The couple were chatting, and Yuliang asked for a meeting.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Xiao Sa pondered and asked the little maid to tell him to come in.

"Seventh Master," Yuliang looked solemn, "Mr. Fang's servant asked for a meeting!"

Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing exchanged glances, and Xiao Sa got up and went to the flower hall.

Chen Muqing was worried and wanted to go to the flower hall several times, but thought that the defense between men and women was broken and returned.

After a while, Xiao Sa came back: "Mu Qing, pack up the things at home." His expression was very serious. "Master Fang sent someone to say that they found several Yuanmeng people in shape thirty miles away from Yanzhou Wei. He was afraid that they were spies of Yuanmeng people, so let us be careful - once Yuanmeng attacked the city, we would run into the mountains."

how so?

Chen Muqing was stunned and came to his senses for a long time. He hurriedly asked Mingxia and others to pack up their things, and buried some of the gold and silver jewelry under the old locust tree in the yard... After busy for a long time, he only took two small bags, which made Xiao Sa strange: "I'll put it away!"

"I buried everything that should be buried, and I have hidden everything that should be hidden," Chen Muqing whispered to Xiao Sa's where the things were hidden, "There are only some fines and a few pieces of clothes to change the clothes in the bag. I asked Yue Gui to make cakes. Then a few cakes will be stuffed into a bag."

"I thought quite thoughtfully." Xiao Sa nodded, "It's getting late, let's take a break! Maybe it's a false alarm." At the end of the sentence, he was quite self-comfortable.

"Since the house owner comes to report the news, no matter whether it is true or false, he is always kind-hearted," Chen Muqing smiled and emphasized the importance of preventing problems. "It is better to be prepared than to let fate."

Xiao Sa hugged Chen Muqing and went to the bedroom: "I will make you feel uneasy with me."

"This is not something you can decide." Chen Muqing comforted him, "Go to bed quickly. If you really have difficulty running away, I wonder if you can have a good sleep?"

"That's right!" Xiao Sa took off his clothes and went to bed with a smile.

In this case, the two of them were not sleepy and didn't want to turn over and wake up the other party. They both stood up and watched the sky turn white before falling asleep in a daze.

The next day, the waters in Huding County were not prosperous, and it was no different from usual. There was no news about Yanzhou Guard. Xiao Sa pondered for a while and went to the county school.

Chen Muqing looked at the two buckets of cakes baked by Yuelu for a night and couldn't help but feel a little amused and amused - I don't know when it will be finished!

She was worried that Mrs. Fang was visiting.

Chen Muqing hurriedly welcomed Mrs. Fang into the house.

"My master asked me to report a letter to Mr. Xiao." Mrs. Fang said straight to the point, "Last year, the people of Yuanmeng also came. Lord Zheng brought all the old and young people to the city to burn oil, and then supported the reinforcements from several other garrisons. You were young and had never experienced it. At that time, the city was not so messy, so you had to prepare some food at home."

Chen Muqing nodded and told Mrs. Fang that she had made a baked cake last night.

Seeing that she was still dissatisfied, Mrs. Fang sighed and ran to the kitchen to see the sesame cakes made by Yuelu, saying, "It's still too few. You can make some more!"

Seeing her enthusiasm, Chen Muqing thought that even if she could not eat it, she would give it to someone else, she nodded to Yuegui: "Let me do more!"

Yue Gui didn't sleep all night and responded in a daze. She asked several mothers in the kitchen to make pancakes, and she added fire to the stove. As the more you added, she fell asleep.

After seeing off Mrs. Fang, Xiao Sa came back.

Chen Muqing was startled and rushed forward: "Why are you back at this time? But is there any news from Yanzhou Guard?"

Xiao Sa looked a little solemn: "I asked Mr. Guo to watch in the county school and went outside."

"How is it?" Chen Muqing nervously pinched Xiao Sa's sleeve.

"There is no rain this spring, and it is continuous in summer and it will not stop until the end of July..." Xiao Sa looked at Chen Muqing with bright eyes, "I'm afraid that the harvest of Yuanmeng people is not very good, so I will take advantage of this cool autumn season to grab food."

War?

Chen Muqing was a little confused.

This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Sa saw his wife's expression a little sad, and hugged her tightly, as if this would give her some courage, "I'm there!"

Xiao Sa's warm arms made Chen Muqing come to his senses: "What should we do?"

"I asked. When the Yuan Meng people called me last year, the government organized young men to guard it, but not every year it could be defended as last year..." Xiao Sa pondered, "I think this matter depends on ourselves."

"What are you going to do?" Chen Muqing was a little worried, "Do you want to find a few helpers?"

Xiao Sa nodded: "So I'll discuss this with Lord Zheng later."

"Mr. Zheng?" This was another accident. Chen Muqing told him, "No matter how good he is to you, he will be an official... You are more tactful when you talk!"

"I know!" Xiao Sa smiled and comforted her, "He has a broad mind, so I will naturally speak all the words; if he is short-sighted, I will find some like-minded people to work with him. You can't just wait for death just because the ward is incompetent, right?"

Chen Muqing nodded and wanted to tell him a few words. A servant replied, "Master, Mr. Guo is here."

Xiao Sa let go of Chen Muqing: "Today I left him alone in the county school... I'll go and see what's wrong with him!"

"Then I'll go and let Yue Gui make more sesame cakes..."

"Okay!" Xiao Sa was not optimistic about the prospect, "I'll find a way to store some water."

"Yeah!" Chen Muqing responded, Xiao Sa hugged her again, and then walked out with great strides.

Chen Muqing went to the kitchen.

The laurel is still napping.

Chen Muqing woke her up and asked her to go to bed to rest. He asked Mingxia to arrange the people at home and ask them to help make pancakes for use in case of time.

The maids and mothers also heard some news. Although she didn't say it, she was more quick than usual.

Seeing that everyone was united, Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and comforted them with a smile: "It's amazing that we will visit relatives in Jinzhou."

"That's right!" Wang's mother smiled, "Grandma can also see the prosperity of Jinzhou."

"I wonder how happy the third wife is?" Xi Mai smiled.

"Yes." Huang Ying added with a smile, "The third wife will definitely take her grandmother to Guanyin Temple, where she is so effective."

"You are a little girl from every family, and you don't even stop talking." Mother Wang smiled and pointed Huang Ying's forehead, "Grandma, don't listen to her nonsense... The third wife likes to go there because the vegetarian dishes there are well cooked. Grandma has gone there, and she can really go there to play."

The atmosphere in the kitchen became cheerful, and there was no longer the depression and depression that had just happened.

"Okay!" Chen Muqing responded, but he thought in his heart that he wanted to find a way to persuade Xiao Sa to leave Shanghai Ding for the time being... If it really doesn't work, he bribed Lord Zheng and Lord Peng with a large sum of money...

When she returned to the house, Xiao Sa had not come back yet.

Chen Muqing thought of Wang's mother's words and couldn't sit still, so he tiptoed to the ear room of the flower hall.

Xiao Sa was talking to Mr. Guo.

"...It is unrealistic to leave. Not to mention that my current identity does not allow it, the towering trees next to the only official road leading to Ya'an Prefecture in Shanghai that cover the sky and the sun are the best places to ambush... If I were to do so, I would definitely send someone to ambush there. Moreover, to go to Ya'an Prefecture, you have to pass Tianquan. No one knows whether Tianquan was attacked by Yuanmeng people. The people in the city are unwilling to leave. On the one hand, they will become refugees after leaving, and on the other hand, because no one is sure to reach Ya'an Prefecture smoothly."

"You don't agree with leaving." Mr. Guo's voice was a little helpless, "It's better to risk going to Ya'an Mansion if you want to rely on the officers and soldiers of the garrison to fight against the Yuanmeng people."

Xiao Sa smiled faintly: "I think Lord Peng and Lord Zheng will make arrangements, so don't worry too much."

Mr. Guo stood up excitedly when he heard this: "Are we just watching the Yuanmeng people repeatedly invade and are helpless?" He was very angry.

Xiao Sa smiled without saying a word.

After seeing off Mr. Guo, he pulled Chen Muqing out of his ear room.

"I'm going to Lord Zheng's place!" Xiao Sa smiled, "You should rest early. Yanzhou Wei is fifty miles away. If the fight starts, you won't be able to hit you here for a while."

"Are you going to Yanzhou Guard?" Chen Muqing was very worried, "You have to be careful!"

"I get it!" Xiao Sa smiled and slapped Shen Muqing's butt, "Go and make pancakes quickly. If there is nothing to eat, I won't eat you."

Knowing that he was trying to relax himself, Chen Muqing cooperated and pouted and said coquettishly: "Call me again, so you won't even drink water."

Xiao Sa left with a laugh.

Chen Muqing went back to the house and picked a very simple brocade cloth bag, sewed many hidden bags for the bag, which would be used to hold the soft and soft things to help the life.

Xiao Sa didn't come back until the lights first came on.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Muqing hurriedly stepped forward to serve him to change his clothes and smelled the smell of soil on him.

"Not yet!" Xiao Sa's face was a little stern, "I went to Yanzhou Wei and Lord Zheng today. Lord Fang expressed his opinion. Both of them agreed with my opinion. We all agreed on several plans to defend the city... Lord Zheng and Lord Fang went to see Lord Peng, and I'll come back first."

Chen Muqing hurriedly helped him with water for washing his face.

"I'm going to go outside the city tomorrow morning." Xiao Sa wiped his face, "If the city is broken, there is a place to hide - Yuan Meng will abandon the city if he plunders his property. As long as he doesn't hurt people, he will always recover."

"Can it be possible to break the city?" Chen Muqing looked panicked in his eyes.

Xiao Sa shook her hand and nodded solemnly: "Yanzhou Guards don't even have a few decent weapons... let alone other ones."

"Be careful!" At this point, Chen Muqing could only give Xiao Sa this advice.

Xiao Sa nodded: "It won't be a problem!"

I hope so!

Chen Muqing sighed secretly in his heart and called Mingxia to bring the food on the stove.

Xiao Sa had just eaten two bites, and a servant outside reported, "Master Peng, please invite me!"

"I'm afraid it's a discussion on defending the city." He put down his chopsticks and turned around and left, "I'll come when I go."

"Put on a cloak and leave." Chen Muqing called out Xiao Sa, "It's cold at night."

Xiao Sa nodded, and Mingxia had already brought out the cloak.
Chapter completed!
