Seeing that the man's face was full of anger and he was about to do it again, Xu Yao took two steps back, staring at the man with burning eyes, "My cousin is outside, if you dare to do anything to me, he will definitely not let you go." ”

Cousin?

A touch of gloom flashed in the man's eyes, and then he was happy. That being the case, then things are much easier.

Before Xu Yao could react, there was an extra big knife with a cold light on his neck. The bandit leader didn't have the slightest intention of pity and cherishing the jade, and his hands were not light or heavy, Xu Yao had already made a cut on his neck, and blood overflowed. Xu Yao was injured on her body, and she was so weak that she couldn't stand at all, and she was almost carried by the man behind her.

The man held Xu Yao hostage and moved out step by step, and said coldly, "Stop!" ”

The people around immediately stopped when they heard this, and subconsciously looked in the direction of their respective bosses.

Originally, everyone thought that this man was just holding a woman hostage at random, but when Chu Changfeng saw the woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect to meet Xu Yao here.

Her clothes and skirts were torn and disheveled, and her close-fitting clothes and snow-white skin were now bruised and purple, and she didn't have to think about it to know what had happened before he came. Chu Changfeng's hand holding the reins tightened a little unconsciously, clicking, and looking at the man behind Xu Yao as if he was looking at a dead man.

Seeing that Chu Changfeng looked at him indifferently and didn't say a word, the bandit leader's eyes flashed a little ruthless, and the big knife in his hand tightened a little, Xu Yao was so frightened that he screamed "ahhhhhh ”

Xu Yao, who was held by the knife, trembled with fright, and his neck was cut several times under the friction of the big knife. The leader of the bandits walked out of the broken temple with Xu Yao in tow, his eyes looked directly at Chu Changfeng, although he did not speak, but Chu Changfeng read what he meant, and immediately raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop first and retreat.

The rest of the bandits were all officers and soldiers with big swords pointed directly at Chu Changfeng, and they retreated step by step, protecting the bandit leader. Although the officers and soldiers on Chu Changfeng's side stopped but did not withdraw their weapons, they surrounded those bandits in the middle, blocking their retreat.

Today, the team led by Chu Changfeng had not seen anyone from the Anping Marquis Mansion before, and naturally they didn't know any Xu Yao. It's just that I subconsciously thought that my adults didn't want these bandits to hurt the innocent, but after hearing what the woman was shouting, everyone was slightly stunned.

This woman is the general's cousin?!

"What do you want to do?" Chu Changfeng asked in a hoarse voice.

"Let us go!" The man's emotions were a little excited, and he pushed Xu Yao forward two steps, "You let us go, and when we are safe, I will naturally let her go." ”

"Okay, I promise you."

Chu Changfeng glanced at the people beside him, and those people immediately understood the meaning, took the long sword, and retreated behind Chu Changfeng. Seeing the group of bandits walking farther and farther, a person beside Chu Changfeng approached Chu Changfeng with some embarrassment and whispered, "General! ”

Chu Changfeng raised his hand in the air to stop the man's words, and stared at the man opposite with burning eyes, "Now you can let her go." ”

"I'm not that stupid, if you let her go now, will you let me go?" The man snorted coldly and ordered Chu Changfeng to prepare a fast horse for him, and just as he was about to turn over and get on the horse, an arrow feather broke out of the air and pierced his heart from behind.

The men below arrived as if they had been ordered, half of them rode fast horses to chase the bandits who had just fled, and the rest cleared the battlefield. It was the man who was shot by Chu Changfeng's arrow, and someone stepped forward to make up for two swords, and he was relieved after seeing him breathe.

Xu Yao, who was watching this scene, was so frightened that she screamed, and curled herself up on the ground with her head in her hands. She didn't realize the tension just now, but only then did she realize how inappropriate her dress was. She really didn't have the face to face Chu Changfeng with this appearance, and there were so many men.

After those men cleaned up the battle situation, one of them took a cloak and handed it to Chu Changfeng with great eyesight, and then led everyone around to check the situation.

Chu Changfeng took the cloak handed over by his subordinates and put it on Xu Yao's body. When Chu Changfeng's hand touched Xu Yao's shoulder, he obviously felt Xu Yao's body tremble.

Chu Changfeng's hand stiffened, his eyes fell on her tense face, and in the end he didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, just tied the cloak for her in silence, raised his hand and patted her head gently, just like when he was a child.

"Cousin!" Xu Yao suddenly cried suddenly, and her tears flowed directly outside as if she didn't want money. If she is still the same Xu Yao as before, crying like this can still be said to be pear blossoms with rain, delicate and moving. But she is dirty all over her body at the moment, and this crying is really not good-looking.

Xu Yao has been embarrassed all the way, and has escaped death several times, but at this moment, seeing Chu Changfeng gently coaxing himself, he threw himself into Chu Changfeng's arms like a frightened child and cried bitterly. Tears flowed from the wound on her face, and the pain changed immediately, but she didn't care about her own wound, and only firmly grasped the placket on Chu Changfeng's chest, as if grasping her last life-saving straw.

Chu Changfeng couldn't help but snort when he was slammed by her, and after reacting, he hurriedly reached out and wanted to push Xu Yao away. Who knew that Xu Yao was holding her waist tightly and not letting go, crying so much that she couldn't even breathe, she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, raised her hand and patted her back for a while, and said softly, "Okay, it's okay, you let me go first, okay?" ”

Changzhou City.

Xu Jiayi dragged her tired body back to Fengyuan step by step, and scribbled some food. Mama Hua saw that Xu Jiayi's face was ugly, so she suggested that Xu Jiayi go to the house to sleep for a while.

"I'm not sleepy." Xu Jiayi subconsciously opened her mouth to refuse.

Now that Changzhou is at stake, everyone is running for it, how can she rest.

The people of Changzhou City still need her.

In fact, if it weren't for the men who came out of the prison to go up to the city tower with weapons to fight the barbarians, if it weren't for the strong women who also stood on the city tower and died generously, if it weren't for the fact that they came up with some unexpected tricks to delay, Changzhou would not have survived now. But even so, Xu Jiayi knew in her heart that Changzhou couldn't hold on.

She had planned to send away the old and weak women and children before the barbarians really invaded the city. But they all fell to their knees and begged her not to send them away, they were willing to stay here, even if it was possible to die. In fact, they were really sent away, and Xu Jiayi was not sure that they could really leave Changzhou intact.

In this battlefield, the odds of winning are too small and too small. But even if all the people in Changzhou are working hard for the one percent chance, how can she give up on them first?

But Xu Jiayi felt that she couldn't hold on anymore. Reaching out to cover her lower abdomen, Xu Jiayi was glad more than once that the child in her belly was a good child who hurt people, at least when she was running around and tired, this child never caused her trouble.

Xu Jiayi has even figured out what the child's name will be after birth, and it will be called Lele. Whether it is a boy or a girl, she doesn't ask him to have much ability or get ahead, she just thinks that he can be safe and happy all his life.

But after a trance, she recovered, and Mama Hua wanted to say something more, but she saw someone come in and swallowed all the words back. It was two men who came in to report the specific situation in Changzhou City, Xu Jiayi asked about the wounded, food and housing, etc., and after the people below answered one by one, Xu Jiayi told to arrange some things before sending people out.

Mama Hua glanced at her expression, her face was haggard, and Xu Jiayi, who was obviously unable to support but was stubborn, said leisurely, "Madam, you have been resting well for several days, and if you don't sleep anymore, if you are tired, the gains outweigh the losses, and there are still such big things waiting for you to deal with in Changzhou." ”

"Madam, what Mama Hua said makes sense. You can go to the house and rest for a while, if there is anything, Cuiyun and I will call you. Yuanxiang also persuaded on the side.

Cuiyun nodded again and again, she was really a little worried about Xu Jiayi.

"Okay...... If anything, wake me up. Before going to sleep, Xu Jiayi commanded.

Waiting for Xu Jiayi to rest, Mama Hua glanced at the two little girls in the room, and was also distressed, "Okay, Madame, I'll guard here, and you two will go and rest for a while." ”

Yuan Xiang opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but Cuiyun pulled her sleeves first, grabbed her in front of her and nodded, "Then Madam will bother with Mama Hua here." ”

Mama Hua waved her hand to let the two girls go down, and after everyone was gone, Mama Hua lightly withdrew from the door and stayed under the porch. Suddenly thinking of something, Mama Hua folded her hands and closed her eyes and bowed in the direction of the temple, praying in her heart to the Buddha that the prince and the Hou Ye would return as soon as possible, and prayed that Xu Jiayi and the fetus would be safe.

"Madame! Madam! The moment the voice outside the door sounded, Xu Jiayi had already woken up. Hearing the movement in the house, Mama Hua didn't have time to reprimand the little maid who ran in at a startled startle, turned her head and went in to help Xu Jiayi get up.

Madame hadn't closed her eyes for two days, and now it was easy for the barbarian to retreat and have a chance to breathe before he could sleep for a while, but it hadn't been an hour before and after, and something had happened again. While helping Xu Jiayi out of the door, he secretly dragged out the eighteen generations of those barbarian ancestors in his heart and greeted them.

Xu Jiayi hurriedly walked out of the house and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, is the barbarians attacking again?" What about the housekeeper? ”

In fact, the barbarians did not retreat, but they camped a mile away from the gate of Changzhou, and did not have a strong siege. Under normal circumstances, they would storm the city gate several times a day, and after about two or three hours, they would retreat and rest for a while, and then wait for an opportunity to move.

Sometimes it's a meal, sometimes it's late at night, all the time it's possible.

So when Xu Jiayi heard the maid's voice, the first thing that came to mind was this.

"It's not." The little maid was stunned, only to know that Xu Jiayi had misunderstood what she meant, and said with a happy smile, "Madame, don't worry, the barbarians didn't attack, it's the son of the world who has returned!" ”
