Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 235 Escape
Ordinarily, Eucommia's guess should be very accurate, because he has been with Zheng Jingyan all the time, and he knows his habits and certain thoughts very well. He cooks a lot of carrier pigeons that Zheng Jingyan usually uses. The one that Zheng Jingyan put back The pigeon was named Liuyun, and it has been raised for more than ten years. Du Zhong confirmed it at the first sight!

In fact, Du Zhong knew in his heart that King Qin and Lord Hou should also appear at this time!
So he got carried away and happily announced the good news to the female relatives in the backyard. He thought that maybe the next day Lord Hou would be able to go back to the city and reunite with everyone.

But they never expected that on the afternoon when the carrier pigeon flew back, the gate of the Hou Mansion was slammed by officers and soldiers, saying that Marquis Rong Ping had participated in the rebellion and was ordered to search the Hou Mansion... How dare Du Zhong and others open the door?After confronting each other for nearly half an hour, the officers and soldiers outside the door carried large logs and began to smash the door one, two, three, trying to force their way in!
The situation in Prince Qin's mansion has been inquired by spies. It would be strange if the guards of the Hou's mansion believed that the officers and soldiers outside the gate were acting according to the imperial order!Therefore, when the officers and soldiers began to smash the door, the guards started to fight back without hesitation. There were irregular small round holes on the bronze door. Every time two or three holes were opened, hidden weapons and crossbow arrows flew out from inside. People were killed, and someone climbed a high ladder and poured buckets of mixed medicinal powder and quicklime out of the wall. If those things got into the eyes, it would take half a month to cure them. On the clothes, the more you pat it, the more it drills in, but in the blink of an eye, it can make your whole body itchy, the more you scratch, the more itchy you are, and you don't want to do anything else at all.

The defense of the Hou's Mansion relied on these tricks, and it was in a stalemate with the officers and soldiers for several hours. When night fell, the leading officer was furious and ordered rockets to be fired into the mansion—burning down all the houses. You can't open the door!
But God opened his eyes, the rockets on the ground were just lit up, and before they started shooting, there was a rumbling sound of thunder and lightning in the sky. After a while, heavy rain poured down. All the launched rockets went out!

And at this time, the quicklime and weird medicinal powder in the Hou's mansion also lost their effectiveness!
God gave fair treatment to both sides. At this time, if the officers and soldiers forcibly climbed into the Hou's mansion with high ladders, they would definitely be slashed and killed by the guards of the Hou's mansion.Prince Qin's mansion still failed to capture, and the officials leading the team weighed it over and over again, feeling that they had no chance of winning with these hundreds of soldiers, so they had to endure it, and let everyone take a break for the time being on the grounds of the rain and strong wind.

This break lasted until dawn of the next day, when the sky was twilight, a thunderstorm stopped its power, and the sun showed its face from the clouds in the east, and it was another clear and sunny day!

It's a pity that nothing good happened in such a good weather. Du Zhong and the guards led the servants to confront the officers and soldiers again, and started the second round of guarding the Hou Mansion.

The female relatives in the backyard have been terrified since they started fighting yesterday, and no one wanted to go back to their rooms. They all huddled together in the Anhe Hall, and it rained heavily all night, except for Yiqing who was so sleepy that she lay down and whimpered. Fell asleep, and none of the others slept soundly. The old lady was nagging and chatting with Mrs. Fang Zheng. Mrs. Zheng and Yiqing shared the same couch, leaning on the pillow without any sleepiness, and was only focused on covering Yiqing. Wang Yaozhen, Feng Yuejiao and Wang Wenhui didn't dare to close their eyes, and they endured such hardship all night.

When it was dawn, those who hadn't slept all night finally fell asleep for a while, but Yiqing had had enough sleep, Hua Yu woke up with a light wake, hurriedly got up to freshen up, and while understanding the things ahead, she asked about the arrangements made last night. How things are doing well, knowing that everything is as usual everywhere, the maids on duty at night dare not take a break at all, and the logistics staff can always keep up with the needs of the front guards, so I nodded and praised everyone .

After eating some breakfast, she took Yunping and Cuixiang to the front yard to check, but was stopped when she reached the second gate: the fight was about to start again, Yiqing listened to the howls and shouts from the front. The sound of scolding and banging on the door also felt very thrilling, so he followed the persuasion of Hong's mother and Yunping Cuixiang, turned around and walked back, thinking that some people in Anhetang might still be sleeping at this time, so he I went back to Yuhui Courtyard with my maidservants and wives. I had nothing to do, so I tidied up the room with the maids to distract my attention so that I wouldn't be too nervous.

If you can't defend the Hou Mansion, then listen to Du Zhong and run away!I really can't escape, that's the destiny, the path I chose, I have nothing to say since I've come to a dead end, it's just too pitiful baby!

When Yiqing returned to Anhetang, the old lady and others had already woken up and were sitting around the table having breakfast. As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw her, she hurriedly got up to meet her, and asked where she was again?It's not peaceful now, so you can't just walk around at will.

Yiqing smiled and said: "The guards are still resisting, outsiders will not be able to attack for a while, but I heard the sound, it seems that more officers and soldiers have come...you eat quickly, try to eat and drink enough , maybe it won't last long!"

As soon as the words were finished, the three timid girls couldn't eat any more. One after another, they put down the bowls, chopsticks and spoons, showing panic. Wang Yaozhen lowered her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, Feng Yuejiao's eyes were red.

Two hours later, Eucommia came and said he asked Mrs. Zheng to go forward to discuss something, Yiqing pulled Mrs. Zheng and said: "Mother, please accompany me there!"

Mrs. Zheng would not refuse, the old lady also nodded her head in agreement. After half an hour after Mrs. Zheng and Yiqing had left, the housekeeper came and said that the wife and the young lady had something to decide, and asked the old lady to discuss it. He also tactfully reminded that it rained heavily last night, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to walk in the garden, so I asked my aunt and girls to accompany the old lady to go there.

Fang Zheng was wondering what the housekeeper said. He has been in the Hou's mansion for decades, so he still doesn't understand the situation of the Hou's mansion?The courtyard of the Hou Mansion is criss-crossed with verandahs. On a hot day, you are not afraid of being exposed to the sun, let alone rain and snow. What does the heavy rain last night have to do with the old lady walking?
Before she could turn her head around, the old lady saw something in the eyes of the big housekeeper. Without further ado, she asked Mama Lin to call for someone to prepare the sedan chair, and immediately led a few personal servants, and called Fang Mrs. Zheng went to the front yard with the three girls.

As soon as they arrived at the front yard, they went directly to Zheng Jingyan's outer study. Du Zhong, Mrs. Zheng, and Yi Qing were waiting there, and the door of the secret room was also open. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng and others suddenly realized: It seems that the Hou Mansion is I can't keep it anymore, but there is still such a way to escape!
Mrs. Fang Zheng complained that Yiqing didn't speak out sooner, which caused everyone to be on tenterhooks for several days, and suspected that she only wanted Mrs. Zheng to accompany her, because she wanted to leave the old lady and them alone!

Yiqing was busy directing everyone to enter the secret room one by one, and was too lazy to argue with Fang Zhengshi. It was the old lady who stopped her, so Fang Zhengshi shut up.

How can the old lady not understand?It makes sense for Eucommia and the housekeeper to make such an arrangement: when fleeing for their lives, there should not be too many people, otherwise it will be easy to expose Xingzang!
There are only a few masters in the Hou's mansion, but no less than a hundred servants. It is impossible to take them all away, but it cannot show that the master ran away and left the servants behind. It would also easily cause chaos, so the only way to go is quietly. , let the maids and servants in the mansion do what they want, until the guards can't hold on anymore and give up the defense, the officers and soldiers invade, if they can't catch the master, they will only plunder the property, and will not harm the lives of the servants.
