Zhong Gang and his party of four walked out with complicated feelings, and met the housekeeper Zhong Heyu who came in a hurry on the way.

Before he could speak, Zhong Gang beckoned, "Uncle Yu, come over and see Qinghan's husband." ”

Zhong Heyu was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Old slave Zhong Heyu, I've seen my uncle." ”

Su Ziheng hurriedly helped him up, and said in a loud voice: "The old housekeeper doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhong Heyu smiled on his face, and bowed lightly to Zhong and smiled: "The old slave hasn't congratulated Miss yet, it's the old slave who is rude." ”

Zhong Qinghan smiled reluctantly, "Where is Grandpa Heyu, it is Qinghan who failed to inform you in time, and he will definitely make up for it in the future." ”

Zhong Gang coughed lightly: "Uncle Yu, I see that you are in a hurry, but what's the urgency?" ”

Zhong Heyu hurriedly said: "Master, there is a spy from the Black Crow Army who has come to report, saying that the Meng Yuan Army has broken through the West City Gate, and has come to invite the young lady to preside over the overall situation." ”

Zhong Gang said: "This father already knows about this matter, and he will personally preside over the overall situation, so there is no need for Qinghan to come forward." You came just in time, and ordered to go down, so that everyone in the Zhongfu Mansion began to pack up and go out of the city with the young lady later. ”

Zhong Heyu was stunned and said, "Master, what happened, why do you want me to evacuate Xining City?" ”

Zhong Gang said coldly: "Don't care so much, just do what you do on behalf of this bus." From now on, everything is at the behest of the young lady and the uncle, and no matter what you want you to do, you must not disobey it. Those who dare and do not obey orders will be expelled from Zhongfu; Those who commit the following offenses will be killed! ”

Zhong Heyu hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhong Gang, then at Zhong Qinghan and Su Ziheng, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Everything is up to the master's orders." ”

Zhong Gang snorted coldly, and said Sen Ran: "Uncle Yu, could it be that you didn't hear my father's words clearly just now?" From now on, everything is based on what Miss says, and even my father's words cannot be above Miss's words. ”

To put it bluntly, Zhong Gang gave all the people of the entire Zhong Mansion to Zhong Qinghan.

Zhong Heyu knelt on the ground when he heard this, kowtowed, and said: "The old slave knows his mistake, and he will definitely not dare to do it again next time." ”

Zhong Gang said coldly: "Get up!" In the future, I will follow Miss and serve Miss and Uncle for a good life. ”

Zhong Heyu nodded and said, "The old slave obeys!" ”

At this time, he heard a weak mosquito in his ears, but he said murderously: "Keep an eye on my uncle, if the young lady dies of illness, my father wants him to bury the young lady!" ”

Zhong Gang turned his head, looked deeply at Zhong Qinghan beside him, and said softly: "Qinghan, and your husband Jun quickly go to gather the Black Crow Army, and while the south gate has not fallen into the hands of the Meng Yuan Army, quickly retreat to Yuzhou." When Ben Fair settles on Liangzhou, you will come back. ”

After a pause, he continued: "What if...... If Liangzhou falls, you will go straight to Donghai County, and you must not return to Xining. You must know that you have the lives of hundreds of people in Zhongfu on your shoulders, and you must not act rashly. ”

Su Ziheng glanced at Zhong Gang in surprise, he didn't expect that he knew that Zhong Qinghan was not his biological daughter, but he was still so good to her, and even entrusted the entire Zhong Mansion to her, it seemed that he really loved his daughter.

Zhong Qinghan looked at his parents with tears in her eyes, and wanted to say what she wanted to stay with them, but when she thought of her father's entrustment to her, she shouldered the lives of hundreds of Zhongfu people, and she swallowed the words on her lips again.

I had to choke up and nodded, knelt down and kowtowed a few times to my parents, and said, "Please take care of your two parents, forgive your daughter for being unfilial and not being able to accompany you." ”

Seeing this, Su Ziheng had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow together, which could be regarded as saying goodbye to his cheap father-in-law and mother-in-law.

……

……

After coming out of Zhongfu, Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan soldiers split into two ways. Zhong Qinghan went to gather the Black Crow Army and prepare to break through; Su Ziheng returned to Zhao Mansion and prepared to take the villagers of Sujiazhuang and Dalei Village away.

Back at the Zhao Mansion, Su Ziheng immediately instructed the housekeeper Qian Lu to start beckoning everyone and preparing to pack up and leave. Since entering Xining City, Su Ziheng has asked everyone to pay attention to vigilance, and once something happens, they must be able to leave at any time with their burdens.

After all, it's war time, and no one knows what the final outcome will be, so you can't wait until it's time to rush to pack your things, then it's too late.

Thanks to the fact that everyone had a fugitive experience, they had a lot of experience, and in only a quarter of an hour, they took all their belongings, set up the carriage, and went in the direction of Zhong's house under the escort of the courtyard and the family.

Zhongfu is close to the south gate of Xining, and the population is large, so it takes a lot of effort to pack up things, so Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan agreed to meet in Zhongfu.

When passing by the Manufacturing Bureau, Su Ziheng suddenly thought that there were still many craftsmen inside, and he thought that the situation was uncertain now, so it was better to simply abduct them all, otherwise it would not be of much use to stay in Xining City.

If Xining City is really occupied by the Meng Yuan army, these craftsmen may still be killed, which would be a pity.

Su Ziheng said to Zhao Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, I don't know if you are familiar with the road of Zhongfu? I'd like to ask you to bring the guys over first, and I'll do something, and I'll be here later. ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "Master Su, now the people in the city are panicking, and the streets outside are also very chaotic, and many ruffians take the opportunity to make trouble, where are you going?" ”

Su Ziheng explained a few words to her simply and quickly, and then comforted: "Miss Wan'er, don't worry, I will bring Shi Meng with me, and a few ruffians can't hurt us." ”

Zhao Wan'er has known Su Ziheng for a long time, and knows that he is very important to craftsmen, and it is true that he has invented a lot of new things through those craftsmen, so she nodded and advised: "Then you should be more careful, if you can't do it, don't force it, take care of yourself The most important thing is to take care of yourself." ”

Su Ziheng smiled: "I will, you guys hurry up, maybe we will catch up in a while." ”

Entering the Manufacturing Bureau, the general office in charge of the Manufacturing Bureau heard that Meng Yuanjun had entered the city, and he was so frightened that he didn't know where to run. For this kind of official who doesn't understand a little technology and is completely arranged by the government, Su Ziheng doesn't care at all, it's better if he is not there, and no one will stop him from abducting those craftsmen.

Su Ziheng first found Zhong Xinde, the new steward of the firearms workshop, and told him the news that the Zhong Mansion was going to evacuate, and asked him to find a way to persuade some craftsmen to go together.

Zhong Xinde heard that his father Zhong and Yu and the entire Zhong Mansion were going to evacuate, so he agreed to Su Ziheng's request without saying a word. For him, he is first and foremost a member of the Zhongfu and a member of the Manufacturing Bureau second.

Hearing that Zhong Qinghan, the commander of the Black Crow Army, arranged for people to cover his evacuation, most of the craftsmen in the Manufacturing Bureau were busy packing up their things and leaving with Su Ziheng.

However, there were a few people who did not listen to the persuasion, saying that they would not leave the manufacturing bureau without the order of the general office, and they believed that the defenders of Xining would definitely be able to drive the Meng Yuan army out of Xining City.

For such stubborn people, Su Ziheng did not persuade much, nor did he plan to use strong means to kidnap them, he was worried that it would attract the disgust of other craftsmen, so he let them live and die at their own risk.
