Qin Yining was guarded in the middle, and the sound of swords and soldiers colliding was incessant. She was guarded tightly, but if Lu Heng sent more people for a long time, they would not be able to escape!
The group gradually became outnumbered, and in order to protect Qin Yining comprehensively, they had to fight and retreat. But just as Qin Yining thought, the number of people on the other side gradually increased, and Jing Zhe and others became more and more difficult to move.
"It won't work like this, we're afraid we won't be able to hold on to the inn." Jing Zhe whispered.
Before Qin Yining could answer, there was another sound of mixed footsteps approaching.
"Master, you can't go on like this." Ji Yun took Qin Yining's hand with a serious expression and ran to the nearby alley. The rest resisted the pursuers in a semicircle and fought and retreated.
"We must find a hiding place!"
Qin Yining ran out of breath, "But, where are we going to hide now?"
Looking around, the street market was quiet, except for the chasing soldiers behind and Jing Zhe and others fighting, the street was silent, and the people who were gradually released did not dare to stay on the street at all, and they locked the door when they returned home.
Where can they hide
At this moment, everyone turned the corner and came to the Huichuan County Yamen.
At this time, the gate of the yamen was closed, and more troops and horses gathered outside the door, obviously to attack the yamen.
Qin Yining was shocked. There were more and more opponents. How could they be good
His thoughts changed, Qin Yining immediately took out the seal that was hidden in his waist to prove the identity of Prince Zhongshun and stuffed it into Jiyun: "Go to the side door, just say it's me!"
"Yes!"
Everyone hurriedly retreated to the alley where the side door was located.
Due to the narrow alley, the chasing soldiers could not swarm in, which greatly eased the impact. In addition, they came by coincidence. Lu Heng's people had just arrived at the main entrance, and before they had time to arrange them at the side entrance, everyone quickly arrived in front of the side entrance.
When Jing Zhe and others resisted, Ji Yun pulled Qin Yining and slammed the door hard, "Open the door! The princess is here! It's Prince Zhongshun, open the door!"
Someone was walking inside the door, but the door was not opened immediately.
The chasing soldiers obviously heard Ji Yun's voice, and they were amazed. They attacked even more fiercely without fear of death. Jing Zhe and the others were already covered in blood.
Qin Yining pursed her lips and said loudly, "You take me in, the lord will definitely send someone to rescue me, and then you can escape!"
Xu is that Prince Zhongshun's reputation is too loud, or maybe they also want to use the prince's troops to pacify the chaos, the side door was finally opened with a gap, and the two officers waved: "Come on! Come in!"
Ji Yun hurriedly pulled Qin Yining into the door.
Jing Zhe and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and they also retreated and entered the side door of the yamen one after another.
The officer hurriedly closed the side door, fastened it with a latch, and searched for a heavy object to hold it against the door.
Qin Yining looked around and saw that there were many officers standing in the yard, all of them were guarding the surroundings tightly, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
The leading officer shook his head: "If the opponent uses fire to attack, there is no chance of winning."
Qin Yining nodded solemnly, "Where is your county magistrate?"
As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man walked quickly with several followers.
Seeing Qin Yining, the man paused for a moment, then saluted, "Lu Weigui, the magistrate of Huichuan, see the princess."
"Master Lu is exempted from the ceremony." Qin Yining asked worriedly: "I think Lu Heng is completely opposed. Does Master Lu have a charter?"
Lu Weigui frowned so hard that a fly could be caught, and shook his head sadly. "Returning to the princess, there is really nothing that Xiaguan can do. There are quite a lot of thieves and horses. If they really swarmed up, these people among them would not be opponents at all. Xiaguan is already ready to die for the country."
With the temper of the sage, such a big rebellion broke out. If Lu Weigui did not apologize for his death, he was afraid that all the nine clans in the family would be implicated.
Qin Yining nodded reluctantly, and the officers who were all around him comfortably said, "Don't worry, Lu Heng will not launch a fire attack on the yamen for the time being."
Everyone looked over suspiciously. Because Qin Yining lived in Huichuan County for a long time, everyone knew her well, and they knew Pang Xiao's famous name, so they respected Qin Yining more.
Therefore, even though a female classmate spoke up, the crowd did not show any contempt.
Qin Yining said: "On the square just now, although Lu Heng did not care about the life and death of the people, he seemed to put honey on his mouth, and he was playing emotional cards. And if he really wanted to keep a good memory, he wouldn't be struggling. He summoned people to speak, but directly ordered people to slaughter the city.
"So, Lu Heng obviously has a plan, and he still hopes that Huichuan County will be safe and secure for later use. If a fire attack on the yamen is really used, the people will be panicked. It's a big problem. Lu Heng is a smart person, and he won't kill us before he's done, which will bring him extremely bad consequences."
Qin Yining's voice was slow and slow, and all the officers who listened to him nodded.
Lu Weigui was also stunned, and said with admiration: "What the princess said is very true, but the officer lost his sense of proportion in a hurry. It really happened suddenly, and the officer only had time to close the door."
Fortunately, the yamen is different from the courtyard walls of ordinary people's homes, otherwise they may not be able to keep it now.
Just as everyone was talking, the commotion of footsteps outside the door had stopped.
An elder's voice crossed the courtyard wall: "The ignorant ruler has no way, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the people. Are you, the servants at the yamen, willing to be the stooges of the ignorant ruler? Open the door quickly, and we will never hurt the lives of innocent people like you. If you fight with all your might, you might lose more than you gain!"
The voice fell, and another younger voice said: "Call out Princess Zhongshun, and I will definitely not kill anyone in the yamen!"
"Yes! Hand over the princess!" The man outside roared loudly.
Lu Weigui's face was pale, his hands were shaking, he looked at Qin Yining hesitantly and worriedly.
Qin Yining didn't show any fear at all, and sneered: "You see, the other party is determined to occupy this place. At this time, the most important thing is to defend them while the things in the city are not over, and delay the time to wait for the rescue of the court."
Huichuan was too close to the capital, and there was an imperial mausoleum here, and it was maliciously destroyed with kerosene. How can someone with such a temperament Li Qitian tolerate? Rebels say that they will occupy Huichuan when they occupy Huichuan. Where is Li Qitian's dragon power
Therefore, Qin Yining concluded that the reinforcements would soon arrive.
Lu Weigui also nodded, "Don't worry, Princess, I will be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and I will not allow the scoundrels and thieves to make trouble!"
After a few words, everyone's belief was strengthened, and all the officers did not want to hold the moment and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, everyone was indifferent to the clamor of Lu Heng's men outside the door, and only arranged the surrounding more closely.
Seeing this, Qin Yining knew that nothing would happen for the time being, so he turned around and told Jing Zhe and the other eight people, "Your injuries are not serious, so hurry up and deal with them. It's alright here for the time being."
How could Jing Zhe and others feel at ease to leave Qin Yining here alone, but they refused to hear the words, "Don't worry, Princess, we have rough skin and thick flesh, this is all skin trauma, and it doesn't matter."
