Daughter of Hou's Mansion

The two aunts could clearly understand that in the current situation, blaming each other would no longer work. If you want to live in peace, it is best to listen to the little girl in front of you.

Seeing them like this, Qingluan felt a little comforted in her heart, if even they showed a hysterical need for her comfort, it would be too much of a headache.

Wei Xiner grabbed Qingluan, her palms were slightly wet with sweat, obviously her emotions fluctuated a lot: "Is it because of me?" Wei Xiner's voice was trembling, she was very aware of her appearance It blocked the eyes of many people, but those people didn't know that she didn't want to be trapped in the vortex of the harem at all.

Now that it's over, it doesn't matter if I encounter these dangerous things, but it also implicates Qingluan and the innocent people in the village.

In Wei Xiner's eyes, there was deep self-blame besides fear, Qingluan held her hand back and said, "Sister, don't think too much, the origins of those people are still unknown at present, maybe it's because of Weiyuan Hou's mansion. , so it is not certain who is involved, if those people are coming for me, do you want to blame me?"

"how could be?"

"That's it, so you are not allowed to leave me with the slightest bit of guilt. This has nothing to do with you." Qingluan said firmly.

Wei Xin'er bit her lip, nodded again and said, "Okay, I won't think about it, Luan'er, do you already have some idea for calling everyone here?"

"We don't have many people, and the area of ​​the village is also large. If we spread it out, we won't be able to take care of so many people. Now they don't know the serious situation outside, so we have to tell them well." Qingluan Said.

Wei Xiner is also smart, so she grabbed Qingluan and said: "Luaner, listen to me, the goal of gathering everyone together is too big, there are so many people outside, if we are still together, it will be easy to be confused." Once all the people have been wiped out, it is better to divide them into small groups and hide them in every corner of the village, so that even if they look for them, they will have to search for a long time, they are not as familiar with the situation in this village as we are.”

Qingluan fell silent after hearing Wei Xiner's words, thought for a while, and felt that Wei Xiner's words were not unreasonable. It's going to be a while.

There were about [-] people gathered outside, at least half of them were women. There were six maidservants and three wives brought out from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. There were five families in this village. There are only seven people in Zhuangli, and the rest are women and children.

However, the women in this village are used to rough work, and their strength is not inferior to ordinary men. Qingluan glanced at the situation in front of her and assessed the situation in front of her. Even hiding will be exposed at any time. 13acv.

Qingluan calmed down her nervous mood, glanced at the people gathered in the yard, and said immediately: "I have something very important to tell everyone, but everyone must not panic after hearing this, even if you want to cry Bear with me."

Qingluan's expression was very serious, and that condensed face made everyone's smiling faces nervous.

Wang Daming rubbed his hands together and said, "Girl, what are you trying to say?" After Qingluan and Wei Xin'er moved into the hot spring village, the people in the village were very nervous for a while, fearing that they would not serve well and offend the master. Happy.

But after getting along for a few days, they realized that they were completely overwhelmed. Although these two are delicate girls, they are not coquettish at all. One spends most of the time in the yard, and the other seems to be facing everything in the village. They are very interested, whether it is their Qinghetang or she follows her, she likes to go in and out of the kitchen, such an approachable master, they are naturally very happy to serve her.

And this was the first time the girl put on such a heavy face, which made Wang Daming's heart hang.

"The ladies must have noticed that there are more beggars wandering around Zhuangzi than in previous years." Qingluan's eyes fell on the women in the kitchen and the servants. If they hadn't mentioned it, she might not have paid attention, "But these People are not beggars."

As soon as Qingluan's words came out, the people below couldn't help but change their faces. If it's not a beggar, who is it?

As expected of being the head of the village, Wang Daming yelled at the people below: "Don't talk, listen to the master."

This voice made the yard quiet again.

"There are more than 200 people outside, I'm afraid it will be bad for our Zhuangzi." Qingluan said in a deep voice.

There was a strange silence in the yard, and everyone seemed to have not understood it. After a while, a trembling voice of a woman asked, "Girl, what do you mean by that?"

Qingluan glanced at her and said: "That's what you think, those people may attack Hot Spring Zhuangzi at night."

The woman said "ah", sat down on the ground, hugged her seven-year-old grandson and started crying.The other timid ones were affected by her, and their eyes were red.Even Wang Daming was dizzy, this catastrophe is the same, who would think of death if they are alive.

Qingluan took a deep breath, and couldn't help shouting: "Shut up, if you still want to live." Now those people may be watching outside, if everyone in this yard is crying Get up, and they will inevitably be alarmed.

Probably because her aura was too frightening, several women who wanted to cry aloud swallowed back their cries.

Wei Xin'er comforted softly at the side: "Don't cry, don't despair, if possible, the second girl and I hope everyone is safe, and we will do our best to keep you safe." Her voice was like water Gentle, very calming effect.

Qingluan glanced at her, from today's point of view, Sister Xin'er is not a worthless person, on the contrary, she is very smart, she will think that everyone can't get together to avoid being exposed because the goal is too big, she Will cooperate with her to sing the white face to appease everyone's mind.She should be able to keep herself safe when she enters the palace like this, right?

At this time, Wang Daming recovered from his fear, glanced at the other families, and then at the daughter-in-law and their eight-year-old daughter. If possible, he also hoped that he could protect his daughter-in-law and daughter.

Wang Daming took a deep breath and said, "Girl, tell me, we will listen to you how you want us to cooperate."

The heads of several other families also realized that although these two were masters, they were only girls in their teens. It would be a joke if they didn't have the calmness of the girls.

"Yes, Brother Wang is right. The slaves have nothing else but a lot of strength. If those people really fight in, one iron catalpa will kill one and kill a pair, which is a profit." Li Daniu's big man patted his chest and said.

What Qingluan wanted was his kind of aura, and he gave him an approving look, until he blushed at this big man who was only 16 years old.

"What nonsense, girl, the slave's son is stupid, don't listen to his nonsense." At the same time, Li Dazhu patted his son on the back, and his son knew that this kid was always stupid and impulsive. Those children who are younger than him can deceive him around, because they don't trust his stupidity, so Li Tiezhu only let him stay in this village, and never tried to send him back to Weiyuanhou's mansion to seek a job. I'm afraid that this foolish boy will be deceived to the point where there will be no scum left.

Qingluan asked Li Daniu directly: "What's your name?"

In Li Daniu's eyes, these two girls who came to Beijing are like fairies in the sky. Although sometimes he would see Qingluan from a distance, he never dared to go forward, lest he would be intimidated by his vulgarity. To the mind of the fairy.

Qingluan's question made him stunned for a moment, his heart agitated, the fairy talked to him, the fairy talked to him, he was not dreaming.

Seeing his son acting stupid again, Li Tiezhu twisted his waist fiercely, until Li Daniu gasped in pain, and then the word "Li Daniu" popped out of his mouth.

Qingluan was teased by their performance like playing tricks. Li Daniu saw that Qingluan was not only not angry but also laughed, so he scratched the back of his head and giggled. The originally heavy atmosphere in the yard relaxed a lot.

Qingluan praised: "You are very good, you are right, even if there are far more people outside than us, we can't just sit in the room and wait to die, I have tried to pass the news out, If the people in Beijing get the news, they will rush back to rescue as quickly as possible, as long as we support them, we will be safe."

Qingluan's composure really lifted a large part of the people out of despair, and everyone's eyes fell on Qingluan, with incomparable trust and support.Looking at the earnest gazes of these people, Qingluan suddenly felt a strong force in her heart. Those words were originally only used by her to appease everyone's emotions, but at this moment, she seemed to be comforted even by herself.

"Uncle Wang, now you lead a few other people to the yard where I live, and listen to Captain Ai Qi's orders." Qingluan pointed to the men in the yard and said.

Now their manpower is really limited, and they must be used to the best of their ability.

"Several ladies, listen up. Everyone is staying in this yard now. Think about the hidden places in this village that are not easy to be found. I will divide you into several groups and hide separately later. , and you must appease your children, and don't let yourself expose your target because of them." Qingluan's eyes swept over the women and children in a yard.

Wang Daming's daughter-in-law responded repeatedly, and then said: "By the way, don't we still have those iron traps for catching animals in our house? Take them out and put them at the bottom of those walls. How many can be hurt?" It's like nothing.

There was also that courageous woman who nodded and said: "That's right, girl, do you see?"

Seeing everyone like this, Qingluan nodded and said: "Sure, you go back to the house first to see if there is anything available at home, just keep it quiet."

After she finished giving her orders, all the people in the courtyard disappeared, leaving only a few maidservants who came with her from Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

After a while, Bai Tian came here again and asked Qingluan to gather the embroidery needles of the residents and maids, and gave them a few packs of medicine to boil with those embroidery needles, so that those maids would have work to do, so that they would not Stay in the yard cranky.

There are several mountains not far from this village. Wang Daming and almost everyone in the village go up to the mountains to hunt prey to subsidize their families from time to time. There are really many useful things in this house, such as traps, bows and arrows, spears and so on. There are quite a few.After everything was arranged properly, the sky began to darken. Qingluan ordered the kitchen staff to still cook dinner according to their usual habits, but none of them ate it, so as to prevent those people from adding medicine to their food. Eat a few pieces of pastry to pad your stomach.

Afterwards, Qingluan divided the people in Zhuangzi into several groups. The strong men, women and children were equally distributed, while she and Wei Xin'er changed into the clothes of the Zhuangzi and mixed in the crowd.Xiaoqing and Xia Zhi insisted on arguing to put on their clothes, thinking that even if they couldn't resist in the end, it would be better if something happened to their two servant girls than something happened to Qingluan and Wei Xiner.

In the end, she was severely reprimanded by Qingluan. The people in this village had only been together for a few days, and she tried every means to keep them safe. What's more, Xia Zhi, the maid who had been with her for so many years, how could she May let her do such a dangerous thing.Of course, Wei Xiner disagreed with Xiaoqing, and the two of them agreed with red eyes after being severely scolded.

"During the daytime, after they come in, you will set fire to the rooms in the kitchen area. Although there is a distance between the other courtyards here, if the flames reach the sky, it will definitely serve as a warning." Qingluan I have been thinking about how to get out of trouble almost all afternoon, but it is really not easy to protect so many people. This is not Shangjing. If there is a slight disturbance, the neighbors will be alarmed. If you want to warn, it must be a fire , so Qingluan thought for a while that only the independent house in the kitchen is the most suitable, and now he can't control the loss or not, the most important thing is to save his life.

"Okay, now everyone hides according to what we discussed before." Qingluan clapped her hands, her face grave.

Behind her are Li Tiezhu's family and two servant girls, Xia Zhi and Qiao'er. Seeing this, Qingluan waved her hand and said, "Bai Tian, ​​you are with Captain Ai and the others." It's a waste, she should cooperate with Captain Ai and the others.

"But?" Her mission was to protect Qingluan's safety.

"No, but, if you regard me as your master, then listen to me." Qingluan said with a straight face.

Only then did Bai Zhou nodded heavily.

Qingluan looked at several guards of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, one of them had his eyes full, even though he was about to face a life-and-death test, none of them refused.

"Captain Ai, you should be careful too." Qingluan finally ordered, and then went out with the others. The place where they hid was the cellar behind Zhuangzi that used to store grain. The entrance to that place was relatively hidden, relatively speaking. It is also relatively safe.

The last ray of light disappeared into the sky. After nightfall, there was not a single star or light in the sky, and the whole thing was pitch black.

Qingluan hid in the cold cellar, but her ears were listening to the movement above. The people in the cellar all gave up concentrating, not even daring to make a sound.

Outside the hot spring Zhuangzi, there were a lot of men in black, and one of them, who looked like a leader, left 50 people guarding around the Zhuangzi to prevent any leaks, while the others followed him and entered through the wall.

However, as soon as they landed, there were suppressed screams from several places. Some people fed the traps as soon as they landed. Once the traps for large prey are caught, even the bones will break , and many people fell into the pit. Before they could react, the scalding hot oil poured down on their heads and faces, and their skin and flesh made a squeaking sound. , I couldn't bear it anymore and cried out.

Seeing this posture, the assassin leader knew that they had exposed their whereabouts, and sternly shouted: "No one in the village will be left behind."

As soon as his words fell, the west side of Zhuangzi burst into flames, and the flames could be clearly seen even five miles away.The leader of the assassins was stunned. He originally thought that this task was an easy task, but who knew that many people had been killed just after entering the village, but they didn't even see a single person in the village.

"Spread out, everyone be careful, there are probably a lot of organs here." The leader of the killer gave an order, and the men in black scattered around.

In the dark, Ai Qi and several guards of Weiyuan Hou Mansion stared at the men in black. No matter what, it was a tough battle for them.

The few people did not confront the man in black face to face, but instead fought guerrilla warfare by stealth and shadow. This was also a strategy that had been discussed from the beginning.

*****************

Although the sound insulation effect of the cellar is relatively poor, the voices at the back still reach everyone's ears muffled. Half an hour has passed. Qingluan doesn't know how the situation outside is. Ai Qi and the others only have seven people. They can catch a killer by surprise, but they will inevitably expose themselves in the end. Once they are besieged, they won't last long.

Qingluan's heart was in her throat, and Li Tiezhu's daughter-in-law hugged her young son tightly. The child probably didn't understand what was going on, but only knew that the mother said that she wanted to play hide and seek with him. He couldn't make a sound, he looked at Qingluan and the others with his big eyes open, but his chubby little hands tightly covered his mouth.

Li Tiezhu and Li Daniu held a hatchet in their hands, but they were guarding in front of everyone. They were only father and son in this cellar, and they could only rush to the front if they had anything to do.

Time seemed to stand still, Qingluan's palms were sweating intermittently, and she was still worried about Wei Xiner's situation, and she didn't know if she had been found there. At this moment, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. , All the people below raised their hearts to their throats.
