This uneasiness is completely sober.

Lin Jiaruo raised her head from Huang Li's shoulder, and only then did she find that it was not only her and her mother who were going to Ciyin Hall, but the entire Jiqiu Courtyard was walking together, all with panic on their faces.

The girl Long Yujiao, who protected her father in order to repay her kindness, was also there, and followed her mother with a frosty face.

What is this for?

Lin Jiaruo was feeling a little panicked, and was held by Xu Jiaoning's hand, which was warm, soft, and firm, and gradually calmed her panic.

When I was about to arrive at Ciyin Hall, I met a group of masters and servants in the second room, who were also mighty, and they were all panicked.

The second aunt asked about the situation uneasily, and the two sisters also held hands rarely, as if they were drawing courage from each other.

Lin Jiaruo looked at the bottom of his heart and became anxious again, so he simply turned around and didn't look at them, but this time he turned around, he saw something even more disturbing.

"Mother, are those officers and soldiers?" Lin Jiaruo shook her mother's hand, and her tone was timid.

Lin Jiaruo pointed to the direction of Ciyin Hall, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by a group of black-armored sergeants, and not a single subordinate of Ciyin Hall saw it.

An exclamation from Sun came from the side, as if he was frightened.

"Mother, is Grandmother in there?" Lin Jiaruo asked uneasily.

Why are there all officers and soldiers here? Are they here to arrest people? Lin Jiaruo felt very scared.

"Your grandmother is inside, let's go inside, don't be afraid!" Her mother's calm and calm answer made her have a sense of courage from the bottom of her heart, struggled down from Huang Li's arms, took Xu Yaoning's hand, and nodded vigorously.

As soon as he took a step, a person walked out of the Ciyin Hall and stood out among the group of black-armored sergeants.

"Daddy!" Lin Jiaruo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but shout.

Even Xu Jiaoning subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the old and weak women and children of this family, Lin Shisheng, as the only adult male, whether he is reliable or not, is a pillar of existence.

Lin Shisheng walked towards them quickly, and when he walked to them, he hugged Lin Jiaruo, Lin Jiaruo took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his neck, showing a sweet smile, and there was no longer the panic just now.

Lin Shisheng also smiled when he looked at it, and nodded at the others: "The incident happened suddenly, let's go in first!" ”

The courtyard of Ciyin Hall was crowded with people, the two brothers of the Lin family and the two brothers of the Gan family, and in addition, there was a stranger.

After the ladies of the second and third rooms entered the courtyard, Lin Jiaruo was put back to her mother, and when she felt that Lin Shisheng was leaving, she reflexively grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Lin Shisheng turned around and squatted down, smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes for her, touched her head lovingly, and smiled at her: "Don't be afraid, Daddy will be back soon!" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded, reluctantly let go, and watched his father walk towards the stranger.

That person was about the same age as her uncle, and that pair of eyes obviously didn't fall on Lin Jiaruo, which also made her feel cold, but Lin Shisheng, who was stared at by him, was calm.

Lin Jiaruo looked at his father, feeling that he was both adoring and proud, and he forgot to be afraid for a while.

Seeing that Daddy had spoken a few words to the strange man, they left the Ciyin Hall together, as if to look for something.

"Sister Aruo!" Gan Mingcong didn't know when he moved to her side, holding his hands, a small chest, "Don't be afraid, I-"

"I'm not afraid!" Lin Jiaruo raised his head proudly, "Daddy will protect me!" ”

Gan Mingcong, who was blocked back for half a sentence, looked a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and decided to change the topic: "Do you know who those people are outside?" ”

Lin Jiaruo shook his head: "Daddy didn't say it!" ”

That's great! Gan Mingcong's spirits lifted.

"These are the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion, and the person just now is General Zhao, the deputy commander of the Shenwu Battalion. The Shenwu Battalion is the pro-army of Shenwu Hou Yanhuai, and it has always been the main force against Xirong. In this Shaoxing rebellion, the emperor asked the Marquis of Shenwu to lead an army of the Shenwu battalion to the south to quell the rebellion, and I heard that it only took two months to destroy the rebels! The little boy said with adoration on his face.

Lin Jiaruo was not infected by his emotions at all: "They went to fight the rebels, why did they come to our house?" "I don't think I'm a good person!

Gan Mingcong thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, so he could only say: "I heard that some rebels have mixed into Yuhang, they are cautious!" You see, they don't do much, they just look around to see if there are any bad people hiding in your house! ”

"We don't have bad people hiding in our house!" Lin Jiaruo was a little unhappy.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, it's possible that the bad guys are secretly hiding in your house-" Seeing Lin Jiaruo glaring at him even more angrily, Gan Mingcong hurriedly changed the topic, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll show you something fun!" ”

Lin Jiaruo was really diverted.

I saw Gan Mingcong stretch out his hands that had been holding them together and slowly let go-

Among the young man's hands together, there was a gray and white chick, looking at Lin Jiaruo with wet eyes, with curiosity about the whole world.

"Wow-" Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but exclaim softly, "What a cute bird!" She couldn't help but gently touch the fledgling's feathers, and it felt so wonderful to touch its warm and soft body.

Gan Mingcong saw that he liked Lin Jiaruo, and was very proud: "This is a yellow oriole young bird, look at its tail, is it a little yellow?" ”

Lin Jiaruo saw it, and sure enough, he nodded again and again in surprise, but immediately became worried again: "It's still so small, why did you catch it, its mother won't see it and be anxious!" ”

"I didn't catch it!" Gan Mingcong hurriedly denied it, "This is what I picked up under the laurel tree by the lake on the way I just came, and I didn't have time to put it back, so I brought it over first, and when we went out later, we will send it home together, okay?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Lin Jiaruo nodded happily.

"Then I'll play with you for a while!" Gan Mingcong generously handed the chick to Lin Jiaruo, and said again, "It shouldn't be able to fly yet, be careful, don't drop it on the ground!" ”

Lin Jiaruo agreed, and at the same time took the chick with a pious mood and held it in the palm of his hand, how to see how he liked it.

After a while, Lin Shisheng and General Zhao returned.

Lin Jiaruo looked at her father's calm expression, and breathed a sigh of relief, so she said, there are no bad people hiding in her house.

Just thinking like this, the general Zhao spoke.

"We received news that in the middle of last month, someone had seen traces of the remnants of the rebels in the mountain behind Yunlin Temple-" General Zhao's words instantly made everyone in the Lin family change their faces, "I heard that someone from your Lin family went to Yunlin Temple to offer incense in the middle of last month?" ”

"We just went to incense, and we didn't see any remnants of the rebels!" The first to come out and deny it was Sun, her face pale and her eyes full of panic.

General Zhao glanced at her and smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking, you really haven't seen anything suspicious-" He paused, then continued, "Injured man?" ”

Xu Jiaoning's heart was shocked, and she tried to maintain the expression on her face.
