Shu Blossoms

Chapter 9
The dark clouds covered the sun, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Except for the occasional sound of fighting from the front yard, the back yard was quieter.

It seems that some thieves are only guarding the door, and no one has broken in.

"Aro, where can I temporarily hide in the backyard?"

Zheng Wei pressed his throat and asked.

Arrow is a restless character. During dinner, he went back and forth to inquire about the post house, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

"The slaves heard that the firewood house is in the west, and usually put some sundries, and it is the closest to the stable."

Aro whispered back, and led the way lightly ahead.

Zheng Wei nodded, and A Qiao helped Old Madam Zheng to follow.

Liao Wennan supported Liu Weng and followed everyone behind.

Everyone else went to help, but they were the only old and weak women and children who couldn't help and would hold back, so they could only hide.

"You two go back and help Amu and the others. If you want to come here, there will be nothing wrong for the time being."

Mrs. Zheng said to the escort.

Seeing that the two were hesitant, she added: "If something happens to them, we still can't escape."

The two of them saluted and left.

About half an hour later, Zheng Yue and his group of ten or so hurried to the backyard.

There was a lot of movement among them, which alerted the two people outside the door, who broke into the door with their knives on their shoulders.

The two sides are about to fight.

Only hearing a loud 'bang', the whole earth trembled, the firewood room shook violently, and the dust on the beams fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked and looked back at Zheng Wei.

This movement was beyond Zheng Wei's expectations, she looked at Madam Zheng in a panic, "Grandma, Uncle Amu and the others."

"Amu and the others have their own good looks." Madam Zheng hugged her in her arms and comforted her softly.

The two guards looked at each other and saw the shock and anxiety in each other's eyes, and the knives in their hands slashed even more fiercely.

Mu San was the first to react and greeted him.

Except for the three princes of the Zheng family, the others were all caravan guards. Although they were good at it, they could deal with some thieves who robbed their homes, but it was very difficult to meet these real masters.

The three lords of the Zheng family played beautifully, but they had no actual combat experience, but they were injured after a few fights.

They worked together to barely suppress the two.

Billows of white smoke rose from the front yard in the dark, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

The crowd ran out of the woodshed.

Zheng Wei looked at the rising fire with a heavy heart, but she still misestimated the consequences of the explosion.

Fortunately, apart from the Liu family caravan and the Zheng family, there was no one else in the inn.In addition to the masters of the post house, most of the post house members were also unaffected in the backyard, otherwise the spread of the fire would inevitably bring disaster to innocent people.

At that time, what she thought was that the small post house should not store too much rice noodles.

But now the fire is afraid to burn the entire post house.

The suppressed two also saw the fire in the sky, they dared not fight, they found an opportunity to break free from the siege, and ran to the front yard.

"Leave here quickly" Zheng Yue shouted, "Let's leave here first, Amu and the others said they will be there later"

Everyone fled the inn, and after a gloomy night, it finally began to rain, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

The Yi Ding of the inn mostly lives in a nearby village. Today, he escaped from the dead and rushed home in the rain if he dared not stay.

Zheng Wei and the others did not dare to go far, they crowded into the pavilion a few miles away from the post house to shelter from the rain.

Looking from a distance, the red light in the sky was gradually fading, Amu and the others still did not come, and everyone was very anxious.

About the end of Mo Yin's time, the rain gradually decreased, Zheng Yue and the others suggested: "Auntie, you and Uncle Liu will take the children to Qingzhou City first, and I will stay and wait for Amu and the others."

"Second uncle, I'll stay with you," Zheng Kang said hurriedly.

"Me too" Zheng Cong hurriedly followed.

"Don't make trouble," Zheng Yue glared at the two of them and said to Mu San, "Brother Mu, can you leave one of you with me, and the others escort the old lady and them."

Just as Mu San was about to nod to agree, Madam Zheng vetoed: "It's too dangerous for the two of you to stay alone."

"Grandma, second uncle, Qingzhou is not very safe either."

Zheng Wei hugged Old Madam Zheng's arm and said softly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and soon understood.

The post house is in the south of Qingzhou City. No matter Dayan or Dawei, you must pass through Qingzhou City to get here.

It was attacked here, and Qingzhou City didn't know what was going on now.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Zheng Wei got up and looked, and could vaguely see a group of people galloping here.

Zheng Yue Mu San and the others were instantly alert, and drew out the knife to protect the girl behind them.

Soon, Zheng Kang recognized the person and jumped up happily, "He Li and the others"

Saying that, he and Zheng Cong ran up to meet him.

The crowd quickly followed.

He Li carefully carried a person on his back, and Zheng Kang hurried to help.

I saw that the injured person was covered in blood and blood, and when he got closer to take a closer look, he recognized that it was actually Amu.

"Quick, carry it to the carriage." Mrs. Zheng was shocked and hurriedly said.

"But there are other people injured," Zheng Yue also came to help.

"Only the leader came back seriously injured, everyone else."

He Li was a little choked up.

There were ten people who stayed in the inn tonight, and only five people came back.

Everyone has a lot of injuries, which are very tragic.

In such a tragic situation, everyone was silent for a while.

Mu Dahuang hurriedly showed Amu first, and then showed others to check.

"Amu must be treated quickly, but the medicinal materials are all left in the inn."

Mu Dahuang sighed.

Qingzhou was the closest, and Langya County in the south was three days' journey away. Obviously, Amu and the others couldn't last that long.

It seems that you have to go to Qingzhou City no matter what.

At the end of the time, they rushed to Qingzhou City, but at this time the city gate was still closed.

Something really happened in Qingzhou City!
Everyone couldn't come up with an idea for a while. If they forced their way into the city, they might be in danger even if they entered.But after this retreat, Amu couldn't last long.

In the end, Liu Weng suggested that Mu San took a few people to inquire about the situation of Qingzhou City first, and the others found a place to settle down temporarily.

He Li and the others found a small river nearby, and everyone temporarily settled here.Mrs. Zheng told A Qiao and A Luo to take care of A Mu. According to Mu Dahuang's instructions, she kept washing the scalded area with clean water.

Zheng Wei and Liao Wennan were not idle either, they helped He Li to bandage their wounds.

Everyone was busy, and no one spoke for a while.

Zheng Wei carefully cleaned He Li's wound, his eyes were full of tears, and his small mouth was tightly pursed.

He Li took out the carry-on medicine bottle from his arms, grinned hard, and pretended to be relaxed: "Thanks to grinding this little Panax notoginseng powder from Mu Dahuang yesterday, I didn't expect it to be used so quickly."

As he spoke, he bit the cork with his teeth and sprinkled it on the wound.

Zheng Wei grabbed the medicine bottle and spread it evenly on the wound, still saying nothing.

Seeing this, He Li sighed, "The girl is no more guilty. If you hadn't thought of this method wisely, I'm afraid all the brothers would have stayed in the inn tonight. The chief and we are all grateful to you!"

Zheng Wei looked up at He Li, his eyes couldn't help falling.

She wanted to say that it was her fault for not being thoughtful enough, maybe not if the plan were more detailed
But she couldn't say it again, and she couldn't help crying when she opened her mouth.
