Long Chuan had no choice but to take the meat soup and heat it again. Guo Xiaoxiao squinted contemptuously, and after Long Chuan left, she threw the eyebrow pencil aside.

Now that he has become a prisoner, Guo Xiaoxiao should not have survived, but he couldn't let go of his mother and Steward Zhang, so Guo Xiaoxiao could only compromise.

After breakfast, Guo Xiaoxiao said that he wanted to rest and asked Long Chuan to retreat. This goshawk lives in a particular place, and must choose a sunny one with a window.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to herself, just right, if there are iron walls everywhere, she will despair. Guo Xiaoxiao quietly opened the window, but fortunately this floor is not high, about thirty feet. Guo Xiaoxiao found a sheet, knotted it into a rope, and threw the other end to the bed frame on his face, and the other end was thrown out of the window.

Guo Xiaoxiao escaped smoothly. As soon as she landed, she noticed that she was surrounded by guards. Guo Xiaoxiao took advantage of their inattention and sneaked out onto the street.

Fortunately, I usually don't go shopping, otherwise I would definitely get lost. Guo Xiaoxiao shuttled through the streets and alleys familiarly, thinking to herself, she had to find a place to hide.

Where is the best place to hide? Guo Mansion can't go back, isn't there still Zijin Fang? She had an idea, and was about to slip in through the back door of Zijinfang, when she vaguely heard someone calling "Miss".

"Who?" Guo Xiaoxiao listened carefully.

"Miss, I'm Anan."

"Anan." Guo Xiaoxiao looked for a sound, but there was no one.

"Miss, I'm here."

Guo Xiaoxiao turned a corner and found Anan hiding in a hollow stone statue, bending down to see someone inside.

"Wow, how did you get in?" Guo Xiaoxiao crossed his waist with his hands.

Anan laughed and said, "I have a lot of strength, and I half-lifted the stone statue and got into it." ”

"It's been really hard for you to avoid the pirates."

"It would be nice to be able to save my life."

"By the way, why are you here?"

"That day, the Japanese invaders were killing on the way to Chuzhou, and I hid in the grass as soon as I saw that the situation was not right. The would-be thieves didn't notice me for a while, so they left. ”

"You're so powerful, you've mastered both the Escape Technique and the Stealth Technique." Guo Xiaoxiao really admires that among them, the largest is Anan, but only Anan escaped the catastrophe.

"What about you, Miss? Why are you alone? What about them, ma'am? Anan was still hiding in the statue.

"I was taken prisoner, placed under house arrest for several days, and just escaped without the Japanese being noticed. Niang and Nanyue are now uncertain about their life and death. Guo Xiaoxiao's eyebrows furrowed.

"Alas, this group of evil robbers has killed so many people, they really deserve a thousand cuts." Anan sighed, "It's just that our strength is not enough to shake the Wako." I wonder when General Chen will arrive? ”

"I'm afraid I can't wait for General Chen." Guo Xiaoxiao is also very anxious.

"So what do we do now?"

Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "Wait a little longer, if Jingzhong doesn't transfer troops, there will definitely be people in the local area who will revolt." Let's recharge our energy first to make sure we can survive. ”

"Hmm."

"Come out quickly, it's very uncomfortable to hide inside, let's go back to Zijinfang."

"When you come out, you'll meet the Japanese Invaders."

"Oh, I know there's a place where people can be hidden."

So Anan turned up the stone statue and came out. Guo Xiaoxiao took Anan to the yamen. Sure enough, the yamen was empty, and Master Jiang moved with all the yamen. Guo Xiaoxiao took Anan through the inner hall and came to a side room.

Guo Xiaoxiao turned the lantern next to the desk, and then the bookshelf automatically pushed to the right, and the entrance appeared.

"Come on." Guo Xiaoxiao called.

Anan was amazed at the secret room of the yamen. Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the side of the mural, reached out and pressed the dragon's eyes, and the door closed again.

"How did the eldest lady know that there was a secret room here?"

Anan felt very strange, obviously Guo Xiaoxiao had not been to the yamen a few times, how could he know such a secret place, and Guo Xiaoxiao knew the settings so well.

"My friend told me." Guo Xiaoxiao lied.

"It's very safe here." Anan looked around and found that there were not only desks and beds, but also basic living utensils, and a stove for cooking.

"By the way, what are you eating these days?" Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the desk.

Anan smiled: "I'm a cook, how can I starve to death!" ”

"However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice."

"Fortunately, it was not a barren era, and the people were in a hurry, and there was still a lot of food to take away, so I secretly looked for ingredients to cook in Zijin Fang at night. I was worried that the stir-fry would be too loud and that it would take too long to cook, so I stewed a big pot of rice at once and ate every day to fill my stomach. ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao nodded.

Anan was also very suspicious of Guo Xiaoxiao, and wanted to know how Guo Xiaoxiao spent his days in the past few days, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to ask more.

"Don't we have dry food? Guo Xiaoxiao asked again.

"The dry food was lost along with the luggage on the day of the escape."

"What about the silver taels in the luggage?" Guo Xiaoxiao is still very distressed about money, after all, it is dozens of taels of silver.

"I lost my luggage too." Anan bowed his head in disdain.

"It's okay, money is something outside the body, if it's gone, it's gone." After a while, Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered a very important object and asked Anan, "After you left there, have you ever gone back to see it?" ”

"I took advantage of the chaos to enter Yangzhou City, and then Yangzhou City was sealed and I couldn't get out."

Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and originally wanted to ask Anan if the oil-paper umbrella with chrysanthemums was still in his luggage. Now, it seems, there is no need to ask.

Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't know how long such a day will last, so he can only rely on perseverance.

On the other side of Changliju, as soon as the goshawk came back from the front line, Long Chuan walked up to him and whispered, "That girl really escaped." ”

The goshawk picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "When did it happen?" ”

"This morning, not long after breakfast."

"Where is she now?" The goshawk blew on the tea.

"It should be in the yamen."

Goshawk put the teacup back on the table and said, "She'll come in handy in a few days, so be sure to keep an eye on me." ”

"Yes."

On the fifth day of the first month, the sky changed dramatically, and somehow, the sky was dark, and the black pressure was overwhelming, as if it was going to rain heavily.

Anan ran out of the secret room, looked at the dark clouds that were born in the sky, and sighed: "The spring is warm and cold, it is a light rain, how can there be a storm?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao is still asleep in bed, and at this moment, only the arrival of General Chen will rescue Yangzhou. General Chen didn't come, even if the tornado came, Guo Xiaoxiao wouldn't be surprised.

At noon on the fifth day of the first lunar month, there was chaos and noise outside the city, and it seemed that there were thousands of troops and horses rushing to Yangzhou City. Goshawk urgently gathered men and horses and went out of the city to meet the battle.

It was the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty who arrived in Yangzhou and shouted under the city gate, followed by a bloody battle.

Swords and swords, iron trees and silver flowers, eight hundred miles of fighting. The red tassel steel gun, the crescent moon broadsword, how many good years.

Guo Xiaoxiao was eating food made by Anan in the secret room, when someone suddenly broke into the door.

Guo Xiaoxiao stood up in shock, and when he looked at the pretend, he knew that it was a widow. Anan was held in their hands, and Guo Xiaoxiao shouted: "Let go of her!" ”

"Miss, I'm sorry, if I hadn't gone out to buy food, I wouldn't have been arrested." Anan is sorry.

Guo Xiaoxiao knew that it was the Japanese who saw the time when Anan came back, and specially waited for the rabbit here. The insidious tricks of others, Anan is simple by nature, how could he have expected it!

"Hmph." Long Chuan appeared in front of Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, "You can't protect yourself, and you still protect others." ”

"You're going to arrest me, I'll go with you, you let her go."

"Do you think you have the conditions to negotiate with us?" Long Chuan's tone was very contemptuous, "You really think that the king loves you, right?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was in a hurry, grabbed the lampstand on the desk, pulled out the candle on his head, and pressed the sharp side against his neck.

"If you don't let her go, I'll die before you."

"Okay, I don't have to do it." Long Chuan stood in front of Guo Xiaoxiao with his chest crossed.

"Hmph, I'm dead, you probably can't explain it. If the goshawk wanted to kill me, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now? ”

Although Guo Xiaoxiao is not sure at all when he says this, he must show that he will win, so that the Japanese will be afraid. The more cowardly one is in front of the enemy, the easier it is to be captured.

"Don't you value your life very much?" Long Chuan's smile faded away.

It turned out that they didn't dare to kill her, let alone let her die. Long Chuan's performance confirmed Guo Xiaoxiao's conjecture, so Guo Xiaoxiao had a bargaining chip.

"Let her go, and I'll go with you. If you have to entangle me, I'll kill myself!" Guo Xiaoxiao said and poked the lampstand hard at his neck, and a line of blood flowed down.

"Don't!" Long Chuan blurted out, "Count you ruthless!" ”

Then he waved his hand and asked the guards to let Anan go.

"Anan, let's go!" Guo Xiaoxiao roared, "Save your life, we will meet again." ”

"Miss!"

"Let's go! Don't hesitate. ”

Anan turned his head and left in pain, walked through the inner hall, walked out of the yamen, and only took a few steps into the alley when he was shot by an arrow. Anan spat blood from his mouth, and slowly looked back, only to see the goshawk slowly lowering his bow and crossbow.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't know that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty had arrived in Yangzhou, thinking that it was controlled by the Japanese invaders. Long Chuan escorted Guo Xiaoxiao back to Changliju. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't see the goshawk and was closely guarded by Long Chuan.

The goshawk was very anxious, the Ming army had already attacked the city for two days, and more than half of the Japanese were killed and wounded. Goshawk lost three times in five battles, and finally used what he thought was a killer move.

The Ming army once again approached the city of Yangzhou, but the person who came was not the hussar general Chen Zhen.

The goshawk stood on the city gate, looked at the handsome young man sitting on the tall horse, and roared loudly: "Luo Xuan! Your own sister is now in my hands. ”

"Hahaha, you coward, you are really making up all kinds of lies when you are dying." Luo Xuan gently held the reins.

"Your sister was originally the great-granddaughter of Zhen Guogong. In the first year of Jiajing, Zhenguo Gong was dissatisfied with the new emperor's power, so he was deposed by Emperor Jiajing of your Ming Dynasty, took away military power, and was demoted to a concubine. Your Luo family also had to live incognito, endure humiliation and steal life. The goshawk's voice was sonorous and powerful.
