Camp Roar...
Zhang Shou's knowledge of these two words was limited to various text materials, and the image materials were basically guesses of later generations, but this did not prevent him from instantly realizing the seriousness of this matter. However, at the same time, he suddenly thought of what Zhu Ying had told him, and then he just used it to poke Zhang Chen.
When he went to look at Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying happened to be looking at him as well.
"Isn't it coming for Zhang Chen?"
"Someone must want to seek revenge on Zhang Chen!"
Zhu Ying shouted out with great confidence, and she was immediately happier when she found out that Zhang Shou also had the same idea. She glanced at the anxious Zhu Hong and said angrily, "Ah Shou and I can run away, and those playboys here can run away, but what about all the men, women and children in this village? Dad once told me that the rebels are the scariest. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil!"
My dear little ancestor, you know they are doing all kinds of evil, but you still want to resist? Zhu Hong was so anxious that the veins in his head were about to burst.
But the next moment, Zhang Shou said something that made him calm down suddenly, as if a bucket of ice water was poured over his head.
"Everyone knows that the capital city has the largest number of troops stationed at the foot of the emperor, and the defense is the most strict. There was a camp riot in the Linhai camp, and officers were killed. Logically, shouldn't the soldiers who finally escaped from the camp hide in the mountains and forests to avoid the limelight? But they did the opposite and headed straight for the capital. Are they trying to walk into a trap, or do they want to perish together with the enemy?"
Zhu Hong didn't even bother to look at Zhu Ying, whose eyes lit up with surprise and approval, and asked very carefully, "Does Mr. Shou think that this news is a fraud?"
Zhang Shou thought about it and shook his head gently: "There shouldn't be any problem with the information channel of the Zhaoguo Mansion, but is this the news that the lady passed on to you, Brother Zhu?"
"No... It's because the eldest daughter left the capital for a short stay, so the secret agent of the Duke of Zhao near the capital sent urgent news." Zhu Hong didn't have time to think about whether it was appropriate to tell Zhang Shou about this secret matter. Besides, he couldn't hide it in front of Zhu Ying. "The man came here at full speed, with a token as proof. He left as soon as he got the news. He said he was going to the capital to report to the Madam."
“Let’s not talk about whether the news is true or not. As long as Brother Zhu reveals this news in Cuiyun Room, most of the people here are children of noble families who have never experienced anything. Do you think everyone will panic and run for their lives immediately? At that time, they will push and shove, and they will hinder each other. Anything can happen... What ordinary people do in a critical situation is sometimes more terrifying than a rebellious army!”
Zhang Shou's words were extremely solemn. Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She nodded quickly and said, "That's right. I've also heard from my father that when the northern barbarians invaded, the people in the border areas fled with their elderly and children, trampling on each other. It was a horrible sight. Moreover, if someone deliberately released our people from the Zhaoguo Mansion to report the news, but planned to intercept us on our way of hasty escape, wouldn't we fall into a trap if we left?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying could understand his meaning so quickly. Zhang Shou smiled at her in appreciation and immediately added, "Yes, there is another possibility to consider. If they are not here for Zhang Chen, once someone knows that so many noble children in the capital are here, they may intercept such a group of people to threaten the court. Therefore, it may be better to hold on here and wait for help than to rush back to the capital."
