Song Jinyu is in the capital with brocade clothes and jade food, full of flowers, where has she experienced this.

The swaying figures outside the window and the cries that came into his ears from time to time washed over his heart over and over again, making him completely stunned, not entirely because of fear, but because of shock.

He always thought that under the governance of his uncle, the Great Qi Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, singing and dancing were peaceful, not to mention that every household in the Great Qi Dynasty could be rich, at least barely the last one lived and worked in peace and contentment. He really didn't expect that in a place that the prosperity couldn't hide, it would be like this. Do you really know these things in the capital?

On this way, they walked relatively fast, and changed horses every time they arrived at the post station, and this Xingtai City was thousands of miles away from the capital. It's already remote.

But the bandits blatantly entered the city and plundered, how arrogant.

Feeling his slightly cold hand being held, Song Jinyu came back to his senses, he turned his head, and met Murong Jin's calm and waveless eyes. Although she didn't speak, from her eyes, Song Jinyu could tell that Murong Jin was comforting him.

He wanted to smile at Murong Jin, indicating that he didn't matter, but in this case, he felt that he couldn't laugh at all.

There was a slight knock on the door. It was very rhythmic, and the guard guarding the door opened a gap in the door panel, and soon a guard who went out to inquire about the situation flashed in.

"General." He's wearing a mystery? The colored robe, with a heavy cold air on his body, and a faint smell of blood. His long sword was already unsheathed, put it upside down in his hand, knelt down on one knee in front of Murong Jin, hugged his hands and said, "The place in the south of the city near the city gate is already in a sea of fire. According to the subordinates, it is believed that someone had infiltrated the city during the day, killed the soldiers at the martyrdom gate during the night, and opened the gate from the inside, so the bandits were put into the city. There are many wealthy households in the south of the city, and some of them have nursing homes in their homes, and they are still resisting stubbornly, but from the perspective of their subordinates, they can't resist the attack of the group of bandits at all. The subordinates checked a few places, and those people didn't want to be simple bandits, and it seemed that there were Qiang people mixed in. The subordinates heard the Qiang language. ”

Qiang? Song Jinyu looked at Murong Jin as soon as she heard this.

Murong Jin's eyebrows barely moved, towering like a mountain.

This place is already very close to the western frontier, could it be that the Qiang people have only been talking for a short time, and they are already ready to move?

"Which way did they go the fastest?" Murong Jin asked in a deep voice.

"It's two streets away. Every time they robbed a street, they set fire to their houses. Men and women, if they meet them, they will surely die. Iron Guard said. The nearby streets have been blocked by the fleeing people, and the water is impassable, and they can't even walk. Because of the crowding, the subordinates also saw people who trampled to death. General, once all the bandits are killed, there will be a lot of them. This inn probably can't be saved. The subordinates advised everyone to evacuate from the roof. There are too many people in the north of the city, you can go to the west of the city. ”

"Yue, Xiangxiang, can you prepare the things you just asked you to prepare?" Murong Jin calmly looked at his two maids.

Although Yue and Xianxiang were also frightened, they saw Murong Jin so calm. They also mustered up their courage and nodded vigorously. On the first day they were sent to General Murong, Mrs. Changle Hou told them that their young lady was different from ordinary noblewomen, and it was their blessing to be able to choose the general's side, and they believed it, and today, following Murong Jin all the way, the two of them felt that no matter how scared they were, they couldn't embarrass their young lady.

With the young lady here, everything is fearless.

"Okay.? Divide the things you have prepared and give them some each. Murong Jin nodded. Yue and Xian Xiang hurriedly distributed the medicine and food that Murong Jin had just asked them to take out in the carriage to the twelve iron guards, and Murong Jin turned to his own iron guards and distributed: "Little five, little six." Xiao Qiyi will take care of the three of you in the shopkeeper's family. Primary 3 and 4 are responsible for taking care of it? Fish and dried shrimp. Xiao Jiu is responsible for leading the way, Xiao Eleven and Xiao Twelve, do you protect it? Moon and incense. ”

"Yes." The twelve guards assigned to the task all saluted with their fists, and their movements were uniform.

They were all orphans adopted by Murong Jin's parents, and they were raised in the cottage since they were young, teaching them martial arts. asked them to protect the little master, and after Murong Jin followed his parents to the battlefield, they were also incorporated by Murong Ji's father in the guard. Murong Jin's mother is good at everything, but the name is a waste wood, which can be seen from Murong Jin's name.

In fact, Murong Jin's mother wanted her daughter to have food and clothing in the future. Everyone likes it, so after thinking about it, she got the word "gold" as her name, what everyone likes in this world, and what can make people not worry about food and clothing is not gold? So she didn't bother to rack her brains to think of names for these twelve children, so she followed their age. From one to twelve.

The shopkeeper's family didn't know what to say at all. In the face of great changes, they already had no masters, but now they saw that the young man in front of them, who was called a general, was arranged in an orderly manner, and they were not in a hurry, they obviously had completely regarded Murong Jin as the backbone.

"Let's go." Murong Jin pulled Song Jinyu to stand up. Seeing the cloak slip off his shoulders, she grabbed the collar of the cloak for him, and then fastened it for him. "It's going to be cold outside." She said calmly.

"I know." Song Jinyu lowered her eyes and answered softly. "I'll just follow you." In fact, he knew that Murong Jin wanted to tell him not to be afraid, but because there were many people here, she was afraid that saying such a thing would hurt his face, so she changed her way of saying it.

He was really not afraid.

"Yes." Murong Jin nodded.

Everyone walked into the patio in an orderly manner according to Murong Jin's arrangement, and then jumped on the roof one by one.

Isn't it the moon tonight? On a windy night, there was a bright moon and a bright star in the sky, but the bright moon and the bright star had been covered by the raging fire in the south of the city. After going to the roof, Song Jinyu saw it more clearly.

The street is really as Xiao Jiu said just now, and it has been crowded by the fleeing crowd. There are smart people who know that they have climbed over the wall, but it has snowed, and there is snow on the wall and the snow melts during the day. The ice floe that condensed again at night was slippery and abnormal, and now it was night when it was completely unclear, in the panic, many people who climbed the wall fell down again, and the consequences were even more serious, the strong ones could get up, and the slightly unlucky ones were directly trampled on the ground by the crowd, and there would be no more chance to stand up again.

Xiao Jiu had just figured out the best way to retreat, he was leading the way at the top of the wall, and the others followed closely, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

Murong Jin, the follower of the Twelve Iron Guards, fought in the south and the north, was accustomed to seeing cruel scenes, and could be calm about what happened under his feet. But? Month, incense. Shrimp, fish and Song Jinyu are the first time to see this kind of situation. Song Jinyu is okay, can she calm down and attack Xianghe? Even if Yue told himself to be strong, he was trembling with fear at the moment, as for the shrimp and? The fish was pale, and he couldn't even say a word.

Song Jinyu looked at the fire that had been lit up for a long time in the south, and then turned her eyes to look at her daughter-in-law. Murong Jin was as quiet as a dry well, his eyes were bright, but there was no joy or sorrow. At this moment, Song Jinyu felt that Murong Jin beside her seemed to be a different person. It seems that she is different from her on weekdays, atmospheric, calm, calm, not chaotic, with a kind of concentration that collapses in front of her.

This is the real general of their Great Qi! Looking at Murong Jin's flickering side face reflected by the firelight, Song Jinyu's heart also calmed down.

Xiao Jiu's efficiency is very high, and what he found in the west of the city is an alley that is narrow in the front and wide in the back. At the end of the alley is the ancestral hall of a large dilapidated family, which has been vacant for a long time, and the contents are long gone, and it is also dilapidated.

The ancestral hall was occupied by a few beggars, and those beggars saw Murong Jin and their large group come in. Seeing that they were imposing, neatly dressed and gorgeous, knowing that the nobles who had fled from the south of the city, they didn't dare to step forward, and took the initiative to give up a large open space to Murong Jin and them. The men huddled in a leeward corner to warm themselves by the fire.

Xiao Jiu's choice was very good, and Murong Jin nodded as soon as he took a look at the terrain.

The back of the alley house is wide, and it is shrunk in the innermost, which is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"You four go to the alley and keep guard." Murong Jin said to the four iron guards.

The guards who had received the order saluted and took the order.

Murong Jin settled the shopkeeper's family with Song Jinyu, and then got up and looked around the broken courtyard, there were still many places in this ancestral hall. Murong Jin said to Xiao Ba and Xiao Shi, "You and Xiao Yi and Xiao Er go around the neighborhood, if you see people who have fled to the south of the city and have nowhere to go, you can bring them here, try to bring women, children, old and children, as far as possible, as for the young and strong men, you can postpone." You must remember not to be strong, you must do what you can on the premise of protecting yourself, and by the way, see what the scene in the south of the city is, and report anything abnormal at any time. They will definitely leave before dawn. So let's just get through the night. ”

"Yes." The four guards commanded.

It didn't take long for the iron guards who went out to start bringing people back to the ancestral hall one after another, as Murong Jin said, most of them were women, children, old and young.

Song Jinyu saw that he couldn't help anything else, but he could help settle those who were rescued by the guards one by one.

He first looked inside and out, and then divided it into several areas.
