In the manor, Lao Huang only led a few veterans to guard the safety of the manor.
The people were hiding in the manor, with looks of fear and anger on their faces, and pairs of eyes looking outside the manor.
It was extremely quiet outside the manor. As the black moon covered the moon, snowflakes fell, and the entire world fell into deathly darkness.
But even so, no one dared to light an oil lamp for lighting.
"What's the situation outside? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Yes, how is Master Qin? Why is there no news yet?"
"Why don't you be brave enough to go out and have a look?"
Several old people gathered around Zhao Xingzhi to discuss, and even proposed to send someone out to have a look, but Zhao Xingzhi rejected them all.
"No! People can't go out. If we go out, it will only affect Mr. Qin."
"But Mr. Zhao, there is no way we can just wait here. How about we organize the young people here and get some work, and we can also support Mr. Qin." An old man said.
"Stupid!" Xiao He came over at this time.
Looking down at the people sitting on the ground, he said: "Those who have no combat experience, even if they are young and strong, can only die on the battlefield."
Everyone's face turned dark, they were actually lectured by a child.
Xiao He looked to the other side, "I have an idea, it depends on whether you dare to do it."
"Go, go, kids, stay here and don't make trouble!" An old man drove Xiao He away impatiently.
Xiao He's bright eyes were very dazzling in the darkness, looking around, and finally turned his gaze outside the house.
Just when Xiao He lifted his legs and walked out, a delicate hand grabbed Xiao He's sleeve.
"Xiao He, you said you have a solution, what is it?" Zhao Ling'er pulled Xiao He and asked in a low voice.
Xiao He glanced at Zhao Linger, rolled his eyes, and pulled Zhao Linger out of the door.
Not long after, fire suddenly lit up outside the manor.
"Look! There's fire! Are Master Qin and the others back?"
"That's great! That's great!"
Smiles finally broke out on the faces of all the people, and most of the fear in their hearts was dispelled.
However, a veteran ran in panting.
"Master Zhao! Hurry and hide everyone!"
One sentence made everyone's heart sink to the bottom.
"Don't panic!" Zhao Xingzhi stood up and asked, "How many enemies are there outside."
"There are only more than a hundred people, but they are all well-equipped!" The veteran said in a very solemn tone.
Those people are well-equipped, they don't look like bandits, but they are elites in the army!
"Don't panic. There are only more than a hundred people, which means that only a small part of the enemy has entered the city. Lord Qin and the others should be safe. What we have to do now is to hide and don't distract Lord Qin!"
Under Zhao Xingzhi's comfort, the people calmed down and then began to look for a hiding place.
Suddenly, Zhao Xingzhi discovered that all the bandits that Sun Erniang had surrendered from the mountain had disappeared.
Zhao Xingzhi's heart trembled suddenly, and a worst-case scenario kept growing in Zhao Xingzhi's heart.
But Zhao Xingzhi didn't dare to say anything. Once the people became chaotic, there would really be nothing he could do to save his life, and he had no evidence now.
"Everything depends on fate!" Zhao Xingzhi murmured to himself.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhao finally saw her husband in the crowd.
"Master! Ling'er is gone!" Mrs. Zhao grabbed Zhao Xingzhi's arm and burst into tears.
"boom!"
Zhao Xingzhi felt as if he had been struck by lightning and seemed to have lost his soul in an instant.
"Master! Master!" Mrs. Zhao shouted several times before waking Zhao Xingzhi up.
"Isn't Ling'er by your side? What do you think?" Zhao Xingzhi raised his hand and wanted to hit his wife, but in the end he didn't have the heart to do it.
"Ling'er said she wanted to find you, Master. I let her go without thinking too much, but she never came back." Mrs. Zhao cried and didn't know what to do.
"You go and hide first while I look for Ling'er!" Zhao Xingzhi didn't hesitate, turned around and went to look for Zhao Ling'er.
"Master, be careful!" Mrs. Zhao burst into tears as she watched Zhao Xingzhi run into the darkness.
"What are you doing! Are you rebelling? Thieves can't change their minds! You bandits!"
However, the next moment, Zhao Xingzhi was yelling and being dragged back.
The two people who came back with Zhao Xingzhi were former bandits. Now they had weapons in their hands and looked fierce.
After the two put Zhao Xingzhi down, they cupped their hands and said, "Master Zhao, you can't leave here. Leave the outside to us!"
"Yes, since we are the people of Cang County, we should do our best for Cang County!"
Zhao Xingzhi was stunned. He originally thought that these people had rebelled, but he didn't expect that he wanted to protect them.
Zhao Xingzhi bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "I was rude just now. Please forgive me, two brothers."
"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome. As Mr. Qin said, we are a family and some misunderstandings are normal." The two laughed.
"I'm not as good as this!" Zhao Xingzhi sighed.
"My lord, you're welcome. You go and hide as quickly as possible. We will stay outside to the death!" The two of them said, holding hands.
"Master, Linger!" Zhao Fu reminded Zhao Xingzhi.
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Xingzhi quickly said to the two of them: "You two, if you see my little girl, please take her back. I will repay you generously after all!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao! If you see Ling Qianjin, you will definitely bring her back!" After the two made their promise, they hurried out.
"Master, are these two people reliable?" Mrs. Zhao asked worriedly.
"Let's go, there is no other way, and Ling'er may not have ran outside." Zhao Xingzhi sighed heavily and walked inside with his wife.
At this time, outside the manor, the bandits were already knocking on the door.
"Boom boom boom!"
The men cut down a tree at the door and used it as a battering ram.
"Harder! Fast! Hit harder!"
Suddenly, several figures appeared on the roof, pointing their bows and arrows at the bandits.
"Damn it! Shoot them with arrows!" Lao Huang commanded the veterans to fight back against the bandits.
However, Lao Huang did not expect that these bandits would react quickly and quickly raise their shields.
"What!" Lao Huang was startled and almost fell off the roof.
These people, the equipment they use, and the way they fight, all look like an army, not ordinary bandits.
How could Lao Huang, who had been in the army all year round, not see it?
"Prepare your bows and arrows, shoot down the people on the roof!" The leader waved his hand, and more than twenty bandits stood up, pointing their bows and arrows at the roof.
"Damn it! Get out!" Lao Huang's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly led the people back to the other side of the roof.
However, it was still a little slower, and several more people were hit by arrows and rolled down from the roof.
"Hahaha! The chickens and dogs also want to block my way and continue to knock on the door!" The leader laughed, as if he had a chance to win.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, the door of the manor was finally knocked open.
"Brothers, rush in! Leave no one behind! Kill! Hahaha!" The leader took the lead and rushed into the manor with others.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind flashed before his eyes. The leader was startled and hurriedly blocked it with his long sword, but was still knocked back a few steps.
"Wolf! You can't go any further today!" Sun Erniang stood at the door with a long stick in her hand, blocking the bandits.
