Although it was the middle of the night, the entire Xie Mansion seemed to have become nervous.

Everyone was shocked by this loud noise, and soon heard Xie An's knock on the door: "Master, madam, the city is broken!" ”

Chu Yue hurriedly put on her own clothes, and then hurriedly got up with Xie Siyun. The firelight outside seemed to stain half of the sky red, enveloping the whole of Kyoto, and the screams of people were constantly heard.

They were still far from the city gate, but they could already hear the shouts of people from far and near.

Chu Yue's first reaction when he went out was to go to Wang Xie Jiangqi's side: Xie Jiangqi is now six months pregnant, and he can't withstand too much fright.

But as soon as she arrived at Xie Jiangqi's door, she saw that she had already dressed and gone out, looking at the fire outside worriedly: "Brother and sister-in-law, is the capital broken?" ”

Xie Siyun stepped forward and personally draped a coat on her body: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid, with my brother and sister-in-law, I won't let you be hurt!" ”

As soon as he said this, Xie Jiangqi smiled, turned his head to Xie Siyun and smiled slightly, and pouted: "Brother, I'm not a child anymore, why do you want to coax me like this?" ”

Xie Siyun was stunned, and also chuckled: "In your brother's heart, you will always be a child." I remember that in the past, Xiao Qi was most afraid of what to fight and kill, why is he so bold now that he is not afraid of half a point? ”

Xie Jiangqi smiled and leaned on Xie Siyun's shoulder: "Brother, don't forget, who am I marrying...... He learned a lot from his side, and he also knew that fear was the most useless thing. So now I'm not afraid of everything as before, I think I'm so good, what does my brother think? ”

Not to mention Xie Siyun, even Chu Yue also sighed with emotion: Xie Jiangqi has really grown up!

The little girl who used to always hide behind them and blink her eyes at the chaos outside, always timid, has now become a heroine-like character who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

All of them seem to be growing.

Xie Siyun nodded, reached out and stroked Xie Jiangqi's head, and then looked out with a smile: "Yes, as long as you are not afraid, then I have nothing to be afraid of." Now I just want the current thing to pass quickly. ”

"Bang bang bang-"

But as soon as his words fell, he heard someone outside banging on their door hard!

Although everything in the palace has been strengthened since they came to Kyoto, especially the courtyard walls and the palace gates, in the end, they have only been here for a short time, and even after they have been reinforced, they are not completely reassured.

So Xie Siyun instinctively protected Xie Jiangqi and Chu Yue behind him, and then motioned for Xie An to take a look.

As soon as Xie An walked to the door, he heard the people outside shouting, "Hurry up and open the door!" We are the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City, the Prince's Army! We're going to requisition your house now, and open the door quickly! ”

The Prince's Army?!

Hearing this, Chu Yue's eyes showed a little disgust: although the time in Kyoto these days is not long, it can be regarded as being accustomed to seeing those people under the prince's command, which is really disgusting. Now that the people's hearts are longing, I don't know how many people hope that the night rain and wind can replace the prince's position, and the good students will govern the country that is about to festering to the bones, how can they still open the door to the prince's army?

Xie An and the people who had stayed behind immediately raised their torches, aimed their swords at the front door, and put on a completely defensive posture.

And when the people outside saw that there was no response inside, they didn't care about it.

"Bang-bang-bang-"

Chu Yue heard that the people outside were kicking or using something harder, as if they had to open the door of their house!

"If you don't open the door again, you will leave your whole family alive, do you believe it or not?!"

The man outside was so angry that he didn't even choose what to say.

Xie An inside did not flinch at all: "Don't waste your efforts. I don't care who you are outside, and I don't have the right to requisition our mansion at this time. If it is acquaintance, it will quickly retreat. Don't waste your time with us in vain! ”

"Yo he, boy, you wait for me!"

"Boom-"

Chu Yue could hear the sound of the people outside seemingly pulling out their swords, accompanied by his inelegant scolding voice: "He-mother-of--Lao Tzu has lived in Kyoto for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone who dares to argue with me like you Xie Fu!" Wait for me, and when I can get in, I want you to look good! I'm going to let you kid kneel on the ground and make amends for grandpa! ”

With that, he slashed at the gate of Xie Mansion with the sword in his hand.

Xie An still insisted on standing still, but looked back at Xie Siyun: "Master, hurry up and take the lady and ladies to the backyard." I'm afraid that this mansion gate won't last long, and it will be a bloody battle! They are deceiving us from somewhere else, but we can't let them look down on us anymore! If something really happens, I'll be here to stand up for you! ”

The fire outside was blazing, and the red of half the sky illuminated Xie An's determined countenance.

Chu Yue seemed to suddenly realize that no matter what time it was, as long as Xie An was there, he would always stand in front of Chu Yue and Xie Siyun.

"I'll be with you too!"

Just when Chu Yue wanted to open his mouth and say that he wanted to stand here, he saw Yao Qingyan on the side take a long knife out of nowhere, and stood by Xie An's side with the same firmness: "I am annoyed when I hear these people say such wild words!" I'm also with you to fight against them, I don't believe it, I can't hold my eldest brother and second brother to come! ”

Yes, yes, the people of Zeng Haiqi and Leping Village have long taken refuge in the army of Night Rain Wind, and they may have arrived in this city at this moment.

But just as they were hesitating, they suddenly heard the movement of the people outside a little smaller.

Xie An stepped forward in confusion, and heard a woman's cry outside: "Help—help me—don't—don't kill me!" ”

This voice Chu Yue felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly remembered it and asked outside, "Is it Mrs. Li outside?" ”

Mrs. Li only got acquainted with her after she came to Kyoto in the first month. It was their neighbor on the right, the eldest lady of the Li family, a rice merchant in Jiangzhou. He was gentle and humble, and when their Xie family first came to Kyoto, they brought many gifts to the door.

"It's me, it's me! Sister Hatsuki, it's me! ”

Outside, there was a bit of crying in her voice: "I was caught by these soldiers!" Sister Chuyue, help me! ”

"Hahaha, you can't open the door!?"

The next person to speak was the person who knocked on the door just now: "Now that your friend is in my hands, if you don't open the door, I will hand her over to the soldiers behind me!" Anyway, now, we have no way to live, so it's better to be a merry ghost, and this life is not in vain! ”

Is...... Brute!

The corners of Chu Yue's eyes twitched, and her hand couldn't help but clench into a fist at her side.

But Mrs. Li's voice outside was even more rigid, and she no longer prayed: "You kill me!" If you have the ability, kill me! What kind of ability is it to threaten my friends with my woman's name?! ”

In this life, it is not easy to meet like-minded friends.

Chu Yue didn't expect that this Mrs. Li looked gentle on weekdays, but in fact, she was so tough and righteous in her bones.

So she no longer hesitated, and raised her eyes to look at Xie Siyun.

The moment Xie Siyun heard Mrs. Li's voice, he guessed what choice Chu Yue would make, and he also waved to Xie An: "Okay, open the door." Let these bandits in, and I'll see what they can do. ”

No matter when, as long as it was Xie Siyun's will, Xie An never disobeyed.

Even at this moment, maybe all of their lives would be put in Xie Siyun's decision at this moment, Xie An did not hesitate to say to the little guy guarding the gate: "Open the door!" ”

Even though it was to open the door, they were ready: it was impossible to let the man do whatever he wanted after entering the door, either they would die, or the soldiers and bandits under the command of the prince outside would die, and there would never be a third outcome.

This is after the destruction of the castle in Kyoto, the first month of the first month saw the situation outside from the slightly opened gate of the house-

Kyoto was already in chaos, and there were people fleeing everywhere, and the flames were blazing outside, and the sound of soldiers and bandits clashing with the voices of the people shouting in pain was intertwined, creating a chaos that had not been seen since the beginning of the dynasty.

And outside the door of Xie Mansion, there were really soldiers and bandits dripping blood from the tip of their knives.

There were about ten of them in the team, all of them were wounded, and now they had to knock on the door of the Xie Mansion, probably because they wanted to come in and take refuge.

The person in charge was fierce and vicious, and as soon as he entered the door, he threw Mrs. Li, who was covered in dirt and obviously had been broken, in front of Chuyue and Xie Siyun, and then spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground: Lao Tzu said, wait for you, you open the door, you have to die!

There are only more than ten people, but Chu Yue doesn't care about it.

Xie An motioned to the people guarding the door to close the door, and then stared at the leader with the knife in his hand in front of him: "There are so many of you, if you want to make a mistake in our Xie Mansion, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

"Hahaha! I see when you can be so confident! ”

The man looked around without paying attention: "Have you been trained in any kind of training?" How can you compare with us soldiers who are serious? ”

Her eyes also wandered on Chu Yue, Xie Jiangqi and Yao Qingyan: "It seems that Yunqi is good today, but the ladies in your mansion are all better than the ones in the mansion next to you!" Before you die, your brothers can still make you happy! ”

It's all this time, and you're still thinking about it?

Chu Yue felt that it was no wonder that the prince was defeated!
