Chapter 152: Fire
For the safety of her and the child in her womb, it is naturally nothing to change places, but the thought of danger Ayu palpitated.
"Banzhi, if there is really something, can the safety of this side be guaranteed?"
This time, Ayu was temporarily arranged to leave in order to create a false image, and most of the maids and eunuchs were to make a show here.
Not only them, but the Bai family is still living on the first floor, and Ayu must not be at ease.
"Mother, their biggest target is you, if you don't have it here, they will be safe. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to tell Master Bai about this, so that they can be prepared, and the people here will protect those who stay. ”
Banzhi wanted to dispel her worries and try to say as many words as possible to comfort her.
Ayu knew that the situation was tense, and it would not work if she didn't leave, so she nodded and asked Zhao Nuan to change her clothes.
After a while, she wore the clothes of a second-class maid, held two thin quilts to cover her belly, and went downstairs with Banzhi.
At this time, in Ma Xiaowan's room on the second floor, Xiao Dongzi and two guards were questioning.
The missing maid was the second-class maid named Chan Yi in Tingfeng Courtyard, and Xiao Dongzi naturally knew that it was an informant put in by Zhou Gonggong, and he didn't dare to treat it as an ordinary incident.
"A little maid, if she runs away, she will run away, do you need to check it with such fanfare?"
Ma Xiaowan was very unhappy that she was disturbed, and when she saw those guards standing at the door of her room, she wanted to blast these people out.
"Niangniang, the current situation is different from the past, this little girl can't say who sent the fine work, if she just runs away and leaks our itinerary, it will be troublesome then."
Xiao Dongzi looked serious, looking like he was thinking about the overall situation.
Ma Xiaowan snorted coldly, "Even if she is meticulous, you should take someone outside to find talents, what's the point of finding me here?" ”
"What Niangniang said is that someone outside has already gone out to investigate, and these subordinates around you can't let go, maybe there are her accomplices inside."
After Xiao Dongzi finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and directly asked the two mothers-in-law to come in and pull away the wounds inside.
"Mother's ......"
Hurt Qiu was a little scared, and looked at Ma Xiaowan with a worried face, not wanting to be taken away like this.
Ma Xiaowan didn't want to have no one around her who had to be used, so she immediately patted the table and said, "Bold." Little father-in-law, what do you mean by this? Even my personal maid has to be brought, is it suspicious of my head? ”
Xiao Dongzi bowed and said, "The slave doesn't dare." Please rest assured, two new maids will be sent up to you in a while, and those people will be released if they have not contacted the destination of the minions. ”
After Xiao Dongzi finished speaking, he went out directly, and asked people to take away the injured Qiu, but the guards at the door still stayed here, making it clear that Ma Xiaowan was going to be placed under house arrest.
Ma Xiaowan clenched her fists in anger and watched the hatred in her eyes emerge outside the door.
But she quickly calmed down again, and looked out the window, with a hint of a smile in her gloomy expression.
Outside Baoping Town, Dark Er was patrolling outside with a team of people.
The people who were still in the team during the day disappeared inexplicably, and everyone was very vigilant in their hearts.
Unfortunately, it was already a mile or two away from the town, and the team didn't find anything.
"Receive."
Dark Er gestured behind him, and the group was about to leave when a guard ran out from behind a haystack.
"Commander, there's a situation here."
Darker rode over, and under the man's guidance, he went behind the tall haystack and found some scattered dark gray marks on the ground.
Dark Er frowned, dipped a little in his fingertips, and twisted, "It's gunpowder." ”
Hearing that it was gunpowder, everyone's faces changed, and they immediately turned on their horses and returned to the town as fast as they could.
But they were only halfway there, when they saw a red fire coming out of the town inn.
It seems that those people knew that they would settle here, and they were prepared in advance.
Dark Er gritted his teeth in anger, and commanded in a low voice, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, the personal guards and I will escort Niangniang away, and the others will go back to the inn to save people." ”
This time of refuge, not only the royal family, but also some women and children are officials of Liangzhou, and they are all the relatives of King Liang.
The two teams parted ways at the entrance of the town, and the town was already in chaos at this time.
A fire broke out in the backyard of the inn, and now it's not just the people over there who are scurrying outside, but the whole town is in chaos, and many civilians are being affected.
In the convoy outside the town, Ayu saw the fire outside, and had an urge to go down.
"Niangniang, don't worry, those people may be coming for you, if you go on like this, you will be exposed."
Zhao Nuan whispered inside, after Ayu went downstairs pretending to be a little maid, she had been hiding in a small carriage in the convoy outside the town, and Zhao Nuan and Banzhi were here to accompany her.
"If those people are coming for me, Xianglan and Xiangping may be in danger."
She left, and Xianglan and Xiangping became stand-ins.
"Don't worry, they know very well that life and death are fate."
Banzhi said as he pulled out a long sword from the roof of the car and squatted in the back of the car with a wary expression.
At this time, there was already a fight on the inn side, and many people were pouring out, all the way to this side of the convoy, all wanting to leave in a carriage.
"Sister Banzhi, aren't we going to leave now?"
Zhao Nuan was shocked when he saw the situation outside through the crack in the window, once those people approached, they were likely to be exposed!
"Now is not the time, if you are the first to rush out, you will immediately be seen through, and only when a few more cars leave together can you confuse the public."
Banzhi is a person who has seen wind and waves, and his expression is very stable.
Zhao Nuan couldn't help it, and was already so frightened that she began to tremble.
Ayu reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry. ”
"Mother, I, I'm not in a hurry."
Comforted by his master, Zhao Nuan suddenly felt that he was very useless, clenched his fists, and stabilized his mind.
In fact, Ayu is no better than her, and she has been worried about the situation in her mother's side.
After a while, Dark Er's team arrived, and as Banzhi thought, he didn't immediately beat the horse and leave, but first pulled those who escaped to the last carriage, and let the horse go first.
"Mother, hold it steady, we're going to leave too."
Banzhi gently lifted the curtain of the car, took the sword and drilled out directly.
Zhao Nuan panicked when she saw her leave, and said, "Are you leaving, don't wait for Master Bai and them." ”
She knew very well that Ayu was worried about the situation on her mother's side, so she made a suggestion.
Ayu was also looking at the situation in the window, and shook her head when she heard this, "Don't wait, as long as we leave, those who didn't get into the car will be safe." ”
If those people came for her and didn't find anyone at the inn, they would also think of hiding in the convoy, and as long as she left, they would just chase after her.
In just a few breaths, several carriages had already left the convoy first, and they were all the concubines of the palace who lived on the first floor and ran out first.
When they got into the car, they urged the coachman on it to go first, and the driver was also very obedient, no matter how many people got on, they left directly.
