Chapter 281 Help
Guo An was slashed on the back. The incision was deep and blood flowed profusely. He also lost too much blood and passed out.
The clothes on the back of the guard carrying him were soaked with blood.
Xia Zihan was shocked when he saw it.
He hurriedly said to He Donglin, "Captain He, send Guo An to the master quickly."
He Donglin took Guo An from the guard's back and flew away using Qinggong.
Xia Shiming looked at their leaving figures and was very worried, "Yu Niang, Guo An has been following his father since he was a child. He has long treated him as a family member. Now that he has saved his life, you must find a way to save him." He saved.”
"Dad, don't worry, Master, he will do his best to save Guo An."
He was only hit by a knife. Although the knife edge looked scary, as long as it did not hurt any vital parts, he would not die in the hands of the master.
She then ordered all the injured boys and guards to go to Old Man Bai's yard to bandage their wounds.
However, a group of female relatives such as Xu and Xia Ziying experienced a thrilling bloody battle and were greatly frightened. They were all shaken out of their wits and extremely frightened.
After entering the Chu family's gate, they couldn't help crying anymore.
The dozen or so maids and women who had narrowly escaped death were also terrified, their whole bodies were trembling and they collapsed on the ground. Their legs were so weak that they could not get up.
Xia Zihan still had a cold face and said coldly, "If you want to attract the refugees, then keep crying, but don't even think about dragging more than a hundred people from the Chu family to die with you."
The words are very clear. If you cry again, I will throw you out.
Xia Ziqing and Xia Zilan were so scared that they did not dare to cry. Even Mrs. Xu choked and her voice became much softer.
It seemed that he was quite frightened by the refugees.
Xia Ziying looked at her lovingly and choked with sobs, "Second sister, we and our mother and father just escaped death. Why don't you have any sympathy and still want to drive us out?"
"If I hadn't missed you, do you think you would be here right now?"
Huh, how long have you been thinking about putting a shit basin on her head?
If her father hadn't been here, it would be strange that she would have allowed Butler Cui to send guards to pick them up from Xia's house.
Xia Ziying bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, looking like she had been greatly wronged.
She just hates her second sister, very much.
While they were in a state of utter disarray and were frightened by the refugees, the second sister was clean and elegant. She was superior to others and commanded all the servants of the Chu family to obey her orders.
Why?
Is it because the second sister is the granddaughter of the Chu family and she is not?
So the Chu family belongs to the second sister, not hers?
So if the second sister didn't exist, would the Chu family be hers?
Xia Ziying suddenly thought suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
What was she thinking?
How could she have this idea if her second sister didn't exist?
Xia Ziying's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xia Zihan's eyes again.
Xia Shiming was led by Manager Lu to the courtyard where he originally lived, while Xia Zihan took Xu and others to the guest courtyard and asked them to wash up first.
"Nuanyu, go and prepare some clothes for each of the ladies and ladies."
The Xia family fled in such a hurry that they didn't have time to bring anything out, not even a change of clothes.
Fortunately, she has a lot of clothes, and the three Xia Ziqing sisters still have some to change, but Xu... Xu can't wear her clothes, so I'm afraid she will have to suffer some injustice and temporarily wear other people's clothes.
After Mrs. Xu and others had finished washing, Mrs. Zeng, who had received the news, was carried over on a shoulder cart by two women.
After Mrs. Xu led the three girls to salute her, Mrs. Zeng said happily, "It's good if everything is fine, nothing is as important as life."
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but burst into tears, "Fortunately there are guards to protect us, otherwise we would have... the master was almost chopped off..."
Several girls were also shocked and wiped away tears with lingering fear.
It turned out that when the guards rushed to Xia's house, a group of refugees happened to break into Xia's house. The two elders and the concierge were hacked to death before they could take them away.
A few servants protected Xia Shiming and retreated to the inner house. They hurriedly closed the hanging flower door and narrowly escaped death.
But before she could take a breath, there was a sound of kicking at the hanging flower door.
Xia Shiming ordered the boy to hold something against the door. Before he could make any move, a refugee climbed over the wall and jumped in.
The maids and women were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands, screaming everywhere.
Mrs. Xu, Xia Ziqing, Xia Ziying, and Xia Zilan were also frightened and hid in the room, huddled together and shivered.
The refugees entered the inner house, raised their knives and started hacking randomly, killing two women and a boy in the blink of an eye.
When he saw several boys protecting Xia Shiming and escaping inside, a refugee chased them and slashed at them randomly, injuring three or four boys.
If Guo An hadn't been afraid of death and blocked Xia Shiming's knife, the knife would have hit Xia Shiming's head.
When the refugee raised his sword again, Chu Zhai's guards arrived, and a long sword flew into the refugee's chest, saving Xia Shiming's life.
Fortunately, there were not many refugees who broke into the Xia family, only three of them. The ten guards quickly killed the three of them, and then protected the Xia family all the way to the Chu residence.
Later, based on the fox's information, Xia Zihan found out that the three refugees had sneaked into the city early and planned to kill everyone and disrupt the capital at the right time.
Before they broke into Xia's house, they had already killed three families.
At that time, Xia Zihan felt cold in his heart.
If the second housekeeper Cui hadn't sent guards to the Xia family to pick them up before he entered the gate after he came back, he might not have been able to rescue the Xia family in time.
Afterwards, Xia Zihan was very grateful to Butler Cui.
This is something for the future, let’s not mention it for now. ……
Mrs. Zeng chatted with Mr. Xu for a while, then returned to her yard in a carriage. Xia Zihan called the kitchen steward to arrange dinner for everyone.
"Eat something simple. Just boil some noodles, fry some egg patties, and stir-fry a few side dishes." Xia Zihan said.
Everyone was restless and couldn't eat anything. Eating simpler would save time and effort.
After the manager left, Xia Zihan went to Zeng's house.
Not long after, screams, fighting sounds, calls for help, etc. were heard in the distance.
Gradually, the sound got closer and closer, and it seemed that the sound was not far from Chu's house.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, their hearts trembled with fear, and their hair stood on end.
Soon, a maid came and said, "Old madam, County Lord, it's not good, there are refugees... here..."
"Why are you panicking? If you have something to say, please calm down." Mrs. Zeng scolded with a low face.
The maid took a deep breath and then said calmly, "There are refugees kicking down the door."
"Where's Captain He?"
"With guards at the top door."
"Then why are you panicking? The walls of this house are high and bad guys can't climb in. As long as you guard the door, you won't be afraid that they can break in."
Having said that, what if it happens?
That eventuality makes everyone feel very anxious.
Xia Zihan stood up and said, "Grandma, don't go out here with your aunt. I'll go out and take a look."
"What are you going to do as a little girl when the guards are here?" Mrs. Zeng hurriedly pulled her and refused to let her go. "What if you run into a refugee? How will you let your grandmother survive?"
"Grandma, don't worry, I can protect myself."
Seeing that Xia Zihan could still laugh and look relaxed, Mrs. Zeng remembered that Xia Zihan was different from other wealthy ladies in that she had good martial arts skills.
Zeng let go, but still said worriedly, "Then you have to be careful. If the refugees break in, you should go back to the inner house quickly. Just let He Donglin handle the matters in the front yard."
"Yeah, I'm just going to take a look."
She just felt a little uneasy, as if there was something she had forgotten.
What is going on?
Xia Zihan rushed to the front yard and saw that the door was held up by two thick pieces of wood, and the sound of the door being kicked hard again and again came from outside.
On the side, He Donglin had a stern look on his face and was full of evil spirits. He led twenty guards, holding long swords and broadswords, and was ready for a fight at any time.
Seeing her coming, He Donglin calmed down in an instant and came over to greet her, "County Lord, it's dangerous here, why are you here."
"Let me take a look."
She stared at the door that had been kicked loose, and then moved her eyes to the courtyard wall.
The wall of the outer courtyard of Chu's house is nearly three meters high and half a meter thick. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb in without tools.
But once you have the tools, getting in is as simple as searching a bag to get something.
Xia Zihan's face changed slightly, and he ordered He Donglin, "Send someone to get bows and arrows quickly. The more the better."
He Donglin didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, his expression changed and he ordered five guards, "You go to the warehouse and get all the bows and arrows."
"Captain, there aren't many bows and arrows...I'm afraid it's not enough."
"Take as much as you have." Better than nothing at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark head appeared on the wall of the courtyard. The man glanced into the courtyard and was about to turn over quietly and come in, when Xia Zihan saw him with sharp eyes.
Without saying a word, she pulled out the long sword from the waist of the nearest guard and shot that man in the chest.
The man screamed and fell down.
This scene shocked all the guards. They didn't seem to expect that Xia Zihan would do this again, and they attacked ruthlessly without hesitation.
At this time, two more thieves climbed up the courtyard wall. Xia Zihan said with a cold face, "What are you still doing? The thieves are about to enter the courtyard."
The guards came to their senses, then drew out their swords and pounced on the two thieves who jumped down from the courtyard wall.
Fifteen people versus two people.
Before the two men could stand up, they were chopped into pieces by a group of guards. Their screams kept shocking.
Soon, the guards came with bows and arrows.
There were only ten bows and more than twenty arrows. He Donglin took them and threw the bows to the best bow-pullers in the escort team, while keeping one for himself.
Xu Shi died a few people in succession, and there was a silence outside the courtyard wall, as if everyone had left.
But Xia Zihan's heart was trembling.
She had a feeling that no one outside had left.
Soon, there was another sound of fighting outside, as if there was someone outside.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door, "Open the door quickly and save our princess...Hurry..."
