On the contrary, General Cai faked his military exploits and had conclusive evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so he was arrested and escorted back to Beijing.

Hearing that the big traitor was caught, Liu Paner was finally relieved, and looked forward to Li Baihu coming to drink.

Sure enough, a few days later, after the Northwest City calmed down, Li Baihu took a few brothers to the Jixiang Inn to drink.

Liu Pan'er was very happy, "Aunt, uncle, this is my life-saving benefactor Li Baihu." Li Baihu, this is my uncle and aunt, they are both diligent and good people. ”

Li Baihu smiled respectfully, "At home, Li Yuanqing, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou are good." ”

Others also greeted each other.

Aunt Liu greeted warmly, "You are all my niece's life-saving benefactors, Lao Zhou hurry up and take out your good wine, Dalang, let your daughter-in-law cook a few more good dishes, and entertain a few strong men today." ”

They opened their doors to do business, and they usually respected these soldiers. Now these people are still the life-saving benefactors of their nieces, and they should be treated well.

Zhou Zicheng personally entertained Li Yuanqing and others, and after a meal of wine and a meal, he was quite familiar.

Aunt Liu even inquired that Li Yuanqing was only seventeen this year and had not yet married. If you are handsome, you are a soldier, and you will go into battle to kill the enemy, and maybe one day you will be gone.

However, she is a person from the past, and it can be seen that her niece has a good impression of Li Yuanqing, and every time she looks at Li Yuanqing's eyes, they are very bright.

This is not her own daughter, and she doesn't dare to oppose it too much, so she can only comfort herself with her niece.

Since then, Liu Paner has been looking forward to Li Yuanqing coming over, and if she can't come for a long time, she will take advantage of the time to deliver the wine to find Li Yuanqing.

Come and go, mutual friendship.

It's just that before they could be together, the Northwest City fell.

After General Cai was caught, his remnants were still there, and he and the Xiyun Kingdom in the northwest city conspired to burn grain and grass, and opened the city gate to let the soldiers of Xiyun City outside the city enter the city.

Liu Paner followed her uncle and eldest cousin to Liangcheng next door to buy goods, not in the northwest city, so as not to encounter difficulties.

When they bought the goods and wanted to leave the city, the gate of Liangcheng was closed.

Zhou Zicheng panicked, and hurriedly took out a handful of money and gave it to the soldiers guarding the gate, "This lord, why did you suddenly close the city gate?" We've got the goods, and we're going out of town! ”

The soldier guarding the gate looked panicked, "Northwest City...... The Northwest City has fallen, and it has been slaughtered by those bastards of the Xiyun Kingdom. ”

Massacre of the city?

The simple two words represent that almost all the men, women, and children in the northwest city have been killed, and their money has been robbed.

Zhou Zicheng couldn't accept it for a while, his body shook, and he was about to faint.

Zhou Dalang hurriedly helped his father, "Dad, Dad, you have to cheer up." We find a way to get out of the city, let's go save our families. ”

Liu Pan'er was also pale with fright, "Uncle, the eldest cousin is right, you have to take care." Let's find a way to leave, even if we die, our family will die together. ”

The soldiers guarding the door were also very sympathetic to Liu Paner and the others, "I advise you not to go back, you are just ordinary people, can you beat those barbarians of Xiyun Kingdom?" ”

"Those people were riding horses, coming and going, and they couldn't catch them. Now the above has ordered the city gate to be closed, and the whole city will be mobilized to protect Liangcheng, and the city gate will definitely not be opened for you. ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. You are also dead now, so it is better to wait for them to retreat, and then you will go back. ”

Zhou Zicheng's eyes were red, "Da Lang, you and Pan'er stay in Liangcheng, it can be regarded as a bloodline left by our Zhou family, I will go back by myself, die, and I will die with your mother." ”

Zhou Dalang shook his head, his eyes resolute, "Dad, let my cousin stay in Liangcheng, and I'll go back with you." What's the point of me living alone if you're gone? ”

Seeing this, Old Man Zhou also knew that his eldest son was stubborn, and once he decided, he would not change.

The eldest son was right, the whole family is dead, or what's the point!

Zhou Zicheng took out a purse and handed it to Liu Pan'er, "Pan'er, no matter how dangerous your cousin and I are, we have to go back." Don't go back, stay here, this silver is enough for you to buy a small yard here." ”

"You're a clever kid, and my uncle believes you can make a good living. Be obedient, stay here, and if this place can't hold on, you move on to other places. In short, live well. ”

The half year of living in Northwest City was Liu Paner's happiest and happiest year.

She has relatives, she can go out freely, and she encounters a lot of interesting things.

She likes Northwest City, she likes her aunt's family, and she thinks about Li Yuanqing, so she doesn't want to leave.

"Father-in-law, cousin, I can't go back to Sangcheng, there are you relatives in the Northwest City. If you're gone, I don't have any relatives, and I don't have anything to live in. ”

"Don't drive me, let me go back to the Northwest City with you, I know martial arts, I don't need you to protect me, maybe I can protect you and help you."

"Since we have to leave, it is not possible to go through the city gate, but when we get to the night, after spending money, it should be no problem for people to hang us down in hanging baskets."

After Zhou Zicheng heard Liu Pan'er's words, he couldn't say anything to drive Liu Pan'er away, and sighed, "You kid, if you go back with us, you may die." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled bitterly, "What about life?" Why be afraid of death? The world is so big, there is no place for it, and there are no people who are worried, it is sad. ”

"Brother Li is very good to me, I am in love with him, and I can't let him go, so uncle, this is all my own choice, and I won't blame anyone."

Zhou Dalang saw that Liu Pan'er was also going, and he no longer dissuaded him, "Dad, our carriage can't get out, now let's sell all the things we bought, as well as the carriage, and exchange them for silver and carry them with us." ”

Liu Pan'er thought for a while, and also said: "Along the way, I may not be able to buy food, I will go buy some dry food and shoes, by the way, and a few sharp knives, we may need weapons on the way." ”

Zhou Zicheng nodded, "Okay, let's go our separate ways." Dalang, you go buy a knife; Pan'er, you go buy dry food and shoes; I'm going to sell them all. ”

"Yes, Dad." Zhou Dalang should go down.

"Yes, uncle."

Liu Paner bought a large bag of steamed buns, as well as a bamboo tube of pickles and a large bag of oil noodle tea, and also bought a small iron pot, three wooden bowls and spoons, and a few fire folds.

After passing through the pharmacy, she bought ten bottles of gold sore medicine, in addition to clean gauze.

Seeing that there was lime powder, Liu Paner asked the medicine boy to pack some lime, divided it into ten small packets, and packed them separately.

After buying these, I went through the shop where I bought shoes, and I bought six more pairs of shoes, which was enough for three people to wear.

I was in a hurry at night, and it was very cold, so Liu Paner bought three more leather jackets and wore warm ones.

After buying some, Liu Paner hung several large bags on her body and returned to the North City Gate.

At this time, Zhou Zicheng had already sold the carriage and the things on the carriage and exchanged it for silver, and he also bought a lot of dry food to bring.

Zhou Dalang bought three sharp knives, as well as a dagger that could be tied to his calf.

In the evening they paid the defenders of the city for fifteen taels of silver, and carried them down in baskets.
