Chapter 116 Extremely critical(1/2)
"Sisters, waiting like this is not an option."
One day in June of the third year of Jianwu, Miao Fu, the Song army garrisoned in Jiankang Prefecture, and Liu Zhengyan led his troops to rebel. Zhang Kui led his troops to seize the prime minister's house, old and young, but was killed by Zhong Peizhu, Cai Yingxue, Sun Zhichao and others.
After being defeated and fleeing, the grandmothers of the prime minister's office gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The prime minister's wife, the eldest grandmother Cai Rongxue, said in an extremely worried tone.
"How about we leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and go outside the city?" The seventh lady, Li Shi, heard this and said.
"It's inappropriate..." The third lady Xu Tingting shook her head and said: "There is chaos outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and the situation is unclear. It is very dangerous to go out like this. It is even more inappropriate to go outside the city. The situation outside the city may be even worse. I still
If I agree with Banniang’s words, I will stay in the Prime Minister’s Mansion and wait for rescue.”
If a large family like this, men and women, old and young, leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if there are hundreds of female soldiers and personal soldiers to protect them, they will be in trouble if they encounter the rebel army.
"But if you stay in the house, you won't just sit there and wait for death, right?" The sixth lady, Chen Yingluo, asked worriedly.
"Staying in the mansion does not mean just sitting and waiting to die." Xu Tingting replied: "We can send people out to contact Liu Fuyin, Cui Shangshu and others to ask about the situation and see if they can send someone to rescue us."
"Why don't you contact the officials? When the officials find out, they will bring troops back to rescue us," Chen Yingluo said.
"There is no need to go to the officials. If such a big thing happened in the city, someone must have reported it to the officials immediately." Xu Tingting shook her head after hearing this.
"Well, that's good, that's good. After Brother Guanren found out, he must have been very anxious. He must have rushed back early. When Brother Guanren came back, he would kill them all, hum!" Li heard
Yan patted his chest and let out a long breath before saying.
"But water from afar can't quench the thirst of those who are close by." Cai Rongxue heard this and shook his head: "The official is more than three hundred miles away from here. Even if he works hard, it will take at least a whole night to get back. Moreover, the official is leading a large army with
When the Japanese troops are in a confrontation, how can we easily escape?"
"Ouch, it's so far away? What should I do?" Li said worriedly after hearing this.
"Don't worry Qiniang." Xu Tingting said: "The official will definitely have arrangements. As long as we find an army loyal to the court, we will be saved."
"What Sanniang said makes sense, who can be sent to look for it?" Cai Rongxue asked after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, all the girls turned to look at the fourth lady, Cai Yingxue. At this moment, she was the only one who could go out alone.
"It depends on what I do?" Cai Yingxue said, holding the long sword at her waist: "I can go, but after I leave, who will protect my mother and the others?"
When the girls heard this, they all looked at each other and remained silent.
What Cai Yingxue said is true. Once the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot defend itself, only Cai Yingxue can protect Fu Erniang. She may be able to protect Fu Erniang from breaking out of the siege, but she can only protect Fu Erniang alone, and at most one more.
The eldest son of the Li family, Li Yuanzhan, is not good enough. No matter how capable and powerful Cai Yingxue is, she is only one person and a woman after all, so she cannot protect the whole family.
The only hope now is that the eighth lady Zhong Peizhu can withstand the rebel attack, and the longer the delay is, the better. Reinforcements will inevitably arrive if the delay is too long.
"Why don't you let Si Niang escort your mother first while Zhan'er goes out to hide?" Chen Yingluo said.
"Where to hide? There are rebels outside. When we go out, there will be
More dangerous." Xu Tingting said.
"This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?" Li asked worriedly.
"What are you arguing about?" When the girls were at a loss what to do, Wang Wen and Lan Yaoyao came over with Fu Erniang in their arms. Fu Erniang said: "I'm not going anywhere, I believe in my son. Fourth child
, you don’t have to stay by your mother’s side, you can go out and look for the army.”
"Mom, I..." Cai Yingxue hesitated after hearing this.
"Go, don't worry about mother, mother has never experienced anything? Are you afraid of these young people? Let's go quickly and find the army as soon as possible. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, will be safe, and so will we." Fu Erniang said softly.
All the girls felt a little ashamed when they heard this. They discussed for a long time, but no one mentioned the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, or the Song Dynasty court.
The rebels in the city are causing chaos, and the Prime Minister's Palace is in danger. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, will definitely be in the same situation, even far away from the Prime Minister's Palace.
"That's the only way it can be." Cai Rongxue said helplessly: "Sister, I can only help you. Be careful. Don't wear white clothes. It's too conspicuous."
"I know." Cai Yingxue glared at Cai Rongxue and said.
"Siniang, there may be a large army stationed in Jiangning County." When Cai Yingxue was leaving, Xu Tingting said to Cai Yingxue.
Cai Yingxue nodded, flew up the wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. She didn't seem to have changed out of her white dress.

"Pengpeng!" At this moment, two loud noises came from outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, which immediately startled everyone.
"Grandma, mother, and aunts." Li Sanjian's eldest son, Li Yuanzhan, raised a short sword and ran over panting and said, "The rebels are here again... The eighth aunt asked me to come over and tell you to hide first.
"
What? Here it comes again so soon? After hearing this, everyone looked in the direction where Zhong Peizhu and others were, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

"Fight in!"
"Straight bitch, how many women scared you like this?"
In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rebel general Zhang Kui led his men to kill him again. When they learned that there were many female soldiers among the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Kui and others became even more ashamed and angry, so they ordered his men to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
This time, Zhang Kui and other rebels actually brought in two crossbows to suppress the crossbowmen in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The thick arrowheads fired by the bed crossbow were like javelins. They were shot at people, killing the one who hit them immediately. They were shot at the top of the wall, and the wall was suddenly knocked out one after another. The dust and rubble were as follows.
It fell like rain, and the female guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was lying behind the wall was knocked upside down and flew out.
The rebels used crossbows to shoot at the female soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time raised their large shields high to cover the opponent's arrow rain, and slowly came towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhong Peizhu, the eighth wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, commanded the female soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the soldiers fought back desperately. However, under the intimidation of the opponent's crossbows and crossbows, the power of the Overlord Bow was greatly reduced, although it also shot down the opponent.
There were many people, but there were more rebels holding high shields and gradually approaching the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As long as the rebels reach the gate or the wall, it will almost be a close combat. The rebels can rely on their numerical advantage to rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion in one go.
The situation is becoming more and more favorable to the rebel army, and increasingly unfavorable to the Prime Minister's Office.
"Kill! Huh? What is this?
"
When the rebel army was only ten steps away from the gate and the wall, a general of the rebel army was overjoyed. He waved his sword and was about to order his men to rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Suddenly, dozens of black balls were thrown out of the wall.
"Chi" sparks flew out and fell at the feet of the rebels, spinning around in circles.
Not many people in the Song Army have seen the power of "Ye Lei". The Song Army like Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan's troops who are not directly affiliated with Li Sanjian have never seen it at all.
Li Sanjian not only equipped the female soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Overlord Bows, but also gave them some sharp Ye Lei from the Black Flag Army, and warned them to be careful when using Ye Lei. If you are not careful, you will hurt the enemy first.
