Ji Changying cut to the chase and led his men running towards the courtyard. On the way, they met soldiers in armor who were rescuing the people in the city. Before they could see who they were, they passed by like a gust of wind.
Ji Xiuren and Ji Chenyan were chasing after him breathlessly, and they could barely see his back.
A lot of soldiers were patrolling near the courtyard, and Ji Changying was stopped before he could get close.
"stop!"
Ji Changying kept walking: "My dad is in there! I'm looking for my dad!"
The soldier standing at the door was about to ask for details when Ji Changying rushed in with his men.
"Hurry! Follow them!"
Several people rushed in with knives.
Ji Fengshou was pacing around the room anxiously, his face full of worry. He felt a gust of wind coming in, turned his head and said in surprise:
"You're back!"
Ji Changying pushed Doctor Lin forward and pointed at the three people lying neatly on the ground: "Come and take a look!"
When Doctor Lin saw the person on the ground was pale and breathing more in than out, he did not dare to delay. After taking his pulse briefly, he took off his clothes and began to examine him.
Ji Changying turned her back slightly and didn't feel comfortable following and watching.
"Doctor! How are they?"
Ji Fengshou looked at the three people on the ground with a nervous expression.
Doctor Lin frowned, and deftly took out a needle bag from his pocket, opened it, twisted out the needles, and inserted them one by one:
"They have severe external injuries and have lost too much blood. I can tell from their pulse that they have also suffered internal injuries, as if they were hit by something heavy. They need to find some old ginseng to hold in their mouths to keep them alive. Otherwise, they might not be able to wait until I can finish treating them..."
Ji Fengshou was whirling around anxiously: "Old ginseng... where can I find old ginseng? Does your clinic have any? I'll go buy some now!"
Doctor Lin's expression darkened: "Those barbarians robbed them all."
A few soldiers followed in and saw that the person inside really knew Ji Changying. After taking a look, they ignored him and continued to patrol.
Ji Chenyan and Ji Xiuren's screams were heard outside the door; they were stopped.
Ji Changying stood up and shouted, and then they were let in.
Ji Fengyi suddenly remembered when he saw them and quickly stepped forward to greet them: "How are you? Are you okay?"
The two were also very surprised to see the two brothers Ji Fengyi and Ji Fengshou.
He stepped forward to take a look at them, and was relieved to see that they were fine: "We are fine, fortunately we met Ah Ying, otherwise we might never see each other again."
Ji Fengyi felt a little guilty: "It happened suddenly. Fengshou was out at the time, and I was only thinking about..."
Ji Chenyan smiled brightly and patted his shoulder: "No need to explain, it would be the same for us! We are all able to gather together, no matter what, thank you for still thinking of us."
There is no need to say more about the rest, everything is self-explanatory.
Seeing them reminiscing about the past, Ji Changying didn't interrupt them: "You guys chat first, I'll go find Lao Shen and come back!"
“I’ll go!”
Ying Er had followed over at some point, and when he heard Ji Changying's words, he immediately spoke, tapped his toes lightly, and disappeared.
Ji Changying watched him leave in a carefree manner and secretly swore in her heart that after this time, she would find a way to learn to "fly" no matter what.
Wang Ziru didn't know when he woke up. Seeing so many people in the unfamiliar room, he was stunned for a moment: "Where is this?"
Si Hu's face lit up with joy: "Are you awake?"
Wang Ziru recalled the last scene in his mind. He was arguing with Si Hu, and then... then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
It was obvious that someone had knocked him unconscious.
"What's the situation in the city now?"
He had no intention of asking who knocked him out, and went straight to the point.
Si Hu's face was filled with joy: "The Qingyi Army from Liangzhou has arrived and is currently rescuing the people in the city!"
Wang Ziru's expression relaxed. "Then the people who retreated to the west of the city..."
"We've sent people after them!"
Wang Ziru murmured to himself: "That's good... That's good..."
Ji Fengyi and the other two looked at each other and fell silent.
This time it was damaged so badly that both residential houses and the people in the city were greatly affected. It is still a problem how to rebuild them when the time comes.
It would be fine if the county government had a good account, but it was already tight before, and now it has been robbed. I am afraid it will be even more difficult in the future...
Si Hu subconsciously ignored this question for the time being. After all, the most important thing at the moment was to kill the enemy first.
"How's things at home?"
Ji Fengyi saw that Ji Shilin and his two brothers had received treatment, and now that he had time, he hurried to find out the situation in Xiaotian Village.
Ji Changying didn't know how to start for a moment.
Glancing at the four people who were eagerly looking at her, she pursed her lips and said, "To be precise, all the villages have been attacked. Xiaotian Village... is still surrounded by barbarians."
"The clan leader... unfortunately passed away, as did Brother Daniu, Aunt Cuihua, and Uncle Derun..."
Ji Changying took a deep breath and listed a series of names. Ji Chenyan didn't recognize most of the people, but Ji Xiuren, Ji Fengyi and Ji Fengshou took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
“All…all gone?!”
Ji Fengyi asked with a trembling voice.
Ji Changying nodded heavily.
Ji Fengshou suddenly thought of something and grabbed Ji Changying and asked nervously, "Auntie Li! And Linzi's wife! Are they here?!"
"Still there."
After hearing this answer, Ji Fengshou felt that he could finally breathe, but then his eyes turned red.
Ji Xiuren was thankful that he didn't hear his family's names, but he squatted on the ground holding his head tightly in hatred: "Damn it!"
Ji Fengyi stood up, his face calm again. "Doctor Lin! Can the three of them move?"
Doctor Lin shook his head: "It's better not to! The injury is serious, let's rest for a few days and see how it goes."
"Okay! Then we won't move. Fengshou, you just stay here and watch them. I'll go outside and get some reinforcements. We'll head straight to Xiaotian Village."
Ying Er returned with the old ginseng in time. He jumped down from the yard and handed the old ginseng to Doctor Lin. He scratched his head and said, "No need to beg. I'll just tell the prince later."
Ji Fengyi didn't hesitate to refuse and immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, little brother."
Ji Changying looked at Ying Er, and he looked at Ji Changying, and the two of them stared at each other.
"What are you looking at? Go and tell him!" Ji Changying glared at him.
“Ohhhhhh!”
After hearing this, Ying Er tiptoed and ran away very fast.
·····
Xie Siheng's expression was cold. No one could remain indifferent when faced with the miserable plight of the people after the city was broken.
However, Hakemu did not want to engage in a head-on battle to the death. After all, his goal had been achieved.
After the signal was sent in the air, all the barbarians in the city entered a state of preparation for war.
They set fires and kidnapped people in all four corners of the city.
Soon the whole city was engulfed in flames.
"retreat!"
