Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

The incident was unexpected. Jiang Yuzhu had never seen such a scene before. She was briefly surprised and then asked: "Where did this barbarian come from?"

This is a border town of Daqi, not a place for barbarians to run wild.

The visitor, Kong San, is a servant in the mansion.

He was startled for a moment, glanced at Yan Lin who was lying on the ground, and then looked down at the blood stains on his coat with an apologetic look on his face.

But now is not the time to apologize. Kong San's pupils dilated and he said in horror: "Madam, hide quickly, the barbarians are attacking!"

Kong San's family has lived in the border town for more than 30 years. It is rare to see barbarians brazenly killing people in the border town in daylight.

In the early years, there were occasional contacts between the people of the two countries, and the barbarians only dared to harass the people on a small scale.

These dirty, rat-like villains mostly come out in the middle of the night and attack people while they are sleeping.

In order to prevent barbarians, the people in the border towns thought of many ways.

Rich people raised their courtyard walls and added a barbed wire fence, while poor people put broken porcelain tiles on the walls and dug trenches in their yards.

Jiang Yuzhu was shocked and asked in disbelief: "How dare the barbarian come?"

As far as she knew, although the fighting outside the city was intense and the Daqi soldiers were slightly behind, it was not to the extent of destroying the city.

"The courtyard wall of our house has been raised. Not far from the house are the Yamen and the General Protector's Mansion. It should be a safe place?"

Even so, Jiang Yuzhu silently took out the dagger in his sleeve pocket for self-defense.

Upon hearing this, Kong San showed an even more frightened expression and said, "Madam, you don't know something. These barbarians are here for the General Protector's Mansion!"

"The barbarians pretended to be a caravan and were transporting vegetables to the Protector General's Mansion. They were spotted by the servants at the corner gate and they stabbed them to death!"

Not only that, a group of barbarians broke into the palace of the general protecting the country, and the rest killed people wantonly on the streets.

"How did you get all this blood on you?"

Jiang Yuzhu pointed at Kong San's coat with a deep look.

This much blood was enough to scare Yan Lin into unconsciousness.

"The young man was passing by, and the barbarian grabbed the man next to him, stabbed the knife in and pulled it out, and then..."

Kong San was unlucky. He was killed by Chi Yu because he was passing by. He calmed down and said, "I was confused at the time, and the only thought in my mind was to come back and report the news."

The gate of the mansion was closed tightly. Kong San felt a little relieved, but he was also worried about being caught in a trap. He just hoped that the patrol team would get the news and come over as soon as possible.

"Barbarian went to the Protector General's Mansion?"

In panic, Jiang Yuzhu gradually calmed down.

It is silent at night, and a word can be spread far away, but it is not conducive to hiding.

Barbarian's surprise attack after breakfast must have been organized and premeditated.

"Sneak attack on the General Protector's Mansion, could it be..."

The answer is obvious, for the military coach Mo Changchuan.

In order to bribe Mo Changchuan's most trusted subordinate to assassinate him, Manzi worked hard and finally failed.

Mo Changchuan was recovering from his injuries and had not shown his face for the time being, so rumors abounded.

"The barbarian took the risk and sent people here not only to see what he saw but to believe it. If General Mo was found to be alive, he would probably kill him again."

Hong Jin clenched the dagger in her hand unconsciously, and she and Hong Xiu stood beside Jiang Yuzhu.

Kong San pursed his lips uncomfortably and his eyes flickered.

There was already a heavy banging sound at the front door.

Kong Sangen was as frightened as a bird, and came up with an idea: "Madam, there is a shelter in the rockery in the garden of the mansion. It was left by the previous owner. Why don't you go in and take shelter?"

Barbarians come to the house to take advantage at most, then leave after smashing and looting.

After all, this place is backed by a government office, and the surrounding residents are either rich or expensive.

Jiang Yuzhu looked around, and then said: "Hongxiu, take Mr. Yan with you."

Xiaowu was not strong enough to manipulate Yan Lin, so Hongxiu picked up Yan Lin, carried him like a big bag, and led the way with long strides.

Xiao Wu was running behind him: "..."

After the servants in the mansion got the news, they each found a place to hide.

When a group of people arrived at the rockery, they found that it was hollowed out and there was indeed an entrance to the cellar.

Kong San stood on the edge, wiped his sweat and said, "Madam, this is the cave. It's not big enough and can only accommodate five or six people."

"You're not going down?"

Jiang Yuzhu glanced towards the entrance of the cave.

There was no dust around, and it looked like it had been cleaned in advance.

"How dare you and your wife fight for a place of refuge when you have a lifeless life?"

Kong San looked horrified, and just as he was about to say something, Jiang Yuzhu stood behind him and kicked him flying.

"lady……"

Before he finished his sentence, Kong San was unprepared and was kicked to the buttocks. He staggered a few steps and fell into the hole.

This time, Yan Lin didn't faint for long. After he woke up and rubbed his sore forehead, he noticed that his feet were dangling in the air.

When he lowered his head, he happened to see Hongxiu's face.

Yan Lin was frightened for a moment and begged for mercy: "Miss Hongxiu, let me down!"

Hong Xiu neatly threw Yan Lin in the snow and handed him to Xiao Wu who was standing aside.

Soon, a voice came from the entrance of the cave, 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 she didn't understand this strange direction.

"Madam, Kong San clearly made great achievements by informing him, so why is his hands and feet tied?"

Ningxiang looked at Hongjin, who shook her head. She didn't know.

However, these are not important, what they have to do is follow the madam's instructions.

"Hongjin, you find a place to hide nearby, while the others and my wife go to hide."

There is a room on one side of the rockery, which is a small Buddhist hall.

In critical moments, it is right to ask Buddha for protection.

In the Buddhist hall, Yan Lin also figured out the situation. He smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the Northland is really not peaceful."

No wonder there has been no news from the clan after he escaped from marriage. The uncle in the clan may have known about the dangers of the North and prayed that he would die outside.

"lady……"

Ningxiang had seen the scene of killing, she bit her lip and tried not to think about it.

Jiang Yuzhu noticed Ningxiang's abnormality, touched her head to comfort her, and then said: "You are surprised why I kicked Kong San down. You will know later."

Everyone opened the door a crack and waited for any movement in the garden.

About half an hour later, two women came to the path.

The mother-in-law was the cook invited by the house. The two looked at each other, holding ropes and other objects in their hands, sneaking around the entrance of the cave.

"Where did Kong San go?"

The mother-in-law asked her friend when she saw footprints in front of the cave entrance.

The other person was impatient, lit the smoke in his hand, quickly put it into the hole, and then said: "Kong San's task is to trick Jiang Yuzhu into the hole, and make him faint. Let's hand him over alive. The other party promised him ten thousand taels of silver." !”

Thinking of the benefits they were about to receive, the two women's eyes showed excitement.

Hong Jin was good at hiding. She hid on the side of the rockery and eavesdropped. She frowned and then relaxed her brows. She couldn't help but think: Madam is so good. She could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Kong San!

A servant is far less vigilant than a master.

"When we get the money, we will stay away from the border towns and take the whole family to Jiangnan."

The two women didn't feel any guilt at all and were very skillful in their techniques.

The cigarette had burned out, and when the old woman was about to go down to arrest someone, Hong Jin suddenly appeared, throwing the old woman in with the same two hand knives.

creak creak...

Just after finishing all this, the sound of shoes stepping on the snow came again from the path in the courtyard.

Someone is here again!
