382. Escape
'Boom! At that moment, the gate was broken open from the outside with great force. The aftermath of the power tossed most of the people in the room to the ground.
"Xiao Wan!"
Hearing this shout, Nangong Wan looked up at the door fiercely, and the tears that he had been holding back burst out of his eyes, "Qingshuang, Qingshuang......." But only she could hear the voice.
"Here!" Du Ling put down the broken chair, raised his hand and shouted.
Fu Qingshuang strode into the house, and before the Tatar soldiers could react, they were already separated. Compared with the outside, there were only thirty or forty Tatar soldiers in the room, and seeing that Fu Qingshuang was so brave, he didn't dare to step forward to face the enemy. Fu Qingshuang paid attention to Nangong Wan in the lower corner, and there was no damage to it, so he simply raised his knife to clean up the enemy in the room first. Fortunately, there are not too many enemies who have really attacked Qiming Hall.
The movements were crisp and fast, covered in blood, and Fu Qingshuang, who was covered in blood and blood footprints step by step, made the Tatar soldiers afraid, especially the three or five Tatar soldiers who believed that they were strong in martial arts rushed forward, and in less than two or three rounds, they were all dead on the ground. At this moment, all the Tatar soldiers threw away the loot in their hands and directly raised their knives and rushed towards Fu Qingshuang.
Fu Qingshuang was short, and in the eyes of outsiders, at this moment, his whole person had been submerged in the enemy.
"Qingshuang, Qingshuang......." Nangong Wan stared at Fu Qingshuang's direction, and the panic on his face had turned into anxiety.
However, how could Fu Qingshuang be defeated so easily, only for a moment, a wave of qi shook the enemy away, and in an instant, the long knife waved, shuttling between the scattered enemies at a speed that could not be caught by the human eye, and when those people fell to the ground heavily, they were already exhausted. In an instant, there were no living Tatars in the room.
Fu Qingshuang rushed to the corner of the wall, "Xiao Wan! ā
Nangong Wan just burst into tears and looked at him stupidly.
"How are you? Are you hurt? Fu Qingshuang asked anxiously, there was no one else in his eyes.
"She wasn't hurt. Cheng Rui touched his head and needed to recuperate for a few days, and he might want to vomit after a while. There may be a crack in the ribs of the aunt, but I haven't looked at it closely. Chengjun has some traumatic ......, huh? What about Chengjun? Du Ling didn't care if he listened or not, Gu Zi said.
"IāI'm here." Not far away, on the side against the wall, Cheng Jun crawled out of the corpse, still not letting go of the big knife in his hand.
Fu Qingshuang glanced roughly into the room, and saw that several members of the Nangong family were there, so he relaxed a little and asked Zhou Tang: "Auntie, authentic?" ā
Zhou Tang pointed to a Buddhist shrine in the corner of the wall, "There are a few bricks on the wall under the offering table that are alive. Pushing it open is a downward passage, and you need to climb a distance of two or three zhang, which is a walkway that one person can pass....... ā
Zhou Tang was about to continue, but was stopped by Fu Qingshuang and nodded, "Okay." I know Pu has made all the arrangements. ā
Zhou Tang smiled slightly and said no more.
Fu Qingshuang said to Du Ling again: "You should explore the road first, and I will block the enemy." ā
"Huh?!" Du Ling's eyes widened. If it was an authentic, it must be pitch black inside, and he didn't even have a fire fold in his hand. And, in case this tunnel is useless for a long time, the air ....... Also, I can't tell you that I'm a little afraid of the dark, right?
"I'll go!" Cheng Jun wiped the blood on his face with his hand and said resolutely. "The entrance to the cave is small, and so am my body. In case something happens, it's easy to move. ā
"No, no!" Shen Xueying hurriedly grabbed Chengjun and cried.
Chengjun looked at Shen Xueying and said confidently like an adult: "Mother, my father has confessed, if he is not there, I will take on the responsibility of protecting everyone." Mother, I can. ā
"No, no......." Shen Xueying shook her head and looked at Chengjun with a heartache, "No, you are still a child...... ā
"Don't be afraid, Master taught me how to fight the enemy." Cheng Jun's calm comfort.
Fu Qingshuang looked at Cheng Jun and nodded, "Okay, then I'll believe you." There is not much time, and the action should be fast. He casually took out the fire fold and handed it to Cheng Jun, "Do you know how to use it?"
"Yes, Master has taught them all." Cheng Jun responded loudly.
Fu Qingshuang was a little uneasy, and instructed: "Everything in the tunnel is up to your grandmother, don't act recklessly." Then he turned to everyone in the room and said, "Now let's go into the basement and take shelter." Don't panic, everyone obeys the command of Old Madam Nangong. ā
The tunnel entrance is really not big, let Cheng Jun take the lead, and then Du Ling, Shen Xueying holding Cheng Rui, Nangong Wan and Zhou Tang, the surviving ladies and young ladies after them, and the people in the house all consciously lined up and entered one by one.
When it was Du Ling's turn, Fu Qingshuang pretended to be casual and whispered, "Can you stun someone all at once?" ā
Du Ling was stunned, first shook his head, thought about it and nodded, "If, if you are like this, I won't be able to, but, but if ......." ā
"You might have to hide in there for a long time. If the people in the back are disobedient, they will be stunned directly. If you are discovered by the enemy inside, you will be left with only a dead end. Fu Qingshuang whispered, "Everything listens to the old lady." ā
Du Ling nodded cautiously, and then followed Chengjun into the tunnel.
Fu Qingshuang leaned into Zhou Tang's ear and whispered, "Auntie, hide in the tunnel and don't go out of the city." Not to mention the tunnels that lead to the outside of the city. If there are disobedient ones, let Du Ling deal with them. When this is over, I'll pick you up. ā
Zhou Tang nodded, followed and climbed into the tunnel, and finally couldn't help but turn around and ask, "How is Ah Pu?" ā
"Okay." Fu Qingshuang said affirmatively.
These ladies and young ladies climbed very slowly. Fu Qingshuang stayed outside for a while before entering Sancheng. However, by this time, more Tatar soldiers had already rushed into Qiming Hall.
After slashing and killing several Tatar soldiers who tried to rush into the East Chamber, Fu Qingshuang finally got up in a hurry and shouted inside: "Hurry up! The Tartars are coming! Move fast! ā
The people in the room looked anxious, especially those at the back, but the speed did not increase significantly.
The defenses of the Qingfeng Hall had collapsed, and more and more Tatar soldiers poured in, and the West Chamber began to demolish the house. Fu Qingshuang didn't have the time to manage the West Chamber, he was tired of dealing with the Tatar soldiers coming in from various gaps in the East Chamber, and he didn't have time to kill them.
There was a rapid whistling sound in his ears, which was the code agreed upon when he and Nangong Pu were wandering the rivers and lakes, indicating that 'the situation is urgent, retreat immediately'.
Fu Qingshuang turned around and saw that there were more than a dozen people in the room who were lining up to enter the tunnel one by one. If Nangong Pu outside can't stand it, the Tatars will immediately rush into Qiming Hall, and they can't resist it at all, so it's best to retreat right now, but ....... As a last resort, there is only the howling of replying for help.
After only a few moments, I saw that the broken walls of Qiming Hall were constantly collapsing. The remaining Qingfeng Hall seemed to have been ordered to quickly retreat to Qiming Hall before the Tatar army, but the speed of the Tatar soldiers was not slow, and they followed the Qingfeng Hall and attacked the Qiming Hall.
Seeing that there were only more than a dozen people left, and a dense crowd of enemies, Fu Qingshuang gasped, became anxious, and shouted at the few people who were still queuing inside: "I'll set fire to block the door." Don't be afraid, this house is asbestos fireproof. You guys move fast, and I'll plug the tunnel in a moment. Fast! ā
Regardless of whether the people inside would panic or not, they quickly piled up wooden boards, calligraphy and paintings into a few gaps and ignited them.
"What are you doing?!" Nangong Pu flew over, mixed with blood.
"Set fire to the door! Fast! Fu Qingshuang didn't look at him, he was busy setting fires, but the fire never started. Here, another Tatar rushed into the east chamber, and Fu Qingshuang only rushed in several times to block it. When he went out again, he didn't know where Nangong Pu got the oil from, and the fire had been ignited.
At this time, the west wing was broken, and everyone hiding in the west wing rushed out crying, kicking and beating people when they saw them, but no matter what they did, it was almost useless.
Nangong Pu couldn't bear it in his heart, and led the remaining Qingfeng Hall several times to rush into the West Chamber to save people. But if you can't find a way to get these people out of here, it's all in vain. However, Fu Qingshuang was as stupid as him and stood behind him. No matter what, it's all about killing the enemy, and it's good to be able to protect a moment and a person.
The people behind him, under the command of Nangong Pu, had erected a hiding space with wooden planks. Half of the people were guarding the entrance of the east chamber, and half were guarding the enemy's attack in the west chamber. And Nangong Pu and Fu Qingshuang killed people in the enemy group.
The fire in front of the east chamber could not be lit because the wooden planks were too wet, and the open flames were almost invisible, but bursts of black smoke rose. The Qingfeng Hall who were originally guarding the east chamber couldn't help the choking smoke and slowly approached the west chamber.
"Is there anyone in the East Wing who hasn't entered the tunnel?" Nangong Pu asked anxiously, blocking the attacks of several big knives in his hands.
"There are a lot of people. The tunnel entrance is too small, and the speed is not so fast. Fu Qingshuang leaned on Nangong Pu's back and whispered, "No matter, I'll go and block the tunnel entrance." ā
"Wait." According to Nangong Pu's meaning, he wants the Qingfeng Hall and even the servants of the West Chamber to enter the tunnel. Many of the family members and subordinates in those mansions have been in Nangong Mansion for several generations. These people, who have known Nangong Pu since he can remember, give up on them? Can't do it!
"Xiaowan and aunt, they are all inside." Fu Qingshuang emphasized that what he was afraid of was that the smoke entered the tunnel, and the situation of the people inside would not be good.
Yes, there are also Cheng Jun and Cheng Rui, Nangong Pu added a sentence in his heart. glanced at the black smoke rising, and the east compartment was basically closed except for the door and the gap on the top. So, he dealt with Qingshuang ruthlessly: "Wait a little longer." Let's see if we can get the people from the West Chambers to rush over and enter the tunnel. ā
Fu Qingshuang understood Nangong Pu's thoughts, and sighed secretly in his heart. According to his own thoughts, he should block the tunnel entrance at this time, and then go outside the city to see if he can bring everyone out from the other end. If this is the case, the people of the West Chamber will surely die. Now Nangong Pu's insistence is not wise. However, many years ago, they used to advance and retreat together, and as long as one decided something, the other must support it unconditionally. Fu Qingshuang laughed, it feels so good like this, it's just this kind of thing...... It's terrible.
I don't know how long it took, Nangong Pu and Fu Qing supported each other back to back, and there were several wounds on both of them, and the blood flowed, and the more than ten people hiding in the West Chamber never found a chance.
