Chapter 215 Reinforcements are coming
Qinghua waved his hand, and a large net fell over the attic.
"A mere Flower Snake Mountain dares to rebel." The old man from the North Courtyard sneered at him. He waved his palm and threw something down, but it was attracted by something in Qinghua's hand. He turned to look at An Yan and asked, "That thing he was holding just now was a treasure from West City."
"They were all stolen by that group of people." An Yan signaled him not to panic.
"This is outrageous! You should wipe out Flower Snake Mountain." The old man in the north yard was very angry.
The old man from the southern suburbs also struck down with a palm, and seeing that Qinghua was unharmed, he frowned and said, "It seems that he came prepared."
"They are carrying all kinds of treasures. If we rely on just a few of us, we will be at a disadvantage." said the eldest lady of the East Mansion.
"We need to send someone out to report the situation and invite the hermits in West City to come and rescue us." An Yan said as she looked towards Li Rongsen.
He was startled, and instantly realized that she wanted him to escape and report the news, but he didn't want to. He wanted to stay and live and die with her, so he said, "I'll stay."
"You must rush to West City as quickly as possible and call for reinforcements." An Yan instructed him seriously, and then said, "The old man will make arrangements, just listen to him."
The old man in the north courtyard and the old man in the south suburb both frowned.
The old man in the north courtyard asked, "Is he really capable? He looks very ordinary, and he's not from the same group as us."
"He is a city slave in West City." An Yan told them Li Rongsen's identity, and she pulled out a few hairs from her head and wrapped them around his wrist. In an instant, the hairs turned into a red halo and then disappeared.
"What is this?" Li Rongsen asked.
"I acknowledge your status as a city slave. Once this matter is over, I will give you freedom." An Yan could only briefly tell him a few things at this moment, and then said, "It will be too late to do it any later. Take advantage of the opportunity before the net is tightened."
"I'm worried about you, as if I were a deserter." Li Rongsen refused in the end.
An Yan quickly grabbed Li Rongsen's hand and ran to the first floor. She pushed him out of the small gap and said to him, "They can't see you. Go to the west city to get help immediately."
"An Yan, you could have gone with me."
"There are three snobbish people here, and I can't abandon the young lady. You go." An Yan signaled him to leave quickly.
Li Rongsen still refused. He said, "I'll sneak over and ambush him."
"If you attack, your invisibility will disappear. Hurry up and leave. Every moment of delay will increase the danger. Our lives are in your hands." An Yan also knew that he was in danger. Even if he went out to get help, it didn't mean that they would arrive in time. But he couldn't let him go without saying this.
Li Rongsen will finally be safe after returning to West City.
When Li Rongsen heard this, he stopped asking questions and hurried to call for help.
An Yan went back upstairs.
The eldest lady of the East Mansion said: "If I am not mistaken, this is a fence."
"It's also our West City's treasure." An Yan told the truth.
"It's really shameful that all the treasures were stolen from Huashe Mountain. Isn't that embarrassing enough?" said the old man in the north yard unconvinced.
An Yan ignored this. It was also her fault. She took away the city treasure of West City and did not refine a city treasure of equal power, which gave the people of Huashe Mountain an opportunity to take advantage.
Miss Dong said, "Okay, let's think of a way to get out."
"Look, they started to light the fire." The old man from the south suburbs pointed outside.
Sure enough, there were many people placing firewood around the attic, probably intending to burn them to death.
I heard Qinghua downstairs say, "Throw out all the palm prints on your bodies, and I can spare your lives."
"How abominable." Miss Dong sneered.
"Let him set the fire." An Yan said.
"Aren't you afraid of being burned to death?" asked the old man from the southern suburbs.
"See if you can burn it up first." An Yan was calm and didn't care about this matter at all.
The eldest lady of the East Mansion always believed in Anyan. She said, "Since the city lord is not afraid, we naturally don't have to be afraid either. Everyone knows the efficacy of their own treasures."
When the two old men from the North Courtyard and the South Suburbs heard this, they were no longer in a hurry and sat back at the table.
On the other side, Yan Qingqiu was getting annoyed because he couldn't find anyone around him. He asked the man next to him, "Are there any electric cars or anything like that here?"
"I have a motorcycle, but it's a bit old and hasn't been used for a long time," he said.
"I want to go and see them. I'm worried." Yan Qingqiu gestured for him to bring the motorcycle up.
It turned out to be really old and almost falling apart.
Before Yan Qingqiu could even sit on it, he just gave it a light kick and the parts fell off. He sighed, "This won't do. It really won't do. It's not as strong as my two legs."
"Didn't they ask you to wait here?"
"It's a bad thing that you haven't come back for so long. I must go and take a look." Yan Qingqiu said to him seriously.
"In that case, I will bring someone to go with you," the man said.
"How are you going?"
"We have a tricycle, let's ride it." The man said as he gestured for the tricycle to be brought up.
"Your family is too poor. Why don't you buy a few more cars?"
"There were two, but they were taken away by the second steward." The man was also helpless and said, "There are also horses, do you want them?"
Yan Qingqiu sighed. He suddenly found that there was something circling around him. It turned out to be a paper crane. The crane made a sound next to his ear, which startled him.
He said, "Hey, give me a tricycle and I'll ride it." Then he got on a tricycle and started on his way.
Yan Qingqiu was a little unconvinced. He thought he was a hero who put out the fire in the past, but there had never been a hero riding a tricycle. Besides, there were a few snobbish people there, which didn't look good either.
But what else could he do? He couldn't ride a horse, so he could only pedal a broken tricycle.
Finally, he could see the attic. He immediately abandoned the tricycle and walked forward to find that the entire attic was covered with a fence net, and there was a fire next to it, which was almost extinguished.
Could it be that An Yan and the others are already dead? This made Yan Qingqiu stunned. He looked around and saw Qinghua riding a handsome horse, pulling a rope in his hand, which was the end of the enclosure net, and he was pulling the rope.
There are a bunch of soldiers around.
I thought there must be someone else in the attic, otherwise there would be no reason not to evacuate.
The people in the attic are still there.
The eldest lady of the East Mansion was talking to An Yan: "Even if water and fire can't penetrate this net, we have nowhere to escape. I feel like this house is about to collapse. Qinghua is closing in the net."
An Yan signaled her not to rush. She was currently cutting the net with a dagger and said, "I'll try and see if I can cut it."
"I've been cutting for a long time but there's still no movement. I'm afraid this won't work." said the old man from the southern suburbs.
"This net is so powerful that nothing can get out. Look how dense and thin the ropes have become." The old man in the north yard also saw this treasure clearly for the first time.
"How long will it take him to get help? It's already taken a long time." The eldest lady of the East Mansion frowned. She hoped that Li Rongsen could be faster.
At this moment, a painful cry was heard from outside.
The eldest lady of the East Mansion instinctively looked over and found that it was Yan Qingqiu who had captured Qinghua. He said, "Don't move, or I will strangle him to death!"
An Yan also recognized it as Yan Qingqiu's voice, so she put away her knife and went over to see.
Yan Qingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw An Yan come out. He had already snatched the rope from Qinghua's hand and asked, "An Yan, how should I close the net?"
As a result, the sound caused the enclosure net to be quickly retracted, causing the attic to shake.
