The sudden change caught Jiang Yuzhu off guard. She had never seen such a scene before. She was briefly surprised and then asked, "Where did these barbarians come from?"
This is the border town of Da Qi, not a place for barbarians to run wild.
The man who came was Kong San, a servant who did odd jobs in the mansion.
He was stunned at first, glanced at Yan Lin who was lying on the ground, then looked down at the bloodstains on his jacket with an apologetic look in his eyes.
But now was not the time to apologize. Kong San's pupils dilated and he said in horror, "Madam, please hide quickly! The barbarians are attacking!"
The Kong family had lived in the border town for more than 30 years, and they rarely saw barbarians blatantly killing people in the border town in broad daylight.
In the early years, there were occasional exchanges between the people of the two countries, and the barbarians only dared to harass the people on a small scale.
These dirty little guys, like rats, mostly appear in the middle of the night and attack people while they are sleeping.
In order to guard against the barbarians, the people in the border towns came up with many ways.
Rich families raised their courtyard walls and added barbed wire to the walls, while poor people pasted broken tiles on the walls and dug trenches in the yards.
Jiang Yuzhu was shocked and asked in disbelief, "How dare the barbarians come here?"
As far as she knew, although the fighting outside the city was intense and the soldiers of Da Qi were slightly at a disadvantage, they were not able to break the city.
"Our house's walls have been raised. Not far from our house are the government office and the Protectorate General's residence. They should be safe places, right?"
Although she said this, Jiang Yuzhu silently took out the dagger from her sleeve pocket for self-defense.
When Kong San heard this, he showed an even more frightened expression and said, "Madam, you don't know that these barbarians are coming for the Protector General's Mansion!"
"The barbarians disguised themselves as a merchant caravan, transporting vegetables to the Protector General's residence. They were discovered by a servant at the corner gate, and they stabbed the servant to death!"
Not only that, a group of barbarians broke into the General's Mansion, and the rest wantonly killed civilians on the streets.
"How did you get covered in blood?"
Jiang Yuzhu pointed at Kong San's jacket with a deep look in her eyes.
So much blood was enough to scare Yan Lin to faint.
"I was passing by, and a barbarian grabbed the man next to me, stabbed him with a knife, and then pulled it out. That's when..."
Kong San was unlucky, as he was just passing by and was caught in the disaster. He calmed himself down and said, "I was confused at the time. The only thought in my mind was to come back and report the news."
The gate of the mansion was closed, and Kong San felt a little relieved, but he was also worried that he had been caught in a trap. He just hoped that the patrol team would get the news and come here as soon as possible.
"The barbarian went to the Protector General's Mansion?"
In panic, Jiang Yuzhu gradually calmed down.
It is quiet at night, and shouting a word can be heard from far away, which is not conducive to hiding.
The barbarians launched a surprise attack after breakfast, which must have been organized and premeditated.
"A surprise attack on the Protector General's Mansion, could it be..."
The answer is obvious, it’s for the army commander Mo Changchuan.
Previously, Manzi had bribed Mo Changchuan's most trusted men to assassinate him. He had put in a lot of hard work, but ultimately failed.
Mo Changchuan is in the recovery stage and has not shown up in public yet, so all kinds of rumors are spreading.
"The barbarians risked sending people here not only to see for themselves, but also to kill General Mo Da again if they found he was still alive."
Hong Jin unconsciously clenched the dagger in his hand, and stood on Jiang Yuzhu's left and right with Hong Xiu.
Kong San pursed his lips uncomfortably, his eyes flickering.
There was a heavy sound of knocking on the door at the front yard gate.
Kong Sangeng was like a frightened bird, and suggested: "Madam, there is a shelter in the rockery in the mansion garden. It was left by the previous owner. Why don't you take shelter in it?"
When the barbarians come to your house, they will at most take advantage of you, smash, loot and then leave.
After all, this place is backed by the government office, and the residents around here are either rich or noble.
Jiang Yuzhu looked around and said, "Hongxiu, take Doctor Yan with you."
Xiaowu was not strong enough to move Yan Lin, so Hongxiu picked up Yan Lin and carried him like a big bag, striding forward to lead the way.
Xiao Wu, who was running behind him, said: "..."
When the servants in the mansion heard the news, they all looked for places to hide.
When the group arrived at the rockery, they found that it was hollowed out inside and there was indeed an entrance to a cellar.
Kong San stood by, wiped his sweat and said, "Madam, it's this cave. It's not big enough and can only accommodate five or six people."
"You're not going down?"
Jiang Yuzhu glanced towards the cave entrance.
There was no dust around, and it looked like someone had cleaned it in advance.
"How dare I, a worthless little one, compete with Madam for a place to hide?"
Kong San looked terrified and was about to say something when Jiang Yuzhu, who was standing behind him, kicked him.
"lady……"
Before he could finish his sentence, Kong San was caught off guard and kicked in the butt. He staggered a few steps and fell into the cave.
This time, Yan Lin didn't faint for long. After he woke up, he rubbed his aching forehead and found that his feet were dangling in the air.
When I lowered my head, I saw Hongxiu's face.
Yan Lin was horrified and begged for mercy: "Miss Hongxiu, let me down!"
Hongxiu swiftly threw Yan Lin onto the snow and handed him to Xiaowu who was standing beside her.
Soon, a voice came from the cave entrance, and Kong San popped up and asked, "Madam, why don't you come down?"
This time, Hong Jin received a signal from his wife and knocked Kong San unconscious.
Ningxiang looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't understand the strange direction.
"Madam, Kong San clearly tipped off the enemy and performed a great deed, so why is he tied up?"
Ningxiang looked at Hongjin, who shook her head, saying she didn't know either.
However, none of this matters. All they have to do is obey the lady's orders.
"Hongjin, find a place to hide nearby. The rest of you should follow me and hide."
There is a room on one side of the rockery, which is a small Buddhist hall.
