Chapter 238: Response
There were several long screams in the main room, Gan Yingting's hands were taken off, her foot bones were split, and she was sweating profusely in pain, and she was about to faint.
"Xianglan, tie her up and leave her here." Ayu looked coldly at the woman who was paralyzed on the ground, "If I am lucky enough to live, I will pay tribute to these people who died today." If the sky is going to kill me, pull you to bury you. ”
Gan Yingting was so painful that she couldn't speak, but she was still laughing, things had come to this point, of course she wanted to be buried, not memorialized.
Outside the backyard, the thieves were about to come in.
Ayu asked Xiangping to go out to take a look at the situation, knowing that there were not many people left on his side, the other party came prepared, the force value of the personnel was extraordinary, and he was also thinking about how to reverse the tide of the battle.
Xianglan has already taken the first step down the mountain to report the news, and it is unknown whether she can get out smoothly, and it is not advisable for her to blindly rely on rescuers.
Ayu frowned, and then she felt her sleeves being pulled, and when she turned her head, she saw her son snorting to herself, stretching out her hand and pointing to the candlestick in the distance.
"Lights, fire?"
The corners of Ayu's mouth curled slightly, and she finally understood what her son was trying to convey.
"Xiangping, isn't there a small kitchen on the edge of the yard, you went over and lit that place, as long as the fire doesn't spread to the main house."
Yes, use the fire to remind the people in the city, who will come up to see what is going on when they see a fire in the temple, regardless of whether anyone reports it or not.
"Yes."
Xiangping also quickly understood what the master meant, and hurriedly ran over with the two mothers-in-law to light the fire, not wanting to suddenly turn in a person from the wall of the back door.
This person was dressed in a monk's gray shirt, and his head was also shaved, and he looked like a monk in the temple.
But he didn't feel like Xiangping was on his side, so the two fought without saying a word when they met.
"Ignition."
Xiangping yelled at the two mothers-in-law behind her.
The two mothers-in-law were frightened, but it was impossible not to obey the master's orders, and one of them trembled and carried the oil lamp to approach the haystack, and was kicked to the ground by the monk.
Seeing this, the other mother-in-law also went over, and threw the lantern in her hand directly to the top of the small kitchen.
This small kitchen for pilgrims is made of grass and wooden stakes, and it burns directly when it meets fire.
The monk was the one who was looking for Su Jin to poison him in the afternoon, guessed the purpose of these people's ignition and wanted to jump on it to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately he was entangled by Xiangping and couldn't get out for a while.
On the other side of the main room, Ayu also came out with her son in her arms.
Seeing that the fire had been ignited, I slowly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
At this time, Xiao Nuan, who had been watching the situation in front, ran over quickly, and hurriedly saluted Ayu and said, "Niangniang, those people have come in." ”
Xiao Nuan's little face was already frightened, and she pointed in the direction of the front yard, her legs trembling.
Ah Yu must have panicked when she heard that those people had arrived, but she quickly stabilized her mind and said to the obviously trembling slaves around her, "Don't be afraid, the people down the mountain will come up to save us when they see the fire above." ”
"Yes."
The master was steady, and the subordinates finally had a little backbone, and everyone snuggled up to each other, staring at the dark courtyard gate in front of them.
After a while, Banzhi's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
She was one against three, and she was forced to start retreating step by step.
It seems that many people on his side have been poisoned.
Ayu glanced down at the son in her arms, from the beginning Aqiu showed extraordinary calmness, not at all like a child more than half a year old.
At this time, Aqiu was also looking at her when Ayu looked over, looking at each other, unable to see each other's emotions, but smiling at each other.
"Don't be afraid, since I brought you to this world, I will protect you."
Ayu turned around and went back to the room, asked Xiao Nuan, who followed up to serve, to find her a sheet, cut off a piece that covered most of Aqiu's body, and tied him to herself.
"Mother?"
Xiao Nuan doesn't know, how can so many people outside use the master like this.
"It's okay, let's go out."
Ayu carried her son on her back and said to those uneasy subordinates, "After a while, everyone can just run for their lives, and they don't need to take care of our mother and son." ”
"Mother's ......"
Everyone choked up, and no matter how afraid they were, they couldn't do such a thing as abandoning the Lord and running away.
"You don't have to have any burden in your heart, I will find a way to leave, you will try your best to save your life, and then you will be lucky enough to return to the mansion, and you will still be the master and servant."
Ayu said lightly, seeing that the person outside was getting closer and closer, and the whole scene seemed to be supported by only Banzhi and two or three people, and sighed deeply.
There have been so many people around her in the last year or so that she doesn't want to use her power to escape if she can.
At the back door, the fire had spread throughout the kitchen.
Xiangping fought hard for a long time, and finally injured the man, but unfortunately escaped for him.
She didn't chase it, but went to the roof, and watched from a distance that a group of figures in the mountains were surging rapidly towards this side, and she was overjoyed, and smiled below, "Niangniang, those people under the mountain have come up." ”
Xiangping said and ran in the direction of the front yard along Washuo, took out a small bamboo tube from her waist and put it on her lips, aimed at the figure in the distance who ran away with her arms in the distance, and burst out of breath, blowing out a poisonous needle in the bamboo tube with air, hitting the person's neck.
The monk in the distance was the one who had just fought with Xiangping, and at this time, he didn't feel much at first, but he fell down soon after taking a few steps.
At this time, Xiangping also turned over and got off the ground, and stepped forward to help Banzhi fight those who broke in.
There were only a dozen enemies who came to the temple, and only half of them were left after a hard battle, but their side was even worse, except for Banzhi and Xiangping, there were only two wounded guards left.
Nearly ten people were fighting in the courtyard, and Ayu heard Xiangping say that the guards under the mountain had come to reinforce just now, and he didn't plan to escape, so he was protected by a group of slaves and began to lean towards the back door.
She thought that if she held on a little longer, the situation would be turned around when those men arrived, after all, there were more than two dozen guards guarding the supplies and carriages at the bottom of the mountain.
The reinforcements are coming, and the maids and women are not afraid, and everyone is relieved.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly rose from the bottom of the mountain, flashed in mid-air, and soon disappeared into the night.
This is?
Ringing arrows!
Ayu was stunned, she hadn't seen those things, she was just guessing.
But Banzhi and the others, who were fighting, were shocked in their hearts.
It was indeed an arrow just now, but it was not a good thing, it was a fiery arrow that would only be released when the situation was urgent and the enemy was attacking.
Looking at that direction, it should be the location of the convoy under the mountain, but those people have already gone up the mountain to save people, if the arrow had been put in a long time ago, how could it be now.
After thinking about it, reinforcements from the bottom of the mountain have arrived.
Dressed in the clothes of the palace guards, but not from the palace.
