Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the crowd, and everyone else retreated, only to see Anan fighting with a family member. The Ding Gan was thin and thin, and naturally he couldn't beat Anan, so he was tightly grabbed by Anan by the collar and couldn't move.

"Miss, this person wants to run away." Anan-do.

Guo Xiaoxiao pushed aside the crowd, walked in front of the family, bent down slightly, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Is what she said true?" ”

The family's name is Dagui, and he is a small boy who feeds the horses in the backyard.

Dagui curled up and said, "Minion...... Minions don't dare. ”

"Hmph."

Guo Xiaoxiao chuckled, turned around and walked to the original position, and said loudly: "I know that many of you are worried about eating, and I will tell you truthfully that Yangzhou is in danger now, and my Guo family is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself." You have more or less been in the Guo family for a few years, and you know how the Guo family treats you. But I think that when a catastrophe comes, the only way to stay warm is to stay warm. ”

As he spoke, Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head and turned his back. Everyone looked at each other, and several people were already ready to leave.

"If you want to go, go, and if you don't want to go, stay." Guo Xiaoxiao's tone was very heavy, "Those who stay, I will treat them as relatives, and life and death are tied together." ”

Yangzhou is embattled, and when the Japanese invaders break the city, it will be difficult to escape. As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao's words came out, Dagui fled from the crowd with his baggage. Immediately afterwards, three or four more people left, seven or eight people, and more than a dozen people, until in the end, only Datang, Nanyue, Xiaozhu, Anan and Steward Zhang were left.

"Miss." Nan Yue looked at Guo Xiaoxiao in a daze.

"Let's go, let's relax." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly.

It took half an hour to dismiss the subordinates, and Guo Xiaoxiao immediately took Mrs. Guo and the servants into the carriage. Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, Steward Zhang was reasonable, Shu is Guo Xiaoxiao's foundation, and it is in the mainland, so it is suitable to avoid the Japanese invaders. So Guo Xiaoxiao and his party rushed to the territory.

To go to Shudi, you must pass through Yingtianfu. It was originally the imperial capital set by Ming Taizu, so there were many officials and nobles. It is also rich and prosperous, but it is not as good as the merchant spirit of Yangzhou.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't know what the situation in Ying Tianfu was, so he just took Mrs. Guo and the servants to the west, lest the Japanese invaders chase after him. The carriage ran for a long time, and it was not until late at night that Guo Xiaoxiao and his party stopped to rest.

Anan took out dry food and vegetables from the carriage and planned to cook some dishes. Datang went to find hay to feed the horses. Mrs. Guo and Steward Zhang were old, and they were already tired from the bumpy road, so Xiaozhu waited on the side.

Guo Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage and rested on a big rock. Nan Yue took a coat and covered it with Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled at her, and Nan Yue sat down in Guo Xiaoxiao.

"It's almost the end of the year, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Nan Yue sighed.

"The pirates don't talk about time, they're hungry and crazy, and they're going to kill people." Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"The scene of celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve in Jiangfu last year seems to be still in front of us." The corners of Nan Yue's mouth raised a smile, "At that time, I was in Jiangfu, and the other little maids set off lights, watched fireworks, and ate rice cakes, and these happy days are gone forever." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao held Nan Yue's hand and said, "No, the emperor will definitely send someone to save everyone." ”

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to save the fire from far away." Nan Yue lowered her head in frustration.

Guo Xiaoxiao took Nan Yue in his arms and said, "So we have to huddle together to keep warm and withstand the test of King Yama." As soon as the hussar general Chen Zhen arrives in Jiangnan, we will not be far from being saved. ”

That night, several people slept in three carriages. Guo Xiaoxiao pillowed on Mrs. Guo's lap, and dreamed of Jiang Zhiyuan in his dream.

The coastal defense was broken, and Jiang Zhiyuan may not have received the message yet. I am most afraid that Jiang Zhiyuan has just cleaned up the bandits in the desolate mountain with his front foot, and he will encounter the Japanese robbers on his back foot. If so, then fate is really unfair.

I heard that Master Jiang had also evacuated from Yangzhou to Yingtianfu, not long after Guo Xiaoxiao and the others left Yangzhou. Now Yangzhou should be an empty city.

The next day, just after dawn, Datang drove the carriage forward. There were a total of three carriages, one of which was in charge of Datang, and the other two were driven by Steward Zhang and Anan.

Several people walked for a long time, and finally met the crowd. It looks like a refugee camp, with dozens of families fleeing, all of them poor.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't know how far away from Ying Tianfu was, so he got out of the car to inquire about the situation. Guo Xiaoxiao walked up to an old man and said, "May I ask the old man, how far is it from Ying Tianfu here?" ”

The old man sat on crutches on the muddy floor, his eyes full of sorrow: "Just walk another mile." ”

"Dare to ask where the old man is from and where he is going?"

"I fled from Zhenjiang, and I arrived at Yingtianfu last night, but the guards at the city gate didn't open the door. Several strong men tried to break in, but were killed by an arrow. Those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled can only leave. ”

"Then why don't you run away?"

"When several other cities heard that Yangzhou had been breached, they had already fled into the wilderness. We were looking for refuge elsewhere, but where is there any place to take refuge now? ”

"Yangzhou was broken, when did it happen?" Guo Xiaoxiao was shocked.

"Just last night, the Japanese invaded the yamen while it was dark, and as soon as they saw that the yamen was empty, they knew that the governor of Yangzhou had fled, so they invaded on a large scale."

"I see." Guo Xiaoxiao was in a trance, and after thanking the old man, he slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Datang asked. Several other people also gathered.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it, and suddenly grabbed the skirt on his leg and said, "Run!" ”

Datang's face changed suddenly.

"The city of Yangzhou has become an empty city, and the Japanese can occupy Yangzhou without a single soldier. Before the rescue troops from Beijing arrived, the surrounding cities were all defenseless. As soon as the Japanese arrived, they could plunder the land without attacking the city. The more Guo Xiaoxiao said, the more serious it became, "Let's, we have to escape!" Otherwise, the Wokou will come! ”

"Yes, yes." Datang became trembling when he spoke.

Several people immediately jumped into the carriage and ran westward.

"Ying Tianfu is blocked, where are we going?" Datang drove on the side of the road.

Guo Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain suddenly, looked around, and said, "Chuzhou!" Chuzhou! ”

Three carriages crossed the pool, skimmed the meadows, and rushed towards Chuzhou like arrows. However, Guo Xiaoxiao and the others didn't leave for long, and there was a commotion behind them.

There are seven or eight of them, and the carriage is like Guo Xiaoxiao's side. Datang thought it was a widow, so he raised his horsewhip and beat the horse vigorously and ran forward. Guo Xiaoxiao also heard the noise outside, grabbed the wall of the carriage, and swayed in the carriage.

I didn't want to run for half an hour, and the carriage behind him still didn't stop chasing, but Guo Xiaoxiao's horses were tired. I saw the horse's legs bent and he fell to his knees suddenly. Guo Xiaoxiao and Nan Yue rode in the same carriage, and the two of them clung to the place where the car could be grabbed and were almost thrown out.

After a period of dizziness, Guo Xiaoxiao got up from the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked, only to see seven or eight carriages continuing to run in the direction of Chuzhou.

Guo Xiaoxiao was shocked, it turned out that those carriages were not here to chase him. Guo Xiaoxiao and Nan Yue got out of the carriage, Xiaozhu and Anan were fine, but Steward Zhang and Mrs. Guo were choked by the bumps. Because the horse suddenly knelt down, Datang rushed to the front, and his whole body hit the ground.

"Datang!" Guo Xiaoxiao ran over and squatted down, "How are you?" ”

"Probably...... It's time to get rid of a hand. Datang spoke with difficulty.

At this time, Guo Xiaoxiao saw that Datang was covering his left arm, which was already bleeding. Guo Xiaoxiao and Nan Yue hurriedly helped Datang aside to rest. Guo Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and looked around, thinking that he couldn't leave at all with these old, weak, sick and disabled people. Just as he was thinking about it for a while, he saw a large crowd of people rushing towards him.

The people were also dragged by their families, all of them looked frightened, and their expressions were more panicked than being chased by a vicious wolf. A huge flow of people like Guo Xiaoxiao came here, and Guo Xiaoxiao and several people hurriedly retreated to the side.

"What happened?" Guo Xiaoxiao grabbed a man and said.

"The Japanese are coming, run for your life." The man shook off Guo Xiaoxiao's hand vigorously.

"Wolver! The Japanese are coming, everyone run. Guo Xiaoxiao said to Mrs. Guo and the domestic servant. So, Anan hugged Steward Zhang, Nan Yue and Xiaozhu hugged Datang, and Guo Xiaoxiao hugged Mrs. Guo, and fled with the current.

However, a few old, weak, sick and disabled people were walking slowly, and it didn't take long for Guo Xiaoxiao to hear the sound of fierce horses behind him. Before Guo Xiaoxiao could turn around, several people were killed by the ferocious Japanese robbers.

Guo Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Mrs. Guo to run forward. The speed of the fierce horse is finally faster than the human, and the Japanese first targeted the broken Datang, and after capturing Nan Yue and Xiaozhu, he used a big knife to finish off the Datang.

"Miss!" Behind him, there was a tragic cry from Datang.

Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head suddenly, watched Datang's blood gush out, and fell straight to the ground.

"Datang!" Guo Xiaoxiao howled in shock, but he attracted the Japanese on the horse, which was the leader of the Japanese - Goshawk Tianxia.

The goshawk rode a big horse towards Guo Xiaoxiao, and when he saw that Guo Xiaoxiao did not escape, he stopped a foot away from Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Stunning beauty" goshawk smiled at Guo Xiaoxiao, waved his robe, and jumped off the war horse.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw the goshawk walking towards him, biting his lip and not moving. The goshawk is getting deeper and deeper, Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes are piercing, and he picks up the big knife on the ground and slashes at the goshawk.

The goshawk reacted quickly, and turned around to dodge Guo Xiaoxiao's attack. Guo Xiaoxiao held the big knife and slashed at the goshawk again, the goshawk clenched his fist and hit Guo Xiaoxiao's wrist, the big knife was bounced out, and Guo Xiaoxiao fell to the ground due to inertia.

"Bastard!" The goshawk's deputy envoy rushed over and slashed Guo Xiaoxiao with a bright broadsword.

Just when Guo Xiaoxiao thought that he was going to die in Huangquan, a spear blocked the big knife of Wicuo.

"Your Majesty." The broadsword of the wisp was still resting on the goshawk's spear.

"Go away!" The goshawk spoke in a faint tone, but with an order that could not be disobeyed.

Wicuo glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao who was lying on the ground with hatred, and quickly withdrew the big knife and stepped aside.
