That's what Feng Yibo was thinking.
The carriage could not run in the city and could easily be overtaken by the slaves.
So we have to find a way.
The best way is to take Xue Pan as a hostage.
But Xue Pan fainted, and it was difficult to control himself when he woke up halfway.
So he turned his attention to Xue Baochai.
Just let her go out of the city with him as a hostage.
Being in the public eye won't damage her reputation.
When they leave the city and go up Guandao, it will not be easy for these wealthy slaves to chase the carriage.
But the same thing seems different to Xue Baochai.
The other party looked at his brother first and then at himself.
Is this a hint that if you don't obey, you will hurt your brother?
Xue Baochai felt that for the safety of the only seedling in the Xue family's main house.
I have no choice!
Her expression changed several times, and finally she sighed and waved to the side.
The maid Ying'er and several women came over cautiously and looked at Feng Yibo cautiously.
Seeing that he didn't mean to stop him, a few people whispered something.
With the support of her mother-in-law, Baochai stepped on the wooden steps that Gouzi had moved down, and maintained her final grace before getting into the carriage.
I took one last look at Xue Pan, who was still lying on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart:
Although it may damage some reputations, if it can make my brother understand something, he can learn a lesson.
That’s worth it!
The Hao slaves were not far away, and Ying'er and a woman also got on the carriage.
Feng Yibo looked at the wealthy slaves who were coming and gave a free and easy fist:
"Thank you for your hard work! You must have just seen that this is your eldest lady in the car, and she is determined to take us out of the city!"
Haonu looked at each other, and the remaining mother-in-law went over and said a few words, but they didn't dare to move at all.
"I believe your lady will get off the bus when she leaves the city, so please wait a moment."
Feng Yibo maintained his smile, but seemed to have remembered something.
"Well, step back! Otherwise..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this was a threat.
"Hurry up! If you stay further away, don't get a hundred steps closer to me, otherwise your lady may send me even further away."
The mother-in-law was afraid that he would do something rude, so she quickly turned around and pushed the slaves back.
Seeing that it had some effect, Feng Yibo smiled to appease him.
"Don't worry, everyone, you also know my identity, and I must keep my word."
Only then did everyone remember his identity as a scholar, let alone Ying Tianfu Jieyuan.
He must have been forced to do anything, and he must not be stupid enough to do something that would ruin his future.
Bar?
At this time, Feng Yibo took out a stack of money orders from Gouzi.
After thinking for a while, he took out all the money orders and money he had on him.
He pressed the bill with silver and said loudly:
"Here are more than 600 taels of silver, of which 500 taels are for buying people. As you all know, the rest is for the soup and medicine expenses of those two people. You can collect it for them."
Seeing this, the faces of the slaves and women softened a little.
At the same time, he was looking here from a distance, for fear that the banknote would be taken away by others.
The carriage here is already full, and there are women like Xue Baochai.
Feng Yibo is naturally not easy to ride with.
He sat down on the "passenger seat" in front and signaled the dog to start.
"drive!"
The carriage started slowly, and Gouzi glanced at the many wealthy slaves and women who were decorated.
Then he looked at Feng Yibo next to him.
He hesitated and said: "Little master...you said...we are not robbing civilian girls, right?"
"This...uh...how can this be counted?"
Feng Yibo was a little stuck and thought for a while before explaining:
"We just asked Miss Xue to take us outside the city. Her maid and mother-in-law were all in the car, and the servants were following behind. As soon as we got outside the city, she would get off the car and go home. You said, how can this be considered What about robbing civilian girls?"
After hesitating for a moment, he added:
"At most, it's an emergency escape!"
Then he turned around and explained to the carriage:
"It means following the authority when things are urgent."
Unknowingly, the carriage had already left the city gate.
Xue Baochai saw it from the car curtain and suddenly became nervous.
She only hopes that Feng Yibo can keep his word and stop causing unnecessary trouble.
"We have left the city. Miss Baochai can get off the car."
Hearing Feng Yibo's words, Xue Baochai felt slightly relieved.
Gouzi also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down the wooden steps.
Ying'er and her mother-in-law got out of the car and stepped forward to help Xue Baochai get out of the car.
The slaves and wives behind saw their young lady getting out of the car from a distance. Their hearts dropped and they hurried over quickly.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a fast horse galloped out of the city, almost grazing the slaves and women.
The man held documents and tokens and shouted "urgent order".
The defenders at the city gate fell into brief chaos, and the team leaving the city also came to a standstill.
Then, an army with neat appearance but chaotic steps appeared.
Someone was responsible for clearing the way in front, pushing the people inside the city gate, including the wealthy slaves and women of the Xue family, to both sides.
This team had a large number of people and seemed to be marching in a hurry, trotting all the way out of the city.
Feng Yibo and Xue Baochai watched them pass by the carriage.
The last person standing in line was an officer, who looked majestic and majestic.
He was wearing armor and riding a war horse, and he didn't even look at the carriage.
Just as everyone recovered, the city gate began to close with a creaking sound.
People on both sides saw each other's surprise through the crack in the door.
"Master Bing, I have to leave the city. I have to go home today!"
"We are Xiu Mu's descendants, can you let us in?"
"Okay, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, and she is still waiting for me to deliver medicine outside the city!"
"..."
There was a bit of confusion among the people entering and exiting, but unfortunately before any more movements could be made, a "bang" was heard.
The city gate was completely closed.
For a moment, the line of sight was completely cut off.
The Xue family's servants and the Feng family's carriage were separated by the city gate.
Like a natural chasm.
Done!
Is this really a case of robbing a civilian girl?
The closing of the city gate was unexpected, and Feng Yibo was dumbfounded at this time.
"I heard that the Japanese pirates were going to attack the city, but I didn't expect that they would be late!"
"Yes! I also want to take the whole family to the city for a while!"
"..."
Feng Yibo listened to the discussion and roughly understood what happened.
That's right.
This is the second thing circulating in Jinling City today.
Longlin Guard captured two Japanese pirates, Xi Zuo, in the city. After interrogation, they learned that the Japanese pirates were going to attack Jinling in the near future!
After receiving the news, the government immediately ordered that the seventeen inner and eighteen outer gates of Jinling, a total of thirty-five city gates, be closed immediately.
The Dragon Scale Guards were also ordered to begin searching the entire city to avoid any omissions.
The Nanjing Ministry of War sent an order to the Nanjing Camp to attack and this group of Japanese pirates must be wiped out immediately.
And then.
This is the scene at the beginning of the book.
Xue Baochai sighed secretly and once again had no choice but to get in the car obediently.
…
Just when Xue Baochai got on the bus, a tragic incident was happening fifty miles south of Jinling City.
From time to time, women screamed and cried from the houses on both sides of the village road. The threshing floor in the middle of the village was filled with corpses of men, women, and children.
Several Japanese pirates set up a stove to cook in a large house, chatting and laughing loudly.
Daqiao Wulang, wearing a samurai armor and two Japanese swords, one long and one short, was standing at the entrance of the village looking in the direction of Jinling.
