Chapter 124: Palace Change (3)
Yuxi was more than a quarter of an hour away from the main courtyard, and even if Yuxi used the fastest speed this time, it took nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the main courtyard.
The main courtyard has become a mess at this time. Qiu Shi was startled when he saw Yuxi, took Yuxi's hand and said, "You stupid girl, why don't you stay in the yard and run around?" Did you know that it's dangerous right now? "Just now she got the news and knew that there were a group of bandits attacking the Guogong Mansion, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul.
Yuxi saw that the Qiu clan looked like he was going out, and asked, "Auntie, are you going to go to your grandmother?" ”
Qiu Shi nodded and said, "There are people who have the audacity to attack the Guogong Mansion, and there must be chaos outside." I've got to look at the old lady now, or I don't know what to do? ”
Yuxi asked, "Auntie, what about the sister-in-law?" ”
Qiu said: "I have already ordered someone to call your sister-in-law, let your sister-in-law go to the upper room." Yuxi, let's go to the upper room too. ”
Yuxi stood still and said, "Auntie, or we will wait for my sister-in-law here." Sister-in-law is here, let's go to the hospital together! "Yuxi is stalling for time, she is reluctant to go to the upper court. There's no reason, just don't want to.
Qiu Shi is not stupid, after listening to Yuxi's words, he knew what she meant, and he didn't have time to grind at this time, so he asked directly: "Yuxi, don't you want to go to the room?" You ......" Qiu originally wanted to say if you still have a grudge, but she couldn't ask this sentence. When the old lady treated Yuxi like this, if Yuxi said that she didn't resent her, she wouldn't believe it.
Yuxi knew what she was thinking when she looked at Qiu's appearance, she didn't answer this, but just said, "Auntie, it's nearly a quarter of an hour away from the upper courtyard here." If we go first, my sister-in-law meets a thief on the road, what if she is a pregnant woman? ”
Qiu was hesitant.
Yuxi said: "Auntie, if there are no thieves, you are naturally not afraid. But if a thief enters the inner courtyard, what if we run into it on the road? At least there is a high wall and gate here, but when we meet us on the road, we can only become lambs to the slaughter. ”
Qiu said, "It's impossible for thieves to come in. ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No one can say for sure." It's good that there are no thieves, but if there are thieves, what can the eldest aunt do when she goes to the upper courtyard? "Although Qiu is a girl from a military general's family, she has not practiced martial arts, and she is also a weak woman.
Li's mother was a little anxious: "It's not safe for us to stay in the yard!" "The best thing to do is to find a safe place to hide. But now, where is the safe place?
Yuxi said very calmly: "What I am most afraid of now is not those bandits in the main courtyard, but I am afraid that someone will fish in troubled waters and come in from somewhere else." There were thieves coming in, there were high-walled gates, and we were able to resist them for a while. When the front yard gets the news, someone will definitely be sent to help. "The walls of the upper courtyard are not as high as here, and the gates are not as strong as here. In addition, in addition to the front and back doors of the upper courtyard, there are also side doors and side doors, and it is good that there are no thieves, but if there are thieves, these are all hidden dangers. Of course, the most important thing is that Yuxi is unwilling to take risks for the old lady. It had taken her a quarter of an hour to get here from the Rose Courtyard, and if there were any thieves fishing in troubled waters, they would have already touched it. At this time, go to the upper courtyard and properly find the rhythm of death.
Qiu was flustered and ran out of ideas. Mother Li saw that Yuxi was not in a hurry, and her heart stabilized, and asked, "Girl, if there is a thief, can we stop it?" ”
Yuxi nodded and said: "I can block it, Zi Jin, Deng Shuang and Deng Xue all have martial arts, and it will definitely be no problem to hold on until the guards come to save them." "The walls and gates of the main courtyard are so strong that thieves can't get in without tools. Even if one or two come in, there are three people in Zijin, and they are not afraid.
Qiu's mind is chaotic, and Yuxi makes a lot of sense, but she always feels that thieves can't enter the inner courtyard.
Yuxi let out a sigh of relief, as far as her aunt is concerned, everything has been delayed. At this time, Deng Shuang pointed in this direction and said, "You see, there is a fire in the southwest. ”
Yuxi's heart jumped, the southwest direction was not the place of her Rose Courtyard. It's just that at this time, she has no way to think about it anymore: "Auntie, the bandits have entered the inner courtyard, and they must stay here and wait for the guards, and they must not go to the upper courtyard." ”
Qiu Shi was frightened: "How can this be? I also asked your sister-in-law to go to the hospital, I don't know how she is now? "In this case, I will definitely not be able to go to the upper courtyard again, and the thieves will be finished. can think of the Ye family, who is still pregnant with his grandson, and the Qiu family is anxious and angry.
Seeing this, Zi Jin said, "Girl, I'll pick up grandma!" ”
Yuxi said to Qiu, "Auntie, send someone to lead the way for Zi Jin!" Zi Jin was not familiar with the road on the side of the Rosin Courtyard, so Yu Xi said that he wanted someone to lead the way.
Qiu said: "Liu Yin, you take Zi Jin to find the eldest grandmother." ”
Liu Yin was very scared in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't retreat at this time, so she stood up and said, "Okay." ”
Deng Shuang said a word before the two of them went out: "Zi Jin, don't come in through the main entrance when you come back later." Deng Shuang said this because she was going to seal the door.
Yuxi was embarrassed: "Deng Shuang, there is no back door in this courtyard." ”
When Liu Yin heard this, he hurriedly said: "There is no back door, but there is a side door." "The so-called side door is a door that is convenient for sending firewood and other things.
The corners of Deng Shuang's mouth twitched, and there was no back door: "The partial door is also successful." ”
After Zi Jin and Liu Yin went out, Deng Shuang immediately said: "Hurry up and close the gate, and close all the windows in the courtyard." ”
When the others heard that there were really thieves breaking into the inner courtyard, they were all stupid, and they dared to move. In fact, one of the maids cried: "A thief has come in, ma'am, let's run away!" "If you don't run away and wait for the thieves to come in, you don't just sit and wait for death.
Deng Shuang was a little speechless when he heard that he was running away: "What are you afraid of??" There are so many guards outside, even if the thieves come, it won't be long before the guards come to the rescue. Although the two Deng Shuang sisters were nervous, they were not afraid. The main reason is that she knows that there are guards and family members in the outer courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, and there are quite a few of them.
Yuxi doesn't grind with these people: "If you want to escape, get out quickly, if you don't escape, close the door." ”
None of the people below dared to move. The masters didn't escape, where did they dare to escape. Two of them emboldened the mother-in-law and walked over and closed the door.
After the door was closed, the Deng Shuang sisters asked people to find something particularly heavy: "Are there any pillars?" The pillars are against the gate, so that even if someone hits the gate, it is not easy to be knocked open. ”
Deng Shuang heard that there were no pillars, and said, "Take off the door panel and hold it." ”
Not only did they use the door panels to hold up the gate, but they also brought in other heavy objects to put under the gate. After getting these things done, Yuxi instructed the maids in the courtyard to close all the windows in the entire courtyard.
After doing this, Yuxi said to the people in the courtyard: "There are a lot of sticks in the firewood room, if a thief really comes in, one person can't beat it, and four or five people can always beat it." ”
Qiu Shi felt that Yuxi was much calmer than himself, and when he saw this, he said, "From now on, you all listen to the four girls." Whatever the four girls tell you to do, you will do. "This is tantamount to handing over the command to Yuxi.
No one in the courtyard moved, and Yuxi said, "We don't need to be afraid of these thieves, they can only run amok for a while." As long as we guard this courtyard, not to mention the guards, I believe that the officers and men will definitely come soon. Yuxi said this completely to appease everyone. If the palace changes today, the officers and soldiers do not need to rely on it. It's too late for the officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion, where is the time to take care of these little shrimps.
But the effect of this was obvious, and the maids in the courtyard got it, and some went into the kitchen, and some went into the firewood room. Those who entered the woodroom took sticks, and those who entered the kitchen took knives.
Yuxi's calm expression affected the people in the entire courtyard. Although everyone stood quietly under the verandah with weapons in their hands, they were no longer panicked.
"Ah......h The thief, the thief is coming.
A few of the cowardly ones had fallen to the ground on their stomachs.
Yuxi was also scared to death, but she couldn't show her cowardice at this time. Moreover, she believed that with the Deng family sisters, these thieves would not be able to hurt her even if they rushed in. With this belief, the panic in Yuxi's heart can also be removed.
At this time, a knock on the door frightened Yuxi so much that his heart missed a beat. Qiu was so frightened that he grabbed Li's mother's arm.
Liu Yue hurriedly said: "It should be Zi Jin and they are back." With that, he ran to the side door.
Hearing Zi Jin's voice, the mother-in-law opened the door.
Ye's face turned pale, and he was helped in by Mrs. Hua, followed by Zi Jin and Liu Yin. Seeing that there was no one behind, the mother-in-law quickly closed the door.
Seeing this, Qiu Shi walked over and said, "You hurry up and go into the house!" "It's frightening to look at that.
Ye Shi Shou didn't have much strength to be polite, and after listening to Qiu's words, he immediately nodded. Then he went into the house.
Yuxi saw Ye enter the house and whispered, "Auntie, you can also enter the house!" Leave it to me and Deng Shuang here. ”
Although Qiu Shi was scared to death, she knew that she couldn't feel at ease when she entered the house, so she might as well stay here: "I'm here to guard, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Seeing Zi Jin's nervous look, Yuxi asked, "Did you meet a thief on the road?" ”
Zi Jin nodded and said, "Yes, I met two, but I knocked them to the ground." Originally, there were four maids who came with the eldest grandmother, but after meeting the thief, they couldn't walk. I had no choice but to leave them and bring my grandmother back. "Zi Jin is not a very enthusiastic person, her task is to bring back the Ye family, and the others are not under her control. It's good to keep up, and there's no way if you can't. And beside the Ye family, only Mrs. Hua gritted her teeth and followed alone.
