"No, we're with my mother, no matter what happens, we're all together!" No one expected that when he heard Lin Shuran say these words to Honggu, the first person to speak out in a hurry would be Lao Shi Xu Mingsheng, who ran to Lin Shuran, hugged her body suddenly, and said with a crying voice.

Immediately afterwards, several children of the Xu family strongly expressed that they would stay with Lin Shuran in life and death, and Xu Minghao clenched his fists and said: "Mother, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you!" ”

The children of the Xu family have not fully understood what will happen tonight, but looking at the expressions of Lin Shuran, Honggu and others, they feel that something unusual will happen tonight, and it will be very dangerous, and it will even affect their lives, but as long as they are with Lin Shuran and their families, they are not afraid.

"My weapons are ready, mother, I and the sixth and seventh brothers will protect you, you are all waiting behind us!" No one paid attention, Xu Mingxuan actually took out two daggers and a short knife from his body, and gave them to Xu Minghao and Xu Mingzhou respectively, and then the three of them automatically walked to the door and stood still, staring out without any fear, with a desperate fighting posture.

"And me!" At this time, the fourth Xu Mingfan also walked firmly to the three younger brothers, how could he, as an elder brother, hide behind his younger brothers at this time, even if his physical strength and martial arts are not as strong as those of his younger brothers, but he can't do anything, he can also use his body to protect the family behind him.

"And me, and me!" The rest of the little ones were not to be outdone and walked towards the brothers, they didn't understand why the brothers were standing guard at the door, but they could feel the protective atmosphere, so they naturally wanted to join in.

Seeing the children scrambling to protect their families, Lin Shuran's eyes instantly turned red, she pulled them back one by one with a smile, and then said to them: "Things may not be as bad as I imagined, I'm just worried that if something critical happens, let Honggu and Lingqin escort you away first, I'm an adult, I can always think of a way to protect myself, you are my brother, and you will help me guard my little sister when the time comes!" Nothing may happen tonight, don't worry, our family will be together anyway, we don't need your protection now, in case a bad guy comes, we just don't add to the chaos, understand? ”

"yes, I see!" Several children of the Xu family nodded, they are no longer the children who only made trouble before, under the teaching and influence of Lin Shuran, they have learned a lot of skills, and they have learned to think, and they understand that the current situation is not to cause trouble for Lin Shuran and them.

So, Xu Minghao and the others gathered around Xu Manman's crib again, and at the same time their eyes watched vigilantly, and their ears listened to the movements around them at any time, just like Lin Shuran said, in case of bad people, they want to protect their little sister, and they must not let outsiders hurt Xu Manman.

At this time, Xu Manman was sleeping sweetly in the crib, and the bodies of her brothers blocked the cold winter wind for her, making the corners of her mouth show a curved and lovely smile, and she was always intoxicated with her dreams.

The north wind was blowing, and the biting cold wind came in through the gap in the thick door curtain, and it was getting late at this time, Lin Shuran wanted to coax several children to the bed to sleep, but they were all full of energy, and they only stayed by Xu Manman's crib, and they didn't even touch their favorite snacks on the table next to them.

At this moment, many people in the capital couldn't sleep peacefully, and it should have been the quietest night, but it was faintly restless.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose again, and in the dark night, the direction of the north of the city was the color of fire, followed by the south of the city, the west of the city, and the north of the city, and for a while the entire imperial city seemed to be in a shining firelight.

With this firelight came the shouting and killing sound of the wind from far and near and the smell of blood, and in an instant the dogs of the entire capital began to bark as if they were frightened, and the barking of "Wangwang" broke through the shackles of darkness and rushed into the hearts of every sober person, which inexplicably added an eerie horror to this solemn night.

Lin Shuran listened carefully to the sound outside, she seemed to hear the sound of neat and orderly footsteps, the firelight from all sides looked very close, but if she looked closely, it seemed to be a long distance from the capital, since the city gate was closed, the number of patrol soldiers in the city was doubled, and it seems that there is no chaos in the city at present.

Soon, Mei also sent the news from the outside in time, the sky-high fires are from outside the Sifang City Gate, tonight those people with different intentions were going to rebel like the King of Yue, but they were all killed and eliminated by the hidden dragon armor guards, among which the Qing prince who secretly guarded the north city gate was the Qing prince, the south gate was Lei Zhanpeng, the west gate was Wei Ying, and the east gate was the current emperor Zhao You.

"What? The emperor personally led his troops to kill the rebels? Lin Shuran was shocked when he heard this, he never expected that Emperor Zhao You would personally go to guard the city gate tonight, this is too dangerous and too bold, if the rebels succeed, then the Jin Dynasty will not be in chaos.

Mei then told Lin Shuran that there were 50,000 dragon guards hidden in each of the four city gates, and the emperor personally led his own guards to wait for the rebel enemy at the city gate, and then cut the other party under the horse with a sword.

Lin Shuran calculated, if there were 50,000 dragon armor guards at the four city gates, then there would be 200,000 dragon armor guards in the capital, how could there be so many at once? No wonder her father was so confident in what she said before, it seems that the emperor really has a greater reliance, he does not only have 100,000 dragon armor guards, but 200,000, no, or more than 200,000, so the emperor is not afraid that the generals stationed at the Sifang City Gate will rebel.

"It seems that the rebels will not be able to enter the city!" Honggu finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to what Mei said, she had already thought of the worst outcome tonight, and even asked Mei to inform everyone in Beiqiao Yaxing that once there was a rebellion in the city, she would escort the people of the General's Mansion to leave safely as soon as possible.

At the same time, Honggu also thought of what her stepfather Gao Lun said when he left, he said that he had already informed the emperor of the real spies, so did the emperor listen to his father-in-law and be prepared, so that the plan of those rebels did not succeed, and it was likely that the emperor would be wiped out tonight? Now that her father-in-law is not in the capital, she can't ask an answer for the time being.

Either way, the real danger seemed to have passed, but tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, for the light of the fire had not yet completely disappeared, and still lit the night red.
