Chapter 369: Circumstance
The middle-aged man in blue standing at the front held a short knife in one hand and grabbed the collar of the little girl Zhou Xuejun with the other, and was about to pull her out of the door and take her away.
He was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. At this age, she is dressed decently, and most of them are the daughters of the Zhou family who came to the courtyard to attend the small banquet today, there is no threat, and she can make a pair of hostages with Thursday's daughter. When the daughter of the Tang family came, they took these three young ladies with them, plus the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the Wu family, and it was expected that the Zhou family and the Tang family would not dare to stop them anymore. If the Zhou and Tang families are stubborn and have to prevent them from leaving the city, then kill a girl to deter each other. Anyway, they have five hostages in their hands, which is enough to fight their way out of the encirclement.
This thought flashed through the middle-aged man in blue, and his left hand continued to go forward to grab Zhou Xuejun's collar, but unexpectedly, the figure of the girl in the door flashed, and she appeared by the door, grabbed Zhou Xuejun's belt, and the next second, a black shadow hit his eyes.
He didn't know what it was, but when he heard the fierce wind, he still subconsciously bent down and squatted down to avoid it, and with a flower in front of him, Zhou Xuejun had already asked the girl to drag the girl back to the door, and then the half-opened door was also slammed shut. The middle-aged man in blue hurriedly rushed forward to bang on the door, but the sound of the door bolt was already heard from the door.
The middle-aged man in blue couldn't help but curse.
The begonia in the door let out a long sigh, and hurriedly checked the door bolt to make sure that it was strong enough, before turning back to check Zhou Xuejun's condition.
Zhou Xuejun's placket and skirt were full of wrinkles and dust, the collar was crooked, and the belt was loose, which was quite embarrassing, but fortunately, she didn't look badly injured.
The little girl was very strong, she was so frightened, she didn't shed tears, and she could calmly tell Haitang: "Sister Hai, I'm fine, you go and tell the big sister quickly, and ask her to call all the guards in the other courtyard." The man in the gatehouse was knocked down, and I don't know if he was dead. This group of people are all outlaws, and they have also kidnapped Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter, and the people of our family will suffer if they are restrained......"
As soon as Zhou Xuejun's words fell, the middle-aged man in blue shouted outside the door: "That's right! We have the daughters of the Wu family in our hands, obediently open the door for me and let us in, otherwise we will kill all the women of the Wu family! ”
Haitang snorted and raised his voice: "If you want to kill, kill it, I am neither surnamed Wu nor Zhou, do I care if the women of the Wu family are dead or alive?" There are so many women in this house, can I still put you outlaws in the door to kill people and set fire to two unrelated people?! ”
The man outside the door cursed again, and then a long dagger came through the crack in the door, trying to move the deadbolt bit by bit.
Begonia hurriedly rushed to the door and pushed the bolt of the dagger back to its original place. But this is not a long-term solution, and the people outside the door will not give up moving the deadbolt with their daggers, and if no one is watching, it will not be long before they will succeed.
Haitang quickly turned back to Zhou Xuejun and said, "Come in and call someone." I'm here to watch. ”
Zhou Xuejun stood up and gritted his teeth. She knew that now was not the time to be verbose, so she decisively turned her head and ran. I don't know if it was because she just fell, she ran very hard and limped.
Haitang couldn't care about her anymore, turned her head and continued to push the crooked door bolt back to its original place, while whirring around with the people shouting outside the door: "Who are you?" Dare to kidnap the daughter of the Zhou family in Chang'an City, what a bear heart and leopard gall is really eaten? ! Whoever dares to do this...... Could it be that he is a spy of the Hu people?! ”
She picked up a nearby stone just in case, and raised her voice a little higher: "Mrs. Gui, Miss Wu, if you are held hostage by the Hu people's spies, don't be afraid. Wu Wen'an Gong is watching you in the spirit of heaven! Even if you sacrifice your lives for the country today, you are adding luster to the name of the Wu family. The Wu family will remember you, and the people of Dachu will also remember you! ”
Mrs. Gui outside the door was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Wu Qiong, who was also threatened by a dagger behind her, cried directly: "Mother......"
The middle-aged man in blue was tingling when he heard it. He heard it, the girl who saved people in the door was so vicious. He didn't believe that she didn't know who they were, but he still set their identities as nonsense spies.
If the Hu people are spies, then in the territory of Dachu, everyone will naturally be punished, even if they leave Chang'an City, there will still be a large army to chase and suppress them, even if the companions of the Sun family have the heart to help, they must also consider avoiding suspicion. And the Zhou family and the Tang family, as the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, could not make any transactions with them for any hostages. Even if the mother and daughter of the Wu family die in their hands, the Zhou family will not give in.
But even if the middle-aged man in blue knows Haitang's "sinister intentions", does he dare to tell his true identity? Why did the people of the Sun family kidnap the daughters of the Zhou family and the Wu family in Chang'an City? There are some things that even if everyone knows about them, they can't be put on the table......
The middle-aged man in blue knew that it was pointless for him to argue with this girl any longer, and he heard the sound of mixed footsteps coming from inside the door, as if there were many people in the house running in the direction of the gate, he immediately made a decision, drew a dagger, and turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Let's go!" Go and catch the kid of the Jin family, and go out of the city immediately! ”
Everyone immediately pulled Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter back into the carriage, kicked away the people who were blocking the road on the ground, and drove the carriage to quickly turn around and leave.
The gate of the courtyard was reopened, and many people rushed out, chasing the carriage all the way, and two of them fell last with knives, and turned back to fight with the pursuers. The galloping carriage passed by a carriage that had just arrived at the intersection, and almost collided, and the coachman opened his mouth to curse, but was slashed by the man in the carriage opposite, and rolled off the wheel of the carriage to the ground in fright, and received a blow on the shoulder. The ladies in both carriages screamed in fright.
When the pursuers approached, the middle-aged man in blue simply pushed Mrs. Gui off the carriage, let her roll to the ground, blocking the way of the pursuers, and he personally drove the carriage away quickly.
Mrs. Gui rolled on the ground a few times, full of embarrassment, but she didn't care about her appearance, so she panicked and hugged the legs of the Zhou family's soldiers who ran in front, and cried: "Don't chase!" Joan is in their hands! Stop chasing! ”
The Zhou family's personal soldiers were stopped by her, so they had to stop and look at each other.
Zhou Wenjun arrived one step later, and when he saw this situation, he was so angry that he scolded: "If you weren't running around outside, how could this happen?!" ”
Mrs. Gui cried so much that her makeup was spent, and her legs were injured, and she couldn't even climb up, but she still grabbed Zhou Wenjun's skirt and stopped her from chasing her: "Can't chase!" Those are outlaws! I'm going to kill Joan! ”
Zhou Wenjun smiled angrily: "If we don't chase it, will they let Wu Qiong go?!" Can you tell the difference?! ”
Haitang rushed over with a whip: "Hurry up and let someone go and inform Zhen Guogong and General Tang." The group of people just now must have been the ones who escaped the night before. They wanted to escape from the city, so they came to arrest the Zhou family and the Tang family's daughters as hostages. ”
Zhou Wenjun was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around to call someone.
Mrs. Gui looked up at Haitang, she had already recognized the person, and said through gritted teeth: "You are talking nonsense in the door, right?" You're ......"
Haitang didn't wait for her to finish, and then interrupted her: "Where am I talking nonsense?" Xue Jun told me just now, what did you say to those gangsters? You brought them to another courtyard to arrest them, right? Don't excuse them for not being spies. So far, what difference does it make if the one who arrested you is a spy or not? It is a fact that the daughters of the Wu family took the initiative to betray their own people to the gangsters. Everyone in the world says that Wu Wen'an Gong is an example of loyalty, filial piety, and martyrdom, and if you act like this, you are also worthy of saying that you are a member of the Wu family? ! ”
Mrs. Gui's face turned white.
