Chapter Seventy-One: Don't Say It Too Soon

Retreat Garden, in the Ten Thousand Pine Wind Hall.

Xu Ge sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, listening to the movement outside with his two brothers and a group of nephews.

Xu Da and others kept coming in to report.

"Old lady, the officials and soldiers rushed into the West Mansion and arrested a lot, even the second master was arrested!"

"Huh?" Xu Long Xu Chen's face turned pale, and he said in his heart that he really let Xu Jie say it.

"Hmph, you deserve it." Xu Jie's hatred was relieved for a while: "If he hadn't lost his mind and was crazy at the beginning, he impeached me with a silver medal, and the old man would not have retired so early." ”

If he had been in power, how could he have suffered today's catastrophe?

"Fortunately, my brother called us over in advance." Xu Chen rejoiced again: "I finally escaped." ”

"Is the Retreat Garden absolutely safe?" Xu Chen asked.

"Hai Rui won't be mad, he even dares to surround the residence of the elder of the pavilion, right?" Xu Long said.

"Probably not." Xu Jie picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "You guys live here for a while and watch the ......."

"Old lady, the officials and soldiers have surrounded the garden." Before he finished speaking, Xu Da hurriedly came in to report.

"Ugh." Xu Jie felt that his old face was hot, and tea almost flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he said for a while: "At this time, those chaotic people are the most dangerous, and the officials and soldiers are here to protect us." ”

"The old lady is not good, the rioters have rushed in!" Not long after, Xu Da came in for the third time. "Old lady, avoid it!"

"Oh, brother, let's run!" Xu Chen stood up in fright.

"You guys go, I'm not going anywhere." Xu Ge Lao, who was beaten and swollen in the face, still sat there and said without moving: "If they want to arrest it, let's arrest the old man." I see how they explain to the rest of the world! ”

"Alas......" The brothers and nephews looked at Xu Jie, who was iron-hearted, and had to flash through the back door first.

~~

Xu Da took a group of family members, armed with knives, guns and shields, and stood at the door of the Ten Thousand Gullies Songfeng Hall with a nervous expression, protecting the old lady from the chaos of the people.

The people who rushed in were naturally discouraged when they saw this battle, they came to smash and loot happily, not to be beaten.

At this time, Niu Yanshi and the officials and soldiers also came after him, and the chaotic people dispersed in a hurry.

Seeing this, Xu Da was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Niu Yanshi waved his hand again and said, "Protect the!" ”

The officers and soldiers lined up outside the Ten Thousand Gully Songfeng Hall to stand on guard, and put Xu Ge under house arrest under protection.

"What are you going to do?!" Xu Da was not stupid, he was in a hurry at that time.

"The chaotic people rushed into the retreat garden, the garden is very dangerous, we will protect the Cunzhai Gong here, until the official army cleans up all the chaotic people and will withdraw." Niu Yanshi explained a few words in a loud voice, and then arched his hand into the hall and said loudly:

"Don't worry, we are here, and we will never let the rebels hurt a single hair of you."

Xu Ge in the hall was old and cold, and he was deep in thought. He never expected that Hai Rui, a tendon with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually play tricks, and what kind of chaotic people hit the retreat garden, it was simply you who deliberately let it in to open the way, okay!

But at this time, he didn't dare to react excessively, otherwise if he was protected by the other party in another place, he would really have to hang himself in shame.

"There's something to do, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea and talk?" Elder Xu Ge's voice could not hear any anger.

"Don't dare, the subordinate officials should still stand guard for your old man outside." Naturally, the cow should stay away from this plague god.

~~

The retreat garden covers an area of 300 acres, and when the rebels rushed in, they did not hear any movement in the chrysanthemum garden located in the depths of the garden.

The brothers Xu Fan and Xu Ying, who were locked up by Xu Jie, were still bored pushing pai gow there to pass the time.

"Miscellaneous Seven." Xu Fan shook off the two dominoes in his hand.

"Miscellaneous eight! Haha, you are mixed with me, this can win you! Xu Ying was overjoyed, and stretched out her hand to Xu Fan. Give money to money. ”

Xu Fan threw the copper coin on the table as a bargaining chip to the third child.

Unexpectedly, with a little more force, the copper coin fell to the ground, and the bones rolled into the distance.

"Hey, my money!" Xu Ying hurriedly jumped up, chased a long way to pick up the money, and then blew the soil on her head, and put it on the table with joy.

"You won't let go of a penny!" Xu Fan rolled his eyes.

"Follow our father, our grandfather." Xu Ying was not ashamed at all and said: "We are such a big business, isn't this how we saved it?" ”

"Then it has to be blessed." Xu Fan snorted and said, "Being locked up here, what's the use of how many beautiful women in your field house?" ”

"Big brother, we can still be locked up here forever," Xu Ying also said with a little trepidation: "I have to think of going out." ”

"There's a way." Xu Fan pointed to the root of the east wall with his chin and said, "There is a dog hole, drill out." ”

"I, Xu Ying, am also a five-rank life official, the prime minister's son, even if I am trapped, starved to death, and bored to death in it, I will never drill a dog hole!" Xu Ying shook her head.

Xu Fan was about to speak again when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He listened as if someone was saying, 'Don't let them run,' or something.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ying's face changed. "You can't be here to arrest us, are you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, where is this?" Xu Fan didn't believe it, got up and walked to the locked door. I glanced out through the crack in the door for a while, but I saw that the two family members guarding the door had long since disappeared, and some people dressed as officials and soldiers were searching everywhere from house to house.

"Crow's mouth, I really let you talk!" Xu Fan glanced at Xu Ying with a pale face.

Xu Ying's complexion changed several times, and she suddenly ran towards the root of the east wall, lifted the mat covering the corner of the wall, and revealed a dog hole the size of a basin.

Without hesitation, he got into it and escaped from the dog cave from the chrysanthemum garden, and the action was done in one go......

The corners of Xu Fan's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't care about any shame. No one saw him, so he closed his eyes and got out of the dog's hole.

"Oops, third child, pull me and get stuck in my stomach."

Xu Ying was hollowed out by wine, skinny, and easy to drill. But when others reach middle age, the food is good, and it is inevitable that they will be blessed. Stuck in the hole, you can't go back or out.

Xu Ying hurriedly fell back, grabbed his arm with both hands, and pressed his foot against the wall.

With a bang, he dragged the eldest brother out.

"Fuck, you've got to lose weight." Xu Ying panted.

"Be quiet." Xu Fan rubbed his hot stomach and asked, "What should we do?" ”

"Follow me." Retreat Garden is Xu Ying's supervisor, and he is very familiar with this place.

took Xu Fan, with the help of the cover of the grass, to a culvert not far away.

"Hand on." The two lifted the stone slab that covered the mouth of the ditch, and a rancid smell of sewers came to their faces.

"From here, you should be able to get out of the garden all the way." Xu Ying whispered.

"Please." Xu Fan made a gesture of please.

"Please." Xu Ying and Xu Fan gave in, but they refused to go down first.

In the end, the winner was decided by guessing the boxing, or Xu Ying was in front and Xu Fan was behind, the two entered the sewer one after another, and re-closed the lid.

Then, one after the other, they groped their way through the stinking muddy culverts......

ps. The third is to ask for a monthly pass!
