You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

Chapter 41 It's okay, a useless person in this palace dies when he dies
"The baggage train is on fire, hurry up, come and put out the fire!"

"The station! The station is also on fire! The princess and the adults are still inside!"

"Wake up everyone, there are bandits coming over there!"

……

A series of shouts came from outside the station, and the officials who were still asleep were awakened almost immediately.

Those who put on their clothes, those who pack up their things, no matter how hard they were bumped by the carriage a few days ago, they are all in high spirits now.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards who stayed in the inn and were responsible for protecting them responded very quickly. Almost as soon as they packed their things, they escorted them out of the room as planned and quickly assembled in the lobby downstairs.

At the same time, Feng Xi's room door was also pushed open by Qi Xiao.

The young man was dressed in black clothes, his black hair was tied up, and his facial features, which were originally sharp because of the light pupil, now added a sense of chilling.

"There is a safe cave six miles away, do you need me to escort you right away..."

From Qi Xiao's point of view, with such a big commotion outside, even a pig on the bed should be aware of the danger, right?
However, what he saw when he opened the door was Feng Xi lying peacefully on the bed. Not only did she not panic, she also tried to cover her eyes with the quilt to block the too bright fire outside the window.

Qi Xiao: "?"

Taking a deep breath, Qi Xiao managed to calm down and said, "Feng Xi, what I just said..."

As if she thought he was too noisy, Feng Xi finally said dullly in bed:

"Nonsense! If a useless person in this palace dies, he will die. However, several adults and imperial doctors are the pillars of the country. You can just escort them there, really."

Qi Xiao: "..."

At this moment, not only Qi Xiao's complexion was complicated, but the subordinates who accidentally listened to the door with their backs turned to the door were almost torn apart.

This is the princess?

The kind of big shot who values ​​his life like gold and can make many people lose their heads with just a slight bump?

Looking at the pillars of the country hurriedly wrapped in their robes and rushing downstairs, and thinking about what a certain princess said just now, they suddenly felt that this princess was quite bold...

Of course, you have to be very self-aware.

However, Qi Xiao inside the room had no time to lament anything else. He had just made a preliminary observation of the situation outside the inn.

Leaving aside the burnt baggage truck and the outer wall of the post station, one-third of the thousand-man guard they brought out from Shengjing suddenly raised their knives at their teammates.

Coupled with the menacing "bandits" in the distance, who were obviously using fire as a signal, the enemy's tactics this time were not small.

A Royal Forest Army and a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing. The two military forces that should have been firmly in the hands of the emperor have now made such a big mistake...

Obviously, the top ranks of the Yulin Army are not ironclad, and this situation will only be more serious in the big camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

It can be said that Qi Xiao didn't really understand the helplessness of his father and Emperor Sheng De until this moment.

Of course, his top priority now is not to trace the root cause, but to drag away the princess who is paralyzed on the bed and refuses to move.

So Feng Xi lay well, waiting for Qi Xiao to take advantage of the opportunity to retaliate and leave her "enemy" here. However, she found that Qi Xiao, who was standing by the door, suddenly appeared on her bed. forward.

Immediately afterwards, he was wrapped in a quilt, as if to carry it on his own shoulders.

Feng Xi: "?"

What about breaking off the hands and feet and throwing them off the cliff to be bitten by ten thousand snakes?
If you don't say you took the initiative to commit crimes, you will be passive and abandoned anyway!

Even if you think I'm not the original owner, can't you just look at this shell and feel disgusted, won't you let me be a troublemaker?
While Feng Xi slandered wildly in her heart, she took off the quilt that was wrapped around her body, and quickly put on all the coats that were thrown on the bed.

Although she wanted to "die", she didn't want to drag others down.

So she was finally taken out of the room by Qi Xiao, surrounded by tall human walls.

"Where's the princess? Why hasn't the princess come down yet?"

"There are so many bandits outside, I'm afraid we are going to die here this time..."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

……

In the lobby, all the adults looked anxiously at the battle situation outside the post station, seeing that not only was their side forced to retreat by bandits, but also traitors in the team hacked and wounded their own people from time to time, their faces were not too exciting.

Compared with their horror, Bai Yi, who was used to fighting, held Qi Zhuo by the hand, and looked very calm under the protection of Qin Zhui and his two subordinates.

"Pang Dao, tell me the truth, can our people still hold on to this station?"

Among the crowd, Mr. Li Ge, who was good at managing disasters and comforting people, asked with a calm expression, dragging his aching waist.

Hearing this, Pang Hua, the commander in charge of the [-] soldiers dispatched by the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head and said:

"There are more than a thousand bandits by visual inspection, and there are many traitors on our side. In addition, the water storage in the post station is limited, and the fire will continue to spread. I am afraid that tonight will be a disaster."

The man was burly in armor, with worry written all over his square face.

"In my opinion, we might as well escape from the backyard of the mountain and go straight to the mountain to find a way out."

Hearing Pang Hua's words, everyone's already ugly faces can only be described as pale.

Almost in the next second, many accompanying officials in the hall nodded and said:

"Pang Da is right, Mr. Ge, instead of staying here and waiting to die, we should fight for a way out from the back mountain!"

"That's right, these bandits may have come to intercept us for our luggage, as long as we leave our things here, they might not catch up!"

Under the persuasion of several small officials, Mr. Li Ge didn't speak, but Lin Qiandao, the servant of the household department, said:
"Mr. Li, what they said is not unreasonable..."

However, Lin Qian hadn't finished speaking the word "reason" when he saw Liu Wanshi, the servant of the Ministry of Industry who had always had a good relationship with him, say:

"It makes sense, there's a damn reason!"

Liu Wanshi is a rough man, and he speaks inhumanely:

"Don't tell me that you really think those are bandits? Are you still fleeing into the mountains? You want me to tell you that you should immediately send someone to break out of the encirclement for help, and ask Liangzhou to send reinforcements immediately!"

Lin Qian didn't seem to expect that he would be so excited, so she shut her mouth at that time.

As the only general here, Pang Hua suddenly said:
"Okay everyone, what's the point of us expressing our opinions here? Doesn't it still have to be decided by the princess and the consort on how to do this? What if they have a way?"

Hearing this, the petty officials who were eager to escape laughed angrily. Not to mention them, even Mr. Li Ge and Liu Wanshi looked heavy and didn't know what to say.

How about the princess's consort making up her mind?
What time is this? Those two people haven't come down from the stairs yet!
Seeing the subtle expressions on these people's faces, Qin Zhui, who was standing aside, almost couldn't help it.

Fortunately, at this moment, Feng Xi was finally escorted downstairs by Qi Xiao and others. She said to Pang Hua with a standard smile of no embarrassment but mockery:
"Come here, drag him out to Ben Gong and chop him up."
