Jin Chuiduo is tired of hiding in the house every day without seeing the light of day. This is the kind of life she lives in the Hou Mansion. , If you can get out of the cage, you must be free.
The reality is that she is more restrained than at home, the house is pitifully small, and she will receive countless curious eyes as soon as she goes out. She is prepared for this, but these people always call her "Queen Empress", but everyone is respectful. , Sincere and sincere, there is no sense of ridicule, so she can't get angry, so she can only hide in the room and go out as little as possible.
Tonight, she decided to go out and explore the way.
After dark, when he heard no footsteps outside, Jin Chuiduo said to Dragonfly, "Don't open the door no matter who comes, it's really not good... Just use the arrow to order them to leave."
"Miss, where are you going?"
"I'm going to explore the road and leave this ghost place to go to the grassland."
"Didn't the emperor say he would send us?"
"Don't listen to their nonsense. First, he is not an emperor, but he has been an emperor. Second, we are not helpless, why let him send it? He should save his own life first."
"But what if he becomes emperor again? Miss..."
Jin Chuiduo had already left, and the dragonfly said in a low voice, "Miss is worthy of being the empress."
The night was deep, and Jin Chuiduo only had a dagger on her body. She had no intention of fighting with anyone, but just wanted to find a way to escape.
There should be people patrolling the stockade. Jin Chunbao arranged it well before, but as soon as he turned around, the volunteers found a place to fall asleep. They all felt that since there were sentries outside the stockade, there was no need for him to patrol the night hard.
Jin Chuiduo went all the way unobstructed, the only thing to avoid were those guys who were sleeping in the open air on the straw mat.
She found the stable with five horses grazing. Don't panic when you see anyone.
All these horses will be taken away, she thought.
She came to the gate of the stockade again, and the guards here were more serious. At least two people were standing in the doorway, although they were also dozing off. But it is impossible to swagger out from here.
However, there are many loopholes in the wall, and there are several places that are far away from the guard's sight. Jin Chuiduo found one and drilled out, and found that it was easy to expand the loopholes so that the horses could pass.
"It's too embarrassing to be called a stockade." Jin Chuiduo whispered, and fell into the reeds before walking far. The rustling sound kept pouring into his ears, and he looked around - it was impossible to look at it here. Instead, prevent the swaying reeds from hitting the eyes.
She didn't dare to go forward, she retreated to the fence, and walked slowly along the wall.
The stockade was a little higher, and Jin Chuiduo didn't step on her feet firmly, and she slid down all of a sudden, and her clothes were stained. She was even more annoyed and decided to go back the same way and wake up the maid and her second brother Jin Chunzhong. Duo Ma directly broke out of the stockade, and suddenly heard a sound of people nearby, so he fell on the ground and did not move.
There were really two people who got out of the reeds, only ten paces away from Jin Chueduo. The two of them concentrated on watching the stockade, but they didn't see anyone lying on the slope.
"That's it, the guards don't seem to be strict," said one.
"Would you like to go in and see how many people there are?"
"You're crazy, just report a thousand."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Don't do this. Let's inquire about the enemy's situation and the number of people together. There are more than a thousand people in total. The leader lives in the largest house in the middle, and there are triple checkpoints outside the stockade. Everyone is sleeping in the stockade, understand? , once had a load."
"Yes Yes."
The two looked at it for a while, then turned around and returned to the reeds. Jin Chuiduo slowly got up and went back to the stockade along the original road. He heard footsteps before walking far, and hurriedly hid behind the wall.
The eldest brother Jin Chunbao, Zhang Yanghao and others walked side by side and stopped at the crossroads. Jin Chunbao handed out more than ten arrows and said in a low voice, "These people are very easy to deceive. If anyone has any doubts, please explain, and stop killing people. okay?"
The five of them walked in different directions.
Jin Chuiduo's heart was pounding, she quickly came to her room against the wall, and knocked gently on the door.
"Who?"
"I."
Dragonfly didn't ask any more questions this time, and immediately opened the door and dragged the young lady in, and whispered, "I'm scared to death, the eldest son came just now, I thought I couldn't hide it, but he just wanted arrows..."
"You gave him all the arrows?"
"Yeah, otherwise he won't leave."
Jin Chuanduo bit her lip and said nothing. The dragonfly touched the lady and said in surprise, "Miss fell into the water? So much wet soil."
"Don't worry about it, get ready and leave right away."
"Now?"
"Well, I can't hold it here anymore. Someone is going to attack the fortress outside, and inside... it's also a mess. If you don't run, it will be too late. Wake up the second brother, let's grab a horse and run away."
"Someone wants to attack the village, let's... don't you stay to help?"
"What's your business?"
"However, the emperor's people are good, and the elder brothers, elder sisters, uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunties here are also good. They have given us the cleanest house. Every time they come to deliver meals, they are very polite. Excitedly…”
Jin Chuiduo pushed the maid away.
"Miss… "
"I'm going to inform the old fisherman, you stay and don't let anyone in."
Jin Chuiduo came out of the house again. Chao Yongsi's residence was also the meeting room of the stockade. She knew where it was. She walked over and knocked on the door lightly, but no one answered. She was about to knock again, and found that the door was open.
Jin Chuiduo hesitated for a while, pushed the door in, and immediately closed the door behind her back. The room was pitch black, and she could see nothing.
"Old fisherman, shake Yongsi, shake the master..." Jin Chuiduo called out several times, but got no response. After listening carefully for a while, there was no snoring.
"Don't kill any more." Jin Chuiduo remembered what his elder brother had said, and felt a chill in his heart. He finally knew who the murdered person was, and quietly exited the room.
There were people walking around in the stockade, which was obviously the result of Jin Chunbao and others' orders. Before it spread to this side, Jin Chuiduo returned to his residence, and the dragonfly had been waiting at the door. When he saw the figure, he opened the door immediately.
"Have you notified Mr. Chao?"
Jin Chuiduo calmed down. "he died."
Dragonfly screamed in fright, "How could..."
"Shh, get my bow."
The dragonfly finds its bow in the dark. Hand it over to the lady, "Who did it?"
"Don't worry about it. Are there any arrows?" Jin Chuiduo skillfully bent the slack bow and wound it, but only the bow was not enough, she needed arrows.
"No, I am in a hurry to send the eldest son and give him all the arrows."
Jin Chuiduo turned around and looked out through the crack of the door. There were more people walking around in the stockade, and more people were woken up and shouted in dissatisfaction. Before long, it was all quiet.
What the hell is big brother doing? Jin Chuiduo didn't know, she only knew that there were internal and external troubles in the Hebian Village, and it was about to be broken.
"Go and call the second brother." Jin Chuiduo was shocked and wondered if the second brother would be in danger, so he immediately discarded the idea. Although the eldest and second brothers were not born by the same mother, if the second brother died, It won't be so peaceful.
"Why should I go?" Dragonfly didn't want to go out.
"I want to change." Jin Chuiduo pushed the maid out. He walked to the edge of the kang in the dark, found the bag, and pulled out a clean dress from it. Replace as soon as possible.
After waiting for a while, the dragonfly came back, called "Miss" softly, and only let Jin Chunzhong come in after getting a response.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to run away again, I feel tired..."
"Someone is going to attack the fortress, eldest brother, they may have joined the enemy."
Jin Chunzhong was stunned for a while, "How is that possible?"
"Don't believe me? Then go back to sleep. When the people outside come in, come back to me."
"No no. I believe you, but how could he..." Jin Chunzhong couldn't go on.
Dragonfly said for him: "It must be the Lord Hou who asked him to do this. The eldest son listens to Lord Hou the most."
"Stop talking nonsense, think about what to do first." Jin Chuiduo urged.
Dragonfly is a mindless person. Jin Chunzhong didn't have the ability to be in a hurry either. The two didn't say a word for a long time. Jin Chuiduo had to say: "It will be dawn soon. I guess the enemy outside must be attacking in the early morning. Second brother, you go and wake everyone up. I have a good precaution, and by the way, I want my arrows back, and try to avoid the big brother."
"Ah, but I don't know a few people..." Jin Chunzhong went to deliver a letter to Marquis Juan before, but he didn't have much contact with Yibing.
Jin Chuiduo said, "Take the dragonfly to find those uncles and aunts she knows."
"Yeah, I owe so many favors, and I paid them all at once." Dragonfly immediately pushed the door and went out.
Jin Chunzhong had no choice but to follow.
Jin Chuiduo was restless in the room. After waiting for a while, he pushed open the door and went out. He soon reached the door of his father's room. He knocked on the door lightly, and a sober voice came from inside: "Who?"
"Father, it's me, the elder brother asked me to come."
The door opened, and Marquis Guiyi looked shocked, "I'll tell him later..."
Jin Chuiduo pushed his father in, then followed up, bent the bow and drew the string, and said, "Don't move, even if it's Black Sky, I can shoot accurately."
They would have doubts when others said this, but they couldn't help but believe it was from Jin Chuiduo. The three wives and concubines didn't sleep, they hugged together on the kang and shivered. Marquis Guiyi didn't dare to move, and said angrily: "You, you Crazy."
"Father, who are you going to rely on?"
Marquis Guiyi was silent for a while, he got close, vaguely felt that there was no arrow on his daughter's bow, but it was too dark, and he was still unsure, "King of the East Sea, the Cui family will protect our safety, the Jin family will not go to the grassland, Just stay in the capital."
"Have you not had enough of the days when people are the knife and I am the fish? You actually believe in the Cui family."
"Without Prince Du, the Jin family is nothing in the grasslands!" Marquis Guiyi was even more angry, "I blame you for killing Chai Yun and driving the Jin family to a dead end."
Jin Chuiduo didn't argue, and said, "Please call my eldest brother, I'll wait here. If something happens, I'll shoot the three concubines first, and then kill myself."
The three wives and concubines hugged tighter, their teeth were fighting, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Marquis Guiyi stepped forward and threw a command arrow to his daughter, "You are disobedient and unfilial, you really have the ability, kill me first. Take the command arrow and go by yourself... Huh?"
Marquis Guiyi only showed some courage when protecting his wives and concubines, so he could see that what his daughter was pulling away was an empty bow.
However, Jin Chuiduo had already taken the arrow, said "Thank you," and turned to leave the house, "Just hide here, father, there will be chaos later, I can't protect you."
Holding a bow and arrow, Jin Chuiduo no longer hides and strode forward.
Suddenly, the sound of killing outside the village shook the sky.
