Mrs. Qi stayed up all night and waited for their news, and when she heard that all the would-be robbers had been arrested, she immediately changed her clothes and went to the prison for interrogation overnight......

It wasn't until noon the next day that Jinxia, Xie Xiao, Cen Shou and others returned to the other courtyard yawning. Just fall in love with WwW. LＷＸＳ。 ＯＲＧ

"A person like Mrs. Qi, marrying a woman is really buried, interrogating more than 20 people overnight, this perseverance, this spiritual leader, is like a wolf......" sighed this summer, "I am really a model for my generation!" ”

Xie Xiao also sighed: "I thought that my sister was enough to be a heroine among women, but I really didn't expect that there would be a mountain high." ”

"According to their confessions, the Japanese are indeed coming to attack the city in three days," Cen Shou groaned, "Letter, Mrs. Qi has sent someone to General Qi to transfer troops back to defense, it should be too late." ”

Xie Xiao said lightly: "Don't worry now, Xinhe City is not in danger." ”

"When the city is unsealed, you can continue to fish." Say to him this summer.

"You haven't eaten enough fish?!"

"It's good to have money to earn, it's an entry." This summer said worriedly, "I don't know how the war in Cen Gang is, I don't know when Lord Lu will come to meet us, we can't sit back and eat." ”

The elder brother and the eldest prince had no news at all, and Cen Shou was also very worried: "After this battle, Xinhe City will stabilize and I want to take a trip to Cen Gang." ”

This remark is in the heart of this summer, and she said happily: "I think the same!" ”

***************************************************************************

I didn't rest all night, and I slept until the lights were on in the afternoon this summer before I was woken up by Chun Yumin.

"Miss Yuan, Miss Yuan......" Chun Yumin gently woke her up, "Brother Yang asked you to go down and eat something, if you go back to sleep, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Jinxia squinted and sat up, looking out in a daze: "Chunyu girl...... What time is it? Why is it all dark? ”

Chun Yumin pursed his lips and smiled: "It's already night, Brother Yang made a wine-brewed Lantern Festival, saying that you love to eat, so I specially asked me to call you." ”

Hearing the words "Wine Brewed Lantern Festival", this summer suddenly lifted his spirits: "Okay, good, I'll eat!" ”

Only then did he open the door, and suddenly heard the sound of "dangdangdang" striking gold and stone from far away from outside the courtyard, although the sound was far away, but it was very clear, every five times as a group, short and urgent, and people couldn't help but panic when they heard it.

Something happened?!

This summer's complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't care about Chun Yumin, so he ran out of his legs, and almost collided with Xie Xiao who ran out in the lobby.

"What's wrong? I don't sound right. Xie Xiao asked her anxiously.

Jin Xia shook his head: "I don't know, I don't think something is right too!" ”

At this time, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard, and the sound was as urgent and loud as the sound of the golden stone.

Xie Xiao quickly went to open the door and found that it was Uncle Xu, the housekeeper of Chunyu's family. Xu Bo said to them anxiously, "Did you hear this?" Did you hear that? ……”

"I heard, I heard." Xie Xiao was puzzled, "What does this mean by knocking back and forth?" ”

At this time, everyone who was alarmed by the sound of the golden stone also gathered and looked at Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu found Chun Yumin among the crowd, and hurriedly said to her: "Second girl, you hurry up and follow me to the cellar to hide, the widow is coming!" ”

Chun Yumin was stunned: "Where is the widow?" ”

"It is said that it is already outside the city...... Do you hear that? This is to tell the people of the city that there is a foreign enemy about to attack the city! Xu Bo said hurriedly.

This summer was puzzled and said, "No, I heard that the city will be attacked in three days, and it shouldn't be now." ”

"What's the difference between three days and now, anyway, the Japanese are coming, you should hurry up and follow me to the cellar."

The voice of "Dang Dang Dang" outside continued to sound rapidly, and this summer said to Yang Yue: "I'll go to Mrs. Qi and ask, what's going on?" You go with Uncle Xu first. ”

After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but her hand was grabbed by a person, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was Mrs. Shen.

“…… Maternal aunt. ”

In the past few days, I haven't talked much to Mrs. Shen this summer, and now I saw her holding her hand, estimating that she was going to stop her again, and I couldn't help frowning.

Although Mrs. Shen pulled her, her eyes looked at Uncle Beggar: "Brother Lu......"

Uncle Beggar didn't know her intentions, and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, I will follow this girl and won't let her go wrong." ”

"Thank you."

Uncle Beggar smiled: "Between you and me, wouldn't it be a difference to say this." ”

This summer understood what Mrs. Shen meant, although she didn't stop herself, she still didn't worry about going into danger by herself, so she asked Uncle Beggar to protect herself.

"Uncle, don't ...... I'm just going to Mrs. Qi to ask about the situation, and you should follow my aunt properly. Now that the situation is chaotic, there are also people in the city who take advantage of the chaos to rob, so I can rest assured that you follow my aunt. ”

Mrs. Shen stopped: "No......"

Cen Shou interrupted them and said neatly: "The current situation is unclear, you all listen to me, the two seniors and Miss Chunyu, as well as the Shangguan Hall Master and A Rui, all went to the cellar with Uncle Xu to hide, Yang Yue, you also go with you, and after placing them properly, then go back to the courtyard to wait for us." ”

Yang Yue had no objection and nodded.

"I, Xie Xiao and Miss Yuan went to find out the current situation with Mrs. Qi, and I will come back to meet you as soon as possible." Cen Shou then turned to Mrs. Shen, "Senior, Miss Yuan will be fine with me taking care of her, please rest assured, senior." ”

Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but this summer intercepted her words: "It's good, it's good, it's decided...... Let's go first! ”

As soon as the words fell, the people rushed out, and Cen Shou and Xie Xiao followed.

"This kid ......" Mrs. Shen looked at her back, she didn't have any way to do her, and sighed.

"Don't delay any longer, hurry up and pack up, come with me."

Uncle Xu urged them.

Listening to the tight sound of "Dangdang" outside, it really made people panic, and everyone hurriedly packed up their belongings and went to the cellar with Uncle Xu.

****************************************************************************

I just arrived at the house where Mrs. Qi lived, and I was shocked this summer, the door was open, and the people inside were busy and didn't even have the time to take care of them, and there was a scene of fierce soldiers and horses in front of me. In the house, the servants and maids shuttled back and forth, holding all kinds of knives in their hands, and under a closer look, there were even machetes for chopping wood and kitchen knives between the stoves.

Walking further inside, Mrs. Qi was writing in the inner hall, and the maid next to her was holding a written notice to dry.

"Madame......"

As soon as he opened his mouth this summer, he was stopped by the maid next to him, signaling that Mrs. Qi was busy and should not be disturbed. Although Xie Xiao and Cen Shou were anxious, Mrs. Qi was a female generation after all, and they were not reckless, so they had to wait impatiently.

After only a few moments, this summer tilted his head and read the notice that was drying, which stated that reinforcements would arrive soon, and that the people of the city should not be alarmed, and that men under the age of 60 should go to the east gate at this time, and those who did not attend would be dealt with in detail.

Men under 60 years of age? Could it be that Mrs. Qi still expects them to go into battle to kill the enemy?

This summer, the three of them looked at each other, and they all felt that this thing was simply rushing ducks to the shelves.

Finally, Mrs. Qi finished writing the notice and ordered her soldiers to take it out and post it on the main road in the city. This summer was about to speak, but Mrs. Qi had already walked past her quickly, walked into the small courtyard, and looked at the piles of knives, guns, and sticks in front of her, including machetes and kitchen knives.

"Mrs. Qi, what's wrong?" This summer only asked.

Mrs. Qi said in a deep voice, "Exploring the Malay report, I found an army of Japanese invaders twenty miles away, heading towards Xinhe City. I guess that the army may be in the city in the second half of the night. ”

Cen Shou was puzzled: "Didn't you say that three days later would be the day of the attack?" The more than 20 widows who have been tried are all in the same way, and there should be no mistake. ”

"Whether they tell the truth or not, how the Japanese army is already twenty miles away, do you expect them to stay outside the city for three days before attacking the city?" Because of anxiety, Mrs. Qi's tone was not good.

"Maybe it's because of that Oriental, it's our negligence." This summer pondered and analyzed, "Seeing that he didn't go back, the Japanese were afraid that things would change, so they decided to attack the city in advance. ”

"It's possible." Mrs. Qi said, "But now is not the time to find the reason, as you know, there are less than 100 pro-soldiers in the city, and the rest are ordinary people except for the family members in the army, and they have not undergone any training, so they can't go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Xie Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "Then you can only defend to the death, no matter how many people are left, fight with them!" ”

This summer looked at the blades in one place and asked, "There are not enough weapons?" I'm afraid there aren't many people who can use it. ”

"Don't use them, just take them!" Mrs. Qi said.

"What can you do with it!" Xie Xiao shook his head again and again, "I won't do it, giving him a knife is no different from giving him a mallet, and in the end he will die in vain." ”

Cen Shou also frowned: "Madam, why don't you think about how to transfer people out of the city?" ”

"It's too late! Most of the people in the city are old and weak, women and children, and there are not enough chariots and horses, so they can't escape far by walking alone. Mrs. Qi said, "Defending the city and waiting for reinforcements, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”

"Defending the city?" There are blades all over the ground, and there are even moldy and rusty ones, and this summer feels that this matter is really too difficult, "Madam, with all due respect, it is impossible to defend the city with these. ”

Mrs. Qi's face was not shocked: "I know that the disparity in strength is too great, so I can only put up an empty city plan." ”

"Empty City Plan!"

Cen Shou and Xie Xiao were stunned at the same time, and they were stunned this summer.

Mrs. Qi said: "At present, the Japanese in the city have been arrested by us, and the Japanese outside the city do not know the situation in the city, how many garrisons are left in the city, and what the strength is, they don't know at all. As long as there were enough soldiers standing on the walls, they would think that there were too many garrisons in the city to attack easily. ”

"But with these blades...... "Summer's frowning at the blades," he said, "will show his feet, ma'am." ”

Mrs. Qi stared at the blades on the ground, and after a moment, she said decisively: "Go to the armory and get the blades!" ”

The armory is where the Qi family army stores weapons, in addition to swords, guns, swords, halberds, and firearms. This is a place of great service, and only those who have the General's Token can order the guards to open the storedoor. Lao Nie, the leader of the guards guarding the armory, has been under General Qi for many years, and he is meticulous in his work, and he only recognizes General Qi alone, even if Hu Zongxian comes to ask him to open the warehouse door, he can ask to see General Qi's token without changing his face.

At this time, in the face of Mrs. Qi's request, Lao Nie gave a salute first, and then said officially: "Madam, to open the armory, you must hold the general's token, you know." ”

Mrs. Qi naturally knew, and said kindly at the moment: "The general left the token in a hurry, and he didn't leave the token, and he didn't expect that the Japanese would come to attack Xinhe City. At present, the situation is critical, and you open the warehouse, and all the responsibilities are borne by me. ”

Lao Nie was not in a hurry, and said politely: "Madame's words are different, the general handed over the armory to me, and asked me Lao Nie to guard it strictly, and there is no room for mistakes." No matter who you are, if you don't have a token in your hand, Lao Nie, I will never let you take half a step. ”

Listening under the stone steps, Jin Xia whispered to Xie Xiao: "It's all burning eyebrows, how can this old guy be so roundabout?" ”

Xie Xiao frowned and said, "If you want me to say, what do you have to say to him, go forward and put it down directly." ”

Old Nie's ear power is very good, and when he heard Xie Xiao's words under the stone steps, he looked at Jinxia, Xie Xiao, Cen Shou and others all had very angry eyes, and snorted coldly: "Madam, let Lao Nie say more, these people are unknown, and they are not from my Qi family's army." Madame Mo listened to their instigation, and acted rashly. ”

Mrs. Qi thought that he was an old man in front of General Qi, although she was full of anxiety, but she still spoke to him politely before, all for the sake of General Qi's face, and now seeing that he still relied on the old man to teach himself, she couldn't help but be annoyed: "I naturally have my own sense of doing things, what is called listening to the instigation of others." The Japanese will soon have troops in the city, you hurry up and open the storehouse, I need weapons to meet the enemy. ”

Lao Nie didn't give in, ** said: "There is no general token, forgive me!" ”

"You ......" Mrs. Qi took a step forward, her eyes full of anger, "Are you opening or not?!" ”

"Forgive me!"

The next moment, Mrs. Qi had already made a move, and her palm was wonderful, like a swallow wearing flowers, and Lao Nie was slapped to the ground before she could see it clearly. The other guards were shocked and were about to rush forward, when they heard Mrs. Qi shouting: "I want to see who dares to step forward!" Who dares to step forward?! ”

She stood in front of the warehouse, looked at everyone, and asked twice, one as heavy as a sound, and no one dared to step forward.

Lao Nie's legs and feet hurt, he helped Kumen, barely stood up, pointed at Mrs. Qi and said, "You...... You woman ......"

Mrs. Qi's face was as cold as ice, and she interrupted him: "The Japanese are about to come to the city, and Xinhe City is in danger, what kind of thing are you, you are extremely pedantic, dare to stop me from taking weapons against the enemy!" Hurry up and open the door! Wait for Qi Jiguang to come back, let him just come to me! ”

Unexpectedly, she dared to call the general by his name, Lao Nie was intimidated by her momentum, and no longer said more, stood up tremblingly, took out the key, and opened the door of the armory.

After watching this excitement, this summer admired Mrs. Qi so much that she fell to the ground, and exclaimed: "Madam, what a man!" ”

These words sounded awkward, Xie Xiao glanced at her: "Is it a compliment?" ”

Ignoring him this summer, he stepped forward to enter the armory with Mrs. Qi.

There are really a lot of weapons that can be used in the armory, from rattan cards, knives, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows to all kinds of firearms. Mrs. Qi ordered someone to drag the only big gun up the city wall, and then distributed the remaining twenty or thirty guns to her own soldiers, but anyone who received the torch had to go up the city wall.

This summer, I was not used to firearms, so I picked a bow and arrow, and put the quiver on my back.

Xie Xiao and Cen Shou both used the three-eyed firearms they had collected from Dong San before, and they didn't forget to leave a handful for Yang Yue.

After Mrs. Qi counted the remaining big knives, wolf swords, spears, etc., she ordered all of them to be carried under the East City Gate. When the time came, the men under sixty years of age in the city gathered at the gates, and she selected among them the young and strong, distributed their weapons, and immediately ordered them to go up to the city wall and wait for them.
