After listening to Zhang Sicheng's narration, Fan Qing frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Sicheng with a strange look, and looked at Zhang Sicheng a little creepy, after a while, Fan Qing said: "Sometimes, you have to be shrewd, don't always think that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, even if it is a big tree, it is not something that anyone can rely on if they want to, not to mention, it is not a big tree, and the person who is leaning on it may be thrown out at any time."

Zhang Sicheng was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to explain his behavior, Fan Qing saw him like this, and he didn't want to continue to entangle: "Okay, don't talk about this, you go to the treasury first to transfer a batch of ordnance materials needed here, at least arm these people first, and I'll go to Zheng Mansion to find Zheng Guang." ”

After Fan Qing left, Zhang Sichang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that what he was facing was much more terrifying than that of the Japanese Kou.

Fan Qing left the city wall and went directly to the Zheng Mansion, and at this moment, the Zheng Mansion was also uneasy because of the news that the old housekeeper went out to investigate, just now, the Mansion Fan Qing issued a curfew, on the grounds that the Japanese invaders, only more than ten miles away from Suzhou City, from now on, until the Japanese invaders left, they all belong to the curfew period, and the whole city is on alert, all normal activities are stopped, all residents must stay at home, unless the government has an order, they are not allowed to go out.

As soon as this order was given, the whole city was in chaos, everyone frantically snapped up all kinds of supplies, and then frantically fled home, hiding in their homes, many profiteers also made a lot of money, but at this moment, no matter how much they earned, they couldn't offset the fear brought by the would-be robbers, everyone hurriedly closed the night market, and under the urging of the guards, they quickly went home.

After a lapse of seven years, the people of Suzhou once again remembered the fear of being once dominated by the Japanese invaders.

At the same time, Zheng Guang quickly issued several instructions, including checking the grain stocks and water stocks in the house, etc., to determine how many days it can support, and then check whether the roads in the house are in good condition, and immediately start to transfer the important things in the house to the tunnels, and there must be no mistakes.

Zheng Guang's existence quickly stabilized the atmosphere of Zheng Mansion, and at the same time, Zheng Guang also secretly said lucky, because of the incident seven years ago, the Zheng family began to dig and build a safe tunnel within the Zheng Mansion in order to learn a lesson.

At the same time, the storage of grain and water in the house has also been calculated, about enough for the twenty people in the house to eat for about seventeen or eighteen days, there is a well in the house, and he is not worried about the lack of water, Zheng Guang nodded, and also instructed his family to transfer some shelf-stable grain to the ground, and use a large vat to transfer some water to the ground, etc., he is very optimistic that the Suzhou army can hold Suzhou, after all, it is not a secret that the combat effectiveness of the Weisho army is weak in the entire southeast, and it is very likely that Suzhou will be breached.

Now the whole city is on alert, the four gates are closed, and you can't get out, and then go out when the city is broken, which is obviously an act of looking for death, so it is the most correct way to transfer to the underground and block the tunnel, in addition, considering the activity of the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty's attention to Suzhou, it is impossible for the Japanese to occupy Suzhou for a long time, and it is estimated that they will soon take the initiative to retreat or be recaptured by the elite army in Suzhou, as long as they hide in the tunnel, even if the Japanese break the city, they will not be harmed.

It's just a pity that the tenants outside the city are afraid that there will be less luck......

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Guang began to consider other possibilities, began to stipulate the ration of food for each person, minimized the amount of food consumed by each person, ensured that the food would exert the maximum effect during the shelf life, and lasted for the longest time, all the physical consumption behaviors in the house began to stop now, and after the end of the carrying work, everyone took a bath, and then packed up and transferred to the underground to wait, and then without Zheng Guang's permission, he was not allowed to leave the tunnel without authorization, and even Zheng Yong was required to enter the tunnel to protect his family and sisters.

Zheng Guang will also enter the tunnel, but will return to the ground from time to time to inquire about the news, to ensure everyone's safety, if the Suzhou army suddenly breaks out or the reinforcements arrive quickly, Suzhou does not need to be broken through, it is definitely good news, and, if there is really a need, Zheng Guang will not care about anything else, he will definitely climb the city wall to help defend the city.

It's just that Zheng Guang didn't expect Fan Qinghui to come suddenly and disrupt his overall plan.

"Little friend, this time, Suzhou needs you." As soon as Fan Qing came, the first sentence made Zheng Guang stunned, and Zheng Fu was stunned, and then Fan Qing's words made everyone shift their attention: "There is no general in Suzhou, Futai has not come back in Nanjing, I and the other two county commanders are not familiar with military affairs, the whole Suzhou, we think about it, you are the only one, under Tang Jingchuan, you must have also learned his attainments in the art of war, you are Suzhou's last hope, at least before the reinforcements arrive, you are the last hope." ”

Zheng Guang didn't expect Fan Qing to find him and ask him to assist in the defense of Suzhou, but the old lady stepped forward in disbelief, grabbed Fan Qing's hand, and pleaded in a tone that was about to collapse: "Fu Zun, Fu Zun, just beg you as an old body, beg you as an old body!" There are only two men in the Zheng family, and Guang'er's father is the only son of him, if something happens to him, what will the old body look like to meet his parents and his grandfather! He is still a showman, and he has a reputation for himself! It's about to be lifted! How can he, how can he go to the battlefield to deal with the Japanese Bandits! ”

Zhao Die'er pounced out all of a sudden, pounced on Zheng Guang, and hugged Zheng Guang desperately: "Zheng Lang!" No! No! Don't go out! ”

The old lady's sudden plea, Zheng Guang's fiancée's cry, made Fan Qing helpless, the old lady's words are not wrong at all, Zheng Guang is not a showman, he is famous, he has no mistakes, he can't be conscripted into the army to serve no matter what, let alone the current situation, going out to defend Suzhou is tantamount to playing with his life, the Zheng family has only Zheng Guang as an heir, all the hopes of the Zheng family are in Zheng Guang, if Zheng Guang is unwilling, the old lady is unwilling, Fan Qing can't force it anyway.

Fan Qing had no choice but to turn his eyes to Zheng Guang for help, the old lady kept crying, he couldn't say anything, otherwise, it was too unreasonable and would be criticized, and Zheng Guang was obviously shocked by this request, Zhao Die'er in his arms was still crying, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.

Then a room of women also cried, Zheng Du took the lead, Zheng Guang's aunts and sisters knelt down for Fan Qing together, crying non-stop, begging Fan Qing not to pull Zheng's last hope out to die, looking at a room of women, Fan Qing's heart softened, and he was almost about to give up, and at this time, a voice sounded: "Fuzun!" I'll go! ”

The crying stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound, Zheng Yong, who had been standing at the back and was silent.

"Brother, you have taught me so many things in the art of war these days, and you have trained me for so long, it's time for me to go out and exercise, anyway, I can also do martial arts, there should be no one in the whole Suzhou who can fight better than me, so, let me go, it's the best choice!" Zheng Yong slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Zheng Guang.

"Nope! Yong'er! No! Zheng Dushi left behind his previous weakness and unassertiveness, and suddenly pounced on him and hugged Zheng Yong tightly: "You are also your father's only son, and you are also the only one, you can't go!" Can't go! ”

Zheng Yong smiled and hugged his mother tightly: "Mother, for our Zheng family, the elder brother is the most important, as long as the elder brother is still there, the Zheng family can prosper, and you and your sister can live a good life, if the elder brother is gone, what is my use?" I can't test my fame, I can't be an official to protect the Zheng family, so, only I go, is the best choice, besides, when our mother was bullied, it was my brother and grandmother who protected us, when I beat the old man, I was scolded to death, it was my brother who knelt in the heavy rain for a day and a night, let me live until now, mother, you often educate me, to know the grace of the report, now, isn't it the time to know the grace of the picture? Prefectural Honor! I'll go! ”

"Nope! No! No! Don't go! Don't go to ......" Zheng Dushi hugged Zheng Yong to the death, and didn't let go no matter what, for fear that if he let go, he would lose this son, and the rest of the people, no matter what, couldn't say anything about letting Zheng Yong go, leaving Zheng Guang behind, everyone has been dependent on each other for so many years, everyone has extremely deep feelings, losing any of them is a heart-rending pain, giving up Zheng Yong for Zheng Guang, how can this kind of thing be done?

Seeing this, Fan Qing really couldn't continue to ask, sighed, and said, "That's it, that's it, I shouldn't have done this, today's incident, just don't it happen!" ”

After speaking, Fan Qing turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, he felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Zheng Guang who pulled his sleeve: "Fuzun, I'll go." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, and the old lady reacted quickly, grabbed Zheng Guang's hand, and dragged him into the house: "Guang'er! Don't say anything stupid! Grandma doesn't allow you to say stupid things! Come back! Come back! ”

Zhao Die'er hugged Zheng Guang tightly and dragged him into the house: "Zheng Lang! You don't go! You don't go! ”

Zheng Yong even stretched out his hand to stop: "Brother! I'll go! Let me go! Fuzun, I'm very good at martial arts, let me go! Let the brother stay! ”

Zheng Dushi cried again: "No! No! No! ”

For a while, the cry in Zheng's mansion shook the sky......

On the city wall, Wang Wei was arranging for the maintenance of the perennial but basically unused city guarding equipment on the city wall, and sighed while checking it: ", how can these widows pick soft persimmons and pinch them, they are all rotten like this, how can they be used!" ”

Zhao Song echoed: "No, why did you come from the west?" Even seven years ago, it came from the east, what is the use of this kind of equipment? Besides, those uncles, they are shaking with a kitchen knife to kill chickens, not to mention fighting with the Japanese invaders, how to defend this city! ”

Wang Wei shook his head and looked at the west, but as if he had suddenly discovered something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said: "Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, take a look, take a look, then, those fires, yes, are they from torches?" ”

When Zhao Song heard this, he looked at the west casually and said, "What torch?" Where is the fire...... This...... Oh my God......"

Zhao Song showed a terrified expression.
