incense as a medium

Chapter 74
Qi Ding fell to the ground with a bang, they were not afraid of the city being broken, and General Kang would come to help soon after the city was broken, but the siege...she still remembered that in the first year of coming to Yongkang Pass, it was also besieged by the Tatars. After two months of siege, the Tatars were driven away with the efforts of all parties.

But during that time, everyone was living in dire straits, and the food in Yongkang Pass could only last for half a month at most. After two months of siege, some people even started eating people!
With Liu Bailu's support, she got up tremblingly, and said, "Hurry up! Pack up your things and go to the prefect's mansion!"

Today's sage is making great efforts to govern and know how to use people well. The magistrate of Yongkang Pass, Mr. Du, is a man with both civil and military skills. He can also command the garrison officers and soldiers to fight against the enemy in times of crisis, but he is also extremely measured. He should never speak too much when he should not speak. words.

Lord Du has been stationed at Yongkang Pass for decades. It can be said that Yongkang Pass can be quickly restored every time after a disaster, and the people are prosperous and prosperous, all thanks to Lord Du's governance.

Liu Bailu helped Qi Ding to pack his clothes, and asked, "Will Master Du take us in?"

Liu Bailu had never been to Yongkang Pass, so he didn't know about those things, not to mention that after they were criminal subjects, the magistrate might not be willing to take them in.

Qi Ding didn't answer her, but just rummaged through boxes and chests and stuffed his valuables on his body, and said to Liu Bailu: "Hurry up and pack up your money, too, by the way, the new clothes I made and Pei Yun's clothes Take it too."

"Yes." Liu Bailu responded, put the wrapped bundle on the bed, turned around and walked quickly to the east wing, packed up three or four sets of clothes for himself and Qi Peiyun, put them on, and took two more The cloak and the rest were wrapped and hidden under the bed.

As for the valuable things, it's not that Qi Ding cares much about Liu Bailu, but that Liu Bailu's current household is paid for by Liu Bailu. If Liu Bailu runs out of money, wouldn't it be that she has to use her own money?Qi Dingshi is not willing to use his money to support Liu Bailu and Qi Pei'an, two little bitches.

Liu Bailu packed her clothes very quickly, and as soon as she went out, Qi Ding threw a huge bag on her body. She staggered to catch it, and turned her head to see Qi Pei'an curled up in a corner with a small bag, and walked over He grabbed her and hung Qi Ding's big burden on her bamboo pole-like arm: "Go!"

The three rushed out of the house, and the residents of Tongluo Lane also panicked, running out like crazy and spending all their money to buy food, vegetables and fruits to hoard at home.

Liu Bailu followed Qi Ding's family and ran towards the prefect's mansion. Soldiers patrolling the streets with swords and guns came in an endless stream. There were still a few soldiers guarding the entrance of the grain store by the roadside to avoid looting by the crowd.The gates of the silver building and other shops were also closed, and soldiers were sent to guard them.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bailu calmed down a little.The three of them staggered all the way to the magistrate's mansion, Liu Bailu thought they would be stopped, but unexpectedly, Qi Pei'an stepped forward and said a few words, and the three of them were welcomed in.

At the second door, Mrs. Du and Du Wangshi led their daughter Du Shuang to welcome the three of them. Du Wangshi nodded slightly to Qi Dingshi: "Mrs. Qi."

Qi Dingshi smiled and bowed his knees: "I have seen Mrs. Du."

Liu Bailu also hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Ms. Qi Liu has seen Mrs. Du."

Madam Du smiled and took Liu Bailu's hand, glanced at the embroidery on her clothes, and said, "You are Liu Bailu? You really deserve your reputation. You look good, and this embroidery work is also good."

Liu Bailu smiled gently: "Mrs. Du's praise is nothing but praise from everyone."

Du Shuang stepped forward and took Liu Bailu's hand, and said with a smile, "I've heard about my sister's name for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to meet her. Today I have the chance, so I hope my sister can show me my embroidery work."

Liu Bailu smiled and said: "I dare not give advice, living in the house these days is a lot of trouble, and I can't avoid disturbing Miss Du's peace."

Du Shuang was very happy to see Liu Bailu's humility and gentleness, knowing how to advance and retreat, she nodded repeatedly, and said, "I won't disturb you, mother, why don't you arrange them in the yard next to me?"

Mrs. Qi Ding was a little unhappy when she heard the words. She lived too close, so it was not easy for her to order Liu Bailu to do things. She didn't want to be known as a wicked mother-in-law, but in this situation, it is safer to live close to the master's house , and looked at Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du was a little hesitant, her eyes fell on the exquisite and meticulous embroidery on Liu Bailu's clothes, the simple light green lines outlined the delicate and complicated patterns, the funeral clothes can also be made so beautiful and not eye-catching, It's really rare.

Then she nodded and said: "Your wish has come true, but you don't want to disturb Mrs. Qi's rest."

"Thank you, mother." Du Shuang nodded excitedly, and pulled Liu Bailu aside to talk.

Qi Ding said to Mrs. Du: "Thanks to having you this time, otherwise Pei Yun is not at home, and I don't know what to do."

Mrs. Du said with a smile: "Mrs. Qi's speech is offended. It was Mr. Qi who saved my master at the beginning. What we have done now is nothing more than a little effort."

Qi Dingshi nodded with a smile, taking it for granted.

Seeing her frowning slightly, Mrs. Du couldn't help but look at her daughter.

While talking with Du Shuang, Liu Bailu was thinking about what was going on there. Seeing Qi Ding's expression, he calmly took out a finely crafted azure-colored silk gourd-shaped purse from his bag, Said: "This is what I do when I have nothing to do on weekdays. The materials used are not good. Don't dislike it."

Liu Bailu's embroidery is excellent, no one in the whole Zhou Dynasty can match it, the small purse is extremely inconspicuous, but it really made Du Shuang happy, she took it with both hands, held it in her hand, looked at it again and again, and then put it in her hand. Patted in his arms: "It's really beautiful."

Seeing Mrs. Du's approving eyes, Liu Bailu lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.

Walking all the way in the magistrate's mansion, the servants and maids who came and went all looked calm, and they didn't see the slightest panic, and Liu Bailu's heart gradually relaxed. Ordinary people may not know the situation outside, but the magistrate must know. Now The mansion is so peaceful, it seems that this siege is not as serious as she imagined.

However, what Liu Bailu thought was too good. On the second day of the siege, the Tatars began to attack. On the tenth day, the officers and soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties. However, there was no news from Kang Yibang, and there was no one behind the Tatar army. Signs of the army's arrival.

The news in the city couldn't get out, and they didn't know anything about the situation outside. After discussing with the guards, Lord Du sent a team of civilians disguised as soldiers to break out from the west gate, where there were few Tatar troops, to ask for help.

Liu Bailu was worried, but Du Shuang calmly studied embroidery in her room, and comforted her: "Sister Liu, don't worry, there must be something holding up General Kang, so there is no time to rush to help. General Kang, we will be able to relieve the siege soon."

Speaking of Kang Yibang, Du Shuang's eyes were shining brightly, and a thin layer of pink appeared on his cheeks. Liu Bailu saw it in his eyes, and became a little wary of Du Shuang. Shuang Jiang had been with him for so many years and would not hesitate to provoke them for Kang Yibang If the relationship between husband and wife can't be kept, Du Shuang will do something under Kang Yibang's instigation.

In the evening, Du Shuang brought news to Liu Bailu again, and the soldiers who managed to get out of the city left safely, only waiting for the news from Kang Yibang.

Qi Peiyun raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, a petite person emerged from the tent behind him and held a cloak and put it on his shoulders, Ying Mo followed his gaze and asked: "What is Brother Pei Yun looking at?"

The snow flakes covered the distant sky like cotton wool, but the low-pressure clouds gave the pure white sky a hint of haze.

Qi Peiyun pointed to the gray sky in the distance, and said, "I'm afraid the snow will continue to fall."

Even with his worried face, he still fascinated her so much, Ying Mo couldn't bear to move his eyes away from Qi Peiyun's face: "What does snow have to do with us?"

Ying Mo wished the snow would continue to fall.Before their caravan reached the white people's place, it started snowing, and the heavy snow almost never stopped along the way. When they reached the white people's place, it was almost New Year's Eve.She originally planned to stay in the white people's place for the new year and then go back, but Qi Peiyun was thinking about her family and wanted to go back before the end of the first lunar month.

Qi Peiyun frowned, and said: "We are in the Altai tribe now, and the Altai tribe is an extremely friendly tribe, and its Khan Utuo loves peace and doesn't like war. But look, there are still people in the Altai tribe." man?"

Ying Mo also realized that something was wrong, looked at the women who occasionally came in and out with their children in the distance, and said, "Could it be..."

Qi Peiyun nodded, turned around and entered the tent, and said to Zhang Ting who was warming up by the fire: "We are going back immediately!"

Zhang Ting had already seen something was wrong. Hearing this, he pointed outside and said, "Look at such a heavy snowstorm, even if we rush back, it will take half a month. Why don't you just wait here and see?" There is some news from General Kang."

Qi Peiyun nodded, and was about to say something when he saw Ying Mo behind him, his expression turned cold, and he said, "Get out!"

"I'll pour tea for you." Ying Mo looked at Qi Peiyun innocently, and said again: "I can also help with advice, don't look down on women."

Make suggestions?

Qi Peiyun recalled Liu Bailu's high spirits when he talked to him that night, looked at Ying Mo again, chuckled lightly, rubbed his chin and smiled contemptuously, and said, "You? You can't, or get out."

"Brother Pei Yun..." Ying Mo called out beggingly, and his eyes drifted to Wu Zeng's body.

Seeing this, Wu Zeng stood up and said, "Let Ms. Ying stay, she has helped us a lot this way."

Qi Peiyun looked at Ying Mo, then at Wu Zeng, shrugged, and sat down beside Zhang Ting, the two looked at each other, and said, "Whatever you want."
