In the east wing, the second master Jiang was dressed under the service of the concubine Meiling, and he only had a good time with this most beloved woman last night, and slept soundly, but he was awakened by the noise outside, and said in his heart What is the matter, is there something that can't be done.

Jiang Zhiqing had just put on his robe and sat on the round stool waiting for Meiling to put on the square hat for him, when he heard the sound of the housekeeper knocking on the door outside the room, and only heard her anxiously shouting, "Second master, second master, get up and ...... quickly."

Listening to the mother-in-law of the third housekeeper calling the door, Second Master Jiang was a little displeased, and said loudly, "Come in and tell me what's going on?" ”

The lady in charge hurriedly pushed the door in, and didn't even bother to cover the door, so she rushed to the second master Jiang in a panic, and bent her knees, "Second ...... Old...... Master, it's not good. He stammered for a while before he called out, "Zhuangzi was demonized...... Youkai give ...... It's broken! ”

"What?!" Second Master Jiang was taken aback, and suddenly jumped up, knocking Meiling who was about to tidy up his clothes to the ground, and with a "bang", Meiling looked puzzled and afraid, but she didn't dare to say more, but hurriedly picked up the square hat that fell to the ground. If Jiang Zhiqing had been distressed before, but now he couldn't take care of it, his face was gloomy, and he asked solemnly, "What did you say?" …… Broken? ”

"The little one doesn't know what to say, but just now the two dogs said that the village gate has been broken, and there is a tiger demon in the village gate. The Tiger Demon ......"

"Tiger Demon?!" Second Master Jiang was a little stunned at first, but then he thought of the "golden eagle" he saw in the sky this afternoon, and his heart couldn't help but sink, what is the origin of this monster? Could it be that when this monster comes, the foundation that the Jiang family has worked hard for decades has become an ornament? He really didn't remember what was going on.

Seeing that Second Master Jiang didn't say a word, the housekeeper's wife looked sluggish, so she hurriedly urged, "Second Master, how is this good?" ”

Second Master Jiang froze, "You take me to see them." ”

Putting aside the concubine, the second master Jiang didn't care about wearing clothes and hats, slippers, and hats, so he hurriedly walked out of the door.

Hearing the attack of the tiger demon, the situation was very critical, Meiling, who had originally packed her clothes and hats, couldn't help but feel weak under her feet, and sat on the ground in a daze.

The girl outside heard the sound and hurriedly came in to help Meiling up. "Xiaohong, hurry up and get me that jewelry box! Forget it, you find me a cloth towel, go quickly! Mei Ling just stood up and didn't care about the folds of her clothes, and commanded.

Although Meiling didn't know what the tiger demon was, she still knew the meaning of Pozhuang, and it was always good to make some preparations early, and after a short period of distraction, she hurriedly twisted to the front of the dressing table, and swept the hairpin hairpin that was casually placed on the table into the jewelry box.

The second master Jiang who had already gone out didn't know that his concubine was already ready to break the house and escape, and on the way to the front yard, he was still a little skeptical, and he still wondered if the second dog had passed the wrong word, and when he passed through the corridor and entered the courtyard gate, and saw the mournful family members, he confirmed that what the second dog said was true, but his heart was cold.

Everyone in the courtyard was panicking, screaming and moaning one after another, at this time, when they saw the second master coming, they seemed to have the backbone, and the noisy scene suddenly became much quieter, and a group of housekeepers came forward.

"Sir! Monsters from outside have come in! "Master, what can I do about this?" "Old man......"

As soon as you say a word, the scene is showing signs of getting out of control again, Jiang Zhiqing's brows are twisted, and he shouts and scolds: "What are you panicking about!" What a youkai! Sling the bull! After speaking, he kicked out, kicked away the family member who was complaining with his arm hanging in front of him, and asked the steward about the cause and effect.

The steward replied one by one, and the other stewards next to him added from time to time, Jiang Zhiqing finally understood what was happening, and when the stewards said that their group of people had broken the door before coming in, Master Jiang noticed that the door of the original two courtyards was open, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder, "You idiots, didn't you know how to block it with a door panel just now!?" "It turns out that the gate in the small courtyard behind it is not the gate of Zhuangzi after all, and it is not made of solid wood, which can be said to be an anti-gentleman and not a villain. The sturdy village gate in front of it was easily broken, and now the door of Zhuangzi was opened, and the rest of the courtyard was like a beauty who had been stripped of her clothes, which could be described as defenseless, which made these families panic, and they rushed into the back door to hide in the courtyard to save their lives regardless of scolding.

Everyone calmed down under Jiang Zhiqing's appeasement, and dispersed according to the instructions, preparing to raise another courtyard gate, so that when the tiger demon attacked again, they could rely on it. The servants in the house were terrified when they saw the reflection of the machete, and some of the timid were so frightened that they screamed. The steward counted the number of people on the side and arranged for the nursing home, but found that among the more than 30 families who ran back, more than a dozen people ran so much that they even lost their weapons, but fortunately they were all weapons such as sticks and spears, and there was still a little stock in the courtyard.

Looking at the subordinates who were assigned, the ones who demolished the doors, and the ones who moved the sundries, Jiang Zhiqing found that the lady in charge was still staying by his side, so he opened his mouth and ordered, "You go to the uncle's side and ask the uncle to get ready." As for what to prepare, he didn't say, and the lady in charge didn't dare to ask in detail, so she left quickly.

"Master, but the thieves broke Zhuangzi?" There was a question in his ears, and Jiang Zhiqing, who was busy directing his subordinates to be busy, turned his head to see that the person who came was his beloved wife Jiang Mao.

"Hmm." Jiang Zhiqing nodded heavily, and immediately whispered to her, "Jing'er is awake?" Take him to the eldest brother's yard to take refuge. ”

"Master, then I'll take Jing'er with me." After speaking, Jiang Maoshi took a deep look at her master, and then turned around and left, wiping his tears with a silk handkerchief from time to time, the bitterness in his heart was indescribable, even the front village with a high wall and thick gate was broken, and I don't know if this courtyard can be kept.

Jiang Zhiqing saw that Jiang Mao's family had gone far, so he turned his head and scolded angrily to the servants who were standing on the side, "You fools, don't go and call the people in the courtyard to get up." ”

After scolding a few words in a low voice, Second Master Jiang ordered a few more people to light a fire and boil water for the next battle. The servants brought a few long tables and square tables, and put them at the foot of the courtyard wall, and four temporary stoves were lined up in the courtyard, and a few large cauldrons taken out of the kitchen were placed on the stoves, and the cauldrons were not yet filled with water, so some of the servants squatted under to make a fire, and the wooden basins and barrels were thrown all over the ground, and another group of servants were flowing endlessly, carrying water back and forth.

Jiang Zhiqing arranged for those family members to stand on the long table, and planned to wait for the monster to come, and shoot a few arrows at it through the courtyard gate. There are even a few of the families who are a little idle and are afraid that ordinary arrows will not have much effect, so they spontaneously use vegetable oil and cotton cloth to make rockets, saying that monsters and beasts are afraid of fire, and rockets may be able to play some role, these families have this calculation in their hearts.

The efficiency of the servants of the family was surprisingly high, and it took a short time to build a temporary courtyard gate behind the second courtyard, saying that it was the courtyard gate, but in fact, it was nailed up with several door panels, and heavy objects such as stone mortars were found to be dead behind the door. Looking at the courtyard gate that was built in a hurry, Jiang Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief, although it happened suddenly, but the arrangement was carried out according to his own plan after all, so that at least it could block some time, and it might be good to wait until dawn.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiqing's expression was a little trance-like, looking at these busy family servants, to be honest, he didn't have a spectrum in his heart about whether he could resist the attack of the "tiger demon". The holy master is to talk about the strange power of the gods, and to stay away from the ghosts and gods, and the gentleman should be on the right path in his heart. If you don't worship ghosts and gods with righteous thoughts, then you have to be controlled by ghosts and gods.

Shaking his head and trying to get these distracting thoughts out of his head, he heard a bowstring on the wall, and then there was a scream not far away, Jiang Zhiqing was overjoyed, could it be that the monster was shot and injured? But then the cry shattered his illusions, "Brothers, don't let go of the arrows, it's me!" ”

Soon the people on the wall heard the voice, "No! It seems to be the voice of the chief steward! When everyone heard this, they quickly loosened their bowstrings, put their hands on the pergola and looked into the distance.

I saw a few people running over with an injured number, a fat man followed breathlessly, and everyone on the wall looked at it and saw that it was Jiang Cheng, the chief steward, and the one who was carried by several people was the second steward Jiang Enbo, who had an arrow stuck in his body, and was carried by several people and ran on the road so bumpy, his face was pale, and he almost only had air in and out of breath.

The chief steward Jiang Cheng ran to the wall and scolded, "You rabbit cubs, this is against God." ”

But I could hear the voice of the second master coming from inside the wall, "Ah Cheng, I told them to just shoot and not blame them." ”

Hearing the second master's words, Jiang Cheng was speechless for a while, and he hesitated for a while before replying, "Second master, you have to let them pull a few of us in!" "The gate of the courtyard is blocked, and these people can't get in, and there are chasing soldiers burning their butts behind.

After getting Jiang Zhiqing's permission, the people on the wall tried their best to finally pull the six people in, but they were tired and half dead, you must know that although the courtyard wall is not as high as the wall of the outer courtyard, it is at least seven feet high, and many family members can only show their heads even when they stand on the long table.

The second steward Jiang who was pulled in finally swallowed the last breath of the last breath in the wall, and the chief steward Jiang cried to the second master Jiang with a sad face, only to see that the clothes on his body had become strips of rags, and his round belly was also pulled out by the earthen wall with a few blood stains.
