Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 306
In the autumn afternoon, the sun was still so warm, and everyone was sweating after walking, but everyone's heart was icy cold. The post road with constant traffic on weekdays was extremely deserted, which made everyone feel more panic.

The bodyguard who passed out didn't know when he woke up, and breathlessly said: "It's all Xu Qianhu's soldiers who rushed us down the post road. The axle should have split at that time."

Another guard who accompanied his parents to the south of the Yangtze River nodded quickly, "I said why the axle will break at this time. We have been driving this car for more than a year and it is doing well!"

Although the car should have been worn out after traveling too much, but if it hadn't been for the collision just now, where would it break!Ning Wan hated Xu Qianhu to death!But at this moment, it was useless to say anything, and she had no choice but to stop Xu Qianhu, so she stopped them and said, "Let's go!"

Although everyone was very tired, everyone tried their best to speed up their pace. If they could get to Hutai County a moment earlier, they would be able to get farther away.After all, if they encountered the barbarians heading south in groups, they would have no chance of escaping.

But without a carriage, human strength is limited. Lin and An were the first to be unable to walk. They sat on the ground and waved their hands and said, "You guys go, we can't do it!"

Ning Wan yelled sharply: "If you can't do it, you have to get up! Even if you die from exhaustion, it's better than waiting here to die!"

The injured guard climbed off the horse, "Let them ride, I'm fine!"

How dare Lin and An say, "Your wound is still bleeding!"

"What's the point of bleeding!" Several people helped Lin Shi and An Shi onto the horse, and they were indeed the weakest in physical strength.

Just now my father wanted to get off the horse several times but was stopped, now he came down early and pushed his mother up by taking advantage of the time when he stopped, and called Ning Wan, "Yao Nu, you and your mother should ride a horse too!" People with a horse should also give way, "Ma'am, take a rest for a while!" Although Ning Wan is a woman, she has always been strong, so she said: "Everyone, don't blindly give in, let people who can't walk ride horses, the most important thing The most important thing is to get to Hutai County as soon as possible!"

This section of the road is actually not long, if you ride a horse, you will arrive soon.But walking was much slower now. They walked for an hour, but they were still far away from Hutai County.Seeing that everyone was really tired, Ning Wan took a rest for a while.But in a short distance, several people already have a feeling of life and death, and they are sitting together taking care of each other.

Niang gave everyone the remaining water and said, "General Iron Stone will come to pick us up."

Everyone cheered up when they heard General Tieshi's name, "Yes! The general will definitely come to pick us up, let's go!"

Ning Wan also mustered up her courage, "Maybe he will come in a while, let's go on!" In fact, she thought it was unlikely that Tie Shi would come to pick everyone up. As for Wei, he didn't tell him in advance at all, and before he left, he just told Mrs. Bi that he would not come back for lunch.

Tieshi is now heading north with the army, and he will definitely return to Hutai immediately when he sees the wolf smoke. He may not know where he is for a while, even if he knows, how will he find him?In addition, he is not only his own husband, the father of Huai Hua'er and Song'er, but he is also a five-rank general of the imperial court who protects all the people.

Therefore, even though Ning Wan was very much looking forward to Tie Shi's arrival to pick her up, she could completely understand if he led his troops back to Hutai County directly.

Back then, he could go to the old house to pick up his wives and concubines as long as he took a short detour, but he still went straight into the city without even thinking about it.Ning Wan once asked him why, but he said straightforwardly that he forgot.

Ning Wan believed that he had indeed forgotten, one was that he had no affection for his wives and concubines, and he never even regarded them as relatives, and the other was that all he was thinking about was how to enter the city in time to defend the city.

It is very important to know that it is very important to hold Hutai County before the Yi people enter the city. The Yi people came prepared, and their military strength is far greater than that of the border towns. According to the situation of the barbarian people, dispatch troops and send reinforcements from the future. Only at this time can we fight against the barbarian army.

As someone who stayed in Hutai County and was rescued by Tie Shi, Ning Wan is now outside the city, and she sees no reason to ask Tie Shi to throw down all the people in the city to save herself and her children.How can a few people outside compare with thousands of people in the city?
However, Ning Wan wouldn't say that, because then everyone would be discouraged from running back.She said even louder: "Let's go quickly, we will meet the general!"

The sun moved from the center to the west, making the shadows of the man and the horse longer and longer, and the group of people was still walking forward. Usually, these small villages by the roadside are always lively and popular, but now they are completely silent. Occasionally, one or two people would join their ranks and head towards Hutai County in silence, presumably before they had time to leave with the group.

Suddenly, bursts of thunder came from far away, and then the thunder quickly rolled over. Everyone was stunned for a while and then realized that this was not thunder, but the sound of horseshoes.He stopped and looked back, only to see people and horses like dark clouds flooding over like a flood.

Several guards pulled out their waist knives, and even the one with the injured leg got off the horse, leaned on an accomplice and said to everyone: "I didn't expect the barbarians to be so fast. They have already caught up from behind. Run away, we are soldiers, stay here to protect you!"

The soldiers and common people of Liaodong were at the front, and the barbarians were chasing after them. Their clothes were still the same as they had seen in the dream, which made her feel bloody and terrifying again.

At present, there are still more than ten miles away from Hutai County. Although she has three horses, she has no way to return to the city quickly with her two children, parents and Lin's and An's.

Could it be that there is really no escape?

At this moment, she heard a louder thunderclap coming from behind her. She turned her head and saw that her iron stone was wearing armor, holding a spear, and galloping towards her on a big black horse!His eyes were so bright, his face was so handsome and resolute, he came to her in an instant, smiled at her, showing his white teeth, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid!"

Ning Wan couldn't tell if he was in a dream for a while, she just looked up at him on the horse, and then watched him flick the rein and gallop forward, followed by a cloud of iron cavalry, blocking in front of everyone.

A moment later, Ning Wan was holding Song'er and riding on the horse, listening to Huai Hua'er sitting in Tie Shi's arms yelling, "Father! You are amazing!" Finally she came back to her senses and asked, "Xu Qianhu Was he really killed by the barbarians?"

"It should be true. Those soldiers who escaped saw it."

"What about the Zhou family?"

"I don't know. If he's still alive, he's in that group of people." Tie Shi just stepped forward to stop the defeated Hutai County garrison, saved a large number of people who fled back with the rout, and beheaded the leader of the Yi people's vanguard. , and is now taking everyone back to Hutai County.

Although Ning Wan saw everything, she still couldn't believe it. It turned out that Xu Qianhu was stopped and killed by this group of barbarians before he could escape to Anpingwei!

Then, in his dream, he did not actually escape to Anpingwei, even his subordinates and the people who escaped with him did not escape to Anpingwei, they were all intercepted and killed by barbarians.

"Then why did you come to save me?"

"You were frightened by the barbarians," Tie Shi saw his shrewd daughter-in-law asking such a stupid question, and then he stretched out a hand to pat her on the head, "It's all right now, the army of barbarians is fine. It will be there soon."

"I was asking you why..."

Tie Shi smiled and interrupted his daughter-in-law's questioning, "Why, I'm here to save my daughter-in-law, child and father-in-law!"

"But, shouldn't you immediately enter Hutai County to defend the city from being preempted by the barbarians?"

"Of course I want to defend Tiger Terrace, so I have divided up my troops into the city to defend, but my daughter-in-law and children's father-in-law and mother-in-law need me to save them even more," Tie Shi felt more sorry for his daughter-in-law, pulling her horse's locks over two horses and getting more He approached, coaxing softly: "Don't be afraid, Wan'er, I am a military officer of the imperial court, so I naturally have to take on the responsibility of guarding the people, but I am also your husband, the father of Huai Hua'er and Song'er, the son-in-law of my father-in-law, and I have to take care of you." You are!"

It turns out that many things are still the same, but even more things are different!

Ning Wan is fully awake, the dream has passed, and now it is real, she took Huai Hua over with a smile and said: "I can take care of two children, and I will take care of parents, you go there!"

Seeing the resolute look in his daughter-in-law's eyes again, Tie Shi sent Sophora japonica to his daughter-in-law's saddle, reined in the horse and stayed at the end of everyone.What happened to my daughter-in-law just now, even a man would probably lose his mind, but my daughter-in-law is a very tenacious person. She can bring everyone who went out with her back safely. This alone is better than many men. It is much stronger, and I am completely assured that she is bringing her two children and her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Hutai County, which I thought was impossible to get to, will soon arrive. In front of the city gate, I saw Xiaoliu waiting with two assistants pulling a cart, and hurried forward to pick him up, "Listening to the news that the barbarians came We were all in a hurry. We were about to leave the city and met General Tieshi's subordinates. We were relieved when we knew that the general was going to pick you up.

"

Ning Wan handed everything over to Xiao Liu, and turned to look for County Magistrate Qian.

County magistrate Qian is a literati who has no power to restrain a chicken. Hearing that the barbarians went south and Xu Qianhu abandoned the city, what idea does he have?After turning around the county government office for many times, he ordered people to pile up straw in the main hall, dressed himself and sat on the seat of the county magistrate, and called all his wives, concubines and children to tell him: "I am an official of the imperial court, and I can't abandon it any more. If we leave the city, we will live and die together with Hutai County! If the barbarians enter the city, our whole family will burn ourselves to death together, and we must not fall into the hands of the barbarians and be humiliated."

Madam Qian naturally agreed, and changed into her royal clothes and took her two children to sit beside Qian County Magistrate. The concubine held her youngest son and refused to wait for death. She cried and wanted to escape from the city, but the county magistrate Qian took the child back to Mrs. Qian and forced the concubine to commit suicide. Crying and making noises, and the county magistrate Qian was not capable of being cruel, so the county government was in chaos for a while.

Ning Wan saw such a situation when she entered the county office. She had heard it said once. When she was guarding the city, someone made a joke about it. At that time, she wondered if it was true, but now it is true .

County Magistrate Qian was indeed somewhat pedantic, and he was not well received by the people of Hutai County, but after experiencing the defense of the city, seeing that he would rather die than escape with Xu Qianhu, everyone began to respect him.Ning Wan naturally did the same, because she couldn't see the chaos in front of her eyes, so she hurriedly said: "General Tie Shi has returned to aid Hutai County, and brought many people with him, please ask the county magistrate to help resettle it."

It turned out that County Magistrate Qian had asked people to move hay, and had prepared flint and flint to burn himself. He had already scared away most of the entourage of the yamen servants, leaving only one or two loyal entourages in the county yamen. He didn't know that General Tieshi had led his troops into the city. Hearing Madam Lu's words, he stepped down from the seat on the haystack and said solemnly, "I only listen to Madam's orders!"

This time Tieshi brought back quite a few people. About half of the [-] soldiers who followed Xu Qianhu to Anpingwei were dispersed by the barbarians, and two were dealt with by Tieshi during the breakup. The rest followed Tieshi immediately. Facing the barbarians, Tieshi's Lou You has now taken over and put them in the barracks. Ning Wan said: "I also ask County Magistrate Qian to settle down those people who escaped from Hutai County."

County magistrate Qian was scared out of his wits for half a day, and then he declared that he would die, and suddenly knew that nothing was wrong. Although his face was calm, his heart was already in a mess, and he had no idea. , "But where should I settle down?"

Ning Wan pointed to the ground and said, "Just here, County Magistrate Qian has ordered a lot of hay to be put away, wouldn't it be convenient?"

"That's right," County Magistrate Qian nodded and said, "I made that plan before!" Then he ordered: "Yamen servants, bring the people over!"

It's just that now where is anyone listening to orders in the Yamen?County magistrate Qian lifted the corner of his robe and said, "I will go in person!"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qian handed the children over to Shuangjie, "You stay in the yamen, and Mrs. Lu and I will help too!"

Ning Wan and Mrs. Qian went out arm in arm, when she vaguely heard the sound of music, she went into Feng Dianshi's house next door with a thought.The gate of Feng's courtyard was wide open, no one was there, but the music became clearer, it was "House of Flying Daggers", impassioned and impassioned.The two entered following the sound, and saw Grandma Feng wearing a white jade crown, sitting and playing the piano, seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, holding down the strings and smiling gracefully, "Is it all right if you think about it?"

Madam Qian laughed and said: "Indeed, there are many things in the city that we are too busy to handle, and we women can't sit in the back house. Please, Young Madam Feng, go with us to resettle the common people."

Young Mistress Feng got up and said with a smile, "Of course I will do my best."

Ning Wan's gaze swept across the jewel-encrusted scimitar at her waist, which was newly worn. She thought she had made a plan to die, but she didn't say anything, just smiled: "What to do There are still many things to do, such as rescuing the wounded, delivering food and water, mending clothes, we always have to make a charter."

The three of them went to the gate of the city together.

Tieshi led the cavalry to form a semicircle, protecting the people at the back and entering the city one after another.No matter who came back on horseback like Ning Wan, these rescued people all came back on foot. Even those who rode mules and donkeys when they went to Anpingwei before, most of them are lost now. It's fate.

They all went out from Hutai County with Xu Qianhu. They were originally from Hutai County, so they didn't need to be resettled.Madam Qian and Young Mistress Feng all went back, only Ning Wan stood aside and waited for Tie Shi.It is estimated that when he enters the city, he will set up defenses on the city wall, and he may not be able to go home overnight. I always want to say a few words with him before leaving.

The last few people were really too slow, Tie Shi waved his hand, and a few riders stepped forward and brought them in on their horses.Ning Wan looked at these people with some disdain, and ran after Xu Qianhu, where would it end well!It was precisely because he didn't know who he knew that he was in great trouble. He might as well just stay in Hutai County honestly.

Then she saw Mrs. Zhou.She was walking from the gate of the city with the support of a girl, her hair was disheveled, and the ruby-studded buyao had gone nowhere, and her clothes had long been disheveled, but fortunately she wore a The military jacket barely concealed her shame, and what was worse was that she only had shoes on one foot, and the other was bare, which was mixed with dust and blood, and she would inevitably limp when she walked.

When she walked in front of her, Ning Wan couldn't help asking, "Madam Zhou, are you all right?"

When Zhou's eyes widened and looked at her, she waved her hand again, "See you!" She waved her away like a fly.
