Chapter 204 Good News
"Speak slowly if you have something to say!" Luo Heng pushed Zhang Shu back to the chair and sat down. At this time, Luo Xin had already poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Zhang Shu.Zhang Shu stabilized his emotions and said:

"Uncle, you know that I only have a son like Xun'er!"

"Yes!" Luo Heng sat back on the chair and nodded.

"This city might break down one day! And I'm just a scholar, with no power to restrain a chicken. My uncle's family is a family of martial arts. Once the city breaks down, there may be a possibility of escape. I want to entrust Xun'er to the old man." Uncle, I will escape with you when the time comes."

"Father! I want to be with you! If we die, our father and son will die together!" Zhang Xun stood up and cried.

"Shut up!" Zhang Shu turned around and shouted.

"Dangdangdang..."

Zhang Shu's voice still echoed in the main room, and there was another knock on the door in the courtyard.Luo Xin stood up again and walked towards the door.After a while, Zhou Zhixian and Zhou Yu and his son came in.Everyone in the main room hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhou Zhixian one after another. Zhou Zhixian hurriedly stepped forward to support Luo Heng with both hands. After a while, everyone sat down again.Seeing Zhang Shu and Zhang Xun's father and son crying, Zhou Zhixian had a wry smile on his face, and said to Luo Heng:
"Uncle..."

Luo Heng was so frightened that he jumped up and said, "My lord, grass people don't dare to address you like an adult."

Zhou Zhixian also stood up and said: "With the relationship between Xin'er and Hao De, it is not too much for me to call you old uncle. If you don't agree, old uncle, you are driving me away."

Luo Heng rubbed his big hands in front of him, not knowing what to do for a while.Zhou Zhixian looked at Luo Heng and said:
"Uncle, I think my purpose of coming here is the same as Brother Zhang Xian!"

Luo Heng was startled and stuttered when he spoke.

"My lord, you...you...do you also think that the city is going to be destroyed?"

Zhou Zhixian let out a long sigh and said, "Old man, I hope you can keep what I said here today a secret."

"Yes!"

Everyone's expressions became tense, only Luo Xin's face showed bitterness, because he already knew that the army's food storage was only ten days away.Presumably this is what Zhou Zhixian wanted to talk about.

Zhou Zhixian glanced at the people in the main room seriously, then lowered his voice and said:

"There is only enough food in the army for ten days."

"What?" Luo Zhi jumped up in panic: "Doesn't that mean that the city will be destroyed in ten days?"

"To shut up!"

Luo Heng glared at Luo Zhi. Originally, even though Luo Zhi had passed the examination as a scholar, Luo Heng, the father, had subconsciously respected and revered his third son.But ever since the rogues happened, he looked down on his son more and more.Looking at the flustered Luo Zhi, and then at the silent Luo Xin, he deeply regretted not forcing Luo Zhi to practice martial arts.Even if he only practiced half-baked, he wouldn't be so gutless and lose his composure in front of the magistrate.

"Tang Zun!"

Luo Xin stood up and opened his mouth. Zhang Shu and Zhou Tingyu came to the door in person, and they could foresee the dire situation.Zhang Shu and Zhou Tingyu are his adoptive fathers, and Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun are his sworn brothers, so he can't ignore them.And once the city is broken, although Luo Xin has some kung fu, he may not be able to survive, at worst, everyone will die together.

Seeing Luo Xin speak, the room was silent, and everyone's eyes could not help but focus on Luo Xin.Luo Xin looked at Zhou Zhixian and Zhang Shuning and said:
"Tang Zun and Uncle Zhang don't worry, as long as I, Luo Xin, live, Brother Hao De and Brother Zi Yu will definitely live."

"Xin'er, thank you!" Zhou Zhixian's eyes became moist and said, "I will leave those four yamen servants to you."

"Tang Zun!" Luo Xin interrupted Zhou Zhixian, "What about you?"

"Me?" Zhou Zhixian smiled wryly and said, "As the county magistrate of Yanglin County, I can only die in the city!"

"Father……"

"To shut up!"

As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, Zhou Zhixian yelled at him.And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from outside.Everyone in the hall changed their colors.Luo Zhi shouted in panic:

"The city is broken!"

The county magistrate hurriedly saluted Luo Heng, "Old man, please!"

Then he turned around and left in a hurry, Zhang Shu also saluted Luo Heng in a hurry, said "Old uncle, please.", and left in a hurry.

"father!"

"Father!"

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were about to leave, but they were held tightly by Luo Xin.After all, Luo Heng has practiced martial arts all his life, but he calmed down now, and shouted as he strode out:
"Don't take anything, let's go right away."

Rushing out of the main room, I saw the four yamen servants who followed Zhou Yu to Shanglin Village were standing in the yard, and there were more than a dozen horses beside them. Some of these horses were brought by Zhou Zhi County, and some were brought by Zhang Shu. brought.When Luo Heng saw it, his eyes lit up and he shouted:
"Take the weapon and get on the horse."

Luo Xin took one in each hand, pulled Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun out, and shouted at the two of them:

"Get on the horse first, everything depends on the situation."

Looking back, he looked at his father taking care of his mother getting on the horse, but sister-in-law Zhang Yuniang and cousin Zhang Yunqiao looked helpless and confused, and said to Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun:

"You two go help them, I'll get the weapons!"

After saying that, he ran towards his room.Pushing open the door, he picked up the Guandao, and glanced back at the big wooden box in the room, where all the articles he copied for later generations were placed, then turned and ran towards the stable in a hurry.He untied the horse's reins, turned on the horse, clamped his legs, and urged the horse to run towards the front yard.

"Brother Haode, brother Ziyu, you bring my two sister-in-laws and follow me closely."

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun led Zhang Yunniang and Zhang Yunqiao to ride towards Luo Xin on horseback.Luo Ping held the Guan knife to protect Luo Shi, and then shouted at Luo Zhi:

"Third brother, follow me."

Luo Zhi then leaned towards Luo Ping with his wife and children.Luo Ye protected his wife and daughter, Luo Heng protected his old wife, and four government servants followed behind Luo Xin, enclosing Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun.

"boom……"

Before the Luo family started rushing towards the gate, they heard a "bang", the gate was knocked open from the outside, and a figure rushed in from the outside.Luo Heng stared, urged his horse forward, twisted the big gun in his hand with both hands, and stabbed at that person.Zhang Xun on the side shouted anxiously:

"Wait a minute, it's my father!"

Luo Heng's hands stopped suddenly, the big gun buzzed, and the tip of the gun shook rapidly in front of Zhang Shu's face, forming a ring of gunshots.

"Pfft..."

Zhang Shu squatted on the ground with one buttocks. Although he fell and grinned, his face was full of ecstasy, and he shouted tremblingly:
"The court... the court... the army... is coming..."
