Southwest of the outer city, Nijiuzi Lane.
As soon as Huaifenghua arrived, several figures came to greet her.
"Master!"
Zhang Shaoyao grabbed Master Huaifenghua's hand, raised his head and asked, "Did something happen? Otherwise, why would you come to us at this time?"
Huaifenghua glanced at it. Ning Chu and Bai Jiahe were also there. She frowned and said, "Why are you all out?"
Ning Chu replied seriously: "There was an earthquake just now, it seemed to be coming from the inner city. Uncle Zhang went out to inquire about the news, and we plan to come out to have a look too."
"What about the others?"
"Xiu Wei and Hen He have been guarding below. Everyone is safe."
As soon as Ning Chu finished speaking, Zhang Anping had already returned.
He was slightly startled when he saw Huaifenghua, and his face immediately turned serious: "Do we need to move immediately?"
Huaifenghua looked at the sky in the direction of the inner city and said solemnly: "Yes, the current situation is more complicated."
Zhang Anping also looked over. It was some distance away from the core of the inner city. He could only see the black clouds. Although he had some questions to ask, after all, he was the former commander of the Guards, so he immediately responded: " Mrs. Wang has already told me the location, I will bring everyone up first."
Based on their age and personality, these people are actually quite surprised when dealing with things.
Especially when faced with an upcoming problem, Mu Qing's idea was to stand in front of everyone and keep blocking it, while Huai Fenghua and others had to think more long-term.
After all, behind the problem may not be the end, but a series of bigger problems.
Therefore, before Mu Qing decided to become the city lord, Wang Yeqing had already arranged several secluded residences outside the city in advance under some bad assumptions.
Ning Chu and the others only found out about this matter recently. When Huaifenghua and Zhang Anping mentioned it face to face, they all frowned.
As soon as Zhang Anping left, Ning Chu asked the same question as his junior sister: "Master, what happened?"
The worries of the women were already written on their faces. Huaifenghua held Zhang Shaoyao's hand with her backhand and said calmly: "The volcano underground in the inner city has still erupted. Although this is the outer city, it is still not safe."
"I saw the black clouds over there, master, is Brother A Liang there?"
Zhang Shaoyao asked the question he was most concerned about, and Bai Jiahe, who had been silent on the side, also looked at Huaifenghua with bright eyes.
Huaifenghua nodded and said, "When I came over from him just now, he asked me to take you out of the city first."
"Then I won't leave!" Zhang Shaoyao said immediately, but when he saw Huaifenghua's slender eyebrows quickly raised, he lowered his head and changed his words in a low voice: "At least let's go together!"
"Yes, Master." Ning Chu and Bai Jiahe spoke almost at the same time.
Huaifenghua was about to speak, but Zhang Anping had already walked over.
He walked at the front, and Xie Henhe was at the back.
Between the two of them, it looked like they were both close to breaking 100 when combined.
Among this group of people, the first ones were Liu Yueshan, Wang Xiuwei and other women. They all put on light armor, and behind them were some of the elite guards.
These elites either walked on both sides of the team holding powerful crossbows, or carried patients on stretchers.
When Mu Qing rescued people from Bai Hao, some of the elites helped transfer Zhang Shaoyao's parents and some people from Wanhua Valley, and then Xing Fei let them stay.
Later, Que Chun arrived here, and Xing Fei arranged for some elites to come over.
The number of these elite soldiers is less than fifty, but under the command of Zhang Anping, they can definitely exert their greatest effect.
Huaifenghua breathed a sigh of relief. People are like this sometimes. They always like to think about problems too complicatedly, as if they are the only ones facing them. She is like this, and so is Mu Qing. But at this moment, You will find that as long as you treat each other sincerely, everyone will work hard for a common goal.
"You have done a great job. You are worthy of being the former commander-in-chief of the Guards. You always seem to do things in an orderly manner."
When Zhang Anping walked up to him, Huaifenghua praised him from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Anping shook his head and said: "It's just that we considered emergencies in advance, so we gathered faster. I heard that Shaoyao was making trouble and refused to leave. Is it because of Mu Qing?"
Everyone present was very sensitive to Mu Qing's name. When Zhang Anping mentioned it, their eyes fell here.
Over there, Liu Yueshan had already pulled Ning Chu to ask. Everyone soon knew the cause and effect, and decided not to leave.
Huaifenghua frowned and said: "The people from Baidi City haven't come yet, our relationship with Hidden Valley has deteriorated, and we are in danger at any time if we stay in the city."
Huaifenghua looked at Liu Yueshan: "Yueshan, this is what Mu Qing hopes. He told me to protect you."
Liu Yueshan is an ordinary person with no cultivation. At first, everyone accepted her because of her rough experience and Mu Qing's acceptance.
But perhaps it is precisely because of the ups and downs she has experienced that the family and friendship she now possesses are extremely rare and tenderly warm to the people around her. No one hates her and has truly recognized her.
Huaifenghua hopes she can leave with everyone.
Liu Yueshan lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips and frowned. He could only think for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We don't intend to drag him down, but we don't want to leave him at this time either."
Huaifenghua looked at the others.
Everyone also had expressions of "It should be like this". Huaifenghua sighed softly: "I actually want to stay with him more, but you should also think about your own safety. When danger occurs, it is very likely that …”
Zhang Shaoyao knew that Huaifenghua had actually agreed, and said with seriousness on his little face: "Master, don't worry, we will just wait here."
Huaifenghua smiled helplessly, but somehow, she discovered that everyone actually had the same persistence as her, which relieved the burden in her heart.
Zhang Anping said: "It is indeed unsafe underground, but when it comes to where is the safest place, it is actually here. As long as we are not surrounded by a large army and have dozens of elite soldiers, I can completely guarantee everyone's safety."
In fact, this is also the reason why the enemies everyone faces are too terrifying. Not to mention other things, Zhang Anping and Xie Henhe were both first-grade at that time. In the past, they could simply walk sideways in Suzaku City. Now it can only be said that times have completely changed. .
Huaifenghua felt a little relieved after hearing Zhang Anping's words. She was about to speak when she suddenly looked in one direction.
As if to echo what Zhang An said, waves of deep muffled sounds quickly approached Mudleg Alley.
Zhang Anping's expression changed: "It's the cavalry!"
The cavalry ran very fast. Soon after everyone heard the sound of horse hooves, someone ran up to Zhang Anping and said with a solemn expression and a strange expression: "They are the cavalry of the Guards."
"The Guards?"
A female voice sounded.
Que Chun walked up, looked at Huaifenghua and said, "There shouldn't be any danger."
In fact, they should spread out and hide behind the bunker at this time, but considering Xing Fei's character, almost no one felt that Que Chun was telling lies.
Seeing Huaifenghua lowering her jaw slightly, Quechun was about to take the initiative to greet the numerous cavalrymen who heard the sound, but was stopped by Huaifenghua and Zhang Anping.
Huaifenghua said seriously: "We believe in you and Commander Xing, don't you believe in him?"
Huaifenghua and Zhang Anping were the first to greet them. After the leading cavalry discovered their position, the general in the middle suddenly raised his arms, and the entire torrent of steel quickly stopped.
Huaifenghua and Zhang Anping looked at each other and saw the vigilance in their eyes. The more chaotic the situation, the easier it would be for problems to arise. Even if they believed that Xing Fei believed in excision, it did not mean that they believed in everyone in the Guards.
But what made them feel completely relieved soon was that the general in the center dismounted and walked over.
He took off his heavy helmet, walked to Huaifenghua, and knelt down on one knee.
"Yan Qing, why is it you? Where is your eldest brother?"
Que Chun was the first to speak out.
Yan Qing looked up at Que Chun and said with a smile, "Brother, nothing's wrong. Sister-in-law, just don't worry."
Huaifenghua frowned slightly.
Before she came to Mudleg Alley, she had met Xing Fei and Yan Qing, and she knew that Xing Fei was actually seriously injured.
Yan Qing saw Huaifenghua frowning slightly, fearing that Huaifenghua would speak, so he took the initiative and said: "Master Huaigu, Yan Qingfeng came to obey the order of the commander-in-chief."
This was a bit awkward to say, and Huaifenghua looked even weirder: "Xing Fei asked you to follow my orders? After I brought the news to you, I thought you would escort the people in the inner city. Oh, by the way, get up quickly. .”
Que Chun helped Yan Qing up, and Yan Qing showed a thick smile, looked at Huaifenghua and replied seriously: "This is the order of eldest brother. The people who came with me are all cavalry. As for those people in the inner city... we We have informed them of the news in advance, and some of them probably don’t take it seriously.”
Yan Qing's face was still a little depressed when he mentioned this.
Huaifenghua and Zhang Anping looked at each other and could think of the complicated and tangled choices behind this. If it were them, they might not have made this decision, let alone think there was anything wrong with Xing Fei's actions.
Zhang Anping asked: "The cavalry has always been elite. Commander Xing asked you to come over. Has the inner city given up?"
Zhang Anping hesitated for a moment, but still asked, because everything changed so suddenly, and he needed to judge the seriousness of the situation through Xing Fei's decision-making.
Yan Qing actually didn't want to answer this question, because Que Chun was also looking at him with burning eyes.
But thinking that in the current chaotic situation, their personal guards had actually merged with Mu Qing's side, and maybe Xing Fei would have to rely on these people to save him, he didn't hide it: "Although eldest brother didn't say that, But the current situation in the inner city is indeed very bad, and the remaining brothers are only responsible for maintaining smooth traffic at the city gate."
Zhang Anping's heart sank. Although he seemed to be asking why the volcano erupted at this time, he still knew clearly that the top priority was to solve the problem.
Yan Qing glanced behind Huaifenghua and secretly thought that his eldest brother had guessed correctly and said, "If Master Huaigu wants to send everyone away from here, our personal guards can accompany them all the way."
Huaifenghua looked back at Liu Yueshan and the others. Liu Yueshan and the others seemed to have guessed something and shook their heads firmly.
Huaifenghua sighed softly: "They don't plan to leave."
"This..." Yan Qing was slightly touched and looked at Que Chun.
Que Chun said with some embarrassment: "Sister Yueshan and the others are waiting for Mr. Mu Qing. I have many people waiting, including Mr. Mu Qing, you, and him."
Yan Qing opened his mouth, nodded solemnly and said, "I came here to obey orders. What are the plans of Master Huaigu?"
Huaifenghua really didn't expect to get a cavalry army that could shake any force at this time. She pondered for a moment and said: "First eliminate a squad of a hundred people and send the injured people out of the city. This matter... "
Huaifenghua turned sideways and looked behind her. The Ningchu girls felt her gaze and lowered their heads without wanting to respond.
Wang Xiuwei also wanted to find Wang Yeqing, but in the end Xie Henhe discovered the situation and came forward and said, "Then I will do it."
Huaifenghua decided on the leader, and Yan Qing immediately assigned dozens of good horses to ensure that they rode both.
After watching Xie Hen Heda Ma leave, for some reason, not only did everyone not feel relaxed, but they became much more nervous.
Yan Qing looked at Huaifenghua, who happened to look back at him and asked: "Commander Yan, does your elder brother have any other orders?"
Yan Qing shook his head and said: "No, during this period, our cavalry will fully obey the command of Lord Huaigu."
Huaifeng Hu secretly thought that this favor was a bit too much. She mused: "The terrain here is complicated and the cavalry has little effect here, and more people can easily expose the target."
Zhang Anping suggested: "Only one hundred people are needed here. Separate these one hundred people into key positions. I can control any slightest disturbance. I can select one hundred of the most elite soldiers and distribute them."
Huaifenghua's eyes lit up. Fortunately, she was still thinking hard about how to make the best use of this cavalry. Isn't there an expert who could ask for advice?
Huaifenghua agreed: "Just as Mr. Zhang said, how about Commander Yan selecting a hundred of the most elite soldiers and giving them to Mr. Zhang to command?"
Yan Qing also agreed with this approach. He said: "Master Huaigu really does not use the tone of discussion. You are now the commander of this cavalry army."
Yan Qing quickly selected a hundred elites. Zhang Anping walked towards the group of people without any delay and began to lay out orders.
After Huaifenghua ensured the safety here, she wanted to take the cavalry to find Wang Yeqing.
At this time, Ning Chu and the others came up and looked at Huaifenghua eagerly.
Huaifenghua frowned and guessed what they were thinking. She shook her head and said, "No, you have to stay here. Those people from Hidden Valley are all here."
Although Yan Qing was a little confused that Huai Fenghua was actually from Hidden Valley, he did not ask any more questions, but suggested: "If Master Huai Valley is worried about the masters of Hidden Valley, I can divide the cavalry into three groups, and two of them can guard the pass. On the main road to this area, I will lead the other team to follow you."
This suggestion really reassured Huaifenghua, and she agreed with Yan Qing's suggestion.
After receiving the new order, the cavalry that had just been surrounding here immediately dispersed to both wings, and in the end only 900 people remained.
Zhang Shaoyao asked again: "Master, we are not capable of doing anything big because of our low strength, but we can still do our part."
Zhang Shaoyao glanced to the side as he spoke, and saw that Liu Yueshan and Que Chun's faces were slightly gloomy. After realizing it, he quickly apologized: "Sister Yueshan, Sister Que Chun, I'm not talking about you, I'm just, I'm just..."
Liu Yueshan held Shaoyao's hand and said with a little force: "I know what you're apologizing to, sister. I'll be here waiting for all of you to come back safely."
Que Chun also looked at Yan Qing and said seriously: "You all should take care."
Yan Qing gave a dull sigh. In fact, at this time, even he couldn't tell what would happen next.
Yan Qing looked at Huaifenghua. Huaifenghu was so troubled by his disciples that he finally nodded and suddenly said: "You have all left, what will happen here?"
Ning Chu frowned and was about to take the initiative to stay. Yue Shan smiled and said, "Isn't there Mr. Zhang? The efforts made by Shaoyao and others can also be counted as our share."
Finally, Yan Qing took the initiative to bring a few horses over, and under the leadership of Huaifenghua, headed further west to the Qingxi River.
