Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Let's not mention how Nian Gengyao said that his subordinate officials would lead troops to support him.

Let's talk about Kangxi and Fourth Master.

It is estimated that the other party did not expect them to discover the clue so quickly, nor did they expect them to kill the carbine, and the road back to Zhuangzi was unexpectedly smooth.

After entering Zhuangzi, the fourth master heaved a sigh of relief:

"Ask a few people to stand guard at the intersection, and report back as soon as there is any news, Grandma Sun, you are the most familiar in the village, so you can arrange it."

He really doesn't know the manpower and arrangements in this village, and he can't send people around indiscriminately, so as not to cause more chaos.

Grandma Sun was not polite, and called Li Yan:

"I'm afraid that there will be thieves coming in from outside, so I called Qi Qingzhuang, and guarded the village with the guns, so that no one will come in."

"Yes, can the protection be activated?"

"Get ready, the emperor can't make any mistakes with us, no matter how careful you should be."

"Yes!"

Li Yan immediately went down to make arrangements.

Nian Shunyao was surprised to see Kangxi and Fourth Master come back so soon:

"Did something happen?"

"I met a thief, don't worry, someone has already sent someone to rescue him."

Nian Shunyao stood up:

"Where's Jin'er?"

Fourth master was silent, he really couldn't explain it, so he said at the time that he would do it, Jinyao was worried about his children, so didn't he worry about her?I just hope she can escape smoothly.

Kangxi sighed:

"It was I who dragged her down, don't worry, even if she is captured by thieves, I will definitely rescue her back intact."

Kangxi didn't think that the life of the emperor was valuable and that other people's lives were not. He knew it was his fault but he wouldn't say it.

Nian Shunyao clenched his fists, turned and left.

Fourth Master patted his restless daughter, wanting to put her down, Ning Chuge hugged his neck tightly:

"Ama, I'm afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, Ama is here!"

Holding her in his arms, he caught up with Nian Shunyao who was walking out:

"Are you going out?"

"The protection in Zhuangzi is enough to support the arrival of rescuers, as long as you don't leave the village, don't make random arrangements."

"I'm asking you!"

Nian Shunyao looked at Fourth Master coldly:

"I want to go out to find my sister. Ningchuge and Hongzhi can't lose their mother! My mother can't lose their daughter either!"

Fourth master took a deep breath:

"Okay, when I arrange the next two children, I will go with you."

Nian Shunyao looked at him for a while, saw that his eyes were sincere, nodded, his face became much more relaxed:

"It's enough for you to have this kind of heart. Jin'er's arrangement is very reasonable. You still have to be responsible for the safety of the emperor, so you can't leave it easily. Send someone into the city to inquire about the situation. It stands to reason that the rescuers should arrive by now. Now I haven’t heard any news, so I’m afraid there may be some accident.”

Only then did the fourth master know that it was not that Nian Shunyao was not good at common affairs, but that he was blocked by the presence of an excellent brother.

"Currently thieves surround Zhuangzi, and it is difficult to get out. How do you go out and find someone?"

Nian Shun Yaomo:

"There is always a way."

No matter what, he couldn't wait like this.

The Jianghu people chasing Siye's carriage did not realize that there was Kangxi in the carriage until they reached Zhuangzi. Now they knew that they had been fooled, and immediately recruited people to enter Zhuangzi.

There was a lot of shouting outside Zhuangzi, Nian Shunyao frowned, but finally did not mention Zhuang Xunjinyao again.

Right now, protecting the child and Kangxi is the most important thing. Although there are arrangements in Zhuangzi, after all, he has not really tried it, and he dare not take risks. With Jinyao's intelligence, even if he is caught, he can survive for a while. When something happened, he couldn't explain it to her.

After thinking about it, Nian Shunyao called Li Yan's family over:

"It will be useful for a while to call idle young women and older children together."

"Yes, third master!"

The faces of Li Yan's family were all white, but they were still able to remain calm and carry out the orders of the master.

Nian Shunyao went to his yard, where there were many ready-made materials and tools, he called some of his personal attendants, and accompanied him to make some simple catapults.

When done, take the car outside.

There were only a dozen or so people on the other side, and if reinforcements from one's own side didn't arrive, neither did the other side, which was "fair".

The two-meter-high fence guarded a lot of men from the village. Whenever they met a Jianghu person who wanted to climb the wall with light work, they would shoot it down with a shovel. A group of several people actually guarded the wall firmly. No one was asked to come in.

Kangxi was calm on the surface, but the fingers holding the teacup turned white, obviously his heart was not as chic as the surface.

He thought more about it. Who would want him not to be able to return to Beijing at this time of year?

In fact, there are many speculations in my mind, but all of these need evidence to prove.

Hearing that Nian Shunyao had built several catapults in such a short period of time, Kangxi couldn't help but go outside to have a look.

Compared with the catapults used in the military, this one is indeed very simple, but it has a lot of functional parts. It is just that buckets are tied to the place where the stones should be thrown. Women and children keep bringing water over. According to the instructions of the people on the wall, where people voted.

Immediately, there was a sound of cursing outside the wall.

Kangxi almost burst out laughing, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, you pour water on people's heads and bodies, but it's narrow enough, but I have to say that although the move is a bit damaged, the lethality is very amazing.

No matter how good a person in the Jianghu is, he is also a human being, and he is afraid of the cold in winter. His body and head are wet, and when the wind blows, it will freeze solid in less than half an hour. How can he fight?

So there was supposed to be a fierce battle, but the opponent couldn't stand the cold within half an hour and retreated!

Nian Shunyao was not happy with Kangxi's praise, so he recruited a dozen strong men, plus his own attendants, and went out of the village to find Jinyao.

After thinking about it, fourth master also planned to follow him to find someone.

Entrust Ningchuge and Hongzhi to Nanny Sun.

I don't want Grandma Sun to be unable to stay, so I have to follow.

It's going to be a mess again.

Nian Shunyao spoke uncharacteristically:

"My lord should sit here. We're all gone. The family members will lose their backbone. These thieves will definitely come again. It's getting late. I'm afraid I won't be able to settle down tonight, and I won't be able to live without them."

Grandma Sun also nodded:

"Third master's words are very true. Er Gege is frightened. Now that the master is not here, you will be even more afraid of leaving her. Hongzhi doesn't think he is young, but he is actually sensible. The most important thing is for the prince to appease the little master and protect the emperor, master. There is not much impact if one more person or one less person goes to search there."

If there is too much of one place, I don’t think it’s too much, if there’s one less, the same can work, and if one place can’t be separated from me, does fourth master still need to think about it? It’s just that he feels ashamed and blames himself for not being able to find Jinyao in person to fulfill his responsibilities as a man. He really isn’t. A good one to rely on!

Nian Shunyao and Nanny Sun took people to look for Jinyao, while the fourth master arranged for manpower to guard the village in batches, and also sent people back to Beijing to contact his subordinates and investigate the situation in Beijing.

After working for a long time, I realized that I forgot that the emperor was sitting alone in the hall.

"Huang Ama, my son will take you to rest. I can't go today, and I don't know what else will happen tonight. Why don't you take advantage of the quiet time to rest your mind?"

Kangxi shook his head:

"You go about your business, you don't need to wait on me, I'll just wait for you Fujin and the others to come back here."

It was the first time that Kangxi encountered such a thing after he was an adult, and his feelings were deep and complicated.

After seven o'clock, the sentry in Zhuangzi spread the news that dozens of people came to Zhuangzi.

Fourth master was originally squinting his eyes on the kang with the two children in his arms, thinking about what happened today, when he heard the news, he almost sat up straight away, waking the two children up.

Leaving the bedroom lightly, waved someone to go outside to answer.

"Can you see how many people there are?"

"It's pitch black and you can't see clearly. The other party didn't light a torch. I counted roughly, no less than 50 people!"

"50 people?"

Fourth master and Kangxi both gasped.

If there were only fifty ordinary thieves, they wouldn't be so worried. There were about three hundred people in the village, and there were only about eighty young and strong men. There were more than ten people who were taken away by Nian Shunyao, leaving only about seventy.

These seventy people can deal with ordinary people for a while, but they are not opponents at all when they meet those people from the rivers and lakes. As long as they are approached by the opponent, they are likely to be killed in one round. How can fourth master not worry?

Gao Wuyong stood up with swollen eyes:

"My lord, don't worry. The master is fully prepared here. Please take the emperor and the little masters to the secret passage to hide. There are servants watching here, so nothing can be messed up!" He is Jin Yao's confidant, and he knows a lot of secrets in the village. , at least he knows about secret ways.

Fourth Master nodded:

"Since you know the secret way, then quickly lead the way for the emperor, and stay there to serve the emperor temporarily." Someone carried Ning Chuge and Hongzhi who were asleep, and the fourth master touched them one by one, and asked Haosheng, who was serving them, to take care of them. Good little masters.

Kangxi sighed and did not refuse.

He would only add burden and pressure to his son here, it would be more convenient to hide.

Pat fourth master on the shoulder:

"Don't forget that you also have an old father waiting for you to pick him up safely!"

Fourth master's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily.

Bucket after bucket of water was brought over.

This time, even if he threw it down, he could hit people, but the opponent obviously received the order to die, and if he was frozen to death, he would attack by force and capture the emperor, or maybe he was going to kill him on the spot.

No matter what, all the men, women and children in Zhuangzi who were able to participate in the battle all came out to help.

They are not civilians, but house slaves who have been sold to death. Naturally, they have to desperately protect the master's house, their own homeland, and their own property.

Even so, there are still many people from the rivers and lakes rushing into Zhuangzi.

Li Yan stood next to Si Ye and watched the battle closely. Seeing the fallen or injured one after another, Si Ye was very moved. On the contrary, the others were really brave and did not back down.

Seeing this, Li Yan hurriedly started the second plan.

He took out a peculiarly shaped whistle and blew it a few times.

When the desperate brawny men heard about it, they all withdrew.

The Jianghu people on the opposite side still feel baffled, but they naturally want to catch up when the other party withdraws.

This pursuit is not good.

I don’t know when there were a lot of black pipes in the peach blossom forest. It was dark and I couldn’t see them clearly, but now these pipes suddenly burst into flames, igniting the fast chasers into firemen, and they were noticed just now. arrive.

The people who were chasing after a step back retreated in fear.

Seeing that there was no flame at the mouth of the nozzle, he tentatively took a few steps forward.

Unexpectedly, big arrows were shot from the place next to the pipe, and the unsuspecting person was naturally pierced, and the strong one directly pushed the person to the wall behind before stopping.

Now all the thieves were frightened, and jumped out of the wall one by one, not daring to come in easily.

Fourth master wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't expect Jinyao's Zhuangzi to be so... hard to describe.

However, he thought that it would be convenient for the other party to stop to discuss strategies, so that he could have a buffer time, but he guessed wrong.

But in 5 minutes, the opponent actually shot rockets into the yard through the courtyard wall.

This is a plan to simply burn everyone to death with a fire!

It's winter now, and all kinds of fruit trees are planted near the wall in Jinyao Zhuangzi. In winter, the trees have little water and are already flammable. In addition, the fire I sprayed just now has dried up the nearby tree trunks. Come on, it doesn't take long to burn up.

Now the people in Zhuangzi tensed up again.

It was at this moment that Nian Gengyao rushed over with his subordinates from the Firearms Battalion.
