clearly when she would go out of the city!
Xu Qirong was pondering, and suddenly heard Xu Yuanshuang's shout from the Xu family's carriage: "Sister Qirong, sister Qirong, is it you?" ”
Xu Qirong hurriedly responded: "Sister Yuanshuang, it's me!" Then while the women and children were shaken, they hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "If you still don't worry about me and Sister Yuanshuang, let's let the carriage go slowly later, and you will gather around our carriage, okay?" ”
As soon as these words came out, most of the women and children spoke up in agreement, especially the women with children...... In the world, where is there a mother who doesn't love her children!
As soon as Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief, everyone suddenly became in a commotion, and then there was a shouting and scolding, and he took a few steps closer to the carriage of the Xu family and the Xu family, and it seemed that he was about to pounce at any time!
Xu Qirong didn't care about the cold, and when he looked over, he saw some firelight in the distance in the direction of Shuanggui Zen Temple, and after half a cup of tea, he could hear the sound of horses' hooves. The firelight was the torch in the hand of the person immediately, Xu Qirong counted it roughly, and there were almost more than ten people coming.
Xu Qirong was shocked and asked Chen Wu: "Could it be that there are really bandits, and now the bandits are chasing them to the foot of this city gate?" ”
Chen Wu shook his head: "If there are really bandits chasing after him, how can he wait until now?" They rode horses, and they couldn't even compare to these women who dragged their children...... What's more, there is a machine crossbow on the head of Fuzhou City, and the bandits dare not chase people down the city gate even if they have the courage! ”
What's more, there are only a dozen or so people here!
The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and the emotions of those women and children became more and more nervous, Chen Wu and Chen Qi hurriedly stuffed Xu Qirong back into the carriage and prepared for defense.
When the firelight was only a dozen feet away from their carriage, everyone was finally able to see the people clearly, under the firelight, all of them were wearing black power suits, how fierce the expressions on their faces looked, and they were all five big and three thick, some people were holding long tassel guns in their hands, some people were holding horse battle axes in their hands, and some people were holding horse sabers in their hands.
Although there are only more than a dozen people, they look like rakshasas from hell!
Xu Qirong glanced at it, and his heart was in his throat.
Then when he saw the face of the leader clearly, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, although the person changed out of the monk's clothes, the hairstyle on his head did not change, with this black suit, he looked nondescript, it was the one-finger upside-down sweeping monk in the courtyard of Degong, Gong Qi in the mouth of Degong.
Gong Qi glanced at Xu Qirong, and did not come forward, but fiercely aimed the horse chopping knife in his hand at the women and children who were trembling in front of him!
A man beside him laughed loudly three times, and then said loudly: "Boss, I just said that there are fat sheep, so many women and children, snatch them back, and the turtle grandson surnamed Zhou will have to take at least six hundred loads of grain in exchange!" ”
Another man also said: "The eighth has made a great contribution this time, I heard that the village of these women and children has been robbed, I am afraid that all their men are dead, and the government refuses to open the door, so we have picked up a big bargain!" ”
Xu Yuanshuang's heart sank, and she almost cried, and then she heard her family say to her: "Fourth Miss, the little one is going to fight with them, you take this opportunity to run!" ”
Xu Yuanshuang was about to agree, and then felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Wait, the Xu family didn't move, when they moved, we will move again!" (To be continued.) )
