Yan Yu felt like the hairs on her hair were standing on end at this moment!
Her brain was still reacting, but her hands and feet were the first to slap the donkey heavily.
The donkey brayed and rushed in quickly.
Yan Yu looked towards where the sound was coming from, but before she could see clearly, Brother Menzi picked her up, put her on the ground, turned around, closed the door and kicked the threshold...
The movements are completed in one go.
There was a loud noise outside the door, and the sudden arrival of Beirong caught everyone off guard.
The shopkeepers closed their doors, and the hawkers hurriedly ran on the street, shouting as they ran, spreading the news that Beirong was killing Huju.
The children's cries became lower and lower under the adults' scoldings.
It can only be said that children who grow up in border towns are more sensible and aware of the importance than those in other places.
The sound of heavy running was chaotic and overlapping, and it was hard to tell whether they were running in which direction or in which direction...
Yan Yu and Brother Menzi stood inside the door. Just listening to the movement outside, one could imagine how chaotic the street was.
Brother Menzi pulled out a knife from nowhere and held a stick in his other hand.
There is no one left with a stick or a right sword.
"Boy, go find your father. Don't be afraid. We are used to it if Beirong doesn't come every year. Go quickly."
Brother Menzi, you would be more able to convince me if your legs didn't tremble.
Yan Yu got on the donkey and ran rampant in the government office.
Fortunately, the donkey cart is narrow and flexible. If I were driving an ox cart today, it would not be so smooth to travel through the government office.
As soon as Yan Yu's donkey cart turned the corner, she saw her father and her brother running toward them anxiously.
"Dad, brother, come up quickly, let's rush out!" Yan Yu shouted.
Donkeys can run very fast, even if they are carrying a cart, they can take small paths and walk through the mountains without being overtaken.
"Okay!" Yan Laoer and his daughter had the same thought. If they don't run away now, how long will it take?
Donkeys are easy to run around with.
Yan Xiangheng was shouted by one of them and pushed onto the donkey cart by the other.
Yan Laoer also hurriedly sat down, and the two of them, plus the things they had just bought, crowded around each other.
"Daughter, go quickly!" Yan Laoer urged.
"Sit tight!"
Yan Yu's instructions to turn left and right quickly led back to the original route.
Brother Menzi said he wouldn't let her go out.
"The city gate must be closed outside! Even if you go out of this gate, you can't get out of the city gate surrounded by tigers. Go back quickly and find a place to hide. It'll be fine. Just wait until Beirong leaves."
In just a short time, many tables, chairs and benches were brought in, blocking the small door tightly.
When Yan Yu saw this situation, he didn't waste any time and asked the donkey to turn around.
Yan Xiangheng murmured: "The city gate is closed..."
They are trapped in Huju City!
Yan Laoer slapped him hard and said, "Don't be dazed. Hold on to our things and we will definitely be able to go out."
Yan Xiangheng hugged a package subconsciously.
Yan Yu pursed her lips and rushed to the small door on the other side.
The situation is much the same.
Thinking back on the people I met along the way, they were all heading towards the gate...
She gritted her teeth and directed the donkey to go there.
It was getting late, it was just after the government office was closed, and many people in the government office had left. But when the donkey cart arrived at the gate, the Yan family saw that all the government officials who had left had returned.
Some are fine, and some are described as embarrassing.
Zaoban's ten thousand men were ordering his troops.
"Hurry up your steps and don't dawdle. Is the soap class all here? Come up to the city wall with me!"
A police officer in black clothes rushed out of the gate and disappeared into the crowd.
The door is wide open.
But Yan Yu did not drive out.
Liang Manshan saw them and ran over in a hurry.
"Why are you here, waiter, you..."
"Uncle Liang, what's going on now? Is the city gate closed?" Yan Yu's voice had the tenderness of a child, but also a calmness beyond her age.
"The guard post fell, and for some reason the news was not sent in time. Beirong entered the gate! Alas! Fortunately, we reacted quickly and closed the city gate first, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Liang Manshan said thankfully.
"So fast!" Yan Laoer exclaimed and asked urgently: "How could the guard station be lost? It wasn't just built over there...how could it be?"
Liang Manshan was also very puzzled: "It shouldn't be the case. No matter what happens, there will still be time to send a message, so we won't be in such a hurry."
"Where are the gentlemen? Why are they missing?" Yan Laoer looked around and saw no one.
"The second master went to guard the barn, the third master led people to patrol the city to calm the people's hearts, and the eldest master... went up to the city wall."
"What?!" The Yan family were all shocked.
"How could the eldest master ignore his own safety? What would happen if something unexpected happened!" Yan Xiangheng's tone was wrong.
"I tried hard to persuade you, but the eldest gentleman didn't listen... Let's not talk about it for now. Brother Huai'an, we don't know Huju very well, and we have nowhere to go. As things have come to this, instead of trying your luck outside, it's better to stay in the Yamen.
Now, the eldest master has sent people to Yongning to ask for reinforcements. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, the danger of the siege can be solved immediately."
Liang Manshan was still calm. He believed that as long as they defended Huju, reinforcements would definitely arrive.
"Huju is surrounded... Beirong has come in..." Yan Yu's heart tightened and she realized a very serious problem.
Huju has a city to defend, but what about the villages under his rule? What about the towns?
And Xiaoan Village!
They have no walls to protect them, no ground to defend!
The purpose of Beirong entering the pass was very clear. They wanted to steal money, food and people.
If Huju can't close the door, will they just wait outside?
Will not.
If it were her, she would definitely divide her troops, and just a few teams of troops could make the people in Huju fall on their backs and bleed like rivers.
Yan Yu: "What if Beirong goes to rob the village? Will they come to our village?"
Liang Manshan no longer felt as stable as before, and the sweat on his forehead instantly condensed and fell off.
"Beirong came for food!"
Yan Yu's mind is extremely calm. To be precise, she is calmer than anyone here. She is such a person who can often burst out with extraordinary potential in crises.
All the clues were intertwined like threads and emerged in her mind one by one.
I couldn’t understand it before, but now I understand it all at once!
grain!
"They sneaked into Huju territory in advance and pretended to be grain merchants to collect grains from various villages. Maybe they wanted to check out the sites, or maybe... they wanted to gather the grains!"
Yan Laoer was infected by his daughter's calmness and calmed himself down. He followed her thoughts and said: "If we hadn't intervened, the food would have fallen into their hands and the guard station would have been lost... Hiss! Everything would have gone smoothly.
Transported out of customs."
He quickly said again: "Don't be afraid if you give me money. It's only a few days and the money won't be spent much. As long as they can come in, they can get the money back!"
Yan Yu then said: "Their money is our money. It was stolen from us. They are not worried..."
Beirong regards Guanzhou as a granary and a silver bag, and they come to grab whatever they need. This has always been the case.
