Chapter 353: Martial law in the city gates

Xiao Yulou, who was copying books in the bookstore, heard the noise and hustle and bustle sounding on the streets outside. Hearing the people around him, even the shopkeepers and the waiter brothers, standing outside the shop, talking a lot. When he pointed, Xiao Yulou couldn't calm down.

I only collected the books and papers I copied today, and thought about taking them home to copy them.

When he came out with his things to the door of the bookstore, he was telling the shopkeeper about bringing books home and copying them. The little brother next to him was sighing with other guests. Xiao Yulou looked at the so-called refugees who were sighing outside. With his sharp eyes, Xiao Yulou saw it at a glance, and the familiar stranger walking among the crowd.

Isn’t that a room full of people from the Xiao family’s big house?

Is this a refugee?

Wait, if they are refugees, then Yonggu City...

Xiao Yulou did not dare to think deeply, so he hurriedly put the book and paper in his arms, bid farewell to his familiar shopkeeper and second brother, and avoided the Xiao family's big house on the street, and with the second house's concubine and son who followed the big house, hurriedly rushed towards the direction of home.

Not far away, I saw my sister running towards me in the crowd. Xiao Yulou immediately felt a thrill of heart, thinking that something was wrong at home.

He didn't care about wearing the robe of a Confucian scholar, not being able to run on the street with rudeness, or a gentleman's style. Xiao Yulou hurriedly rushed forward and pulled his sister, "Qi'er, why are you out? Is something wrong at home?"

Xiao Yuqi stopped her steps and looked at the elder brother in front of her. The little alien was so happy that he hurriedly pulled his elder brother's sleeve and said hurriedly, "Brother, brother, hurry up, let's go and invite the doctor. My godmother is here at home. I have cubs in my belly. My mother said she would ask the doctor to see...", bar, bar.

My sister knew it herself. Although the little girl spoke a little confusedly, Xiao Yulou still successfully understood her sister's meaning. Combined with the person she saw just now, Xiao Yulou suddenly felt heavy.

However, he was calm and hurriedly held his sister's hand tightly. While walking back, he said, "Go, Qi'er, follow my brother, let's go and invite the doctor."

As soon as he stepped on his feet, he suddenly rushed out of the general's mansion in front of the county government, and it seemed that each was heading towards the four city gates, southeast, west and northeast.

The other party actually rode on the street without caring about the number of pedestrians on the street, galloping while scolding pedestrians for avoiding and urgent military affairs.

As soon as the four fast horses left, they pulled their sister to Xiao Yulou on the corner of the street and looked at the four directions where the fast horses left. His heart was even heavier. Before he could withdraw his gaze, a large group of soldiers came out of the General's Mansion. They followed behind the soldiers who were ringing the gong and shouting, holding spears while driving the people on the street.

"The whole city is immediately banned, pedestrians are allowed to go home quickly and are not allowed to stay on the streets. Violators are taken to prison and served by military law..."

As the incident happened, the brother and sister who held each other tightly together found that the pedestrians on the street accelerated their pace, and instantly became noisy and panic. The pedestrians rushed to their homes in a hurry, but even the shops and stalls along the street were packing up and closing the shops at a speed like flying.

Xiao Yulou felt a sudden slap in his heart, and he became anxious. He couldn't help but bend down and lean back and shouted at his sister, "Come up, I'll carry you away."

The situation was urgent, and Xiao Yuqi was not a pretentious child. She immediately climbed onto his elder brother's back, and was carried by his elder brother and ran towards home.

Seeing that it was the way home, Xiao Yuqi couldn't help but pat Xiao Yulou's arm, "Brother, brother, doctor, haven't hired a doctor yet..."

Xiao Yulou kept walking and ran very fast. While running, he also explained to his sister urgently, "You can't ask for it. The whole city is curfew, and the doctor will not go to the hospital at all. Let's go back first."

OK, okay, the elder brother is so good, he is definitely more experienced in handling things than himself. Xiao Yuqi can only agree with his elder brother and never expresses his opinion on the doctor's affairs again.

However, before the elder brother was waiting for her to run two more steps, she yelled at the slap again, "Brother, brother, and brother, he is not at home."

Xiao Yulou frowned when he heard this, but his steps kept running, answering without looking back, "It's okay, as long as he is still in the city and hears the gongs of the martial law curfew, your second brother will go back by himself."

"oh.".

Sure enough, when Xiao Yulou carried Xiao Yuqi back and ran home, the brother and sister met at the entrance of the big alley outside.

Seeing his brother and sister, Xiao Yuyang was in a false alarm and almost caught up with Xiao Yuyang, who had entered the city gate, wiped his sweat and ran up quickly.

Seeing that his elder brother was sweating profusely, Xiao Yuyang said nothing and snatched his sister's back. The three brothers and sisters rushed home together, communicating while running. When they arrived home, there was already no one on the streets and alleys outside...

Xiao Wenye hurried to the camp, and before he could find out the news, he found that the gate of the outer city was closed? Not only did he close the city gate, but the city inexplicably began martial law. Military orders that were not allowed to enter or leave were conveyed to the entire Huangmao City, which made Xiao Wenye's heart sink.

He couldn't leave the city, couldn't find Yao Chong, and couldn't go to Yonggu City to support him. He couldn't even know what would happen to Yao Chong asks for help from Yonggu's request for help. Xiao Wenye was as anxious as an ant on the hot pan.

In the end, there was nothing he could do. He still found the Black Iron Cavalry who had trained and had a good relationship and well-informed robe. After asking them, Xiao Wenye knew nothing about the current situation.

But it was precisely because he understood this little, that he was even more worried. He wanted to go back and tell his sister-in-law what he knew. He was not on duty during the day and had no choice but to stay in the military order for curfew throughout the city, so he could only stay in the military camp anxiously.

He was trapped in the military camp and could not go home. As a last resort, Xiao Wenye had to go to the barracks and found Gong Fanxing and Baisha, and squeezed them into the trap.

But even so, Xiao Wenye was lying on the big kang in the barracks, and people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

He was worried about his wife and children at home, and they must be anxious at this moment;

I was worried about my brothers far away in Yonggu City, and I didn’t know if they were still fine now, and I didn’t know if Yao Chong sent out a rescue team;

The foreign alliance army, which was worried about the fierce arrival, did not know where their territory in Guizhou was facing the tragic situation of life;

In this kind of worry, Xiao Wenye fell asleep in a drowsy way.

Time flies, and the night has come again from daytime, and it is time for them to go to the North City Gate to stand guard at night.
