Chapter 457: Chaos in the City
said that when Xu Xuan came to Jirentang, he saw Wu Renjie sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, watching his wife and Yulian pack up their things.
Wu Yulian packed a few clothes, but threw the burden in her hand on the table, came to Wu Renjie's side, stretched out her hand and hugged Wu Renjie's arm and shook it, "Dad, you just follow us, my mother and I are two weak women, how dangerous it is on this road, can you rest assured that we will go by ourselves?" ”
Wu Niangzi on the side also stopped moving, looked at her own officials, and persuaded, "Officials, now the situation in the city is chaotic, and many of the soldiers defending the city have also been transferred, and now the rest are some new soldiers, I think this Suzhou City can't be defended, it's better for the officials to go with me, the Tartars broke through the city, and the officials got away, and naturally no one pursued it......"
As Wu Niangzi spoke, she saw Wu Renjie's face turn pale, and quickly closed her mouth.
Wu Renjie looked at his old wife, then at his daughter, thinking of saying goodbye today, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see them again, so he didn't lose his temper at the lady, but just sighed and said, "Lady, if you can, I will naturally go with you." Do you really think that I will really be relieved when you two go? ”
As he spoke, seeing the confusion on his wife's face, he explained, "Lady, now Suzhou Mansion can't guard it, but I'm also from Suzhou Mansion, and I've been a doctor for many years. You can rest assured, the doctors of our Three Emperors Patriarch Association will not leave, but the Patriarch Association has already arranged it, and the doctors and families in our city are all going together, and there are officers and soldiers guarding them, no one dares to do anything to you. ”
Wu Yulian heard that Wu Renjie seemed to be arranging the aftermath, and her heart was already flustered, and she hugged Wu Renjie's arm and cried, "Dad, can't you go with us?" I don't want any gold and silver jewelry, and I don't want to mess around, I just need my father to accompany me."
Seeing his daughter's true feelings, Wu Renjie's eyes were also red, if he could, how could he not want to follow his relatives? It's just that he is blind and can't walk. He waved at his wife beside him and said, "What are you still doing?" Why don't you hurry up and leave with your daughter? ”
Mrs. Wu also knew that the situation was urgent, and she didn't care about crying, so she was about to leave with her daughter.
Wu Renjie thought about it, and hurriedly said to his own lady, "Lady, wait, if you pass by the security hall, remember to inform Xu Xuan and ask him to arrange for his lady to leave quickly, this Tartar is more ferocious than the Jin people, after breaking the city, burning, killing and looting will naturally be done, Xu Xuan's lady is so beautiful, it will definitely be difficult to escape, and she is already pregnant with Xu Xuan's child, it is always good to leave some blood and bones for the Xu family." ”
Wu Niangzi and Wu Yulian listened to this, nodded, and hurriedly went out, and when they arrived at the door, Wu Yulian stopped and turned around and blessed Wu Renjie, and then left in a hurry.
Xu Xuan, who was standing outside the door, did not come in at this time, and saw Wu Yulian disappearing into the corner, so he pushed the door and walked in, "Uncle Shi." ”
Wu Renjie, who was sitting in the room in a daze, heard Xu Xuan's voice at this time, and suddenly stood up from the chair, and saw Xu Xuan open the door curtain and come in, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, why are you?" Just now, I also asked Yulian and them to inform you and let you leave quickly, now that the city is in chaos, Lord Chen is going to mobilize us doctors, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. Oh, by the way, you're here for me today? ”
When Xu Xuan heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Uncle Shi, the Tartars are besieging the city, but the military doctors in the city have been transferred away by Zhang Zhizhi, if the war is fierce, the remaining military doctors are afraid that they will not be able to keep busy, so Lord Chen asked to send doctors in our city to prepare to treat the wounded." I pondered that I was still young in Suzhou, and those doctors didn't know me well, so I asked my uncle to go with me."
When Wu Renjie heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Xu Xuan had also been an official, and now it was natural for him to do things for the imperial court, so he smiled and said, "What should I do, you can rest assured of this, the patriarch will have already held a meeting, Zheng Huishou asked our doctors in the city to stay and help defend the city, no need for me to go, the big guy will also listen to your arrangement." ”
"Where is it so easy, let's bother Uncle Shi to go with me" Xu Xuan begged again on the side.
Wu Renjie saw Xu Xuan like this, so he had no choice but to follow Xu Xuan, go to the doctor in Suzhou City, and rule door to door.
There are not many doctors in the city, and the Patriarch Association has already notified them, this time Xu Xuan and Wu Renjie really didn't notify a few, and they wanted to return to the mansion directly. When passing through the city gate, I saw a panic, and the people who were about to leave the city ran back one by one in a panic, and some people shouted, "Run, the Tartars have killed people!" ”
As the people out of the city ran into the city, they collided with the flow of people out of the city, and the narrow city gate was suddenly crowded. I saw that these people's faces turned pale with fear, and they became hideous and terrifying.
The whining trumpet sounded at the city gate, and then the officers at the city gate, hearing the sound of the trumpet, also became a little alarmed, and shouted loudly, "The Tartars are coming, close the city gates!" ”
The soldiers on both sides of the city gate heard the officer shouting, and the three soldiers at the city gate gritted their teeth and pushed the city gate hard, and the crowd inside the city gate was quickly divided into two halves by the gate. The crowd in the city gate cave saw that the city gate began to close, and one by one shouted in panic, "Let me in," "Help."
"Official, official, save me" "Child, my child! ”
The shouts and cries for help made Xu Xuan's scalp a little numb. He watched the city gate slowly close, and the people in the gate cave were forcibly divided into two halves, and those who were pushed outside the city by the city gate became the targets of the Tartars to slaughter at will.
Wu Renjie didn't seem to have seen such a murderous thing, and his face turned a little pale when he saw it. Xu Xuan on the side has seen a worse situation in Lin'an, but seeing such a tragic situation in the city gate, he can't help but feel a little sad, but he also knows that the success of the Tartar is imminent, if it is the benevolence of the woman, the Tartar is afraid that he will attack from this city gate.
Wu Renjie really didn't want to meet such a chaotic situation before meeting, but he couldn't do anything, so he turned around and pulled Xu Xuan towards the city gate.
Xu Xuan's mood is complicated, now he is just a small low-level official in the Great Song Dynasty, what he said, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate don't look at him, this kind of powerless situation makes Xu Xuan feel a deep sense of frustration. At this time, he was pulled by Wu Renjie, and came to the city wall in a trance.
