Chapter 32

After the group of officers and soldiers left, only two officers and soldiers were left at the door to guard them.

Lin Chu signaled Jing He to close the courtyard gate. When Jing He closed the door, he snorted heavily from his nose.

The two soldiers looked like sculptures, but there was no reaction.

Lin Chu squatted down and checked Han Xiaobaozi. He found that he had no place to trip, so he felt relieved. Lin Chu pinched his face and said, "Bun, don't force yourself in the future. You can't beat those bad people now. If you anger, you will only make them hold grudges, and then you will get back with even more revenge. So you can only endure some anger now. Wait until one day you grow up to have enough strength, so that those people dare not provoke you easily, and then let them return it little by little. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, isn't it too late for ten years?"

Han Junye pretended to be ignorant, but his heart became heavy. This woman looked so popular, but she was actually much smarter than he thought. She knew that Yan Heng was not in Yaocheng now, so she definitely could not fight Li Jianye and the others head-on, and only dealt with them within one degree. To endure a moment of energy, she received peace during this period.

If one day she is full of wings, how would she look so arrogant?

Lin Chu didn't expect the child to fully understand his words. Seeing that Han Junye didn't speak, he just rubbed his head with pity.

She glanced at the messy house and asked Jing He, "Did you find any news when you were on the street?"

Although she had guessed from the conversation between the Sixth Prince and the Deputy General, she still wanted to know some detailed situations.

Jing He said, "I heard that the barbarians surrounded Jintong Pass from three sides. The people in the pass had already gone south to flee. Now the salt and grain in Jintong Pass are cut off. If the reinforcements of the court do not arrive again, it will only be a matter of time before the fall of Jintong Pass."

Lin Chu was frightened when he heard this and asked, "Is there any news about my husband and others?"

Jing He shook his head with heavy face, "There are less than a thousand soldiers who have gone to Yaocheng. All the soldiers organized from Qiangcheng were sent to Jintong Pass. The Lord Yao City said that they had been in Qiangcheng before and had a lot of contact with the barbarians and knew how to fight this battle... However, on the way back, I saw many officers and soldiers breaking into private houses. I heard the women who were taken away by the officers and soldiers cry and scolding, and their husbands were also sent to the Jintong Pass battlefield. I was worried that you would have any accidents, so I rushed back without stopping."

Lin Chu read it in his heart and understood the reason. Lord Yao was worried that the soldiers who went to Jintong Pass would not be able to surrender in the end and wanted to detain all their families as hostages, so he naturally called it a good care of the outside world.

Li Jianye is the nephew of the Lord Yao City General. He knew the thoughts of the Lord. In addition, he had formed a bond with Yan Mingge because of the "black-faced concubine", so he wanted to avenge his private revenge.

Now there are only two officers and soldiers left in front of the mansion to guard the house, but the sixth prince still sold his face.

No matter what purpose the Sixth Prince was, Lin Chu was still grateful in his heart.

Lin Chu and Jing He cleaned up the house together. The basket of vegetables that Jing He bought before was scattered in the yard when he was fighting with the officers and soldiers. Some were still edible, while others were completely unable to do so.

Lin Chu asked Jing He to go to the door to find out the wind on the grounds of buying vegetables, and saw whether the soldiers allowed them to go out.

It turns out that it cannot.

Lin Chu had already thought about the escape plan in his heart. After hearing this reply, he ran to the gate of the yard to make trouble, scolding the two officers and soldiers, and finally attracted a small leader of theirs. Seeing that the sixth prince had spoken for them before, the little leader did not dare to treat Lin Chu too harshly. He said that although they were not allowed to go out, as long as there were groceries passing by every morning, they could call the vegetables and sell them and buy groceries at the door.

Lin Chu scolded the little leader again to relieve his hatred, and then closed the yard gate with a "bang".

When he returned to the house, Jing He was still angry, "This is clearly a house arrest."

Compared to Jing He's anger, Lin Chu was extremely calm after entering the house. He directly found a map shop in the east wing where Yan Mingge was sleeping, as if she was not the one who cursed on the street with her hips before.

Jing He cursed for a long time in discomfort. Seeing that Lin Chu had no reaction at all, he couldn't help but come over to study the map with Lin Chu. Jing He was illiterate, but he could still see where the mountain was on the map and where the river was.

"Madam, how can you still look at the map?" Jing He was a little curious and admired Lin Chu inexplicably. The person he liked was indeed impatient and simple.

Lin Chu's green and white jade-like fingers marked a route on the map, "This is our current location, this is Jintong Pass. If we climb these two mountains, it will be faster than going to Jintong Pass by the official road."

When Han Xiaobaozi heard Lin Chu's words, he stood on tiptoe to look at the map. When he saw the route chosen by Lin Chu, he couldn't help but frown between his eyebrows.

Jing He widened his eyes, "Madam, are you going to Jintong Pass?"

Lin Chu shook his head, "Not necessarily, but we have to find a safe place to stay first. At least... If there is something wrong with Jintongguan, we cannot fall into the hands of others and become a drag on my husband."

Because of this sentence, Jing He has a little more favorable impression of Lin Chu.

Lin Chujian seemed to have mentioned something unexpectedly, "It would be great if we had more people."

Jing He's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

Lin Chu's chances of winning were added to her. She was indeed not wrong. With Yan Mingge's prudence, she would not leave a way out for herself.

It is said that a centipede worm will not be stiff. Although the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has declined, it was once a century-old family, and the accumulated strength cannot be underestimated. Yan Mingge alone can support outside the pass for so many years. Lin Chu had long guessed that he should have a private soldier from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Before, Yan Mingge suddenly found a martial maid like Jing He outside the pass. Lin Chu had basically confirmed that the force behind him was entrenched near Yaocheng. However, since Yan Mingge chose not to say it, she was so smart that she didn't ask much.

Lin Chu didn't ask Jing He much at the moment.

That private soldier may be Yan Mingge's last trump card. With Yan Mingge's mysterious temperament, it is normal not to let people know easily.

That night, Lin Chu only planned the general route to escape.

Unexpectedly, just after they had breakfast the next day, another team of officers and soldiers came to the door. This time, they did not go over the main house, but went straight to the kitchen, and poured all the salt in the salt jar into a large pocket they brought, like bandits.

Jing He came into the door and protected Lin Chu with a hatchet.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers just robbed salt and went to the next house, they realized that they realized their behavior of bandits and couldn't help but curse a few words.

Lin Chu smelled an unusual smell. She chased to the gate of the courtyard, and the officers and soldiers guarding the courtyard crossed the two spears together, stopping her from taking steps.

A small local official living in Yaocheng opposite their house. The group of officers and soldiers who were robbing salt directly opened the door and broke in. Soon after, the mistress of the house was a fat woman, and she chased after her, "You guys who are so conscientious, you must grab salt!"

The officer and soldier shouted angrily, "The three armies cut off salt, we are here to seek salt upon the order of the chief general!"

Lin Chu's eyelids twitched. This... in the original work, didn't it appear after the beginning of spring?

What exactly went wrong?

She wanted to know the answer, but now she was under house arrest and had no way of knowing external news.

In the afternoon, Niang Qin came to the door.

Two officers and soldiers stopped Qin Niangzi from entering. Lin Chu opened the gate of the courtyard and angrily cursed, "Do you have any reason? Is my husband guilty or I guilty? It's okay if you stand here like a door god every day, don't you allow me to go out, and no one else to come in to see me? Those who are in prison are still allowed to visit the prison! Did your general say that outsiders are not allowed to enter my yard?"

The two officers and soldiers were scolded and they could see the skill of this woman cursing. The key is that Lin Chu said everything again. This matter was originally something that Lord Yao did not kindly. In their hearts, Lin Chu was protected by the sixth prince and did not dare to provoke Lin Chu, so he let Niang Qin in.

"Miss Qin, why are you here?" Lin Chu led Mrs Qin into the house and poured her a cup of tea with his own hands.

Madam Qin's face was red with cold, perhaps because of the reason she had cried, and her eyes were red. She held the steaming cup of tea, and before she could drink it, tears were about to fall again.

This scared Lin Chu and asked, "What happened to you? Tell me first, don't cry."

Madam Qin wiped tears with her sleeves and said, "Girl, I treat you as my own person and I don't talk in a circle. Do you know the news about Wang Hu and the others?"

When she said the word "Wang Hu", her eyes turned red again.

Lin Chu had some bad premonition in his heart, and she said, "Madam, you have seen it too. I have been under house arrest since yesterday. I don't know the news outside at all. Is there something wrong with Jintong?"

Niang Qin looked at Lin Chu and hesitated a little, and finally spoke like a broken jar. "At this critical moment, I don't say anything nonsense about fearing that you will be sad. As soon as my tea shop opened this morning, I heard many people say that Jintong Pass is afraid that it will be lost. The 200,000 barbarians can pile up the city tower of Jintong Pass even if they use corpses to pile them up. Moreover, a team of barbarians actually bypassed Lucai Ling and robbed the convoy that transported grain. In the end, although the food and grass were saved, the salt sent to the border was ruined so that there was no bag left. There was no shortage of salt in the border gate, and the officers and soldiers were collecting salt from each household..."

The more Lin Chu listened, the more he felt. She knew that Niangzi Qin was going on this trip because she was afraid that Yan Mingge would write letters to her, and wanted to find out some news about Jintong Pass from her. If Wang Hu could come back from the battlefield alive, she might have a marriage with Niangzi.

Lin Chu didn't know how to comfort Niang Qin, but said, "My husband and others have always had a good deed, and they will definitely be able to come back safely..."

After realizing it, Madam Qin realized that she was afraid that her words would cause trouble for Lin Chu, so she hurriedly said, "Girl, don't worry too much. Your husband is a capable man at first sight. If you fight in the Golden Boy Pass, you may win?"

The two of them were in a bad mood. After chatting for a few words, Niang Qin stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Chu ran back to the house, cleaned up together, and asked Jing He to go to the kitchen to help him bake a lot of noodles.

No matter how slow Jing He was, he discovered that Lin Chu was planning to run away. She also realized the seriousness of the situation. She was afraid that Lin Chu would be impulsive and said, "Madam, don't worry. Before the master left, he left a small group of people and said that if there was any accident, let us take you to another place to avoid it."

Lin Chu was waiting for this sentence. She wrapped the pancakes with a clean veil and said, "We won't escape to the south. If you ask someone to find someone familiar with the border terrain! Let's leave at midnight!"

Although Jing He didn't know why Lin Chu wanted to find someone who was familiar with the terrain of this place, he still did it.

Lin Chu always thought that they were the only ones nearby. When he heard Jing He making a few bird songs and a few similar bird songs came from a distance, Lin Chu widened his eyes and found that there was a message that there was a secret number.
