On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 322 War 3
Aunt Mo's expression changed instantly when she saw this, she moved closer to Xiao Xiao and whispered: "I'll go with you later."

Now they have five words carved all over their bodies: I am a big fat sheep.

The first housekeeper also hurried in from outside, and his face darkened when he saw them: "Madam, Second Young Master, there are more and more rebels outside. Several families left in carriages. The target was too big, and they were all betrayed." The military company took the car."

Zhou asked anxiously: "Can we go east? Can we go meet the princess and the others?"

Most people think that it would be safer to follow the prince and princess.

Therefore, after Mrs. Zhou heard what her husband said earlier, she immediately said she wanted to find the princess.

After Mrs. Li heard what her son and daughter-in-law said, she was secretly happy. She felt lucky that her son had married the princess's niece and could now seek help.

Who would have thought that the situation outside is already so tense now.

"No." The butler spoke in a very urgent tone: "Madam, it's really too late. I asked the guards to drive the carriage away to attract the attention of the rebels. Madam, you can take the opportunity to sneak away quietly."

Mrs. Li looked at her son.

When Li Yuan came back, he had already encountered danger. He nodded heavily and looked at his aunts: "After the guards drive the carriage to divert the pursuers for us, we will leave separately. Third brother, you and Aunt Zhu and Aunt Yang Go to the left, let four guards escort you, and meet at Zhuangzi outside Fucheng."

"My mother and I will go to the right." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Why don't you, sister-in-law, come with us?"

He knew in his heart that more guards would definitely escort them away, and it would be safer to follow them.

People's hearts are inherently biased.

If he could, he wouldn't want anything to happen to his aunt or brother, but now that the situation was critical, he could only look at their own luck.

And he wanted to take Xiao Xiao with him now because Xiao Xiao had helped him a lot before.

Furthermore, he admired his eldest brother who could lead troops in war more than his younger brother who recited poems and wrote poems in the academy.

Now that his father and eldest brother are gone, he also wants to keep his sister-in-law, so that he can have an explanation when his eldest brother comes back.

"Thank you for your kindness, second brother." Xiao Xiao seemed to be in a state of confusion and choked up: "I, I have to go back to my parents' home. I can't leave my parents behind. Tomorrow we will meet you at Zhuangzi outside the city."

Mrs. Li and the others have a lot of people, a lot of luggage, and it's such a mess outside, so she definitely doesn't want to go with them.

To be honest, she wanted to go alone, that would be safer.

It's a pity that she is also greedy and can't bear to part with those crossbows and gold and silver jewelry.

Neither Mrs. Li nor Mrs. Zhou wanted Xiao Xiao to follow them. After hearing Xiao Xiao's words, they were secretly relieved.

Mrs. Li had a rare pleasant look: "It's rare for you to be filial. Then you can go with Aunt Mo later. More than thirty miles ahead from the North City Gate, you can see a patch of persimmon trees. Behind that is our Zhuangzi. We are in Zhuangzi Waiting for you here."

After saying that, he urged the housekeeper: "Hurry up and arrange for someone to drive away in a carriage."

She finally understood why her husband often said in the past that the battlefield was changing rapidly. Just for a moment, they could hear sharp cries at the second door. It really made her heart tremble and her legs tremble. soft.

The housekeeper responded and quickly went out to make arrangements.

Li Yuan also went out to investigate the situation.

There are two carriages in the general's mansion, which are used by the masters when they go out.

There are also two mule carts, which are used by the stewards when they go out to buy things, or are used by the stewards when they go out.

At this moment, they were all driven in all directions by the guards. Then Mrs. Li and the others who were hiding inside heard many people shouting from outside: "Quick, there are big fat sheep over there trying to run away, hurry up and stop them."

"Ahu, you lead people to chase..."

"Yes!"

After it became quiet outside, the guard quietly opened the door, only to find that there were still seven or eight people guarding the door.

The guards also noticed them, and they all drew their swords and threatened them loudly in Mandarin: "You are not allowed to come out. Everyone retreats in, or else they will be killed without mercy."

It's a pity that the guards not only didn't listen to the advice, but also liked to do the opposite. Everyone knew in their hearts that it was because they were short of manpower that they could only scare them.

If they didn't leave at this time, when the pursuers found out that they had been chasing alone and came back to see the culprit who made their trip in vain, they would definitely want to tear them into pieces.

A dozen guards rushed out and fought with them.

Li Yuan protected his own mother and did not forget to hold his daughter-in-law. Under the protection of the housekeeper and seven or eight guards, he rushed out first, followed by a dozen maids and women carrying packages.

Aunt Zhu, mother and son also ran in the other direction, followed only by a woman and two guards.

Xiao Xiao glanced at Aunt Yang who didn't follow her.

Aunt Yang simply took a few steps back and whispered with twinkling eyes: "Sister Mo, it's too dangerous outside, should we go back?"

"As long as we close the door tightly, it's possible to escape."

"Even if there are really rebels, the mansion is so big, they can still hide."

"Besides, we are not serious masters. Maybe they don't want to take a second look at us?"

Xiao Xiao felt that everyone had their own ambitions and would not force it, so he simply pulled Aunt Mo and said politely: "Aunt Yang, you can come with us."

Before she finished speaking, she pulled Aunt Mo and rushed out.

Staying would be equivalent to putting your life and death in the hands of others, but Xiao Xiao was still willing to fight.

Aunt Yang watched them run away and quickly went to close the door herself. She also scolded the maid behind her: "They are all dead. Why don't you hurry up and help?"

"I must stay in the mansion and wait for the general to come back." Aunt Yang was not really stupid. She took the opportunity to portray herself as an infatuated woman: "When the general comes back and sees us waiting for him in the mansion, he will definitely reward us. of."

She felt that it was too dangerous outside, and she was afraid of following Aunt Zhu. If she really encountered a rebel, she would not care about her, and might attract the rebel's attention to herself.

Therefore, she prefers to hide in the house, either in the rockery or in the woodshed.

Besides, after Xiao Xiao took Aunt Mo and ran away, she also found two guards following them.

And she also discovered that not only were there rebels surrounding the door of the General's Mansion of the Li family, but other homes were either surrounded by rebels, or the door was wide open, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard from inside.

They hadn't run a few steps when several rebels guarding the gate of Chang Shi's Mansion drew their swords and rushed over. They didn't forget to shout to their companions: "If anyone wants to run away, just the four of us will do it. Brother Wang, keep an eye on them."

"Young lady, you go first." The two guards looked at each other and prepared to rush forward to block the pursuers so that they could run away.

At this moment, in their hearts, they were already prepared that the wind would rustle and the water would become cold, and that the strong man would never return once he was gone.

Not only did Xiao Xiao not run away, but she rushed up to them panting. In their surprised and puzzled eyes, Xiao Xiao waved at them with both hands.
