Chapter 463
The cold female voice instilled inner strength, and it still reached everyone's ears under the city gate where the shouts of killing were shaking.

It seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the soldiers who were slashing were stunned for a moment.

The next moment, the Xuanjia Army rumbled forward.

Some people saw that the situation was not right and immediately disarmed on the spot.

There were also some people, such as the confidants of the commander of the Jizhou Right Army, who looked at each other a few times, and some actually sneered: "Where did the army come from, pretending to be the Xuanjia Army?"

"How could the Xuanjia Army suddenly appear here when they are far away in the capital? Besides, this is Jizhou City. All defenses and troops are under the control of King Zhongshan and Lord Liu, the Protector of Jizhou!"

"I only listen to the two of them, and I won't let you be frightened by just saying a few random words!"

The commander of the right army also shouted: "Come, close the city gate quickly!"

Xie Zhaozhao raised his chin slightly: "You are seeking death yourself - kill the thieves who stirred up civil strife and killed your comrades on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several well-equipped Xuanjia troops behind Xie Zhaozhao rushed forward towards the commander, thrusting out their spears.

The Xuanjia Army's equipment was the most sophisticated among the entire Da Qin army, and it was extremely powerful. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who were leading the bodyguards around them fell into ashes of blood.

The commander of the right army was shocked and said, "You are so bold, so bold!"

He raised his gun to block, but it was still too late.

The sickle and spear swept past, and blood spurted out from the right army commander's throat. He fell off his horse with his eyes wide open and refused to open his eyes to death.

The other soldiers on the left and right were immediately horrified when they saw such a tragic situation, and they all put down their weapons one by one.

Xie Zhaozhao waved his hand to the Xuanjia Army to go up to the city tower and take over the defense of the south city gate, and then the barracks under the city tower were temporarily used for their own use.

Xie Zhaozhao quickly walked into the barracks and sat on the main seat, "Hurry and check on General Xuanming's situation."

"Yes."

……

In Kudu Temple, Chen Shulan sat quietly in the Zen courtyard and copied scriptures.

The mountains were quiet and there were no distractions. She had been here for a few days and felt at peace.

However, the way Xie Zhaozhao dressed up when she set out today made her unable to help but worry and couldn't calm down, so she asked Qing Mosi to borrow the Four Treasures of the Study from the monks in the temple to copy scriptures.

While meditating, I also wish them all peace.

She copied from afternoon to evening, and her back hurt from copying, so she reluctantly put down the pen at the urging of Qing Moss.

"Miss, this slave has prepared a vegetarian meal. Please take a rest and eat more."

Qing Moss squatted beside Chen Shulan and reluctantly helped her rub her wrists and fingers to relieve the pain and stiffness. Aunt Liu stood behind Chen Shulan and massaged her shoulders and neck.

Aunt Liu couldn't help but said: "I don't know what happened to the tilted head. I hope my uncle and the others are safe."

"It should be fine..."

Chen Shulan said this with a slight frown on her brows.

She always couldn't feel at ease until the last moment, and this worry left her with no appetite.

Chen Shulan only took two bites of the prepared vegetarian food and didn't want to move anymore.

Aunt Liu and Qing Moss couldn't persuade them anymore and took the fast food away. There was a small kitchen in the monastery where Chen Shulan lived.

Aunt Liu warmed the food on the stove so that Chen Shulan could use it at any time if she got hungry later.

After dinner, Chen Shulan rested for a while, took the copied scriptures and went to the front hall to offer them. When she reached the corner of the hall, she suddenly heard a sound of killing from the gate.

Chen Shulan's face suddenly turned pale, and she pinched Nanny Liu's wrist, "Did something happen?"

"Old slave, why don't you go and have a look -" Grandma Liu motioned to Qingmai to look after Chen Shulan, and she was about to go after saying this.Chen Shulan quickly took hold of Nanny Liu's hand, "No, don't go to Nanny... They must be coming for me. The seventh girl said she had left someone to guard her. The current shouts of killing are probably due to a fight between the two parties." "

"You are old and frail, and you will be in bad luck. So... let's find a place to hide as soon as possible!"

Aunt Liu also felt that it was very reasonable, so she left the front hall quickly with Qingmoi and Qingmoi supporting her from left to right.

The shouts of death outside were getting louder and louder, and the fire was flickering.

Night had fallen at this time, but the darkness was not too dark, but under the influence of these firelights and shouts of death, the night was like a monster with its mouth open, which was frightening at a glance.

The monks in the temple were also rushing around.

Two of them found Chen Shulan and the others, and quickly took them to the back mountain to hide.

Xie Changyuan did not find Kudu Temple as a hiding place for Chen Shulan. He did not find it randomly. The temple had already been prepared, and even if there was an emergency, it would be dealt with immediately.

Chen Shulan and the others were taken into the back mountain and arrived at a clean stone cave.

The two monks who brought them here hid the three masters and servants of Chen Shulan inside, and said solemnly: "Don't come out!"

Then the two monks took branches on the left and right to cover the entrance of the cave, and each took a long stick and ran down the mountain.

Chen Shulan and three others were hiding in the cave.

The cave was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. Only a little light could be seen looking out through the gaps in the branches and leaves in front of the cave door.

The temple on the mountainside was already ablaze, and there were shouts of killing.

Qing Moss said tremblingly: "I don't know if there are many people coming. What if-"

What should I do if my own people can't stop them and those people come charging at me?
Chen Shulan gritted her teeth and held hands with Nanny Liu and Qing Moss. The three masters and servants hugged each other and waited in agony.

I don’t know how long it took, but the shouting and killing at the foot of the mountain became smaller and smaller and gradually stopped.

But I don't know whether my own people had the upper hand and controlled the enemies or whether the enemies won the battle.

The three of them still didn't dare to breathe, fearing that if something happened, they said something to attract the enemy.

Chen Shulan's nerves were also tense, and her breathing seemed completely suppressed.

Suddenly, there was a conversation outside.

"Right here? Then take the branch away quickly."

This is Xie Changyuan's voice.

When the tree branches in front of the cave door were moved away, Chen Shulan saw the man holding a torch and looking in with slightly twisted eyebrows, Xie Changyuan, and immediately rushed out and rushed into Xie Changyuan's arms.

Xie Changyuan was slightly startled, then threw the torch directly to Lei An, put both hands on Chen Shulan's back and patted her gently: "Don't be afraid."

Chen Shulan hugged Xie Changyuan tightly and wouldn't let go.

Lei An lit the torch, glanced at Chen Shulan and Xie Changyuan quickly, and helped the monks pull Nanny Liu and Qing Moss out of the cave.

The three masters and servants were frightened, and now they are still in shock when they come out.

Seeing Chen Shulan's shoulders shaking and sobbing, Grandma Liu felt soft and said softly: "We have been hiding here for about two hours. The young lady must be frightened."

Xie Changyuan said "hmm", raised his hand and picked up Chen Shulan directly, "Let's go down the mountain first."

Chen Shulan clung to Xie Changyuan's shoulders all the way down the mountain.

When she returned to the Zen room and Xie Changyuan placed Chen Shulan on the Arhat bed, she finally came back to her senses and said, "Why are you here - ah!"
