When Lao Xing, the refugee representative, learned of Zhu Qing's situation, he hurriedly ran back to Xicheng to tell the others.

At this time, the brocade guards, laborers, and refugees in Xicheng also knew about it. Everyone shouted to go to the Chen Mansion to ask for someone, but they were persuaded by Lao Xing.

"Everyone, don't go and make trouble, Xu Dingyuan is angry, the more trouble we make, the more unfavorable it will be to General Qinglong." Lao Xing persuaded.

"You said that the young man who killed the rebels during the day and saved us was actually General Qinglong?" The refugee elder asked, he was the uncle who was saved by Zhu Qing from the rebels during the day.

"Exactly."

"No wonder, I don't think that young man looks like an ordinary person, it turned out to be a general's demeanor, it's just that I was dizzy and didn't confirm it." The old man regretted it a little, if he could confirm that it was Zhu Qing during the day, he would definitely take care of it. However, it was too late to say anything now, Zhu Qing fell into the hands of the rebels, and it was not something he could save him, so he could only pray silently in his heart.

"Brother, you are here to watch the villagers, you must not let everyone go to the Chen Mansion to make trouble, otherwise, the general will be even more dangerous. I'm out of town! Lao Xing saw that the old man was very sincere, and he was also quite prestigious among the refugees, so he entrusted him with something.

The old man hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, the villagers still buy this thin noodle." You can go with confidence......"

Lao Xing nodded, left the refugee station, and walked out of the West City Gate.

The city gate, which was heavily guarded a few days ago, has been controlled by Jinyiwei and the people of the county government after an instantaneous change in the situation, so Lao Xing can almost brush his face when he enters and exits, after all, he has been in contact with Zhu Qing a few times, Jinyiwei knows him, and he is the leader of the refugee gang, so this convenience will naturally be given.

Lao Xing walked out of the West City Gate and rushed straight to the refugee settlement on the outskirts of the city.

Although Zigong has opened its gates to receive refugees, there are still many refugees in ten miles and eight townships who come to beg for survival. In addition to the fact that the imperial court does have an unshirkable responsibility, the rebellion of the rebels is also one of the major factors.

Before Wu Sangui entered the southwest, he walked all the way to grab all the way, and grabbed from Huguang to Yunnan. Under the authority of Wu Sangui, the local corrupt officials became more and more rampant, and after the rebels robbed one round, the local officials looted another round. This led to the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was already full of natural and man-made disasters, to make it even more difficult, and the people were struggling to make a living. There are more and more refugees......

Lao Xing shuttled through the refugee camp and came to the foot of the West Mountain, where the Jinyi Guards had been stationed before, and after the Jinyi Guards entered the city, the tents and some leftover pots and stoves and salt grains were also left for the refugees, so the foot of the West Mountain is now also full of refugees. Lao Xing shuttled through the tents for a while before finding Xiaoqi and Liujin's residence. Of course, it is also Chen Yuanyuan's residence.

Before Zhu Qing entered the city, he told Xiaoqi to help take care of Chen Yuanyuan, so that they could live together, so that they could take care of it, after all, Zhu Qing entered the city to save Xiaoqi's husband, Chen Jiujin, the father of six catties, so he should not have to worry about being bullied if he entrusted Chen Yuanyuan to Xiaoqi.

But when Lao Xing arrived at their tent, he only saw Xiaoqi and Liujin inside, but did not see Chen Yuanyuan.

"Brother Xing?" When Xiao Qi saw Lao Xing coming in, she asked in surprise.

"Uncle Xing, how is it in the city? Did Jinyiwei win the battle? Is my dad coming to pick us up? Xiao Liujin also asked innocently.

Lao Xing didn't know how to coax six catties, so he asked Xiaoqi, "What about Miss Chen?" ”

"I was still here just now, so I guess I went to the stream to wash clothes." Xiaoqi glanced at Chen Yuanyuan's couch, but did not find it dirty, presumably cleaned up.

Lao Xing nodded with a sigh of relief, and said to Xiao Qi, "Jinyiwei has won the battle, can you imagine that those people we saw before can defeat the tens of thousands of rebels in the city?" It's incredible! ……”

Seeing Lao Xing talking wildly, Xiaoqi and Liujin were full of anticipation.

"But......" Lao Xing suddenly sighed lightly, "The rebel general Xu Dingyuan is not dead yet, and he has captured General Qinglong!" ”

"What?" Xiaoqi and Liujin's mother and son were shocked almost at the same time.

"It is said that General Qinglong went alone to save hundreds of people in the Chen Mansion, and was finally outnumbered before being caught by Xu Dingyuan. Ay...... It's a pity! Lao Xing explained, and couldn't help but sigh again.

After a period of silence, Xiao Qi hesitated to ask, "What about ...... What about the people of the Chen Mansion? Although they regret what happened to Zhu Qing, they are also concerned about the safety of the Chen Mansion, after all, in addition to blood marriage, it is also related to the livelihood of their mother and daughter in the future......

Lao Xing came back to his senses and responded, "The people in the Chen Mansion should be fine." It is said that before the general was arrested, he imprisoned the entire Chen Mansion in the secret passage, and presumably the people of the Chen Mansion should be able to spend this time in the secret passage...... It's just that General Qinglong suffered, not only was he injured by swords and arrows, but now he was also hung in the gate of the Chen Mansion, shocking the Jinyi Guard......"

"Mother, Brother Zhu Qing helped us and saved Dad, we should help Brother Zhu Qing......" Xiao Liujin was already leaning on Xiao Qi's arms and sobbing after hearing this.

Xiaoqi didn't know how to respond to her daughter, so she could only hug her tightly and nod while crying.

At this moment, the sound of a wooden disc falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the curtain.

"Who?!" Lao Xing asked vigilantly.

Xiao Qi felt faster, so she asked, "Miss Chen?" ”

After a moment of silence, the curtain was lifted, and Chen Yuanyuan walked in without a master, and she was already the same as when she went to wash her clothes before.

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's appearance, Lao Xing glanced at Xiao Qi worriedly. He pretended to smile and said, "Miss Chen, you ...... Are you alright? Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan didn't answer, Lao Xing continued, "What's that...... Jinyiwei has won the battle, and General Qinglong asked me to come back to report to you first, and when he finishes the mess, he will personally go out of the city to pick you up into the city...... I ......"

"Brother Xing, you don't have to comfort me, I heard your conversation just now. Qinglong was caught, right? Chen Yuanyuan asked suddenly, tears already welling up in his eyes.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Lao Xing couldn't hide it anymore, so he nodded helplessly.

"And being hung in the sun by the rebels?" Chen Yuanyuan then asked.

Lao Xing endured his grief and nodded fiercely.

"Ah......" Chen Yuanyuan finally broke down and suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and Lao Xing also persuaded from the side, "However, Jinyiwei has already found a way to rescue the general, Miss Chen went to take care of her body, don't be too sad......"

Chen Yuanyuan gradually calmed down under the persuasion of Lao Xing and the comfort of Xiaoqi's mother and daughter. However, before Lao Xing and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly broke free from Xiao Qi's arms and threw himself on his couch!

"Miss Chen!?"

"Sister?!"

The people in the tent suddenly exclaimed. Chen Yuanyuan has already taken out a pair of scissors from the bedside!

"I'm going to save him!" Chen Yuanyuan held the scissors tightly and said angrily, and was about to snatch the door.

"Miss Chen! Calm down! Lao Xing and Xiao Qi grabbed Chen Yuanyuan at the same time.

"Not only will you not be able to save the general, but you will harm the general, and even ride yourself in!" Xiaoqi grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder and shook it suddenly, she hoped that this would make Chen Yuanyuan sober.

After Chen Yuanyuan calmed down a little, Xiao Qi stared at Chen Yuanyuan's eyes seriously, "You know, that Xu Dingyuan is not only brutal, but also lustful!" A few years ago, he attended a banquet for my father, and he almost ...... me" Xiaoqi sobbed, thinking that six catties was by his side, so he suddenly stopped.

Lao Xing held Liujin in his arms, worried that the child would be stimulated by adults.

"So, Lao Xing doesn't want you to know about this because I'm worried that you won't be able to think about it and fall into the trap of that traitor!" Xiao Qi said to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the tears in Xiaoqi's eyes, and knew that what Xiaoqi said was true. I gradually calmed down. Lao Xing took the opportunity to snatch the scissors from her hand.

"Xiaoqi, Brother Xing, I'm sorry, Yuanyuan is not sensible, so I worried you." Chen Yuanyuan apologized to Xiao Qi and Lao Xing.

"Sister, don't worry, Brother Zhu Qing will be rewarded for being a good person!" Liujin on the side looked at Chen Yuanyuan innocently and handed her a handkerchief.

"Hmm......" Chen Yuanyuan took the handkerchief, touched the head of the six catties again, and nodded with a wry smile.

"Okay, you can rest in the tent for the time being, and I'll go into the city to investigate, and bring you some food by the way." Lao Xing saw that Chen Yuanyuan's mood was also stable, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Xiao Qi nodded, "Brother Xing, you should be careful yourself." ”

"I know, you have to be optimistic about Miss Chen, and you can't let her do stupid things anymore." Lao Xing didn't forget to tell Xiaoqi before leaving. It wasn't until Xiaoqi and Chen Yuanyuan nodded that he left with confidence.

After Lao Xing left, Xiao Qi looked at Chen Yuanyuan, whose face became a little haggard, shook his head and sighed, "You lie down for a while, I'll help you dry your clothes." Xiao Qi said and turned to go out.

"Mother, I'll help you." Xiao Liujin followed.

"Six catties are good, my mother can be alone, you stay with my sister ......" Xiao Qi told Liu Jin, Xiao Qi still knows how to be cautious.

After Xiaoqi went out to dry clothes, she stayed with Chen Yuanyuan by six catties.

Chen Yuanyuan was on the couch, unbearable, tossing and turning, and his mind was full of pictures of Zhu Qing being hung at the door of the mansion and suffering......

In the evening, Lao Xing came back from the city again, and brought some food to Xiaoqi's mother and daughter and Chen Yuanyuan, it is estimated that because of the war in the city, Lao Xing got the steamed buns and some of the recipes are fresh, but Chen Yuanyuan doesn't seem to have much appetite, just pinched a small piece of steamed buns and went back to the couch.

Xiaoqi and the others knew that Chen Yuanyuan would not be able to pass this hurdle for a while, so they didn't bother much.

When it was time to go to bed, Xiaoqi let Liujin sleep next to Chen Yuanyuan, for fear that she would sneak out in the middle of the night. And Xiaoqi temporarily moved the blankets and bedding to the door to sleep, also to watch Chen Yuanyuan.

However, after all the precautions, there was finally a mistake.

Presumably it was the food that was eaten in the evening, Xiaoqi went to the toilet in the field in the middle of the night, leaving Chen Yuanyuan and Liujin to fall asleep in the tent, but Chen Yuanyuan did not fall asleep, and Xiao Liujin just slept soundly. So, Chen Yuanyuan gently lifted the futon......

When Xiaoqi came back, she found that Chen Yuanyuan was gone?!

"Brother Xing! Oh no, Miss Chen is gone! Xiao Qi hurried to find Lao Xing.

Lao Xing was startled and went to the tent to see that Chen Yuanyuan was really gone, only Xiao Liujin sat on the couch and rubbed his eyes and cried, as if he had admitted his mistake for his negligence......

"The scissors are still there!" Xiao Qi rummaged through it and said, "But, the comb is missing!" Xiao Qi glanced at Lao Xing in surprise.

"Oh no, Miss Chen is going to the city to find Xu Dingyuan!" Lao Xing reacted quickly and hurriedly chased out the door......
