Xiyang County Mansion, Xiyang County Duchess Wei Chi Chi Fan and surrounded by maids into a house, this house is different from other houses in the house, from the outside there is no window, not even where the vent is, the door looks heavy, not like a wooden door.

"Don't worry, madam, please wait in the house." Liu Caiyun smiled and comforted, her husband Zhang Dingfa is the commander of the mansion's guards, so he is very confident in the measures taken by the mansion tonight.

"But we can go in and hide, but what about the servants in the house?" Wei Chi Chi Fan was a little worried, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but the thieves are in trouble as expected, then his mansion is the first to bear the brunt, if the thieves climb over the wall and come in, it will inevitably be a vicious fight, and the servants who have nowhere to escape are afraid that they will suffer.

Liu Caiyun said that there was not only a place of refuge in the house, but according to Steward Li's arrangement, all irrelevant servants had been evacuated separately for shelter, and there was no need to worry, that is to say, "everything is in the hands of the county prince", Anu on the side looked disdainful when he heard this.

"It's a good saying, everything is under control, and now people have to hide and take refuge, this is playing with fire and self-immolation!" She thought so in her heart, but she didn't speak when she saw Lord Lang Yang Lihua glaring at her.

When he entered the room, he thought he would do it, but he didn't expect to have to go down the stairs, and after walking through a not narrow tunnel and going up the stairs, Lieutenant Chi Chifan found himself in a room.

Specifically, there are several rooms, there are no windows everywhere, it should be underground, but there is no feeling of stuffiness at all, it seems to be the same as on the ground, the room is fully furnished and there are candles, and the candles lit at the same time are not many, but they are enough to illuminate the rooms.

"Madame and the two side ladies, please go to their respective rooms to rest, there is clean water here, and pastries can be picked up if needed." Liu Caiyun introduced the rooms quite familiarly.

This is not the first time she has been here, so she knows the structure and function of each place very well. According to the arrangement of Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, it can be used for 20 people to live in isolation from the outside world for half a month, and they are not afraid of smoke and fire outside.

Wei Chi Chifan looked at the situation in this shelter and felt a little relieved. Here, she had heard her husband mention that she knew that there was food and that there were wells dug, so she could take refuge behind closed doors with peace of mind. Yu Wenwen's eldest son and her eldest son were also carried by the nurse and accompanied their respective mothers in, and now they are sleeping peacefully in their arms.

A few more people came in, but it was the housekeeper Li Sanjiu, Lin Youdi, Zhang Yiman, and Hu Sanzi, who explained the current situation to the main mother and the two side ladies after asking for peace: "The master mother, the two side ladies, the lord of Lang is commanding the guards to deploy and say that they can't come here in person, please wait here, this matter will be seen about tomorrow morning, please rest in peace with the main mother and the two side ladies." ”

"Have all the servants in the house been evacuated?" Wei Chi Chi asked.

"Please rest assured, except for the guards, there is no one in the mansion waiting for them." Li Sanjiu replied that since he rescued Wei Chi Chi Fan from the palace in February last year, he hid with the other party as a servant for more than a month, and after coming to Anlu, he was also entrusted with the important task of housekeeping as a confidant among his henchmen, and he was regarded as a person that Wei Chi Chifan trusted very much.

"What the hell is going on?" Wei Chi Chifan was very concerned about this. A good Chinese New Year's Eve meal did not finish the accident, the husband took office to clear the accumulated evils will definitely provoke the local powerful to resist is expected, but now this situation seems to be even the mansion is about to be attacked, how to make her not worried.

"Mistress, the lord said that there are two groups of guests at the table of wine banquet that he has prepared, and now he is working overtime to add a place to serve the food." Lin Youdi replied that he, Zhang Yiman, Hu Sanzi, and Steward Li are now responsible for guarding the inner layer of the shelter to protect Lord Lang's daughter.

"That being the case, then you will be labored to-night." Yu Chi Chi nodded his head, her husband has always been mysterious and secretive, so she doesn't have to think much about things outside, and as an eldest woman, she has to do her part.

She arranged for the two 'sisters' to rest in their respective rooms, and the two little Langjun were also carried by the nurse to their respective mothers' rooms to rest, and the little girl Yuwen Eying wanted to follow to the 'Aunt Xiao' room to play chess, but Yang Lihua stopped drinking.

Seeing the little girl pouting, Li Sanjiu stepped forward to relieve the siege and said that the little girl didn't have a maid, and she could play chess with the maid to relieve her boredom, but Yuwen Eying was unrelenting and asked Aunt Xiao to play with herself, Li Sanjiu coughed dryly and asked Zhang Yiman and Hu Sanzi to be substitutes for the dead ghosts.

Yang Lihua saw Xiao Jiuniang talking in Wei Chi Chi's room, so she motioned for Anu to follow her back to the room. After looking at her son, the nurse scolded her personal maid in a low voice: "Why are you always disrespectful to the county prince!" ”

"The slave knows it's wrong," Anu said with her head down, but her heart was still full of disdain: it was clear that Lord Lang had repeatedly reminded that hateful bastard to be careful of the counterattack of the powerful and powerful, but the guy always looked like he didn't care.

It's good now. The whole family hid underground to be mice, didn't they say that they were all under control, how could they make their family members so embarrassed!

Yang Lihua couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Anu Yan, it was expected that something would happen tonight, but it was unexpected for the family to hide in the underground secret room, but she was confident that her husband could solve the problem.

"It's going to be solved, definitely." ……

In the southwest corner of Xiyang City, the streets were full of blood, and the soldiers of the Chen Army who were rushing towards the mansion of Xiyang County were intercepted and killed and wounded, and they saw that they were less than a hundred steps closer to the mansion but were pierced by a huge arrow shot from the house across the intersection in front of them at the T-junction.

The giant arrow easily pierced the first soldier in two armors, then the second, and did not stop until the third was penetrated, and the three fell to the ground like grasshoppers strung on a straw rope with huge arrows attached.

A total of three giant arrows were fired, killing ten people in an instant, and just as the soldiers of the Chen army rushed forward with all their might, they had just run more than ten steps and fired giant arrows on the opposite side, killing eight more people.

In desperation, they split into two sides of the road, and the walls on both sides of the road were used to avoid the arrows, and after a while, seeing that there was no movement in the houses on the other side, they scattered one by one, and when they came to the junction, the sound of the house breaking through the air suddenly became loud, and the arrows rained down on their ranks.

"It's a crossbow arrow, everyone be careful!"

Some ran so fast that they rushed to the intersection and turned left, but found a wall across the street, and the wall was actually made up of sandbags, just blocking the corner, so that they could not advance, and these soldiers could not advance or retreat, and were immediately killed by crossbow arrows.

"Shield, shield!"

After a moment of panic, the shield hand stepped forward to protect the soldiers behind him. I thought that I would at least be able to stand firm in this way, but unexpectedly, the huge arrow that had been silent was fired again, directly piercing the soldier holding the shield behind it through the shield.

"Rush. Rush up! General Chen, who was in charge of the formation, howled. Since the other party is prepared, staying on the uncovered street at such a time is to seek death, and the soldiers also know this truth, and desperately stare at the corpse of their comrade and rush forward with a shield.

They had to rush through this intersection with great strength and strength, because the Xiyang County Mansion was not far from the left turn at the intersection, and after bearing a round of huge arrows, they came to the intersection and were about to climb the low wall made of sandbags, when suddenly there was a loud noise, and then they fell into the air.

The dust flew up and screamed again and again, and a big hole suddenly appeared at the intersection, trapping dozens of Chen soldiers into it, and the soldiers behind saw this, their faces turned pale and they couldn't help retreating, but how did the people behind know what to do in front of them.

"What's going on! How can there be traps on this street! General Chen, who was in the rear supervision array, shouted angrily at a person, who was the guide sent by Tian Yuansheng to lead this Chen army to outflank the Xiyang County Mansion.

Faced with the question, where can he answer, this intersection is full of people and carriages passing by during the day, where someone thinks that there is a big hole. Besides, if the digging is not small, I have never heard of it, unless it is night.

By the way, now this curfew is very strict, everyone stays at home at night unless there is something urgent, and this Yuwenwen is the biggest official in Bazhou, so it is very convenient to dig a pit when there is no one everywhere at night!

General Chen heard the guide say this, which was a puzzle, but it was of no help to change the current situation, the road ahead was cut off, and it was useless to stay here, so he had no choice but to command the remaining soldiers to retreat and join the Chen army on other roads.

Compared with this way, Chen Jun was slightly luckier, they did not encounter a pit, but a general obstacle, but when they climbed over the obstacles on the street, they were waiting for someone and shot more than ten people with a bow and crossbow.

This street is the only way to the main gate of the Xiyang County Mansion, two hundred steps away, five obstacles, and Chen Jun will lose more than ten lives every time he climbs over one of them, these obstacles are bamboo cages loaded with stones, and there are many ropes tied to it, and it is difficult to move over them.

The soldiers with shields were the first to go up, but they were so easy to stay that they were only on guard when they crossed the barrier, but they did not expect that there were also ambushes on the roofs on both sides of the street, and crossbowmen came to shoot them down with a dive shot, and after they crossed the last obstacle, nearly 100 people were killed along the way.

Chen Shuling stepped over the corpse of a Chen soldier on the ground with an expressionless face, and walked forward, surrounded by a circle of guards, guarding the surroundings from time to time, lest the archers from the roof burst out of the roof and release cold arrows.

This was an expected interception, but Chen Shuling judged that what the other party originally wanted to guard against was the counterattack of the big families in the city, but he did not expect that he would take Chen's army north into the city. It's ridiculous, that Yuwen Wen thought that he had set up an ambush, and he was waiting for the Tian family and the big families in the city to come to death, but he didn't know that there was still a yellow finch behind.

There are houses on both sides, and the residents are hiding in their homes and shivering, if they do what they do on weekdays, Chen Shuling has already ordered the soldiers to loot at this time. Robbing money, food, and women as trophies to reward soldiers, but now he strictly ordered everyone not to do anything else before he broke through Yuwenwen's mansion.

As long as he can catch Yuwen Wen and avenge his disfigurement, then even if he slaughters Xiyang City, he doesn't care, everything has to be put aside, take this matter as a priority, and the Chen army who entered the city will all go to Yuwen Wen's mansion except for guarding the south gate and the main intersections along the road so as not to be copied by others.

Chen Shuling seemed to have stepped on a sleek thing, causing him to stand unsteadily, but fortunately he was held up by the people around him, but when he looked down, it was a dead Chen soldier, who was lying facing up, with a crossbow arrow tied to his right eye socket, and his face was bloody.

'Rubbish! Chen Shuling sneered in his heart, and then stepped forward without a trace of mercy, these soldiers have been bought by him, so they are not worthy of sympathy, in order to take revenge, he not only rewarded the soldiers, but also promised the Tian and Lu families on the outskirts of Xiyang City a heavy reward.

The other party helped him deal with Yuwenwen, he must not be able to stay in Jiangbei, Chen Shuling has already drawn a mountain and fertile land on the boundary of Wuchang County to settle down and settle the clansmen as a reward, he can be said to have scattered all his family wealth in order to successfully take Yuwenwen in one fell swoop.

"The king, you have already attacked the front of the mansion!" A soldier ran to tell him.

When Chen Shuling heard this, he looked up and saw that his soldiers had rushed to the front of a mansion, he looked back at the black-pressed soldiers, pulled out their sabers and shouted: "Attack in!" There is a big reward for winning Yuwen Wenben King! ”

A terrible sound sounded from the front house, and everyone looked up to see that it was a ringing arrow with fire in the sky, it seemed that the people inside were sending a signal for help, Chen Shuling laughed loudly when he heard it: "Asking for help?" It's late! ”

"Yuwenwen, this king wants you to live, you can't die!" (To be continued.) )
