On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 325 War 6
The team that followed consisted of eight people wearing rebel robes, 'escorting' the woman and the package forward.

Of course, Boss Xiao walked beside his daughter and asked worriedly: "Did something happen to you over there? If the house is not safe, can you still get your dowry back?"

Thinking of his daughter's gold, silver and jewelry, he couldn't wait to go back to the general's mansion and move them all.

"Dad," Xiao Xiao leaned close to him and whispered, "The money has been buried a long time ago, that is, cloth, furniture and so on."

Then he changed the subject: "Dad, why did you come here? Is everything okay at our house?"

Xiao Boss heard that his daughter's loss was not big, and his heart no longer hurt: "It was your eldest brother-in-law who heard the news from his brother, so we came to find you."

Then he pointed at another young man: "Your eldest sister and brother-in-law are worried about you, so they asked Hou Er to follow you."

The second guard and servant next to Jiang Yu finally found the opportunity to speak: "Third girl, do we still want to go back to the general's mansion?"

Hou Er didn't really want to go back, he just wanted to inquire about the situation there.

After all, the distance between the General's Mansion and the Jin'an Prince's Mansion is not far.

"You can't go back. If you go back, you will fall into a trap." Xiao Xiao glanced at him: "I will talk to my eldest brother-in-law when I get back."

She knew what Hou Er was concerned about, but King Jin'an ran away in a panic, so it was better not to talk about it outside.

From the General's Mansion back to Xiao's house, in the past, it only took about twenty minutes to get there with a cup of tea by carriage, which was really not that far.

But now, they are all walking.

And for the sake of safety, they couldn't walk in a straight line. They were afraid that they would encounter too many rebels who would question them, so they could only hide and go in twists and turns.

The good news is that most of the rebels are at the General's Mansion, and Xiao Xiao and the others have managed to break through the defense line and run out.

The bad news is, there are rebels out there, too.

They met three times.

Fortunately, the Xiao family looked like they were returning home with a full load at the moment, making their 'companions' envious and jealous.

Hearing Boss Xiao say that he was anxious to go back for business, he didn't say much.

As for speaking Mandarin, that's normal. The pronunciation is different, the customs are different, and the soldiers couldn't come from the same place. So they can only speak Mandarin.

As for Aunt Mo and the others, they had been frightened too much tonight, and now their whole bodies were weak and they couldn't walk fast at all.

And since she was a housewife and the general's concubine, she didn't want the guards or other men to carry her on their backs, so Xiao Xiao had no choice but to help her walk.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao could only be grateful that he was strong, otherwise he would be worried that he would not be able to reach home until dawn.

However, Xiao Xiao had good eyesight and soon saw a car driving.

The horse he was pulling had been killed and fell to the ground.

She quickly asked her father and others to separate the dead horse from the chariot, let Aunt Mo sit on it, and then let everyone pull the chariot away.

Boss Xiao felt sorry for his daughter: "San'er, you come up and sit too."

Xiao Xiao refused: "No, I can still leave."

When sitting in a car, it is difficult to run away in an unexpected situation.

She still prefers to walk steadily, and she can also see and listen in all directions.

Aunt Mo was very scrupulous, but the maids and women below her were not so particular and let the guards and the men from Xujiacun here help her move forward.

If you encounter rebels, your support will become a 'capture'.

When they arrived at the door of Xiao's house, Xiao Sanlang had been sitting on the wooden ladder. When he saw them coming back, he quickly asked his grandparents to open the door. After people came in, the door quickly closed.

It was only around three o'clock in the morning. Xiao Xiao first arranged for Aunt Mo to stay in the guest room, and then asked the maids and women to crowd into one room.

After arranging two guards and two men from Xutian Village to guard the front, the remaining people went to rest.

The Xiao family members all gathered together to talk.

Madam Xiao felt very regretful: "Hey, if I had known earlier, I should have listened to San'er and left a few days earlier, and I wouldn't have encountered such a terrible thing."

Old Man Xiao glanced sideways at his wife who was telling the truth, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Fortunately, we didn't leave early, otherwise the three girls would be left, and we wouldn't be able to help."

He has long understood that the third girl in the Xiao family is the smartest and smartest. If she were the grandson, she would either be a high official or rich.

Even though the little granddaughter got married, she never forgot about her parents' family. Last time she noticed something was wrong and hurriedly came back to remind them.

Boss Xiao asked: "San'er, tell me, what should we do now? Should we go back to the countryside, or find a place to hide?"

Jiang Yu also looked worried: "I wonder if the prince can regain the city as soon as possible?"

"Your Majesty, they all ran away." Xiao Xiao first told the news he knew: "There are many rebels in the General's Palace and the Prince's Palace."

"But I'm more worried. These rebels are just the vanguard, and there are troops coming from behind."

"They may have arrested many family members of civil and military officials. I am worried that the city is not safe."

Wu took a breath: "Then we have to escape quickly."

Xiao Sanlang also showed off what he had just learned in private school: "Thirty-six strategies are the best."

Xiao Xiao could only smile bitterly: "Yes, we can only leave here first."

"Eldest brother-in-law, third sister," Xiao Erlang looked at her and asked, "Which way do you think we should go from?"

Jiang Yu said: "I heard that the fighting in the south is fierce. The west is too far and it is inconvenient. How about we go east or north?"

Xiao Xiao also had no objection: "My mother-in-law also asked us to meet them at Zhuangzi outside the North City Gate."

Xiao Xiao was not really filial and regarded her mother-in-law's words as an imperial edict.

She was purely interested in the guards around Mrs. Li and the carriages and horses on Zhuangzi.

In the current situation, the only option is to blend in with the fleeing people. If there are too many cars and horses and attract the attention of the rebels, they may be caught before they even leave the city.

She looked at Boss Xiao: "Dad, let's find a way to find out some information tomorrow. It will attract attention. Try not to get in the carriage."

"I know." Boss Xiao patted his armor, which was still stained with mud and blood: "If I go out wearing this, I won't attract attention."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she stood up and called to Mrs. Wu: "Follow me to the kitchen. We will make more steamed buns and pancakes."

Wu was a little reluctant: "Aren't Xuan'er and the others already busy in the kitchen?"

"Thank you for having the nerve to say it." Mrs. Xiao glared at her: "With so many people in the family, can the sisters be busy?"

Mrs. Liu also stood up: "Mom, I'm going to help too."

"No, you go back and take my eldest grandson, so that the child won't be frightened and cry when he wakes up and doesn't see anyone." Mrs. Xiao warned again: "Remember to pack some of Bao'er's thick clothes."

Boss Xiao also urged Jiang Yu to go back: "Okay, you also go back and have a good talk with Xiu'er, and squint for a while. Let's go out to find out the news in an hour."

Fortunately, the eldest son-in-law is here, and Hou Er is also smart and can help him find out information and make decisions.
